I have this formula in a cell: =IF(ISTEXT(F5),F4,""). The problem is F5 is visually blank and has this formula =B3. so it returns F4. Is there a way to rewrite the formula or to use another formula, so it will return blank?

I am summing 3 cells, A3, A4 & A5. Cells A4 and A5 may contain text. I want to write a formula using the IF(ISTEXT funciton which says something like this:
Sum(A3:A5), if cell A4 and A5 contain text then sum just A3. If only cell A5 contains text then sum just A3:A4.
Im not sure exaclty how to construct this.
I have a rota sheet whereby shifts are written in as start time, finish time, and then a calculation for the hours.
At the bottom I have another SUM formula to calculate total daily hours.
However, within the total personal hours I have a VLOOKUP formula to check if the start time cell has a holiday text reference.
Please see below:
Take the "Sergei" example: he starts at 9am, finishes at 8pm, and the formula automatically calculates an 11 hour working day.
However, in the "Tom" example, the "TH" refers to another sheet which houses a reference of the amount of hours to place in the total hours box if those letters appear, thus imputing holiday hours at the same time.
"=IF(ISTEXT(F24),VLOOKUP(F24,'Hol-Meet Hours'!$F$7:$G$27,2,0),(G24-F24)*24-IF((G24-F24)*24>6,0,0))"
What I am struggling with is to use an IF and ISTEXT formula in the "Daily Hours" formula to ignore any holiday inputs, thus only giving me trading hours.
The only way I could think of doing it was something along these lines:
"IF(ISTEXT(F16),SUM(F17:F31),SUM(F16:F31)...et al"
The issue here is that I need to repeat the formula for every staff member within the same cell's formula, which I don't know how to do (multiple functions within a formula repeated 20 times), and is a right drag.
I've been trying to use excel's Isnumber or Istext function to evaluate a range of cells, but have been unsuccesful so far. Is it even possible? or is the formula just restricted to evaluating only single cells?
For example, if I do, Isnumber(A1:A10), is there any way to make that work?
I have a workbook with worksheets named by peoples names. There are cells in my summary sheet that contain all the names of the worksheets (or peoples names).
Each worksheet has a table in it that I am trying to search one column to find a specific name and then report if there is text in another column in the same row. If I use the following formula:
=IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!f10"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!h10"))))=TRUE,1,0)
It works and I'll return a "1" for cells in column F that have text and a "0" for columns that don't.
However, I am trying to sum up the cells in F that have text and when I enter:
{=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!F10:F200"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!H10:H200")))),1,0))}
it returns "1" when that should not be the answer. Am I doing something with the array in my INDIRECT formula? I used this similar application for another purpose in this workbook and refereced the array through INDIRECT the same way (but didn't use MATCH or INDEX) and it worked fine. This was the formula:
{=IF(SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0))>0,SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0)),"-")}
I'd like to search a cell A1 containing for example 'hello_L765'. If the 7th character is L and the 8th character is text(ie not a number) than display yes, otherwise display the 7th character.

I'm using =IF(ISTEXT(E135),G135) Can I add cell E139 (and how many additional cells could be added) or can I set it up to search E135:E144.
I'm trying to apply the istext to a cell that has multiple values eg: [car, boat, truck] so I have setup the cell with the formula
=istext(c147 = "car",1,0)
it returns false constantly. Is that becuase of the other values separated by comma's in that same cell?
Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to go through 300+ cells that have multiple values to separate them?
I am trying to create code that deletes lines in a spreadsheet when the first column is either blank or has text in it. However, when writing the VBA code, ISNUMBER and ISTEXT do not work. Amazingly, ISBLANK does work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 4 cols, x rows. I need Column C to check Column B for a numerical value, and if true, return the value in B, and if not true, then return value from A. Column B are functions formatted as general. The reference made by Sheet2!B is numbers formatted as text as to retain leading zeros. Here is what I have so far
=IF(ISBLANK($B10),$A10,$B10)
I'm trying to validate a cell in Excel 2007 that should contain only two letters.
Formula:
Code:
=IF(AND(LEN(A1)=2,ISTEXT(A1)),TRUE,FALSE)
When the value of A1 is JK, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 12, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3K, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is K3, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 123, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is JKL, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is K, the result is FALSE
The LEN function works as expected, but the ISTEXT function does not, whenever the cell contains a number and a letter. I've tested the LEN and ISTEXT functions separately, and get the same results.
Is it me, or is it Excel?
I can't modify my formula to leave blank cells blank when dragging it down, Also, I've got two formulas that i need to combine. Please view the comments I've put in cells E4, F2,F3,H2 and I2 to understand clearly what am seeking. See the attached worksheet.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have one column that contains an If statement formula and would like the next column to then work off of the first column (i.e. if that 1st column returns a value then then adjacent column uses that result).
What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)
was workin' on a text recognition question with someone here:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-new-...ml#post2071064
and another user posted this:
My workbook is for financial planning but I'm attempting to streamline an input page (name, birthdate, etc) that will be referenced throughout the entire workbook to trigger automatic calculations (present value, education calculations, etc).
The cell in the input page is a birthdate - which when populated will trigger a cell on a different worksheet to calculate the respective age using this formula:
Code:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY())>MONTH('Input Page'!B30),YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30), IF(AND(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH('Input Page'!B30),DAY(TODAY())>=DAY('Input Page'!B30)),
YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30),(YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30))-1))
The problem is if there is nothing written in the birthdate cell then the age cell will automatically calculate 114 (reference photo below). Ideally I'd like that cell to be blank if nothing is in the birthdate cell on the input worksheet. I'm assuming since I'm using an IF formula to calculate the age already then I'll need to use a macro to to an "ignore".

i've got a pricing spreadsheet that's doing my head in. hopefully someone can help me with my latest formula issue.
when i expor the file as a pdf, you loose the column names. so...
a b c d e f g h
part ID qty 1 price qty 2 price qty 3 price discount price
i want to calculate the discount price as a perctange of either b/c or d/e or f/g groupinsg (qty break & price for that paricular qty amt). The problem is b/c are populated for all rows. some parts have a secdonary price break (d/e) and some have a tiertary price break (f/g).
I want to take the percentge discount off the high qty price break. So if f/g is populated I want to take it from that. If it's not populated, then e/f. and Only if f/g & e/f are NOT populated do i want to take the discount from b/c. is there a formula i can insert into H to do this?

I have a spreadsheet which projects the amount of work on hand each week. It runs up to the end of the year and shows the estimated figures and then each week I input the actual figures. The way it works at the moment is that it looks at the estimated work on hand, adds the work on which has been received and then takes off the work that has been cleared...this then gives an estimated level of on hand work.
What I want it to do is to look at the cell which would show the actual work on hand and if thats empty then go on to look at the estimated work on hand. In other words - I want a formula that looks at a cell to see if there's a figure in it and if not uses another cell instead. I have tried: =If(u5=0,r5+y5-z5)
but when I input a figure into U5 it inputs FALSE into the cell. I don't want it to do that, I want it to look in cell U5 and if there's something there then do U5+Y5-Z5.....and if U5 is empty then do R5+Y5-Z5

I have been trying to import CSV files into Excel on my new computer. I previously had a windows 7 system with office 2007. I have now moved across to a windows 8 system with office 2013. The problem I am faced with is the CSV files which I imported without problems on my old system don't seem to work on the new one. The excel spreadsheet shows the numbers, but when I try and use any formula, the cell comes up with 0, as if there is nothing in the cell. When using my old system, it shows that it is a picture that needs to be converted to text, but I cannot find out how to sort this out in Windows 8. I have even tried various versions of office, 2007, and 2010 on the windows 8 system with the same problem. I have tried all the things I have found online, checking the regional settings and those type of things.

Is there any way I can show a cell as blank if the return equals 0?
I'm sure the resolution is probably simple but then so am I.
Probably a simple method that i have not tried. I have a table where some cells are populated with #N/A. I am trying to work out a formula in another cell saying if the cell that contains #N/A then leave this cell blank.
