How do I get to see the equation behind Excel Functions? For instance, the result of pmt() is not making sense to me, I'd like to see what this function is doing and how it is calculating its value. Trial and Error is rather time-consuming and tedious.
Lets say I write an equation on my sheet such as: ='A1'!$H422*AH$138
but instead of hard coding the A1 sheet name, I want that to be a value that I can put in a different cell (lets say cell C1) on my same sheet in such a way that it will reference the value in my other cell (Cell C1) and put its value into that equation.
So if I make the value in C1 = A99 then the equation becomes ='A99'!$H422*AH$138
i am plotting graphs which i need the equation of the line from. i have been manually typing the x^3, X^2, X^1 and X^0 values into 4 cells which is then used elsewhere, but wanted to know if its possible to get some code to do that for me?
Below is a nonlinear model, together with calibration data for which I would like to find the parameters Ro, Kc, a and b.
R = Ro + Kc * (1/(1 + exp(-(a + b*lnC))
Calibration Data
C R 0.00.3347 4.80.4201 7.70.5141 11.20.6177 14.40.6887
Given the calibration data above, how can I calculate or at least estimate these parameters? I do not want to use an add-in program, like Solver, in Excel. I do, however, want to be able to use any existing functions, if necessary, in Excel. i'd appreciate it if someone can walk me through the steps.
The equation is basically: 10^[A/20]+10^[B/20]+10^[C/20]. Now imagine that there is no input value for C. I need to make it so that it won't add the bit I've highlighted in green.
I will like to ask, if there is a way to get in a cell the result of a simple equation without having to copy the contents of that cell with a = in front for example if i have in one cell
How to add an equation to a drop down selection if you take a look at the picture in the link supplied, what I want to do is: I want the calculator to take the number in D12 then if the drop down box under it the selection is (as it is) too high then subtract 50 (k11) from D12 and display the answer in D14. I have listed the 3 drop down choices in column L, Lap 2 I would do exactly the same and so on [URL] .........
I am trying to calculate the equation of a curve which best fits some data. On the x-axis is date and y-axis the readings. The curve is quadratic, so on the chart I am fitting a 2nd order polyomial and displaying the equation. To prove that the equation the trendline gives me is reasonable, I am applying the equation on the x parameter to get the y parameter estimate and looking to see the error between predicted and actual - see attached.
The equation and the output from it are clearly rubbish, even though on the graph the trendline is a reasonable fit - see attached. Has anyone any ideas why? I think it has something to do with using a date on the x-axis but no idea why. Is there a way to correct for this? I also tried using the following I to calculate the coefficients which came up with a reasonable forecast (although linest should only be used for linear data): =LINEST(C3:C15,B3:B15^{1,2,3})
I'm familiar with 2d graphs, trendlines, and regression equations. Now I have some tabular data that has 2 input variables and a result. As with my 2d data, I would like Excel to create a polynomial equation of z from the x and y inputs. Can Excel do this, or do I need a plug-in or another software package?
Any way I can get an equation to only apply to cells with information in? E.g. I have two columns, one with 'disposal dates' in and the other with 'extended disposal dates'. I would like to get the difference between them (Extended disposal dates- disposal dates) however not all of them have an extended disposal date, therefore some cells display as '#VALUE!' because its calculating the disposal date-blank cell....
I want to do is a simple list, 2 items, call them "Thing_1" and "Thing_2". I have an equation in a column of cells. The equation is a simple If statement. If the user selects "Thing_1" then the first equation will run, and if "Thing_2" is selected then the second equation will be used. That's it. No more complex than that.
My original questions about how to initialize a ComboBox are cross-posted here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post1996135
What I would like to do is use a drop down list Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 etc and then be able to use whatever is selected to reference a value in another cell.
Excuse my ignorance but something like Cell 1 * (If Type 1 from the list is selected use figure in Cell 3, If Type 2 from the list is selected use figure in Cell 4..........) etc etc
to create the following formula which I'm now repeating in more elaborate forms. At the moment I am using the formula below but I need to get the bit in red in the second half of the formula to search on more than the one condition.
Currently it is searching a postcode abbreviation field and is picking up all those with 'BS' however I don't just want to search on BS. I would like to search on BS, BA, SN, TA, GL. I have tried putting different combination using commas and plus signs etc in but excel doens't seem to like the way I'm doing it.
I have two cells (c1 and c2). c1 contains (2+3*4)*3 without "=" at start. c2 must contain the result of c1 it means 42. I think it has a very simple sulution but I don't know it. In the attached file I have a few variants I tried to solve it but they both don't fit.
I'm in the middle of designing a sheet that (amongst many other things) takes the equation of a graph trendline, pastes it, and calculates the various values along it. I can do it by hand, but when I try to record a macro, it doesn't register that I've highlighted the equation and hit copy. Here's the code I'm working with:
Sheets("Graphs").Select ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Trendlines(1).DataLabel.Select Selection.Copy ActiveWindow.Visible = False Windows("Copy of HRA Design calculator1.xls").Activate Sheets("Binder @ max. stability").Select Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.paste
The problem is line 4 - it can't copy because the text isn't selected.
