Any Formula To Recognize Value Vs. Formula
Jan 5, 2007
Sounds kind of confusing, but here's what I am trying to do. I have a stock template that goes out to MSN Stock Quote and retrieves data each time you click a button embedded in the worksheet. After doing this, the user must click a "FINALIZE" button that pastes the values of what was just retrieved into the same cells, thereby eliminating the formulas. This part works fine. The problem is I want to create some sort of warning sign for the users that lets them know if they have left formulas in the spreadsheet before they send it to others.
Is there some sort of formula (kind of like an =ISERROR formula) that would recognize if a cell contains a value or a formula?

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$9,F2,OFFSET($C$2:$C$9,1,0))
It works great.
The issue is that the information (time) that I import into excel doesn't show as information if there is a zero in front the amount of hours. I can physically see the information but have trouble using it. For instance if I add
(A1) 05:25:25
(A2) 10:25:25
(A3) 02:25:25
If I total/SUM this my total is 10:25:25. It will not recognize anything under 10 with a first digit as a zero. So for me to add this I use:
=SUMPRODUCT(B3:B25+0)
This also works great. Now on to my issue.
I am using the 1st formula to grab data i.e. (A1). It will not recognize that as anything. It comes up as zero. I can't figure out what to add to the 1st formula for it to recognize the info.

I am continually getting data withthe format YYYY-MM however I cant get excel to recognize this as a date. i simply need a formula that converts the format to anything that excel will recognize as a date so that I can apply some other formulas to it.

I'm trying to figure out a formula to be able to look at a column of txt and if it finds the word total it need to output the number at the column next to it. If the word total isnt in the text then it should leave it blanks (see below). Basically I want a column that pulls only the totals amounts in the column.

I like to create "templates" for files that I work with on a reoccuring basis, just to make things simpler. The current template I am working on tracks items processed by day and is used for two reporting purposes; 1 totals the pay ending items processed so I have the dates laid out based on the 2 week period with formulas for that. The 2nd way it is reported is by the month. Since this is a template, only the first day of the first pay period for a calendar year needs to be entered and the rest of the dates populate based on that date. What I would now like to do is add columns for January - December monthly totals using a formula that will read something like "if column A (where the date is) contains 1/1/2014 - 1/31/2014, then sum up column L" and than copy that formula for the remaining months.

I was wondering if there is a formla that will delete a formula when it has done its calculation, or stop the formula from constantly updating.
I've got a formula
=IF(COUNTA(A1)=1,TODAY(),"")
When something is typed in Cell A1 the cell with the formula will input todays date.
Is there a formula that will stop this formula from updating, as when you go into the file on a different day the date would have been updated.

I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.

Here is the scenario:
A B C D
BananasApplesOrangesTotal113=A1+B1+C1
I need to reference the formula in D1 with the cells headers names.
In a perfect world, it would take
=A1+B1+C1:
and produce:
=Bananas+Apples+Oranges

I am trying to use a combination of Concatenate and IF formula to produce an email.
My input.
D4: First Name:
D5: Middle Name:
D6: Last Name:
D8: Organization:
Once all these are filled, I want the formula to produce a result like
FirstName.M.LastName@Organization.com
I have used the following formula.
[Code] .....
Problem is if there is a middle name the formula works fine, but in case where there is no middle name, it produces the following result.
FirstName..LastName@Organization.com
How do I remove the additional (.) in cases where there is no middle name.

I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.
I want a formula in Cell A6 (and I already know it correctly works) in this format: =E6&VLOOKUP(I6,'FA-Fund Data'!B$1:C$2000,2,FALSE)&J6

Is it possible to write a formula that skips x number of cells and have the formula autoincrement as usual. For an examples lets say I want to skip 3 cells and I have entered in the cells listed:
A1= "1"
A2= "2"
A3= "3"
Then I type in the simple formula in the cell
B1= "=A1"
and then drag down but it skips 3 cells so then
B5= "=A2"
B9= "=A3"
If it didn't skip then
B1= "=A1"
B2= "=A2"
B3= "=A3"
this is just an example as I will be writing more complex formulas and need some thing that I can write into the formula so that it skips.
Something similar to this B1 "=A1(skip3cells)"

I would like to copy a formula in a cell and then paste only the text of the formula, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I would like to avoid going into the cells and absolute referencing or hitting F2, then copying the text.
When I hit "Ctrl C" to copy the cell, then hit "Alt/E/S/F/Enter" to paste the formula, it is just like a regular copy/paste formula-wise in that the references move.

I have some student marks in columns B to F. If some one get below 40 marks he fails and the subject in which he has been failed will come in Remarks column. If he has passed in all subjects remarks column will show Pass.
To bring failed subject initial in Remarks i have to create 5 additional column and then thru Concatenate i joined them.
Is There any formula to show fail subject in Remarks column without creating 5 additional columns?

This task joins a string together based on a number of characters per cell in the range.
I want to isolate one range, Col N, and add an IF condition to it.
There may be other issues preventing this from happening, e.g. the number of IF that exist in the complete formula. I will isolate the current cell and its requirements and then post the entire formula at the end for reference....

I am using vlookup to get a cell value from another sheet, but if the cell has "&" or "/" I need to substitue "&" and "/" with "and" so that the cell can be added later to a url.
i am using =VLOOKUP(a1,Sheet2!A1:W17968,6) to get the value of a1 in sheet 2 and return the value of column 6
this will return "Audio Cables & Leads" but i need it to say Audio Cables and Leads
I need the formula to also check and replace "/" with "and" as well so cables/wire will be Cables and wire

I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of dates: What I need is a formula that will count the number of cells that hava a date more than 6 months old. I also would like the field automated so I don't have to change the date manually every day.
=COUNTIF(S5:S593,"<2012/06/18") This formula will give the correct read out, but I must change the date manually.
My attempts at adding a =today() command in place of the date result in 0 being the result (not correct)
This is what I have tried: =COUNTIF(S5:S593,"<"=TODAY()-"183")

In my attached spreadsheet example below, in the Rollup Data sheet, I have a formula (Cell: C17) that will give me the actual cost totals that has been invoiced on WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) for a total of $35,004.81.
What I need the formula do is run a redundant check procedure on my new WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total formula in the Rollup Data sheet (Cell: C17) against/vs. what the SAP system provides in the raw SAP Excel export contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet for the WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total of $35,004.81 (Cell: F9) that's highlighted in the yellow row.
In the Rollup Data sheet (Cell: C18), I need this formula to perform a similar function the as the previous formula above it (Cell: C17), but it this formulas function (Cell: C18) would have a separate operation that would only look for and return the single/sole WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet (Cell: F9).
In the Rollup Data sheet I could then compare my two WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual costs totals, the first from the automated addition of all the individual matching WBS Element actual costs into an actual cost total (Cell: C17), the second (new formula I'm requesting) from the matching and return function of the single/sole WBS Element actual cost total (Cell: C18).
So, if the two separate WBS Element actual cost totals (Cells: C17 vs. C18) both equal $35,004.81, the formula in C17 is a success and has correctly identified and added all the actual costs contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet, but if the two separate WBS Element actual cost totals (Cells: C17 vs. C18) both do not equal $35,004.81, the formula in C17 failed for some reason and has not correctly identified and added all the required actual costs contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet.

I am trying to create a graph of my data at the end of each month. The graph will show a count of the number of instances of each category in the data.
For example:
A1 =TODAY()B1 =MONTH(A1)
Column A from A3 down = 1,2,3,4,W,H,L
Column I between I2 and I140 = multiple instances of 1,2,3,4,W,H,L
July
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A3)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A4)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A5)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A6)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A7)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A8)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A9)),"0")
=IF($B$1=7,(COUNTIF($I$2:$I$140,$A10)),"0")
My problem is that when it comes around to August or the next month, I want the final count of July to be fixed/frozen so it won't change from the 1st of the month. I can then use the July column's data for my graph.
Can a formula convert itself into a value or freeze itself after certain criteria has been fulfilled?

i have two excel files which are data and master..both files will be use for salary calculating.. the vlookup formula will be use in master files for dragging the salary data from Data files..the formula as follow VLOOKUP(B4:B225,'D:Salary[Data.xls]AUG'!A$1:F$65536,6,FALSE))
the vlookup working fine to me.. but my problems is i want the data to be auto calculated when they have same value in two columns.. or if the name is similar/match in two columns (one for salary and another one for overtime), the salary should be auto calculated.
Data files will contain of these:
a:Employee ID
b:employee name
c:Employee salary/Overtime
Master files will contain of these:
a:Employee ID
b:Emplyee Name
c:Employee Nett Salary (that will be dragging from Data files)
is there any formula that i can used to combined with my vlookup formula?

2 formulas that I need for my work (related with linear recurrences; this is serious work). First, I would like to know if is it possible to write a formula (or a set of formulas) that allows to write in a first column, in the first cell, the number 1 and in the following m cells, m distinct numbers chosen in a set S of n numbers (n > m); in the second column again the number one, and another set of m distinct numbers chosen in the same set S (here the order of the elements matters which means that the set {1,2} can be written as (1,2) and (2,1)). And I would like to do this until all the choices of m (ordered) numbers chosen in the set S are exhausted. Example: S = {2,3,4} which means that n=3. Suppose m=2. Then the columns would be
111111
223344
342423
The second formula I'm searching is (I think) a logical formula. What I would like is a formula that checks if the numbers in a fixed number of consecutive cells of a column are distinct and also non-null. If that's the case the formula should assign TRUE and if (at least) two cells are equal or (at least) one is zero, it would assign FALSE.

I'm wondering if it's possible to write a formala that if a certain condition is met, performs a formula referenced in another cell. For example: Column A contains a list of formulas. In column B is the condition, let's use Work Type as an example. The result (or the formula I need) would be in column C. So if the work type is "Type1", then the formula in the corresponding column C cell would perform the formula in cell A5. If the work type is "Type8", then the formula in the corresponding column C cell would perform the formula in cell A2.
Is this possible to do without VBA?

I currently use the following formula: =workday(H21,H23,J20:J34) which calculates my date based the date entered in cell H21. While testing I realized that I needed to add another variable to the formula for a specific scenario. When my Date in H21 is less than todays date I require another workday formula to be calculated. How can I add this if statement to the existing formula?
