I have some imported data that lists the date in separate columns.
i.e.
ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
January.......10.........2013
How do I convert this to a date by using a formula? Later I want to use the date in an array formula to sort the list.
After I imported this data, the date and time is in the same column in the format of "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" military time. How do I write a VBA code to split up the date and time into two separate columns. One column would only have "mm/dd/yyyy" while the other only have "hh:mm:ss" in military time.
Eventually, I need to extract information from the data by looking for a specific time. I would also plot time vs something.
I don't know if treating it as a string would work, because it would just become a text rather than a time, right?
So I have a workbook that has a range of dates in one column and a corresponding range of times in the column next to it. On a separate sheet I want to return the lowest time&date, and then the maximum time&date. I've tried a few different things but nothing is working.I tried this:
Code:
=MIN(B:B+D:D)
This didn't work for some reason. It did return a time, but it wasn't the lowest. The maximum wasn't even close.
Previously I was just doing the min/max of the date in one cell and then the min/max of the time in a different one, but obviously that didn't work since the time wasn't going off of the maximum date, so it was just showing the lowest time period.
I receive an extraction from AutoCAD that lists the electrical devices in a drawing. I don't have any problems extracting the letters. I have a problem extracting the device number and the device number extension.
The device label extraction is similar to this:
DCM1005-1
DCM1005-10
DCM1005A
MTR1005-1
MTR1005-10
MTR1005A
I want to create 3 columns from the device label: (I separated the column with commas)
A1, B1, C1, D1
DCM1005-1, DCM, 1005, 1
DCM1005-10, DCM, 1005, 10
DCM1005A, DCM, 1005, A
MTR1005-1, MTR, 1005, 1
MTR1005-10, MTR, 1005, 10
MTR1005A, MTR, 1005, A
How can I separate the following numeric/text combination into two (2) separate columns in Excel?
302ALTO
406AMZN
451AMRC
404AMAD
605ANCC
405ADRC
The result would be:
302 ALTO
406 AMZN
451 AMRC
404 AMAD
605 ANCC
405 ADRC
I have a list of .xls filenames contained in a sheet that I would like to utilize in separate formulas in the same workbook.
I can't seem to write a formula to utilize a filename in a separate cell to gather data from said filename.
In other words, I would like to do something like the following:
Cell A1: '[filename.xls]'
Cell A2: =A1Sheet1!A1
to gather the data from Sheet1 cell A1 in filename.xls, but it doesn't work no matter how I have tried. It seems the only way is to actually manually transcribe the filename into cell A2, but this doesn't seem right. There must be a way to do this.
What I want is one sheet that has all of the fomulas, then 4 other sheets that take those formulas and calculate the output based on the formulas and one column of input.
So essentially, I want to be able to change the formula once, and have it applied to all of the other sheets, resulting in a new output for each one.
I'm trying to compare values in 2 separate columns to see how many times the same value appears in both columns. Ideally I would be able to insert a range function to compare the values in the column "ID 1" against the values in column "ID 2" and return the count of times that a value appears in both columns. For example 2122, 1112 and 1718 appear in both columns and I would like the formula to return a count of 3.
ID 1ID 2
12342122
45671112
89101718
11122678
13144544
15162324
17189987
19201215
21221928
1976
2576

In my actual project I'm comparing 2 columns in the same worksheet. The column are column B with data in cells B2:B10266 against column C with data in cells C2:C18560.
I have four columns of data, as follows:
label 1, value 1, label 2, value 2
I need to create a formula in the fith column that for each line will tell excel to:
look for entry in 'label 1' in 'label 2' if there is a match, then subtract value 1 from value 2, display result.
I have tried doing this with SUMIF but am getting nowhere fast....

I typed in the word array into Excel Help and found this item
"About array formulas and how to enter them"
I am trying to duplicate the first example and cannot
Ex: =Average(if(C5:C14="Europe",D5:D14))
I tried something similar to this (diff cell ref) and I get #VALUE
Do I need to check off an addin or something?
Do array formulas work if the array is across sheets instead of across columns or rows? I'm getting a #Ref! error when I try to use an "across sheets" array.
I'm doing this:
=sum(if('Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!A1=1,'Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!A2,0))

I have been lurking around for past month learning lots from MrExcel's wonderful web site. One of the many things I learned was how to improve my spreadsheets with Array Formulas, but today I ran into a problem on a new spreadsheet I'm building for work.
Here's the problem: I have 39 coworkers. For each coworker, I have 14 Array Formulas using SUMPRODUCT command with up to 5 "conditions", similar to this example:
{=SUMPRODUCT((user=$A$5)*(task=AO$3)*(DateChecked>0)*((Error="Error Removed")+(Error="Error Converted to an FYI")))}
Each condition such as "user" and "task" is a static named range of 5000 cells. This spreadsheet will hold one week's worth of my coworkers' work. This past week they have processed about 2500 items. To be safe, I doubled this number to determine the static named range size.
For each worker I have 56 columns (one for each possible task which a coworker can process).
So for each coworker, there will be 14 * 56 = 784 Array Formulas.
Currently my spreadsheet only has a single coworker defined, so I only have 784 Array Formulas, but it takes 35 seconds at 100% CPU Utilization when I press F9 (Calculate all formulas). Right now, I am running this on my Home PC (a 400 MHz PII PC with 256 Megs of RAM, OS is Win2000 at SP4 maint level and Excel 2002), but it is equally slow at work (1.7 GHz Celeron with 256 MB of RAM running Win2K SP4 and Excel 2K).
I haven't tested yet, but even if I assume a linear progression, with 39 coworkers I am thinking it is possible the amount of time for Excel to recalculate all the formulas will be 39 times longer than it is currently. This will be close to 22 minutes. That is a long time to wait! It will be even worse if my testing shows the amount of time Excel takes to evaluate the array formulas is exponential instead of linear...
...784*39 = 30,576 formulas...
I am having little luck creating an array to work with 3 critieria. Here is what I am trying to do: In the attached spreadsheet I am trying to show a total for each "Global Process" based on if "Reason Cancelled" and a date greater than or equal to March 1st, 2006. Here is what I currently have for the array formula: note: this is an Excel formula not VBA. I couldnt find the right code
=SUM(( 'Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$D$2:$D114="Fulfillment")*('Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$I$2:$I$150="Other")*('Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$H$2:$H114>="2006-03-01 00:00:00"))
Does anyone know how to activate a block of different array formulas at once??
Example:
N7:Q80 has a total of 296 Array Cells. Each has a unique formula & I cannot just drag to fill these nor can I activate all at once.
In the future, I don't want to have to manually activate them w/F2, CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
btw, Why do I have to press F2? Is that only in Excel 2007? I googled pretty extensively & don't see an option how to only press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. It would be nice not to have to press F2 everytime.
I would like to master the dreaded array formulas. Any Excel based accounting consolidation tool or other consolidation tool out there that I could adapt to consolidate group accounts on a monthly basis.

I've created a very large spreadsheet (4096 calculations) and I'm using array formulas for a large number of cells, which leads me to my current predicament. All the formulas are written in, but I haven't done the necessary ctrl+shift+enter after finishing all of them (there is only slight variation in each calculation so I produced them in an iterative manner) and I was wondering if there was a way besides selecting each cell individually - pressing F2 - Then pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to make all my formulas array formulas.
View 5 Replies View Related I am trying to calculate a matrix of array formulas that is roughly 365 x 137, or about 50,000 cells being calculated from a range of roughly 12,000 x 137. There are multiple if statements within the array formula, and then those 50,000 cells are referenced to another, but smaller matrix of array formulas (25 x 137). Each of these matrix sets is for one year, and there are three years that need calculated.
Problem: When calculating the 50,000 cells it takes roughly 2.5 hours to complete all calculations. So, for 3 years it will take roughly one work day of tying up my computer to just compile data that will then require several days of calculation/manipulation.
Question(s): Is there a way to speed this up to a reasonable amount of time (I'd even take 30 minutes at this point)? Or, is Excel simply the wrong tool to be using for this amount of data? Do I need a better machine to run these calculations? I am currently using a Dell XT3 with 2.5 Ghz i5 quad core processor.
I often see array formulas written with "extra zeroes", like this: {=SUM(IF(let=1,IF(cost>5,cost,0),0)). Yet I was taught to write the same formula without the zeros, like this: {=SUM(IF(let=1,IF(cost>5,cost))).
My question are:
1) what do the zeroes mean or do?
2) what happens if I replace one or both of the zeros with a different value, like the number one?
I have a worksheet "Expenses" with columns Month, Category, Expense, Amount. There are four categories and, obviously, 12 months.
In the workbook is another worksheet, "Totals" which lists the months across the top, and the categories down the left. Then I have array formulas in each cell, that look like this:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$2:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$2:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$2:$E$990,0),0) )
This works fine, until people start moving cells around in the Expenses sheet. Say they sort everything they've put in by month, and then they want to move July up to the top because it's the start of our fiscal year. So say they have six expenses for July and they cut and insert them in at B2. Suddenly the formula now says:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$8:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$8:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$8:$E$990,0),0) )
I thought by using absolute cell references instead of relative ones, I could avoid this problem, but that's apparently not the case. I tried changing the cell references in the formulas to relative ones but it still happens then too.
I have a couple of array formulas that were expertly suggested on this very forum. They function spectacularly, but now I need to incorporate them into my code.
The catch is that I am not sure yet if I will a WorksheetFunction solution, or more the likes of the actual "live" formula, e.g., "=SUM(A:Z)"
In either case, I am not sure what the equivalent of CSE is in VBA, or whether the braces/curly brackets can be manually inserted in the live formula.
I successfully built a multi- cell array that sorts a bunch names into ascending order. But now when I need to use the same array formula again, I get the wrong results in the array formula cells and I can't figure out how I'm entering the array incorrectly. The error I get in each of the 7 cells is the identical number, "1".
Here's the deal. Cells B10 - B16 contain names and numbers that I need sorted in ascending order. Then, I highlight cells C10 - C16 and enter the following formula using shift-ctrl-enter: ...
I have an Excel file that has a certain amount of Array Formulas. It takes 30 seconds to calculate every time the user makes a change. Some users do not have the Status Bar showing, and they think that Excel is "locked up". I want to make a user form that will appear when the Stats Bar is "Calculating..." There are a lot of "progress indicator" tutorials on this site, but they all seem to relate to VBA code being inserted in between certain lines. That doesn't apply. My Excel file has no VBA. It just takes a long time to recalculate. I want a VBA form to appear, that will match the % progress shown on the Status Bar, whenever a change is made to the spreadsheet.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for ideas on how to speed-up one workbook. I have a spreadsheet with hundreds of lookup formulas and array formulas which are very slow to recalculate (takes around 5 min). Good thing about it is that these formulas are located in a specific range and that I need to run them only once a day (in the morning). Since I need to refresh the rest of the spreadsheet frequently, I am looking for an idea on how to isolate this resource heavy areas.
One solution I've been thinking about is moving these complex and slow formulas to VBA and run them only when needed. Can anybody assist me with the best and easiest way of doing this. Ideally I would want to leave option to the user to later edit this formula. Does anybody have any experience with weather it is best to migrate complete formulas to VBA or maybe leave formulas in the spreadsheet and run them based on predefined flag (that I can switch on or off from the code)?

I've been beating my head against the wall on for two weeks now.
I'm calculating CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of an investment using
the following formula:
=((GEOMEAN(IF(Work!$A9:$A236<B2,Work!$DS$9:$DS$236))^12-1)*100)
A Column: Dates
D Column: Monthly returns in multiplier format
I want to do the same thing as this with GSD using this basic formula --
that is, only do the returns based on the IF statement:
=(EXP(STDEV(LN(Work!B9:B236)))^SQRT(12)-1)*100
And Sharpe with this formula:
=(AVERAGE(B49:B276)/STDEV(B49:B276))*SQRT(12)
Any help you can offer will certainly save me a ton of pain -- head's

I am really struggling with the following formula:
MATCH(MIN(ABS(Ann_TaylorRegularBust-B4)),ABS(Ann_TaylorRegularBust-B4),0)
I am trying to find the cell in the named row "Ann_TaylorRegularBust" that is closest to the input bust size in cell B4. This formula works when I use actual range instead of the named array.
I'm trying to enter a series of formulas referencing the first cell of each row.

While this code works for the first formula, the following 4 are arrays, and for some reason, will only reference the first A40 cell.
if anyone know if there is a formula that can separate a name which sometimes have two words or one or two space. For example a formula that can separate a name by first space in one column and the second half in the second column.
example: David T Blain
name is in column A,
column B is David T
column C is Blain.
I don't think this is possible with a formula, but if you think it is let me know.
I think it would be more efficient to do this with a macro, could you please see if you could provide a macro that can do this.
