Is there a way in Excel/VBA to calculate the width of a text string (in points or inches) with a specific font/font size/font attributes? Right now I have to use a static character count which assumes worst- case character widths for the font (Arial 8 point) but leaves unused whitespace to the right when the text string uses narrow characters.
View 6 RepliesHi there, is it possible to calculate the Arc width by only having the Arc Length and Rise?
Rise is the height of arc
Arc length = 1525
rise = 230
width = ?
I am trying to found or create a formula that will display cell width to the decimal place.
I can use the formula Cell("width"), but it rounds to the nearest integer. I need to display the decimals. For instance, if the actual column width is 8.43, the Cell("Width") formula will display 8. I need it to show 8.43.
Something has X views, 10,000 for this example. I want:
1) The first 100 views to be worth 3 points each (=300 points)
2) The second 100 views to be worth 2 points each (=200 points)
3) The third 100 views to be worth 1 point each (=100 points)
4) Any view therafter to be worth 0.75 of a point (in this case, 9,700 views times 0.75 = 7,275) points.
How would I create a formula like that (without having to actually divide up the views into four groups and do the separate calculations?)
I am trying to calculate the duration between two times on different days.
For example - I want to know the number of days/hours/minutes/seconds between 25th Feb 2009 20:00 & 27th Feb 2009 22:00.
I am sure that the key is how I enter the data into the cells and how those cells are formatted, I just cannot get Excel to see that the times are on different days. At the moment my data is in a raw format with times in one column and dates in another.
I am updating a sports competition ladder. There are two aspects to compiling the table I would like to automate but have been unable to find out how via the excel documentation.
The aspects are.
1. When a team loses by a margin of seven points or less below the total points scored by the winning team then the team is awarded a single "1" bonus point that contributes to their overall competition points tally.
2. When a team scores four tries or more they are likewise awarded a bonus point.
I require formulas that will automatically calculate the bonus points into a cell.
Situation One
cell 1 = Points For (eg. 17)
Cell 2 = Points Against (eg. 24).
In this instance the team did not win. They scored 17 points and the winning team scored 24 points. Therefore the team lost but lost by seven points and is therefore entitled to one (1) bonus point.
SOLUTION NEEDED - I need a formula that will calculate whether cell 2 is seven or less than cell 1, and if so automatically place a total of "1" in cell 3.
Situation 2
Cell 1 = Tries Scored (eg. 5)
In this instance the team has scored five tries. They have scored more than four tries or more and is therefore entitled to one (1) bonus point.
SOLUTION NEEDED - I need a formula that will scan the number in cell 1. If this number is 4 or more, then a total of "1" should be automatically placed in Cell 2.
I have looked into the excel help but to no avail and the search terms are so broad it was a nightmare trying to search the forums.
I'm creating an (English) football predictions competition for me and my family.
One problem that has stumped me is how to get the scores based on the 'home' & 'away' score predictions.
The rules are: If I predict the correct exact result I get 3 points. I want to add another 'rule' whereby if I predict the correct winner, I get 1 point. Incorrect predictions get 0 points. I don't know how to do this using a formula.
I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?
I am having a problem importing fixed width text files with VBA. I created a user form for a dept to import a number of reports we get as text files into Excel. I imported each line into 1 cell (Column A) in Excel and then used mid functions to split out the columns. Everything works fine on my PC. However, when I use other PCs to import the same files (either off the same shared drive or the PC hard drive) the columns are not splitting in the correct places. Does anybody know what could cause this. Since the columns are splitting based off a fixed number of characters, I'm assuming Excel is somehow distorting a character count while opening the text file. I did notice that if I try to import text files saved on one of our shared drives, they do not import correctly on my PC either. However, if I copy and save the same text file to any of the other shared drives or my PC, it imports with no problems.

I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column:
000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result:
0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows:

I have 2 columns (A and B) of text, A and B that needs to be turned into numbers in column C. The text in column A can also occur in column B and vice verse. There can also be 2 or 3 values in column B, there is no "," to separate the values only spaces. Every text name has a value (they are explained in the file but not included in original files). If there is text in both columns it has to add the value for each text. I need to get column C calculated by using VBA. Column C is empty from the start and the rows can be +500.
In the file the result is applied manually.
trying to calculate a text as value in a formula.
In cell A5 (please see the excel attached) I have a weighted formula that is supoosed to return a final result based on the drop down from cells B5 to V5. Drop downs give the option of choosing a value. Everything is going fine as long as you select a value (5, 3 or 0).
In cells H5, J5, K5, R5, S5, U5 there is also the option of choosing NA. I am trying to get the formula to calculate NA as being equal to 5. Basically, if for the respective parameter someone choses NA, the final result in cell A5 should not be influenced.
If all the parameters are 5 and only one has NA (any of the cells H5, J5, K5, R5, S5, U5), the final result (in cell A5) should be 100.
The same applies if all parameters are 5 & more than one cell or all the cells that have the NA options (H5, J5, K5, R5, S5, U5) are NA.

a 400
b 600
c 300
d 300
If core value = a then new price should be current *2%, if core value=b, then new price should be current price times 2.2%, if core value = c than new price should be current price times 2.5% and if core value=d, than new price should be current price times 3%?
also would i be able to do a formula if core value is either a or b, than new price should be current price times 2% and if core value is = to c or d, than new price should be current price *3%?

A5 = Hi
A6 = Hello
A7 =
A8 = Hi
A9 = Hello
A10 = Bye

View 2 Replies View RelatedEssentially the user will enter their responses from a drop down list (assigned to about 30 textboxes in the userform: named txt1code, txt2code, txt3code....txt30code) and at the bottom of the userform the number of responses ('Yes') will be counted in real time and displayed in a textbox. (without using a command button)
For example:
The possible responses in the textboxes are 'Yes', 'No', 'Not Applicable', ''.
Yes = 1
I'd like the calculation to ignore No's, Not Applicables and ; however, count all the 'Yes' responses.
If there are 17 'Yes' responses, 10 'No', 2 'blanks', and 1 'NA' in the form, the Totals textbox will display '17'. As the user is entering information-"Yes" responses only (added or deleted), he or she can visually validate that the number of 'Yes' responses has changed.
Is a real-time calculation possible in a userform?
