Calculate A 30-day Moving Average Based On The Last X Number Of Entries And Date


I have a worksheet that has all weekday dates in column 1 and values in column 2. I want to create a 30-day moving average based on the last (non-zero) value in the column 2.

Since every month has a different amount of days, I want it to search the date that has the last value (since I don't get a chance to update it daily) and go back thirsty days from that date and give an average of all the column 2 values skipping and values that are null or zero.

Date Function Query (calculate The Last Day Of The Month)
I am using a formula to calculate the last day of the month, using any date of the month in a worksheet in cell A13, this cell is also linked to another worksheet to pick up a date, using the ISBLANK function to prevent a dummy date entry appearing if the field in the linked ASHBY RISE worksheet is blank
=IF(ISBLANK('ASHBY RISE'!$C$5),"",'ASHBY RISE'!$C$5)

The last day of the month function is shown below
=DATE(YEAR(A13),MONTH(A13)+1,0)

This works fine if there is a date in A13, but returns a #VALUE! error if cell A13 is blank. I have tried using the ISBLANK function, but I am still getting the #VALUE! error. Of course I may have the sysntax incorrect.

Calculate Average Based On Matching Values From Two Worksheets
Worksheet 1

I am calculating group averages for the following performers - very good, good, average, low, very low - for a series of factors.

Worksheet 2

Contains the same factors with the values for which Im trying to work out the average. Each factor has a performance rating above it, either very good, good, average, low, very low.

I need a formula which will match the performance rating from worksheet 1 (I3, J3, K3, L3, M3) to worksheet 2 and then calculate the averages of each factors based on those matches.

Convert Date To Text Day Number?
Wondering if there is a simple and concise way to convert a date into text that represents the day number?

So a cell containing “17/09/2006” simply reads as “Seventeenth”, 18/09/2006 becomes “Eighteenth” and so on...

Serial Number Date Displaying Incorrect Day?
I maintain a class register in Excel to monitor student attendance. The first row shows the date of the class in the form dd-mm.

I need to identify all dates which fall on a Monday and thought that if I custom formatted a new row as "dddd" and enter the formula =DAY(cell ref) into the cells of this new row it would achieve this- I could easily spot the Mondays for the period under review.

What I'm finding, however, is that the formula seems to incorrectly state that 16th September 2008 is a Monday whereas it's actually a Tuesday- utterly bizarre!

I can get a fix simply by modifying the =DAY() formula by adding 1 to my formula [ie =DAY(A1)+1] but am wondering is this a "so called known issue" with Excel or has anyone else come across it? I have never previously come across this and consider myself to be an above average competency level user of the application.

Update Day Of Week And Date Based On Month
I'm attempting to force excel to auto update the day of the week, and the date in a spreadsheet. The date isn't as important, since it can be hard coded. The only problem there is some months have 31 days, some 30, and another with 28. I've uploaded an image of the spreadsheet, and you can see in field A1 the date/year is input. I'm wanting to find a way to force the days/dates in fields 2E and 3E to update based on the month.

Calculate The Quarter To Date Number
I was given the formula below to calculate the quarter to date number. The months from 1/1/05 thru 12/31/07 are in cells C3-AL3.

First - can anyone explain the formula so I may understand it and possibly modify it for other uses

Second - wherever the formula has 3:3 and I copy it to the next cell below it, I have to change the 4:4 to a 3:3 - any suggestions on how to do this easily.

By the way, the formulas are in column AO, staring on row 4.

=SUM(OFFSET(A3,1,MATCH(DATE(YEAR(Date!$C$6),INT((MONTH(Date!$C$6)+2)/3)*3-2,1),3:3,0)-1,1,MATCH(Date!$C$6,3:3,0)-MATCH(DATE(YEAR(Date!$C$6),INT((MONTH(Date!$C$6)+2)/3)*3-2,1),3:3,0)+1))

The formula should give the answer to 24 months

Example 2

When I use function =(YEAR(A4)-YEAR(A3))*12+MONTH(A4)-MONTH(A3), it does not

Calculate An If Value Based On A Number Of Conditions
I am trying to create on excel order form. I want customers to be able to input the item # (a range from 1 to 12), then I want the to price to be calculated based on the item # they input.

For example. If they choose item #2 in A6 then the price in F6 will be recorded as $8.00. (the price would change for each item # they input).

the formula I started out with was:
=IF((A6=1),"$8.00")

this worked for me if A6 did in fact equal 1.
So I tried adding this equation to the formula.

=IF((A6=1),"$8.00")*OR((A6=2),"$7.00")....this would continue on. I even pressed "command return" after the statement as if I was entering an array formula.
I got the error #VALUE!

Calculate The Average Of A Group Cells In One Column Based On The Condition Of Another Column
I'm trying to figure out if there is a formula I could use that will calculate the average of a group cells in one column based on the condition of another column. It's hard to explain, so I will show an example. All the data is on a one worksheet and I'm trying to show totals and averages on another worksheet. Location, Days

17, 4
17, 3
17, 5
26, 4
26, 8
26, 10
26, 7

On a different worksheet I would want to know what the average days are for each location. So is there a formula that I could use that will look at column A for a specified location number and then average all the days in column B for that location? I'm using Excel 2003 and have tried using the Average(if) but with no success.

Calculate Workload Based On Number Of Devices
I work in IT Service company and we need to calculate our workload based on a number of devices in our scope.

Say, somebody wants to add 300 Windows Servers to our service desk. We know that each Win Server would need 1 Person on duty to manage. So ideally we would just multiply 1*300 and get the amount of people we need.

Problem is that because the service is quite similar for each of these servers, we dont really need a dedicated person for each device so I want to make every additional device consume 20% less workload than the previous one.

In our case it would be:
1 Server = 1 Person
2 Servers = 1.8 People
3 Servers ~ 2.5 People

Calculate Number Of Dates Within A Column Based On Month
I have a column say column B for example that has a list of dates in the format dd/mm/yyyy. I would like a summary at the top of the columns to state how many dates there are for the current month. But I wondered if this was possible based on the TODAY() function or similar. Thus the user would not have to change anything.

So for example at the start of the month it may state 14. Half way through the month down to 6 and at the end of the month 0 for example.

I would like to be able to change the period in that cell and have that change it in the actual function. And finally i would like to have the moving average in a chart that would also change its period once that is changed in the respective cell.

Auto-calculate Last Day For A Month
I'm working on a Calendar. One where all the user does is input the year, and the rest of the Calendar fills itself out, as to the days.

Leap year is causing a small problem. There may be an easier way to do this (actually, I'm sure there is, but anyway), is there a way for a cell to automatically figure the last day of the month?

IE: I put "2007" in a field. Another cell auto matically reads as "28" (last day of Feb for this year). Subsequently, when I enter "2008", the same field reads "29".

The rest I think I got ok, but everytime I get a leap year, it shoves all my formulas down a cell, thanks to the extra day, and they're all off by one (February calendar showing last day as "01" from March, and "29" as the first day for March, from Feb).

Calculate The Combinations Of Entries
(I am unable to use Colo’s HTML Maker to post this—I have noticed several newer members indicating the same thing).

|....| 1 | 2 | 3 |4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| A | Y | N | Y | N | Y | Y | N | N |
| B | Y | N | N | Y | Y | N | N | N |
| C | Y | Y | N | Y | N | Y | Y | N |
| D | Y | Y | Y | N | Y | Y | N | Y |

The answer to the table above is: 144 combinations (using "Y" entries only). The answer is not to do just a simple count of the entries in each row and multiply as this produces 360 combinations rather than the desired 144 combinations. In this example, combinations such as 1-1-1-1 or 5-4-4-3 would not need to be calculated, which is the reason the answer is not 360 combinations.

The table always allows for 8 x 4 cell entries.
It is possible that every cell can be selected (the answer would be 8!/4! in this instance);
At least one entry must occur in each of the first 3 rows. In this example, if row 4 was excluded the answer would be 38 combinations (3 rows);

I am looking for 2 formulae: The first one to calculate the combinations of entries in 4 rows and the second to calculate for 3 rows only.
