Calculate To Percentage Reached, Then Start Over


I have a column that is a percentage(p%) which measures the fullness of the location(loc) that the item(ite) is in, which also has a corresponding location(loc) and item column(ite).

What I need to do is add as many items(ite) to one location(loc) as possible without exceeding 100%(p%), however if the value exceeds 100%(p%) then we need to start all over in a new location. The end result would be an unknown amount of unused locations.

If p% < 100 then add the next row's p% value, else start over with a new location. I am trying to add as many items to one location as possible, and once a location fills up, we will use the next one.

Display Popup When Percentage Difference Reached
I have an excel file that linked to an external feed that receives stock prices in real time. on the file i have the stock name, the price paid and the current price. I would like to have a popup that shows up whenever a stock price has a 15% or higher return. I would like the popup to show the stock name. I realise that conditional formatting would highlight whatever is over 15%, but the workbook has multiple worksheets and I would like it to popup even when i am on another worksheet. enclosed is a copy of the file (the actual file has many more sheets)

Formula- To Calculate The Amount Due Based On Cumulative Sales Once A Breakpoint Amount Is Reached
I need a formula to calculate the amount due based on cumulative sales once a breakpoint amount is reached.

Example:

Breakpoint:
cum sales are > 500 pay at 3%
cum sales are >1,000 pay at 2%

month/ sales/ cumul sales/ amount due
jan/ 100.00/ 100.00/ 0
feb/ 600.00/ 700.00/ 6.00
mar/ 600.00/ 1,300.00/ 18.00

and so on...until the end of year.

I tried using an if formula by could not get it to work.

Calculate The Percentage
I have attached a file with both a sample section of data on the first sheet and the outcome I would like on the second sheet... I would do it all manually but there are over 200,000 rows in the actual file.

The macro needs to calculate the percentage of sale for each reference number within each part number and move down to the next part number and do the same until it reaches the bottom.

Automatically Calculate The Percentage
code needed to be able to automatically calculate the percentage needed from one year to the next. I simply need it to automatically create a third column each time the copy old data button is pressed, and I need the column to have the percent increase ((current year - past year)/current year). Hopefully you can understand what I am aiming for. I have the current code below, and I will attach a compressed and stripped version of my workbook.

Formula Calculate The Percentage
I have a row of numbers from 1 to 26 in cells A1 to Z1 representing numbers
'chosen' at random by 500 unique people.

I have another row of numbers representing the 'frequency' that the
aforementioned number was chosen in cells A2 to Z2.

Example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
10 4 16 9 23 20 61 13 18 43 17 ...

Is there a formula that I could use to calculate the percentage (0%-100%)
that each number was chosen?

Calculate Weighted Percentage
In my spreadsheet (testing.xls) I have a chart to mark the quality of a phone call based on a list of 8elements being judged. I have a likert scale for the quality result for each element, say for example 5 for highest, 3 for average, 1 for the poor, 0 for very poor and NA for an element which is not counted.

At the bottom of my table I have a cell where it would work out the % based on the outcome of the result from the different cells being ticked, what would i need to do to have excel work this out for me? Please bare in mind that if there is for example 1 element out of the 8 elements marked as NA the result would be divided 7 instead of 8.

Extract And Calculate Percentage (%)
In the attched sheet, I am wanting to draw data from the worksheet "On-Off" Array $AI$14:$AJ$91 into column AA, while at the same time choosing the closest match to the time. I have managed to get the closest matching time into column AC.

What I am having trouble with is now calculating the number of staff on that break time (column Z) against the number of staff rostered on at that stage "On-Off" (column AJ). I thought it would be a simple division and format as a percentage, however something in it using the extract from the "On-Off" sheet is stopping me, and I cannot figure it out.

Calculate Percentage Of Attendances
What I have is four columns with data. First column name second column number third column name fourth a number. Trying to get the total of the numbers for the names. So the first and third columns have names in them and they can be in each column or just once in either. I need to get a total column with all the unique names and then their corresponding number (added together if they are in both columns) to display the name and total. The names could be duplicated in each column as we (hopefully) have a lot of the same people coming week in week out.

What it is being used for is a two week and four week revolving attendance. I have a daily sheet one that I am using data filter unique values and then a countif to show me their attendance for the week. Putting it into a totals page sheet with week 1 week 2 etc.

So looking for a way to get all the unique names and their corrorsponding cell value added together to show the persons attendance for two weeks and then the month.

Calculate Numbers Required For X Percentage
what I'm trying to do.

Background:
I play a game that requires 5 members to play, however you can have more then 5 members on the team. In order for a player to receive points for playing they must have played at least 30% of the total games played. The problem for me is when trying to figure out how many games someone needs to play to get to 30%, the total goes up as they play those games.

What I would like to accomplish:
I'm looking for help on a formula that would figure out how many games a player would need to play to get to 30%. I have a column that is total games played, %of games played by player, games played by player, and games needed to play to get to 30%. Basically the user would enter the # of games played by each player, and the total games played overall for the team for that week, the spreadsheet would then show the # of games each player that isn't above 30% would need to play.

I tried to make the question as clear as possible, if anyone needs clarification,

Multiple Drop Down Menu To Calculate A Percentage

NA - Not Applicable
0 - Not attempted

In cells later on I'd like to make a formula that takes those 'hidden numbers' into account and works out an average. So 'hidden number' / 'potential total' and make the cell display as a percentage, the 'potential total would have to take into consideration that a value has been set, but not use that value, and times the number of values set by three.

Percentage Of Cells That Start With X If Corresponding Cells Have Data
I need to calculate the percentage of cells in one column that have data in them compared to those that do not. This is easy enough to do by itself but here's where it gets tricky for me. I need this percentage calculated only when cells in a different column contain data.

Here's the specifics. All of the row and column references are exactly what I'm looking to have in my worksheet. If A5:A200 contain any value then I want to know the % of the cells in F5:F200 that have a value in them compared to the same number in F5:F200 that contain no value. I would like the answer to show up in B2.

Part of the issue is that cells A5:A200 already have a formula in them so I think that would count as a value. The one thing that might help is the fact that A5:A200 values that I'm looking for ALWAYS start with TN so that could be used as the search function. The reason why I need to base it on a value in A5:A200 is that the sheet is blank until I enter data in the rows. I can't have the blank rows below the last data that I've entered on the sheet count towards the percentage that I'm looking for.

Basically it's a sheet that I enter installations and service calls on. The information always has a TN# associated with it. Which through a formula is automatically populated in the same row in the A column. I track the installation or service call and when it's completed I enter a completion date in the F column in the same row.

I am trying to be able to keep track of the percentage of jobs completed (completion date entered in column F) compared to incomplete (cells in column F that have no completion date) but it has to only look at rows that actually have information entered in them which I think should be done by column A. column D5:D200 is where I enter the main information and there is no formula entered in the cells in column D so if it's easier to base it on that column then that's fine.

Calculate Future Dates From Start Date With Varying Time Period/cycle
I need to determine a formula which will allow me to calculate a future date based upon a current date with varying time periods.

For example:

I have a bill which is paid on the 15th and last business day of each month. I would like to be able to see the next due date regardless of what day of the week it is.

I have a bill which is paid every other Tuesday. I would like to know the next due date without having to enter +14 for every due date in the future. In other words, it is preferable to be able to open the spreadsheet and automatically see the next due date, not use autofill to repeatedly add +14 to a previous date which would limit the # of future due dates that could be calculated.

I have a bill which is paid on the last business day of each month, not the last Friday of each month. I would need excel to return a value for the last day of the month which = Monday-Friday, regardless of what day of the week it may be as long as it isn't Saturday or Sunday(holiday exclusion would be nice but not required).

To Calculate The Difference Between The Start Time And End Time
This may be a bit vague but here goes.

I have to calculate the difference between the start time and end time of a job. The only catch is, how can I avoid calculating "out of hours" time. So, if a job goes from 9am to 9am the next day, I want it to avoid calculating between the hours of 23:30 and 03:30.

Another example is if a job goes from 02:00 to 04:00, I want it to avoid the tim between 02:00 and 03:00.

If there is a difference in days, so the job goes overnight, how do I take that into consideration also.

Increment Until Value Is Reached
I have a value in cell P1 and is always -ve.
This value is calculated by some tedious calcualtion in some other part of the sheet.

By entering value in Cell P2, the value in cell P1 will progress towards +ve number.

What i want is a formula or Macro to increment the value in Cell P2 by 0.01
until value in Cell P1 becomes +ve...

Below is the example of my manual calculation.

When i have
P2=0 P1=-23.58
P2=0.01 P1=-14.78
P2=0.02 P1= -9.30
P2=0.03 P1= -2.92
P2=.04 P1= 1.05

Since i have achieved P1 to be positive, calculation should stop with value in P2=0.04

I have to do this for 31 column and hence manually doing it takes long time

To Sum Cells Until Preset Value Is Reached
I have a spreadsheet with time values incremented in column A.

In column K, there are numerical values that correspond to the time in column A.

Elsewhere, a specific time is chosen from which to begin the summing of the values in column K.

I need to be able to sum the values in column K until preset values are reached. Then I need to know at which corresponding time value the summing loop stops.

For example, a time of 11:00 AM is chosen as the "start time". I want to sum the values in column K until they are >= 2.000.

At that point, I need to know what the cell value was in colum A that is in the same row as the last cell value in column K.

I can't seem to do it with simple Excel functions without falling into a self referencing loop. So what I need is for a VBA loop to lookup the appropriate values in column K, sum the values, check the total, and continue the loop until the preset total is reached. Then look up the value in column A in the last row of summed values, and return that value.

Now my workaround for that was to put the header row at the top of the page as well and freeze it. This works but when you initially open the spreadsheet it look weird because you see a header row on top and one 15 rows below it.

My question is is there a way to hide row 1 until a specific cell becomes active and then the code can undide the row? I want row one to become visible when the user gets to cell A41. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this or do you have any other suggestions for me to try?

Disable A Range When A Numerical Limit Is Reached
How do I disable a range of cells when a numerical limit is reached?

Here is the scenario:

I have two worksheets, one called “Items” which contains a list of Items and their weight. The other sheet is called “Container” and displays a Type of container in cell B2, the weight capacity of that container (the numerical limit) in cell C2, and a range from B5 to B14 that needs to be filled out by an end user. The items in B2:B14 are chosen using Validation, form the Items sheet. The weight is brought in via a vLookup, and the total weight is calculated as items are added.

My problem is that I have yet to find a way to “disable” any extra cells in B5:B14 once the weight limit is reached, and clear the last cell data was selected for, all without destroying the Validation for the cells in range B5:B14.

I have tried many different things in the Worksheet Change Event, but none have yielded the desired result.
