When i copy the formulas below in an excell sheet i have made the references absolute, but i want the sheet name to change as i move through each sheet in the workbook (if it is greater than sheet3)
The column of formulas needs to insert a new column and add formulas to it in the next location. Ie (B4:B16 to C4:C16). B4 Being the heading/sheet name.
I have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.

I am working in an excel file with many sheets. I have vlookups on several pages that refer to a different page in my file. However, I am finding that the vlookups are not autocalculating. They are fixed on a value until I click into the cell and hit 'enter'

In the sample sheet attached, I have times in column E, and an action describing what has happened in column G. What I want to do is calculate the length of time between an opening action and closing one, but don't know how to go about it, as there can be an empty cell(and sometimes more) between each open and close.
Using Microsoft Excel 2007 and all of a sudden, my spreadsheets are not automatically calculating the formulas. It does not matter if I have other workbooks open or not. I still get the problem. It does not happen 100% of the time to make it even more complicated.
- Calulation set to auto in Excel Options.
- No VBA functions being used. I can the worksheet summing 1 + 1 and get the error periodically. It does not have to do with the spreadsheet being too complicated.
- Even if I can hit Ctrl-Alt-F9 to force the formulas to calculate, it won't work.
I am trying to get the formula for calculating yearly rental imcome. The range is 10 years and the interest is 34%. The first year payment is 42,000 and the 10th year payment is 56,000. I can't figure out how to do the other years. The principal is 325,000 and the sale value is 425,000.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to dynamically build a formula for calculating a running percentage for a row of data. The columns that are referenced by the formulas are static (f thru r), but the row number can change depending the number of rows of data. I have a set of data that can have one to many lines in it (the data is placed on the worksheet using vba code). After the data is placed, a total line is built using this
'Find row number for total row (2 rows down from last row of data)
endrow = Range("a35").End(xlDown).Row

I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
I have a cell that shows the PENDING time from a future event date/time vs Today
eg.
Cell L4 shows the future date/time as 2/2/2013 09:40:00
Cell AM9 shows the current date/time as 02/02/13 09:36:01
Cell N2 contains =IF((L4-AM9)>0,(L4-AM9),"CLOSED")
which either shows the time before expiry as hh:mm:ss or closed
There is another cell (say O2) which is a link to another workbook which either shows NO or YES
What I want to do is to populate another cell with the DELAYED TIME between when cell N2 changes to CLOSED and when cell O2 changes to YES
But I only want to to populate this cell once, at the moment it keeps being updated from Today

I have the following on a spreadsheet that keeps track of when student work is handed in and calculates how many days late it is so a penalty mark can be given.
A1= User entered value : a fixed submission date that a piece of work is due to be handed in on.
A2 = User entered value : The date entered if work is handed in on time or early
A3 = User entered value : The date the work was handed in if late
A4 = User entered value : The date the piece of work is due to be handed in if an extension has been granted
A5 = Calculated value : How many days late a piece of work is
Essentially I want the calculation in A5 to reflect how many days late a piece of work is. SUM(A3-A1) would do this of course. If the work is early or on time, A2 is ignored.
Sometimes however students have permission to hand work in late, in which case another calculation is needed to work out how many (if any) days over their extension date (A4) their work is. How do I combine these two calculations into the same cell, so that if A3 is empty it checks A4 to see if the student has an extension date and then returns a 'days late' value if applicable?
OK I have included the spreadsheet I am working with and I will try really hard to explain exactly what i want and where my problems lie, so please bear with me.
The work book is separated by months. The individual spreadsheets can have multiple entries in each cell, I have a code running to automatically pop up a comment text box for each entry into that cell to separate each occurrence.
Now I have a separate sheet that will be showing how many times each item has a "hit" or occurrence for the entire month. That's where I have the problem. I don't want to go and count every time i made an entry, excel should do that. The problem I am coming up with is that I can only get it to calculate the one occurrence per cell which does me no good if there were three separate occurrences in that cell.
I am trying to find a way to average all the numbers placed in one cell with the answer in another.
So in cell A1
1, 2, 3, 2 or 1-2-3-2
In cell A2 would be 2. But the amount of numbers in A1 will vary from time to time.
I'd like excel to calculate 3 totals for me based on the colour and value on a worksheet.
Basically, I work for various people and they pay at different rates per hour.
I currently have a spreadsheet with their names, times, and rates (see attached for example), but I calculate the amounts paid and due manually.
If possible I would now like excel to do it.
To explain further, 'J' gives me $10 per hour, and 'V' gives me $5 per hour.
Cells shown in red show work done but not paid for.
Cells shown in green show work done and paid for.
I'd like excel to automatically create totals as shown on the spreadsheet, namely:
Total due: xxxx
Total paid: xxxx
Total outstanding: xxxx
At any time during the month I can be asked to take on more work - I would then enter the code into the spreadsheet for the hours requested...and I'd like the totals to be update automatically.
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am calculating blood sugars for my daughter and putting them in a spreadsheet. The formula is simple:
Blood sugar - target blood sugar / 20 which yields the amount of insulin that she needs to take. I want this cell to be blank unless I enter a value in the cell above it.
Next, I take the value from that formula and add it to the amount of insulin that she takes for eating.
The value in the top formula can be 0 or less, but, if the value in the bottom one is less than 0, I want the cell to be blank.
I'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?
I have a daily report that gives a percentage based on what is typed into the "Supplier" and "Total Sales" columns but I'm having trouble writing the following formulas since my excel knowledge is relatively low.
1. Where a cell in the "Supplier" column says anything but "Den", "Burrowed" or "Studio Nyx" I need the "60%" and "40%" columns filled with the relevant formula (=B11*60% for example) and the "100%" column blank.
2. Additionally, if the cell contains "Den", "Burrowed" or "Studio Nyx" I need the "100%" column filled and the "60%" and "40%" blank.
I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

So i was asked to do a spreadsheet for "counting" electrical items from a project. For instance, quantity of cables, cable trays, electrical equipment, etc.
One of the sheets is called "Cables" and is structured in a database form, i mean, the first row contains the name of the columns (fields) and from the second row will be the records (much like a table in Excel).
One of this columns has to be calculated, for example, Qty (B3) * Measured (C3) = Subtotal (D3). If i put the formula in the whole column filling D:D the size of the excel file grows up to 10 mbs. So to keep the size small, I want Excel to introduce this formula only if it can find a value in Qty (B3).
Is liking adding records in Access, the table should grow with each row completed. We cannot use access, it has to be something the team can handle (they know a bit of Word and Excel, nothing else).

I am trying to clean up a databse and I was wondering if anyone knew of an answer to this:- In Cell C,17 I have this function, ROUNDDOWN(A17/$C$8,0), and in the cell next to it I have ROUNDDOWN(C17/3,0)*3. As you can see, I need the result of C17 to make the other formula work, but I want to have the function as one formula. I am having trouble in writing the formula for the function to work. It should go something like ROUNDDOWN(A17/C8,0)/3(*3) but so far I have not had any lick in achieving a result.

I'm working on a project whereby ranges of values are "scored".
The current layout shows ranges of within cells, and a hidden row with single values for the formulas to utilize. This means that whenever ranges are adjusted, the singles values also have to be changed.
I've attached a portion of the spreadsheet as an example.
Is there a relatively simple way to have the formula recognize the ranges as values and "score" accordingly?
If there is, can this be used for both ascending and descending ranges?
I should add that the ranges are not always percentages.
I am looking at combining 2 formulas and have them in a single cell. Currently I am using this one =IFERROR(IF(S3-V3=0,"Completed within agreed time!",S3-V3),"") if the value =0 but need another one if there's no value in V3 it would say "Outstanding" I have tried to add IFBLANK to the existing formula but I must be doing something wrong as it doesn't work.
