Calculation Based On Name In Cell Text
Jan 23, 2008
I'm trying to create an if statement to check to see if a cell has a value in it and return a math function. My problem is that some of the values contain more that just the name searched for. This is a basic example
A B C
10 Williams DXT if(B1="Williams",A1*.8,if(B1="Johnson",A1*.85,1))
20 Williams DPX if(B2="Williams",A2*.8,if(B1="Johnson",A2*.85,1))
30 Johnson AMV if(B3="Williams",A3*.8,if(B1="Johnson",A3*.85,1))
40 Johnson ACS if(B4="Williams",A4*.8,if(B1="Johnson",A4*.85,1))
50 Smith TWN if(B5="Williams",A5*.8,if(B1="Johnson",A5*.85,1))

I need an excel function for this...
Say,
Cell A2= 8
Cell A3= 1
If A2 < (9*A3), then Cell A4 will say "Plastic", otherwise it will look to the next function, which is If A2 < (10*A3), then A4 will say "Compact", otherwise, it will look to the next one which is If A2 < (15*A3), then A4 will say "Semi-Compact" otherwise If A2> (15*A2), it'll say "Slender". so at the end, Cell A4 can only be one of these: 'Plastic' or 'Compact' or 'Semi-compact' or 'Slender'. How can i combine all the functions together?

I tried all those search and have no idea what to look for, sorry.
I have attached a single sheet with Footpath Budget for you to see.
In J6, we put in Y or N for Yes or No if there's a nature strip along the footpath.
Now, in cell G49 gives us the total square meters of nature strip.
What I want to do is if I put N in cell J6, cell G49 should be empty or zero because N means there's no nature strip. But if I put Y in J6, then cell G49 can give us total squares from cell C43.
So what formulas can I put in cell G49?

I would like to have a cell in which there is descriptive text and the results of a calculation. For example, in row 2, I want to state the current total number of items in inventory at the top of the sheet in the center of the used cells.
Inventory Total is: SUM(A4:A64,000) as of: Date()
I can't merge cells or manipulate the text in such a way to neatly bring the text and calculation together. And there are actually 2 calculations in the example above. One to SUM the items and one to add the date.

I have a spreadsheet spread over with dates in column A from September to December and I have a fuel rebate column as well. The fuel rebate is different for each month and is calculated as a certain amount of cents per dollar added to the total amount in Column B
September: 26c
October: 13.5c
November: 43c
December: 66c
e.g. If there is an invoice for 10/9/07 (september) for $100, then the fuel rebate would be $100*.26 which equals $26 fuel rebate. I want to calculate column B (this is the column with the dollar amount in it), but I want the calculation to be different depending on what date is in column A, so if in column A the dated month is October, then the calculation would be something like B2*0.135. give me the calculation I am certain you don't need VBA for this right (just nested IF statements?)

I have a cell A1 in sheet2 linked cell A1 in sheet1 (simply A1='sheet1'!A1). A1 in sheet1 is a data validation drop down menu.
I want to clear the content of A2 in sheet 2 everytime the content of A1 in sheet2 changes/is updated. That is everytime the value of A1 in sheet1 is changed using the drop down menu.
I tried using a Worksheet_Change event macro (which I do not fully understand) but it won't work with a cell that updates from a calculation. It also doesn't work if triggered from a cell from another worksheet (I tried linking it to cell A1 on sheet1 in this case).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Range("A2").ClearContents
End Sub
Any simple solution to clear the content of cell A2 in sheet2 when A1 in sheet2 updates?

I'm quite a novice at Excel. I have a column of values that I sum as follows;
A
0
0
0
0
0
0 <----------------sum of A1:A5
A formula may change one of the values in the above column to a '1' which means the sum will become '1'. The sum can only be '1' or '0' and only one value in the column will ever change. I need to add a value of 2 to another cell (say, C1) when the sum of A1:A5 changes from a value of '0' to '1'. I know this will probably involve the worksheet change event but am having a problem implementing it.

I require calculating difference between two columns. (Actual and Estimated).
Difference between these two numbers are calculated in third column, but it is reset every time actual number is non-zero.
Scenario:-
-Estimated Numbers are always followed by an actual number.
-After actual number is obtained, estimated numbers till that date will be added and deducted from actual number.
-After this, again estimated number will be added till next actual number is obtained for deduction.
If estimated number is not followed by actual number, then no need for difference calculation.

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.

I have been working on this worksheet part of which is attached herewith. I would like excel to automatically enter Updated/Inserted in column B against Individuals' names as per the instructions given in column A. For example: As per instruction in A9, B13:B16 should show Updated. I have tried to use the nested if function, but it does not work as I want it to. Also as I am not used to macros or VBA codes, could this problem be solved with formulas?

I need a formula that I can place in, lets say, Cell A1 that will reference Cells B1, B2, B3 and C1, C2, C3. These all have numbers & %'s in them. However, I want to "weight" the B cells by the percentages in C cells. The problem I am having is that when I change the %'s nothing is changing in the output...almost like I was doing nothing but averaging B1:B3 without the % to adjust.
This is how I envision it, but my calculation may be wrong of course :
A1 = average(sum(B1,B2,B3)*C1, sum(B1,B2,B3)*C2, sum(B1,B2,B3)*C3)
The Goal:
This would allow me to change the output depending on the percentage. So if I am looking at days to an appointment and the B cells represent areas of a city: B1 = 10, B2 = 5, B3 = 2 the average would be 5.6, however, I know that B1 city has more "weight" to it with our customer base so I want B1 to be closer to what will show as days out (which is obviously important as 10 days is not good). So I would assign C1 = 60%, C2 = 30%, C3 = 10%. This should pull the average more to 7 or 8 as it would lean more towards the B1 value. I hope this makes sense.
I did try going more of a route where I did something like =average(B1*C1,B2*C2,B3*C3) but that lowered all the original values instead and averaged them instead of pushing the number more towards the higher weighted % of B1 cell value. I can send an example spreadsheet if I am losing anyone.

Im trying to access data from 2 different cells (say A1, B1), its for calculating transformer hotspots. The cooling method of the transformer is naturaly air cooled oil.. until the winding temp reaches 75C ( I have winding temp data laid out on a column) then the fans come on and some constants in the formula change (need to read from the other cell, say B1) so it switches, but the fans stay on UNTIL the winding temp is 50C and then go off, so the characteristics change back to the previous one, so I need to switch back. How do I go about doing this... my current method starts working when it reaches 50 instead of waiting the temp to go to 75 then fall to 50 then do it... im a bit confused.. maybe i shouldnt be doing this on excel... ow well

I'm trying to calculate a price for any given mileage. The pricing strategy is as follows:
For any journey 2 miles or less, the price is £9
For any journey between 2 or 3 miles, the price is £10
For any journey above 3 miles, the price is £10 for the first 3 miles plus £2 for every additional mile.
So, for example, the price of a 1.5 mile journey is £9 and the price of a 3.5 mile journey is £11.

I am trying to make a calculation using variable text.
My outcome cell is D3 and my two variable cells are C3 and F3. In C3 I want to be able to insert a staff members name, of which we have 6 different members of staff. In F3 i need to insert the week number which runs 1 through 6. The outcome is the individuals place on the week roster which needs to be a number between 1-6 inclusive. SO basically if F3=1 & D3=J.SMITH then I need D3 to equal 1 keepng in mind that if F3 & D3 have 6 possible variables.

I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)
When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.
I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.
i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.

I have 2 worksheets with data. One of them is a bench mark template or expected times to complete devices based on batch size and product. The other worksheet is a report generated that shows the actual time techs worked on batches of equipment by product type. I am trying to automate a report that I will need to run every week. I have most of it automated but need some calculations. I want to calculated the expected time to complete the work, based on the data provided in the benchmark worksheet.
I do not want to use an average, and I want to use the expected time of completion based on batch size and product relative to the tech report. Column T is highlighted and where I want this formula to be entered. So if the Total Batch items is 1, then the expected calculation uses that time relative to the product and then multiplies that number to the batch size. Or if the batch size is 3, then it uses the time relative to a batch size of 3 and then multiplies that number by the batch size on the tech report and is entered in the highlighted column.

I have the following spreadsheet as an example:

C
D
E
F
G
H
1
Article/hours
10
27
33
15
33
40
40
[Code] ........
Column A contains codes for certain work activities.Row 1, from Column B and beyond contains number of worked hours.The matrix is populated with letter "D" to mark activity for particular work code for particular amount of worked hours.
My goal is to have a formula/script that analyzes this matrix, and returns a total amount of worked hours per work code. In other words, if a cell contains the letter "D", the amount of hours in Row1 for that particular column should be added to the total amount for that particular code, let's say code "501" as an example. For this example, the result should be a cell, lets say "A8", that contains the total amount of hours spent on code 501: in this example - 213 hours.

i have a sheet which has name of students (A2:A10), B1:E1 has project name. and the projects are catagorised by color red=high,green=medium, yello=low. i have given weightage to these color red=80%, green=50%, yello=20%.
similarly the involvment of the students in each project is shown by these three color in respective cell. like B2 is red, C2 is red,D2 is blank, E2 is green. (the weightage is same as above). in column F i want the total utilisation of each student, which is simply sum of product of weightage given to these colors.
e.g.
project 1project 2project 3project 4utilisationsam1.38joe0.54nick0.72
what i want is to calculate this utilisation number, but i want my sheet to be shown in the same color format.
i am sure that there is some solution for this.

I have been trying to put this together but am confused since I am new and this seems complex to me.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
IE.
$F6 = 100
If $I6 is >1 AND $I7 is = 1 AND $I8 is =1 AND $I9 is =1 then $J6 =$F6
If $I6 is >1 AND $I7 >1 AND $I8 is =1 AND $I9 is =1 then $J6 =.5*$F6
If $I6 is >1 AND $I7 >1 AND $I8 >1 AND $I9 is =1 then $J6 =.33*$F6
If $I6 is >1 AND $I7 >1 AND $I8 >1 AND $I9 >1 then $J6 =.25*$F6
I am trying to divide a dollar amount equally between "Officers" if they were part of a transaction. By selecting the officers it would divide the total amount equally.
Is this even possible?

I have 5 cells with drop down validation lists for the different types of window that we offer. From this list I will select the options and then input some dimensions in cell dimension fields. I then have a cell that gathers the text string from the 5 drop down cells.
My aim is to be able to calculate glass sizes from the text string and the dimensions. Each of the possible text strings will require different calculations and will define the sizes that I need to order. I know the equations that I will need for each of the options but cannot think of how to make them dependable on the text string cell.
I am looking for some way of using IF function to say if the text string returns as certain text then there is a certain calculation to calculate from the dimensions for the glass sizes that I need. I dont know if I've explained it too well nor even if its possible but if it is possible I will find a way as I have done some pretty exceiting things with excel in the past.

in cell A1 the user will select from a drop down list 5.50, 11,22, 33, 55. in cell B1 user selects from the drop down list a number 1 - 9. now in cell c1 I wont it to do some calculation based on the selections.
If b1=3, then A1*.20, if B1=2, then A1*.30, If B1=1, then A1*.50 and if B1 is greater then 3, post 0, if B1 is empty, then leave c1 empty.

I have the the following spreadsheet: [URL] My formula in Columns A to E is the following:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Query1_2[@Branch],Master!A:J,10,FALSE)),"Branch Not Open",VLOOKUP(Query1_2[@Branch],Master!A:J,10,FALSE))
I would like to do the following in Column A: If the date in Column C is greater than today, then Column A must also say "Branch Not Open". I have tried the following:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Query1_2[@Branch],Master!A:J,10,FALSE)),"Branch Not Open",VLOOKUP(Query1_2[@Branch],Master!A:J,10,FALSE)),IF(C:C<=TODAY,"Branch Not Open, IF(AND(C:C=>TODAY,VLOOKUP(Query1_2[@Branch],Master!A:I,9,FALSE)))
But Excel does not like the formula at all.

If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F"
and also t = time()

I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.
I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.
It would basically say :
If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).

I don't need ROW 10, 11, 12 separately if that is easier ...I am interested in getting the ROW 13 basically.
