Can A Cell Contain Text And Perform Calculation?

Nov 17, 2009

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.

Perform Calculation Depending On Cell Value

Dec 14, 2012

I'm developing a financial spreadsheet.

I've got a cell "Taxable Income" and another cell "Tax on Taxable Income" in sheet2.

When I enter a value in "Taxable Income" I want "Tax on Taxable Income" to automatically calculate based on formulas in sheet1. I don't know how to get "Tax on Taxable Income" to determine which formula to apply from the different tax brackets.

For example:
If taxable income is <$18201, tax = $o
If taxable income is between $18201 and $37000, Tax on Taxable Income =0.19*Taxable Income
If taxable income is between $37001 and $80000, Tax on Taxable Income =3572+0.325*(Taxable Income - $37000)

The idea behind having formulas in a different sheet is so over time when tax rates/brackets change I only have to change the formulas on one sheet.

I know how to use basic AND, IF statements e.t.c but I can't seem to get the syntax right for this to work.

I am trying to do the following: I want to replace the values in A1:A3 with "0" and clear the contents of B1:B3 for all worksheets that contain "ILA" in the worksheet name. Is there a simple way to do this or another thread that already answers this question? I tried to search on the internet but found nothing useful. Here is a sample file (NOTE: there are no macros in this workbook even though it is saved as an .xlsm).

Excel 2010 :: VBA Routine To Perform Text Diff

Jul 19, 2013

I am looking to implement the "Compare Documents" function (available in Word 2010) in Excel 2010 through VBA programming between different text contained in two cells.

In Word this function works quite well (not perfectly), but it highlights in different ways which part has been deleted and which one has been added between an "original" document and a "revised" one.

For the nature of my job, I need to do this on a daily basis and I used to output text from Excel to Word, then compare the two text, and then copy it back to Excel.

Here comes the problem: since in Word the text is formatted (and what I'm looking for is formatted/highlighted text as output), I can't just paste it in Excel as it is: any editing, merging, splitting done on the pasted text (that eventually I need to do) makes the formatting disappear (above all with VBA functions, that can only output data and can't format it).

In other words: given two cells containing different text, I would like to be able to fill a third cell with text formatted accordingly to the TextDiff output between the two original cell.

E.g.:
INPUT:
Cells(1,1).Value2 = "my name is Andrea and I like jogging" (original)
Cells(1,2).Value2 = "my name is Giovanni and I like running" (revised)

OUTPUT:
Cells(1,3) wll contain: "my name is AndreaGiovanni and I like joggingrunning"

Obviously, since UDF doesn't allow formatting of cells, I would need to adjust the main Sub for each pair of document I have to revise, but that won't be the problem: what I need is the engine. It's been two years and a half that I do advanced VBA programming at work but it looks like I can't grasp the rationale behind the LCS algorithm.

VBA Macro To Select Cells With Certain Value And Perform Action On Adjacent Cell

Mar 10, 2014

Converting old reports to usable excel format. I am having trouble using VBA to set up a looping macro that would search Column A for cells with the text string: "ACTIVITY TOTAL". If cell has that value I would like to perform text to column action on the adjacent cell (R0C1). The macro recording for the test to column settings i need is :

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=ActiveCell, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=True, Other:=False, OtherChar _
:=":", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, _
1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

I have attached a sample of what I am currently working with. The actual file has roughly 6000 lines of data, so I would like the macro to go through all lines.

IF Text String Equals Certain Criteria Then Specified Calculation

Jul 9, 2009

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.

Return Text Based On Calculation Result

Dec 18, 2007

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?

Clear Cell Content Based On Another Cell Calculation

Dec 21, 2012

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?

How To Perform Double VLookup

Sep 16, 2013

I have a table of data with two rows of unqiue identifiying information. I am trying to develop a formula that will allow me to do a vlookup twice, once for each row of unique identifying information to retrive the value in same row for the third column. For example:

apple red 50
aaple blue 75
aaple yellow 80
apple green 90
grape red 12
grape blue 17
grape yellow 45
grape green 41

So, I am trying to do a lookup where I can say what is the value in the third column for apple and red. Or, what is the value in the third column for grape and green.

Perform Running Total

Feb 13, 2008

The following code works great in selecting individual cells and forming a text string with them. What I need to do is to change this slightly andi instead of just reading the cell, have the preceding value added to the current value "(Cells (e,i)" and that new runnng total value is added to the "temp" string.

The concept is 12 cells represent Jan - Dec (numbered 1-12)
I'm trying to perform a running total; where Feb(2) = (Jan(1) + Feb(2)) and Mar(3) = Feb(2) + Mar(3).....

I tried setting x to do the running total and then passing it to "temp" but I kept getting mismatch errors, or buffer overflow errors, or out of memory errors.

Is there someone who can provide some assistance with the proper way to do this? ....

Calculation With A Blank Cell?

Feb 17, 2012

I am working with a pricing worksheet using the following formula to calculate my selling price. My problem arises when I have either one of the Exchange Rate fields blank or zero. Typically one or the other Exchange Rate would be used, and I have to be sure the one not being used is set to at least 1 or I get an error. Preferably I would like the cell to be ignored if it is blank. I've tried several options but cannot get anything to work.

I'm currently using this formula where the cells have defined names (ie US_EXCHANGE) and F# is my cost.

=F8*(IF(US_EXCHANGE=0,"",US_EXCHANGE*1))*(IF(EURO_EXCHANGE=0,"",EURO_EXCHANGE*1))*MARK_UP*FREIGHT

Not See Value When Calculation Cell Is Blank

Jan 17, 2013

In one cell I have the formula =EDATE(D4,3) which looks to the cell to the left (which has a date in it) and in this case with the 3 it gives me a date three months in advance of the date in the cell to the left. This is for sites I visit quarterly. Then for those I visit monthly obviously the 3 is replaced with a 1. so in the cell I get the date when I next need to do my visit.

In the cell to the RIGHT of the cell which has the formula-generated date in it, is a cell in which I manually enter the date on which the next visit took place. In some cases I can't put anything into this cell because I've not been to revisit the place and so I can't put a date in. In the column to the right of this I've got the same formula as referred to above but, because the cell to the left is blank, it's returning a value which makes no sense and really, I'd prefer it that if the cell to the left is blank, the formula doesn't return any value (just leaves a blank cell instead).

So, what would I have to add to the formula above or what would I have to do to get it that if the cell to the left is blank, the formula is still there, but just returns a blank cell???

Calculation Based On Cell Value

Dec 17, 2007

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?
