I have a conditional formula which gives a value based on what the User specifies.
Example of formula is:
=IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY",""))
If the result of the string is " CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY " then
- word MANDATORY (not the whole string) should be in RED
- words (FINANCE ONLY) should be in BLUE
- remaining string should be left in BLANK
I would like to change the colour of a userform both the background colour and the font colour. However, in the colour property box I am met with &H00C0C0C0& (which is Grey). I can select some other colours but not the one I would like to use.
I have tried inserting RGB(194,214,154) however I get the error 'Invaild proprty value'
i am creating a spreadsheet to account for work being done on a team. At the moment the sheet adds up the average time that the whole team is taking to do a task,and it also adds up the time each person is taking.
so for instance: KL take 100 minutes to do the task. but the average time across the team is 90 minutes per task. i have my list of staff with their times in column E. so what i want is if their time is higher than the average then the box turns red, if it is lower then green etc. (the average figure is got by summing everyones totals in box B22.
if the date is two months under the date it needs to be checked it goes yellow if its over two months before it needs checked it goes green if its passed the date it needs to be checked by it turns red
I have a spreadsheet which reports across different categories, but there's a lot of info. So simplify this, I've written a simple macro that changes the series range in an existing chart, so top level and by category. This works well apart from I'm using excel 2007, and some people aren't, so the default colours look fine on my version, but change to some awful colours on anyone with an earlier version of excel. I need a way of changing the colours to standard ones depending on which macro is being run.
I have tried running the following, but I get an error, basically saying the series hasn't been selected.
Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?
The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.
The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?
What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.
The idea came about after wanting to show a 'gold' 'silver' and 'bronze' background colour, but having to plump for yellow, grey and orange looked a little crap :f
If not, can a workaround be created by using code and a picture or 2?
If I want to change only A7 to A8, A9, A10 without changing the other parts of the formula, how do I do that. I need to copy this formula in about 300 rows.
formula that will pull out the number preceding the * 60 in the text below? In this particular case I would be looking to get 5 as the result. That number could be any number but in the example below it happens to be a 5.
Channel Tune Duration in Seconds} (ID) >= (5 * 60))
What I want to do is sum all the values after the / for a particalur value before the /:
A 8 B 4
I already tried VLOOKUP, but this function wants you to point to a certain cell to return instead of a just a part of the cell. It should return 5 for the first row to be able to perform a sum for every value of A.
How can I perform such a calculation without having to copy the values to separate cells? Can I contain all of this in one function?
Im sure this cant be done because it defies the logic of the LOOKUP function but I know there are some clever people on here so i thought id ask!!
I have 2 workbooks containing similar data from 2 different sources; the one common data item in both is a clients address but have the age old problem of data quality, which needs sorting eventually but i need a quick fix!
In workbook one for example the address will be recorded as RUSKIN RD
In workbook two the address will be recorded as RUSKIN ROAD
A simple look up wont work obviously as the 2 values dont match, then i thought of using the LEFT function but again this goes against the logic of the VLOOKUP.
I have a list of data that populates B2:B2900 This data is often prefixed by a 'reference code' that I wish to be removed. Now rater than perform this manually aprox 3000 times is there a formula or some VB code that will complete this for me....
eg
The list of data is shown like:
SC7547-05 - Payne, Freda SC8706-08 - Rungren, Todd SC8714-05 - Travis, Randy SC7517-03 - Beach Boys, The Love Song Now You're Gone SC7512-01 - Horton, Johnny SC8721-15 - Journey
So I wish for the SC7547-05 - to be removed from the first example to just leave Payne, Freda and continue this throughout the list However if the data is found not to include this code (as in the 5th/6th examples above) leave it alone
So if the code of formula is run for the above the outcome would be....
Payne, Freda Rungren, Todd Travis, Randy Beach Boys, The Love Song Now You're Gone Horton, Johnny Journey
I'm trying to use this formula to lookup the value in the array that matches, however, the first 4 numbers aren't known (thus why I'm doing the lookup) =VLOOKUP("*"&C2, 'KLIF Data'!A:C,1,0)
The * is being interpreted as a character, is there a way to perform the Vlookup function using a wildcard? Or just ignoring the first 4 characters of the cells in the array would work.
I need to take out the number in the middle, from the period to the space. The number varies in length so just using the mid function doesn't work. Does anyone know how to modify the mid function to return all chars between the period and the space or is there some other function that may work?
If I have a store number (say 1234) and I am trying to search for something which contains 1234 (i.e. the whole string of ABCD1234, ABCD1235, ABCD1236 etc) is it possible to do this in one VLOOKUP formula?
One way of doing it would be to VLOOKUP("ABCD"&"1234",....) but I would rather do it the other way around, to prevent the formula from not working.
I am currently working on creating a dialogue which will allow the user to input a range of worksheets to use for a pivot table.
I want the user to be able to input a variable into the dialogue. For example, I want the input "n-5 - n-1" to mean the 6th from last to the 2nd from last sheets. I am trying to find n - ([0-9]+)? and replace it with Worksheets.Count - $1. In other words, if there are 10 sheets, I want to transform "n-5 - n-1" into "5 - 9".
Here is the code I have so far:
[Code] ....
This has been working for strings like "n" or "n-4" but not "4 - n-3" or "n-5 - n-1".
Here is the code I use afterwards to interpret the string once the n's have been replaced:
I am trying to delete part of a text string for a range of cells. The code I have so far deletes the first set of letters but is looking in every cell in the range.
Ideally I would like it to only look in the cells of col B where there is data then only delete the first 10 letters if the cell begins with "Service ID"
Sub DeleteServiceID() Dim c As Range For Each c In Range("B1:B1000") c.Value = Right(c.Value, 10) Next c End Sub
I belong to a fantasy cycling league and after every race, I copy the race results to award each rider their points for the day. The site I visit most frequently lists the riders results in this format:
1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00 2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong etc... 4:06:00
I usually copy the results to my spreadsheet then calculate each riders points.
The'results end up looking like this in Excel:
1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00 2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong 4:06:00
So, the data ends up in 3 cells. The position in one cell, the rider and their nationality and their team in another, and the time of arrival in another cell
Is there a way in Excel where I can get rid of or delete all the data after a rider's name?
I usually end up pasting the rider information to Word, then replacing the (***) with a tab symbol, then pasting back to Excel and get rid of the data that's after the name by deleting the cells to which that data was transferred.
Is there an easier way to do this in Excel, or a macro I can create?...
Is there any way I can Vlookup for just part of a text stiring in a cell. I am trying to vlook if a part number contains the letters “HFR” if it does I want It to refer to the comment I have made in the second column of my vlook table against HFR.
I have a worksheet that I need to filter on 8 columns. I need to do this in the form (Col A = Bob OR SAM) AND (Col B = Apple OR Pear OR Banana) AND... etc for 8 columns.
I started this thread and we reached the conclusion that I needed either a macro to list out all the possible combinations on separate lines, or a complex criteria formula.
I'm trying to put together the complex criteria, but I am further stumped by the fact that some of the columns contain multiple terms with comma delimiters, so I'm trying to match part of a string, rather than a whole string, so the usual = ISNUMBER(MATCH(Sheet1!A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0)) won't work. I tried using =ISNUMBER(FIND(Sheet2!$A:$A,Sheet1!A2)) instead, but I think this fails because it should be an array formula. I tried normal entering and CSE entering, and neither work, so I think this is a dead end.
I have code that retrieves the body of an email. I need to parse out certain parts of the text. For example, the text will look like the following;
LastName: John Doe Email: johndoe@aol.com Cell#: 555-555-5555 FileRequested: xxxxx.xlsx
I have the code to find where the specific item, ie LastName, starts in the whole text. I need to retrieve everything to the right of the : before the CRLF. That's what Im having trouble with.
