I am attempting to program a column of cells so that if say "B3" doesn't match the contents of "A3", then "B3" will be highlighted in some way, maybe with a color. I'm using Excel 2000 and I can't see a way in Conditional Formatting to accomplish this without having to program each cell in column "B". I was hoping to be able to click and drag down in column "B".
Does anyone know a formula that calculates the future value of an unequal payment stream? I am attempting to calculate the value of an investment plan where the periodic payment increases by 1% each period. I can get the answer by using the FV formula for each payment and then adding them up, but would like to be able to do it without having to do so.
I am using Excel 2007, and here is my scenario. I have a spreadsheet with a different sheet for each month of the year. I want certain cells in a month's sheet to mirror or be equal to the same cell in the previous sheet so that if I change the value of a cell in April, the same cell will automatically be changed in May.
An example is that I have a cell with the value of "Comcast". If I want to change that value in April to "Directv", I want it to automatically change in May, too.
Now I know that I can individually program a cell to be equal to a cell in another sheet and it will do exactly what I want. The problem is that I have about 60 cells in each sheet that I want to mirror the same cells in the previous sheet, and I don't want the entire sheet to mirror the previous one. So with 11 months/sheets with cells mirroring the previous sheet, individually programming 660 cells and switching between sheets to do that would take a very long time.
So my question is this. Is there any way to select multiple cells and have them all mirror the same cells on a different sheet without my having to program each cell individually?
I have two sets of data to compare. One is real world data, the other is forecasted data. I have real daily data for every day over about 3 months. The predictions though, there may be 4-6 predictions for ever one real daily value.
What I'd like to do is have a function that looks at Column A's date (real daily value) and Column C's date (predicted data) and if Column C equals Column A, then divide corresponding data in Column B by value in Column D.
I have a problem finding the correct formula for counting matches with conditions between 2 non-equal ranges in Excel. The sheet is a try at making a working schedule template a bit automated.
For Week 1 each cell in the H16:H25 has a drop-down list (originating from BD30:BD50) where a work position can be chosen. The fixed list in BD30:BD50 starts with “<<SELECT>>” which is the default choice for the cells in H16:H25, and then “HOLD” before continuing with various work position names. K16:K25 is shift number 1 on Monday, L16:25 is shift 2 on Monday, and so on until Shift number 6. Then the rest of the days of the week follow (each with 6 shifts). Monday through Sunday (with 6 shifts for each) ranges over K16:AZ25. In the cells in K16:AZ25 the following can be entered: “x” (work), “o”(off), “-“ (leave).
The issue is the formula in each of the K26:AZ26 cells which are to total each of the shift columns . I want to count all the “x” in each column, but ONLY if the positions chosen in H16:H25 matches one of the positions in the list in BD30:BD50. NOT if a cell in H16:H25 displays “<<SELECT>>” or “HOLD” (even if it has a “x” entered in one of the Shift cells).
On the next tab, I want the cell in D5 to equal A9, D6 to equal B9, D7 to C9, etc.
I can't seem to lock the cell correctly to do this. If I use =A$9 in cell D5 and then copy down in cell D6 I'll get A$9 also, but if I use $A9, in D6 I'll get $A10.
How would I select a dynamic range in VBA without using name a range in Excel. I have searched for possible answers, however they use xldown, or xlup which works great for non-empty cells. My problem need to select the area where there are empty cells. Here is a snap shot of the data looks like:
Trade Date A B C D E 2008-Feb-11 450,432 2008-Feb-13 2008-Feb-15
The cell with number is where I got the formulas. Now i wish to fill that formula with the rest of the area. However, the problem is the number of rows and number of columns may change in the future. So I need to select those empty areas in a dynamic way.
I am confusing of using the equal function in vba, I need to have some cells between sheet1 and sheet to be equal but i cannot just put = sign in the sheet as it may be deleted. Can I have it as VBA code? how to do that and where to put this code, in what event?
I have two spreadsheets I would like to compare against each other, last weeks inventory (Sheet 1) and this weeks (Sheet 2). All items are listed by unit number, is there a way to have all unit numbers on Sheet 1 colored red that are not on Sheet 2 and vice versa?
Is there a way to compare two cells and return true if they are the same, false if different? There is text and numerical data. As a side note, can anybody recommend a lightweight reference so I can sit for an evening or two and at least get an idea of what excel can do?
I need to compare a value to several cells and print the value into a new cell if and only if the value is not in any of the cells I am comparing to.
Say cells A1, A4, A8 and A12 contains different numbers. I want to compare a value, say 120, to the values of the above cells and if it is not contained in one of those cells I want to enter 120 into cell A16. If A1, A4, A8 or A12 contains the value 120 I want to leave A16 blank or write 0 to it.
Is there an easy way of doing this? Right now I am using a if-test for each of the cells I am comparing to, but this gets very messy as the number of cells increases.
how to compare two cells (say, today's date with the date an order was supposed to be sent out), with a third cell that either has a tick in it, or nothing. If there's an easier way to do this other than VB code, I haven't found it. I tried conditonal formatting but it wouldn't let me have a condition in which it just checked the third cell, it needed to compare it with the selected one.
I have a spreadsheet with Golf Stats on it, and on my latest import, the lookup stopped working. I am no longer able to look up any of the golfers names.I have attached a portion of the spreadsheet as an example.Lookup Failure.xlsx
Before the data was pulled in 'last name','first name' but is now 'first','last'... so that explains why I have the lookup column in Column A, because it used to convert the last,first format to first,last but that is besides the point. What my real problem is not being able to lookup Column D. As you can see in Cell L4, I tried to test if K4=D4 (Both say Nicolas Colsaerts but Excel does not say they are equal).
I am trying to hide rows if cetain cells in that row equal zero using a button on the page. Each cell has lookup formulas that will return a value. If coulmn B,F & I have a value of zero I want to hide the row. As of right now I am using the following code but I keep getting the following error message runtime error '13': type mismatch
I have a date on one sheet, and what I thought was the same exact date on another sheet. I want to vlookup off the date, however the values aren't the same. i.e. when I check to see if they = I get a false. They're both formated the same, custom date m/d/yyyy h:mm, and when I ran the check to see if one was text (t=(A1)) I get confirmation that they are both non-text!
I have 2 text cells (A1, B1) that appear to be the same, however, when I typed the formula "=if(A1=B1,"Yes","No)" in cell C1 the result is NO! (see attachment)
I have two excel files. The data is arranged by column. I want to take 3 or more cells (from three different columns) from a particular row and match them up with three cells (in 3 different columns but in the same row). The three cells should be in the same row. However the matching row may appear in a different order in each of the two lists. When Excel finds a match, I want it to return true. How can I go about doing something like this?
I have attached a file explaining what I mean. I am trying to match the three cells in list one with three cells in one of the rows in list 2. However the number of cells in each list is different and there are some cells in list 2 which are not in list 1 and vice versa. There may also be extra columns, which I have not included for the sake of simplicity.
I have column a,b,c. b and c both contain numbers. if cell c1 equal b1 then i want "new" to be displayed in a1. If it does not equal then i want "old". but if c1 is blank then i want a1 to remain blank.
