Compass Direction Differences
Jul 12, 2006
I'm trying to do is take the difference of two wind directions but need the actual difference not the true mathematical difference. For example:
Wind direction 350 was forecasted
Wind direction 020 was observed
The difference is 030 degrees off not 330 degrees.
How do I do a formula to state the true difference not numeric?
I was figuring these conditions:
- if the number is above 180 & below 360 just subtract 180
- if the number is below 180 & above 0 just add 180
Using w/ example:
350-180=170
020+180=200
170-200=-030 (then take ABS to get 030)
I'm a weather professional and doing tons of metrics regarding weather parameters.

My understanding of Excel is that the calculations are performed in Column A first and then down through the rows in Column A. After all the calculations are finished in A, the calculation moves over to Column B and down the rows in B. Is this true?
I know that Excel is a little more complicated than that especially when it creates a queue for calculations, etc. However, assuming there's no calculation list/queue, would the above be correct?

I have a list of wind directions and I want to get the average. Obviously, there is an issue since the average of a northwest (330) and northeast (030) wind is 360, not 180. I've got several formulas in the attached spreadsheet, but none seem to give the correct results.

When placing a control on a worksheet, the text in the label,option box etc controls is vertical and I can't find a way of changing the direction to left to right. It doesn't happen on all workbooks. I can put the control on a "normal" workbook and then copy it to the "abnormal" workbook but I would like to know why/how I can change the direction of the text.
Under Tools/Options/International the text direction states left to right

I believe this is a little basic for this forum; but, I haven't been able to find a good answer just searching the web.
I have a spreadsheet that I am entering single digit numbers in each cell. I would like the cursor to automatically jump to the next cell to the right after the number is entered (without having to hit the right arrow key).

I'm trying to create a wind rose using data from a logger. Have wasted a lot of time so far.
Formula that could put this data into some kind of wind rose?
The main information I'm interested in is the length of time the wind blows in different directions.

I have this macro that automatically inserts the date in column B when data is entered in column D. What I would like to is when I press enter in a cell in column D then the selection cell will move to column E and then when I enter again in column E then move to column D again on the next row. IE. if I'm in D12 and press enter then move to E12 and then move to D13 and so on.

I have two colums with 1000 rows for column 1 and 500 for column 2 that shows gps coordinates. I want to work out the distances between the gps coordinates but want the answer only if it is less than 30 kilometres.The formulae must do the following
a1-b1 and compare the answer to a1-(b2:b1000) and give me the smalles answer in column c.
I want the closest gps coordinate to A1. Even if i do vlookup first there might still be a closer gps coordinate in row 501 than just subtracting A1-B1

is there an IF formula to compare values in two columns, say Column A and Column B have "Action recommended" and column B has "Actual action taken", both columns should have the same texts, in cases where there is no similarity, the formula should count the cases.

I am trying to compare matches and differences in two lists in order to pull statistics from them.
I have a production schedule I make at the start of the week (list 1) and compare that to what I actually ran at the end of the week (list 2). I would like to produce the following from these two lists;
- a list (list 3) that shows all the orders I didn't run in my original schedule
- a way of summing the number of matches (of work order #s) in the two lists (list 1 and list 2)
- and way of extracting the corresponding machine hours I did / did not run from the two lists
I have provided text boxes on the attached excel file to better explain my problem.

I have to worksheets I get from two different dbases do the output is slightly different in each. What I need is simple, (I think). Just need to get a VBA that looks from Sheet1 to Sheet2 for a doc number. If it's not on Sheet 2, simply highlight it BLUE on Sheet, AND then looks from Sheet2 to Sheet1, and if it's not on Sheet1, then highlight the entry on Sheet2 GREEN.
I.E.
SHEET1SHEET2
COL ACOL A
11111AAAAA
22222BBBBB
3333311111
AAAAA44444

I'm looking to compare a number of duplicate lists to an original. If a duplicate list contains 1 or more different values to the original, I want to return a value of 1. For example:
Original list
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
Duplicate 1
Value 4
Value 2
Value 1
Count = 1
Duplicate 2
Value 1
Value 4
Value 5
Count = 1
I'd then like to sum the counts. Ideally this would all take place in the one formula, but I can split them into different cells if necessary. I can't use macros for this.

I may be creating a small Excel-based VBA application for a client on a semi-formal basis. I personally use Windows XP with Office XP installed, but I'm concerned about the possibility of serious differences between versions of Windows and Excel that may cause my code to fail on other machines.
I don't think I need to cater to any version of Excel BEFORE that in Office XP, but I probably do need to cater for versions after it. That's Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office for Vista,

I have attached two excel files for easier understanding of what I am trying to explain. One is named Deviltronics which is our product list, the other is named Supplier which is our suppliers product list. The suppliers product list is updated every hour to tell me of new products, products in stock, products out of stock and discontinued products. I have cut the suppliers file down considerably to get it to fit as an attachment on this thread. They currently have about 800 products. Now for how this is currently working and the problem:
I use the suppliers file to add the products to my website manually (which is fine) by using the information on the suppliers file. I also add the product title, SKU and part number from the suppliers file onto our Deviltronics file, this allows me to keep a record. The reason I need this record is so that I can use either the SKU or part number to search the suppliers file to see if a particular product is still in stock or not. You can distinguish the supplier has a lengthy product list, although we will not be putting all of there stock on our website at least 70% of it will be on there, therefore you can see how much of a lengthy process this is if I want to check the products on a daily basis......

In attached spreadsheet, I have run my marco on Col A to tag which records are duplicates (macro in workbook). Now, of the records that are tagged "DUP", I would like to find which cells in Cols B, C, D, etc. have changed - ie., compare the first "DUP" record to the second "DUP" record. Some records and 2 DUPs, others have 3, 4, etc. I only want to compare the tagged "DUP" groups. Changing the cell color (or other type of tagging) the difference is acceptable.

I've got a spreadsheet which lists reference numbers and a value of each one on for two different weeks which looks like this (please ignore the ....'s - I was trying to illustrate the colums clearly but the spaces seem to get removed when I post this)
ref(week 1):...........Value (week 1):......ref (week 2):....Value (week 2):
123456...................£100.23...............123456.............£100.23
113456...................£123.45...............147258.............£75.32
147258...................£74.25.................978645.............£1000.02
What I want to do is compare the value for week 1 and week 2 for each reference number. The problem is that not all the reference numbers for week 1 will be in week 2, and not all the reference numbers in week 2 will have appeared in week 1. I would like to know if there's a way that excel can identify a specific reference number, search for the values for this in week one and week two, and display any differences between these, (e.g. on the above spreadsheet I would like to identify that ref 123456 appears in both weeks and that the balance is the same, reference 147258 appears in both but the value is different, and that reference 113456 & reference 978645 do not appear in both weeks).

I am a relatively light Excel user. I mainly use it when working with the .dbf files that make-up GIS shapefiles.
My problem at hand: How can I compare/isolate the rows from spreadsheet #1 to #2 to determine which rows are unique to spreadsheet #1?
What I'm doing: I have a spreadsheet of addresses which I joined to our parcels shapefile to select those parcels. I am trying to determine the success rate of my join operation by isolating the rows which weren't joined. This would be determined by highlighting which rows from spreadsheet #1 aren't in #2.

I have two worksheets. Sheet1 is a Master List and Sheet2 is subset of Master List. Now I have to separate those records which are there in Master List, but not there is Sheet2 and list them in Sheet3.
Example:
Sheet1 contains records: a, b, c, d, e, f in rows
Sheet2 contains records: a, d, e in rows
Sheet3 must show: b, c, f in rows

I have attached a portion of my Pivot Chart in Excel 2003 and have been trying to recreate this in 2007 with some difficulty. I am particularly interested in displaying the field list headings (specifically 'Count of Hit or Miss') in the pivot chart in 2007 but cannot make it work.

I need to compare two worksheets, and show the final results in the Results Sheet.
These two sheets are actually .CSV files and is why some of the cells show as dates.
The SKU column is a combination of Material and Length. we need to find the difference for the Qty of SKU items.
If you look at the results page you will see what the results should be. Colored cells are just to show the differences in the example.
