Conditional Formula Syntax Shows Hash Signs

Jul 1, 2007

I trying to write a conditional formula to test data in a cell to see where it falls between certain values, and depending on the data in the cell, will display a message in another cell showing what level has been attained. It's a long formula and I may not have the syntax correct. Can someone look at this and tell me where I have went wrong? All I get in the target cell is "################".

Here is the formula:

Try this formula. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas
  =IF(c13<1600,"Not at prize level yet",IF(AND(c13>=1600,c13<=1999.99),"You have reached level 1",IF(AND(c13>1999.99,c13<=2499.99),"You have reached level 2",IF(AND(c13>2499.99,c13<=2999.99),You have reached level 3,IF(AND(c13>3000,c13<=3499.99),"You have reached level level 4",IF(c13>3500,"You have reached the top level!!"))))))

Conditional Formatting To Identify Change In Signs?

Jun 26, 2014

So I am working with a model that calculates IRR, NPV, etc. I need to create a formula for conditional formatting that calls out if the IRR calculation is invalid due to non-normal cash flows. These are cash flows where signs change more than once (eg -100,200,-300).

Reason For Double Negative Signs In Formula

Sep 19, 2007

I've just seen a formula with two - (minus) signs right next to each other placed before a section in a formula while reading possible answers to my post. Here is the link: Understanding this formula. I've seen it before and am intrigued as to why it is there and what it actually does. Assume it is used such: = --(1+2). Would the answer then not be =--3 = 3?

If Else Syntax: Change Some Outputs Of The Macro Without Changing The Syntax

Jul 19, 2006

I´m writting a macro. It works find until a certain point. When I want to change some outputs of the macro without changing the syntax, it display an error mesage while runing the macro. It says Else without If. Which is quite disturbing because the Else was not creating any problem before. Here is my macro before I changed the conditions (this one work nicely)

Sub Copy_Sheet_Beta()
Set wba = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
If IsWorkbookOpened("Projekt.xls", "C:Documents and SettingsfrederikSkrivebordRedd Barna") Then
Workbooks("Projekt.xls").Activate 'In case open, just activate "Projekt"
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Documents and SettingsfrederikSkrivebordRedd Barnaprojekt.xls"
End If
Set wb = Workbooks("Projekt.xls")
wb.Activate
If Not SheetExists(wba.ActiveSheet. Range("C1").Value) Then
MsgBox "overall doesn't exist!"
Else........................................

Hash Marks

May 30, 2007

I have my columns set at a certain width, the cells set to Wrap Text, the Row set to Autofit YET sometimes when I add text, the hashmarks show up as if the cell isnt formatted correctly and Excel cant show all the text. I can resize the cell, change the text whatever, nothing changes. The only way I can fix this is to cut the text out, open a separate worksheet, paste the text into a cell and copy the whole cell BACK into the original spreadsheet, then I have to reformat the text, whereupon it behaves as it is supposed to.

I read about a similiar problem and the reply was that a macro might be causing the error. This is not the case here. This doesnt happen with any regularity so it is very difficult to figure out.

COUNTIF Formula Which Shows A %

Mar 5, 2009

I already have a conditional format which is working OK. I would like to put a formula in the cell so it shows a % so currently it would be 100% as there is 3 cells below showing 3 greens.

Alternativily each colour is worth a value - Green = 1, Amber = 2, Red = 3. So Cell I3 would show 3.

Formula That Only Shows Data Only If Different From Above?

Jun 19, 2014

I am trying to create a basic invoice spreadsheet.

On worksheet 1, I have days of the month A4 to A35. Columns B, C, D, E are headed.

Every hour of work I would enter a " 1 " in the correct cell for the day. For example, 1 hour, every segment of the day, I would enter "1" in cells Bx, Cx, Dx and Ex. This continues for the month;

On a 2nd worksheet, this is neatened up, and I have added formulas to work out the cost and type of call;

On the third worksheet, I want to display roughly the same, however when there has been no work on the day (ie the date displays "None" and the adjacent cells show: blank, blank, blank, blank, £0.00), I want it to skip the cell and display the next date which has data to show (ie a date). The data on the adjacent cells needs match with the date (in the same way as physically deleting a 'non worked' whole row).

This then on the invoice worksheet would look neat and display only the days actually worked.

What formula(s) could I use to do this.

I have this code for setting up a sheet to begin a calculation involving the solver add in. I am getting a "Run Time Error 13: Type Mismatch" on the line that inserts a formula into the cell. I have put the first offending line in bold in the code below. Is this a problem with syntax or is there something else that I have made a mistake on?

Syntax For Using Variables Within VBA Formula Functions?

Dec 3, 2003

correctly using variables within functions used in formulas specified by VBA. Here's an example:

I want to place a formula within a workbook file called "Books 2003.xls" that goes to the version of the file for the previous year (or whatever year is specified) and does a Sum of a particular range (where that range is also specified as a variable) so it sums up the Total for the previous year for the same number of months that have data in them to date for the current year. Once VBA places the formula where it belongs, it should be able to always provide a running comparisson with the current year to date total and the totals for the same period for the previous year. Here's an example of the intent of this simple formula:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM('[Books 2002.xls]Income Summary'!R4C2:R8C2)"

The workbook files will all be named the same way: Books 2002.xls, Books 2003.xls etc.... The range to be summed will always start at R4C2, but could then end anywhere from R4C2 (same as B4) up to R15C2 (same as B15).

I already have a routine that captures the value for the variable CurrentYear in the form "2003" and thus have another variable for PrevYear (= CurrentYear -1), and so then have a way to correctly specify the variable "BookName" to get the correct filename needed. I also have a variable for the CurrentMonth in the form of "1 through 12", and can use that to specifiy the correct RowNum needed to determine the end of the range (RowNum = CurrentMonth + 3).

I've tried to substitute the variables "BookName" and "RowNum" into the above formula with various combinations such as what follows, but I'm not getting the correct syntax with the right number of quotes etc...:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""=SUM('[" & BookName & "]Income Summary'!R4C2:R" & RowNum & "C2)""

This doesn't work, and I'd love to learn the correct rules for syntax when inserting variables into situations like this.

IF Formula Shows FALSE When It Shouldn't

May 30, 2014

I am facing an issue related to IF formula. It does show the correct result in one and another cell, but in a few others - doesn't.

This is strange since all variables are correct, and parameters are the same for every cell. And, in theory every cell should show the right answer.

In addition, the result doesn't change even when changing variables in cells that are dependants to cell where IF is located.

Concerning the formula itself. Variables are as such:

- different container types (20, 40, 40rf, 45cs, 45rf, 45)
- different weight limitations per container type (e.g. 20 container max weight 26t)
- using IF(OR(AND(....
- if any of the conditions met (e.g. 20 container < 26t ) then VLOOKUP for the rate from data based on the place name.
- if non of conditions met, then show "Overweight cargo"

Formula Shows Result As FALSE?

Feb 15, 2014

I have following formula:

Why does this formula show result as "FALSE"?

If cell B56 is empty, then I need a result of "". i.e. blank result, but it shows FALSE word.

IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",

then you go straight to the TRUE nested IFs

IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",
IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Pla",RIGHT(Table!AN4,2)&"% Discount",
IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Gol",RIGHT(Table!AO4,2)&"% Discount",
IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Sil",RIGHT(Table!AP4,2)&"% Discount",""))), "need something here" )

so to get ""

IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Pla",RIGHT(Table!AN4,2)&"% Discount",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Gol",
RIGHT(Table!AO4,2)&"% Discount",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Sil",RIGHT(Table!AP4,2)&"% Discount",""))), "" )

Blank Cell Shows 0 Or 12:00 AM If There Is Formula

May 25, 2009

I am getting 0 or 12:00 AM when I format cell as time and put formula.

I working on timesheet using this formula (=SUMIF('2'!G4,"="&TODAY(),'2'!E17)). If date in G4 on sheet2 match with todays/current date then copy data in cell E17 to sheet3(b11).

G4 = todays date
E17 = time eg. 2:25 AM ( I have to format destination cell as time because E17 has time value

Formula works fine but when there is no data in E17 or E17 is blank then my destination cell shows 12:00 AM.

Formula Shows In Cell, Not Result

Jan 3, 2008

Why is it that when I edit some cell's formulas and press enter the result is not the changed formula but the formula itself complete with the '=' sign infront of the fuormula. The work around for me is to cut the formula and paste it into a new cell then drag the old cell over the previous one I tried to edit.

Finding Right Syntax For Concatenating A Space In If / Then Formula

Apr 16, 2012

Below is the "real formula"

=IF(SUM($F$4-$E$4)= 0," ",SUM($F$4-$E$4)) 'If the value is 0 then enter a space in the cell.

And below is the VBA formula

"=if(sum(" & LastRowCell & "-" & FirstRowCell & ")= 0," & " " & ",sum(" & LastRowCell & "-" & FirstRowCell & "))"

The real formula works, but I am having having difficulties with the syntax of the VBA formula. The above VBA formula works to, but enters a 0 in the cell instead of a space.

IF / AND Formula Syntax - Display Valid Or Invalid

Sep 25, 2012

I have two columns with values, and want to display "Valid" or "Invalid" in a third column, dependant on the two preceeding values.

If both column 1 and column 2 contain #N/A, then I want the third column to display "Invalid".

If the above is not true, then I want the third column to display "Valid".

I've been trying different syntax with IF/AND but cannot achieve the result.

Syntax Error In VBA Relative Reference Formula

Jan 7, 2014

I was able to get VBA to post this relative reference, which sticks the formula

=DATE(YEAR($D2),MONTH($D2)+6, DAY($D2)+1) into a cell in Col J.

All fine and dandy, works as it should with this formula.

Code:
.Cells(Row, "J").FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(YEAR(RC4),MONTH(RC4)+6, DAY(RC4)+1)"

However, when I try this with a different formula =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C2,H2)),"REPEAT","SAFE"), I'm getting a compile error: Expected end of statement with this code:

Code:
.Cells(Row, "I").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(RC3,RC8)),"REPEAT","SAFE")"

The error message highlights the word REPEAT. I suppose it's something with all the quotes throwing off where compiler thinks the end of the formula should be.

Vlookup Shows Formula Not Data In Every Cell

Aug 7, 2008

I have created a vlookup and it shows as a formula not as data. I can do 'text to columns' to correct it, but I need to drag this vlookup to lots of different cells, then change it slightly in each one.

Every time I make a change, it reverts to the formula and I have to do 'text to columns' again.

Formula Shows An Error Once Source Is Closed

Nov 30, 2007

I am linking two worksheets together. Formulas work fine except when I close the source sheet, it turnes into #REF error. I saw in one of the posts that you can not use INDIRECT formula on closed workbooks (INDIRECT is a part of the formula in my sheet) and downloaded the changingExternal. zip file as directed. Although, after staring at it for a while, I realized that I had no idea as to what was going on in there.
