Consistent Layout
Feb 28, 2009
I have MS Office 2003 with Excel and am comfortable creating formulas and have fun making spreadsheets, but have little experience with multiple tabs. They frustrate me. I'd like to set up a file that would essentially be a year of bookkeeping. Everything in view would be income, outgo, anticipated expenses, and running cash flow for a month. I'd like 12 or 14 tabs (1 per month plus overview and recap capability). If I make any format changes in row height or column width, I'd like those changes to apply to all tabs without having to copy the new layout to each of the other tabs. I think that would run the risk of also copying one months expenses/income erroneously to another month. Is this possible? I'd like to stretch a column, add column or row and have the changes apply to all tabs.
Also, most of the time, I like to have a tinted background behind my lists, but if a cost item needs to be copied from a green "expense list" to a blue "accounts paid" list, the color comes along. Can I copy only the text, not the format?

i have attached a sample spreadsheet that i am having a real problem with. each period i have to produce a report showing the week and period-to- date figures for various sites. the info is held in Adaytum and a view is created in excel that pulls in the data. i then run various formulae to create the report.
the cells in blue are a linked view from Cognos/Adaytum (an external database program). the cells in green contain a SUMIF formula that works correctly until the Adaytum view is changed, whereupon all formula with cell references within the blue area turn to REF#. don't ask me why, it seems to be a quirk of this version of Adaytum i use
so, in the example attached if i change from period 06 to period 07 in the Adaytum view, my criteria cells (B2:E2) would go to REF# and the green cells (J5:J8) go to REF# also.
the only way i have found to get around this is to use a vlookup, and extend the lookup range beyond the blue cells, ie. =VLOOKUP($H5,$A$5:$F$8,2,0). for some reason this works!
now, for a single weeks info this works ok, as the lookup is referencing a single offset column but i can't think of a way of then saying, "do the lookup and then sum columns B+C, or B+C+D"
does anyone have any ideas how this might work? can the Sum or Offset functions be used within a Vlookup?

In the attached file I am simply trying to get a percentage for a given group based on the column "annual starts". When I try and copy down the formula for the other cells it gives me an error because its using the wrong denominator (the errors show up in the excel sheet as #div/0).How can I make this consistent?

This Subroutine:
[Code] .........
Seems to behave differently each time it is called from my main Loop. As an example the first loop finds:
TotalTubes = 6
TubeRows = 4
TopRowTubeCount = 2
Where 6/4 = 1.5 and is rounded up to 2
The controlling variable in my code for Length is TopRowTubeCount and it is a Public Variable Dimensioned as an Integer
However on the next loop it finds:
TotalTubes = 210
TubeRows = 4
TopRowTubeCount = 52
Where 210/4 = 52.5 and is rounded down to 52?
I even used the round function for the TopRowTubeCount calculation and the erratic behavior continues.

Is it possible to apply some kind of formatting to a range, that will force all numbers entered into that range to have the same number of decimal places as the cell with the maximum number of decimal places?

I have 3 columns of data "Store", "Week" and "Cust" and use the code below to ensure that it was always 150 consecutive rows long regardless of whether any data is in the row.
This is fine if I just have one week to sort, but I find I now have 52 weeks of data and each week could have a different number of stores. I just need the macro below to run each time a new week starts. I can easily put a space (or something else) at the start of each new week so that a " loop" can check for it.
For i = 1 To 150
If ActiveSheet. Cells(i, 1).Value <> i Then
ActiveSheet.Rows(i).Insert
End If
Next

Newbie here. I have a very frustrating problem. I am using excel for my gradebook at school. I've tried several different ways to assign a letter grade to an number average. It works fine each different way I do it, VLOOKUP, IF, etc. But, I have about 5 grades out of 100 which give the wrong letter grade. For instance, my scale says that a grade of 85 should be lowest limit of a "B", but I get a "C" returned in the cell instead. Like I said, it only happens on a few grades. The biggest majority work fine. I can't figure out why. Any ideas? Attached is one of the "problems" with a student's grades. Note the Final Avg with a grade of "C", it should be "B".

as the title says, i need to rotate a range but to keep all defined names (single cell or range) consistent.
i.e.
lets say i have the following cells filled:
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
now i have a few defined ranges. lets say:
range name, refers to
mycell1row1, A1
mycell90roanything, B1
mysomething, C1
mysomthingrange, A1:F1
etc.
what i need in the end is this:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4 4 4
and for defined names:
mycell1row1, A1
mycell90roanything, A2
mysomething, A3
mysomthingrange, A1:A7

I cannot determine why I am getting an N/A error in Cells I11:L11. The formula is copied and consistent throughout the sheet. The Table referenced in the formula appears to be fine. I just cannot figure this out.

I have been struggling to get dates to remain in a consistent format within my Excel 2003 worksheets. I would like to work out how to keep them permanently in the "dd/mm/yyy" format. I have tried several formatting options. The current method I will explain below:
I have several forms into which the 'date' is automatically entered using the - Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") code. This is then saved into cells on a worksheet using the code
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = CDate(Me.Date1.Caption)
At this point if I do a search for a date, lets say 23/03/2012 I can retrieve it and everything related to it - all seems fine (also all dates are visually in the correct format in my cells etc).
The problem arises when I exit Excel and save the workbook. When I go back into the workbook at a later time and try and search for the same date it won't work. Although the dates in the cells still read for example 23/03/2012, the search requires me to now use the format 03/23/2012 to retrieve the information (It seems like in the background the date has reverted to the US date format upon saving and yet visually it is still how I've set it up).

So I can easily put together a formula that maintains a consistent markup price across varying costs. Is there a formula that will give me a consistent gross margin % as I drag down a series of costs?
So if the cost is 158 a 42% mark up would be 224.36 but the Gross Margin % is only 29.58. I want to be able to hit a 42% mark up across the board.

Is it possible to do the following with a formula in Excel...
I have a list of users with the dates they first logged into a system and the date they last logged in. I'm trying to group them together into segments so I can analyse them using a Pivot table and chart to see how often different groups are using the system, e.g. New customers in December, November, October, etc.
The trouble I am having is trying to convert the different human-readable text strings into a consistent number of weeks from today's date, e.g.
USER FIRST LOGGED IN LAST LOGGED IN
user 1 2 years 20 weeks 54 sec ago
user 2 44 min 7 sec 1 min 37 sec ago
user 3 49 weeks 2 days 17 min 3 sec ago
user 4 5 weeks 2 days 33 min 32 sec ago
user 5 38 min 9 sec 38 min 9 sec ago
user 6 5 weeks 3 days 1 hour 7 min ago
user 7 2 hours 17 min 2 hours 11 min ago
user 8 45 seconds ago 45 seconds ago
Is there a formula I can use to convert these human readble text strings into a number of weeks elapsed since today's date?

I have several groups of data in the same sheet. Each group has two blank rows above the first row of data. Each group has column "B" in common (e.g., "Phone" in the example attached). I'd like to add a title/label of "Phone" to the first column in the row immediately preceding the first row of data for that group.

I'm making a sign in and sign out sheet for work and when I go to view and then page layout I get not only that but other sheets without the texts. Also, when I go back to my normal view I see dotted lines that show the page size over and over again. Any idea how I can see only what I want to see on page layout and get rid of those dotted lines?

I receive a worksheet every month, Say sheet A, and then I change its layout as per our need, call it sheet B. here is an example. (Pleae see attached),
All I need to know is there a way to change lay out every month without cutting and pasting row up and down. I think if I insert a column in sheet A (received sheet) as column A and use match function with Prior months sheet B, and sort sheet A by column A (matching numbers), BUT the problem is the blank spaces.

I'm a graphic designer with a few years of experience incorporating Excel content in design layouts, and for the first time I've been asked to use Excel to layout content. The client has a complicated spreadsheet that works as an interactive form, taking responses and running them through a hidden page of secret-sauce analytics before outputing results to a final report.
The thing is, they are hoping to use it in person with clients on an iPad, and then also print out all of the individual pages as a consistent-looking booklet.
I can make an excel page look good, but the printing just isn't going according to plan. When I go to print it distorts the pages. I can resize it to print, but then it doesn't work onscreen so well. And that's for one page: in a best-case scenario I'd need all of the pages to work for print and screen AND use the same scale so that they all look uniform.
how to use Excel for clean, consistant page layouts?

I have 2 excel files. 1 has 10 columns and about 20.000 rows. Each row is a customer entry and each column specifies data about the customer (column 1 first name, column 2 last name, column 3 email, column 4 city and so on). The 2nd excel file only contains 1 column with 4000 email addresses in it. These are email addresses of people who opted out of our newsletter and other marketing channels.
Now I want to have excel delete all the rows of the first file that correspond to the email addresses of the 2nd file. Obviously the email addresses in both files are identical, though the 2nd one contains fewer entries and only those people we don't want to continue sending emails to.

I received a CSV file with 2500 entries, but instead of being in 1 column, from 1 - 2500, they are spread across the top of the spreadsheet (1 in each header column). How do I make them go down instead of across??

I do not know much about macros so thats is possibly an easy problem to solve. My problem is basically rearranging the rows and columns. Example is below.
M.N= Material Name C.N= Country Name
M.N C.N
1 A
1 B
1 C
1 G
2 A
2 H
3 C
3 F
3 K
4 A
4 C
4 E
Here i have two columns. I would like to take the country list to rows as shown below.
M.N. A B C D E F* * *
1
2
3
4
5
*
*
And if the country has that material name it should show "Y" in the crossing cell. ( eg 1 A, 4 C)
I'd appreaciate your help. If you can help me with how to do this kind of layout changes with macro, it'd be more useful i guess, because i come accross with this kind of issues so often.

I need to import some csv files but I can not properly manage one of the field because it is a date and that field behave in a way that I can not definitely control;
I got an inversion of month with day so that the final layout is mm/dd/yyyy instead of the correct date layout dd/mm/yyyy I want (need);
the main problem is that when I'm importing these files via a VBA macro like
Workbooks.Open Filename:="n42s3.csv"
the inversion does happen whilst when I'm going through the "normal way" of the menu File, Open... it does not;
and moreover even if I put some commands on the vba macro like
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yy hh.mm;@"
in order to control the correct date layout I want I get no result at all
it's a big problem for myself because I need to open a large number of files which can not conveniently handled with the normal way (i.e. passing through the menu)

I have a workbook where employee scheduling is done on a monthly basis in 15 minute intervals. It is laid out like this:
******** ******************** ************************************************************************>Microsoft Excel - Key Support Services 090813.xlsx___Running: 12.0 : OS = (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutB2C2D2E2F2G2H2=ABCDEFGH2Time8/1/20098/2/20098/3/20098/4/20098/5/20098/6/20098/7/200938:00 AM 48:15 AM 58:30 AM 68:45 AM 79:00 AM 89:15 AM 99:30 AM 109:45 AM 1110:00 AM 1210:15 AM 1310:30 AM 1410:45 AM 1511:00 AM Schedule [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
The times go from 8 AM - 8 PM, and all of the cells within the range B3:AF51 are drop downs with the employee names listed. They are conditionally formatted so that we can easily see who is scheduled to work when, and on what days.
The problem that I have is that I like this layout for inputting the data because I can see it all very clearly, but it is not good for archiving or saving past months data. I want to be able to take that view and change the format so that it can easily be summarized in a Pivot Table for all of the historical information.
So, I need to take the date and time and format both of them into a column, put the client name (will be the sheet name) in the next column, and then the name of the staff that worked during that time.
******** ******************** ************************************************************************>Microsoft Excel - Book1___Running: 12.0 : OS = (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutA1=ABCD1DateTimeClientStaff28/1/20098:00 AMClient1Employee138/1/20098:15 AMClient1Employee148/1/20098:30 AMClient1Employee158/1/20098:45 AMClient1Employee168/1/20099:00 AMClient1Employee178/1/20099:15 AMClient1Employee188/1/20099:30 AMClient1Employee198/1/20099:45 AMClient1Employee1108/1/200910:00 AMClient1Employee1118/1/200910:15 AMClient1Employee1128/1/200910:30 AMClient1Employee1138/1/200910:45 AMClient1Employee2148/1/200911:00 AMClient1Employee2158/1/200911:15 AMClient1Employee2168/1/200911:30 AMClient1Employee2178/1/200911:45 AMClient1Employee2188/1/200912:00 PMClient1Employee2198/1/200912:15 PMClient1Employee2Sheet1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE!

From there I can take a completed month, and quickly run some code to make the change, and add it to the historical tracking where it is all summarized.

I'm trying to Create a pivot chart from Data. I've attached a sample of the data I'm using. What happens when i try to create a chart is test 1-9 get assigned to Open which is fine. I can then drag Open to the position in the chart i want using the layout feather. I could then uncheck test 7 if i didn't want it or whatever. I want that same process to run horizontally for the numbers from 1-10 to go under the header WW so that i can unclick any WW that i don't want in the chart if you get my meaning. I included an example of what i'm talking about. Sheet 1 contains the raw data and Sheet 5 contains a small explanation.

I have to run the file for each customer as i have to quote for contracts, so a product price can vary between customers. I have attaced an file with how the products are exported and how they look. The problem is that the products are exported in the sheet "Price Listing" but I want them to look like the layout in sheet "Final Looks". I have only included a sample of products as there are hundreds of products and about 10 department hierarchys.
