In a financial environment we have a calculator which uses iteration to allow for a cost being added to loan amount where the cost is based on the total loan amount. Iteration is set to 100 iterations with max change .001
On one PC the first time the calculator is opened it gives a particular (incorrect) result. If the input cells are cleared and the data re-entered, it gives the correct result. This only happens on one particular PC. Is there some other setting , other than the iteration setting, that would cause this?
i. I currently have a spreadsheet which is used to forecast resource cost for a project. The forecasted cost is calculated on a few factors - rate, allocation, contract start and end date, and expected days worked per month. One of the mods actually helped me out with this a few weeks ago.
I now have been told that there is a possibility that certain resource costs may change in the new year and that will need to be reflected in the sheet whilst keeping the historic information.
For example - XXX has a rate of £200 p/d, allocation is 1, working 18.83 days p/m and is working from 01/01/09 to 01/06/09. The current formula will work out his cost per month until contract end. Now say his rate will be changed to £150 p/d from the 01/03 and all other info remains the same, I need the sheet to calculate his revised cost from 01/03 onwards and not change the calculation previous to that month.
Now Ive actually managed to figure that part out myself by adding in two columns (over-ride rate and over-ride date) using a nested IF statement. The only problem is that if the new rate starts mid month then it will still calcuate the original amount for the full month and the revised amount from the next month.
Edit - Also, could someone advise as to how do I remove my old attachments as I have almost used up my allocation.
I need to make an automated way of extracting a list of IDs and the associated cost by a date range, say 6/1/2015 to 12/31/2015, plus the starting letter of the ID. I need the data to then fill a form where it can be sub-totaled. There are several additional columns of data that are not relevant so I know I can create a pivot table and then filter the data, but then I need to copy and paste the filtered data into the form. Is there a way to do this without me copy and pasting everytime?
I added a test worksheet to show the data and form.
How would I create a simple user form to display a price based off the category selected.
User types in List Price, then selects 1 of 4 discount categories, it then displays that price. An added bonus would be copying that price to another sheet, but not necessary..
When the value 1 occurs in col M row .. (it will only occur once in each time block) and N1 on the same row has the highest value [ 1 and 48.3 above] put 1 in column O on the same row else a 0.
If 1 occurs in column N (time block X) and the value in N is not the highest then store a 0.
This needs to be done for each time block.
It feels like this can probably done by an If or vlookup type of routine but I can't come up with one that works across blocks of times.
I would like a lookup that takes multiple criteria and that is not an array formula! Unfortunately I decided to use array formulae and my spreadsheet went to over 45mb!! Not good. I've searched the forum for an answer to my questions but couldn't find any! I've attached a spreadsheet as an example. The examples I am using have {Sum(IF)} formulae in it (array) and I would like to change those to others that will not increase the file size so much and will not take too long to calculate.
Basically, I would like a lookup that will return me the Amount Paid and Full Cost based on the person's name and the date. the data and the results table are both on separate sheets. It would be nice to bring that file's size back down to less than 4mb!!
I'm trying to make a worksheet where I can calculate the cost of a mobile postpaid subscription. It is charged per minute and the cost differs depending on which of the 2 available networks the customer is calling to. The first 20 minutes are free, not depending on network.
Edit: Charges to network A is 1,79,- per minute after the first 20 minutes are spent. Charges to network B is 2,29,- per minute after the first 20 minutes are spent.
To sum up: 1. The customer makes a call. 2. If there there are available free minutes, these should be spent first. 3. The customer is charged per minute, depending on network called.
1 - 8 hrs = $55 9 - 24 hrs = $55 + $65 or $120 Anything over 24 hrs - $65 for each additional (24 hrs) ($185)
So if you were locked up for 6 hrs it is $55. If you were locked up for 18 hrs it is $120. If you were locked up for 28 hrs it is $185. And if you were locked up for 49 hrs it is $250. Cell F5 contains number of hours locked up - I would like cell I5 to calculate the cost of the stay. I am proud of myself for figuring out the date and time subtraction - but this part has me stumped.
I have an excel table that among other fields it has a [product Charge] field.. what im trying to do is to get a cost per row based on the [Product Charge] field.. so example if I have 10,000 rows and the total for that field is 1,000,000 the cost should be 100 ( [Product Charge] / total rows).... I then want to be able to use it in a pivot table...
im working on a VoIP company, and having a hard time to figure out a result on a little time.
the problem is finding a "least cost routing" wherein you will find the cheaper to higher price, and putting the results on a designated columns:
I am including an image, sorry if the image seems to be heavy and large:
as you can see: Column C contains the sale rate for the client, while Columns D to I, are the buy rates from our source carriers.
While the columns K to P, are the columns where should one source carrier should be fitted base on the buy rates, that is best fitted to the sale rate.
Red marks=are not suitable or non-profitable buy rate for the sale rate.
Sorry for the bad english, but i hope you get what i mean. this is only a sample from our Internal data.
i have a project and i am making a spreadsheet for a make believe green grocers. i have a retail price and a whole sale price
to work out the retail price i need to sue this forumula
retail price = wholesaleprice + x% of wholesale price
im stuck, what i have done is declared the percent value on the page, which can be changed at any time, how do i then substitue this value in to the formula (and most importantly, what is the formula!)
how and where to navigate on the website to mark all my posts solved. Sometimes I don't see the edit button, I don't know how to list all my posts, etc.
I've searched for this in the forums but can't find anything. I need to find/replace a character in Excel, it's a question mark in a box and looks like this
I've tried searching for special characters (using the ALT key and number pad) but I can't find anything matching this.
When I save the spreadsheet as a CSV (TAB delimited) this character gets picked up as a TAB, but when I try find replace on the TAB character it doesn't work!
I have to manually enter the code nos. of the hard copy to find the code in the soft copy. After finding the number, I wish to mark it as so that double work should not be done or to find which code's hard copy is not with me.
I am using Find and Replace to find the number and after it is found I have to click the replace tab to enter colour in it.
Is there any auto function to mark as soon as I find the required number instead of clicking the replace tab to save my time.
I'm wondering how to display the following cost model on a graph (this is a piecewise-linear cost model for some production company):
Cost per unit for 0-10 units: $1 Cost per unit for 11-20 units: $3 Cost per unit for 21-30 units: $5 Cost per unit for 31-40 units: $8 Fixed cost: $100 (this is regardless of the number of units produced)
Basically I'm looking to construct a cost vs units graph.
I am trying to figure out how to update cost from a manufacturers price sheet in excel. I have one worksheet that has the manufacturer's part number and my current cost. A=item number B= current cost. on the second sheet is the same setup but my price list has roughly 3500 rows and the vendor price sheet is 23000 rows. Is there a way to automate the cost replacement by comparing item number and if they are the same replacing cost on sheet one with cost on sheet two?
The job cost controller is not exactly what I need, so I have been trying to create my own. So far my progress has got me to be able to separate each laborer for each job.
Here is my query: I have a drop down menu that lists ten different tasks(i.e. carpentry, painting, demo, etc.) and I want each of the ten tasks to separate themselves. Is this a vlookup function? How do I make excel listen?
I am compiling a simple worksheet that will keep an ongoing track of labour costs in a production environment. The objective is to end up with a labor cost "per unit" for packing punnets of soft fruit.
The source data I have is;
1 - Start time and end time of the job
2 - Any breaks taken during the job
3 - The number of staff it took to do it
4 - The status of the staff (Supervisor, temp, etc) and their hourly pay rates
5 - The number of punnets packed.
With all of the above it should be a relatively simple exercise to calculate the cost per unit (and with a calculator is!). My problem appears to be that I am not formatting something correctly, because when I try to calculate the costs for the employees' my costs are obviously wrong. I have attached my early draft for reference, in the example shown I am showing that a supervisor earning £7.50 an hour worked for 1 hour 15 mins at a cost of £0.39
Example number 1: You invested 10.000 Dollar in the year 1985 into a tempelton fund and waited 20 years. Result can be seen at many forums and stock plattforms
Example number 2: In 1985 you had no 10.000 Dollar, but only 100 Dollar a month. You invested this 100 Dollar each month for 20 years.
How big will the difference be between example 1 and 2 ?
*** Background. If a "share" will cost 100 Dollar, you will get 1 share for 100 Dollar. Next month share is down to 50 Dollar, you will get 2 shares for your monthly 100 Dollar. Next month share is up at 200 Dollar, you will get only a half share for your 100 Dollar. Its called cost average effect.
Tool should allow "play arround", to simulate various scenarios, talking into account growth rate, time period, monthly investment, fluctuation of a theoretical share. Idealy we would love to " import" e.g. famous fund history (eg. Tempelton, Pioneer) etc. to see how investment would have developed when a steady monthly payment would have been made.
I am trying to create a simple formula to extract cost from a total that includes both cost and and a percentage for maintanance. Assume $100, 10% of which is maintenance the remainder is cost. If I just subtract 10% from $100 I get $90, however 10% of $90 is $9 which equals $99.
I am making a rough gantt chart in excel for a project schedule. Japanese at work love excel fro some reason that is why I am trying to do this. I have column headings for days ( 3/3, 3/4, 3/5, etc) and I want to find a way to mark the intersection when a date is input in another row. I tried to do some conditional formatting using symbols, but couldn't get anything to work.
see picture. I want to mark at correct date according to column headings when date is placed in column E or F. This example shows column E with 3/10 so I want to make a value appear at intersection AS and the row 3/10 is on. Would like to get a symbol to appear there if possible.
Is there a way to set a cell so if you click it, an "X" will be in the cell and if you click it again it will clear? Specifically I am looking to do this in the "1st Trip" column on the attached. I was going to use a check box but the appear to small and it does seems as though in Excel 2003 the size can be adjusted?
