I've seen a lot of other posts on here regarding referencing a COUNTIF statement to a cell instead of a value (like this: =COUNTIF(B7:E7,"<=" & B10), but need to do it for text instead of numbers. This is basically what I've got:
A
B
C
Missy 342
Missy
4
[Code].....
Column B is created using a search function, and returning only the Missy or Mike, (using a search function, which I know how to do), and then I want the counts to populate in column C based on how many times either Missy or Mike pops up in the range.
Problem is, when I try and write a formula like =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$9,VALUE(E2)) it doesnt work, but if I put in =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$9,"*Missy*") it works (of course).
Is there any way to get it to reference the text in the cell since the text in the search criteria will constantly change?
I have a list of headings and items and I have a set of formulas that work out depending on the heading what items are listed.
Say theres 10 items and the heading starts at C4 and that heading has 10 items, so it puts "C5" as text in G1 and "C15" as text in G2 so i now know my cell range of items
How can i use the text in those cells to put in a formula to call that as a range?
If I use the indirect formula it shows me the value of the cell, but im after using it to reference the cell
I'm trying to create a VB Script for an AS/400 app. It's all written but I'm trying to feed the data for part from an excel file. If B5 was 10 I need the final output in my cell to read:
autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys "10"
Here is my current formula ="autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys"""""&B5*100&"""""" It's reading as autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys""10"" which has two sets of quotes not just one and no space between sendkeys and "10"
A6 is a month column and looks like this "Jan-08" the '3107', '3207', '4107', etc. are the names of specific sheets, so I'm summing over multiple sheets.
I am wanting to convert a cell reference text "=$A$1" to an actual cell reference =$A$1
Manually I can go through each cell and click F2 + Enter and Excel automatically changes it.
I have tried recording a macro whereby I click through each cell with F2 + Enter but the VBA writes the actual formula "=$A$1" rather than the process. This does not work as the cell reference is variable.
I'm NOT wanting an external cell to convert it for me i.e. INDIRECT(CELL) because I am wanting to copy the answer to another independent spreadsheet
I'm NOT wanting to paste values i.e. return the answer from cell $A$1 because I want the cell reference to remain within the cell.
I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.
I am building a summary spreadsheet which will bring in a number of values from other spreadsheets located in folders on a network. Each set of external references will return the same cells, but the location and filenames are different. In order to make it quick and easy to modify the file names and locations without having to change the cell references in my summary sheet i want to type the full reference in a cell as text then use this in another cell as part of the external reference...
I'm in the leadup to my A2 ICT controlled conditions piece where i have to make an Excel system. My chosen subject for this is to use the school house points system. I'm going to make a system where the results of house matches are inputted and points are awarded accordingly.
I just have a couple of queries after looking at my initial designs.
1. Is it possible to get excel to look through a sheet, find a text reference, then bring up something in a cell located in the same row? For example, for it to locate one of the House team names, then go along the row and find the ammount of house points they have in order to make a total for them. Is this also possible over a number of sheets? (In order to keep a running total on a separate sheet). E.G. House, Games Played, Wins, Losses, Draws, House Points
2. For the house cross country event they use a different system which differs from everything i have designed. What i basically need to do is be able to use a drop down against each finishing position where you can select one of the four house teams, then it takes the points won for that finishing position and puts them into a table.
Here is a made up scenario which tries to emulate my query:
I have a spreadsheet with two tabs - one called Model and the other called Prod. In the Prod tab, I have the following text entered in single cell - A1
My name is I was born in I Live in
What I would like to do is add cell values from the Model tab at the end of each line. For example;
My name is JOE I was born in 1915 I Live in AUSTRALIA
I tried the following but it didn't work.
My name is Model!A1 I was born in Model!A2 I Live in Model!A3
I believe it didnt work was because the cell starts of with text rather than a formula
I am not sure if this is possible, but worth a shot. I am using a countif function to count a cells and I want it to count only if it has text, followed by a space then more text. I've been able to count the text only followed by a space, but cant figure in the more text part.
I have multiple items (Country Names) in cells exported from another database with what appear to be delimiters (semicolons) that cannot be counted. I want to count the number of items (Countries) separated by the delimiters. Is there a simple way to do this?
Column 1 fields: TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA; BELGIUM;HUNGARY;SWEDEN;ITALY;POLAND;SLOVAKIA; CANADA; BELGIUM;HUNGARY;SWEDEN;ITALY;POLAND;SLOVAKIA;CANADA; INDIA;BRAZIL;DENMARK;GREECE;POLAND;MOLDOVA, REPUBLIC OF;HUNGARY;UNITED STATES;UNITED KINGDOM;
Result needed in Column 2: 2 6 1 7 9
What is the formula needed to get the Column 2 result?
A B Apples 1 Apples 1 Bananas 1 Carrots 0 Carrots 0 Donut 1 Donut 1 Donut 1 Donut 1 Egg 1 Fish 0
I would like a to create a function in one cell that counts the unique text values in column A, but only when there is a corresponding 1 in column B. So the answer in the above example would be 4 (Apples, Bananas, Donut, Egg).
I need a formula which I am using to count instance of sickness. I include a sample copy of my data which I hope will make my request clearer! I'm currently using the below formula to count the number of continuous instances of any code starting with "SICK" =(SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)="SICK")*(LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)<>(LEFT(C$10:C$37,4)))))
I would also like this formula to count any code starting with LTS as well (Long Term Sick). Due to the nature of sickness there may be continuous periods where both SICK and LTS codes are used, at the moment I can not come up with a formula to return the value I need. These columns may contain other codes but for simplicities sake I have only shown the relavent ones.
I need to count the number of Carriage returns in a string of text in a group of merged cells also I need to add a carriage return after the 1024 character because I have the wrap text on. My overall goal is have copy text fit into a group of merged cells without any being cut off by excel.
I am using Excel to tabulate votes for a contest. Judges have given a number to each entry, and but certain judges' opinions need to count twice as much as other judges' opinions based on their qualifications.
I've attached the file to help illustrate what I'm trying to do. Morris's votes need to count twice for all Photography or Web Design entries, and Clark's votes need to count twice for all Graphic Design or Web Design entries.
I know I can do this manually by simply copying the number into a blank cell in another column (like the blank column between Morris and Clark's names), but is there any way to make Excel do this for me?
One has numbers the other has "YES" or is blank. I want a formula to look at the second column and where there is a "Yes" then count the number in the same row in the first column.
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D 1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date 2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan 3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3) 4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I want to apply conditional formatting to a range, but only to the number of rows in the sheet (to avoid formatting blank rows). I am not sure how to insert the row count into the range select.
NumRows = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A1:A65536")) gives me the number of rows, but how do I get that into
Range("A5:F18").Select
18 being the number I want to substitute the row count for.
If I have a cell that has as its contents as sheet name, is there anyway I can use the cell's address to reference that sheet?
As an example, say I have in Sheet1, cell A1, the text Sheet2. And let's say I want to return the value of cell B2 on whichever sheet the text of A1 says. So, on Sheet1, I might have this:
I have a problem using indirect in a counta function. Basically, I want to count the number of used cells in a range. However, there would be insertions to the rows (using the insert row) on top of the range.
my function is now =counta(indirect(" events database"!"A"&M22&":A"&M500)
However, this formula returns an error. What have I typed wrongly?
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code: =COUNTA(ABC!A:A) What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB ABC CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
