I have data (coming straight out of another system, so whilst is seems messy, its the easiest way to have it in Excel).... where there are a number of rows (one for each employee) - then every column represents a date in the month (so there are about 30 columns)....the cells contain a number of hours worked by that employee for that day.
I have figured out how many hours they worked for each day of the week, but my client now wants to know:
for each employee - how many Mondays did they work?- how many Tuesdays? and so on
I am happy to figure out the day of the week for the first date in the month and then manual set up another column heading above the date that tells me what day it is - but I feel that Excel may actually be able to work out what day of the month it is - although the dates come across from the other system as text - April 26, 2006 etc...
So I would like a summary in my sheet that has column headings Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun and then for each row for each employee - I would like the number of days that employee worked for the month by these Days of the Week.
I have looked at Count if - but I need to be able to select the range of cells to count, and also the range of cells to evaluate for the criteria and I cant figure it out!
My problem is that the sequence of Colunms in my worksheet, with the similar data, keep changing. For example, an "Employee Name" may appear in column 3 or 5 etc. For this reason, I want to select a cell within any column by its heading rather than "A", "B", "C" etc. For example, I want to select a cell as below:
Cells(5, "SN").Select
- which of course is not accepted by Excel
Similarly, I want to use Range with a column by its heading.
Or
I will like to know the Column number for the column with the heading "SN", for example.
I have range like (3E:3K) in this range are only 2 different expressions. "Result and " forecast". I wanna look from left to right for the first cell with the string "forecast". And than I want to work with the column of this cell, only this column.
How do i do that?
Edited I corrected the coordinates. I want to look in a specific column line (Nr.3) from there the first Cell with "Forecast" and from that String the row number.
They following 4 posts were based on wrong informations by me.
I'm trying to find the largest number in a row and then have the column heading (text) as the result. I can find the largest number by using =max(numb1, numb2 ....) but then how do I get the heading of the column as the result. An example of what I want to happen is below
Red Green Blue Orange Yellow Result
2 4 3 6 1
[code]...
I anticipate an issue where 2 columns have the same largest number and not sure how to over come this either with multiple answers
I have data in a column (G) consisting of zero and ones. I would like to count the number of clusters of the number 1 in the data. For example in the data below there are 8 ones. But instead, I need to calculate how many groups of 1s occur. So in the case below the group of 1s = 3.
In terms of what defines a group. Whenever there is a zero either before or after the occurance of a 1 constitues a group, i.e the groups are broken out by zeros.
I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so
1st Group of columns range Columns AJ through AX Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"
2nd Group of columns range AY though CE Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"
Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.
The yellow highlighted column F (each Reason) in the sheet2 to be placed as main header in the next column and so on as seen in the sheet 3
If they have two similar item number with 2 different reasons - delete the duplicate item number and place the number in each column according to its reason as seen on row 16 on the sheet3
If they have two number with similar reason - just sum up the number
I have an excel spread sheet with several rows of 265 (9A-IV) columns each with a heading. I would like to transpose the worksheet columns so that the heading is placed in Column A against the corresponding that is placed in column B. For example
How to get the Column Alphabet based on the Data it contains or the Column Heading using VBA?
Is it possible to get the Column Alphabet using any Macro or any function that within a Module it can always take the New Column Name during Execution..
Example: I have certain Columns where I have Yes and No Tick using the Wingdings P and Y.. Now these Columns are alternately Placed and there are six columns in all and they are spread over 12 Columns as the Alternate COlumns is reserved for Manual Entries.
Now I intend to increase the Manual Entry Columns but the problem is that every time I do that I need to make changes in my VBA Code.
Is it possible that even when the Columns are Inserted or Deleted in between before or after these columns I dont need to change the Explicit references by changing some approach.
I am not fuly conversant in VBA but use it whenever things are not completely feasible with Formulas AFTER GOOGLING.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("X3:X13")) Is Nothing Then ' You can Change the range here Cancel = True
[Code]....
As you can see the Ranges are Alternately Placed and there are about 6 such Columns with the above TICKS..
Now, how do I keep it FLoating so that even after changing the COlumn Location it does not need to get Updated i.e. X and Z Column Alphabets..
I have a spreadsheet that I want to use to plan projects across days and I want to assign a task to any one of four people. there maybe more than one task in any project that the same person may be assign to. Want I want to do is count how many assignments they have on that day. I've tried using things like vlookup, row(), hlookup and a various combinations of these with countif, or maybe dcount, I'm just not sure, but I think I'm finding it too tricky.
I've uploaded the sheet here..[URL] .....
So in other words how many tasks does person y have if the x is on their row. The person is a data validated drop down list so if the person changes from y to b then this will effect the total at the bottom.
In need checking if a particular ID number is repeated more than once in column B. I need to write a formula in each cells of "No.of Repetition" column or Column C to check if respective ID number in column B is repeated more than once and display the count or display a condition true or false.
If you can see the example spreadsheet that has been uploaded, I need VBA to try and count how many times the number 1, 2 or 3 occurs in the column A and give that figure in b15, 16 and 17 respectively. I also need it count the number of times a particular product appears in column B and give those figures in b19, 20 and 21.
I have a 70x70 table where I teased out the largest 20 values. I'd like to utilize a formula to deliver the column headings (as well as the row) headings for each of these 20 values. VLookup and HLookup don't seem to work for me, and Index/Match seems to only work for single columns.
It might be worth mentioning that is highly unlikely that any of the values in the table are repeated.
I'm really tired of searching manually for the column containing a heading, as I have many columns. Isn't there a "simple" way to make a dropdown containing all the column headings in row 1, and upon selecting the heading of interest, have excel "go to" that column (maybe using a Find macro)?
I'm trying to enter info in a cell based on what is entered in two other cells.
So I have a dropdown box for the species on another sheet as well as a dropdown box for rail sizes. Then I have to crossreference them to come up with an upcharge number. Sorry for my basic lingo. I hope it's understandable.
I have a row of Headers A1 thru AO18. What I'm trying to do is have a small macro to go out and find "template" whichever column it may be in and insert a column to the left. I can make Excel insert the column to the left but obviously I can't have a fixed column designation because it will keep moving to the right of it and it won't work anylonger or I should say it doesn't put the column where I want it.
I need to count the number of non blank cells in a column and add a text string to the result to show, for example, "75 Clubs" as the result. I have tried "=Count(A1:A90) + Clubs" but this does not work.
Let's say I have data that looks like this grid below. Each color represents a column heading and each number is a data point within that column.
Blue Red Green Yellow 18 27 15 36 56 41 3 22
Can I write a formula that would do the following 2 things with the data in this format:
1. Find the max of the data...simple =Max(...) formula 2. Use the max to return the column heading. In this case the max is 56 so the value I want to return is "Blue"
