Counting Initials And Dates

Nov 28, 2009

I'm new to the forums, though I've solved a couple of my problems by lurking here.
I'm currently having a problem with a worksheet I've been working on at work. I'm not very experienced in Exel and have inherited a worksheet that keeps track of the machines we do maintenance on during the year. What I have now is a spreadsheet with columns alternating between initials and date, and rows with the machine names all the way down. It looks similar to this :

Name of machine Initials date initials date initials date initials date etc.
machine 1
machine 2
machine 3
machine 4
...
machine 121

I'd like to keep this format, but we need to keep track of who does what within a certain week, which means I need to count the number of instances of an initial, then compare it with the date in the column next to it, which I don't think would be a problem with just two columns, but I'm having problems wrapping my brain around how to do so with 20-30 columns.
I'm using date ranges in some of my calculation formulas, which I think necessitates the date being in a separate column than the text.

First Name-Last Name To Last Name-First Name Some With Middle Initials

Mar 8, 2008

An application I use at work exports names in a first name-last name format. At this point I have a list of about 315 names in this format. Is there a way I can convert these names to a last name-first name format? I need to export these data on a daily basis, so I'll need to perform this conversion every day. I did a search for this, but didn't find anything.

Concatenate Initials And Surnames

Apr 20, 2007

I have 2 columns of Surnames and Initials and I am trying to concatenate an initial (if required) with a surname or return a “blank” if the cell(s) is empty, in other words in cell AC20 I have a surname Smith and in AG20 an initial A which I only enter into the cell if there are identical surnames but when the cells are blank I wish to return a blank not a zero.

I have tried =IF( COUNTBLANK(AC20:AG20)=2,"",AG20&""&AC20) and =IF(AG20="",AC20,IF(AC20>"",AG20&" "&AC20)) but the first one won’t return the initial and the last one works but both return a zero when blank.

Counting Dates/Days

Oct 9, 2007

a count formula.

Right, Column A on my sheet is the date that the work was completed. First thing is I need to be able to count how much work was completed per month. (I dont know why we have it all in one big sheet rather than monthly sheets but thats too logical!)

Secondly, column I is the number of days that piece of work took to complete. I need to be able to have a formula that looks at the month the work was completed, then total up the number of days that the work took.

(Example, if I have three bit of work completed in October, 1 took a total of 20 days, 1 took 15 and 1 took 10 it would = 45 days)

I know that this should be possible as I've had Excel doing more complex formulas than this.

Formula To Create Name Initials Where Last Name Listed First

Aug 3, 2014

I am looking to create a formula to get the initials of a name, where the the last name is listed first, followed by a comma.
Now, the names could be full names or initials.

So, it could be something like: Smith, John R - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert Michael - result would be JRMS There were similar formulas that I found here, but these only got the last letter of the last name - in this case the following formulas would have resulted (with the above examples) in: JTS or the last example with Michael, JLS.

=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",2)))+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))
=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))

Note: While I am using Excel 2010, there could be users that are still using 2003.

Deleting Middle Initials In A Spreadsheet

Sep 8, 2009

I just bought a database and I would say at least 20% of the names in the database have an initial after the first name. I need to have a clean first and last name list. Is there a formula that can delete the initials? I am working on a variable data print project that uses their first name in the message so I cannot have their middle initial.

So like in one example her first name is listed as Susan F. I want it to just be Susan. Another example is T. Jones as a last name, I want it to be just Jones.

Counting Weeks INVOLVED Between 2 Dates

Nov 3, 2008

I've been having problems coming up with a formula that will take a start date and an end date and come up with the number of weeks INVOLVED within this date range (each week being a Sunday through Saturday).

My problems is that the start and end dates could be any day of the week and not necessarily the same day (meaning divisible by 7 doesn't always work). I tried using ROUND((A2-A1)/7,0)+1 where A1 was the start date...and A2 was the end date.

The problem I had was if I picked a Monday as the start date, and went 12 days out (The saturday of week2)...it came up stating 3 weeks were involved - AND if I selected a Friday start date and picked the following monday in week 2 - the result was 1 week involved when 2 different weeks were involved.

Counting Dates That Fall Within A Certain Month

Jan 23, 2009

I have items arriving on certain dates (the dates are listed in column N)

In the cell to the right of each month, I want to have a formula that will count the dated cells in column N that fall under each month.

i.e. In cell B5, next to January, I want to display the total number of cells that contain a date in January (ultimately giving me the number of items that arrive in January) the number would read '5' because there are 5 dates in January that are in the list.

Comparing Dates And Counting Based On Value

Feb 14, 2012

Any easy formula to compare two columens of fixed dates and count how many of each fall within a certain range of each other.

So, for example:

Col 1 Col 2
20/1/11 21/1/11
20/1/11 31/1/11
18/1/11 24/1/11

Lets say col one is a start date and col 2 is an end date. Now say I want to count the number of times the end date falls within8 days of the start

I would have thought that something as simple as

Code:
sumproduct(--(a1:a3<(b1:b3+8))

would work, but clearly I am making a fundamental error, and no matter what I try I'm getting stuck.

Pin / Password For Digital Signatures / Initials In Excel

I have QC checklist with a cell at the bottom for the user's initials. We have 8 users, and I would like to create a way that each user can enter their pin and have their initials come up in the cell. Ideally, there would be no way to the other users to know each other's pins or find out in the spreadsheet. Do you think it is do-able using VBA and how they would approach this?
