I'm trying to do a Data Validation list where there is a range from A1:A10 named List, but there are only values in A1:A5.
For the drop down menu, I've done the Data Validation and List, and made it =List. The problem with that is, I only want the drop down to give the options if there is a value (A1:A5 not all of A1:A10). I thought that the Ignore blanks feature would do that, but it does absolutely nothing.
In column A I have a list of text. There are blank lines in between the cell that actually contain text. What I am trying to accomplish is create a validation list that will give me only the cells with text in them and ignore the blanks. For example in column A1:A7 I have the following text:
John
Mike
Tony
Jake
My validation list will return those names but will also give me the blanks in between the names.
Is there any way to ignore the blanks?
I want to create a validation list with value comming from formula and I got blanks line. I have to create a dynamic list, I can have 15 possibility and it came from a lookup formula. When I choose the 15 cell with the lookup formula it show the empty cell. I did a exemple of my problem. You can check the attachement to understand my problem in the cell C1.

In column l I have holidays listed.
Is it possuble to use validatio or something that will make it impossible to enter eighter a weekend or a date out of the holiday list?
I have created data validation list which has 3 flags (Yes, No and Blank). Normally the user will select either Yes or No from column C but i want each time there is no value in either row A or B; i want the code to automatically to select Blank. So basically every time row A or B are blank i want the corresponding row C to be selected "Blank". See attached for more details.

I have a data entry worksheet where a user may use the space bar to delete a wrong entry instead of the delete key. How can I allow this without triggering an error message for a cell which is valid for blanks or a positive number including 2 decimals? The checkbox for "Ignore Blanks" does NOT ignore this is the cell is blanked with the space bar.

I need to perform the following calculation:
=FTEST($A$2:$A$30,$B$2:$B$30)
The problem is that this statistical test needs to have pairs and sometimes the ranges won't all be filled or paired. For example, column A may have 15 rows while column B may have 20. So in this case I would need to only add A2 through A15 and B2 through B15.
Is there any any that can be done?

I've come across a problem using the =SUMIF/COUNTIF function in excel. It incorrectly calculates blank cells as zeros.
=SUMIF(D4:D54,"Solar",T4:T54)/COUNTIF(D4:D54,"Solar")
The correct output should be 100%, but shows as 66.67% because of the blank cells in the column. How do I correct this?
I am ranking data using the below formula but if a cell is blank then I would like that cell ignored and only rank cells that contain data

The A2:A10243 is a column containing an id number for the data held in cells IR2:IR10243.
I'm having a tough time writing a formula to return the min value for a particular item while ignoring blanks.

I have the following Conditional Formatting vba code shown below which allows me to format diffrent ranges according to the values in the cell, What I want to be able to do is that if Mycell.value ="" then do not apply the colorindex value, in other words leave any cell in the range which has a null value unchanged.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
' Conditonal format for New hourly report
Dim Mycell As Range
'SL80range formatting
For Each Mycell In Range("sl80range")
Select Case Mycell
Case Is >= 0.8
Mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Case 0.7 To 0.79999
Mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Case 0.00001 To 0.6999
Mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Else
End Select

I'm using the following formula to look at a range of cells and return the most common text entry. The formula works fine as long as there is text; if there are more blank cells than entries, then it returns a 'blank' and my formula cell is empty. How to clean this up so that it ignores blank cells?

I am using Excel 2003.
I have a pivot table in sheet1 and references in sheet2 like
Code:
='Sheet1'!A1
and so on to copy the whole thing to make it the source data for a bubble chart.
Now, I want to convert the table in sheet2 into a list via Ctrl+L to be able to sort by names with a dropdown menu. Unfortunately, I have to copy all rows from 1 to 1000 to account for possible increases in the pivot table size. This results in blanks in the list and when I want to sort it, I have 990 blanks before the first data rows show up. Not very neat
I am having 2 problems with dynamic named ranges. On one hand, I am getting a LOT of duplicates in some ranges and a lack of entries in those ranges that have too many blanks. Here is a sample of the dynamic named range in the first column:
This first range is called "NamedRange_1"
=OFFSET(Data!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(Data!$A:$A)-1,1)
how to eliminate both the duplicates and the blanks?
I have a spreadsheet that is tracking a MTD receivables (running total). When it comes to weekends or day's when their were no receivables the running total needs to reference the last working day or the last receivable entry to perform its calculations for that day.
So in the table below (couldn't post attachment) the first row(1) = days of week , second row (2) = running MTD totals and the 3rd row (reference cells). So for Wednesday I our totals were 9995 which I entered in Row 3 (column A) and called it to Row 2 (column A). For Thursday I called Row 3 (column b which was known and manually entered) and subtracted Row 3 (column A) and populated Row 2 (column b). So my equation to in Row 2 column b is simple as =sum(b2-b1)
This is ok but when the weekend (or days not worked) come in to play you can see it produces a negative for Saturday / Sunday. Saturday took 15,707 and subtracted it from nothing (row 3 column d) since there were no receivables on Saturday.
So I need a formula that will calculate from the last instance while ignoring blank cells.
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday

i have this code which inserts blank rows in alternate rows,
Code:
Sub insertrow()
' insertrow Macro
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim count As Integer
Dim X As Integer
For count = 1 To 20
If activecell.Value "" Then
activecell.Offset(1, 0).Select

what changes should i make in this code to insert rows only when ther are now blank rows. So first time i run, blank rows are already there, and when i update some data at the bottom and re-run it inserts blank rows again.
I have 2 validation boxes. The first is a simple list of 5 options (based on
a 'name' range). The second is a filter of a larger list depending on the
answer in the first box. I have made my 'name' range as big as the largest
list but other lists are quite short. The problem I have it that the drop
down box is showing all the blank cells in my 'name' range.
The bigger problem is that when you select the pull down it highlights the
blank field first instead of the first item on the list so you have to scroll
up. This is a problem as staff think there is nothing on the list. So how do
I either not show the blanks or get the drop down to start at the top of the
list?
Is there any way to exclude the blank in data validation-under validation criteria-lists. an example is include.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........
I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.
So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.
Can I get VLookup to ignore certain data.
My situation is this,
Sheet 1 has
ColumnA Column B
Name Job#
Bob 1234
Bob 1235
Bob 1236
On Sheet 2 I have a combo box so I can pick any name from column A on sheet
one, then I want to use Vlookup, or whatever will work, to show me the Job
numbers that a selected person has worked on. So when I pick "bob" from my
combo box in A1, B1:B3 would display 1234, 1235, 1236.
I have two sheets in my workbook: one holds data (Sheet2), the other processes the data (Sheet1). Sheet2 has temperature data for each hour of every day during the year 1997 - about 9000 rows. Sheet1 averages the temperatures for each day together, and therefore has only 365 rows.
However, some of the data is missing - null values are represented by the value -9999. Sheet1 only averages hourly data if there at least 22 non-null values. If there are fewer than 22 non-null values, a message is written into the cell to indicate such. (See day 119 on Sheet1 in the attached file for an example of this)
I have the formula worked out to this point; however, I'd like to add in one more constraint: if a day has 2 or fewer null values, I still would like to average the data, but omit the null values in the average. (See day 118 on Sheet1 in the attached file for an example of this). My formula so far:
