I'm feeling pretty inadequate at the moment ... I'm trying to determine something that (I think) would be relatively simple ... How do I determine if a single column , for example, (B:B) is blank (or null)? Alternatively, how do I determine if a range of cells in a column or columns, for example, (B1:B30) or (B1:D30) is blank (or null)?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a formula to determine the oldest date in a range of cells. BUT, the part that's kicking me in the pants here, is that the range will change.
In column D, I have a person's name. The number of times that person's name will appear will change every time I run this formula. In column F, I have a date & time. I'm looking for a formula that will determine the oldest date/time associated with that person.
Ok so my named range looks like this:
[Code]....
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
[Code]....
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.
I can count the blank cells withiin a range using
=COUNTBLANK(C6:AD2506)
But I dont want it to count the cells if the entire row, within that cell, i.e. C6:AD6, is blank.
It should only count the blank cells within a row if there has been some data entered on that row..provided it has been entered within the specified range.
I am using Excel 2010 and basically i am trying to fill a range of cell with a green color if any value was enter in a specific cells. Example: I would like to fill range: A10:c13 with a green color (regardless of the cells content in this range) if a value was entered in cell C10 or C11 or C12 or C13.
I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.
I have data in some of the cells within range A26:A39
These cells are populated via an IF function on another worksheet. Even though the cells appear blank (as in the value returned is ""), there is a formula in these cells. I think it's called formula blank?
I am looking for a way to copy the data from the cells within the range which are not blank (ie: not = "") and paste this data elsewhere on the sheet in a list with no blank spaces in between.
I anticipate that there will be 4 non blank cells within this range.
Ideally I would have data from the nonblank cells copied and pasted to cells

I'm trying to develop a new daily timesheet for my production workers, where non-production items are recorded in 15 minute intervals. The user would put in "Clock in" by the corresponding time, and the same for "Clock out" at the end of the day. Any non-production items will be type in next to their appropriate time. Since clock in and clock out times will vary, I need to set up a formula that searches the array of cells for the day, finds the "Clock in" and "Clock out" values, and counts any blank cells in between them. Basically the blank cells will equal production time, and the result of the Count function will be multiplied by 0.25 to get the hours.
I am having a very difficult time finding a way to set the "Clock in" and "Clock out" cells as the range for the Count function, because it won't always be the same cells. What would be the best way to automatically have excel find the cells containing these values and set them as the range criteria for a Count function?
The formula at the bottom was one of my initial attempts, but it didn't work. I took out the '=' for the screenshot, so that wasn't the problem.
I am trying to determine that if a range of cells are marked with an "X", then cells containing "Pass" (A4), Pass with Opportunity for Improvement (A6)or "Fail" (A8) will be marked with an "X". I have 3 columns that are selectable for Pass, Fail, and Non-Applicable. There are a total of thirteen questions that this evaluation form asks, and the evaluator must check one box. In order to be considered a Pass, there must be more 12 or more "X"'s marked in the Pass column. A Pass with Opportunity for Improvement would be equal to 11 marked in the Pass column, and a Failure would be 10 or less showing up in the Fail column. If there is a check in the non-applicable section, this has to be figured into thye pass fail as well. A Pass would be 85% or higher, and failure anything less than this. I will attach the file for review. I would very much appreciate help on this problem first, and then there is one other element to the sheet that plays in at the end.

This formula counts how many dates in the range match the month in cell (Q3). How do I get this formula to to not count empty cells. I keep getting $VALUE! as my answer when I include all the cells in the range.
This is the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(P20:P976-DAY(P20:P976)+1=DATE(YEAR(Q3),MONTH(Q3),1)))
This is the formula in the cells of the range that is being used above:
=IF(D26="","",IF(F26"",F26,IF(I26"",I26,IF($Q$3"",$Q$3))))
I needed this formula to leave the cell blank if all the data cells were blank that's why I have =IF(D26="","", at the begining.
I seem to be 'search challenged' today - I'm sure this is easy. How does one count the number of non-blank cells in a range using VBA?

I have X amount of cells (formulasheet) , these are used to input data, which is then summarized into a sheet on the same file. I'm trying to find a code that forces the user to fill out all the fields. If the user do not, the "submit button" will not proceed, at least not work. Almost like a forum registrating, where it is required to fill it all some mandatory fields in order to proceed.

Is there anyway that are code can be written "if the cell(s) is FALSE (nothing in the cell) then display message.
I have a spreadsheet which always contains data beginning in column A and through row H. However, there may be blank cell(s) in columns B through G. Therefore, if I use

I've used this site for help many times, but this was the first time I couldn't find the answer to my question through searching. I've looked all over this site & elsewhere, tried 2 dozen different solutions, and nothing seems to work.
I've used a budgeting spreadsheet for years, which lets me plan bills weekly according to paychecks. For each month, going down the "Expenses" column, there lists are seperated by when they'll occur. So there may be three blank cells, then electric bill, mortgage, blank, blank, cable bill, blank, cell phone, blank, gasoline.
On the checkbook worksheet, I want to enter a drop down box for the Expenses. The problem is, every solution I've found for doing this is aimed at eliminating blank spaces at the end of the list. This by necessity has to have blank spaces throughout the list, but I would like them to disappear in the drop down menu.
Using formula rather than VB, I would like to calculate the number of blank cells that appear in a column BEFORE the first active cell but exclude any blank cells that appear after the first active cell. To elaborate, I have sheets that contain the days of each month and I need to exclude for other calculation purposes, the number of days (cells) where no entry of data has been input at the beginning of a month, NOT after the first data entry. ie. September has 30 days.
The first data entry is the 10th and there are no entries (thus far) after the 10th, the result that I seek, will be 20 (although only one cell has data), being the days left in the month AFTER the first entry. I have looked at COUNT functions but cannot find an solution. Perhaps it's not possible using basic formula?

I want to count the blank cells in a range of data from C4 to I4

I am using Excel 2003. I have a range that I have defined in my sheet called "March". Within this sheet, I have a range name called "ACCOUNTRANGE". Basically it comprises the column B10:B200. Within this range, I may be inserting rows so range is dynamic. Well one of my problems is finding BLANK Entries in my range. How do I loop through the range to find BLANK entries and prompt the user that a BLANK entry was found, then it stops the loop and if none is found, nothing happens and continues on.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I make this to work with dynamic range instead running for complete column? For example: Run this code until last active cell in Column A. Column A will always has value so if cell A25 is last active cell in range then this code should stop executing for column R25. So execution of this code would depend on active cell in column A.
Columns("R:R").Select
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Selection.Cells
If Cell.Value = True Then ' if true do nothing
Cell.Value = ""
ElseIf Cell.Value = False Then ' if false change to Null
Cell.Value = "Null"
End If

I am having the same problem as this thread Dynamic Ranges with blank cells.
I've recently been pointed in the direction of dynamic ranges (named ranges that use OFFSET and COUNTA to expand to cover the whole of a list, even if the number of rows used is frequently changed).
They seem to have a big drawback, in that the range will not go to the bottom of the list if the list has blank cells in (because the COUNTA for the column of interest does not equal the number of rows in the list).
A typical named range might look like this:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$25),1)
I tried to post in it but it's too old.
I have been to the link posted in that thread about advanced dynamic named ranges but inserting a row with numbers in it and then hiding it is not suitable for me as i deal with other peoples spreadsheets so need to always be working with the Active Sheet.
In my current sheet, I have a button which pastes the contents of the user's clipboard into cell A20. The data that is being pasted is a simple, single-column range of data that may or my not contain blank cells. When this button is clicked, the user's clipboard should already have data.
Some of these pasted ranges may go from A20:A40, A20:A60, or even A20:A73. The point is, the length of the pasted information is variable.
I am looking for VBA code which can look at the recently pasted range in A20:AX, find blank cells, and remove them. Here is my current code (very simple), which is only the paste function:
