I have a huge number of excels that are formatted poorly. They basically look like a checkerboard of data. Looks similar to the illistration below. The X's represent Data and the periods blank cells.

Except that this goes on for over 100 columns and 30,000 rows. Each block of data is about 4 to 6 sheets printed. My boss does not want to get any blank sheets, only sheets with data on them.
I can see the pages outlined after I Print Preview. But I really don't wat to Ctrl+Click and set the print area thousands of times. Is there a macro that can do this?
I was thinking something along the line of check the range of cells for each page, and if the page has data in it, then set that page's cell range in Print Area.
I have the attached spreadsheet which makes the question easier to understand. Basically when you read across and down rows and columns, I'd like the intersecting cell to turn red if the horizontal and vertical row columns letters are different. So in the attached B5 is red because B1=A and A5 is B. Where the intersecting cells match in values, the cells will stay white.
I can create a formula to conditionally format one cell to red: =A2<>B1
But I have a large grid and it would mean re-creating each formula for each cell. How to expand it to the whole range?
I created a table where based in several competences anyone can evaluate performance and potential. My issue comes when based on that result (colum Y in "Perf&Pot" Sheet) I want to export that to a nine box matrix (Sheet 2 "grid" in the attached excel). As could be several people in the same box I wasn't able to com up with a formula that solves this.
I work with large spreadsheets. I was hoping that someone would know how to create a macro that will take selected cells in column C and search all of column C for exact duplicate entries. The macro envisioned would let you select cells to test. If a dulicate entry is found I would need the macro to test the cells in column E against one another. If both C & E match exact (if possible maybe display the findings in a pop up box) I would like the macro to ask me if I want to delete the duplicate entry, if yes, delete the entire row. If no, skip it and move to the next one. If C but not E match I would need the macro to ask me if I want to remove thetest cell. if yes, cut out the entire row of the TEST cell and paste it in a new sheet. If no skip it and move on. Am I just dreaming or can this be done. If it can be done, but more info is needed let me know.
I've been trying to get a graph that looks like the image below for a while now and can't seem to get it to appear how I want. I am looking to duplicate it exactly, but the issue I'm having is getting the individual bars to be separate and appropriately spaced.
I have four columns of data, the last column being Date Completed, I'd like to shade the whole row of four cells if the last cell contains a date. I tried to just work on shading if the cell contains anything with conditional formatting using the formula:
=$D$1"" apllied to all my cells and chose green shading and nothing happened.
Here's my problem: I want conditional formatting to show yellow on dates for this month, lite red for cells containing dates this week, and red for any past dates. I figured out all of that, now IF there is a date in the cell to the right, the cell turns green. In other words the cell to the right shows that the action was completed on that date and we are good.
I have a totals spreadsheet that links many other spreadsheets. I need to set up a formula for conditional formatting if the cell is blank (NOT ZERO). I need to ensure that the users are inputting zeros and not leaving the cells blank. I tried this but it's not working: ="IF('[Brown Deer-Q2-08.xls]Week 7'!G13)<"""
I have tried to set up a list of cells to highlight in red any numerical values which are greater than 0 using conditional formatting. This works fine, except that all blank cells are also highlighted in red. Formula is currently: cell value is greater than 0. What do I need to do to ignore the empty cells?
I am looking for a macro that will copy the row above it, to include formatting and formulas, however not the actual contents. I need the row that's being copied to be hidden from view, which is where the problem stems from. The macro is also copying the 'Hide' formatting and I want to exclude that. This is the current macro I am using:
I need to use conditional formatting to recognize blank cells meaning totally blank and not cells with formulas returning 0 what i must use to get this result?
Ok so my project is tracking how many days have passed since a collection notice has been sent. Assuming the case isn't closed, a response from the customer hasn't been received, the case has been assigned to an employee, and assuming the notice was actually sent in the first place.
There are instances where the collections case may have been closed without a response date or any other date and we call that "Administratively Closed."
This is my formula: =IF(OR(CaseStatus="Closed",ISBLANK(NoticeSentDate), ResponseDate""),"",TODAY()-NoticeSentDate)
Problem is, now that I'm trying to conditionally format the ones >60 days, and =45 days WITHOUT getting the "blank" cells to change color too.
I got the one for >60 days: =AND(OR(CaseStatus"Closed", CaseStatus"Unassigned"), Comments "Administratively Closed", DaysPassed>60, ResponseDate="", DateEnteredInDatabase"")
I can't get =45 without having a bunch of cells that appear blank change color too.
I have a spreadsheet where I have a column of dates and I want conditional formatting to highlight the cell red if the date is less than or equal to today but if the cell is blank to do nothing.
At the moment I have the following formatting applied using the "format only cells that contain" option I have cell value less than or equal to =TODAY() except that obviously highlights every cell red that doesn't contain a date. Is there another conditional format I can apply in addition to this that will not highlight the blank cells ?
As a pert of a spreadsheet I have 2 columns (M5:N400) of 400 cells deep. Each cell in these columns contains a formula that counts days, when appropriate. They can end up showing a value of blank, a number between 0 and 5, or any number greater than 5. (But very rarely greater than 30)
If the number is greater than 5 then it means that it has exceeded it's target time and I wish to highlight this with conditional formatting (CF). I have a CF on all cells in both columns that says.
If "The cell value" is "Greater than" "5"... then format the background colour to a pale yellow.
It works, but doesn't work.
If the cell value is 0 to 5 it's unchanged. Good. If the cell value is >5 it changes. Good. BUT, if the cell is blank it also changes. Bad!!!
I assume it is because it is looking at the fact that there is a formula in the cell, even though the displayed value is "". So I tried a second level saying that if the cell is equal to "" then no format, but it still changes.
I have a formula in A56 that adds cells A1:A54. I want to use conditional formatting to highlight A56 if any of the cells in A1:A54 are blank. I am unsure how to do this.
I'm trying to apply conditional formatting (shading) to cells that are left blank.
(Purpose: I am designing a research template for a client to complete with data and want the spreadsheet to show them where they've "missed a bit"!)
(When I go to the conditional formatting box, it asks me to specify when "cell value is"..."between/not between/equal to/not equal to" etc. But there's no option to specify when the cell is blank.)
I have a range of cells with numeric values or blanks. I set up a Conditional Formatting rule with this range selected: New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Format only cells with: Blanks; then I set the formatting to a light green fill and on the Number tab > Category = Custom > Type: "blank"
The blank fields get the light green fill, but no text; that is, the value displayed is still blank.
I go back to edit the CF rule and change Blanks to No Blanks. The results are what I expect: the cells with numbers display the text blank and have a green fill; the blank cells have no fill (white).
This is my testing criteria. I eventually want the empty cells to display 0 (zero). I tried setting Custom > Type: 0 (the number placeholder zero) and Type: "0" (literally the number zero), and neither works.
I have tried this with Format only cells with Cell Value equal to [the address of a blank cell].
I tried to set the value as "" but kept getting =""""; and ="" became ="=""" ???
I have tried this with Use a Formula... using the len()=0, isblank(), and other approaches, all with the same results.
I also made sure the option [x] Show a zero in cells that have a zero value is checked.
With all approaches to identifying the blank cells, they ARE obviously being recognized as blank values: the fill color is being applied to the right cells; and when Not Blank is the criterion (or a negation of a formula), the blank ones are not formatted. But blank cells will not display the text as defined in the Custom Formatting.
And this isn't an issue of "If the cell displays 'blank' it's no longer blank, so the rule doesn't apply" - HERE'S WHY: I set up a second CF rule that sets the Font to red when the value is greater than zero and had this CF rule follow the CF rule for No Blanks (the test above that works). Cells with positive numbers displayed blank in red, cells with zeros or negative numbers displayed blank in black. This clarified that the actual value of the cell is being evaluated, not the displayed value after Custom formatting is applied.
I have a spreadsheet filled with formulas that depend on a value being entered into A2, A3, A4, etc... So column A starting at A2 is where I will manually input a number and the formulas I have in columns B, C, and D will import information from another sheet based off what is put in column A. In column D the formula I have to import data
is =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Master!C:M,11,0),"").
This will import another number. Additionally in column D, I have conditional formatting that will return a red, yellow or green light based off the rule I have in place. Everything works fine, the only problem is that column D has a green light all the way down even without a value being placed in column A. I would like to find out a way to keep the cells in column D blank until a value is entered in column A. Also, if I go back and delete the value in column A, I would like the corresponding cell in column D to go back to blank as well.
I want to have 2 cells where I can enter 2 numbers (length & height) so that a grid can be plotted. For example, a big sheet of paper size is length 30" x height 8", if first number is 10" (length) is entered, it will plot 3 lines across 30" (cos 30" divided by 10" equals to 3) and if I enter 2" (height) on 8", it will then cut it into 4". Attached a file for better understanding.
I'm creating a fairly large risk analysis spreadsheet which uses a fairly standard 5x5 risk matrix.
I need a function or a formula which refers to the score a cell in a 5x5 grid, if given the row and column values, like this (where the columns are probability and the rows are impact):
I'm trying to link objects and pricing to groups via a combo box. If the user selects Group A from the combo box and enters Object A on the line item, I want the price associated with Object A and Group A to populate.
I have a worksheet ('Matrix') that has a grid that is 40 rows x 40 columns. On another sheet ('Drivers') I have a two columned table where a user is enters two numbers between (you guessed it!) 1 and 40. What I'm trying to do is within the grid, have a "Y" appear on the crossing point as denoted by the table. I've tried a couple of experiments with MATCH, but I'm not getting very far.
I've attached an example document to make this a bit clearer and I've coloured the references on the 'Drivers' sheet to correspond to where they should appear on the 'Matrix' sheet. Sorry if that's a bit garbled. Let me know if you need any clarification.
