Is there a way to add data into a cell that already had a formula? Lets say in cell A1 we have a formula like "=A1*A2". Would I be able to some how enter a value into cell A1 without changing the formula?
Example: enter value "5" into A2 and value "10" into A1 which would result in A1 value being "50" after value is entered.
I know that this creates a circular error but is there any other way to accomplish this?
I know I can put an IF formular into B1 =if(A1="sat",D/O,0) but obviously if people enter data to this cell i.e time they worked the formula goes is there anyway I can put a formular into C1 but have the result entered into B1?
A1 sat
B1 D/O
C1
Is it possible to have a formula in a cell which can be overwritten by manually entering in a number, but if the manually entered number is deleted, the formula remains in the cell.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a huge (for a newbie ) spreadsheet where every item is associated with several key words. There about 500 key words, all in the same column, and I have to build a table identifying the total frequency of each key word. Basically, the first column of the table I've created lists all the possible key words, and the second one is all the COUNTIF formulae, each one being associated with its corresponding key word. The formula I need to use is this one :
=COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8486;"corresponding key word from column 1")
The formula works well and my table looks fine, but the task of copying and pasting 500 key words into each occurrence of the formula is pretty daunting! is there an automatic way to enter each key word into the corresponding formula without having to do it manually? Otherwise, is there a more direct way or another formula that would give me the information I need? Surely there's a more efficient way to do this, but I just don't know how!
I need to take a figure that appears in a cell, take off 20% vat from it and then calculate 16% off what is left, that is the figure I need in the new cell ? Show me exactly how to write that formular into the new cell?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have attached a sample of the spreadsheet. The cell/cells in question are f32:f36 on the first tab.
Question #1 how this formula works or what it does.
Question #2 Is when I enter the required information in cells a32:e32 it enters an N/A in cell f32. When I than click on cell F32 and than click on the formula bar and hit enter the information populates.
I need to write a formula that calculates after a value is entered. As in I want the cell to show 12% of whatever value is entered. The form needs to look as it does so I considered inserting a column and shrinking it down so it isn't visible, however this would be a last resort. I am building a spreadsheet for others to use and excel is not something they readily understand.
I am thinking something like:
if(0,0),ifx,(x*12%)
x being the entered value. Is this possible? I am hoping for some out of the box thoughts.
How can a formula perform the equivalent of the keyboard alt enter in a cell?
ie Make =A1&A2 where A1 and A2 are cells containing text become

I am trying to make a very simple macro, that when it is run, it inserts a formula into the selected cell. But I am having problems with quotation marks etc... As it doesn't understand the 3rd and beyond quotation marks.
Sub Macro()
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(A1<3000,"Small", "Large")"
End Sub
I'm sure there may is a way of coding it in VBA properly, but I plan to use this method for a range of basic formulas. The idea is this is saved in the Personal Macro Book so I can start a column of formulas by running a Macro rather than typing it in (the example above is a simplified formula, the actual one is fairly long) - then it can just be dragged down on every Workbook I need it in.

Now if i enter date in cell A3 then cell C3 should be automatically filled/copy formula as celll C2. and so on......
then if i enter data to A4 then cell C4 should be automatically filled/copy formula from cell C3.
I have also attached example file.
I really know nothing about vba so here goes. I would like to enter data in a row with 4 cells of info. then hit enter and return to the first cell and move the row down. all four cells must have data entered. and all four must move down. i tried some code as below i found and i modified but it did not work as expected. this moved the row down when returning the cursor to A2. It also should not copy the data style of the top row.

If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub

The formula =SUM(E5:E39)-SUM(E45+F41) is what I'm using to enter my total man hours for the week (E5:E39) and subtracting my overtime(E45) and vacation hours.(F41). I have to enter OT and vacation on the discription cells to get the numbers to enter into the proper cells. I would like to use a formula to take the total manhours over 40 and enter them into the overtime cell.

I just want a simple division formula in a cell, formatted to accounting. This should be really easy, but it isn't reacting the normal way.
The simple division is =13588/12
The output in accounting format should be 1,132.33.
Every time I enter this formula into a cell that is pre-formatted to accounting, the result is 1132 1/3. It also erases my formula and replaces it with the value.
I'm inputting data in E3 and after I hit enter I want B2 to be
selected. But only for E3 and only in one worksheet. And possibly a
further step... Sometimes the formula in B2 has picked up data from
another place depending on what value was entered in E3. If it's done
this then I won't need to go to B2, I'd want to go to A8 after E3
instead of B2.
I have an excel sheet with a few columns, Column (1) has data entered for ever row (with a name.) Column (2) has a few random cells with data (names) about 30% and the rest are left blank. What I need, is to have a formula in a new column (3) that will put in the the data (names) of column (2) and then if there isnt data in column (2) then it will put the Data (names) from column (1). (ps, If i cant get this figured out, we have to buy a custom interface and it will cost around $7000,)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a very long spreadsheet with about 3000 rows. lets say for simplicity that column A contains a list of product ID numbers. I am looking for some macro code where I can just type in the product ID into a textbox, then hit enter (or a 'go' button) and then the cursor will move to the cell containing the part number.
I know Ctrl+F will do the job for me, but because of the frequency that I do these searches, a text input box would be easier still.
The nearest solution I could find was the one here Find text but its a bit 'overkill' for my needs.
I have used data validation to colour rows in one of my spreadsheets at work. The column that uses the data validation is the first column and has a drop down list of 5 words. One of which is collected, which currently indicates when the card has been collected by the individual in question and no further attention is required. It colours the rest of the row green. There is also a column that is entitled 'Date Collected'. Instead of having to input this manually, is there a way to automatically enter the date to be the date that the 'Collected' value was selected?
The title is misleading, I realise there will need to be some sort of IF statement in the 'Date Collected' column. It's been a long day already.
Is it possible to create a command button to print the sheet, and, have a prompt come up and ask you to enter a date? Then that date is entered in a cell and the sheet prints? Just not sure where to start. I know how to make the command button and get to the view code for the button.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2010, and I need to restrict the value the user can enter into a cell (E9).
In cell E3 is the screen width (pixels). eg 6024
In cell E5 is the preferred width of a window. eg 450
The user, in cell E9, enters an x coordinate for which they prefer the top left corner of the window whose width is specified in E5.
If the value that the user enters in E9, added to the width entered in E5, exceeds the value of E3, (if E9+E5 > E3) then the value should be disregarded (window will be off right of screen) and the user re-enter.
I'm not familiar with the use of data validation, so I'm uncertain as to how to use it in this circumstance.

I have following Array formula in Cells N1:N3.
