Excel 2003 :: Ignore Blanks When Sorting A List?
Aug 24, 2012
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

Using Excel 2003. I have a data range for a graph. The values in the cells are the results of a simple If function - If(m28>0,n28,0). The results are taken from a larger data input exercise. But, the graph line (a simple graph!) plots the FALSE value (0) when I would like there to really be no value & hence no plotted point if the result is FALSE.

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'd like to concatenate the two columns in the file I've attached as a string of text that I can copy to another sheet. The second column in the file attached will be a vlookup from another sheet. However as shown in the file, I'd like to ignore blank cells and only concatenate if they have data in them.

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'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.

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
{=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$10243=$A2),--(IR$2:IR$10243>IR2))+1}
The A2:A10243 is a column containing an id number for the data held in cells IR2:IR10243.

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
Next

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?
=INDEX(C2:C11,MATCH(MODE(COUNTIF(C2:C11,C3:C11)),COUNTIF(C2:C11,C2:C11),0))

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
Sunday
Monday
9,955.00
3,325.00
2,427.00
(15,707.00)
(0.00)
20,903.00
9,955.00
13,280.00
15,707.00
20,903.00

How to include a boolean OR in my SUMPRODUCT formulas.
Software: WinXP SP2 and Excel 2003 SP3
I'll try to type in some data in legible format:
......Col B.....Col C.....Col D.....Col E.......Col F
1...NW OH....WMA.....110%....NW OH...(result)
2...NW OH....SIS.......130%
3...SO FL......PRB........92%
4...NW OH....TRO......104%
I want to sum the contents of Column D when Column B = a given text value located in Cell E1 AND Column C = text value #1 OR text value #2 OR text value #3, and plunk the result in Cell F1.
So for example if I have NW OH in Cell E1 and my values to match in Col C are WMA, SIS, or PRB, I need a result of 240%.
I am using dynamic ranges for the contents of Columns B, C, and D: CALC_AFFIL, CALC_TITLE, and CALC_PERC respectively.
I have tried:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CALC_AFFIL=$E1),--(CALC_TITLE="WMA")+--(CALC_TITLE="PRB")+--(CALC_TITLE="SIS"),CALC_PERC)
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CALC_AFFIL=$E1),--(CALC_TITLE="WMA")+--(CALC_TITLE="PRB")+--(CALC_TITLE="SIS"),--CALC_PERC)
Also tried both the above formula w/o the "--" in front of any array.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CALC_AFFIL=$E1),--(CALC_TITLE={"WMA","PRB","SIS"}),CALC_PERC)
Again, the above was tried with and w/o the combinations of "--" in front of arrays.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CALC_AFFIL=$E1),--ISNUMBER(MATCH(CALC_TITLE={"WMA","PRB","SIS"},0)),CALC_PERC)
Once more with and w/o "--" combinations.

Using Excel 2007, I have a very simple spreadsheet made up of only two worksheets that I am using to track the songs played by a band during a current tour.
One worksheet is called "Summary" and the other is called "Setlists". In the Setlists worksheet I list every show played (10 shows so far), and every song played from each show. In the Summary worksheet I have very song listed that has been played during the tour in one column (A), then the number of times that song has been played in another column (B). Column B, the number of times each song has been played, is populated by a COUNTIF function that looks at the Setlists worksheet and counts each instance of each song.
What I want to do, very simply, is to sort on column B in order to display the list of songs from the most played to least played. That is where I run into a problem. When I sort my list of numbers, I end up with a seemingly random list that certainly isn't from most to least and I can't figure out why.
Is it possible that the COUNTIF function which populates that column of numbers is somehow throwing off the sort?

I am trying to sort a list of business development leads. When a lead is dead I enter the date in the column entitled "Closed". Therefore, the Closed cell for active leads is blank. Whilst I still wish to retain the information of dead leads, when sorting I would like them listed at the bottom of the list. However, whenever I sort on the Closed column, whether using newest to oldest or oldest to newest, the blank cells are always at the bottom, instead of the top.
How to get the sorted blank cells to the top?

Here is the formula I am using now: =IF(Players!$E3="y",Players!$B3, " ") but I get blank rows for the player that are not playing.

Unfortunately we don't have 2010 at work so I don't have the luxury of the use of the duplicate function.
I'm using Excel 2003 and need to remove duplicate names from a list; what would be the best formula to do this.
I've done a countif to identify how many occurrences appear; any other formula if greater than to get to the object of how many staff I have in the list

This is driving me crazy. I have a sheet with 5 columns, and 13k + rows of data.
I attached an example of how its is formatted...
The problem is, in column A "DBA" and D, "Address", some of the data contain 2 rows, and others contain 3 rows.
When I try to sort by DATE, for example, it ends up splitting up the addresses alphabetically...
How can I sort this data, by any of the columns, while still keeping the ADDRESS together?
I hope this makes sense to someone because it is driving me NUTS.

I have a sheet with 12k plus lines of data... Attached is a sample.
I am trying to sort by any one of the column headings, without losing the order of the ADDRESS field.. Sometimes there are 2 lines, sometimes there are 3 lines of ADDRESS... Also, the first column, "DBA" has 2 lines sometimes 3 lines per entry... When I try to sort, it tells me I have to unmerge the cells.. but then when i sort, it alphebetizes everything seperatley so the addresses get splut up...

I can't seem to find a way to copy specific highlighted/selected cells in a filtered list column and paste them outside of Excel 2003. i.e. in Notepad.
It seems to copy all the data between what is selected.
My Filtered list shows rows 5, 28, 35, 40 and 56
If I selected A5, A28 and A40 and select copy
If I paste it into Notepad, it adds A5, A28, A35 and A40
However if I paste my selected copied cell into Excel it works perfect and only adds A5, A28 and A40.

I have a workbook that has 30 tabs in it. Each tab is a report card for students. What I'd like to do is create another tab with a button on it that when I hit the button it will search through each tabs range of D12:D40, D48:D76, D84:D112, D120:D136, J12:J40, J48:J76, J84:J112, and J120:J136. And if any of these cells has an MS in them then this new sheet I have created will list each students name which is in cell E5 and list what they recieved the MS for. This will be in the same row number but in column B. So if cell D12 has an MS in it then this report will list the students name and what's in cell B12.

I've created a pivot table and I'd like to index through each "value" in the page field and then copy the results to another sheet, one sheet per field returned.
I can't figure out if it's possible to index through the list though. Is it possible?

I am using Excel 2003 and I created an amortization schedule set up for an debt account. I am trying to pull the "Balance Due" from that schedule into another chart based on the current date (these are on two different sheets in a workbook).
For example, this is my 'Amortization Schedule':
Balance
Due
Interest
Rate
This Month's
Interest
This Month's
Payment
[code]....
And I am trying to pull the "Balance Due" from that schedule to place into this chart on my 'Debts' sheet: (based on the current date)
Name
Starting
Balance
Remaining
Balance
Interest
Rate
Minimum
[code]....
For example, if today were 1/15/13, I would want $3,796.34 from the schedule to go where the "x" is on the chart above. What formula would I use to accomplish this?
Also, on a side note, would there be a formula to have Excel pull the "Payment Date" from the schedule into the "Payoff Date" in the chart based on where the row has a $0 Balance Due?

I would like to be able to limit a drop down list's contents based on a user's selection in a different drop down. I am using Excel 2003, and I know how to do this in Access, but I can't figure it out in Excel. Basically, I have a list of themes in one drop down. The user picks a theme, and goes to a second drop down which is a list of sub-themes attributable to that one theme and no other theme.
