Excel 2007 :: Formula Result Incorrectly Adds Significant Digits
Jan 17, 2014
I entered exactly 113,876.92 in cell L16 I entered exactly 113,390.02 in cell L17 I entered =L16-L17 in cell L18 L18 incorrectly shows the result at 486.9000000000009000 (note the extra "9" after the 11 zeros). When I expand the viewable digits on L16 and L17, they have ALL zeros after the cents. (I went out at least 25 digits). I can't be the first one encountering this.
I have a column of numbers, all with varying numbers of digits. I want to make them all have only 4 DIGITS in total (regardless of where the decimal is located... so there could be 4,3, 2, 1,or, 0 decimal places). I just want to make everything the same number of digits.
Is it possible to specify a number of significant figures (e.g., 3), so that Excel displays only 3 significant figures but RETAINS the full number? For example, take the number 16355.876: is it possible to have Excel display the number as 16400, yet retain the original number 16355.876? I know this is possible when the numbers are less than 1, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with big numbers.
=COUNTIF(F3:F38,"=VL") This works for totaling the VL in the cells in the column but what if I need it to add DVL in the same column to that total? So I need it to add both VL AND DVL as one total. I can make it add one or the other but not both
The values in columns b:d range from 000-999. I need a formula that will count the number of digits in B:D that match the 3 values in H1 without counting a digit twice. The existing formula counts a digit twice, like the value in H4.
I'm trying to incorporate a Cell result in my header (the one you select from "Page Setup"). Is this possible? I would like to avoid macro if possible and prefer some type of formula.
I use the following formula in excel 2007 (and it's working perfectly in 2007) but this formula does not work if I work with the same file in excel 2003 ...w why and what I have to adjust?
I have a really strange issue on one machine. The end-user gets Excel reports emailed to him. When he opens certain ones, there is an extra space (almost a line without borders) on certain rows. This only happens on some of the files he receives
AND
This behavior is only on his system. On all other recipients' machines the spreadsheets do not have the extra space on some rows. It does not matter if he opens the attachment within Outlook or saves and opens in Excel from the save location.
I have tried resetting the defaults and that does not work.
Often I write the formula in the cell of an excel spreadsheet in vain, it does not work.
Excel only displays the formula in the cell such like = if(B2>2;2;0), and not the result.
Formula is correct, so I don't know why it happens. Most often this occurs when the formula is between worksheets or different excel files on the corporate server.
How can i do this using Excel 2007. I have to cells, A1 and B1. A1 is always Positive whereas B1 might be Positive or Negative. I need a calculation/formula in C1 that ADDS cells B1 and A1 (B1+A1) IF B1 is Negative and SUBTRACTS A1 from B1 (A1-B1) IF B1 was Positive.
I have multiple sheets in excel file. Every sheet having same information for different areas. e.g. The bug was reported. One sheet might have answer in YES and other sheet might have No. I need to get answer YES if even one of sheet contains YES for the field.
what I would like to do is view a cell result in my userform with out deleting my formula
It works perfect from the excel side but I just cant get it right from the user form side
Ok so cell D6 contains a vlookup formula. I want the vlookup result to appear in my userform. I can get this to work but it overrides the vlookup formula with the result. This means that when I go to use it again it just shows the same result.This is what I have:
Cell D8 has a Combobox with a list of names to select from
this is the formula in cell D6 =VLOOKUP(D8,B107:I754,2,FALSE) This retrieves the selected customers account number from the combobox. I need my userform to display the account number with out erasing the formulas because I will need to search for more account numbers after.
I have named the textbox in my userform Customeraccountb
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.
I have an xls with over 500 rows of data, every day I have to update the contents of some of the cells, Cell A contains the date and is auto filled already to the end of 2009, Cell B shows me the number of days since I began the sheet and is also auto filled already to the end of 2009, Cell C & Cell D I have to manually enter data
Cell E contains this formula =D527-D526
Cell F =C527/B526
Cell G = =IF(C527=0,0,C527-C526)
Cell H resorts to manual entry.
My question is "why do these columns with formulas, (E,F & G) not automatically carry the formula to the next row?" I'm sure that they once did. Is it a setting that I can't find?
I have made no changes to Excel 2007, but suddenly when I attempt to copy a formula (e4=c4+d4) to a new cell, the result in the new cell is the value from the copied cell (and not a relative copy of the formula). I have checked the Calculation Options and it is set to Automatic. This is an existing spreadsheet that I have used for years. I also tried to copy a formula in a newly created spreadsheet and get the same result.
I have two worksheets, contractor & list. Assume that Column (A) on the "contractor" worksheet is a named range from Column (A) on the "list" worksheet. On the "contractor" worksheet I would like to put in the contractors name, and auto populate the pay value in column (B). I have been using a Vlookup formula, but need to automate this process a bit more.
"Contractor" worksheet - Two columns: (A) I will input the contractors name from a dropdown list based on name range from my "list" worksheet. (B) is where I would like to populate the pay base on column (B) in my "list" worksheet.
I am using Excel 2007, I have a customer sheet and a sales sheet in the same work book. My customer sheet lists all customers with a single entry only each with a unique customer code. My Sales sheet lists at an item level but does include the customer code so if my customer has purchased more than one item the customer code can be repeated on the Sales sheet on multiple rows.
When I do a vlookup to display the amount each customer has spent on the customer sheet, only the very first sales figure is displayed, if further down the sales sheet the same customer has made another purchase I want this figure to be added to the first figure and all I want to see on my customer sheet is the final total figure.
The vlookup formula I am currently using is: =VLOOKUP(G2,Sales!$A$2:$B$1785,2,FALSE),
I'm thinking maybe a Vlookup will not do what I require, maybe I need a different formula/function?
I am working on a sheet that will copy a specified number of sheets, rename them, set a cell within the equal to a cell from another sheet and (the problem) set cells on my input sheet equal to cells in the newly copied and renamed sheets.
I want the cells in sheet "Data Input" to look something like "='newsheet'E26"
I can make it return the actual number in the cell and return the formula in the cell, but not make the cell in "Data Input" reference the cell in the new book.
Here is what I have:
Code: Sub CopySheetsTest() Dim i As Integer Dim wks As Worksheet
I'm trying to do a nested formula to automatically assign a region number based on what the County is. We have 88 counties we deal with, split into 7 regions. What is the best way to go about setting up a formula to do this, so I don't have to do it manually? I believe the last time I tried doing something like this, I received an error saying that Excel didn't support a formula as big as what I was writing.
