Still adjusting to 2010 Excel...How do you use the automatic fill in feature of formulas; e.g. when typing =convert....a fx function appears....not sure how to use it
View 2 RepliesI am looking to insert a drop down box in Excel 2010 which will allow users to select multiple items. At the moment I have data validation drop down lists in other columns, however I need one column to allow for multiple selections.
Basically I have a drop down which allows for a region to be selected, my next drop down (in the next column) I need to allow users to either select "ALL", or multiple countries which fall within the region selected previously. I need a check box so that users can select multiple countries, and deselect if an incorrect country is selected in error.
how to enter data in non-adjacent cells using a fill command.
Here is what I am trying to do:
in the column, I am holding ctrl button to select every 10th cell down the sheet. I need to enter a date in every selected cell that is exactly 7 days apart, i.e., 11/7/08 then 11/14/08 then 11/21/08, etc.... but no other dates or data.
I have tried to figure out a way to do this other than manually, but am confounded.
I am not too sure what this is called but I am using Excel 2010 and need particular document that I use repeatedly. Basically, if a particular cell in the document does not contain a phrase then I want Excel to automatically change the text in that cell to bold and red and 2 other cells in Excel to bold and red as well. For more information, the cell is 19–20 and K–O and the phrase in the cell is "No Inconsistency".
So if "No Inconsistency" is not found in that cell then it automatically changes the text in that cell to bold and red, and it also changes two other cells that are found in that document to bold and red as well. The coordinates of those two other cells are 19 with H–J, and the other one is 17 with H.
How can I create a Makro that looks for values (e.g. values > 90) and that then generates a list with: all the values greater than 90, the row names and column names of the values?
I am pretty sure I will need a Makro for this, but how to create it. I am using excel 2010.
I have attached a file to give you an example. The red table is the table with the values. The blue table is what I want to be generated automatically. In the example I did it manually.

My fill down menu does not pop up once I click and drag down over several cells. I have checked my options, under advanced, and it is checked .
I can use the right click and fill down and THAT menu pops up, but I will want the regular left click menu to pop up as I am accustomed to using it. I am thinking it's a keyboard shortcut that I may have inadvertently clicked to disable it.
Here's a problem I'd like to be able to solve in VBA:
Retrieve the current cell color (let's say A1 = 'green')
Format A1's cell colors (using the VBA equivalent of the 'Format Cells' / 'Fill' / 'Fill Effects' / '2 color Gradient' feature) so that the background cell color (color 2) is set to 'green' with color 1 being set to 'white' with a shading style of "From Center"
I'm using Excel 2010.
I need to know if it is possible to combine these 2 formulas (1. (RIGHT(C23,0)&RIGHT(C23,4)) and 2. LEFT(E23,2)&":"&RIGHT(E23,2)
into a single cell. I have a date time group that is in text format. I need to take the last 4 digits (the time) and pull it out into another. Then take that cell and convert it into an actual time ie 2:30.
example: 01may2014 0831 first formula pulls the 0831 into another cell. then the 2nd formula converts it into a time 8:31.
After this occurs, I can then subtract times from different categories in my spreadsheet.
My, problem, is that I cannot combine the two formulas. They work great by themselves. I am just trying to make formulas more compact and hopefully more efficient.
I am working in Excel 2010.
I am looking over spreadsheets in a new job, and I am coming across formulas I am unfamiliar with?
For example, =(G16*G17/C13-G24)*hrs and =I25*elec.
hrs and elec??
After using the "Trace Precedents" feature, the "hrs" and "elec" are still a mystery to me. Are these variables that the creator of the spreadsheet has defined? They don't appear to be named data sets because they exist in just a few cells.
I Need to Understand Running Total Sum Formulas. I'm using Excel 2010. and I'm typing in the basic correct formula to arrive at a running total for each ajacent cell to the left of it.
I put in the correct formula in Cell (B1) of Sum=(A1)
I then put in the correct formula in Cell (B2) Sum=(A1:A2) I then highlight the A1 part of the formula with an F4 Key to lock it in.
I then drag the B2 Cell all the way down the excel page to capture all of my running total coming from the (A) Column just to the left of my formula.
Why even though I'm getting the answers I want in the running total does it put an error message in each of the correct answers in each of the cells in the (B) column where I put my formulas.
I tryed to delete the error message spot but I don't know how to delete all of the error spots without going into each cell one by one.
How can I get rid of all the error message out of each cell without having to click on each cell one by one to do it when I might have over 500 or more cells to click on.
We just upgraded our machines to Excel 2010 and now I'm having an issue with copying forumlas down. In Excel 2007 (and 03) if you double clicked in the bottom right corner of a cell, Excel would autofill your formula (or data set) down until the last row of data in your range. Have tried all the settings in 2010 and can't get it to work. All I'm able to do is do a manual copy/paste or highlight all the cells and select fill down.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently received an .xls book which I then saved as .xlsx (I'm using 2010). There are just under 8,000 rows and 20 columns. File Size 1MB.
The only formulas in the sheet are the ones in a column which I inserted and copied down for all 8,000 rows. Nothing too complicated: no arrays or anything. The sheet calculates fine.
I am simply trying to copy and paste these formulas as values (into the same cells), though at every attempt Excel crashes. I tried on smaller sets of the column and just got it to work for a few hundred rows, though it struggles with any more than that.
I opened a different workbook of mine, and tried the same operation on twice as many cells containing complicated, lengthy array formulas and the action completed instantly.
There is no Conditional Formatting in the book, no code, no 'last cell' issue, no Named Ranges, no external links.
I have even copied the data to a new workbook, then copied the text of just one of the formulas over into this book, added an equals sign, copied down and recalculated, then tried to paste as values again. Still crashes.
Formula:
=IF(AND(N3>1,ROWS($1:1)<>MATCH(M3,$M$3:$M$7979,0)),"Exact Duplicate","")
is far more resource-hungry than I thought, though if that were the case, wouldn't the issue be during calculation (which, as I said, is fine) and not during a paste attempt? No, it can't be this.
I have an excel file with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has a column that contains formulas (ie (18299*11151)/20067 ) Those numbers are IDs referencing questions stored in Sheet 2. What I would like to do is find a way to look up those questions and place them into the formula instead of the ID numbers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Excel 2010. Is it possible to change the default line thickness and fill color when selecting the ActiveSheet Target Row below?
I would like a thin border and a light grey fill - without interfering with any fomatting or conditional formatting that has been applied to the worksheet.
In Excel 2010, you can color a cell with a fill color and a font color.
It can be done manually via one of 3 methods that I know of (aside from a macro or a routine):
-From the ribbon button (underneath the font size and increase and decrease font size toolbar buttons)
-By formatting the cell (right clicking on a cell),
-Clicking on the ribbon's font section (giving you the same 6 category format cell box as right clicking on a cell)
What I need is a routine that resets the Fill Color and Font Color toolbar buttons to "No Fill" and "Automatic" if I run it inside a macro or create a command button on a worksheet.
I am trying to create an inventory list that automatically updates the supply quantity when items are taken away from inventory. I have created entry cells where the quantity of items taken out of inventory can be entered (example, cell F2 of the attachment), and the new overall inventory count is adjusted accordingly for each stock of items (example, cell B3). These automated adjustments are repeated for each subsequent row for every time items have been taken from inventory and recorded.
I managed to get it to do what I originally intended with exception of the fact that it still present values on rows where there were no activity - or quantity of items taken from out of inventory (row #6 and beyond of the attachment). Is there a way of "hiding" these values without removing the formula, or possibly set conditional formatting where no values are displayed if no changes in inventory has been entered?

Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?
Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?
In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?
The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.

Sheet 1 contains range B12:B353 with names of people. Sheet 2 range B12:B353 contains a formula to extract the names from Sheet 1 if range D12:D353 contains a certain value:
=IF(Sheet1!D12:D354="A",(Sheet1!B12:B353)," ")
At the bottom of each column in Sheet 2 I am trying to get a total count of populated cells (a running count of names actually visible). I have inserted formula:
=COUNTA(B12:B353)
Which should count the number of cells with text in them, right? But I believe it's somehow counting the formula as text because I inserted the value of "A" in Sheet 1 Column D for 3 names. It returned a number of 331 at the bottom of my column in Sheet 2. First off, a return of 331 doesn't make sense in any way (still scratching my head at this return. It should have returned a value of 3.
I am using Excel 2010 and have the problem as shown in the attached file.
Input Sheet shows the Data I have at present
Output Sheet is the desired result.
I need a macro which should create an "Output" sheet by doing the following on the Input Sheet
1)Insert a Blank Column before Column A
2)Unmerge the Region Heading and insert the respective Region Name in the newly inserted Column. Region Heading will be in Bold Font.
3)Repeat Step 2 for all Regions
4)Delete the Rows which was merged.
Please note that the number of Data Rows will vary for each Region.
I have shown two Regions for explanation purpose only. There will be several Regions in reality.
The result is shown on the Output sheet

I would like to fill some cells with a customer id if this customer is the same as the cell bellow. As my example below.
CUSTOMER idCUSTOMER NAME TYPE
737346 Nikos 81
1154765 Kyriakos 81
1154780 Thanos 81
I would like to fill automatically the empty cell bellow Kyriakos the customer id 1154765 in new column. I want in column "new" to fill with customer id and when the customer id is empty to fill the same customer id as above customer id.
Like the example below

Here is something I would like to do but I don't know if it's possible:
When I input a percentage in a cell (ie 50%) I would like 50% of the background of my cell to be for instance red. (and still 50% written in text above)
Is it something possible to do in excel ?
I was able to create a conditional format that does the following:
if any cell in C column is changed, it checks G column...if the time in G column is within two hours of the current time, it highlights in yellow A column (in that corresponding row). The formula that got this working is:
Code:
=AND(MOD(NOW(),1)>= $G1-"02:00",MOD(NOW(),1)
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 sheet "MySheet" with data in range A1:B200, when i change or select value in combobox, my textbox will fill. But i need return respective rows in column A inside textbox.

TextBoxCod.Value = WorksheetFunction.Index(Range(MyRange"), ComboBox.Value, 1)

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a huge spreadsheet requiring me to manually enter alot of fields with formulas. I am using the formula
=COUNTIFS('A1'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5)+(COUNTIFS('A2'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))+(COUNTIFS('A3'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))
The full formula is quite long as this pick up the data off over 300 work sheets. (there's probably an easier way to do this aswell) When I copy or drag this to another cell with on the same worksheet it gives me the correct formular with the correct cells changes as I want. However this formular does not work. I have auto calculate on and I manually press enter on the cells and still nothing. If I change the following for the entire formula (about 8min to do each cell) it works
=COUNTIFS('A1'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5)+(COUNTIFS('A2'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))+(COUNTIFS('A3'!C10:F11,Statistics!K5))
Is there an easier alternative then manually changing each number?
The attached is a race keeper's scorecard.
Tab 1 lists all participants and race times.
Tab 2 generates a printout to post on a wall.
The spreadsheet works great, BUT, I forgot I needed to add a condition of DNS (Did not start) and DNF (Did not finish).
Once this is added, of course, it breaks everything done so far (damage being done in column M on tab 1 and all of tab 2).
My ideal state is that a DNS or DNF can appear in column L on Tab 1. . . and these participants fall to the bottom of the list generated on Tab 2.
I know there are miracle workers out there who can make this happen! Again, hoping for no code, and no manual manipulation if possible (end user is not Excel savvy). Must be compatible with Excel 97-2003.
