I've created a spreadsheet it is for tracking attendance etc broken down into percentages.
What I'm looking to do is if someone doesn't attend this doesn't get added to the attendance total.
I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I mean.

I am creating a spreadsheet that tracks daily employee attendance.
The title for the E Column is, "Received On Time?"
In the next column, I want to enter a formula that does the below:
If I enter Y, the cell reads "N/A"
If I enter N, the cell reads "ENTER TIME"
If the cell is BLANK, the cell should read "NOT RECEIVED"
So far, I have entered the below function in a cell in my excel spreadsheet, which worked perfectly:
=IF(E3="Y","N/A")
I also want to add in this same cell:
=IF(E3="N","ENTER TIME") AND =IF(E3="BLANK","NOT RECEIVED")
I am recording attendance to our various activities as follows (screenshot):
Column A show the activity
Columns B onwards show attendance by day of the week (names gathered from list).
Now I've got a simple formula =COUNTA(Sep!B4:AE51) to count the total attendance for the month, modifying the range to cater for each activity, but it would be better if I could keep the range the same and modify the activity.
Also, I would like a formula to show the attendance at each activity by the day of the week (ie to show the total and average attendances for Mondays or Tuesday etc).
If you take a look at the spreadsheet you'll see that there are 11 sessions. I'd like to figure out a way by looking at the attendance log to get the percentage/number of people from a certain unit that attended each session. The Y's means that they were present and the N's means that they weren't.
I tried = countif( range,"12WT") which I guess is wrong because it only counts the number of times the word 12WT appears. It doesn't count the number of time a person from 12WT attended the session which is what I'm looking for. How do I go about getting the percentage of people that attended from each unit?
For all the units that didn't attend, is there a formula that would list the units that didn't attend according to the session number? For instance for session one, someone for EC, 9WT, didn't attend. Is there a way that the end result for the formula could be: EC,9WT. Or, does the result for every formula always have to be numeric?
I went to add the count to the inventory, it keeps returning an error where the date is pasted from one sheet to the other. I had originally tried to reference the value of the date directly, but because it was being passed to a merged cell, Excel didn't like it too much, so I had it copy and paste it. That worked at first, now it suddenly doesn't.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got an Excel 2007 spreadsheet that I want to use to take the attendance in the school where I teach. I've got it more or less the way I want it, but there are 2 improvements I'd like to make:
1. I don't want to have press Enter to go down to the next cell. If a kid is present, I want to press 'p' and automatically be one cell lower.
2. When I open the spreadsheet (which contains multiple worksheets for different classes), I'd like it to open at today's date on the left regardless of which worksheet I go to (I've frozen the first four columns, so I'd like 'today's column' to appear next to them). I've put the dates in row 1. I've put the dates in the format ddd, d/m/y. (I don't know if that info makes any difference, hence I'm including it). I've already looked up some posts on this and copied and pasted a few different suggestions, but none worked.
I have been using MSNStockQuotes on a few computers without any problems for months.
Now (in the last day or so) , when I press "update Quotes" on any of the computers, I get a "Failed to get requested Data" message. I can often "trick" it into getting the quotes by deleting a bunch of the quotes, then choosing Edit-Undo, which then fetches the quotes properly, but even that fails some of the time (same displayed message).
This happens even with older copies of my spreadsheet that used to work perfectly.
Are others having problems with MSNStockQuotes Excel Plugin?
I have a spreadsheet that is being used for tracking work completed each day in a week. Each day has 5 columns and 10 rows of data to potentially be entered, some of the data is text and some is numerical. Can anyone help me come up with a formula that will count the text and the numerical entries for each day? I tried to use a nested if statement but it exceeded the number of nestings available. The range of cells for the first group is B6:F16.
As a side question, will count work for a range of data or only one column or row at a time?
I have Excel 2007.
Undo / Redo - they do NOT work properly after a save. Before a save, its great - I can undo / redo many many changes.
After a save, I can only undo 2 changes, but the worst thing is it ONLY REDOES ONE of them.
I work by saving very regularly, then I go and look at something on the sheet, and then use Undo / Redo to get back to where I was last updating the sheet and see what I had just been working on, especially if its a few minutes in between.
However, when I do that now, it undoes my last change, but the redo has been lost. So I do:
change, save, undo, redo
and it just doesn't do the redo. The redo button is greyed out.
If I do:
change, change, save, undo, undo, redo, redo
the first redo works, and the second fails as the redo has been lost.
It seems pretty basic that undo / redo should be symmetrical but they aren't, at least now.
I would rather just not have undo after save at all than this broken version.
Why are they putting so much stuff in Excel but they can't even get one of the most basic parts of spreadsheets correct - such as undo / redo, and the ability to open independent spreadsheets without having to change things in the registry (which I have had to do so I can work on two spreadsheets in a semi-sane fashion, undo being shared across your sheets otherwise). MS needs a back to basics...
I have everything else like it is supposed to be, but in one cell a word is broken. I have tried everything and gone back through the tutorials. Excel 2007.

8/1/2008 228lbs
8/2/2008 225lbs
8/3/2008 223lbs
Total 5lbs
I would like use a formula that would subtract my absolute weight loss total day by day in August. Basically, I want the total "cell" to equate to my total weight loss in August. For Example after 8/3/08 the "total cell" should equate to 5 lbs. What formula do I use to do this?
Quick rundown, I have a sales background, so other parts (accounting, inventory, etc) are what I want to improve so Im not running around when an order comes in, where is it, do I have it in stock.
I know microsoft has some templates, any worth downloading and starting with, then move the data or add functions to an inventory and accounting template to start, any other templates recommended for an online business.
At my new job the CHT/CRT that we receive is three days behind what we are actually using. It makes it hard for me to keep track of my talk time, so I thought I'd use excel to track it. I can see the time I have been on each call through the day. I had to put it in 0:0:0 format to get it to average correctly. (I was trying to get it down to just seconds but that seems a bit complicated. I just then used "average=(a1:a30)" to average them together and it seemed to work a bit.

I need a formula to create the following:
In Cell F5 is 26, so the percentage should be 101% (100+1). How can I modify the below to add 1% when the number goes over 100%?
Do I have to create two columns? one for the below and one if the F6 is over 100%?
IF(F6="N/A","N/A",IF(F6>=25,1,IF(F6>=19,0.8,IF(F6>=13,0.6,IF(F6>=7,0.4,IF(F6>=1,0.2,IF(F6
We were looking at a list of about 100 FedEx tracking numbers, each 30 characters in length, in an otherwise blank Excel spreadsheet. All tracking numbers in column A.
I used the Conditional Formatting - Highlight Duplicates feature to find any duplicate tracking numbers. It highlighted numerous. We sorted the column smallest to largest to look at two duplicates back to back, but found that there were actually no duplicates. Excel was highlighting values that had the *first 25* characters the same, but it didn't matter what the remaining characters were. For example:
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
were highlighted as duplicates of each other.
Excel only looks at the first 25 characters when analyzing duplicates (at least in this specific function). That in and of itself blows my mind. Tracking numbers seem like an abundantly common type of data, and to think that Excel would fail to analyze them in such a simple manner seems impossible to me.
It gets slightly more confusing though. If you back a character off the end of the values, it NO LONGER sees them as duplicates. So...
1234567890123456789012345XXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
are NOT highlighted as duplicates while
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
ARE highlighted as duplicates. So there's some funny business going on about values of the same character length. Maybe Excel first looks at character length before analyzing specific characters. If length doesn't match, it doesn't even bother to analyze specific character values. That seems like a very strange programming choice though.
I have a checkbox where the values are reflected as True/False in a seperate column, what i simply want to do is take the value from one cell, and add 10% of the value each time a value becomes True.
For example in this value column after the check box has been filled out it might look like this:
False
True
True
True
False
False
False
The cell then needs to take the figure, lets say, 100, add 10%, then add 10% to 110, then again and so on for however many "True" statements are in the column.
I have tried with no success with various SUM/SUMIF/COUNT/COUNTIF/IF etc cant seem to get it to work, im not sure the cell refreshes correctly after the checkbox is filled out and its not registering the new "True" value as by default its all set to "False".

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got an excel file with LOTS of links... it's a sort of 'dashboard' that draws in data from all the individual data files in the company.
Recently, when I open the file it's telling me "this file contains one or more links that cannot be updates".
So... as I usually would, I use my 'find links' add in to find anything with a #REF in it... nothing.
Go into edit links and manually update each link... and they all update with no issue.
I just cannot find anything that's broken!
I'm making an attendance list that calculates regular hour and overtime hours for days in a month on rows. Besides the number of hours, there's input for v and s, which stand for vacations and sick days. I'm using the "if" function to separate hour and overtime, and when I put v or s in a cell it messes up my totals. Is there a way to make it so that the cells with v or s don't affect my other columns?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a workbook with class lists for 21 classrooms.
Then I would like to use this each month to generate a workbook that has one sheet per class with the teacher name and class name as an overall header. The row stubs would be the student names. The 2 column headers would be the weekdays (Mon through Fri) and the day of the month as a number.
It seems that this could very well be an application that already exists. It seems like the kind of thing a business would create and put on the web as a free download as a good will thing.
Does such an application already exist? If not, is there a small example of populating a workbook with information in another workbook?
I've started with an Attendance tracking template that I found in Excel. My company has implemented an attendance policy where each employee is allowed up to 10 points before they are terminated. A 1/2 point is given for arriving late or leaving early and a whole point is given for an unscheduled absence. The points stay on the employee's record for one year, after that time period it drops off their record. We want to monitor each employee's cumulative points.
So, I'm looking for a way to look back 1 year from the current date and add up the cumulative points over that period.
I am trying to create a 'simple' spreadsheet which will allow me to check how many children are going to be attending my nursery and split them into the different age bands.The columns I am using at the moment are
Name
D.o.B
Start date
Mon AM
Mon PM
Tues AM
Tues PM
I need to be able to split this data into three age groups: Babies (under 2 years), Tweenies (2-3 years) and Pre-school (3+).I would also like the formula to take account of the start date so to remove children from the list who will not have started by this data.
The idea is that I can use this as a quick look to see if I can accept another child / give me an idea of staffing needs. I know there is software out there that can do all this and more, and used to use them on previous nurseries, however this is a new start nursery which does not have the cash to pay for the software at the moment so I am looking to save myself a few hours of checking it all myself until the nursery is up and running and can afford the software which we would hopefully buy in year 2.
I would like for a vba programmer to tell me if the following program can be written before I attempt to code it. When I open Excel I want to see cells containing names in a square array with red backgrounds. As I click on each cell I want the cell to turn green and I want an alphabetized column of the names to have a 1 recorded(after I click) indicating that the person is present. If a person's name is red then I need a 0 recorded. If possible, I would like to be able move over one column each day that I take attendance by clicking on a cell in a row above the column of names. I am a math professor and I write computer code most every day but I have only written some small routines in vba that did not involve events.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo my macro goes through about 30 workbooks--opens them, updates the links, saves, closes. It would work flawlessly except I have to stop and click "continue" when this message pops up for most of the workbooks:
"This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated....etc."
About 90% of the workbooks have bad links somewhere (I think in the insert>names...but they're not my workbooks so i can't delete all the names). Since I can't find the bad links, I would like a visual basic script that will automatically click "continue" everytime so that the macro runs its course without me having to do anything. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have inherited a large spreadsheet. When it opens I get a warning message "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated". When I click "Edit Links" the dialoge tells me that it is looking for a file in a folder called "All Daily Tasks". now I know that this folder no longer exists. I have found all the cells that had formulae refering to it, and pointed them in the new, correct folder, but I still get the warning message. I have cleared all Named Ranges, so that isn't the problem. And I have done a search for "All Daily Tasks", but this has come up blank. I know I can break the link, but I want to know where the link is, in case it needs updating. How do I find the cell with the "link that cannot be updated" if the search facility can't locate it?
