I am using the standard validation from the tool bar. What I am trying to do is in
check the date in a cell and if the new date is Greater and or equal to another date in another cell. The problem is I am having is when the cell that I am checking for a date is Blank the validation does not work and one can put in a date. I tried unchecking the "Ingore Blank"
Spreadsheet example attached.
I currently have a code that for combines cells within a range together and places them into another cell.
I want the code to only include cell that have a value in and exclude those within the range that are blank.
I have included the code below:

I have a scenario where I have a rolling list of sales figures which get added to each week that passes.
I need a formula that will calculate the last 5 weeks of sales and generate an average - which I think I have an idea how to do.
The sticking point is that so as not to skew the averages, when there has been an exceptionally busy or quiet day for a reason we know about I exclude the sales from that week.
This then interferes with the averages as it either takes it as a zero and lowers it or seems to stop formulas from working.
So to summarise:
Average of last 5 weeks sales
Excluding any blanks
Dynamic enough to always pick up the last 5 values in the list (i.e. the last 5 weeks)
I am writing a formula for finding a maximum out of three average values. The cells that will be populated with data are A1 to A5; B1 to B5; C1 to C5. The final cell where I want to write the formula needs to show the maximum of the three averages (average of data in each row).
The difficulty is that sometimes only the A and B rows are populated (and sometime only A row is populated) and if B and/or C are blank, the formula fails and shows "#DIV/0!".
How can I write so that if C is blank, then evaluate only A and B data. And If both B and C are blank, then just display the average of row A.
I have an array formula that calculates the average of numbers between two dates:
{=AVERAGE(IF('Date Range'!$B:$B>$H$4,IF('Date Range'!$B:$B<=$B$3,'Numbers to Sum'!$C:$C)))*100}
The start date is the day after the date in H4 and the end date is in cell B3. The dates are in column B and the numbers to sum associated with these dates are in column C.
Some of the cells in column C are blank and my formula is taking these blanks into account in calculating the average, while I would prefer not to count them in the calculation.
Can someone please suggest how I could amend the formula above to accommodate this?
I have the following line in a macro:
Range("b22:L" & Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).AutoFilter
This selects rows based on whether they contain data and creates an autofilter of the range.
The data Im using this on will have blank cells as the bottom rows but they will contain formulas that blank the cells based on ISNA() conditions,
How do I get the above code to only select cells with visible data and ignore those that are blank but contain formulas.
I have a spreadsheet with data in every other column (i.e. A, C, E, etc.). I am using the "filter" option in Excel on the aforementioned range of cells although the little filter icon shows up on all columsn, including the blank columns in between my data. Is there a way to only have the filters show up on the columns with data?

also the validation in h2 is >g2, what i want is basically to set up a formulae to copy these 2 validations down the colummns,
Im using an advanced filter that uses the following criteria
Days Late Note(s) Note(s)
>90 <>*agreement* <>*QTR*
This shows all data over 90 that do not incl the words agreement or QTR in a column marked Note(s).
My problem is that I do not want to show records that are Null in the Note(s) column.
Note(s)
<> Does not work (possibly because it is text and not Numbers)
as this does work if used on records that contain numbers.
I use a system which produces excel spreadsheets similar to this example (although much larger than this!). This makes it extremely difficult to carry out sorts and to tidy up the spreadsheet - generally I have to do this manually. I am hoping that there is a way that I can easily add in the data as per document 2 in red.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am struggling to get Excel Advanced Filter to work on a database, where not every field is populated. The problem I am experiencing is that Excel is treating a blank field as a criteria. When I run the Advanced Filter, any fields in the database that are not populated are filtered out of the results.
To try and illustrate the problem with a simple example: I have a database with two filter criteria: TYPE and CATEGORY. If I filter on type, it returns 100 results [correct]. If I filter on category, it returns 50 results, which is incorrect, as it should be 70. The reason it is returning an incorrect result is because it is treating the unpopulated/blank fields under TYPE as a criteria.
I have set up my criteria table with the below Boolean formulas: if the result of the formula is true (ie if it is blank), it returns "" and if it is false, it returns the selection.
=IF(ISBLANK(type),"",type)
Frustratingly, Excel Advanced Filter still treats the result of this formula as a criteria. So when I run the procedure, with only CATEGORY selected, all blank fields under the TYPE are filtered out of the results. The only way to get the Advanced Filter to produce the correct result is to delete the formula under TYPE from the criteria table - which of course defeats the object!
My intention is to incorporate the Advanced Filter into a VBA procedure, where the user will be able to select criteria under TYPE and CATEGORY from drop down menus.
I can think of only three possible solutions to the problem:
1. Ensure there are no blanks in the database (not really practical as it is not always possible to apply type or category)
2. Tweak the formula so that the Advanced Filter will not treat "" as a criteria
3. Write a VBA procedure, where the selections are written each time to the criteria table when the code is run (hoping to avoid this!)
I am trying to create a schedule that includes weekdays only. Is there a formula or set-up step to do that?
Currently I have 3 columns:
Start date Action date Finish date
The Action date column has the formula: that cell (say C4) minus number of days that action requires (say 10), but when 10 days fall on a weekend, I need to change to the next work day instead.
I have been trying to count dates in my spreadsheet. The dates are supposed to go back in time (what they do). But I want them to jump over the weekends' dates instead of landing on them.
What I have is Start Date, Req'd Qty, Days it takes to make, Date it is required to start production (which I have a problem with).
A
1 26-Nov [Thursday]
2 1500
3 5
4 'Problem' I used for this cell that formula: =if(A2>0,A1-A3,"") , as I don't want it to show anything if there is no requirements.
It comes back with 21-Nov which is Saturday when I want it to come back with 19-Nov (Thursday) as we only have 5 working days in a week.
In column A, I have dates; In column b i have security levels. I have made a table called "Security" it contains to columns, a list of security levels and no of years when each security level is required to be reviewed. the table is setup -
d1 e1
Restricted 5
etc
Example of data
ie.
a1 b1 c1
Restricted 1/06/2012 1/06/2017
What I am looking for is a formula to look up a1 "restricted". then lookup the security table and find "restricted" its value is 5 (years) then add the 5 years to date in b1, but place it in c1.
i have two date fields....one date requested eg 02/06/09 (cell C10)...another date completed eg 03/06/09 (cell R10)
a third field (cell S10) contains the formula: =IF(R10-C10=0,"less than a day",R10-C10)
so if a request was actioned on the day then it shows as less than a day, otherwise will show how many days it took
but when this formula is draggeddown all other cells show - less than a day
how can i make these cells blank whilst still holding the formula?
also - is there a quick formula to add to show only the amount of wrking days a request took to complete?
I created this formula =G2*2.9%+.3
what I am trying to do is take the number in the G column multiply it by 2.9% and add 0.30. For instance if 20.00 is in the G2 cell, the number I want the formula to produce is .88
the formula works for me but what happens is the rest of my sheet that does not have any numbers in the G column gets filled with .30
How do I prevent the formula from calculating if the G column is blank?
I have three columns named "name","start_date" and "end_date"
ex:
Name start_date end_date
AB 9/11/13 10:19 AM ??
CD 9/12/13 11:45 AM ??
All i need to find is,
If Name = AB, i want put start_date+3 days in the end_date column,
similarly for name = CD , start_date+7 days.
But the calculation should exculde weekends(sat and sun).
ex: For AB, start_date = 10/3/13 (3rd oct , thrusday), end_date should be start_date+3 ,so end_date = 10/6/13 but 6th october is sunday so the formula should give end_date as 10/7/13.
Using one spreadsheet with three date columns and two columns counting days.
If there is a value in Resolution date, then Column N is blank
If there is no value in Submit date and Resolution date, then Column N is blank
If there is no value in Resolution date, and there is a value in Submit date, subtract Submit date from todays date to show how many days it has been pending approval
Created on = J4
Submitted on = K4
Resolution Date = L4
Days to Approve = M4 I've got that formula =IF(L4="","",L4-K4)
Days Pending Approval= N4 (cell with formula)
If Resoultion Date L4 has a value, return blank
If Submit on K4 and Resoultion date L4 are blank, return blank
If Resolution date L4 is blank, and Submit on K4 has a value, subtract Todays date from Submit on K4 to show Days Pending Approval
Cell J4______Cell K4______Cell L4__________Cell M4__________Cell N4
Created on___Submit On___Resolution Date___Days to Approve___Days Pending Approval

I am creating a pivot table from region, which some of the rows are blank.
Is there any possibility that the pivot table not show the blank in its dropdown combobox?
I'm trying to figure out a formula to use that will exclude negative numbers. I have two dates. I'm trying to find the difference between the two dates assuming there is a date in the first column. At times there will be a situation where the date in A1 is before the date in A2 and it returns a negative number. I'd like to return a blank if there is a blank cell in column A and also return a blank if the return number is a negative.
Example:
A1 = 1/15/2013 B1= 1/10/2013 C1(formula) =IF(A1="","",(A1-B1) C1 will then reflect 5
A2 = (cell is blank) B2= 1/18/2013 C2 (formula) =IF(A2="","",(A2-B2) C2 will then reflect a blank cell
A3 = 1/5/2013 B3 = 1/15/2013 C3 (formula) =IF(A3="","",(A3-B3) C3 will then reflect -10
I'm trying to figure out a formula that would also allow C3 to reflect a blank cell since the formula returns a negative.
I'm using excel 2010 on a pc. I need to create a calender. So far I have been using the tutorial for the pop up calender.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two sets of data, first set contains records from a timesheeting system, including:
Name Date
Where each name will be repeated mulitple times each day worked.
Second set of data relates to the invoices for the same resources, and includes:
Name Invoice No Date From Date To
And may include multiple invoices for the same resource.
What I'm trying to do is determine for each record in the timesheeting system (adding a column next to this data) what is the associated invoice number? A simple VLOOKUP returns the first match it finds, however if there are multiple invoices for the same person, I want to return the correct number based on the date fields. I don't want to count the number of invoices, I want to return the corresponding invoice number that relates to the day.
From an outside source, a date is brought into one cell, and time is brought into another. Is there a way to combine them into one cell with the format of m/d/yyyy h:mm?
I tried concatenate, but that did not work.
I have tried several ways to calculate the difference between 2 dates/Time fields. Here is what i have tried and the issues i am encountering.
Cell F3 Has the Create date and Cell G3 has the resolution date and i need to calculate the difference between the 2 in months, Days, Hours, Mins and seconds:
1st option - =G3-F3 and set the format of the cell to mm "m "dd"d" hh"h "mm"m "ss"s "
The problem is, for some reason the months isn't calculating correctly and appears to add 1 month
2nd option - =DATEDIF(F156,G156,"y")&"y "&DATEDIF(F156,G156,"ym")&"m
"&DATEDIF(F156,G156,"md")&"d "&TEXT(MOD(G156-F156,1),"hh""h ""mm""m ""ss""s""")
This appeared to work however because it looks at the date and time separately, when there are 22 hours difference which spans over 2 dates ( Created 13/06/2013 10:30:00 Resolved 14/06/2013 08:34:00) its shows as 1 day and 22 hours which isn't correct.
I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)
i have two fields with dates - one field A1 for date authorised (for a data request) and one field B1 for date actioned (data request)
i need a formula to populate in C1 the following:
if A1 is blank then C1 is 'not actioned'
if B1 is blank then C1 is 'not complete'
if both contain dates then C1 to calculate the number of working days between the dates eg. A1 10.08.09, B1 11.08.09...C1 = 1 working day
I am entering data for ships arrived every month. There are about 200 records to be entered and for every record there are 4 date fields.
My question is : Is it possible to set default month (for ex = July) and year ( for ex = 2013 ) in these 4 cells so that
If I just type 16 it should be 16/07/2013. Because all my dates will be within that month July 2013.
I am currently working on a workbook to have employees fill in data on what tasks they compelted for the day, and how long it took. There are 5 colums (for this purpose) Task, Description, Time, Required to complete, Completed. The tasks are predefined and listed out in each row. There is also a space for employees to select the date they are entering the data for.
I would like to have a macro that is linked to a submit button and when pressed populates this data into a database on another sheet. This database is split into two sheets (1 with time and one with tasks required/compelted). Each sheet has the list of tasks going down a cloum on the left, and dates along a row on the top. When the employee presses submit I would like this data to popuplate in the coresponding date and task fields and then reset the form on sheet 1 to all 0's.
