I need to do this in Excel: - to extract non-empty cells
source range
[blank]
[blank]
Peter
[blank]
Mary
target range
Peter
Mary
[blank]
[blank]
[blank]
(1D, length of source can vary, [blank] cells can be present/absent, horiz/vertical)
I'd like to achieve the above using built-in Excel functions, with or without sorting.
1) 4 values contains in each row based on the values from those cells the max value will display.
2) if more than 2 cells have empty,NR or NA text means the entire row has to delete.
3) if 2 or more that means 3 cells having values the empty cell,NR or NA cell will place value with the condition of macro that is 75% of other values which is maximum among them.
I have a long range of cells (U3:AX3), all of which are empty save one. Is there a way to search through the range of cells, and return the contents of the one cell that contains text?
I would do this with a series of nested IF statements if there weren't more than 30 of them!
I want to extract first data from column Name where in the data corresponding to it in Column Marks is blank, and if that is filled, i want the next data to be shown automatically
Is it possible to make a cell "really" blank/empty based on an If statement? For instance:
=if(a1>10,a1,"")
Has a value_if_false of "". But Excel interprets this a bit differently than a cell that never had anything typed into it.
So if you have a column full of this formula copied down, and hit <control+down arrow>, you will go straight to the bottom and skip over all rows. Whereas if you have a column with values and empty cells alternating and hit <control+down arrow>, you will only skip the empty cells and go to the next value. Excel treats the conditionally empty cells as if they have a value, when it comes to this type of navigation. This holds even if you copy and paste "Values" for the cells over the formulas.
Is there any way to tell Excel to make the cells truly empty?
How I can look up non empty cells as shown in the below tables by use of a formula (I guess shifting data to the left without any empty cells between the data)?
I have a recordset that I get from Access and dump it onto an Excel spreadsheet. Many cells look empty but when I run a macro that depends on if these cells are empty it considers them not to be empty. Does anyone know what Access is putting in these empty cells?
Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A
Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).
there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.
I have data on 400 rows. Each row has a maximum of 10 cells with data, but many have empty cells with no data. I would like to sort each row to show values of cells in sequence and eliminate empty cells. I can use the sort row function but its a long process for 400 individual rows. Is there an easier way?
I have a spreadsheet where a column has many cells being empty and others with values. I need to use copy-paste skip blanks to another column so it only overwrites cells that contains values. BUT The cells in the column appears to be empty, not blank, when I try use the copy-paste skip blanks it doesnt work. However, when I press delete in every empty cell the copy-paste skip blanks works for those cells.
Do you got a fast method to make all the empty cells blank?
I’m trying to make my life a bit easier, by adding a few macros and formulas to the spreadsheet (Everything was done completely manually before I got here!!!). What I would like to do is take two columns, which contain a start and end time for work shifts, and colour them GREEN once I have entered a name in the Worker column (Along side the two with the time), and also to fill a cell with a Yes or a No. I’m aware of auto conditioning, and I’ve tried to have a play to get this to work, but I just can’t work it out. I have posted a link to an image which shows what I want. I hope I've explained it well enough!
I am trying to lock the unused cells in 32, 2 column by 7 row named ranges, based on whether or not two cells, above each range are equal or less than each other. In other words while one of the cells is less than or equal to the second cell all cells in the range below should be unlocked, as soon as that condition is no longer true the blank cells need to be locked.
I am trying to use this in the Workbook_Sheetcalculate so that the macro will run automatically.
I would like a macro that when run, finds empty cells in a column within the used range and fills them with the same formula in the other cells in the same column but relative to the row.
I have a basic understanding of VBA so if someone can set me on the right track i'll have a go myself as i appreciate this would take a while to write out from scratch.
I've run into a problem detecting empty cells. I'd like to search down a column of numbers and count the cells that contain numbers and ignore the cells that are empty. If the cells were made empty of their data by manually using the delete key before hand then my macro works fine. The problem is if the cells were manually made empty using the space bar to clear their contents.. then the macro seems unable to detect them as empty.
I have tried "", IsEmpty, and a few other things and nothing detects the cell as empty unless the delete key is used rather than the space bar. For this macro I really need the user to be able to clear values beforehand using the space bar, and to have those cleared cells be detected as empty cells.
I want to add across columns, which is not so difficult but I have to "ignore" the blank cells because of the way my formula works.
I'm not sure of the correct mathematical term for the addition I have to do but here is my example:
in this row are the values
1 2 3 4 5
In the row below I want to add the numbers so the result is
1 3 6 10 15
basically, a cell is always adding itself to the result of the sum from the previous cells. This formula I can handle, (=A2+B1 then autofill the results by dragging the formula across the empty cells) but when there are blank cells between values I get the error message! value. How can I write a formula which will ignore the empty cells?
I have a situation where I am trying to copy to blank cells. All the data is in Column A. In Column A there are Account numbers that are attached to dates in Column B and Transaction Amounts in Columns C & D.
If there are multiple dates with transactions, then Column A does not repeat, but is blank until the next Account number. I am trying to have the Account number fill in the blank cells until the next Account number. I have a macro that runs and picks up the Account number and then copies the data in Columns B - D. However, the blank cells are messing up the macro.
I have like 20 columns. I wonder if there is an Excel formula that will count all the non-empty cells across 20 columns. For example, if there are 10 non-empty cells from row B1 to U1 then enter 10 in the result cell A1 and so on down the number of rows. Or, on the other hand, count all the blank or empty cells from B1 to U1.
how to find the next empty cell and then copy the data down, however; I am trying to do almost the opposite. I need to be able to click on a cell and have that cell's data copied above it until there isn't another empty cell. I will attach a small portion of my worksheet for viewing. Column A has account numbers and Column B has the brand of product. Unfortunately when I imported this data into excel from our software program it lists all the brands and then the account number is listed on the last row of brands.
I was wondering what would be the best way to go about hiding either rows or columns based on whether a particular cell is empty or not. The reason being, I want a graph and table to only display data when present.
I need to paste these cells to the empty cells below.
The problem is that the first empty cell below could be any given row number (it will be dynamic) and the last row will also be any given row number (also dynamic).
How can I paste these 9 formula's to all rows below?
I have a number of worksheets, each sheet is set up like a data entry form, at the bottom of which is a command button that takes them to the next worksheet based on a value in a cell. what i want to do is before it takes them to the next worksheet it checks a selection of cells, if any of which are blank it shows an error message and wont allow them to continue, better still the cell that is blank it high lights with a red border.
a code, that looks at range "A" (xls down) and then goes over that amount of columns in "I" and warns if there are any blank cells and ends the macro if so.
How I might be able to create an IF statement that would look at various cells and if empty, would go to the next indicated cell, ect, until it found data and then conduct the sum analysis indicated in my formula below.
The cells identified in my formula, which look for "", I want to skip to the next as stated above if empty.
I have set up a spreadsheet in order to track and calculate the number of students we teach at our organization. It is running prohibitively slow when entering new data. On one sheet each individual session is entered (the school, program, date, number of hours etc.) This is the Session worksheet.
On the next sheet(the Program worksheet) the maximum number of students for each unique program (this is usually a combination of school and the program) is calculated to ensure we are not counting students we teach weekly as new students. This is calculated using a formula:
:{=MAX(IF(Session!G:G=Program!A2,Session!D:D))}. "Session!G:G" = the unique program name on the Session worksheet. "Program!A2" = the unique program name on the Program worksheet. "Session!D:D" = the number of students in that individual session...........
I have a bunch of "empty" cells. They only look empty visually. In fact, they contain something, because they are preventing some formulas from working. How do I cleanse them and make them truly empty without disturbing the contents of the other cells containing real data.
