Figuring Out Which Function To Use For Scenario

May 14, 2008

Need constructing a formula and im not too sure which function to use.
Im also not sure if its even possible or im missing a required column to help make it possible.

(arrival Time)---(c1)--(c2)--(served by)---(time served)---(exit time)
-------A---------B-----C--------D----------E----------------F
1----9.00am-----0-----0--------1----------2mins-----------9.02am
2----9.01am-----1-----0--------2----------15mins----------9.16am
3----9.05am-----0-----1--------1----------2mins-----------9.07am
4----9.06am-----1-----1--------?----------xmins-----------x.xxam

Column A = Arrival time
Column B = Number of customers in Counter #1 as of arrival time
Column C = Number of customers in Counter #2 as of arrival time
Column D = to be Served By Counter:
Column E = Mins being served before exiting the counter/que
Column F = exit time
rows = customers entering a que.............

Creating A Scenario Matrix

Mar 9, 2007

Creating a Scenario Matrix. I am using Excel XP. Simplifying the problem, I have a formula;

Cell A1 has X,
Cell A2 has Y
Cell A3 has Z

X * Y = Z

I want to find the answers when X is between “1” and “5” and Y is between “1” and “5”. I want this to be in a matrix so I want the answers:

1 2 3 4 5
1
2
3
4
5

I cannot use Scenario Manager; it would record the answers on the pivot table or summary which is what I want BUT I would have to type every combination (1,1), (1,2) etc!

Shortening My Code For Multiple Case Scenario

Jul 3, 2007

I have a combo box that is used very simply to select a column from sheet and copy that whole column down to where text ends into a specific column in another sheet. I.e whatever column is selected ends up in column B of this other sheet. At the moment I've been using If functions for each case but there must be a more efficient way of doing this; here is just a sample of my

If textseries1.Text = "Fund01" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("C1:C" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If

If textseries1.Text = "Fund02" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("D1:D" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If

If textseries1.Text = "Fund03" Then
With Sheets("data")
Range("E1:E" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With
Sheets("calculations").Range("B1").PasteSpecial
End If

There are about 75 columns in total but thought it would be a little repetitive to put it all up here!

Solver & Scenario: Make A Comparison Of Two Different Staff To Customer Ratios

May 22, 2006

This is what I’ve been trying to do. There are 3 different work schedules for each employee. Each employee gets 2 days off in a row. At the top of the employee schedule worksheet, there are 3 schedules. The zeroes represents days off for that schedule and the 1’s represents days worked. Ok, Cells c7 thru c17 display total staff needed for that day Cells c8 thru c18 display average number of customer on a particular day Cells c9- 19 display number of needed based on a staff to customer ratio of 1 employee per 80 customers B11 displays that ratio

I need to make a comparison of two different staff to customer ratios. My goal is to find lowest total payroll while adequately staffing the store. In B13 I want to enter the daily salary amount for 1 employee at $10 hr/8 hrs per day

In A16 enter total payroll amount
Total staff B7 times salary in B13

Use solver to find minimum payroll amount
Target cell is total payroll found in A16
Target cell must be = to minimum value................

Creating Spreadsheet - Figuring Cost Of Favorite Recipes

Nov 3, 2013

I want to create a spreadsheet for figuring the cost of some of my favorite recipes. Right now I have a table of basic ingredients (milk, sugar, etc) along with cost of same.

What I want to do is be able to set up a recipe that calls for "3 eggs, 1 sugar, 1 milk" and automatically figure the cost for me.

Ideally, I'd like this to be a "building block" spreadsheet - where I can have a recipe for "roux" (1 flour, 1 butter), and then a recipe for "broth" (1 chicken, 3 water), and then a recipe for "gravy" (1 roux, 2 broth) - where the spreadsheet is smart enough to do the math for me - and if the price of chicken goes up, I can change that in my basic list and it will carry down. And obviously, I want to be able to add ingredients and recipes easily.

Figuring List Price - Cost To Show Discount Percentage

Apr 25, 2006

List Price $46.98 (e2)
Net Cost $19.53 (e3)

How do I enter a calculation that will show me my discount percentage from my supplier? (e4)

I then need to be able to drag the formula to the end of the sheet. Discount percentages will be different for each product, but the List Price and Net Costs are present, so the calculation needs to take these differences into consideration so that I get the correct discount percentage for each item.

Conditional Formatting: OFFSET Function To Define A Range Inside A SUM Function

Apr 13, 2007

In Mr Excel's Pod Cast on April 12th, he showed how to use the OFFSET function to define a range inside a SUM function. Then he had Conditional Formatting that would highlight the range that was being summed. Can anyone tell me what the formula would be inside the Conditional Formatting dialog box to get the OFFSET range to have a certain format?

Calling Function That Acts On Matrix Range Within Another Function

Jul 23, 2013

I have a function

VB:
Function f1(Matrix As Range)
'Does something and returns f1 = a double
End Function

And a second function which defines and constructs a matrix of doubles to use as an argument in f1 to return a double:

VB:
Function f2(dD As Double)
Dim MatrixRed() As Double
Redim MatrixRed(1 To dD, 1 To 10)
For i = 1 To dD
For j = 1 To 10
MatrixRed(i, j) = i * j
Next
Next
f2 = f1(MatrixRed)
End Function

I get an output error (#VALUE). I think it has something to do with MatrixRed not being a range anymore?

Nesting Index / Match Function Within Vlookup Function?

Dec 3, 2013

let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.

[Code]....

This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.

I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:

This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in
Match: Lookup value = $E3
Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1
match type = 0

This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered

Match: Lookup value = $A$4
Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452
match type = 0

Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452

So I think my final function is

[Code] .....

But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.

Function To Mirroring Cell Relative To Function's Location

Jul 17, 2008

I have created a List in excel of various tasks. (See attached example.) Each row contains one cell with a function which equals the cell above it and to the right. So the function for cell C3 would be D2. The only importance is that the cell mirrored is always the cell one above and to the right. However, now I would like to be able to rearrange this List, but the “one up and to the right” function will now be all over the place.

Is someone aware of a function which will target a relative location instead of an exact cell?

Force Function To Use Row Relative To Cell Housing Function

Mar 2, 2008

I have been looking around have this much code from this site, modified. What I am trying to do is calculate numbers by a position with cells D through K having numeric values. I have 'hardcoded' the cells (D2, E2, etc in the code below), but in reality I only want the current row (so if the formula is on the 2nd row, I want D2, if it is on the 3rd row, I want D3).

My problem is obviously the formula isn't working because I am not correctly tying back to the spreadsheet (Positioncalc.xls). When I put the formula in the spreadsheet it works, but in my script I get 0 everytime.

My Script:

Function Position(rCell As Range, Optional RightPosition As Boolean)
Dim vResult

Select Case rCell.Text
Case "QB"
vResult = (2*D2) + (2*E2) + (2*F2) + (4*G2) + (2*H2) + (1*I2) + (4*J2) + (3*K2)
Case Else
vResult = "Invalid Position"
End Select

If RightPosition = True Then
Position = vResult
Else
Position = "Position not valid"
End If

End Function

So, when I put =Position(A2,True) I expect to see the formula results of those cells calculated based on the position (QB, HB, etc with their unique formulas).

My next challenge after this is to highlight certain cells based on the Position. So if A2 = QB, I want cell D2 boldface and Red, etc. I have seen some scripts on colors and such here, so I might be able to figure it out.

2007 Right Function With Embeded Find Function

Mar 26, 2009

I have a range of cells, for this example I will use 2.

Cell E17 = 77/170
Cell E18 = 8/9

Using the following formula: =SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)))

This bring back an #VALUE! Error as the second part of the formula keeps picking up "/9" however the first part works fine, displaying "170"

Now if I use:
=SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)-1))
It all works. The problem is that I need this to be automatic using the above way means having to add a "-1" to every formula for a cell with only 1 char to be added.

Using the formula:
=SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)-1))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)-1)).....

Concatif Function Breaks Beforedoubleclick Function Just By Being There?

Nov 19, 2009

I have a tracking sheet (attached) that has many functions, but I'm having trouble with two of them. First of all, I have a Worksheet_Change event set that when a cell is cleared, it fills the cell with a formula to use the record above it as a default value if another cell is equivalent. This worked when I first wrote it, but now it seems to break every other time I use it. When assigning the formula it returns a Method Default/FormulaR1C1/Offset failed error message. It seems to be different for each one, each time and I can't figure out what the problem is.

The other problem I'm having is that I wrote a BeforeDoubleClick event to expand or contract any given record, or series of records. this too worked when I initially wrote it, but now is only hiding one row when it should be hiding eight or more.
I'm not terribly versed in VBA and totally baffled as to why I'm having these problems. As I side note, any ideas to clean up any of the code and make this run smoother (as ther will be many more series added when complete).

Scoping Function As Public - But Not Available As Worksheet Function

Sep 24, 2012

I have a user defined function in one VBA module that I'd like to call from another module, so I would normaly scope it as "Public".

However, as I don't want it to be available to Excel as a worksheet function, I would also normally scope it as "Private"

Is there a way to have a function that is available to other VBA modules in the same project, but not to Excel as a worksheet function?

Vlookup Function Together With An Offset Function

I am trying to use the vlookup function together with an offset function but i am not getting it to work properly.

The situation is as follows:

I have a column E in which i use the vlookup function to find its corresponding value in B which in turn refers to a named range. However, the figure i want the function to return is 2 columns to the right and 2 rows above the value which the vlookup funtion finds in the first column.

I have though of using the offset function, but i cannot figure out how to make this work.

Work Around To The 7 Function Limit With The IF Function

Nov 11, 2008

I'm comfortable with the IF statements in excel and not familir with many of the other functions available to me. I am trying to create a character calulator for Elder Scrolls III (Marrowind). So that a person may enter their race, ***, and other choices and their by calculating all starting stats. There are 10 races you can choose from and I can cover 9 of them with the if function (leaving one as if all other options are false). I would like to know if there is a better way such as a drop down list or some way to search an array or anything that would be better suited to search the race cell and return data if it's true. I'm running into the same probably with choosing the constalation (13 choices in this catagory).

I thought to split it two different data fields, by letting you choose from 4 in one cell and the other 9 in a different cell, but realized I don't know how to make it check two different cells for a choice to return it to the display cell without hitting the limitation of the 7 nested funcations in a forumla again.
