View 5 Replies View RelatedIs 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?
I am using a simple =Right(A1,4) is there a way to change this so it looks in cell A1 and if the is character is a zero then only give me the 3 characters fromthe right?
so if A1 = sweden 2041 it would give me 2041
but if A1 = sweden 0411 it would give me 411.
How to calculate the average of a set of numbers through excel formula when I want to ignore few skewed values. e.g. 1,3,2,5,90,2,4,56. I want to calculate average of the above set by ignoring the effect of two skewed numbers viz. 90 and 56.

So, for example, transfer the data in column "A" below to column "C" below omitting any blanks when the formula automatically copies data over:

I have a grade system where I need to obtain an "Average" of grade data within four cells. At time there may onlt be two cells with a value or three. Example: The cell cell cantain a value of 100 points with the totral of 400 point. AS we know the "Average" would be 100 points. But is only two cells cantained 100 point and the other two where empty then the "Average" come back as 50 points. Because I have 4 cells that requires a value input. So my question is how do I create a formula that will give the correct value for the "Average" of data that is placed in the cells. The values are calculated as a total from the grades entered. That total is in F14, F31, F48, F65 - Now if F14 has a value of 100, and F31 has a value of 100 then the "Average" should be 100, but it is not for the is calculating F48, and F65 as 4 values, so the return is 50. The situtation is that I need all the cells for in some cases data will be necessary, but I need the "average" to be calcalated for only the values entered.
Where is the Formula.
=IF(SUM(F14,F31,F48,F65)=0,0,AVERAGE(F14,F31,F48,F65)) - My brain says this is simple but no matter what I do it returns 50.
I have a sheet that I put a blank row before every change in column G,
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
lr = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lr To 2 Step -1
If Range("G" & i).Value Range("G" & i - 1).Value Then
Rows(i).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
End If
Next i
and now I need formulas in columns B and I in those blank rows. I'm happy to roll it in to the above piece of code, or put it in after.
I don't think I can use LastRow to define my range and replace blanks with formula because of the blank rows. I would need more of a "LastRow with only one blank in between populated rows" if such a thing exists.
The formulas will be ="*"&H3&" DWG "&G3 for cell B2 and =I3 for cell I2.
I have tried a number of different ones from my search of this forum but I'm getting an error. here is a sample of my spreadsheet.
I want it to give me the lowest number, I don't want it to look at the 0's or if the cell is blank.
Here is my formula and my error:
=SMALL(N196:N203,COUNTIF($N$196:$N$203,0)+1)
my error is #num!
I've also tried others including using the MIN function but either 0 is entered or the error above.

I think I understand what you were talking about now with the generation of the watchbill using the rand() and sort. You were trying to get me to get rid of the whole system I was using before and use only the rand and sort. I thought you were asking me to incorperate the rand sort thing into the randomization process I already had using offset etc. The whole thing works good now, however, because the column Ive designated for the roster names may or may not always be filled the formula sometimes refers to empty cells in that column thus producing 0s on the watchbill. I was thinking maybe (if its possible) having a formula to identify a 0 and if so skip to the next cell down. The formula would repeat until it found a name without a zero in it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am creating a fantasy football draft board using excel. To keep it short and sweet, each individual team (one per column) has a $200 budget to draft players. Each team must fill 14 roster positions (one per row), but here's the catch; you must spend at least $1 on all of the 14 players on your roster. So you have a maximum bid amount which is your remaining budget subtracted by $1 for every remaining spot you have left to fill.
I have already created a "remaining budget" field which subtracts each drafted player's inserted dollar amounts from the $200... easy. Beneath this, I'd like to create another cell per team that tells you your "maximum bid," which is essentially 200, -1 for every cell that remains blank. I have played around with the conditional IF formulas but cannot seem to have it account for multiple cells.
As a workaround, I have made columns hidden beneath the board which contain the conditional IF, ISBLANK fields which are -1 if true and 0 if false. Then creating the "remaining budget" field that subtracts these values from 200. This works, but it's not perfect, as when you have multiple players you still need to draft and you've exhausted your budget only saving $1 for each, it overstates your "maximum bid" by $1, or when you have $X left and you need to only fill one more spot, it ill tell you your "maximum bid" is $X-1.
I have a list of assessment scores for students with a matching grade in text form. I want to show the percentage of students that receive "Adv" and "Pro" grades out of the total number of students (cells with data). But I have extra cells in case students are added during the year. I need to have the formula ignore any empty cells and count all of the "Adv" + "Pro" grades divided by number of students with data. I would like to do this by including the extra cells in the formula so I don't need to amend the formula should students be added. This is the formula so far. Maybe there is a totally better way to write this formula.
=SUM(COUNTIF(C7:C60,"*"&{"Pro","Adv"}&"*"))/COUNTA(C7:C60)
I have a table that looks similar to the below. I want to be able to extract the numbers between the brackets and add all up in the last column (as shown in example below).
I have used something like the below however it returns #VALUE in column F because of the empty cells.

I have a spreadsheet that uses IF(C5>J5,(EDATE(C5,12)),(EDATE(J5,12)))__ IF(J9<D9,(D9-$N$1)) where N1 is current date. If C5 and J5 are empty how do I get it to ignore the formula and just leave the other cells blank?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi am having trouble putting together an IF Formula together with and/or. i need to do the following
if cells k8 and l8 and r8 are empty, then no data should show.
if cells k8 and l8 and r8 is zero, then show zero.
otherwise add all three cells.
i thought i should use if(and... that is all 3 cells must be empty or zero.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(K8),ISBLANK(L8),ISBLANK(R8)), "no data", IF(OR(K8=0, L8=0, R8=0),"ZERO", K8+L8+R8))
i have tried if(and) and if(or) and no matter what i have tried it doesnt work
Is there a formula to count empty cells on a excel sheet?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have the following code, what it does is, it locate those empty cells in column M and insert the formula "=TODAY()". What i need the code to do is only insert to the empty cells in column M if there is a value(as long as is not empty) in the reference cell of column E.

I'm looking to put a formula in the last column (Card Valid/Invalid (N3:N8)).
I want this formula to say IF Project Name OR Start date OR Due Date or Type OR Author OR VS are empty then I want the last column to say Invalid else if all of these columns are filled in then give valid. Also if a completed date or no. of review loops are filled in but not both then give Invalid but if both are filled in then as well as all the rest of the info give Valid.
Project Name - Valid/Invalid is B2-N2
I have a long OR function that I'm working on. The logicals for this change the search value from 1 to 9. Here is one of the logicals:
sumproduct(--isnumber(search(1,???)))=0
I need the "???" to be the arrays. The most complex of these will be: A1:C1&a2&c2&a3:c3 or is it
A1:c1,a2,c2,a3:c3 or perhaps another join method like
concatinate(a1:a3,a2,c2,a3:c3)
How do you join arrays to get the right result?
Is a Cell with a formula (like shown below) considered true, or is it empty?
=IF(Scorecard!$B$13,Scorecard!$AD$4,"")
If Scorecard!$B$13 was False...
Would a cell with the above formula be considered?
True or Empty?
If Scorecard!$B$13 was True...
A cell with the above formula would be True.
I need creating a formula for the following situation.
I need to link multiple arrays from different sheets. But am having a hard time concocting a formula that will work.
I have 2 columns of data on sheet1. For example:
A-------------B
apples-----1245
oranges----456
nuts--------384
etc.
Now, I need a formula that will sum the entire column B, by looking up the array of column A on another sheet and only summing the numbers on sheet 1 that also have a value of "West" on sheet 2. Sheet 2 looks like this:
A-------------B
apples------West
oranges-----East
nuts---------West
This needs to be functional as a template to be used each month - the entire point of the formula is to save time and eliminate the current (and lengthy method that is in use). I can tweak the formulas as needed. But am trying to avoid having to concatenate anything or do any modifications to the format of the sheets.
1 workbook, 2 worksheets (or tabs). On tab 1, I want a formula/alert that tells the user if any duplicate values exist in Column A of tab 2
Tab 2, Column A, has Unique ID's (6 digit numeric values)
The user manually inputs the ID's on new rows in Column A
Row 1 is reserved and in use for something else
Row 2 is my header, so cell A2 says "ID"
Row 3-623 currently contain unique ID's
When the user inputs a new ID into cell A624, then they return to Tab 1, I want my formula/alert on Tab 1 to tell the user that they have duplicates in Column A of tab 2. I know the Conditional Formatting, but if the user copies in 100 new values, they won't necessarily see the highlighted cells. My tab 1 is my "checks and balances" and the last place the user is suppposed to look to ensure that they haven't created any duplicate ID's. If the user sees a warning message that says duplicates exist, then I'll tell them that they need to look at column A (for cells that have been conditionally highlighted).
One issue that I'm running into with the conditional highlighting is that I want cells A3:A1048576 to already have the conditional formatting - this way when the user inserts a value into Cell A624, then A625, etc they conditional formatting is already there. Right now with data in cells A3:A623, cells A624:A1048576 are all highlighted with the Red/Bold Red Font (which is okay I guess), but ideally it would be nice to not count 2+ empty cells as duplicates and I'll have to have my formula on Tab 1 not include the blank cells.
I DO NOT want to use the Remove Duplicates feature of Excel 2010. If I remove them I could be removing data in columns B, C, D, etc that belong to the Unique ID. I just need the user to be told in Tab 1 that they DO have duplicates and I'll train the user how to research this and fix it.
The reason I want to look for duplicates in the entire Column A is because the list of Unique ID's will grow over time.
I need to rank the top 3 names for each location based on gender (see sample data table below).
My spreadhseet has been setup using dynamic named ranges ("Size", "Name", "Gender", "Location" and "Score") using the formula "Size"=MATCH("zzzzz",'Sheet1'!$A:$A) and then "Name" =OFFSET('Sheet1'!$A$2,0,0,Size), and so on for "Gender", "Location" and "Score".
Is there a way to design an array rank formula using the dynamic named ranges to return the name associated with the highest score for "M"s in location "N"? I want to be able to edit the formula so I can chose which rank to display (e.g. 3rd, 7th, etc).
I've been playing with the following but can't get it to work
{=RANK(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(Gener,{"M"},0)),IF(Location{"N"},0),Score)}

I have four cells that I want to sum: =SUM(D3,H3,L3,P3)
I want to EXCLUDE the cell from the sum if the preceeding cell (C3,I3,K3,O3) has a value of "0".
I have a column that contains labels that are entered down to row 400. Below row 400 in the same column are formulas. If I do a filter on that column I get formula results in the filter list from the formula cells. Is there a way to omit the formula cells on the column that's being filtered? In other words, only list data in rows down to 400 in the filter list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am learning how to create functions. All is going well, except when I auto fill for future input, the cells fill will all kinds of N/A or Null stuff etc.. I was trying to figure out how to do an IF statement like in my example below, that when the cell of reference is empty, keep it empty...but it is not working. take a look at it and tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using a grading system example...when a grade is put in, the corresponding letter grade fills, but when no grade value is entered, I want to keep the cells empty.

i just want to ask if its possible to insert fomula in empty row..
for example i have 22 columns.. 1-3 columns is data and col 4 is value the formula start in col 5-22 which is based on col 4 if that column has a value and i have so many rows its possible to insert formula in col 5-22 automatically not one by one?
I want to count all the cells in a range that visibly contain no data, so either have no formula or are =""
I tried both of the following with no success
=COUNTIF(A1:A9,"""")
=COUNTIF(A1:A9,"""""")
Here is the scenario:
A B C D
BananasApplesOrangesTotal113=A1+B1+C1
I need to reference the formula in D1 with the cells headers names.
In a perfect world, it would take
=A1+B1+C1:
and produce:
=Bananas+Apples+Oranges
I want to make the formula: x=SUM(A * e^(-b*d)), wherein A and b are parameters and d the distance.
I've just over 10.000 rows and 15 columns (B4 to P10013) with distances. For each column i give a formula =$S$2*EXP(-$R$2*B4) and extent that for all colums and rows, then I sum all the columns. This works fine, except for the fact that when there is an empty cell the outcome is wrong. Because I set for example A as 10. The answer for that cell is 10, because he sees an empty cell as 0, i guess.
So how do I skip these empty cells?
