View 9 RepliesI have a program that uses a query to grab data from overseas. I have an issue where some precision is apparently lost and I was curious if there was a way around this.
As an example of what is going on I have a specific piece of data I am tracking. The value is 14.9 in the SQL database and it's datatype there is a real of length 4. After grabbing this item from the query I checked the record set and the value is still 14.9. After it reaches the worksheet though it is displayed as 14.89999962. The destination cell is currently formatted as General but I have tried Text as well. Both produce the same results. As this tool is very general I would not have it formatted as a number as I don't know what I am getting back exactly.
I know computers store real/single values inprecisely but I see it everywhere else as 14.9. I would think Excel would display what I am seeing. Is there anyway around this short of formatting the cell as number with 1 decimal place?
This "If" wont work, does anyone have an idea why? I have try hard coded, with "" and without, i tried to assgind the field value to another double patameter and still nothing. This is my last try where i converted it to double type

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way I can get excel (2007) to limit itself to 2 decimal places for all numbers entered? So effectively I don't want use the formulas TRUNC or ROUND (or any other formula) but I would like rather excel to behave like my calculator where I can limit the decimals to 2 no matter how many I input.
In other words, every time a input a number, excel will round it up automatically to 2 decimal places and the number available will have 2 decimals only. Is there any option hidden somewhere in the Excel options that I couldn't find?
I have a very large spreadsheet which holds a lot of data, and has a custom reports system built into it, (i.e. running on a load of macro's)... The reports gather their info from a range of hidden cells which run different formula's to provide such results as 1 or 0 so that it collates into another sheet...
however, I have found recently that when I need to update any of the formula's and whatnot, the formula does the calculation and then disappears... whereas I need the formula to be there constantly so that the report is providing the correct information!
one such formula is:
=IF(AND(AC11"No Calc",AC11>=1,AC11
I have a number of houses & a number of water plants (as in water processing plants, not the green kind!) Each water plant can provide a certain % water coverage to all properties. 'All Properties' is classed as the number of houses + the number of water plants. The 'coverage' as a percentage is given by the formula:
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a formla that will delete a formula when it has done its calculation, or stop the formula from constantly updating.
I've got a formula
=IF(COUNTA(A1)=1,TODAY(),"")
When something is typed in Cell A1 the cell with the formula will input todays date.
Is there a formula that will stop this formula from updating, as when you go into the file on a different day the date would have been updated.
I put my margin in G6 of the data sheet and the cost are the numbers on the Mail Rates sheet.
cost/(1-G6) and then round result up to next .25
=VLOOKUP(Calculator!E6,'Mail Rates'!A2:D32,Calculator!D6+1,FALSE)
I am using the vlookup above to bring the mail rates to a calculator. I want to add a margin to the mail rates before they reach the calculator.
The margin amount is in G6 of the "data" sheet and the margin formula is "mail rate"/(1-G6)
I would then like to round the result up to the next .25 dollar

I am trying to calculate the present value of a terminal period in Excel. The manual calculation and excel PV function are off by about $98,000. Both calculations are using the same capitalization rate and terminal life. My PV Excel formula is as follows: =PV(discount rate-growth rate,remaining term (years),-terminal cash flow,,0)*present value factor in last year of cash flow) What is causing the difference in values? Is there something in the Excel formula that is causing the difference?

View 2 Replies View Relatedif i could get a hand creating a commission calculation.. here is what i'm looking for and my brain hurts trying to make it... I put in excel an employees gross fees for a month,, their commission calculation is based on the following scheudule, for which i'd love an easy calculation, function, code etc. for..
$0 - $10,000 - 60% commission
$10,001 - $15,000 - 65% commission
$15,001+ - 70% commission..
i'm sure this seems simple, but i just can't get it because if for instance their first gross fee is $12,000, i don't know how to have it calculate the first $10,000 at 60% and the last $2,000 at 65%.
ps.. my excel sheet is set up as follows:
Rows a-g (stuff that is irrelivant)
row h, gross fees
row i, commission (in dollars)
There has to be a way to make this more simple. I want to add upp a simple calculation more or less in infinity =SUM(($D$1*D6)+($D$1*E6)+($D$1*F6)+($D$1*G6)+($D$1*H6)+($D$1*I6)+($D$1*J6)+($D$1*K6) .. etc etc..
View 3 Replies View Related1. In neighborhoods that have zero units in a given price range I have it to display "-" , because this unit is not actually zero, the data is not available. Therefore a #VALUE! is displayed for the percent because it cannot calculate the "-". How do I get excel to glance over "-" and flag it for no calculation?
2. For the percentages I am having to manually do them row by row. I would like to set it up in a manner that allows me to copy the formula down by column and across by row correctly.
For instance in the percent for Mira Lagos I have =B4/N3 where b4 is the units for mira lagos and n3 is the total. I can drag that formula across by rowto get all the correct percentages for mira lagos price ranges only, but I cannot copy this formula down by column to any of the other neighborhoods. In otherwords I have to do a new formula for each subdivision.
e.g.
Grand Peninsula=B5/N3
Meadow Glen(Mansfield)=B6/N3
...etc
Again I would like to make it so I can copy the formula across by row and down by column so excel will automatically compute it.
I came across the solution to this post - [URL] ..... - and was just wondering how to adjust the formula so that it calculates the correct tax starting from the net amount.
Say for example, an employee is paid a fixed, after-tax salary amount, and the employer is responsible for covering the tax - the salary payment needs to be "grossed-up" to calculate the correct amount of tax.
With 'tax brackets' as follows:
Taxable incomeTax on income (2011 – 2012)Tax rate
$0 – $6,000Nil0%
$6,001 – $37,00015c for each $1 over $6,00015%
$37,001 – $80,000$4,650 plus 30c for each $1 over $37,00030%
$80,001 – $180,000$17,550 plus 37c for each $1 over $80,00037%
Over $180,000$54,550 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,00045%
The formula to calculate tax, starting from the gross amount, is:
[Code] ......
I'm trying to do this:
Column A, B C
A has lets say 100 elements with certain ratings.
B has has a,b or c for each rating from column A.
C returns a for each rating from column A.
I search for a rating with this formula:
= INDEX(range,MATCH(rating;range,1,1,1))
Now I have the relative position of the rating in that range. Now I want to search for "b" in column B that reflects that rating. For instance:
Columns:
10 a 1
20 c 1
30 b 1
40 c 2
...
Search rating = 40 so C would be the answer.
But in that range A1:B4 I want to search for the position of the last b from column B
I tried this but I can't calculate the ranges:
match("b";b1:b1+x,0))
x= INDEX(a1:a100,MATCH(40;a1:a100,1,1,1))
I've tried an if statement with AND function with no luck either.
my spreadsheet looks like this:
A1 = "One", B1 = 17/08/2013, C1 = 1000.00
A2 = "Two", B2 = 16/08/2013, C2 = 500.00
A3 = "One", B3 = 17/07/2013, C3 = 1500.00
A4 = "Two", B4 = 13/07/2013, C4 = 400.00
A5 = "Two", B5 = 14/07/2013, C5 = 300.00
"One" represents the total that needs to be paid and "Two" represents the payments.
What I want to do is recognise when "One" is present and deduct "two" from that amount, but the whole spreadsheet is never the same (the data is being pasted from somewhere else) so it's really, really difficult to do that.
So I want to do =1000-500 (for that period, so in D2 it should say 500) and then =1500-400-300 (for the other period so in D5 it should say 800).
NB: Any payment ("two") that comes in after the 17th of the month will be carried forward to the next months "one".
I have a very basic formula, and I'd like it to ignore a blank cell. The sheet has cells A1, B1, and C1. I want the formula to subtract A1 from B1, and display the difference in C1. B1-A1=C1
Currently, if A1 has a value (it always has a value in that column) and B1 does not, C1 shows the negative value of A1. Ex: A1= 100, B1= blank. [blank cell] - 100 = -100
I want C1 to show nothing unless there's a value in B1.
How do I construct the formula so that it doesn't do the calculation for blanks?

I get a "#value" error message when I utilize the formula noted below. I seperated it into distinct sections so that it is easier to view. Basically, what the formula is doing is determining whether if two values are the same, then take the absolute difference of the average of other values ,excluding one of the previously noted values, and compare that difference to a different parameter. If the difference does not exceed the parameter, then calculate the difference; otherwise the ending result is zero. Pls. note that the error seems to occur when I input the fifth section into the formula.

I need to locate/write a formula that can calculate the declining balance on revolving interest loans, such as a credit card. The formula needs to calculate the number of remaining monthly payments based on a stated interest rate and payment amount (i.e., present balance $2000, annual interest rate 18.99%, payment $60 per month). And then, if possible, the formula also needs to translate the answer into a definite Month and Year going forward from today's date (or calculated in another cell of the worksheet for display).
In essence the formula would begin as
(2000 + (2000 * (.1899/365)) * 30) - 60 =
then repeat the calculation using the answer above, and so on, until the original principal amount had declined to $0, and finally count the number of months it do to get there. This is essentially a mortgage type of calculation.
I know I could write the formula repeatdly one month at a time across a few hundred/thousand cells, but there must be a more economical way to do so.
