I am trying to get a formula sorted out, that if a date is entered into column J, this changes the date in column F. But if there is no date in column J then nothing changes to column F.
View 8 RepliesI have used Excel for a number of years and have gotten on ok on my own working out simple formulas myself but I have been stuck on this one for a while. Is it possible to enter a value into a cell and have a predefined formula that works with the data that I enter?? I would like to enter a value between 1-10 and the cell then takes this number and multiplies it by a value in another cell. Eg.
I have a cell that displays £10 (let's say D6)
In another cell I enter 8
I would then like the cell to do the formula =8*D6 automatically, as this value can be different each time (1-10)
I seem to be unable to crack the bug in my macro... I want to define 2 variables before launching the next macro with the defined variables.
When I run this macro - the debugger points all the time to the following line: ...
I need to construct a text only database to keep track of an ever changing catalogue. The contained data will have three levels to it and look something like this:
Company 1
................Product 1
.............................Extra 1
.............................Extra 2
.............................Extra 3
................Product 2
.............................Extra 1
.............................Extra 2
Company 2
................Product 3
.............................Extra 4
................Product 4
.............................Extra 4
.............................Extra 5
...and so on
As you can see, the database will contain several companies, each selling their own products, each with certain extra's available. My main aim is to have an easily updateable list that can be summarised quickly into a company and their available products and extra's. The database hasn't been constructed yet. Have you guys got any tips or ideas on the best way of setting this out to keep it as flexible as possible?
My first thoughts were along these lines:
Company.........Product.........Extra
......1......................1.................1
......1......................1.................2
......1......................1.................3
......1......................2.................1
...and so on
Does this look to be the easiest way? Obviously there would be quite a bit of duplication in column A and B but as far as I can tell this is unavoidable.
I also have grand aspirations of having a front worksheet with a customised form that allows me to select the company from a dropdown list and then having it populate a list of the products and available extra's. Would I need to use VBA and if so how would I go about doing it? Is it possible to include something to export the results out to a new word or excel document? Eventually I would like to be able to hide the database and have data entry/removal made by way of a similar form. I must admit that this is currently out of my scope so chances are I may reply with further questions.
I'm developing a spreadsheet that is generating relatively simple source code. As far as excel is concerned, based on columns of data in the first sheet, generate other sheets - conceptually straightforward, but the formulas are getting stupid long. For example, suppose I have 4 columns:
Needs A, Needs B, Needs C, and Needs D.
If there is a "Y" in any of these columns, I need to generate corresponding text that is concatenated together:
=if(a1=="Y") use "Field1[if1]"
=if(b1=="Y") use "Field2[if2]"
=if(c1=="Y") use "Field3[if3]"
=if(d1=="Y") use "Field4[if4]"
The result in some other column could be (samples):
Field1[if1]
Field1[if1].Field2[if2]
Field3[if3]
Field2[if2].Field4[if4]
a couple of notes:
- you can have field 2 without field 1, etc.
- if there is a trailing field, then I need a period separating the two.
Needing this separating period between some of the columns is driving me bat crap crazy. My approach to this point is to build work sheets that feed the main page, thus isolating the logic complexity. This seems to be the only way to segment the processing into something one can edit.
is there a formula that will look at A2 and if the date in that column shows May 5, 2013, then in E2 it enters June 1, 2013? I would like E2 to automatically populate the first of the following month of A2.

Below is an exctract from a much larger sheet of the columns in question.
The result in the last column should be 21/05/2014 for anything with D.O.001 in the second column and 15/05/2014 for anything with D.O.002.

I have a formula that counts if a date range is present. However I need to change it to count another column only if that date range is present. For example a17 a50000 the user will enter the date of the order. and in column B has the order number. I want the formula to count the order numbers for a data range in column A.
Here is what I have but it is counting the dates in col A not the order numbers in B?
I have a form in which users will manually enter a date in Column A. I would like to create a formula in Column B which will add 4 days to the date based upon Column A. However, the 4 days should only be added to a select set of dates which I would like to specify. If the date is not found in this select set of dates, then the result in Column B should be the same date as Column A.

I'm trying to create a list that references an existing data set where I have staff listed month by month and based on today's date, imports only if there is data in that column. I have figured out how to check if the cell is blank or not, but what I want to do now is change the cell that is referenced in the formula based on the date. Here is the format of the spreadsheet I'm working with:
A
B
C
D

In this case, the "Team 1" and "Team 2" and "Team 3" references what team they are on that month. If it is blank, they aren't with the company any longer. The formula I am using is intended to import this data elsewhere, and is formatted like this:
=IF(ISBLANK(B2), "", A2) - My understanding is that this checks to see if B2 has data, and if it does, it inputs the employee name (A3) in that cell.
My ultimate goal is to be able to change the column referenced after the "isblank" calculation based on the date. So if today is April 2013, I want it to check B2, but if it's December 2013, I want the formula to check J2. Is there a way to do this? I don't mind if it's two steps (like if I have to put the date somewhere in the spreadsheet in order to run the calculation), but ultimately it would be the type of thing I could do that would leverage the existing data set so that I don't have to maintain two different spreadsheets of information.
I need an IF formula, that states if a date is more than a month after the date in the cell then it is timely and if it isn't then it is not timely. For example the date in A1 is 12/11/05, if the cell is A2 is 13/12/05 (or any date after that) then A3 should read Not Timely, if A2 is 12/12/05 (or any date before that, including a date before the date in A1) then A3 should read Timely. Is there any way to do this?? At the moment I am having to go through manually and put in either Timely or Not Timely.

I have an excel sheet wherin there is a column that has the data where in the dates are displayed and many other columns.
I get this excel every Thursday so i want to filter this date column in such a way that it give me the data related to the date of the previous week only yet there is a catch here. When i say previous week i mean.
Suppose today is 03/14/14 then i want the data from 03/07/14 till today ie Last week friday to this week full( so cant use Current week option) and then paste it in a new sheet.
I tried the Record part but in that it is taking a hard coded value as i am selecting the date myself. I dont want to change the date manually every time.
this was the macro that was created
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$BX$58").AutoFilter Field:=1, Operator:= _
xlFilterValues, Criteria2:=Array(1, "3/10/2014")
Range("A59").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNT(R[-4]C:R[-1]C)"
Range("A60").Select

I have to excel files
1. Temperature & Humidity Reading
2. Summary
I tried to copy a date from Temperature & Humidity Reading file using the formula ='[Temperature & Humidity Reading.xlsx]Sensor 7'!$C$2 to Summary file
if the date format is like this 6/10/2013 12:00:00 AM the result is fine, but when i try to copy that formula for the succeeding dates the results is same from what i copied.
Let's say I have thousands of employees, but I need to determine who worked for me during a particular date range, and all I have to go on is their start date in one column and their end date in another column.
If:
A1 contains beginning date of employment
B1 contains ending date of employment
C1 contains specified beginning date (criteria)
D1 contains specified ending date (criteria)
Cell B1 contains a date, then B2 contains a formula that says:
=IF(A1>TODAY(),A1,A2)
A1 contains a green tick and A2 contains a red cross.
What I am trying to add is that if B1 contains no date then B2 needs to be blank.
I tried using =IF((A1="",0),(A1>TODAY(),A1,A2) to get it to show a 0 if there was no data but this doesn't work.
I am using Excel 2003.
I have a formula
=AL260-WEEKDAY(AL260,2)+MATCH(AP260,{"Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"},0)
The formula looks at the chosen start date (AL260), and then uses a displayed text day (AP20) to display the relvent date to the text day, this works fine however if the start date is say 08/08/14 (a Friday) when the formula detects a Monday (this copies down a range looking at the start date and the text days to produce dates on each line, the formula displays the Monday dates prior to start date, is there any way to alter this to make it display the dates ahead of the chosen start date?
I was wondering if anyone knows how I could enter a date in one cell, then another date in a second cell and in a third cell have it have it so it minuses the first date from the second and calculates the difference outputted in number of days.
Example: 04/31/08 - 04/01/08 = 30 (days)
what formula could I use when I type in a date another cell rounds up to Jan 1st of the next year? ie 2/1/07 & in another cell it returns 1/1/08.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do is that I have electrical tools that get tested on a certain date in Column A. I need Column B to look at column A and determine and display in date format the next quarter when test is due.
Practical example: Extension cord got tested on 04/04/12. The next test needs to be conducted on 01/06/12. If the test is overdue and gets conducted on 02/06/12. The column A will change to 02/06/12 and column B should change to 01/09/12 as a result.
The formula I have got to work is
=DATE(YEAR(F2)+IF(MONTH(F2)>9,1,0),CHOOSE(MONTH(F2),4,4,4,7,7,7,10,10,10,1,1,1,),1)
but this makes the quarter dates as APRIL, JULY AND OCTOBER - they need to be MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER
when I change the formula to
=DATE(YEAR(F2)+IF(MONTH(F2)>9,1,0),CHOOSE(MONTH(F2),3,3,3,6,6,6,9,9,9,1,1,1,),1)
The dates work BUT if the following test is undertaken on 01/03/12 the date in Column B does not change to 01/06/12. Why? How do I get it to work?
I’m trying to resolve this issue and would appreciate some help.
Scenario
I have a tracking sheet that tracks development of work to be completed by individuals.
I have a due date column that shows when the work should be completed.
Once the work has been completed, the user enters his completion date.
I have a formula that provides an overdue warning (Completion date – today’s date) and some conditional formatting.
Problem
When I copy the formula through all the cells in the column I get a number (example 39504) and this changes everyday.
How can I eliminate this being shown as it throws out my average development day calculation?
I have a date in cell A1. I have an operator in cell A2. This info is then merged in to cell A3 with the following formula: =A2&TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy"). My data range is called "wc_date_of_loss". I want to use this info in a SUMPRODUCT formula (as the dates and operators can be changed by the end user). What's the correct syntax for that?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss&A3))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss=A3))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss=TEXT(A2&A1,"general,dd/mm/yyyy")))
how to make a certain type of date automate. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically, I'd like to make it so that when I enter a date in one column, another column will automatically populate with the 1st of the next month. For example:
If I enter 4/26/2009 in the 1st column, column 2 will read: 5/1/2009
If I enter 1/19/2008 .................................................. 2/1/2008
Also, it's very important that if the FIRST date is already the first of the month, then the second column will read the same. For instance: If I enter 3/1/2009 in the first colum, the second column will ALSO read 3/1/2009.
I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so
1st Group of columns range
Columns AJ through AX
Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"
2nd Group of columns range AY though CE
Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"
Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.
I am trying to create an array formula which confirms whether a specific date falls within a list of date ranges. I have a list of start dates in column A and end dates in column B. Each row represents a date range. How can I write an array formula to check if a date falls within any of these data sets (i.e. date ranges)? I have attached a sample spreadsheet to show
