Formula Conversion To A Less Processor Hungry Alternative Such As DCOUNTA

Jan 26, 2007

An OzGrid member kindly provided this formula from another post I made here:
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthre...837#post326837

= SUMPRODUCT((--(WEEKDAY(Database!$E$7:$E$3973,2)=(ROW()-3))*1)*(Database!$C$7:$C$3973= 'Pattern Analysis'!$A$4)*(Database!$F$7:$F$3973='Pattern Analysis'!C$3))

My problem is that the =SUMPRODUCT is slowing my sheet down considerably and I was wondering if any of you formula whizzes can convert it to a less processor hungry alternative such as DCOUNTA (if that's possible) or suggest a better method.

SUM Function (count How Many Packages Each Processor Does Per Month)

Mar 30, 2009

A4 is Date Assigned (MM/DD/YY) on the Activity sheet
S4 is the month assigned which I extracted from A1 (January, February, etc.)
J4 is the name of the processor

On a separate sheet I'm trying to count how many packages each processor does per month. On this sheet I've entered (as an array) =SUM(IF(Activity!$J$4:$J$390="ProcessorA",IF(Activity!$S$4:$S$390=$A$4,1,0))).
This doesn't work. However, if I delete the formula and formatting from S4 and manually type in the name of the month in each cell in S column it does work. So, how should I be formatting Column S and the the month column on the other worksheet so that the formula will work? I'm using Excel 2000 and have attached a mini sample.

How To Efficiently Build Criteria Page For Each Of DCOUNTA Cells

Jul 8, 2014

The report that I am trying to build relies on DCOUNTA formulas.

This report has 200 lines and 200 columns approximately. Each of these cells would be a DCOUNTA formula. I have a separate sheet, 'Criteria', where I intend to describe all of my criteria for the DCOUNTA formulas.

My problem is that for each DCOUNTA cell in my report, I have to create 2 rows and 5 columns worth of criteria information... so, for 40,000 cells to populate, I need to create a huge sheet of criteria.

So, while I could do the above, and it would take me some time, more efficient and elegant way to spend my time in order to get this report display DCOUNTA formulas?

For more context, I am trying to present information for 100 individual salespeople, monthly and year to date. For each cell, I need to tell DCOUNTA that the date needs to be comprised in the current period (2 columns), what the name of the salespeople is, and what the nature of the information is, which could be more than 2 additional columns.

I can to some degree autofill most of this, with some OFFSET magic, but its still feels like an ugly way to achieve my objective.

Any Alternative To INDEX And MATCH Formula

Mar 18, 2009

I have the followings in my spreadsheet.

a) Column A: 900 serial nos of Work Orders. Each is unique.

b) Column B: Parties responsible for each Work Order no. Certain parties will have more than 1 serial no in Column A.

Note: Column A & B are the main reference.

c) Column C, D & E: List of parties from three different locations performing works base on serial nos in Column A.

I would like a list of serial nos performed by parties in Column C, D & E base on Column A. I can't use the autofilter or sort function on each individual parties as this is very time consuming and moreover the info keeps changing ever 2-3 days. What I require is a simple summary list where I just need to paste the info from Column C, D & E into a special table and it would list down the serial nos from Column A. I had tried the INDEX & MATCH functions but it won't work as I have some parties performing more than 1 serial number. Would it be possible to create a table to perform the said task. These data entry and retrieval has taken minimum 4 hours of my time everyday and it takes longer when certain lists are revised.

Alternative To Index And Match Array Formula?

Sep 18, 2012

complex formulas in Excel but managed to work out and create the following formula;

{=IFERROR(INDEX('owssvr(1)'!$AE:$AE,MATCH($A9&AK$1,'owssvr(1)'!$C:$C&'owssvr(1)'!$E:$E,0)),"")}

Basically I want to return a call quality score if the name and week match my criteria.

The above formula works perfectly, however, it is very slow and the sheet takes ages to update.

Is there a quicker and more dynamic way to achieve the same result?

Alternative To CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER Array Formula

This formula works great and does everything I need it to do, BUT unfortunately I have since discovered that it is not compatible with several end applications that I am using with my spreadsheet.

Can somebody please suggest an alternative to the array formulae, as written in cells: O6, Q6, S6 & U6, while still giving me the same end result?

Hex To ASCII Conversion Formula In Excel

Apr 17, 2002

I know you can create a DEC2HEX formula. I wanted to convert Hex to Ascii.

When I use HEX2DEC, it puts the ASCII number instead of the actual character.

For instance, if I put the HEX number 4A in Cell A1, I want Cell A2 to display a capital J instead of the number 74 which is J in ASCII.

How To Make A Custom Conversion Program / Formula Between Custom Data

Feb 15, 2014

I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)

What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)

My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.

Alternative To OR

Dec 18, 2009

I use an Array Constant in an IF statement, rather than using OR?

I have tried the following without success:

=IF(A1={0,1},"Something","Something Else")
Which would look like this using OR:

=IF(OR(A1=0,A1=1),"Something","Something Else")
Is it possible? If so, what's the right syntax?

SUMIFS Alternative

Jun 17, 2009

I've been looking for an alternative to SUMIFS as I have a sheet I need backwardly compatible with Excel 2003.

I've now moved on to looking at an array formula I picked up from an internet search, but it's not working properly for me. The crux of my Excel 2007 formula is:

IF Limitation - On Alternative

Jul 23, 2009

I have a lot of data that I need to have organized out but as far as I can tell an IF statement is the only thing that could work. I work at a casino and there are about 6,000 games that I need to be able to sort through. The games are classified by sections A - Q. Each section contains anywhere from 30 - 50 banks, and each bank contains anywhere from 4 - 20 games. This is what I am trying to accomplish.

Have a drop down that lists zones A - Q. If the user chooses A, for the next column to populate with a drop down of all of the banks in A. Then for the user to choose the bank they want and then have the next colum populate a drop down with the games in A>bank1. So basically...

Zone>Bank>Machine

then once you choose the machine, for the columns to the right to auto populate the information on that game such as themes ect.

Zone>Bank>Machine>Information on that machine

I have another sheet that contains the inventory of all of the games that I am using as my "database". I am able to get this working great with IF statements, but I obviously need to be able to use more than 8. Here is my current code...

=IF(A164="A",ABankList,IF(A164="B",BBankList,IF(A164="C",CBankList,IF(A164="D",DBankList,IF(A164="E" ,EBankList,IF(A164="F",FBankList,IF(A164="G",GBankList,IF(A164="H",HBankList))))))))

An Alternative To Nested IF's

Sep 19, 2007

I was creating a formula in excel yesterday that used nested IF's but I soon found out that the maximum number you can use is 7. So I did a bit of digging and found out that I would be better of using a Select Case in VB.

What I want to do is this:

=IF((SEARCH("case1",A1)),"text1",IF((SEARCH("case2",A1)),"text2",IF((SEARCH("case3",A1)),"text",...etc until I have listed every possible case and I want to do this for a range of cells A1:A1000 or however many entries I have.

I am assuming I would have to use code similar to the solution in this thread:

[url]

The only thing is I cannot translate this to what I am doing. Do I need to write a loop to go through the entire range of cells I want to check? How do I determine if a specific string is contained within a cell? Once the macro is written do I refer to it from a cell or run it from within the macro menu? Please bear with me as I am new to this and have not coded in VB since school.

Alternative To Comments

For each cell, instead using a comment, I need another way to show a large amount of principaly letter texts, without using hypervincules, and ofcourse comments.

By the way, the same text I enter or modify put in this "way", I need to modify in the MSWord document and viceversa.

I appreciate the linking do not open another app, because the large amount of them I need to work with.
