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.
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$4,1,0))). This doesn't work. However, if I delete the formula and formatting from S4 and manually type in the name of the month in each cell in S column it does work. So, how should I be formatting Column S and the the month column on the other worksheet so that the formula will work? I'm using Excel 2000 and have attached a mini sample.
The report that I am trying to build relies on DCOUNTA formulas.
This report has 200 lines and 200 columns approximately. Each of these cells would be a DCOUNTA formula. I have a separate sheet, 'Criteria', where I intend to describe all of my criteria for the DCOUNTA formulas.
My problem is that for each DCOUNTA cell in my report, I have to create 2 rows and 5 columns worth of criteria information... so, for 40,000 cells to populate, I need to create a huge sheet of criteria.
So, while I could do the above, and it would take me some time, more efficient and elegant way to spend my time in order to get this report display DCOUNTA formulas?
For more context, I am trying to present information for 100 individual salespeople, monthly and year to date. For each cell, I need to tell DCOUNTA that the date needs to be comprised in the current period (2 columns), what the name of the salespeople is, and what the nature of the information is, which could be more than 2 additional columns.
I can to some degree autofill most of this, with some OFFSET magic, but its still feels like an ugly way to achieve my objective.
The below formula is giving the desired result and everything seems fine. Need if there is an alternative formula which can give same result in more refined and simplified manner. =K28+SUMIF($E$3:$E$24,$E$7,$D$3:$D$24)/(K23)-SUMIF($B$3:$B$24,$B$8,$D$3:$D$24)/(K23). The formula is based on the following data:
K28 = Last month balance Column E = Type of expenditure Column D = Values Column B = Payments K23 = Currency conversion rate
I am having to use = sign (=A10 --) transfer the information to solution, is there a formula that I use instead. I have try $A10,A$10 to ancher the column?. ideal I need formula that read alternative columns for date, unit and sales- that I can copy down?
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.
Column A is in hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds Column B is in hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds Column C is in seconds.milliseconds Column D is in hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds
I would like to represent all these columsn in this format: hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds
Is there a simple formula I can use? I was looking at the CONVERT function, but it doesn't appear to work for milliseconds.
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?
I would like to round the weight as per the matrix below. I have tried to put formulae in Column B but it is not yielding the desired result. Formulae in Column C which can convert the data to the desired result?
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.
I've been looking for an alternative to SUMIFS as I have a sheet I need backwardly compatible with Excel 2003. I've looked at SUMPRODUCT which I understand is a good alternative to COUNTIFS but does not allow for summing. 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:
I'm using sumif to get the total number of OT minutes/hours rendered by an employee. In a company with 1K employees, doing so proves to be tedious as I need to rename the criteria for each formula. Is there an easier way to do this? See attachment for more details. I'm using Excel 2003.
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...
I am trying to make an IF statement and need to enter 12 if's. Excel will only let me go to 7. Example, if Jan is in AE11 the copy the number from B96, if Feb is in AE11 then copy number from c96. Everything works up to July.
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:

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.
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.
Dim myRow As Long Dim myCol As String Dim Search As String
Sheets("Master Holdings").Range("H2")
Application.Screenupdating=false mycol="E" For myRow=6000 To 1 Step -1 If Activesheet.Cells(myrow, mycol).Value Search Then Rows(myRow).Delete End If Next myRow Application.ScreenUpdating=True
I have a sumproduct that evaluates # of conditions and returns the count when everything is met. But with the amount of data I have it is very slow to recalculate. I'm trying to find an alternative. I've read through a bunch of threads about different ways to avoid sumproduct but I can't get them to work. Here is the criteria I'm working with (simplified) .....
I recieved on my last thread (link below), the code provided worked fine.
Previous thread I submitted
I now have a problem with the .value attribute. When comparing Excel finds two cells unequal in '.value' then writes '.values' in changes sheet. When using =A1=B1 the result is TRUE. I don't want equal valued cells to be picked up how can I stop this? (Macro code included in previous thread if needed)
