Formula For Assigning Names Based On Term Digits
Dec 13, 2013
I could really use some excel function. Within my office, we work with several hundred files. Each employee is assigned files based on the last two digits of the file number. What I need is a way to identify what file is assigned to which employee based on the term digits of the file.
So for example, I have the following list of files:
1002856101
22781721
1044863815
1008799064
1044779765
1006511115
1007641804
0729939256
5303486020
8364709
0014094759
0019921519
8172717
I'm able to do a formula to get the term digits (meaning the last two numbers), but i'd like to have another column that can put names based on the term digit column. For example, Tom might work 00-04, Sally works 05-09, Greg works 10-15, Lucy works 16-21.. etc
I came across the below IF formula that is exactly what i need, except it only works for two associates and not the multiple that i need.. but it looks to be a good starting point nonetheless.
------------------------------
=IF(C2<50,"Sheryl","Lisa"). You should enclose Sheryl and Lisa with quotation marks as these are string values.
You can also use (if A2 is where the Loan # is):
=IF(Right(A2,2)*1<50,"Sheryl","Lisa")
The formula will acquire the last 2 digits of the loan and check it if it's for Sheryl's or Lisa's.

I searched and found that to assign a name to a label based on a cell value requires the following
Label1.Caption = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
which would assign the value in cell A1 as the caption for Label1. I've got a range of values in cells:
C4:N4
and I'd like to assign them as names to labels 1 through 12. How would I do that using VBA?

I have a column with names (repeated names by month). There are about 3700 of them spread over 12 month. so it's about 300 names per month.
Is it possible to assign an ID (a number) to specific names?
So let's say - John Smith will have ID 1 (for example), and will always get this ID?

How to assign a "WS(i)" worksheet name and have the assigned variable (i) in the name equal the consecutive steps in a total page count.
Here's the code that does not work:
Code:
Dim WB as Workbook
Dim WS as Worksheet
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 To WB.Sheets.Count
Set WS(i) = WB.Sheets(i)
Next
I can see why it does not work. I can't figure out what to declare in my Dim or how to word the statement using the (i) variable in order to capture the value to attach to "WS."
Details: The issue is that the number of pages created will vary day to day depending on staff needs. There's an array of staff names to be assigned to page tabs and there will be skips and deletions along the way depending on daily attendance so "WS(i)" worksheet names can't be assigned at creation. What happens if they are is that the succession of worksheet names winds up being (e.g.) "WS1, WS2, WS5, WS12," etc. instead of consecutive.
There's a very complex data-sort-and-assign system that depends upon how many staff-assigned sheets there are, and as such each sheet has to have a "WS" worksheet name for the process to stay smooth. If the names are not consecutive, though, the sort-and-assign process becomes confused. This step takes place at the end of the initial workbook set up process, immediately before the data are addressed, so there really isn't an earlier opportunity. It can't be later since from this point on the system depends upon the "WS(i)" names being there.
It started fine when there were 5 people. Now there are 37.

I am working on a customer report template that generates our customers reports and will send them out automatically.
This issue I have now is that the system that generates the raw data for these reports only lists the Customers name in a column with an entry for each line of data, the thing is though that the system has lots of variations of the customers name, even more so if that customers has different departments.
What I need to do is from this list of customer names, I need to automatically figure out what the "common" name is or main name so to speak, and then make a variable using the correct full name, which will be used later on in the code to import correct logos, and direct the reports to the correct people.
Here is a quick example of what data we get raw from the system:
Customer Name:
John Build
Johns Buildings
Johns Ltd Building
Johns Plumbing Department
Glass Doors Ltd A Department of Johns Buildings
Johns Building Corporation
Hole In One Golf Range
This is just an example, we have thousands of clients, so the length, number of words etc can change alot. Ideally I from a list similar to that I would get a full proper result of "Johns Buildings Ltd" for example, this would then be in a variable to be used in code from then on to reference doing certain things with the reports of Johns Buildings Ltd.
You'll notice there is one name "Hole In One Golf Range" that seems to have no relation at all, this is correct, ideally I would also like to build in some error checking into the code, so that rows like that that have nothing to do with the others would get deleted.
So how would you amazing VBA gurus go about working with data like this? I'd prefer a more general answer with explainations that just straight code, as I'm sure I will have to adapt the hell out of it for it to be useful in context.

What I'm trying to so is track weekly labor costs- my crew makes a rate for 6 days then an additional amount for a 7th day. I have attached an image of what I'm trying to do. Basically I want to add up the crew members "a" rate plus the "b" rate (if applicable) over multiple weeks in the total column.

I think I'm using the correct terminology with the term "variable", but to explain what I'm trying to do, I want to get RAND() to hold the first returned variable so I can compare it to other places RAND() has been used & if the returned value is the same as the other place, then run RAND() again.
Here is my basic formula (where $B$2 is 50):
=IF(ROUND(RAND()*$B$2, 0)+1=A4, ROUND(RAND()*$B$2, 0)+1, ROUND(RAND()*$B$2, 0)+1)
I'm trying to say in the formula above that if rand = what was already in A4 then run random again -- but this doesn't keep if from returning the same value as A4 on the second pass.
What would work is something like (where X is the assigned variable):
=IF(X=ROUND(RAND()*$B$2, 0)+1=A4, ROUND(RAND()*$B$2, 0)+1, X)
But it doesn't appear you can use X in a formula (only in a macro which I don't want to use) --

G:G contains a list of integars, though some cells are blank; lets say 75 of the 100 cells in data range are < 0. I want a macro which copies a range where the number of rows = the number of values in G:G. my Macro:
Sub myMacro()
Dim rowRange As Integer
rowRange = Count("G:G")
End Sub
This, as you guessed, comes back with an error. Sub or Function not defined. Anyone the proper syntax for assigning a formula to a variable?

Cell A1: can contain any number between 1 and 4 (with two decimal places, i.e. 2.36 or 3.99)
Cell A2: based on what number is in A1, this field should return corresponding percentage (%), based on the following criteria:
1: is 100%
2.99: 1%
3 (including) and less (all the way to 4): 0%
Note: percentages between values 1 and 2.99 are equally spread
So let's say, when:
A1 is 1.00, then A2 should return 100%
A1 is 3.26, then A2 should return 0%
A1: is 1.25, then A2 should return 92% (or whatever percentage is correct based on above described criteria)

*I have my document ordered hierarchically with group functions.
*Aesthetically I would like to have the font size get smaller the more levels into grouping they are.
*For aesthetic reasons I have merged cells rendering auto-fit useless as it auto-adjust to the first column's font size even if it has no characters in it
I find myself contemplating manually adjusting all 500 some rows of data.. probably by selecting ranges with ctrl or shift clicking my way through the document, grabbing ranges based on how high their grouping is, and adjusting the whole selected group at once, so they all have a uniform height setting.
Can I do some kind of conditional formating based on group level? like all group level 7 rows have a row height of X.

I have some excel sheets that are formatted like the following:
COMPANY | TOTAL | R | G | B
company1 | 10 | 255 | 000 | 000
company2 | 20 | 000 | 255 | 000
company3 | 30 | 000 | 000 | 255
...
and so on...
My question is that I would like to have a macro that runs on this basic file and creates a bar graph with the data. Then it utilizes the RGB values in the columns to change the specific bar for that row. So setting the r, g, b as variables corresponding to the columns in the sheet. Also there isn't a preset number of rows in the files.

I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)

I have 4 and 5 digit numbers. For the 4 digit numbers, I want to be able to distinguish between the numbers by the last digit. For the 5 digit numbers, I want to be able to distinguish between the numbers by the last two digits.
Example: For 4 digit numbers, I would like to do something with all numbers ending in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. For 5 digit numbers, I would like to do something with numbers ending in 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, etc.
The first step in being able to do this, I guess is distiguishing between 4 and 5 digit numbers, which I know can be done by the number lenght. However, the second part of looking at the last digit or the two last digits I don't know how to do.

I am trying to write a bit of code to go into a macro and as I am very much a leaner, I thought I would create the formula I need and record it, then copy in the relevant bit. However, I cannot even get the formula to work - never mind the macro bit!! The formula I am trying to do is something like this...
In column S:S
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 1 to 3, concatenate Q2 (and eventually Q2 to Q lastrow) + "/" + "Q1"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 4 to 6, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q2"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 7 to 9, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q3"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 10 to 12, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q4"
Column R:R has the year and the first digit of Q:Q hold the month so I want to end up with 2007/Q1 etc.

I have a formula that looks like this:
=IF(ISERROR((C101/G119)*G104)," ",((C101/G119)*G104))
There are about 15 cells with formulas similar to this. They are calculating a value for a row and at the end all of them should add up should equal C101.
The problem is the value that formula returns has to be two digits and I know it almost never is. But it ALWAYS equils C101. However because it only shows two digits somtimes if you manulally add up the value that you see it does not its off by +/-.01.
I need to fix it so that it does equal C101 AND if you were to add up the digits (with 2 decimal places) it will also equil C101.

I have this formula :
=SUM(LARGE((1-ISNUMBER(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},AQ10)))*{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},{1,2,3,4,5})*10^{1,2,3,4,5})/10^ISNUMBER(FIND(0,AQ10))
But sometime the number 1 is missing ? see example :
3890 the formula return : 24567 so I'm missing the digit 1 ?
same for this one :
2340 the formula return : 56789 so I'm missing the digit 1 again ?
and for this one it's good :
2389 the formula return : 145670

When we give formulas say for eg
cell A5/Cel d4*30/365
we format for two digits so i get in my spread sheet cell as
60423.28
but it is actually
60423.28302
so over a period of time my figures posted in accounts dont match to excel spreadsheet.
How can i get the excel spreadsheet to not only show two digits but calculate to two digits as well So say if my calculation result is
60423.276 it should not only show 60423.28 but also be that way and not 60423.276

I would like to filter it so that all part numbers where the 4th character is the number 5 or 7 is listed and where the 5th character is a zero. (i.e. R4X5831310 is a part number where 5 is the 4th character; I would like the filter to show this part number)

I need to enter a revision string into a file.
Basically, I need to combine the filename and its generation time and then encode it into a string (i.e. a 6 digits HEX code or 6 digits using [0-9][a-z][A-Z]) so it would generate a pretty much unique revision number.
So, is there any function that you can think of that would do something similar?
If not, what is the best to tackle this?
Generate a CRC or md5sum?
What would be in your opinion a quick and efficient way to solve this tricky one?
