Formula Not Calculating Except After Using Text To Columns

Nov 6, 2008

In the last column of this workbook, you'll see a cell that says "=D2". Whenever I type a formula into this worksheet, it doesn't calculate.

If I select that cell and do text to columns (making sure to remove any separations if it tries to split it), then the formula calculates.

Comparing Columns Of Text And Calculating A Value

Oct 20, 2009

I work in a School and need to create a points awards system based on GCSE Grades.

I have predicted and actual grades for each pupil in columns. I need to figure out how I can calculate an award point for this. i.e. if the predicted grade is an A and the Pupil gets a C this would be a minus 1 point score. I need to do this for all subjects and add a total.

I have attached a spreadsheet with a demonstration of what I require. I have created formulas to do what I require however I see it as terrible programming but I cannot figure out another more efficient way.

Formula For Calculating 360 Rowsx180 Columns Data Set

Jan 29, 2010

I have a set of data 361 rowsx 180 columns. I need to calculate a volume using these depth measurements and the one row of latitude. The formula i need to use is along the lines of =111120*cos(A1)*B1. Then for the next calculation A and B need to be the next cell down, so =111120*cos(A2)*B2. This continues all the way to the bottom and then the equation starts back at A1 for the cos() value and B changes to column C, so it will be =111120*cos(A2)*C2, then you go down the columns until you reach A180. this goes for 360 colums.

Formula For Text To Columns

Apr 4, 2014

I'm trying to create a formula for text to columns if a SKU is put into a box.

Ex) I put code 5495307H7G-**--A into cell A1. I need to split it after specific positions, so it breaks into nine individual codes (9 cells) in the adjacent boxes.

549 53 07 H 7 G- ** -- A

I've seen formulas for searching for spaces and splitting, but is there a way to split one long code at specific points?

Text To Columns Using Formula Not VBA

Jun 13, 2014

How to make a formula to convert a string of text like below. The first row is all contained in cell B2, the second in B3, and third in B4.

A*01:01:01:01/A*01:01:01:01/A*01:01:01:02N/A*01:01:01:02N/A*01:01:51/
A*01:17/A*01:01:01:01/A*01:01:01:01/A*01:01:01:01/A*01:01:01:01

A*29:01:01:01/A*29:01:01:02N/A*29:01:01:01/A*29:01:01:02N/A*29:01:05/
A*29:20/A*29:01:02/A*29:01:03/A*29:01:04/A*29:01:05

0/0/0/0/0/0/1/1/1/1

As you can see, I want to use text to column by "/" as a formula to basically have 10 cells autopopulate from C2-4 to M2-4.

I understand that people suggest using left, mid, and right, but to my knowledge it seems like this would only work on text to columns with 3 items. I have 10 items in each row that should be split by "/" .

IF Formula - Column To Show Text Value Dependent On Combination Of Three Columns

May 12, 2014

I have three columns that each have a drop down of text options; column A has three options, column B has three options and column C has two options. I want to have a fourth column that will show a text value dependent on the combination of the three columns.

It ends up being 18 variations so my IF formula just won't compute.

This is basically the format I have and works for a few values then just chucks up an error when I extend it to all 18 variations:

IF(AND(A1="text",B1="text2",C1="text3"),"show this text",
IF(AND(B1="other",B1="other2",C1="other3"),"then show this", ) etc etc

Any way I can get this to work for all 18 possible outcomes??

Pivot Table - Calculating Percentage Of Two Columns?

May 14, 2014

why it works (but it obviously does). I crabbed off the sheet, modified it with my data and the percentages calculate reliably.

What I can't figure out is that in the Pct calculation in the table is the formula:

=GETPIVOTDATA("S_FCR",PT_1,"Center",[Center],"Date",MONTH([Date]))/GETPIVOTDATA("C_ID",PT_1,"Center",[Center],"Date",MONTH([Date]))^2

The formula itself makes perfect sense in terms of the numbers and filtering involved....but why does it actually work and what does the "^2" do?

Calculating Dates From Text

Mar 31, 2009

I have two columns. The first column contains cells with multiple date values in text format (YYYY/MM/DD) in each cell. The other I was planning to be Calculated cells that I thought would compare the string of text (possibly converted to numbers) and determine which is the next in sequence after today's date. As there may be numbers in the past I cannot just use the first item.

The cell of text looks like this:2009-03-27 00:00:00
2009-04-10 00:00:00
2009-04-29 00:00:00
2009-05-13 00:00:00
2009-05-27 00:00:00

The calculated cell (based on today's date) should output:2009-04-10 00:00:00
Problem: I've been unable to figure out a calculation that will accomplish this. The idea I had was to examine the text in pieces and compare them numerically to "today" (as a number instead of a date).

I'm not very adept with Excel functions yet. I've started with this: "=(MID(A2,2,10))" but all it does is return the first item. I also tried using a Replace function to get rid of the dashes and also one that would return the dates as a decimal. But while I can get the numbers to change format, I don't know how to do the compare...

Calculating An Average But Excluding Boxes With Text

Sep 25, 2009

I'm trying to get excel to calculate the average time spent on appointments by officers in a small team. Each of them sees people each day, and as we're very busy I'm eager to get the time spent on each appointment down, by giving them a target of the number of people to see each day. At the moment we gather some stats on this, which show how many people are being seen by each officer.

The attached example sheet shows for one week a list of columns with officer's initials at the top, and says how many people were seen by each person each day during that week and then a how many people overall for the week.

I'd like to be able to generate statistics on the amount of time each officer has spent on average with customers, and base this on the fact that people have 360 minutes per day (they do 6 hours of appointments and another hour for admin) to see people.

I think the spreadsheet attached gives a good idea of the system and what I want to do.

Search Text List And Calculating Values

Dec 23, 2008

The idea is to have our technicians complete a timesheet showing how their time is being allocated between various tasks. I have created the spreadsheet and each row has a drop-down list with 6 options (Project Management, Audit, Office, etc) then a start and finish time which is calculated. I want to automate it so each each task option (Project Management, Audit, etc.) is calculated. There will be multiple entries for each task option over a weekly period. I tried VLOOKUP, but it does not work well with the text entries. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet to better illustrate what I am trying to explain.

Formula For Calculating Tax?

Feb 12, 2012

I've made a spreadsheet that allows the user too enter their clock in and out times in a day for a week, it allows you too fill in two weeks worth (because we get paid fortnightly). It automatically calculates each week's pay once it has been filled in, all I need is a formula too calculate how much they would be paid after tax. I can work how much they will be paid for the 2 weeks befor tax, but I just need a formula too deduct tax from this.

Calculating Hours In Rota That Includes Text Fields?

Jan 12, 2012

I'm creating a restaurant rota spreadsheet and I need to calculate the hours for each waiter, which is easy enough. But I've got to include stand-by shifts and cover shifts into the rota for the staff and I'd like the formula to ignore the "standby" text, etc in its calculations. I know you can use the =IF(... function, but that only works with one value. As well, the standby shifts will change from shift to shift and week to week, so I need one formula that might encompass all these needs... if there is one!!

An example of my rota for you to see:

MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY

Total hours for week START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH
10:00 17:00
10:00 17:00 12:00 16:00
Lunch Hrs/Wk 18:00 #VALUE! 19:00 24:00
standby standby 19:00 24:00 standby standby o2 Cover o2 Cover
Dinner Hrs/Wk #VALUE!

IF / OR Formula For Calculating Commission

May 6, 2014

I am trying to create a formula that calculates multiple commissions based on profit margin. So here is what I'm looking to. If the profit margin is between 50 and 70% than there is an additional 2% commission, if it's between 70.01-100% profit margin, than it's an additional 5% here is the equation I have=IF(OR(E2>50,E2<70),D2*2%,(IF(OR(E2>70.01,E2<100),D2*5%)))but it's still calculating at the 2% even thought it's an 86% margin.

Text File Import With Text To Columns Splitting Same Text Differently

Nov 21, 2007

I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.

I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.

FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))

IF Formula With Array - Calculating Overtime?

Dec 15, 2013

I have 3 basic job categories... each of those categories start overtime at a different hour.

So, if employee A is a dock worker, he starts overtime at 25 hours. If employee A is an office worker, he starts overtime at 40 hours and if he is a driver, he starts overtime at 55 hours. So based on that info, I'm wanting my spreadsheet to figure out how many hours each employee has left for the week.

The 2nd part question is how many hours per day is left for the week. Rather than making a separate tab for each day of the week, I'd rather the spreadsheet know what day of the week it is and divide accordingly.

Time Formula Not Calculating Correctly?
