Formula To Handle 5 Fields Of Data To Avoid Creating Extra Columns?
Nov 27, 2009
I am inputting 5 variables in columns A through E:
Family (Y/N)
Adult (1/0)
Child (1/0)
Date of Birth
Gender
I am attempting to generate:
Age Males in families sorted into age brackets
Age Females in families sorted into age brackets
Age Males single sorted into age brackets
Age Females single sorted into age brackets
I did this rather simplistically generating 4 columns (F through I) and then using COUNTIF (although I know there is a better way than the lame way I used COUNTIF but that is not the point right now).
However, my question is, can I generate the data described above (located in D13:I22 on my spreadsheet) without going through the messy, cumbersome step of creating extra columns?
I'm trying to create a pivot table, but there is a problem. Although my data only has 2 years (1996 and 1997), it creates a new year it calls "blank," and a lot of the data that is supposed to be under 1996 and 1997 appears under this "blank" year. How do I fix this? See the attachments for the data and pivot table.
i need to create a formula to calculate rankings for a race series. there are 10 events in the series, only the best 7 individual results count. and there are 4 events which are mandatory and must be included in the rankings. sample attached.
Would need your expertise to advice on how to create a formula to handle the following data in order to produce the desired output below.
I have some data in Sheet 1 and the corresponding data in Sheet2. The output is in Output Sheet.
If the data in Sheet1, "Student1" match the data in Sheet2, "Student1", then it will copy all the entries for Student1 in other worksheet with the header "Student1" (Output Sheet).
The same thing goes to other Student in the list. For this sample, I only provide a short list of data in Sheet2, it can be long, more than 5 students.
Basically I've jumped straight in and have tried to recreate a report I need to produce which requires a pivot table. I have managed to create the code I need to produce a pivot table in a new sheet with all of the headers available for analysis. Where I'm struggling is in getting the pivot to show the datafields correctly.
The list that I am creating the pivot from has about 30 headers. 20 or so are analysis fields with the remainder being various figures; monthly plan, monthly actual, monthly variance etc..
The pivot table I need to create needs all analysis fields available to the end user for manipulation, which I have managed to do. I have created rows for sales areas, also with no problem. It also needs the above plan, actual and variance fields in columns and as datafields. This is where I'm having trouble. When I create the pivot manually it ends up with 1 row and 3 separate columns with summed data in each. I have checked the VBA code, copied it and used it again. The pivot table comes out with 1 row but with the data fields stacked one on top of each other. Any minor alterations that I can think of, (for example adding a position = 1, position = 2 etc.), either creates a chaotic looking sheet or an error.
I've checked various posts on pivot tables but am having trouble understanding the way in which I can correct this. Is there a straightforward command that I'm missing? Do I need to start declaring variables for pivot items?
I have headings across the sheet "Inventory" in cells E5:AA5 with further headings down the sheet D6:D40.Data Validation drop down list is in cells E6:AA40.I want to be able to place a number 1 or number 2 in any cell in the range C6:C40 in the "inventory" sheet and with a macro create 2 new sheets.Sheet 1 will contain all the headings which had a 1 in any of the cells in the range C6:C40 and sheet 2 will have all the headings which had the number 2 from the range C6:40.Both sheets 1 & 2 will contain all the headings from "Inventory" sheet in cells E5:AA5.The data validation drop down list is not required in sheets 1 and 2 but if "inventory" sheet does get updated that it also updates sheet 1 and sheet 2.... Version i am using is Excel 2010
I have a spreadsheet with a heap of raw data in it. I need to perform a search based on a customer name, then return certain columns from the raw data IF the customer name is matched in one column, AND a special flag name is matched in a second column. The customer name is always a single entry for the purpose of the query, however the special flag must be checked against a possible list of values in a table. I know this is hard to explain, and I can't add attachments to my posts, so I have created a sample document and placed in in dropbox:
I have an excel spreadsheet with Extra columns that have no data in them. I want to delete this columns so that there is no horizontal scroll, but highlighting and right-clicking and choosing delete isn't working. Not sure why. How can I delete?
I am trying to save some time converting a cut up inventory catalog number. Specifically focusing on the color code. I have the list of colors associated with their specific part number. The order cannot change or my sheet will mismatch.
What I want to do is convert the # in column A to the color code text in column b so that it matches the translated code in column C? For example
1 I want to tell 1 to = Polished Chrome anytime #1 appears in my column.
What formula should I choose to achieve that goal. As well, how do I know what data to imput into the formula wizard?
Sheet is attached.
I have Cut a few thousand items off the bottom of the sheet. I can apply to additional data left off.
My production spreadsheet has thousands of unwanted columns and I am unsure as to how they appeared. I want to delete them. I have tried selecting all of them and deleting them, but nothing happens. I have tried go to > blanks, but it freezes because there are so many columns.
Also, I tried to copy paste to a new sheet, but the formulas get messed up.
For a mental picture, the spreadsheet is approx 225 rows by 25 columns.
Below code isnt working for "5 Metre", columns dont hide from row 24 down.
My A10 is a drop down where i select 5 or 6 or 7 metre. If i select 5 it only hides rows 22 and 23.
I think the 2nd and 3rd lines marked red are stopping the rows from hiding!
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$A$10" Then Rows("22:40").Hidden = (Target.Value = "5 Metre") Rows("24:40").Hidden = (Target.Value = "6 Metre") Rows("26:40").Hidden = (Target.Value = "7 Metre") End If End Sub
My problem: I have downloaded national economic data from IMF with several countries for several years. I need several variables and must extract them individually so I a need a clever solution to my problem.
I currently have data that is sorted like below. The "-" indicates a numerical gdp value for the given country for the given year.;
(FYI I could not get the "-" to align beneath 2001-2004 and year respectively.)
Country 2001 2002 2003 2004 x - - - - y - - - - z - - - -
The identifier here is country, and the data is as such structured as cross sectional data, with each yearly account of gdp being a variable. Now, I need this data as panel data, organized as below:
Country year gdp x 2001 - x 2002 - x 2003 - x 2004 -
I sort of say, need to "flip it". As I have 180 countries and 11 years, and need to do this with 2-3 variables, I need either a formula or a VBA to run.
I'm trying to create a bubble chart created on three different columns of data. I'd like the following:
-The X-axis should just show the first columns of dates I have stored. -The Y-axis should be the number of lots of a product that I bought of a certain product. -I'd like the actual bubbles to not only represent the number of lots purchased on the given date, but I'd like the size to be represented by the third column, which is the average price of each lot.
Is there a way to do this? I've been trying to maneuver it around all morning, and can't seem to get it how I want it. I'm not sure if I'm ordering the columns incorrectly or what.
I am trying to convert cells (all in column D) which are separated by "~" into columns. Unfortunately, running the text to columns command on several rows at a time can cause Excel to panic with an out of memory error (error #7 etc.).
The file is ~100mb and contains 500k-700k rows (I have 4GB of RAM so I know this is more a limit of Excel's 2GB RAM constraint).
Can you please help me write a macro to text to column convert each cell in column D?
I tried a macro which started with a for loop, and called the function for each cell individually, but even this led to an out of memory exception after 156,000 rows (although the same macro worked fine on a similar sheet with 700,000 rows).
Are there any other ways of clearing the Excel buffer/temporary space during the function calls to avoid causing Excel to crash?
I would like to create a function where I would be able to ask and answer 20 questions. When using If statement it only allows me to use up to 7 nests.
I have created an example below with all the statements I need using IF but of course this doesn't work so I would need so how to handle this particular issue with so many questions/answers in one. Even though the delta between 5-4 and 3-2 is same I want different answers. I'm using Excel 2010.
I have a list of grades they are 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c, etc up to 7a. An a is one grade than a b, and a b is one grade higher than a c. In one test a student may score a 4b and in another a 4a. I need a way to calculate the difference in "grades" e.g if a student scores a 4a in test 1 and a 5c in test 2 the difference is 1.
Is there a way I can do this using custom formatting or will I have to assign values to the grades and insert extra columns to do the calculations. I need the simpliest way as I have to disseminate to my staff in my department.
"A" is a duplicated rep field and "B" is unique rep IDs and "C" is a sum of product types purchased. I'm averaging the number of product types sold by each rep.
I need to modify it to remove the #DIV/0! error it generates. It calculates just fine by row (with the error on some rows), but when I use that calculated field as an element in another formula, the #DIV/0! blows up the second formula. I tried a second IF function tied to the sales field "D" but I don't think I nested it right.
in the first row i want to use the fill handle at 135 and drag rightwards so as to copy/retain the pattern (decrementing by 5, from multiplier 150 until 100)
how would I achieve that?
p.s I also want the formula for columns to work with the fill handle drag downwards.
We use excel for scheduling purposes and each and every day we fill out a floor chart with who is working that day. As it stands now we have to print out a template and hand write all names or type them in and print it out. What I would like to try and do is define each set of names and allow for easy access to auto fill these names. I feel it needs to be a simple process as not all of our managers experienced in excel or formulas. What I would like to try an accomplish is in sheet 1 cell A1 to be able to create a drop list or formula that that would let me return all the names for a given day.
For the purposes of this discussion we can just define each list as the day that is the header ( IE A2:A4 on sheet 2 would be defined as "monday". Also, I already have the names autofilled based off of what the our schedule has. I'm curious if I could create a drop down list with each day of the week as an option, and if they select Tuesday it will then return all the names defined as Tuesday in a column below.And the next day be able to return Wednesday names and so on.
I'm not stuck on it being a drop down list. Maybe if they could just type and =(defined name) in the box above and it would return all the names.
I have tried an =(defined name) and it does return the value but only for the first cell and it has to be in the same row for it to return the name. Which doesn't work because I would like the names that are being defined on a separate sheet.
And i would be extending it to the rows below. Now, obviously, if C2 contains a 0, it gives a divide by 0 error. How to modify the formula which makes it valid only if C2!=0(not equal to 0)

I am trying to create a formula by comparing data in columns on a separate tab.
Basically, I want to take the value of one cell in the primary tab, find the matching value in a column on another tab, then once it is matched, pull in the data from another cell in the second tab on the same row of the matched data.
One of the formulas list whether or not an item is available or not. But when I try create a similar formula to indicate whether the item should be displayed or not I only end up with it being always displayed.
Code: Option Explicit
Sub Reformat() Dim wks As Worksheet Dim iRow As Long
Is there a way to prevent formulae from losing their references when the references get replaced.
I have formula which refer to a worksheet that is dynamic, meaning that the worksheet holding the data (CONTROL_1) differs from one query to the next is imported from another source. The datasource contents and format are identical.
When I update the original spredsheet, certain things are calculated and I will have all the results in another sheet. I then copy the sheet and save it as a new file because I need it for later. But, when I update with new info in the original file, even the saved file is changed. Probably because there are so many references in the file to the original sheet. How can I avoid this? I mean, how can I save a file for real without it being updated all the time?
