Formula To Rank Text Objects Based On Numbers, Interesting Read
Dec 30, 2008
I'm attempting to create a formula that will find the name associated with a value, and return that name on the same column as that value in a later equation.
OK OK to illustrate it a little better:
There are three people: Bill, Ted, and Andy. Each one is ranked in Points, so my table looks like this:
A B
1 Bill 10
2 Ted 20
3 Andy 30
Later on, I want to rank the individuals based on their score, using a formula. Right now, I can rank the scores based using LARGE(B1:B3,1), then LARGE(B1:B3,2), and lastly LARGE(B1:B3,3). That ranks the numbers in descending columns. However, I want the information to automatically populate the name associated with that particular point total. So, I want the system to know that B1 is Bill's score, and rank it, in descending order, later on in the spreadsheet, with Bill's name.

I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.

I am building a football stat database which I am looking to put in an individual sheet which will search the other 20 sheets, collate the information and then display a top 5 ranking in each area. For example, this is our setup for the data:
Screenshot 2014-03-12 21.56.18.jpg
So what I want to to is have a separate sheet which will have a section for say over 1.5 goals %. The formula would go and retrieve all of the % results for each individual team. Then it would rank the 5 best teams and display the team name in the first cell and the % in the other cell.

I'm racking my brains as to how I can structure a formula to conditionally rank a value in an array against only those values in the array whose corresponding criteria cell includes a specific letter.
So for example I have a list of 12 values, say 126; 239; 0; 171; 162; 157; 130; 199; 122; 153; 0; 15.
Each of those values corresponds to a heading, say: CDE; DFE; FGE; DFE; ERD; DEA; BDF; DFB; CDE; CEF; CAB; FAB. As you will note some of the headings may or may not be the same and may or may not include the same letters in different orders.
How can I write a formula that ranks in ascending order a given value drawn from the above list (which will be in another cell but which in this case is, let's say, the first value: 126) only against those values whose heading includes a specific character, for example the character C (the character in question will vary and be defined in a specific cell).
As an added complication I need the ranking calculation to exclude any zero values. So in the above example what the formula needs to do is rank the value 126 against a sub-set of the whole array comprising only the values 126; 122; 153; 0.
The answer I need is 2 because, discounting the zero value, 126 is the second highest value.

So I'm creating a grid worksheet for engineering calculations and I have a couple questions about the best way to do it. I've been messing with excel for my calcs for about a decade now, and I every once in a while I try and improve them.
First: I will have several input areas that will either be colored text or shaded background (either works for me). I don't want these 'input required' objects to print as color, just black. But I want my logo at the sheet top to print as color. I've only found ways to not print any color. Can I print the logo as color and the 'input required' stuff as black?
Second: When I do calcs by hand, I write them out on 10x10 grid paper. Each 10x10 grid is one inch. In the past I've created this grid out of the cells, which works. I frequently need to change formulas around though, and each time I do this, I end up needing to mess with the grid cells also. Is there a way to create the grid and have it in the background so it doesn't need to be adjusted each time I change formulas? I wan't the grids to print, and also want to see them on the screen, as I sometimes draw simple objects along with the formulas.

The macro below will generate a System Error '-2147417848 (80010108)' when executed as shown below but only when there is a value in the 6th column that ends in .0006(or .00061). It will however run if no empty cells are present after the cell with .0006 in the 6th column (i.e. J = 1 to 6). This can be avoided by using the "On Error Resume Next". What is strange is if the value ends in anything other than .0006(or.0061) in the 6th column it will work fine (i.e. .00062 or .0005).
In a new workbook I have the following values in A1:B6

2422123847.627 221.0003 -482.8184125LOFT -1698521.0006

'On Error Resume Next
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Set OldWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set NewWb = Workbooks.Add

For I = 1 To 2
For J = 1 To 7
NewWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(I, J) = OldWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(I, J)

So I have
BI Raw:..... 500.....480.....570.....540.....480
TI Raw:........88.......80.......51.......22.....122
BI Rank:........3.........4.........1.........2........5
TI Rank:........2..........3........4.........5........1
The Raw rows are calculated then each given a rank. the highest is 1.
In case of a tie in the BI Raw then the lower TI Raw wins.
Also there can be up to 15 numbers in the row
So how would i assign the Rank either using a cell formula or VBA code?

I have a userform that has several textboxes and checkboxes. Some of the textboxes read and display dates from certain cells. I have the checkboxes conditionally formatted based on the data in the textboxes. However it doesn't seem to be reading the dates as a value. Here's an example of my issue to make it clear for you:
txtBox 1 = 01Sep2009
txtBox 2 = 01Oct2009
What I need is for the checkbox text colour to change from black to red if txtBox1 < txtBox2. Here's the code I have in place:

Attempting to do a spreadsheet for my golf club, to record scores, etc...
Managed to get it to pretty much what I want despite some very extreme looking formulae! So for some scores such as 56,56,57,57,54,54, Rank would just give me 3,3,5,5,1,1, so I have put a second column next to 56,56,57,57,54,54 where I input scores to seperate ties (better back nine scores), so in the above I would have for example 30,29 next to the two 56s, 27,29 next to the two 57s, and 27,28 next to the two 54s, so the rank would return 4,3,5,6,1,2. I have gone three stages further, so if, the back nine score was also tied, I have a column for the last 6 hole score, the last 3 hole score and even the last hole score. This is some serious formulae at this point. However, I now want the OPTION to rank the original data as 2,2,3,3,1,1 if I don't put any data in the back nine column.
This is so that I can input doubles scores on the same spreadsheet as singles scores, so if two people shoot the same score in singles I can input the back 9 scores etc to decide who comes out ahead, but in doubles I would just leave the back nine score blank, and then two people would share 1st in the rank, but then I need two 2nd ranks NOT 3rd ranks as it currently is.
Just so you can see how complex it is the current forumlae in the rank is here is an example:
=IF(O7="","",IF(K$2="MEDAL",RANK(O7,O$7:O$255,1)
+SUMPRODUCT(--(O7=O$7:O$255),--(P7>P$7:P$255))
+SUMPRODUCT(--(O7=O$7:O$255),--(P7=P$7:P$255),--(Q7>Q$7:Q$255))
[Code] .....
There are other things in there to sort out a few other issues as well, but I cant see the wood for the trees so to speak, to get it todo what I want!
I have also attached a sample from my spreadsheet to better demonstrate what I want!

it is possible to generate a completely random number generation in excel?
Other than using the rand() function and then sorting by top or bottom (as then have affected the sample by choosing which direction it is sorted).
And the randbetween() function changes everytime you modify a cell.

I require reading numbers which are multiple of 100s and 10s.
The following snippet of code below (part of larger code), does not pick up input values of 100s.
Code:
'=====================//VL==============================================='
If UCase(Left(Dn, 2)) = "VL" Then
If IsNumeric(Mid(Dn, 3, 1)) Then 'And IsNumeric(Mid(Dn, 4, 1)) Then
If Mid(Dn, 4, 1) = "0" Then
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 3)) + 10
Else
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 3)) + 0.1
End If
Else
Dn.Offset(, 1) = Val(Mid(Dn, 3, 2)) + 1
End If
'=============================================================='
I tired many ways manipulating the code to make it work, but can not get it to work.
Input:
VL10s
VL100s
VL11s
VL11
Desired Output:
VL10s --> 11
VL100s --> 110
VL11s --> 11.1
VL11 --> 11.1

I quickly put together an inventory form on our company server where employees can essentially just enter part numbers, quantities, and a few other things, rather than write everything out. So what might happen is, an employee puts together a list of 10 items with their respective quantities, but a few days later, another employee pulls up the spreadsheet and needs to add a few more of a part already listed. Protocol for the company is to do a separate line, rather than add it to the line where the item is already listed. What I am trying to do is, create a separate sheet within that workbook, that simply lists the part numbers, in order, with their total quantity. I have attached a basic spreadsheet showing what I would want, with a tab at the bottom labeled, "What I want."

I would like to know if it is possible with VBA in Excel 2007 to select objects based on size (or above a certain size).
I would like to select all the picture objects but not the small checkboxes on my worksheet.
I know that I can select the items one by one with home -> find/select -> select object but how I could make this "find/select" conditional.

What if you have text that are hyperlinked to a txt file and you want to read from it and copy it into excel. What can I do then. Here is what I have been working on so far:
Sub GoToHyperLink()
Dim cell As Range
Dim link As Hyperlink
Dim Textline As String
Range("C2:C13").Select
For Each cell In Selection
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False
I can not get it to write it to excel.

Another spreadsheet I use has a score within a text and i want to know how I can add up the scores easily.
In the example below I want to know If a Formula can return '9 out of 12'. I know this looks easy so why bother, but my sheet has far more rows/columns of data.
I thought of using Left and Right formula's to strip the numbers out.
Name
Score
A N Other
3 out of 4
A N Other
2 out of 4
A N Other
4 out of 4

3.5L 3.5 (in column O)

I have a workbook with two tabs: Results (containing exam results) and Percentile (containing percentile rankings based on scores). There are different rankings for different exams.
I need the percentile ranking returned (on the Results tab) based on the exam result for each student. e.g. for exam M111 a score of 36 would return a ranking of 95, a score of 18 would return a ranking of 35, etc. I've attached a sample workbook.

I will have 200+ records similar to the above. I would like a formula that ranks the totals. The Males in the 6-7 Age Group would be in 1 Ranking while the Females in the 6-7 Age Group would be in another.
I prefer a formula over a macro. My original thought was =rank(n2,offset(?,?,?,?,?),1) but alas I'm missing something.

columns 5, 30, 53, 78, 103, 137 all contain text. However I need to amend some of these to text but I still need the SUMPRODUCT to add up.
Is there a way to amend the above formula so its counts both text and numbers in 5,30,53,78,103,137 ?

Can numbers and text be included in the same cell and still have the number be included in the total in a formula in another cell? Or must a cell only have numeric values for it to be seen/included in a formula's total value.
I'm trying to create a database that totals materials for a construction project. I want to display the number of doors for a house in a row of cells and have the all the doors totaled in the last cell. This I have no trouble doing.
The problem arises when I want to add some text information about the style of each door in the same cell that the number of doors is shown. As soon as text information is added to a cell that has numeric information, that cells numeric information is not included in the final total in the last cell in the row.
I resorted to using comments instead, but, when the are made visible on the spreadsheet, they don't seem to lock to a relative position regarding the cell they're attached to. For instance, if I widen columns or make any significant spatial changes to the spreadsheet, the comments don't move with the changes.
There may be a way to lock comments to stay in a relative position regarding the cell they're attached to. And if that's the only way to make comments for the items in each cell stay with the cell, then I'll have to use that method. But I'd rather not have to use the comments function at all.
I'd much rather be able to have numbers and text be in the same cell, and still have the number value of that cell be included in a formula total at the end of a row of numeric information.
Example: (In this example separate cells that include both numeric values and text are indicated by parenthesis. The final cell that has the formula that totals the numeric information in the separate cells is indicated by brackets)
(30, raised panel doors, unpainted) (10, raised panel doors, white)
