View 14 RepliesI have a formula in a cell and when I use the formula bar it shows me the correct answer but it doesn't show me it in the worksheet. Only the formula shows up.
The same formula could be another place in my worksheet and work fine.
I have tried changing format. Copying formula from another location and changing the information to fit my needs it won't show me the result.
I know this is an easy one but I'm unsure why I can't easily modify a formula. The key event in this formula is "+190". Every time I change the value the formula no longer works. I've copied to another cell and the formula no longer works. My question is when you have a formula like this one if you have to modify how do you do it and keep the formula working.

If i put any other number in there other than "0" it shows a dollar amount of that value (even .00001 works). I have also noticed that before i put a zero in that cell, i can go to the format of that cell, select currency, and i see a sample in the sample box ($0.00). But if i go to that cell, put a "0" in it and return to the format of the cell, the sample box is now blank and it doesn't even show a $ sign. I know the "0" is in the cell because i can see it in the formula bar. But on the sheet itself it does not display it.

Scenario
I have a tracking sheet that tracks development of work to be completed by individuals.
I have a due date column that shows when the work should be completed.
Once the work has been completed, the user enters his completion date.
I have a formula that provides an overdue warning (Completion date – today’s date) and some conditional formatting.
Problem
When I copy the formula through all the cells in the column I get a number (example 39504) and this changes everyday.
How can I eliminate this being shown as it throws out my average development day calculation?
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.
The formula that I came up with perfectly works well with clear values. Everytime there's a #NUM!, #VALUE! in my array, the result I want wont show up.
=(SUMPRODUCT(--($B$17:$B$22=C4),--($C$17:$C$22=$D$3),--($G$17:$G$22)))/D4
When I tried average+if and it still gave me the same error!
=AVERAGE(IF($B$17:$B$22=$C$4,IF($C$17:$C$22=$D$3,$G$17:$G$28)))
I'm trying to calculate the IRR, but it keeps giving me a #DIV/0 result. My formula is IRR(R6:R21,0.2), with 20% being my guess for the IRR.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn the top, you'll see that even though there is an equation in cell "K" and merged cells "O and P" that the cell is reflecting a blank box (how I want it to look). Within the same workbook, a different worksheet that has the same exact cell settings is showing "$0.00" in those cells. I can't figure out how to get it to be blank! Yes, I tried the copy/paste from the cell that I like to the other worksheet but it doesn't work. Again - all of the cell settings are the same.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently having an issue with the formula below showing a zero when there is no data, now i am referencing from this cell to another sheet but even with the IF(ISBLANK inside the formula on the other page it still shows a zero which is messing up what i am trying to do on another page.
This is what i am using
=(MAX(P5:P47,P60:P102,P115:P157,P170:P212,P225:P267,P280:P322,P335:P377,P391:P433,P447:P489,
P503:P545,P559:P601,P615:P657,P671:P713,P727:P769,P783:P825,P839:P881,P895:P936)
This is the cell number that has this formula which it is telling me the max number for the column - P938
I am referencing to another sheet like this =IF(ISBLANK('sheet 2'!P938),"",'sheet 2'!P938)
How i get this to stop showing a 0 if there are no data for it to search for the max?
I am trying to link a form to a spreadsheet that will be used as an import into Access. When I tried to create the form however, all my links are showing as Text and not the information that is in the linked cells. How do I get rid of this?
I am trying to set up some combofields on the form to make entry easier.
Here is what I am working with.
when I apply an = 'Worksheet1'!A1. formula to a cell, the respective cell will contain a zero. Is there any way that the cell can be shown as completely blank and still hold this formula?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a formula in a cell and it worked fine but then I created the same formula in the cell just below it and I changed some of the numbers and when I hit the enter button the formula showed up in the cell and not the final result which would be the answer to the formula. Does anyone know why it would do this? I have an example below....

I was given this Formula to use in a cell to calculate the total hours from 2 different cells, from inputting date and time from and to dates..as an example from 4/1/14 0:00 thru 4/1/14 12:00.....The problem I am encountering is that when the spreadsheet is 1st opened "+1" is visible in the cell where this formula is. I am asking how the formula can be altered to have the "+1" not visible in the cell before any date and time is entered.

I need a formula that displays the word "Day" or "Days" depending on cell entry i know the formlula =IF((B12)>0,"Day","") to show the word day but i want it to show "day" if a 1 is entered or "days" if any number over 1 is entered.

I have 2 cells A & B and if i divide A by B and the result is 0 (ie there being 0 in both A & B) I get a #DIV/O! result when I need it to show a 0
I have a value in Cell A1. Now, I need to be able to enter a number into Cell A3 and upon hitting Enter (or clicking elsewhere), the number I just entered into Cell A3 needs to be replaced with the number I just entered multiplied by the number in Cell A1. For Example: Cell A1 contains the number 1.05. I type 2.50 into Cell A3 and upon hitting Enter Cell A3 reads 2.625.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.
When I enter a formula into a cell, for instance; (d27*d28/144)*d23, and then enter a number into cell d23, the formula gets replaced by the value of the result automatically.
I've searched the help files and found no setting that does this. It reminds me of an old question I've had lingering since I've used excel and that is why sometimes when you enter a math calculation, for intance; =25/5, the number 5 is entered into the cell instead of the formula.
After I posted the above, the problem magically went away until.....
This is boggling my mind. The problem is back.
The wierd thing is I copy a known good formula to one of these cells, for a split second you can see the formula in the formula window and then it gets changed automatically to the result of the formula. Formula is gone!
Then I tried this:
I set security to high (I had it on Low) and of course my macros would not run, but this did not clear up the problem. However when I set security back to low, it now seems to be working good. I am scepticle (sp.?) though because the problem is very random.
Could I have a virus?
I have the formula in O62 cell :

How can I write this visible result to "O62" cell or, " another cell example"P62" as a text value.(without to copy & paste).
I want to make this with a formula ( if impossible by macro).
I need to use the result of a simple calculation in one cell on Sheet1 (=A1+2) as the row in a cell reference on a different sheet. eg =Sheet2!A"n" where "n" is the result of formula.

K18 contains the number 54.00, and on Sheet117 cell K18 contains the number 404.00.
Cell A1 displays the formula rather than the result, which should be 458.00.
Other similar formulas I have in this workbook return a result of 0 when I know there should be a significantly higher number. Then, the same formula used to refer to different cells will return what appears to be a proper result.
I have created a visual schedule for my team using Excel (2003, SP3 if that matters). Essentially, the user puts in pre determined 1-3 character codes in individual cells, and the macros I have act like a complex Conditional Formatting to keep the formatting neat and consistent throughout the sheet. The actual values are inputted directly into the cells though (this is pertinent to my question), and are things like "A" "M" "$" and "TR"
I have a sheet for every day in a week. Since there are multiple team members on any given day, I have recently made another sheet which pulls a single Team Member's schedule Sunday through Saturday and displays their schedule for the entire week. I have used formulas (specifically VLOOKUP) to do this.
The problem that I am having though, is that the macros that I made to format the days of the week sheets, do not seem to recognize the result of the formulas in the individual Team Member's sheet, and thus do not format them as desired.
My macros are written to evaluate a cell's value via [ Range("example").value ] and will act upon it accordingly with more code. I am assuming that a [ Range("example").value ] would see a cells value as the text of the inputted formula, and not the result of that formula. Is there any way around this? or do I need to avoid the formulas all together and write in code to just copy over what I need?
(I hope this makes sense)
Sub startup
Dim numwords As Integer
numwords = WorksheetFunction. CountA("H5:H64")
Range("H1").Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = numwords
I have a quick question regarding this simple code thats been drviing me nuts. There x distinct pieces of Data in the range speciifed, but when i run this code, the reply posted in cell H1 is 1, instead of x.
Eventually the code will be built to check if the result is odd or even and then add an entry into the first blank cell if the result is odd.
How is this possible,
in cell A3, (''if'' cell A1 has text "transfers'')
then cell A2=7
Why is it that when I edit some cell's formulas and press enter the result is not the changed formula but the formula itself complete with the '=' sign infront of the fuormula. The work around for me is to cut the formula and paste it into a new cell then drag the old cell over the previous one I tried to edit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")
This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'.
e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?
