Gaps In A List
May 13, 2006
I'm having a problem with a list that I've created. The list is in cell A1, the base data for the list is in the range B1:B50. The problem is that data in this range is dynamic, i.e. it has formulas and depending on the result of these formulae the cells in the range either have a value or the cell is left blank. The problem this causes is that the list ends up having gaps in it because it uses blank cells as well. And this is despite me specifcally ticking " Ignore Blank " in the Data Validation menu where I'm creating the list.

I have around 2368 rows for in each column and I have around 8 columns and what I need to do is to remove any gaps. I do not know how to attach picture here, but I can explaining it in words.
A1: 0.9
A2:
A3:
A4:
A5: -0.09
A6:
A7: 0.4
Is there a way to eliminate those gaps (A2, A3, A4, A6...) in one go?

I have a problem ranking a large dataset(more than 30000 rows, 16 different columns need to be ranked). My problem is that I dont want the ranks to have gaps when there are ties.
See how it should be in table below.
Ext P$
Rank
Should be
2,128.34
1
1
[Code]...
I do have a working solution with an array formula similar to this, but it slows down my macro (30 minutes instead of 10 seconds) as I need it to calculate 16 times
Code:
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(A$2:A$35000;A$2:A$35000)*(A$2:A$35000>A2))+1
I was thinking of using a for next loop to rank sorted columns but I dont know how to set it up properly.

I'm wanting to do is drag a formula down and it drop to the next cell rather than the same row number I'm on. For example I'm trying to concatenate a list of phrases whilst changing the main word. Here's an example of the excel sheet
Base Terms
Phrase
Result
car
red
van
blue
bus
red
blue
There is meant to be a space after the second red and blue enabling me to make (in order), red car, blue car, car red, car blue
How can I make it so I've done the relevant concatenate formulas for A2 with the B column and simply drag it down and Excel will switch from A2 to A3 and so on when I've dragged out the 4 formulas?

I have a file that contains addresses in column C. I need to find any gaps in addresses.
Ex:
211 Corbin Dr
213 Corbin Drive
214 Corbin Drive
123 Apple Drive
124 Apple Dr
124 Apple Dr
127 Apple Drive
I want to identify that there is a gap between 211 Corbin and 213 Corbin and 124 and 127 Apple Drive.
Currently the address including house number are in column c. However, I split the house number into a separate column and the street address in yet another column. There are also duplicates which I have identified by using conditional formatting to highlight the duplicates.

I have a sheet of over 40000 rows, I attach a sample. Column a is called dam and column b is called damsire. Each dam has only one 1 damsire. Both column a and column b are sorted ascending. Unfortunately there are big gaps in column b. some of these can be filled in as we have the information e.g. b38 and b39 should be Manila..as the row 37 tells you the correct damsire. Similiarly b49 could be filled in as shernazar. I want to create a new column which contains a formula to fill in these blanks. of course some of the blanks cant be filled in as the information is not there e.g. b23 to b28.

how I can format this timeline better (it was a to,e;ome template created by someone smart on this forum) - so that there isn't a huge gap between 1892 and then 1977... and then so the rest of the data isn't scrunched together.

I have a load of postcodes over 8 different tabs, the problem is the format of the postcode is wrong. I basically need to delete the first gap of each cell to make the postcode valid -
DL 7 9
DL 8 1
DL 8 2
DL 8 4
DL 8 5
DL 9 3
DL 9 4
DL 10 4
DL 10 5
DL 10 6
DL 10 7
DL 11 7
You see I need to have it like DL7 9, or DL10 7, but i'm not sure how, I've attached the file so you can have a look.

I'm doing some simple data extraction, e.g.
A B
1 bob 3
2 mandy 4
3 charlie 6
4 dave 1
5 steve 5
So I had in c1 to c5 = =if(b1 > 3, a1,"") autofilled, which works fine, but I end up with,
gap
mandy
charlie
gap
steve
how would I get,
mandy
charlie
steve
also is it possible to have an if statement in 1 cell change the value of another cell?
e.g.
in a1
if(b1>5, c1="yes",c1="no"), can't seem to get it to work

Is there a formula to count gaps? If you see the sheet below, I want to count maximum gaps in range A1:J12 and put that count in column L.

I am trying to get two shapes to butt up to each other. Unfortunately the shapes either leave a small gap or a slight overlay. I have tried using Ctrl + arrow key to move in small increments, but that didn't work. I have also tried adjusting the width of the rows, but the rows jump backwards or forwards to a number instead of staying with the number I entered. I want to create a seamless shape out of many different shapes.

I have what is probably a simple problem for most, but can't figure out what to do.
In the sample sheet attached, I have times in column E, and an action describing what has happened in column G. What I want to do is calculate the length of time between an opening action and closing one, but don't know how to go about it, as there can be an empty cell(and sometimes more) between each open and close.

I have attached a work sheet where I have part of a formula working.
Although what I am trying to achieve is in the example in column B.
It is possible to fill in the gaps as in column B with the task between the time frames.?

The solution can be either in VBA or conditional formatting, if possible.I have product names on column A and weeks as from column B where I have the quantity sold. So, every week I'll have an additional column.
A B C D E ...
Product Week1 Week2 Week3 Week4...
What I need:
If the cell is filled, highlight it in green.
If the gap (empty cells) between weeks is =1, highlight it in yellow
If the gap (empty cells) between weeks is >1 but <2, highlight it in orange
If the gap (empty cells) between weeks is >2, highlight it in red
The attached example better illustrates the needs : Example.xlsx

I get given a csv file on a monthly basis which contains consumption data per day for the specified period. This sounds simple but on occasion (more often than not) the data has missing days. This can cause me problem later on in my analysis.
I can happily total the monthly consumption using the date and month text. What i want to do however is to sort the csv file into daily consumption and highlight the missing days i.e. have a range of the days in the month and allocate the daily data to the correct date. I currently do this manually but know that there must be a better, automated approach... searching for matching dates for example?
In my head i'm thinking the following approach but lack the coding skills to do it.
1. Define the start and end dates. Perhaps count the number of days between the two dates and autofill the start date down the appropriate number of days in column A?
2. Paste the csv file into a different sheet and, starting from the top, cut and paste the csv data to the correct date created in step 1. Do this for each row based on the csv data.

I have been browsing here off and on, and have found many excellent answers. I use Excel to process data on time series, as an adjunct to consultancy work on statistical analysis of industrial data . Usually the data has irregular gaps, e.g., daily data might have 2-10 day gaps. If I want to take, say, 7-day averages, SKIPPING OVER gaps longer than 2 days(say), is there an easy way to do this (I don't really know VBA,and it is not worth my time to try and write long code for this, which will eventually be done by some professional programmers)!

I get sheets, sometimes 10 records, sometimes 1,000 records. And there is a time column. It's formatted as: hh:mm:ssam (09:12:36am). Now what I need to do is find a way to highlight any record that has a large gap between itself and the record before it. This gap amount can be variable, but for the explanation lets say, I need to highlight any record that has a gap of 5 minutes greater than the time before it.
I've tried a formula I found elsewhere:
=F3-F2> 1/24/60*5
But it just returns "#VALUE!".
I'm completely stumped, and since about last week, 1 of my daily responsibilites will be analysing anywhere from 10 - 50 sheets a day.
The guy before me would open the sheet and manually find it by literally looking from record to record. This was this 1 guy's full time job. From what I'm reading around there are ways to have excel do this for me with a simple formula and conditional formatting.

I have my dummy data, and I have (what I think) is how I want the data to be shown. My friend uses Google Sheets, but I prefer Excel. I am trying to convert the code because I am a stickler for excel. Typically I can convert codes some easily, but this is way beyond me.
For Column A: I want to create a list on sheet 'Setup!' based on ids!D2:D="yes". If that list has duplicate entries, I would like only the first entry to show up, but for the next entries I would like the cell to be blank. (this is important for the next step) For Column C: I want to have the corresponding dates go with the name entry. For Column D: I want to have the notes go with the corresponding date entry. (I believe I can manipulate Column C's code to do Column D myself).
I am also going to upload a data sheet, and an expected results sheet.

I have pulled a SharePoint list into my workbook. The list object (table) is still linked to the SharePoint list, as I'd like to synchronize it later on. I have filtered it with an autofilter. I'd like to delete all of the visible rows. I have tried a billion things to no avail. I have been searching Google for hours now. None of the examples work.

I'm using Excel 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.
I have one sheet with a large list of dates and total prices.
I have a second sheet with a list of dates and unit prices.
I want to divide the total price in my first list by the unit price on my second list.
I want to somehow point Excel to the date in the first list, and then lookup the corresponding date in the second list to use the correct unit price.
My thoughts thus far have been along using VLOOKUP with WEEKNUM and YEAR but I've been unsuccessful.

i'm writing a refrigeration selection user interface, working from values on an excel spreadsheet. how to get the programme to automatically select a value from a list or range once a user has selected corresponding value from a list within a combobox. for example if a user sets the temperature of their refrigerator to -5 celsius i need the programme to automatically select the corresponding value of enthalpy for the air at that temperature.

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit
Refers to:
banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

It is a product list of office stationary with codes, descriptions and quantities. Using this spreadsheet we input into the quantity how many we want of the item, all well and simple you could call the list a stationary order form.
What I would like to be able to do with this Giant list is to have a function that would extract items off the list into a cleaner consolidated form. As in, if I wanted to order some of item A, C and F, I would like for the second table to just Show ACF without every letter in between or blank cells.
I know a simple method would be to have an IF formula to return the information to a new sheet that I could simply remove blank cell rows (unordered items) and ready for print each time. But I would love to know if there is a better way this could be achieved.
I have basic/intermediate knowledge of excel and can setup the data if need be in order for the function to work, but I can't seem to find the correct function for this project.
