HLOOKUP To Work With Cells Containing Formulas
Dec 8, 2013
I have a niggling problem with a worksheet when using Hlookup to return a value from a range of cells it is coming up with blanks when there is data in the range.
There is only ever one row cell containing text in the specified range and i need this to be returned in another column.
The problem with the hlookup formula i am using is that it will not work if cells contain formulas and in the range i am working on all cells contain formulas.
I know this formula works if there is text without a formula in the cell range, as soon as it hits a cell with a formula though it won't work.
I have attached the sheet : Book4.xlsx
From j138 there is one cell with text i wish to be returned in column q for each row. E.g., in q1 the first cell text returned would be khawatim. q2 should contain cantor etc etc.

i'm trying to use HLookup to find an adjusted midterm grade that's given. but i have some conditions:
If student missed exam and has a zero – keep zero.
If student has a grade of 1-119 points, increase their grade 40 points.
If student has a grade of 120-125 points, increase their grade 35 points.
If student has a grade of 126-131 points, increase their grade 31 points.
If student has a grade of 132-139 points, increase their grade 27 points.
with these conditions, if my midterms grade is 120, how would i calculate it using HLookup? i worked on it but i keep getting the #NA! error.
=H4+HLOOKUP(H4,B24:D25,2).

I am trying to import a BASE ESTIMATE table into EXCEL.
I have problems with most of the formulas, especially this one:
=VLOOKUP($E$2,$B$24:$P$604,HLOOKUP($E$3,$D$22:$L$604,1)+2)*HLOOKUP(HLOOKUP($E$3,$D$22:$L$604,1),$D$2 2:$L$23,2)
and this one
=ROUND((IF(AND(OR(E7>E5,E7>E6),E3<40000),E7,IF(AND(E6<E5,E3<40000),E6,E5)))*E8*1.055*1.06,2)+10
I am not sure if EXCEL allows a HLOOKUP within an HLOOKUP. If not, how can I get around this?

i have the following formulas that work perfectly seperatly
=MAX(0,(E28-D28-"0:45")*24-F28)
=IF(C28=$C$70,C28=$C$72),2,0)
but it is imperative that i get them to show there results in the same cell.
neither are used at the same time, only one result is required depending on what is needed.
i did try putting them together as follows but did not work
=MAX(0,(E28-D28-"0:45")*24-F28),IF(C28=$C$70,C28=$C$72),2,0)

I'm trying to get some formatting/formulas to work, but apparently I'm not doing it right (otherwise, I wouldn't be here ):
1. Column A has dates. I want Column A_ to be red if the date is a week old or more from today's date, and white if it is not.
2. Column A has dates, and column B has dollar values. I want three four summations:
-Total dollar value from dates a week old from today's date
-Total dollar value from dates 2 weeks old from today's dates
-Total dollar value a month old from today's date
-Total dollar value year to date

I have created two documents. One document (A) is my worksheet where I input data, the second document (B) is my spreadsheet where it comprises all my data into the fields I want. I have completed both documents on computer (1) and now need to transfer it to another computer (2). However my formulas no longer function after I move the document (A) from computer (1) to computer (2). Is there a way for me to work around this? Do I need to transfer the spreadsheet (B) to computer (2) in order for them to function correctly? How can I make it so I have the worksheet (A) on computer (1) enter data correctly into the spreadsheet (B) on computer (2)?

I've developed a spreadsheet that shows what errors people made in their spreadsheets. I compare cell A1 in spreadsheet 1 (original) against cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 (final), in spreadsheet 3. Spreadsheet 3 shows a "-" if the cell they wrote was OK, and shows the new, correct value if they made an error, as follows:
=IF('Final'!A5='Original'!A5, "-",'Final'!A5)
The problem is, this only works if I take the original spreadsheets, which contain formulae in each cell, and paste them into a new spreadsheet using paste values.
Is it possible for the IF function to search the formula in a cell, and not the value?

This formula is returning 0.2578 when it should return 2.473
{=AVERAGE(('Data-Design'!E2:E6000)*('Data-Design'!Q2:Q6000=1))}
What am I not understanding?
I want the average of column E when column Q=1

I'm working on a spreadsheet which will sum values from two source worksheets based on the month and year in certain columns. I put together a summary worksheet and was able to successfully pull the data I wanted. So my next step was to convert the Summary data into a table (because I prefer the aesthetic value of the "greenbar" effect in Excel tables). But as soon as I converted the cells to a table, the formulas returned nothing.
After playing around with it, I determined that the problem seems to be the fact that I use the year criteria as a cell reference (that way, I can later change the year in one cell and update all the dependent formula). I've got "2013" in Cell A1 in General format, and all the formulas use a YEAR=$A$1 criterion. I found out that if I changed the formulas to YEAR=2013 instead of using the cell reference, I got the desired result again. But I cannot quite understand why changing the data into a table would alter the way Excel interprets the formula (plus, I still want to be able to change the year by updating one single cell).

Problem we are having with sorting a table.
The table (A1:E10) was created by pulling data from another worksheet using INDEX and ARRAY formulas.
We inserted 6 columns to move the table over to G1:K10 (used column F to space the two tables).
We then duplicated the table: cell A1=G1, B1=H1, ...., E1=K1 and dragged the formulas down. We now have a duplicate table that we want to sort.
We choose CUSTOM SORT and choose 2 levels of sorting ... column A and column C.
PROBLEM: The ARRAY formulation evidently overrides the sort function because the table remains as it was when the sorting command is executed.
Is there a way to bring the data from table G1:K10 over to table A1:E10 in a manner that will allow sorting??

For ex : Today is July and it has 31 days, the 31 days will be distributed to the defined workweek and calculate the contents of the corresponding column.
here is the distribution of columns per week as reference.
(31 days)

I have been given a spreadsheet to fix as the user says the charts/graphs aren't adding the new data.
But when I looked closer at the workbook the whole thing just seemed a little wrong to me
Please see the workbook attached.
All the data is entered into the sheet 'Data Entry'.
Then on the 'Data' sheet it should pull thru some key values but half of it isn't done and it isn't very smart.
I have created a 'TEST Data' sheet so I could start messing with it.
I was going to pull the data thru from 'Data Entry' into the 'TEST Data' sheet using a Hlookup to make sure it worked before i messd with the actual 'Data' sheet.
The problem I am having is moving/copying the Hlookup across.
On the 'TEST data' sheet the Hlookup is as follows and is correct:
=HLOOKUP($A$5,'Data Entry'!$C$4:$M$472,2,FALSE)
But the next set of (Week 2) is not in the 2nd or even 3rd row of the array, its in row 11......... thats 9 rows down from the original.
Moving on the data i want to bring back is always 9 more than the last so the Hlookups should look like:
=HLOOKUP($A$5,'Data Entry'!$C$4:$M$472,11,FALSE)
=HLOOKUP($A$5,'Data Entry'!$C$4:$M$472,20,FALSE)
=HLOOKUP($A$5,'Data Entry'!$C$4:$M$472,29,FALSE)
etc etc
Can any of you guys out there help on how I can do this or it may not even be a Hlookup but something even smarter!!

I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

This situation is as follows. I have a worksheet with 12 sheets. One sheet per month which is used to show monthly cost expenses for certain categories.
I have a budget category, a paid this month, a paid previous months and paid year to date. I suppose I can take the paid previous months out if I can get this to work but I need to calculate one of those cells (prev months or ytd) to calculate and sum the previous months and then tack on the current month.
Previously I have had these categories and used =SUM(Month:Month!A1)
Like --- > =SUM(Jan:Nov!C10)
This works and all I have to do is add on the current month to paid prev and get a ytd but this also means that I have to rewrite the formuals concurent with the noted month. Is there a way that I can make one sheet as a base and then just make 11 copies with a formula that will sum all previous worksheets to the start at a certain cell reference. So say sum all A1's on all worksheets before the one that is currently in use say for example Dec.
If I need to rewrite them that is find but I figured there should be an easier way to do this so I would not have to rewrite each month individually and then copy the formuals through that sheet.

Macro to clear cells with numbers but no cells with formulas with in this macro:
Dim i As Long
i = Range("E3")
If i > 0 Then
' Copy range
Range(Cells(6, 10 + i), Cells(500, 17)).Copy
Range(Cells(6, 10), Cells(500, 17)).Select
' Paste special
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=2, Link:=1, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, IconFileName:=False
' Clear i columns on the right
Range(Cells(6, 18 - i), Cells(500, 17)).ClearContents
End If
End Sub
The range is where the cells with numbers need to be cleared but not the ones with formulas.

i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

On the attached form, for row 3 information is manually inputed into C3 and E3 to J3; K3 then looks at the max value inputed in E3 to J3 and alters L3 accordingly.
Row 4 is my attempt to automate the process. I am trying to alter the sheet so that the information added into C4 updates E4 to J4 automatically and then K4 looks at the max value and alters L4 accordingly.
Since I added the formula to H4 to look for info in C4, the max formula in K4 no longer works, as such L4 will not update.

I have renamed some cells to custom names eg. renamed cell A1 to FLIGHT and B1 to FLIGHT2.
When I apply a filter to the columns and autofilter, the renamed cell now refers to a different cell! ie. FLIGHT no longer has the same text value in it
This also only happens when I autofilter by alphabetically or highest/lowest values

I had an "If" formula that would grab my numeric data from one cell and dump it into the corresponding cell depending on my letter code. I had to change my code vales from apha to numeric. I enclosed the attached spreadsheet and highlighted the cells in yellow that are in my formula that don't work any longer. I was hoping someone may have a solution.

How do I get a function to check cells on multiple work sheets.
For example this function searches for the word "hello" in cells, A1 to A50 and then adds up the number in the corresponding cells where "hello" is found from C1 to C50:
=SUMIF($A$1:$A$50,"=hello",$C$1:$C$50)
Two questions:
01) How do I search the same cells in two further work sheet, "Sheet2" & "Sheet3"?
02) Is there a way to search every cell in an entire work sheet?

I imported a picture and changed the properties thus:
Lock aspect ratio is set.
Move and size with cells is set.
If I resize the picture itself, the aspect ratio is maintained - good. However, if I make the column narrower, the pictures width changes, the height remains the same and it acquires a new locked aspect ratio - bad.

I am trying to find a way to match formulas from two cells (not the value but the formula). I am creating a smaller excel test where they can enter a formula (C3) and directly see if it matches the correct answer (F3) All I have found is formulas containing value comparison.

How do you force excel to recompute for the formulas in the cells. I know excel automatically does it however running the delay in recomputing the formulas is making wrong reference. I need to monitor the location of the cell using the match function.
