Hello World Function Returns #NAME?

Nov 17, 2009

I'm a newbie who has a simple "Area()" function that multiplies two numbers. I copied it off the Net as a programming test. I added to a Module of my Workbook using Tools>Macro>Visual Basic Editor. I put it in "Modules>Module1". Problem is, it doesn't seem to be recognized in my Workbook. When I enter "=Area(A1,A2)" into a cell (without the quotes) I get "#NAME?". What am I doing wrong? Here's the function:

MIN Function Returns Same Value For Every Row?

Dec 26, 2013

In column D I have the time of the end of my shift. When I try to input =MIN(1;$D:$D) in column E, i get the same answer (0,625) for any row, while =$D:$D gives correct values. So I guess it has something to do with the MIN function

Aug 1, 2008

Have a spreadsheet prepared by someone else on older Excel version exported from database. The sum and count functions work fine both vertically and horizontally, but trying to add selected cells returns #VALUE! Attached is small range of 50-col x 2500 row spreadsheet. Original content is highlighted in yellow. See cell E2. I assume the forumula is seeing number content as text. How do I convert the entire spreadsheet to numbers.

World Cup Wall Chart

Apr 19, 2006

I'm a keen football fan and have created a World Cup Wallchart in Excel. It's free and can be downloaded from here.

I've just created it so let me know of any bugs or comments - I'd be keen to know what you think. Only 51 days to go

Features:
Each country has their flag displayed for the matches and the group tables.
A map of Germany is displayed by the matches. When you select the row for the match the row will be highlighted and the city where the match is being played will be coloured red in the map.

The Match Schedule sheet will automatically scroll if your selected row is matchday 33+ and the map will move down

After the scores for a match have been entered the group tables will be updated and sorted by Points, Goal Difference then Goals For.

After each group is complete (i.e. the 6 matches for the group have been played) the round of 16 team names will begin to appear in the match day list.

If there is a tie after extra time in the knockout stages (match day 49 onwards) a box will appear asking you to enter the results of the penalty shootout.

Installation:
Download the World Cup zip file.

Unzip the contents of the zip file to a folder. Note that the Excel file and the image files must be retained in the same folder.

Open the Excel file and select the Enable Macros button. If the Enable Macros button doesn't appear select Tools|Macro Security and amend the security level to Medium then close Excel and re-open the file

Function That Returns The First Value In An Array

Jan 24, 2007

I am working on a Monthly Vehicle Spread Sheet. One of the outputs I am trying to achieve is an automatic calculation of Mile Per Gallon. To do this, I need to know if there is a function that will return the value of the first entry of a group of cells.

In calculating the miles per gallon, I need to subtract the first gallon amount entry of the total gallons in the month, then divide that number into the difference of the mileage in the month recorded when the vehicles fueled up.

Mid Function Returns Odd Results

Jun 1, 2006

I'm using the following phrase out of a much longer expression to
demonstrate that the return value of the MID function seems to be nothing I
can understand.

This expression:

=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1))

returns 6/10 as text which makes sense. However I was under the impression
that when text in Excel contains numeric characters, it can be interpreted
as a number. So then how does the following expression,

=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1)*1

return the result 38878? Does it still think it's text?

Lookup Function Returns #N/A Or #REF

Apr 23, 2007

Im trying to do a lookup but when I drag the formula down it returns the wrong values and also returns #N/A or #REF (which I think means it's refering to a wrong range and cant find the data???). How can I do a look up function by dragging the formula down a long column of data eg. 65,000 rows in excel, that returns the correct text. I have attached a simple example- see attached.

Instr Function Returns Zero

Jun 25, 2007

i have a very basic function using instr as follows:

ins = 0
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer

findst = "["
finden = "]"

x = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, findst, vbTextCompare)
y = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, finden, vbTextCompare)

Debug.Print x,y

oldstrgFd in the example is populated with

[ClientName] Planning Workshop
[FeedbackLocation], [FeedbackDate]
[FeedbackPresenters]

I am expecting this the first positions of the square brackets, but x and y both return 0.

Function Returns #NUM! Error

Sep 30, 2007

Is there a way in which you can create an if function or similar to give a reason for why the cell of data has an error.

E.G.

Cell A1 Cell B1
#Num! Number error due to 'x' being too small

Not sure how i can get this to work, i have tried a basic if function but that hasnt worked.

WEEKNUM Function Returns #NAME?

Jan 17, 2008

I am trying to get the week from a given data (from a cell that has been correctly formatted with date). =YEAR works, =MONTH works, =WEEKNUM does not work. I am using Excel 2003 and I have tried in both my workplace and at home...

I.e., I have a date in C2 (18-05-08), and =YEAR(C2) returns 2008, =MONTH(C2) returns 5, while =WEEKNUM(C2) returns #NAME, and =WEEKNUM(C2,2) does not work at all...

Max Function That Returns A Column Heading

Mar 27, 2014

Let's say I have data that looks like this grid below. Each color represents a column heading and each number is a data point within that column.

Blue Red Green Yellow
18 27 15 36
56 41 3 22

Can I write a formula that would do the following 2 things with the data in this format:

1. Find the max of the data...simple =Max(...) formula
2. Use the max to return the column heading. In this case the max is 56 so the value I want to return is "Blue"

IF Function Returns False Positive

May 7, 2009

I have calculated the t values then i have three tables for 3 confidence levels, 0.01, 0.05,0.1 in which I compare the t value with the value from the
t-test table. If the t value is larger it returns a 1, if not a 0. This works fine.

To summarise the information I have a final table which I wish to return the highest significance of the given t value.

I am using this
=IF((G53=1),0.01,(IF(G44=1,0.05,(IF(G35=10,0.05,"none")))))

the problem I have is it always returns 0.01 even if g53=0. If i remove the formula from g53 and replace it with a 0, it returns 0.05 instead (even if g44 is retruning a 0).

I have considered copy paste values and doing this but that rather removes the automation aspect of the spreadsheet if I need to make adjustments.

AND Function Returns Zero For FALSE & One For TRUE

Oct 18, 2007

I've been asked to adjust some thing with a worksheet someone else created. On the sheet labeled "Criteria" there is a list of dates and some formulas that use these dates. I can't figure out why the result of the formula is a number, i.e "0"; I thought it is supposed to return "TRUE" or "FALSE". If I insert a new sheet, within the same workbook, and insert the same formula, I get "TRUE" or "FALSE". For some reason, the "Criteria" worksheet doesn't return "TRUE" or "FALSE", it returns numbers. I just need to know why this is happening so I can replicate it in the new workbook I'm creating.

MATCH Function Returns Unexpected Result

Dec 3, 2013

In the attached file I used =MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B$2:$B$10="",0)) to retrieve the location of the first empty cell.

When using the "Evaluate Formula" tool, it is clear that the position in the array created by the INDEX function is the 6th. Nevertheless, the final outcome is 9, being the last cell in range.

Function To Indicate Whether An Expression Returns A Non-zero Result (2007)

Jan 28, 2010

I have this COUNTIFS expression buried in a larger formula:

COUNTIFS(Table[C7],Table[C7]&"",Table[C21],">=1")

and it always returns a value of zero or some positive integer.

I'm now looking for a little "function" that I can wrap around this expression that will:

A) indicate any non-zero result as 1 or TRUE

and

B) indicate any zero result as 0 or FALSE

Something like...

AREYOUNONZERO( (COUNTIFS(Table[C7],Table[C7]&"",Table[C21],">=1") )

I'm sure there's a fairly efficient way to do this... but I'm totally stumped at the moment!

Find Function In VBA Returns A Date That Is Almost Correct

Code:
Set fstdate = wsOBX.Range("B1:B" & lr1).Find(what:=startdate, _

SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)

Index Function Working Correctly When Hit F9 But Returns Different Result

I'm compiling a list of names on a separate tab from a column that only lists the names sporadically. Problem: In the formula, the IF provides a TRUE, the row function, and consequently, the INDEX function (when I hit F9) provides the correct "name" and row number, but when I hit return, it provides the text 4 cells beneath what it should.
