Highlight A Cell Formula Result If It Doesn't Match

Sep 28, 2007

I've been asked to assist with modifications of an excel spreadsheet. One of the features is a column that has a formula of what the total order should be. For example, 1 base order of 25.00, plus 1 bonus order of 18.00, plus 2 bonus orders of 15.00 would be $73.00 due. Then data entry persons enter the actual amount collected. Is there a way to highlight either the cell or the result if the amount collected does not equal the amount due? I know I can accomplish this with another column, but they want to keep the columns to a minimum.

This is for a non-profit agency and the orders are now at 1000 that must be entered within a day or two period, so they want to keep the fields to a minimum so as to make the entry easier for those doing the input. And they would like the data entry person to see an immediate flag if what he or she enters as collected does not equal what is due.

Changing Search Result Cell Highlight Color?

May 10, 2013

When I do a SEARCH operation to find the number 10 among hundreds of cells containing data, I'm often finding the way Excel highlights the cell that meets the search result is not easy enough to see.

Is there anyway I could setup Excel so that the resulting cell that meets the search result is highlighted in a RED border or RED Fill? I would like the cell that meets the search result to scream at me with a color highlight that is not easy to miss.

VLOOKUP Formula Dragdown Copies Previous Cell Result Instead Of Unique Result

Jun 10, 2014

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.

If Two Cells Match (date), Highlight A Third Cell...

Aug 14, 2009

I have a row D2:ND2 where each cell contains a date from October 1st through to September 20th). I also have a column NI3:NI13 that contains various dates such as Easter or bank holidays. Would it be possible to use conditional formatting (or something else) to highlight all rows below D2:ND2 if the dates specified in each cell in D2:ND2 match any of the dates in column NI3:NI13?

Recorded Macro Doesn't Seem To Provide Expected Result

Sep 21, 2009

On column A, I simply do an A-Z sort that gives the expected result. So I recorded it as a macro. In column G is a code that corresponds with column A. When the marcro is executed Column A is sorted but the corresponding value in G stays where it is. Clicking the A-Z button works. But when that action is recorded as a macro I get the above quirck. Since VBA is not my beef, I don't really know what wrong.

Highlight Rows Where Only Specific Cell Values Match?

Jul 22, 2014

I'm finding it hard to explain what I am trying to do (which may be why I can't find a solution through Google), so I have an example. I am using a much larger spreadsheet than this sample(18,000 rows)

ID
First_Name
Last_Name
Company

[Code]....

I want to highlight rows if there are multiple instances of ID and # values - I included a column at the end showing which rows in this data set would be highlighted.

Isolate Data That Doesn't Match

Jan 8, 2008

I have a long lists of values (product numbers) from our inventory records. Now, we've been given a new list of product numbers, some are the same and some are not.

I want to isolate (spit out) the values from column A, than don't match column B. Column B is the list we SHOULD be using, column A is what we're currently using. See example below.

Old Products New Products
34544 34544
34545 34546
34546 34547
34547 34548
34548 34550
34549 34551

Match Function Doesn't Find Values

Feb 5, 2009

I've been using a Index and Match Functions to locate values,

What I'm trying to do is as follows:

Column A contains x values and Column B contains another value

A length is entered at the top of the worksheet, when the x value is greater than half the length the values will be mirrored about the centre point.

To do this i'm doing x-(length/2) to give the corresponding value of x on the other side of the length

I can do the If functions etc to sort all this out, but the match function isnt working, see attached, it isn't finding values which are in the list, when i use 0 for exact match, i've tried using 1 but it still isn't finding the correct values.

Combine SUMPRODUCT With INDEX And MATCH But It Doesn't Work?

Dec 15, 2013

Now I'm trying to improve the functionality of the file attached above.I've attached the file again with another drop-down menu. What I'm trying to do is to have a sum of all the months between the two months indicated in the drop down menu.For example by picking two months from the drop down menus, I want to know the sum of the values between Jan-Mar (Jan, Feb and Mar), or for example Jul-Oct (Jul,Aug,Sep and Oct)...

I've tried to combine SUMPRODUCT with INDEX and MATCH but it doesn't work. I want to build upon this formula:

[Code]....

I forgot to mention that I have multiple strings (column E) which are NOT unique. Basically "VLOOKUP way" won't work, rather it should be "SUMIF way".

In the attached file I've added one additional row (r19), which is the same as r18, just to try how the summing will work.

Subtotals - Grand Total Figure Doesn't Match

Nov 11, 2009

I am using subtotals for a large spreadsheet showing various sales by person and area. I have sorted the data by area then by person and insterted subtotals. All columns are fine, except two. On two columns, the grand total displayed does not match the sum of the areas.

If I remove the subtotals and sum the columns, they are all correct. It is only when using the subtotal function that the error occurs, and only ever on these two particular columns.

Formula Cell Showing Formula Not Result

Aug 24, 2006

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.

Formula In Same Cell As Result

Dec 15, 2009

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.

IF Formula That References A Cell And Returns A Different Result Dependant On The Number In The Cell Being Referenced

Oct 2, 2009

I'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.

Formula Showing In The Cell But Not The Result

Aug 23, 2002

I 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.

Cell Displays Formula Instead Of Result

Nov 6, 2007

=K18+Sheet117!K18

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.

Having Macro Act Upon Formula Result In Cell

Nov 10, 2009

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)

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.

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.

Can I Make A Formula That Will Highlight A Cell

Sep 1, 2009

I have a large spreadsheet with many pieces of equipment in it. There are a few piece that I would like to highlight should thier computer license go out of date, or even better 30 days prior. I have a Feild with the Expire dates but it is at the end of the spreadsheet not in plain sight. Is there a way to make my Equipment description column highlight when the date in the other column reaches the current date (or 30 Days before). I have cut and pasted the part of the spreadsheet into a new file to make it easier to read and hid all the none important feilds.
