I have been building a spread sheet data base which I think is pretty simple.
It now has quite a few formula's and is taking time to calculate when I add data.
I have tried to simplify some formula's and get rid of complex one's that can be replaced with simple ones... Is there any advice or suggestions for reducing the calculating time..?
I am a big fan of huge files (30MB+) all interlinked with array formulas ...and lots of them. The problem is...one calculation take literally 5 hours. (I have one file I try to calculate since cca 4 hours now...it's at 63%)
I keep getting extra memory with no visible improvement on the processing time. Is there a trick out there that I can use? Something is clearly wrong.
I feel I will soon have to give up Excel, or my formulas, or my job ...
I have a problem where I extended a formula down to over 40,000 records which has increased the file size substantially. I only need it to scroll down to a few thousand rows now that I realized that there is alot less data to populate the worksheet. Is there any way to get it back to a scroll range that is more modest in size?

The file cotains Macros, Formulae, Named Ranges and Colour formatting.
I know that VBA doesn't always slim down workbook size and calculations are calculations whether in VBA or Formula format; but in this instance, do you think VBA would be a better choice? This workbook is currently enormous in size and slow, and I think I can slim it down if I used the right VBA procedures. However, Im not certain what those procedures would be.
On two seperate worksheets in a workbook, I have a column that contains a formula that references a third sheet.
Sheet 1 = "Order"
Sheet 2 = "Turn-in"
Sheet 3 = "Bank"
Ok, here's the scenario: On the "Order" sheet, I have a list of orders from my company; on the "turn-In" sheet, a list of turn-ins. The "Bank" sheet lists ALL transactions (ORDER AND TURN-IN).
On both the turn-in and Order sheets, the formula is pretty much the same; it references a different column on the bank sheet, but does it the exact same way. Ok... The Order sheet lists all order from the company by order number (column A); the formula uses that order number and finds the transaction on the "Bank" sheet and returns the order cost as the result. however, the order numbers on the bank sheet have a 5 digit prefix on them (the prefix is the same on all orders, its used by the bank but only orders with my 5 digit prefix are on the list sent to me and pasted to this sheet. So all orders on bank sheet have the same prefix)
The below formula is in Cell C10 on "Order" Sheet; Column C lists the Cost reported by the bank. The formula below references the Bank sheet database, looks for an order number that matches the order number in A10 (Adding the prefix of course), and returns a cooresponding cost for that transaction.
=IF(ISBLANK(A10),"",IF(COUNTIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,("ECGGT"&A10))>1,"",SUMIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,"ECGGT"&$A10,BANK!$F$4)))
I know this seems long for what it is, but it has to add the prefix, and then match the order number, and reference the cooresponding cost.
The kicker, this forumla is in more than 10,000 cells; 6,000 on the order sheet, and 5,000 on the turn-in sheet. Of course the references are a little different, but the principle is the same for all of them.
Is there a way to do this in VBA to save space and resources? This formula is really dragging.
I'm creating a Purchase Order Form that will reduce time spent adding in contact details.What I'm looking to achieve is a form that will be printed with a few formulas allowing sections of the form to be filled out automatically once a singular company name (chosen from a drop-down list I created, currently with a 'Combo box ActiveX') then the rest of the form is filled out accordingly.
At the moment it's a bit of a mess, not too sure where I'm meant to put the ranges.There are currently 2 sheets - Sheet 1 with the form, Sheet 2 with all contact information.
I've been having trouble recently with my workbook file size growing rapidly due to copy and paste commands and such. I found a very nice macro to reduce file size called ExcelDiet located at [url]

This code works fine until I share the workbook. Can anyone take a look at this code and provide some information as to why this might be happening?
I am having a little trouble with a spreadsheet I am creating, the formulas and cell formatting I should be using to enable this to work.
Here goes:
in cell E3 I have a time started (e.g 12:45 pm), In F3 i have time finished (e.g 2:30 pm)
So, what i'm wanting is the time taken in G3 and also, i have the amount of units that is entered manually in H3. I would like I3 to show the time taken per unit.
I'm battling to come up with the formula to calculate time and a half and double time. My boss wants me to show the overtime worked AFTER 40 hours has been worked. I have attached a copy of my spreadsheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know the title is a bit vague, but I cant think how else to word it!
I have a sheet (attached) which works out hours worked, and if the amount is under a specified target, it counts how much time is owed. The problem occurs when someone works more hours than the specified target.
I guess I need an IF formula of some kind, to say if the figure is over the target, to put zero in the hours owed column.
Firstly, i'd like cell G5 to show the amount of time worked i.e diff between E6 & F6. Secondly I'd like help with the formula for cells AF6 & AG6 which would require AB6-AC6 divided by the frames, every time I try it I get a messed up answer.

i have this formula in excel...this formula sanrv1f posted to help with another question (values changed) but i thought i would work with what i wanted but i get a (Value) error
so what im trying to do is base on the system time is if the person typed in
if they were early 6:45am to 7am they get Extra $5 on top of the $5 they get for being on time.
6:55am gets $5
7:00am they get $5.00 for being on time
if they type 7:01am to 7:05am they get $3.00
if they type 7:06 to 7:10am would return You Were Late
after 7:10am would return No Pay
so Ex
D4 *answers in E4 *
7am would get $5
7:03am am would get $3
7:07am would get You Were Late
7:11am Would get No Pay
if they were on time 5 times (ie 5days in a row) they would get a bonus of $20 i tried factoring this in could not do it :/
basically I need an excel sheet to calculate the period of time between cells.
For instance, in A1 I write:
18-Feb-10
In A2 I write:
13:00
Unfortunately I cannot write 18-Feb-09 13:00 in just one cell because it doesn't work.
Now, in B1 I write 19-Feb-10
and in B2 I write 15:14
Now we know that 26 hours and 14 minutes have elapsed between these two times. So if I want this to automatically be calculated in B3, what do I do?
Also, how do I apply the formula to all cells in column 3 so all I have to type in is the date (in column 1) and the time (in column 2)?
I'm having a DICKENS of a time on this one. To explain, I have 3 columns where time is entered: a 'Time of Call', 'Time of Arrival', and 'Response Time'. The 'Response Time' cell autcalculates by simply subtracting the 'Time of Arrival' form the 'Time of Call' and using the difference to show the response time. To make time entry into the 'Time of Call' and 'Time of Arrival' simplier for my co-workers, I formatted those cells as 00:00 so that anytime you enter a number it will convert it to a time format (i.e., if you enter in the numbers 745, it will show as 7:45 in the cell). Because of this, when the response time is configured, it does it in hundreds instead of time format. So, if you enter in 7:45 as your time of call and 8:15 as your time of arrival, it shows 70 minutes as a response time because it sees the 7:45 as a whole number...745. Therefore, 815-745 DOES equal 70, but...that's not what I'm looking for. I want it too configure this as time...not as whole numbers.

I need the hours spent in the building per day and then the grand total per month.
I'm trying to calculate the variance between planned date & time of arrival vs actual date & time of arrival.
I attach the workbook as am a bit useless at explaining myself....
What I've done is in H14 subtract the actual date of arrival (F14) from planned date of arrival (C14). This result is the only way I could think of dealing with crossing over midnight. As a result I14 should subtract the actual time of arrival (E14) from planned time of arrival (B14):
=SUM(E14-B14,H14)
This method works well when the arrival was later than expected but doesn't work if the arrival was sooner than expected.
I've browsed the net searching for a solution to my problem and found one solution altough not entirely what i was after, but it was very close. It was provided on another forum, of which i'm not a member.

I have a TAT target of <= 2hours, however this is complicated by weekends, holidays and jobs received after working hours and on weekends. I've attached the file, which contains detailed information about my problem.
I'm calculating the difference in time:
9:54-9:45 = 0:09
Now to convert this in minutes (in number format), I multiply this number with 1440:
0:09*1440 = 9
When I click the cell this number is actually 9.0000005, rather than exact 9. I need it to be exact 9 since I have to match this number from other excel sheet.
To sum up:
This is what I expect:
31.99999 should be changed to 32
10.000001 should be changed to 10.
I am trying to track how long a macro takes to run from start to end.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI managed to put together an array formula to calculate the last date that a rep made a sale. It checks two other tabs in the workbook to find the date, and if none is found, it leaves the cell empty.
{=IF(MAXA(IF('Daily Compliance'!A:A=B48,'Daily Compliance'!O:O),IF('Daily Compliance 11-07 to 4-08'!B:B=B48,'Daily Compliance 11-07 to 4-08'!A:A))=0,"",MAXA(IF('Daily Compliance'!A:A=B48,'Daily Compliance'!O:O),IF('Daily Compliance 11-07 to 4-08'!B:B=B48,'Daily Compliance 11-07 to 4-08'!A:A)))}
But it takes sometimes up to 4-5 minutes to make the calculations. Is there possibly a way to simplify it so that it calculates faster, with the same results?
I need to calculate an SLA.
I have 1 column called 'Date/Time Requested' containing the time and the date together, as in:
dd/mm/yy hh:00
I also have a second column called 'Date/Time Completed' containing the date and time in the same format as above.
I need a macro that compares the two and works out the following:
< 48 hours = "Within SLA"
> 48 hours = "Outside SLA"
I have a sheet to calculate Time Elapsed based on StartDT & EndDt taking into consideration the actual working hours in any working day and the function exclude the weekend. I am not a guru in excel but i found this formula in this website .
=IF(AND(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),NOT(ISNA(MATCH(INT(StartDT),HolidayList,0)))),0,ABS(IF(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),ROUND(24*(EndDT-StartDT),2),
(24*(DayEnd-DayStart)*
(MAX(NETWORKDAYS(StartDT+1,EndDT-1,HolidayList),0)+
INT(24*(((EndDT-INT(EndDT))-
(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))+(DayEnd-DayStart))/(24*(DayEnd-DayStart))))+
MOD(ROUND(((24*(EndDT-INT(EndDT)))-24*DayStart)+
(24*DayEnd-(24*(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))),2),
ROUND((24*(DayEnd-DayStart)),2))))))
the formula works perfectly except for the fact that in our part of the world we have "Friday & Saturday" as the weekend days instead of Saturday and Sunday.
is there a way to get this formula or any similar formula to take different weekend days and do exactly what i need?
I have two questions about a spreadsheet where I am trying to calculate how much flexi time has been accured.
So far I have managed to do this: ....
I am trying to calculate the amount of time in blocks, using a pre-determined spread. For example:
AM block is anytime between 0600-1230
PM block is anytime between 1230-1830
Evening block is anytime between 1830-0000 and the Overnight block is anytime between 0000-0600
Sounds easy enough, yeah? Let me paint an example of how I want it to calculate though:
If an employee starts at 0600 and finishes at 1400, then the AM total is 6.5 and the PM total is 1.5.
If an employee starts at 1100 and finishes at 1900, then the AM total is 1.5, the PM is 6 and the Evening is 0.5.
If an employee starts at 2200 and finishes at 0800, then all of the 10 hours must report to the Overnight total, even though some of them fall within the Evening and AM blocks.
I just can't seem to get each block to show the accurate number of hours...and to bring in the rules that I require.
I am trying to write what I believe is a fairly simple set of calculations to determine non-qualified stock option values. Before this digresses into a discussion of the merits of Black-Sholes methodology, I must tell you that this is a "101" type sheet. I'm not an economist.
The deal is that my sister (for whom I'm constructing this worksheet), gets employer stock options which vest at different intervals.
In the past year, she's gotten some options that vest in two, four, and five year increments. I'm using Excel 2002, with the analysis toolpak, and stock pricing add-in from MS.
Have today's date, date of option grant, and can easily compute time (in years) until options are fully vested.
The trick is that options with a 2-year vesting period are 50% excerciseable in one year, 100% in two.
Four-year options are excerciseable 25% per year for 4 years; 5-year are 20% for 5 years, etc.
I'm trying to write a single date-driven formula to take each grant (individually), and divide it by the appropriate divisor (based on the current date), to figure out the current value.
I can't seem to quite figure it out how to write a formula which can handle:
Shares Strike Price Date of Grant Years Until Vested Value
100 26.57 1/4/2003 5
245 45.67 2/6/2001 4
Value should equal =
(if today's price is grater than Strike Price)
(Current Price * (Shares * (% vested which is based on "date of grant" + "years until vested")) )
-
(Strike Price * Shares * (% vested which is based on "date of grant" + "years until vested") )
how the math to make the "% vested multiplier" work...
I have redundant system groups. One group may have (for example) two computers running. Another group may have eight computers running. But within any group only one computer needs to be running for the system to be operational.
I have a row with down start date/time (Column-A) and down end date/time (Column-B) for each downtime event. In then next columns I have the start times and end times for the other computer(s) in the group.
Finally, I have a date column to the right of all others (one row per day). Next to the date column I need to have the value that represents the common time all computers in that group were down.
I don't much care if this is done with a formula or by VBA. I can split the date and time values into separate columns and format the values however needed to facilitate the calculation.

I'm trying to calculate the available man hours I have for my shift/team. I have got the basic formula to deduct the time, and lost time for breaks ok, but when the shift end time crosses midnight the formula returns a "value" error message. i.e. start time = 18:00. End time = 24:00 breaks = 15 mins gives me a formula like this =TEXT(O17-N17-P17,"h:mm") and a result of 5:45
How I can make this formula work so it can calculate the variance even though the shift ends at 02:00am the following morning?
