Determine Math Signs/Operators In Cells Before Calculation

Apr 1, 2008

I have Three different combinations which are in cell A & B, These combinations are with similar signs as in A1=2- & B1 = 2- (& A1 = 2+, B1=2+). Then I have numbers with no signs which A1 =2 B1= 2. My approach is to limit to these and these combinations only and use a formula which is uniformally applied on these combination. I want A1 and B1 to take only like signs like -- or ++ or without any sign. The rest shd be ignored. IS there a way of sorting two columns which have different combinations liek -- or ++ or -+ into a area where u can apply a particular formula? Hence first i take a number and move signs on the left and then apply this

IF A7 = 2- . B7 = 3- THEN

IF(OR(RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)="-",RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)=" ",RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)="+"),LEFT(TRIM(B7),LEN(TRIM(B7))-1)*3,B7*3)

VBA AND Logical Operators

Mar 7, 2009

I'm trying to meet set criteria in b5 using AND the first works if both conditions are met in two cells but bur won't on one cell?

Private Sub PTIColours_Click()
If Range("b5") > 0 And Range("c5") < 0.149 Then
Range("a5").Interior.ColorIndex = 54
End If
End Sub

But this dosen't

Private Sub PTIColours_Click()
If Range("b5") > 0 And Range("b5") < 0.149 Then
Range("a5").Interior.ColorIndex = 54
End If
End Sub

I have tried searching for a good example of how to use logical operators on Mr Excel however the search is frustrated by "Small Words" in the search field ie IF, AND, NOT ,OR are too short to search.

Compare Variants With Operators

Dec 5, 2006

If UCase(TextBox1.Value & "," & TextBox6.Value) < UCase(currsheetname)

This works most of the time, but for something like:

Smith,Bob < Smith,Jim it will give erratic results. currsheetname is not declared so is a variant I guess.

Change Operators Based On Cell

Jun 26, 2006

I am trying to alter the type of operator used in one formula based on the result of an argument in a separate cell generally as follows: If Cell 1 equals something then use the ">" operator, otherwise use the "=" operator. I appreciate this sounds really simple and I'm having a major brain fade as I cannot figure out how to relate the two arguments as follows: [If(Value 1 "Operator" Value2, then do something, otherwise do something else)] where the operator is pre-defined in another formula.

Move Data Based On Boolean Operators

Mar 26, 2008

I'm trying to figure out how to reorganize data based on boolean values in two different columns. My goal is to write something in VBA that will look to see if the boolean in the first cloumn is true then procede to check if the boolean in the next column, same row is true. If that is the case, it will take several values from the row and move them to another worksheet. If the boolean in the first column is true, but the second column is not, it will look down the rows of the second column until it finds true then move several values from rows it has passed through. Here is an example of the sample data I will be dealing with.

Date Time Duration Boolean1 Boolean2
6/22/200715:0032TRUETRUE
6/22/200718:0058TRUEFALSE
6/22/200719:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200720:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200721:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200722:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200723:001 FALSETRUE

Based on the example data my goal is to move the data in a new worksheet that would look something like this

Date Start End Duration
6/22/2007 15:28 16:00 32
6/22/2007 18:02 23:01 299

Docking Math

Jun 3, 2009

i am trying to make an excel sheet that does calculations to help drydock a submarine....

docking math is used and it works as follows:

6-11-7
6-11-7+
6-11-7++

6 is feet
11 is inches
7 is 1/8ths
+'s are 1/16ths

so i want to be able to have a list of set measurements like above and then have one set measurement be subtracted from the list. like

12-4-6+
13-5-4
14-2-4

and have 6-2-5+ be subtracted from all of the above and be displayed on a second page. I have slammed my head against the wall for about 3 days now and i am a excel newbie. so if i messed up somewhere or anyone could help i would greatly be appreciate it.

Math Using (J, I) Referencing

Aug 20, 2007

I am trying to create a macro that will do some basic math using J, I as referencing.

Sub Table()

Dim Temp
J = 2
I = 1

For Temp = 1 To Question
Cells(J + 35, I).Formula = (Cells(J, I + 2) + Cells(J, I + 2) * Cells(J, I + 3) - Cells(J, I + 4))
J = J + 1
Next
End Sub

how do I get the math to work without the R1C1 referencing?

Math Averaging

Jul 7, 2006

Trying to compute annual change I've always used the formula "(b1-a1)/a1" - where b1 is the current year, a1 is the prior year. I've been asked to compute average annual change over a number of years and thought simply by using the above for each year and then taking the average of all these, I'd be ok. I recently found a formula as follows: "(y2/y1)^(1/n)-1", where y2 is current year, y1 is 1st year I have data, n = the number of changes.

Conditional Math Using AND, Average

Jan 15, 2006

How do I correct to make conditonal formula with number values ?

My main worksheet has at leat 24 columns and as many as 30 rows, all have
numbered values. Rows are defined names.

I want to get average values when at least 2 conditions have certain values.

I tried =SUM(IF(AND(MapKpa:MapKpa=40),(RPM:RPM=1000),grmcyc:grmcyc))
and answer given is really total of all 30,000 row values for grmcyc and not
when mapkpa values = 40 and RPM = 1000.

Also best would be if the conditions allow lets say when Mapkpa is between
40 and 45 and RPMs between 1000 and 1500 to have a window of grmcyc average

I used Sum but really want an average of grmcyc when Mapkpa and RPM meet the
conditions so I can build a results table of what the grmcyc average value
was from 20 to 105 KPA in 5 KPA windows along with smaller RPM ranges.

Unwanted Rounding In Math

Jun 24, 2006

I have a spreadsheet acting as a check register. In looking through the over 2300 entries, I am getting "odd" rounding issues. I have attached a small piece of the worksheet to demonstrate this quirkiness. As you can see, I am adding numbers out to two decimal places (which should result in two decimal place answers). The result for 11/11/2002 has become a more complex number. And, the result for 11/14/2002 goes back to two decimal places.

I have upgraded my office suite since 2002. Could that be an issue? I prefer not to have to "force" the rounding =round(result,2) to solve the problem.

Logarithmic Math Functions

Jul 21, 2006

I have a user that wants me to calculate a value for x. The user will input the variables a and b into this equation: b/a = .0231x * EXP(.0439*x). The user insists that the solution to this problem must be arrived iteratively, honing in on the correct answer. Is that right? It looks to me that surely there is a way to solve this mathematically.

Answering Math Formulas In Different Cell

May 5, 2012

Let's say in cell A1 I have something like "10-25" or "4+4". I want to keep A1 just like that, but I would like to solve the arithmetic in A1, in cell B1. So B1 would need a formula that gives the answer "-15" or "8". How can I do this with large data sets?

Macro To Perform Math Computation

Dec 16, 2006

I am looking for the easiest way for my worksheet to perform the following:

My 1st sheet (Sheet1) has columns A-C
In Column "A" there is a Cust # call it "P200"
In column "B" I have an invoice amount of $500.00
In column "C" -In this case, I need this field to calculate 15% of the amount in column "B"....and return the result of $75.00 (however, this 15% figure will vary based on data looked up in (Sheet2)

ie... in (Sheet2)

Column "A" will list all cust #'s that my company has - A1=P100, A2=P105, A3=P125, A4=P127, A5=P200 etc....

Column "B" has each respective discount amount for that customer by %... B1=10%, B2=10%, B3=12%, B4=20%, B5=15%

So the macro I need for (Sheet1- column C) will need to search "Sheet2" column "A" to find the "P200" out of the long list and then take the corresponding % amount in column "B" (in this case it's 15%) and use this figure in (Sheet 1) to perform the calc.

Math Algorithm To Solve Puzzles

May 30, 2006

Given a list of numbers and a list of 'allowable' operators, come up with a specific total. ("The numbers game" on countdown on BBC2.... ooooh Carol Voderman)
For example, given the numbers 1, 3, 4 and 5 with valid operators +, -, /, * come up with a solution equal to 15. All numbers must be used once only. Use operators as often as required. The specific example above was given to me and I personally think its not solvable (might be a practical joke). But I am wondering is it possible to prove this through assertions or develop an algorithm to solve such puzzles. I can get 14 and 16, but not 15....

Math Worksheet For Kids/Children

Apr 12, 2008

attempting to utilize the powers of Excel to generate a math worksheet for my children. I have no experience with macros and I have only used the basic functions and formulae.

Basically I need assistance in designing a worksheet where I can input the number of problems I want displayed, the type of problems (add or minus), and the number ranges for the values. With a subtraction problem, I want the formula to make certain the top number is not lower than the bottom number. Also, I would prefer that the worksheet maker does not generate duplicate problems. Once generated, I have the option to print the results for the kids to take with them or sit on the computer and enter the values - whereby Excel will instantly turn color the answer cell green for a correct answer, and red for an incorrect answer.

Presenting The Math Calculation Instead Of Cell References

Jul 24, 2009

Assume A1=25 and A2 = 35.
I typed, in cell A3: =A1+A2 which returns: 60.

Is there a way to present, in a single cell, instead of the formula references - something like: =25+35 as TEXT ?

(Any change in A1 and/or A2 will be reflected in the presentation of those two values

I checked some add-ins functions, like "MoreFunc" etc, and INDIRECT - but no results.

Basic Math Sheet - Values Not Multiplying?

Jun 3, 2014

I am trying to put together a basic sheet with what I think is basic math, however, the multiplication does not seem to be working properly.

Field 1 is land value, field 2 is total acres. The math I have in field 3 is to give me a value per acre. Here is that formula: =Sum(B3/C3)
I have set the field to a number field with two decimal places.

Field 4 is Total Dry Acres field 4 is calculated to give total value for dry acres (here is where I am having problems) Here is the formula: =Sum(D3*E3)

Here are the numbers: Field 1 = 218702 Field 2: 1536.51 Field 3 (calculated): 142.34 Field 4: 1171.75 Field 5: 166791.54

It all looks good on the spreadsheet, however the field 5 number is not correct.

Break it out on a calculator: 218702 / 1536.51 = 142.34 (rounded)
Now 142.34 * 1171.81 = 166795.44

so working on the calculator, there is a difference of 3.69 between the two.

Excel 2003 :: Labeling Horizontal Axis Of XYScatter Chart With Math Division Inverse

Jan 16, 2013

We make many graphs using XYscatter charts with lots of data points using Excel 2003 with the horizontal scale properly scaled as frequency. I have been asked to label that axis in some way as period (=1/frequency) without changing the scaling for the data plot. Is there a suitable way to do this? It would be OK to just change the axis numbers to 1/frequency computed from them automatically. Is Excel 2010 any easier for this?
