How To Find Least Inputs For Specific Amount Of Outputs

Feb 14, 2014

How can excel find the least amount of inputs needed to produce a specified amount of outputs? To boil it down to the basics:

Need=
100 units of x
200 units of y

From a combination of=

item A that yields 25 units of x and 5 units of y

item B that yields 10 units of x and 15 units of y

Objective = minimize the number of items A & B used (i.e. minimum of (item A)*(item B))

Search With Multiple Inputs/Outputs

Jun 2, 2008

I am looking to create an excel search with two input and three output values on Sheet 1 that will link to a table on Sheet 2. To help illustrate:

Sheet 1:

The two white cells indicate the two input values, and the three blue cells indicate the three desired output values.

Sheet 2:

I want to enter the two input values (Length and Width), press the "Search" button, and have the corresponding output values (DWG#, Item #, and Tooling #) from Sheet 2 appear in the three output cells on Sheet 1.

If Macro Picking Up 5 Inputs Changing To 3 Outputs

Sep 11, 2012

I'm trying to take 5 inputs that are all in text format and inputs have fixed options what i need is a macro that will take them and turn them in to the relevant outputs. there is a select amount of combinations and i've been asked to do each combination as a separate macro or sub macro.

What I have so far is;

If C6 = "Panel plate" And D6 = "24 by 21" And E6 = "<1.59" And F6 = "N/A " Then I6 = "120" And j6 = "4" And L6 = "120"
End Sub

A B C D E F G H I J K L
1
2
4
5
6 Panel plate 24 by 21 <1.59 N/A
7
8
9
10

(Doesn't seem to work)...

If those four cell match up then i need I6-L6 to line up with whats required.
If they don't equal that i need it to stay clear.

I also need to add the same macro with different options.

Nested Logic To Get 6 Outputs From 3x2 Matrix Of Inputs

Feb 12, 2009

I'm having a mental block with what should be some reasonably simple nested logic. Basically I've got 3 possible inputs in one field and 2 in another, and want to get 6 possible results out the other end. The sheet attached shows what i'm putting in (columns A and B) and what i'd like to get out the other end (C). The formula i need in column C is a bunch of AND's that i somehow keep getting wrong

Function That Inputs A Certain Number Of A Specific Character

Mar 23, 2009

I need to make a list of Part Numbers in quotation marks. If a number of digits of a P/N is less than 13 a number of space characters has to be added to make the string 13 characters long.

We have example P/N:
1234567890123
12345678
123456

should become:
"1234567890123(no extra space characters should be filled-13chars)"
"12345678(5 extra space characters here)"
"123456(7 extra space characters)"

Is there a function that inputs a cerain number of a specific character ("space" in this example)?

Create Find Box Into Which Search String Inputs

Nov 9, 2011

I need the code to create a find box into which a search string is input. The code should find the string at a particular cell, then copies this cell and four cells to the right to a location in sheet 2 of the same workbook

The code runs but comes back with a runtime 424 error. I believe the issue is being caused by "nextCell" but I cant see why.

Sub FindStrings()
Dim firstCell, nextCell, stringToFind As String
' Show an input box and return the entry to a variable.
stringToFind = _
Application.InputBox("Enter J Number and Stage Number. For Example J1234 ST1", "Search String")
' Set an object variable to evaluate the Find command.

How To Change Reference Cells Specific Amount When Dragging

Aug 14, 2014

So I'm dragging my formula down one cell and as expected the reference cell changes the same amount when I really want the reference to shift Down that column 11 cell so when I take my formula

=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L5:L11)),"",(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L5:L11)))

when I drag it down one cell the reference should look like this

=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L16:L22)),"",(LOOKUP(21474836472147483647,'Revenue Book'!L16:L22)))

Find Small Amount Of Data Amongst Lot Of Empty Cells?

Jul 1, 2013

One of my datasheets by necessity ends up as about 25,000 rows long, but only about 40 of those rows have data in. The rest of the rows are empty.

If a row has data in, there will be data in every column on that row, for example if row 2 was not empty, there would be data in A, B, C . . . and all the way to the last column without missing cells along the row.

I need to copy those 40 rows without blank rows in between. At the moment, I have a macro that deletes blank rows, but it takes hours to run.

This is the code that's being used at the moment:

Sub DeleteBlankARows()
Dim r As Long
For r = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
If Cells(r, 1) = "" Then Rows(r).Delete
Next r
End Sub

I have been trying Vlookups, indexing and matching plus combination formulas - with no luck. How to get the information I need with a moving cell reference?

I can provide a small copy of a workbook, if needed.

Reference Cell & Add Amount If Positive & Subtract Amount If Negative

Jun 5, 2008

Im trying to set up an active running inventory sheet where: (A)the progressive daily sheet cells reference back to the corresponding master sheet cells fluctuating the master values, (B) the same progressive daily sheet cells reference back to a cummulative totals-cell based on whether I added or subtracted inventory. I want to make a copy of the blank "sheet 2" with all of the formulas and move it to the end of the workbook each day and enter new values which will reference back to the master sheet so that I can click on a date sheet and see an individual day's values or click on the master sheet to see the fluctuating inventory on-hand and the cummulative +/- totals of all days combined. I've got a couple hundred individual cells to reference. I've tried and tried but I can't make it work. Heres what I need to do:

I need to reference individual cells from "sheet 2,3,etc" back to a corresponding cell in a master sheet. But I need the values in each cell in "sheet 2,3,ETC" to increase or decrease the corresponding cell values in the master sheet. For example: If the value in the master sheet B5 is 200. Then in sheet 2, I enter +50 in B5, I need the master sheet cell B5 to increase by 50 to 250. I also need a way to decrease the cell value in the master sheet B5 if I enter a negative value -50 in sheet 2 B5. I also want to know if I can reference the same cell values entered in "sheet 2,3,etc cell B5" back to totals columns C5 for adding inventory or D5 for subtracting inventory in the master sheet where the master totals columns would reflect cummulative totals added or subtracted. For example: if the value in sheet 2 B5 is +50, then the value in Master sheet C5 would add 50 to a progressive total. But if the value in sheet 2 B5 is -50 then the value in master sheet D5 would add -50 to a progressive total.

Macro For Base Amount And Net Amount Calculation

Nov 20, 2012

For the below macro.

ABCDG
CodeTotalBaseNetA1 = 20%
A110083.3316.67A2 = 10%
A2350318.1831.82A3 = 7%
A3220205.6114.39A0 = 20%
A015015030

A1 is the code, take the total(B) and calculate the base(C) on the percentage given in the G, net = B-C. for A2 and A3 it is the same process.

For A0 the total (B) is equal to Base(C) and calculate the net on the given percentage in G.

Recognize Value And Generate Outputs

Jul 5, 2009

The issue: Theres about 300 rows of data arranged in multiple columns. One column has a dollar amount and another column has a code. Data gets entered into the sheet periodically so every new dollar amount needs to be transferred to another sheet by recognizing the right code.

What I want to do: I want excel to recognize the dollar amount and attribute it to the code in the same row. Then sum and transfer that amount to another sheet and if possible add it to an existing amount the in the correct cell.

The final outcome should be that any user of the document can just copy and paste data into one sheet and the document automatically generates the costs in another sheet. And if possible every dollar amount should be linked to a code so a user can just click on the amount and see where it came from and under what code it falls under.

My question is: how do I consolidate that in one column, so that, "A" for example, reads ABFCBACFBFBECEABCEABCEAFBCEFBCAFEBCFAEBFC...? I'm using the random number generator for the 6 columns...thx

Multiple Outputs For Single Lookup Value

Feb 4, 2014

On one of the reports which i am doing to identify the series of values for a single input data. In the attached spreadsheet there are 2 tables, table 1 has complete data with column a is the lookup value and column b is output value

I have to fill the table 2 in the same manner as shown in the attached template. there could be many different for a single lookup value but i am targeting to look for the 1st 9 matches and last matched value. eg. if i am looking for the value 9 which has 15 different values i want to display the 1st 9 matches (p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x and ad - being the 15th match)

Not sure whether this could be possible by using formulas?

Sumif; Find The Amount Spent Based A A "tag"

Dec 27, 2009

I have a spreadsheet(see attached) that I am needing to find the amount spent based a a "tag" I have created. If you bring up the spreadsheet and look at the dashboard sheet, I am wanting to find the total tag amount based off what is listed in the paychesk sheet. For tests I have used this formula and have put it in B6 on the dashboard sheet.

=SUMIF('PayCheck - DEC-09-B'!$F$2:$F$1000,A20,'PayCheck - DEC-09-B'!F$2:$G$1000)

But the "bank amount" field on the paycheck sheet is a negative number the value of course coming back is not right. How do I fix this?

Multiselect Listbox Output And Other Userform Outputs

Nov 2, 2012

I have a userform with 5 data fields. The first two are listboxes and the last 3 are textboxes. I have recently added the multiselect option to ONLY THE FIRST listbox (MeetingSpaceBox). I can get the multiselect listbox to output correctly. The problem is, though, that the rest of the data will only fill in the first row and will not be added to any of the subsequent rows. The data from the other 4 fields should remain constant for each selection in the first ListBox or at least until either "ok" or "clear" have been selected on the UserForm.

Do I assign all those valuables to variables and fill them in after the Multiselect listbox data has been added? I assume this will mean a change (or deletion) of the emptyRow code.

See my code below

VB:
Private Sub CalcButton_Click()
If AllDataEntered Then
'define empty row
emptyRow1 = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) + 1

However, as volumes vary by each month, the number od workers required should also be reflective of changing in volumes worked upon.

Collect Model Outputs Into Summary Table?

I have a model where you can toggle 3 different inputs across two variables. The final output number of the model will vary accordingly.

I would like to create a 3X3 table with the final output for each combination of variables. Is there a way of doing this using formulas or would I need a macro?

Macro That Filters Data Then Outputs It Into Another Worksheet

I am working on a complicated macro. The macro is suppose to move certain data set to a specific worksheet if an if statement is "True."

As of now the macro, inserts the row into a new sheet but it is inserted into Row 1. My data set is in Sheet A is up to Column U and I want it to be inserted in Column B on Sheet B. The code below inserts the entire row into Sheet B starting with column a.

[Code] ........

This variation of the code moves the entire data set from Sheet A to Sheet B and inserts it in Column B as wanted, but it does NOT follow the Criteria of "true", it brings the entire data set even those with "False".

Align 2 Tables, Match Two Outputs From A Database

Dec 21, 2007

My goal is to match two outputs from a database so that the same person's record can be found on one row. At present output 2 does not marry up to output 1 due to staff leaving and new appointments being made. The data in output 1 should remain static. The data in output 2 must be manipulated to match the order of output 1.

Output 1 is a 5 column record containing (in A6:E6)

Forename, Surname, Branch, Roll Number, and a % score

Output 2 is again a 5 column record containing (in G6:K6)

Forename, Surname, Branch, Roll Number, and a % score

Each employee can be identified by a unique Roll Number Code contained in the fourth column of each record.
If an ideal match has been found I'd like the letter Y to be inserted in the L column of each record to signify a positive comparison. All non matches should have the letter N in the L column & these non matches should be placed at the bottom of the dataset.
