ISTEXT Returning False

Nov 12, 2009

I'm trying to apply the istext to a cell that has multiple values eg: [car, boat, truck] so I have setup the cell with the formula

=istext(c147 = "car",1,0)

it returns false constantly. Is that becuase of the other values separated by comma's in that same cell?

Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to go through 300+ cells that have multiple values to separate them?

UDF Always Returning False?

Nov 19, 2009

I am including the entire code. It does a regression analysis on data for a second degree polynomial. In doing so, it creates a worksheet called Regression. So I test first to see if this sheet already exists within the workbook and then ask the user to delete it if it does. I've stepped through the function and the function is always returning False whether Regression exists or not.

Getting Rid Of 0 When Returning False Statement Using IF

Jan 22, 2014

I've created an equation but when it's false it returns a "0" I tried an IFERROR with no luck.

Nested If Statement Returning FALSE Instead Of Value?

Aug 5, 2014

The formula I am having issues with is:

=IF(L14="YES",IF(B14="","",NETWORKDAYS(B14,IF(AH14="",TODAY(),AH14),IF(L14="NO",NETWORKDAYS(B14,IF(V14="",TODAY(),V14))))))

I'm looking for formula to return a value based on the amount of networkdays between 2 dates.

Column L has a drop down for
"YES" and "NO"

If "YES" is selected then I need the formula to subtract AH from B (if B is blank I don't want the formula to return anything)

if AH has no date then I want it to use todays date.

If "NO" is selected then I need the formula to subtract V from B (again, if B is blank I don't want the formula to return anything)

if V has no date then I want it to use todays date.

The formula seems to work for everything as it is EXCEPT when L is "NO" it only return FALSE.

Stop IF Function Returning FALSE

Oct 12, 2007

I have two columns A & B. If I enter "Short" into Col A, I want "Long" to automatically appear in Col B, and vice versa. This is the code I have created so far. =IF(C4="Short","Long",IF(C4="Long","Short",IF(C4="",""))). This works but when I paste the formula into all cells in Col B, I get "FALSE" showing up in every cell. How can I stop the "FALSE" from populating every cell in Col B while Col A remains blank?

If Statements: Non-numerical Characters Returning False When True

Jun 24, 2009

I have a formula in column A of the following sheet. The problem is that when the entry in cell H contains a letter as well as a number then the formula in column a returns 0.

Also if the value for false in the forumula is changed from 0 i.e to 1 or 2, then a value is returned in column A (this is shown in the red highlighted cells).

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

ISTEXT In Array SUM

Jul 31, 2009

I have a workbook with worksheets named by peoples names. There are cells in my summary sheet that contain all the names of the worksheets (or peoples names).

Each worksheet has a table in it that I am trying to search one column to find a specific name and then report if there is text in another column in the same row. If I use the following formula:

=IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!f10"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!h10"))))=TRUE,1,0)

It works and I'll return a "1" for cells in column F that have text and a "0" for columns that don't.

However, I am trying to sum up the cells in F that have text and when I enter:

{=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!F10:F200"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!H10:H200")))),1,0))}

it returns "1" when that should not be the answer. Am I doing something with the array in my INDIRECT formula? I used this similar application for another purpose in this workbook and refereced the array through INDIRECT the same way (but didn't use MATCH or INDEX) and it worked fine. This was the formula:

{=IF(SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0))>0,SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0)),"-")}

I am summing 3 cells, A3, A4 & A5. Cells A4 and A5 may contain text. I want to write a formula using the IF(ISTEXT funciton which says something like this:

Sum(A3:A5), if cell A4 and A5 contain text then sum just A3. If only cell A5 contains text then sum just A3:A4.

Im not sure exaclty how to construct this.

Can ISTEXT Search A Range

Jul 5, 2007

I'm currently designing a new spreadsheet and I can't change the formula I'm using below to search more than one cell or a range. Is either choices a option?

I'm using =IF(ISTEXT(E135),G135) Can I add cell E139 (and how many additional cells could be added) or can I set it up to search E135:E144.

Multiple IF And ISTEXT Within Same Formula

Jun 23, 2014

I have a rota sheet whereby shifts are written in as start time, finish time, and then a calculation for the hours.

At the bottom I have another SUM formula to calculate total daily hours.

However, within the total personal hours I have a VLOOKUP formula to check if the start time cell has a holiday text reference.

Please see below:

Take the "Sergei" example: he starts at 9am, finishes at 8pm, and the formula automatically calculates an 11 hour working day.

However, in the "Tom" example, the "TH" refers to another sheet which houses a reference of the amount of hours to place in the total hours box if those letters appear, thus imputing holiday hours at the same time.

"=IF(ISTEXT(F24),VLOOKUP(F24,'Hol-Meet Hours'!$F$7:$G$27,2,0),(G24-F24)*24-IF((G24-F24)*24>6,0,0))"

What I am struggling with is to use an IF and ISTEXT formula in the "Daily Hours" formula to ignore any holiday inputs, thus only giving me trading hours.

The only way I could think of doing it was something along these lines:

"IF(ISTEXT(F16),SUM(F17:F31),SUM(F16:F31)...et al"

The issue here is that I need to repeat the formula for every staff member within the same cell's formula, which I don't know how to do (multiple functions within a formula repeated 20 times), and is a right drag.

Isnumber Or Istext Formula

Feb 21, 2010

I've been trying to use excel's Isnumber or Istext function to evaluate a range of cells, but have been unsuccesful so far. Is it even possible? or is the formula just restricted to evaluating only single cells?

For example, if I do, Isnumber(A1:A10), is there any way to make that work?

Excel 2007 :: Validation With ISTEXT Not Working When Number In Cell?

Dec 3, 2012

I'm trying to validate a cell in Excel 2007 that should contain only two letters.

Formula:
Code:
=IF(AND(LEN(A1)=2,ISTEXT(A1)),TRUE,FALSE)
When the value of A1 is JK, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 12, the result is FALSE

When the value of A1 is 3K, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is K3, the result is TRUE

When the value of A1 is 123, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is JKL, the result is FALSE

When the value of A1 is 3, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is K, the result is FALSE

The LEN function works as expected, but the ISTEXT function does not, whenever the cell contains a number and a letter. I've tested the LEN and ISTEXT functions separately, and get the same results.

Is it me, or is it Excel?

If False Statement

Jun 18, 2007

I have the following cells set up in a worksheet.
I have the following formula set for each of the cells -

=IF(U5>1,U5-1,T5)

=IF(T5>1,T5-1,S5)

=IF(S5>1,S5-1,R5) and so on.

Serial No.1 Serial No.2 Serial No.3 Serial No.4 Serial No.5 Serial No.6

#VALUE!#VALUE! #VALUE! #VALUE! 1005 1006



The T5, S5 and R5 are (I thought) the "False" value which would be returned, but all I am getting (if for example T5 was blank) is #Value

Set Togglebutton To False Every Day At 6am?

Nov 16, 2011

The user has a workbook that opens external workbooks, one being a Guard CheckSheet which the operators have to fill out every morning shift.

What currently happens is when they fill out their checks it close the workbook and sets a togglebutton back in the main workbook to true (puts a tick in the box).

This part works fine, but i need the box to clear (set to false) every day at 6am.

I have timers setup that work if i run through the code, but when i check the next day, the tick is still in the box.

Im not sure if its because the workbook is inactive for so long because the operators mainly have their timesheet workbook open for the majority of their shift?

Im currently playing around with having it clear based on the time of day when then Window_Activates or DeActivates, but that relys on them actually changing windows at that exact time or within a certain time frame.

Getting A FALSE When Switch Between Two Examples?

Apr 11, 2014

The setup here is I have multiple codes for a product. Coding structure is as follows (options are contained in parantheses):

N -(T,P) - (5L,6,7,8) - (DFL,DJL,DBL,UEDF) - P - (1,6,9,16,19,1H,1H9) - (g,s,blank) - (a,blank)

Clearly, there are a ton of options. What I'm doing is screening those codes and breaking them down into their component parts.

ex) NT6UEDFP1a: N - T - 6 - UEDF - P - 1 - a
ex) NT6DFLP16: N - T - 6 - DFL - P - 16

I'm trying to do multiple if/then scenarios for each option. However, the way I have it now, I'm getting a FALSE when I switch between these two examples (the dfl works, the uedfp generates false). (there are other codes which is why the first line is there. I'm just having trouble with this particular "nt/np" group)

=IF(OR(LEFT($A$14,2)="np",LEFT($A$14,2)="nt"),

IF(OR(MID($A$14,4,3)="dfl",MID($A$14,4,3)="dbl",MID($A$14,4,3)="djl"),[code].....
