I receive monthly expenditure returns from different departments which I have to consolidate. The problem I'm encountering is that some departments submit their data as a monthly figure and some as the cumulative position. It would be useful if I had a formula that identified what data type was submitted and from that calculate both the monthly and cumulative figure.
If you look at the attached example I'd like to input a formula in columns I and J that uses the data contained in columns B to E to calculate the monthly and cumulative expenditure figures.
Is there a code that changes any numbers stored as text into regular numbers?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.
is it possible to restrict a cell in such a way that it is impossible to type data into it, but rather select data from a drop down, through validation?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have four columns of numbers that range between 1 through 44 and span 100 rows. Each row shows a unique combination as shown below:
Row 1 - 07 18 11 09
Row 2 - 03 29 08 05
Row 3 - 01 20 11 44
Row 4 - 09 17 14 24
Row 5 - 18 11 20 26
etc...
Can anyone give me some tips on creating a VBA script that will scan a hundred rows of the data shown above and identify for me the rows where number pairs and number triples repeat? For example the data above shows that the pairs "18 , 11" repeat on Row 5 and Row 1. Can EXCEL perform such a task with the right VBA script or forumula? Is a VBA script necessary or will using an ARRAY be the correct way?
I have been easily identifying the bottom quarter of data using =IF(G2="","",IF(RANK(G2,G$2:G$100,1)<=INT( COUNTA(G$2:G$100)/4),"Yes","")) Now I need the top quarter and am not sure how to change the formula.
I have tried changing <= to >= but I then get the top 75% rather than 25%.
I have tried adding +50% and +.5 ... =IF(G2="","",IF(RANK(G2,G$2:G$100,1)<=INT((COUNTA(G$2:G$100)/4+50%)),"Yes",""))
I now need to look through 4524 rows (columns A,B,C) and identify any duplicates based on column A. After all duplicate data has been identified, I would like to delete out all non duplicates. I searched previous posts, but couldn't find anything that worked for me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a formula or function to identify cells that are alpha numeric. The alpha is not necessarily in the same place (i.e. 1st, 4th. etc) in each cell. Some cells are all numeric.
What can I do to identify cells that are alpha numeric?
create a formula for my data. I want to pun binning as per criteria given.
Bin 1: IR < 150 & VR >62
Bin 2: 150<IR<300 & VR >62
Bin 3: IR >300 & 62< VR <30
Bin 4: IR >300 & VR <30
Example data
Data 1 : IR = 80 & VR =68 --> Bin 1
Data 2 : IR = 200 & VR =68 --> Bin 2
Data 3 : IR = 300 & VR =25 --> Bin 4
Data 4 : IR = 350 & VR =45 --> Bin 3
I am using this sheet as an example
[url]
the data contains date/time info in column A and weight data in column B which cycles for when a tank is filled and subsequently emptied (indicated by values below 100)
I am looking for a script that will:-
a. identify these cycles using the column b data and seperate out or return the date/time values for cycle start and end
b. report the max value in column b for each cycle
The max value of b data will allow me to know which product was in the tank. I will then know the date/times for each time a particular product was made. I then want to extract the data from the rest of the columns for the specified dates
I am hoping this sounds lot more complicated than it actually is but I am completely lost when it comes to programming VBS and macros so I desperately need some help.
I have a column of data that comes from simple division formulas, E2/F2. I am wanting to take the Percentages given and quickly recognize the ones in the bottom quarter.
100%
75%
23%
39%
50%
N/A
100%
5%
8 items - the lowest 2 (the bottom quarter) should "stand out" - 5% and 23%
I figured two options:
1.) Conditional Formatting - don't know what the formula would be to use
2.) If statement - preferred method.
I would like in the cell next to the percentages for there to be a blank cell if the amount is not in the bottom 25% and if it is I would like the cell to read "Yes"
I thought something along the lines of =if(G2 in range(G2:G100)is bottom(.25),"Yes","") Of course that is not real code. I'm hoping someone will be able to edit that to make it functional. Or guide me in the right direction.
And you may have noticed the "N/A" in the list above. I would like excel to view this as 100%, at the least just ignore it and don't give me an error.
I paste new data into a sheet of a monthly report I prepare. For this sheet, the # of data rows change (and is unpredictable) every month. I need the value inside a specific cell that dynamcially moves up and down based on the # of rows for that month (because it's below the rows of data).
So I made a formula to identify the exact cell # every month.
Example:
This month the exact cell is F255 in the "Refi" sheet.
So my formula in the "Summary" sheet cell A1 first finds the cell row # only (255) and since it's always column F, in B1 I have
VB:
="F" & (A1)
This outputs "F255" in B1, successfully identifying the target cell.
Now how do I write a formula in C1 to grab the value from whatever cell is named in B1. (For this month, the value in cell F255 from the "Refi" sheet)
(I cannot attach the files as it is all personal information) Basically its list that looks like this:
2014-02-11 John Doe
2014-02-12 John Doe
2014-02-17 John Doe
2014-02-10 Mary Jane
2014-02-11 Mary Jane
2014-02-16 Mary Jane
2014-02-10 Frank Simms
2014-02-11 Frank Simms
2014-02-18 Frank Simms
2014-02-11 Tony Sly
2014-02-12 Tony Sly
2014-02-17 Tony Sly
Im trying to identify anyone who does not have an entry on 2014-02-17. I've played around with combing IF and VLOOKUP and Conditional formatting but I couldn't seem to get it to work. If it were to find a date, no problem, but to find someone without that date I'm having issues. If there was a way to highlight or identify Mary Jane and Frank Simms since they don't have an entry on 2014-02-17, that would be great.
I have a set of data about with approx 7500 cells all contained in one column. The data has a series of peaks that happen, and I need to identify each peak value and place it in a cell. The peak does not occur at regular intervals but they are somewhat regular, as in within 130-230 data points. So, if one could find the first peak in the first 200 cells, identify it and store it somewhere, then look in the next 200, store it, etc. I don't know how to do that in excel.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a range of unlocked cells (B5:S10) that users enter data in. This sum of this data is then charted. The formula (sum) in a cell equals zero even when there is no data entered by the user. This zero is then charted.
I need to be able to plot the zeros if the user enters zeros but not plot the zero if the cells are blank.
What I was attempting to do is to use the worksheet change event to add the formulas to a cell so that the chart does not plot the value until something was added.
In my change event I need to know that a cell in the range (B5:S10) was changed and that if it was D7 (for example) that I need a formula enterd in D11 [=SUM(D5:D10)]. If it was I5 then the formula would have to go in I11 [=SUM(I5:I10)].
I need to identify rows where the contents of a given cell are equivalent to the cell below. I have managed to get this working based on iterating through the cells and selecting them both for cutting.
However it doesn't work effectively: It seems to be leaving blank lines in the original sheet and further fails after the first execution. I would be grateful for any suggestions on a good method to perform the following operations:
(1)to compare the cell with the cell below
I have used
If cell = cell.Offset(1, 0) Then
(2)to act on the rows for the two connected rows
Sub Test4()
' Loop through rows
Dim TheExtract As String
Dim cell As Range
'Application. ScreenUpdating = False
For Each cell In Worksheets("Sheet 1"). _
Range("A1", Worksheets("Sheet 1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
TheExtract = cell
If cell = cell.Offset(1, 0) Then
cell.Rows("1:2").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Cut
Sheets("Test").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(3, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
Next cell
'Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I have an embedded chart on my worksheet.I can select a cell behind the chart using the keyboard arrow keys.Is there a way of doing this using a mouse click,so that I know which cell i am pointing to/choosing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table with numbers, I want to create a result column according to colored scores. How can i do it with a macro?
See attachment for details : score.xls
I'm trying to write a Macro that, in the active sheet (which contains plenty of data), deletes rows according to several criteria, for example:
- if cell(i, ar1(j)) = ERROR, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar1 is an array of column numbers)
- if cell(i, ar3(j)) = 0, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar3 is another array of column numbers)
Etc.

Sub Delete_invalid_rows()
Dim i%, j%
Dim Nr%, valid As Boolean, BYPdata As Boolean
Dim ar1, ar2, ar3, ar4 As Variant

I have data (e.g. PPL0106AU) in columns A (Rows 2 to 104) & C (Rows 2 to 303) and need to identify which entries are in BOTH columns.
I've entered in column B: =IF(MATCH(A2,C$2:C$303),A2,"No")
This formula is resulting in a duplicate of column A in column B.

I am trying to loop through all the worksheets in active workbook. But I want to ignore all those sheets which does not have a single formula containing cell. I mean if the sheet has at least one cell with a formula then the loop should work on that sheet else ignore that sheet.

I am trying to figure out how would be the best way in VBA to identify if a cell is colored green (column C) then in column L I want to say "YES" else nothing.
I have came up with a count so I know how many records to look at but have nothing from there.

Set rng = Range("C9:C100")
For Each cls In rng
If cls.Value "" Then
i = i + 1

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to identify the first cell of a page without using the pagebreak function: Sheet6.Range("B" & Sheet6.HPageBreaks(i).Location.Row). The reason being is for overall speed and performance as well as avoiding <out of range> errors on the last break. If I use totalPages = Sheet6.HPageBreaks.Count + 1
to determine the number of page breaks, is there a way to identify the first cell of page i in this way?
I have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.
How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.
1. Is there a VBA Function equivalent to the FIND() function, If so What is it?
2. Let's say Im Putting a Date into a inputbox, what is the type # for date (Type:=?)??
