Isblank Function Erroneous Results
Sep 1, 2009
Using data of unknown origin in Excel I found Isblank was giving a FALSE result on some apparently blank cells while giving a TRUE result on others.
Even if I used TRIM and CLEAN functions on the offending data and pasted the resulting values back the the original locations, the Isblank result was still FALSE. Also, the font colour was not set to white or transparent.
However, if I selected the cell with the 'invisible' data, clicked in the Formula Bar and pressed Enter without entering any new data, the problem disappeared for that cell. The problem also disappeared if I selected the problem 'blank' cell and pressed delete.
Can anyone explain this 'invisible data' and tell me how I can detect it using a function or formula?

I am currently using the function:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(C8), ISBLANK (D8), ISBLANK (E8), ISBLANK (F8), ISBLANK (G8), ISBLANK (H8), ISBLANK (I8), ISBLANK (J8), ISBLANK (K8), ISBLANK (L8), ISBLANK (M8), ISBLANK (N8), ISBLANK (O8), ISBLANK (P8), ISBLANK (Q8), ISBLANK (R8)), "", IF(SUM(C8:R8)=0,"Yes", "No"))
and it is returning a #value error sign.
I want it to check if C8:R8 is blank, and if so, put nothing. But if not, use the formula: IF(SUM(C8:R8)=0,"Yes", "No"))

I am making some conditional formats for a document. One that I am trying to achieve is have a group of cells have a background color, but once the data has been added, the color go away.
This is what my conditional format looks like: =ISBLANK($A$1:$H$22) and chose the Green fill background. So, my understanding is, the cells should have a green background if they are blank, but go back to a standard format, once cells have data put in them.

I currently have a monitoring spreadsheet which my staff enter data into each month. There have been some problems with staff entering data wrong so I have decided to build a userform to prevent errors. I have 2 combo boxes one for selecting a month of the year and another for a particular call the user must enter data for. I want the userform to enter the data from the userform into specific cells in a specific area. e.g. If a member of staff entered data into the userform for February, Call 2 then it would appear in the relevant boxes.

I'm using the following phrase out of a much longer expression to
demonstrate that the return value of the MID function seems to be nothing I
can understand.
This expression:
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1))
returns 6/10 as text which makes sense. However I was under the impression
that when text in Excel contains numeric characters, it can be interpreted
as a number. So then how does the following expression,
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1)*1
return the result 38878? Does it still think it's text?

I am having trouble with some formulas displaying the results of the logical test as words.. For example.
=IF(E4>F4,100, IF(F4>E4, 200))
That works perfectly but I want "100" to be "Valid" and "200" to be "Invalid"
However...
=IF(E4>F4,Valid, IF(F4>E4, Invalid))
only results in the #NAME? error for me?

I am trying to sum the details from sheet2 in sheet3. I am currently using a plain formula to sum-up the values. However, create a indirect and vlookup function to sum the values.
In sheet3, I have to sum the values from sheet2 based on the contacts. Sheet1, sheet2 and Sheet3 are connected and any update(insert,delete.. etc) will be made in sheet 1 only. Sheet2 automatically updates based on sheet1. Similarly, Sheet3 should also update based on sheet1 and sum the values based on contacts from sheet2.
I have added the formula which I am currently using in the sheet.

I have a macro that loops through a column of cells to retrieve a price that is buried in a string. The cells in this column are formatted one of two ways. Either they are completely empty, or the following pattern of string is entered: "$181.27 ea. for 12 on 5/21/14" (the quotes are not part of the string entered). What I need my macro to do is pull out "$181.27" and then drop the dollar sign and then do some more math before inputting a result in a different cell, but the prices range from less than a dollar to over $100,000 so I need to use split instead of left. Should be simple, yes? Here is what I have:
[Code] ......
But I get an error 9: subscript out of range on the line that calculates PriceSplit whenever it encounters a blank cell.

I'm trying to have three different possible results from one formula based on one cell.
If A1 is greater than 10 I want B1 show 5, AND if A1 is less than -10 I want B1 to show -5, AND if A1 is between 9 and -9 I want B1 to show the value of A1/2.
I've never used logic functions in excel before.

how to put together a function that will provide for me 1 of 3 results, (0, 1 or 2). Example Attached.
What I would like to do is have a function to have the results for the "Pts" (D) Column be either 0, 1 or 2 based on the following.
PM (D)<1.84 (F:10) = 2
PM (D)<2.25 (E:10), >1.84 (F:10) = 1

The attached workbook contains a cell with validation list selection and a look up function. The validation list selection works fine, but the look up function is coming up with the wrong results on several items. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm working on an invoice generator, and I want to add a "lookup by phone number" feature. I've got an invoice database with invoice info stored horizontally for past invoices. On a separate sheet, I want to be able to type in the phone number in range ("O11:Q11") and have a list of invoice numbers and dates matching that phone number appear in Columns R and S respectively.
Here is some workbook info:
Invoice generator is in 'phonelookup'
Invoice database is in 'invoice database' and the table is called CompInvoices
In CompInvoices, Invoice numbers are col1, dates are col2, and phone numbers are col7.

Basically someone has coded a VBA script to pull a users details from AD when a button is clicked, using the staff id as the search criteria.
I've amended the criteria so it uses Environ$(USERNAME) to find details of the current logged on user, but i am struggling to get the resulting information out of the Sub to be used in other Subs! It currently just fills a cell with the required info.

Data: four variables A,B,C and D from A2:D6000
I want a count of unique D values
when A=xxx
and B=yyy
and C=zzz
I have named the A,B,C,D ranges as RangeA, RangeB, RangeC, RangeD
I have used the function
=SUM((RangeA="xxx")*
(RangeB="yyy")*
(RangeC="zzz")*
But what do I use to count-unique values of variable D ?
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(RangeD,RangeD)>0,1)) doesn't work.
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(RangeD,RangeD&"")) doesn't work either
They don't work because D can occur during different combinations of A,B and C. In other words, the D value of 'Smith' can, and does, occur when A is 1,2 or 3 and additionally when B is Pass, Fail, Withdrawn.
They "don't work" because I can use filters on A, B, C and D to see what the correct answer should be .. and the function doesn't return the correct answer.
I hope I've explained this ok - I've been searching on several excel-help websites for 2 days now and one of the days my client is going to want some results.

I'm using a formula (with the SUMPRODUCT function) within which I need to match the month & year from an array with 3 "true" possibilities...
Meaning that if data (month & year) from the array matches any of the 3 months & year of a specific quarter (for example July 08, August 08, September 08), the result of that section should be "True".
The data to be matched (any of the 3 months of each quarter) is drawn from a table header (showing every month of the year) by using this "monthly" formula:
TEXT(H7;"mm.yyyy") where H7 holds "01.07.2008" (but displays "Jul. 08") and returns "07.2008".
I'm trying to extend it to something like:
TEXT({H$7;I$7;J$7};"mm.yyyy") to match either July 2008 (H7), August 2008 (I7) or September 2008 (J7) for the 3rd quarter of 2008 but when I hit Enter, I get an error and H$7 is highlighted ("ctrl + shift + enter" doesn't help).
Here's an excerpt of the formula that works well for other queries on my worksheet:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT('Current update analysis'!$O$2:OFFSET('Current update analysis'!$O$2;(COUNTA('Current update analysis'!$B:$B)+20);"mm.yyyy")=TEXT({H$7;I$7;J$7};"mm.yyyy")); --('Current update analysis'!$k$2:OFFSET('Current update analysis'!$k$2;(COUNTA('Current update analysis'!$B:$B)+20)="ok"))
how I could/should structure the formula for it to work?

I'm trying to figure out how to conditionally format one cell depending on two separate cells being not blank.
so for one cell it would be:
IF(NOT(ISBLANK($C$5)))
I think I need to add an OR in there somewhere to make it also depend on C6 but I just can't figure it out...

In an excel sheet, I am using a macro to filter. Macro code is as follows. When I run this macro, it returns 4 rows matching the criteria from 560 rows in the excel sheet.
VB:
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$I$566").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _
">=11/11/2012 22:13", Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=11/12/2012 6:47"
I want to use the same criteria in the vb.net code, to do same thru vb.net. But, when I run the same code in vb.net, it just returns only 1 row (1st row only).
VB:
[FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]xlsRange1.AutoFilter(Field:=1, Criteria1:=">=11/11/2012 22:13", Operator:=Excel.XlAutoFilterOperator.xlAnd, Criteria1:="<=11/12/2012 6:47")
This returns 1 instead of 4 expected.

I'm trying to get it to read if the customer reads both criteria which is they've been there 5 years and over 150000 sales =

I have a client/sales sheet where I keep outstanding and paid bills information.
I want to get an indicator cell that shows if a bill was paid Y, or Not paid.
Since cell. However, if there is no invoice I want it to show,... nothing.
I used the invoice date cell C4 to see if there is an actual invoice. I thought the following formula would do it. However, if the invoice is paid and the outstanding amount W4 is 0.00 it returns a N, as Not paid????
C4 (date of invoice)
W4 (is amount due - payment =U4-V4)
(this is the formula I thought of)
=IF(ISBLANK(C4),"",IF(W4>0,"N", IF(W4=0,"Y")))

I'm currently working on creating a schedule for work. To make it simple, I have one row with 14 columns for each day of the week split into Time In and Time Out. These are formatted as time "1:30 PM". At the end of the row, I want it to sum the number of hours. I've done this as: =((D4-C4)*24)+((F4-E4)*24)+((H4-G4)*24)+((J4-I4)*24)+((L4-K4)*24)+((N4-M4)*24)+((P4-O4)*24). Which works fine until there is a blank cell.
The time is pulled from another worksheet with the name of the week. Sat and Sun I am off. So the formula goes like this: =IF(ISBLANK(SAT!B4),"",SAT!B$4). I've also tried =IF(ISBLANK(SAT!B4),NULL,SAT!B$4)
The sum at the end does not like the "" value or NULL value. It gives me a #VALUE error for any rows with blank cells. If I change the formula to exclude those weekend days, it works. So I know the error lies in what its putting down for the null value. I cannot have it read zero or anything else. I need it to stay blank but still calculate at the end.
