I'm working on creating a pie chart that draws data from a fair number of source cells. However, a good number of these cells = 0%. How can adjust the chart data range to ignore zeros.
I have a spreadsheet for which I have to set up a formula to get the minimum value from a range of cells, but that range can include blank cells, errors (#DIV/0) and zeros, all of which I want to be ignored. I can work out how to ignore EITHER the zeros
(=MIN(IF(C10:G100,C10:G10)),
or the error cells
(=MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(C9:G9),C9:G9)),
How to exclude both. If I try to combine both of these exclusion criteria it doesn't work and I end up with the answer #DIV/0, which is one of the values I want it to ignore.
I have this formula below it will return multiple results is it possilbe to modified it that it will return multiple results but ignore duplicates. I would like it to be a stand alone formula no helper cells or helper columns.
Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.
I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).
I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]
Questions:
1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?
2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?
with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........
I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.
So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.
I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?
How I can look up non empty cells as shown in the below tables by use of a formula (I guess shifting data to the left without any empty cells between the data)?
I am trying to figure the sum of cells B12:B28. However some of the cells in the range have a #N/A error due to a VLOOKUP function that is pulling data from a different sheet. Currently the data it is pulling is a blank cell, but will at some point have a value in it. How can I make the SUM function ignore the #N/A?
I have a column of numbers that are calculated by a formula that doesn't always come up with an answer and returns the value #NUM!. See the attached XLS. The answer to the sum function is always #NUM! if a #NUM! is included in column of values put into the SUM function. I currently work around this issue by redoing the column with the SUM statement to avoid the #NUM!'s. Is there a logical test that can be applied to solve this issue? an I add another column that reset the #NUM! to ZERO and then SUM that column?
I am using a lookup function to return nalues to a column. Some of the values returned are ### and I cannot SUM this column. I either need to adjust the lookup formula to not return ### or adjust the SUM function to ignore ###.
I have a huge data set that simplified looks like the one below.
I would like to write a vlookup formula that ignores vlookup-value="need manual input", "", and "N/A", and instead continue to find the next lookup value that is not equal to "". if no match at all or only match to "" or "need manual input" I want the output to be "need manual input"
So, in worksheet 1 cell B1 i want to generate value 73530C10 (lookup-table cannot be sorted)
I have a small problem. Basically what I need to do is this: I'm setting the initial value of my combobox to say "Select a Payer". The combobox has a list of insurance payers. When one is selected by the user they click a button and on another sheet is displayed thier selection in a Pivot Table. Unfortunately, when the user selects nothing (the combobox stays at "Select a Payer") problems occurr. What I want is to use if combobox1.value = "Select a Payer" then combobox1.value = {the first actual Payer in the list}. Index number 1 ?
I have a sheet (example attached) I need a formula to recognise only the numeric values either by automatically deleting the words or by entering the numbers in another corresponding sheet, either would do.
Let's say I have a set of values (A1:A10) where each contains a number, with a varied amount of decimal places (some may have 0, some may have 10)...how can I make a formula in cell B1 that averages A1:A10, ignoring the decimal places (rounding to the nearest whole number)
If I did the Average (=AVG(A1:A10)), I would get 94.2498. But I don't want this, I want the formula to take into account the numbers rounded to the nearest whole number, meaning, I want to take the average of..
93 94 92 95 97 98 99 100 89 86
Which would give me a value of 94.3.. In this example, there isn't much of a difference, but I was simplifying the numbers for time sake
The summary page summarises the source data into how much revenue each department has made over 12 months.
However the formula in Summary worksheet column B will only total up the amounts if the month in the Source worksheet column B is the 1st of the month. How do I change the formula in Summary worksheet column B to purely go by month and ignore the day?
I am using the vlookup function to pull in values from another sheet that I will call sheet2. I am using a cell reference for the lookup value on sheet1.
On sheet1, the value in the reference cell has a superscript "1" that corresponds to a footnote at the bottom of the page. The corresponding lookup value on sheet2 does not have any superscript. Is it possible to make the vlookup function ignore the superscript for the purpose of the lookup?
I have several excel spreadsheets cataloging the right ascension transit times of various extrasolar planets. I need to convert all the times (in 24-hour format) from UT to PDT (that is, subtract seven hours). Unfortunately, each transit time is included in the same cell as the date the exoplanet's star is visible, like so:
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3998/transit.png
Now, I have a lot of data that I need to convert. I do not want to go through manually and change each cell's value manually. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out a way to use a formula to do so; I do not want to modify the date (the top value of each cell), and the colon separating hours from minutes screws up the rest of the formula.
So, how can I use excel to automatically subtract seven hours from the bottom value of each cell, without doing anything to the rest of the numbers in each cell?
To highlight largest and smallest values in a worksheet I have used large and small function to calculate and then and index to highlight name attached
So I highlighted bunch of cells where numbers are stored as text and chose "ignore error". But when I re-sort the list, the errors come right back again.
Is there a way to get them to stick so I don't have to keep choosing ignore error?
I have a row of cells, say, A1 to G1. I wish to sum the values in cells, say, A1, C1, F1 and G1 only. The chosen cells can have values 0, >0 or Blank. How do I sum the values and ignore the blank cell(s) without getting #VALUE!? Filling the blank cells with "0" is not an option.
(Any blank cells may have a value added at a later date).
Edit: I could use multiple 'IF' statements, but this is cumbersome. There must be a simpler way.
