MS Word Large Numbered List
Sep 1, 2009
I have a very large numbered list in MS Word, in the following style:
1. Animals
1.1 Mammals
1.1.1 Dogs
1.1.1.1 Beagles
1.1.1.2 Pugs
1.1.2 Cats
1.1.3 Elephants
1.2 Fish
1.2.1 Cod
...and so on.
I am trying to bring this data into Excel (2007) but in a way so that:
"Animals" goes into column A.
"Mammals" and "Fish" go into column B (in their own cells, in different rows).
"Dogs" and "Cats" go into column C.
"Beagles" and "Pugs" go into column D...
and so on.
The idea is to have each line in a different row, but have the columns serve more or less the same function that the tab indents do when looking at it in Word. (I'm trying to create a "breadcrumbs" style list for each line item). I've tried using tabs as a delimiter for importing text into word, but it doesn't seem to recognize Word's tabs when applied through a numbered list.

I have a list of IDs that recurs over a time period. It consists of a Start Data an ID Number. These IDs recur over and over again through one month with different start dates.
See Below:
Date ID
12/1/2013 10:00:00 AM 67890
12/6/2013 12:00:30 PM 67890
12/18/2013 06:30:05 AM 67890
From Another List I'd like to pull a max enddate that is within 24 hrs of the start date. There will be multiple end dates. Here is what the other list would look like.
End Date ID
12/1/2013 1:00:30PM 67890
12/6/2013 4:00:45PM 67890
12/18/2013 9:30:00 AM 67890
Seems like using vlookup with the ID as the lookup wouldnt work because it would just pull the first date it found over and over again.

I have a large list of in rows with multiple column headings: ie. Name, date, amount. I need to generate a separate list whereby the rows that correspond to a given criteria are extracted and listed sequentially.
I have attached a simple example to demonsrate what i mean.
in the attached spreadsheet, i have a column of colours, and a column of objects- RED book, BLUE hat, etc.
I'd like the criteria that i type in the green cell (a choice of colour), to generate a list of all the items that match that colour, and be displayed in the orange cells. So, if the green cell says BLUE, the list should pick out the BLUE dog, BLUE hat etc.

I am trying to do is create a list from a large table (see attached). I have 2 columns (A and B) listing 'Asset' and 'Area' and then 2 rows (1 and 2) listing 'type of task' and 'task'. This forms a table with entries in the cells (from C3 onwards) denoting frequency of each task at each location, i.e. daily, monthly, 6 monthly and annual. This gives me quite a large table which is quite confusing. Can I create a formula to sort all the daily activities which will give me a list of the 4 corresponding properties 'country', 'location' (in columns A and B) and 'type of task', 'task' (in Rows 1 and 2)? Then do the same for the different frequencies populated in the table, 'monthly', '6 monthly' and 'annual' ???

I have a large list of data in sheet1. The relevant columns contain a unique identifier (column 'N') and a value of either "True" or "False" in column O. Because I don't want users to have to trawl through hundreds of lines looking for the 'False' entries, I have a macro that copies only those records to Sheet3. In this sheet the user can set the 'False' value to 'true' but I don't know how to return the new value to Sheet2 (possibly for multiple records).

I need to setup a macro that will search for a keyword in a list with about 21000 rows. When the macro finds the keyword it cuts the row out and moves it to another sheet. I'm having a few problems
1. I don't know how to make the function search until it can't find the keyword anymore, then move on to the next word
2. I can't get it to select what it finds it finds the cell but I don't know how to select that cell once its found.
Sub Search()
'
' Search Macro
'
Dim keyword As String
Dim x, y, z As Long
For x = 1 To 53
Sheets("Test1").Select
Range("A" & x).Select
keyword = Selection.........

We collect loan payments for 36 months from customers.
Column A lists 1000+ customers.
Column J lists the date we received payment 1 ... Column Q lists the amount we received on payment 1.
Column R lists the date we received payment 2 ... Column Y lists the amount we received on payment 2.
Column Z lists the date we received payment 3 ... Column AG lists the amount we received on payment 3.
This repeats for all 36 payments.
New customers are loaded in each month, so be aware that Column J, Column R, Column Z (and so on) have dates from 2011 and 2012 and 2013.
We'd like to create a list of all customers that have not made a payment for the current month as of a certain day (say the 12th). So this month, on January 12th, we'd like to search our data for all customers that don't have a payment listed between January 1st - January 12th.

I have sales data in columns, the right most column has values in it.
If I filter the data using the standard Filter, I can add only filtered records by using SUBTOTAL(9, filtered_list) and this gives me the answer.
How can I find the 2nd largest or second smallest ONLY from the filtered data without using a Pivot table?

I am facing problem in finding the second large value while my list is having duplicate data.
For Example
my numbers are:-
12,65,45,12,87,90,65,87
if I want to find out the top four value by using the formula:-
=large(A1:A8,{1;2;3;4})
the result is coming like: - 90,87,87,65
instead of this I want the result as: - 90,87,65,45.

(Excel for Mac 2011). The size of my data means am crashing by usual methods of sorting - I need a formula for this rather than pivot tables.
I have a list of c. 40,000 rows. Col A is client name (largely different but some duplicates); Col B is Policy type (eg Home, Motor, Travel) and Col C is earnings on that policy (eg -60). An example would be:
Name
Policy Type
Earnings
Johnson
Home
[Code]...
So I need to figure out (via a formula) two things:
1) How to count duplicate names (eg appearing 3x = 1 customer; appearing 2x = 2 customers; appearing 1x = 1 customer)
2) How to build a simple table to show the relationship between policies. This would have Motor, Home, Travel, Motorcycle as columns and also as rows - the data would then be how many policies and in each cross point?
I have tried just working the data using Countifs etc, but as soon as I apply it to the whole data set the machine freezes, presumably due to its size

I have a table of sales by month per account. Each account has an associated country, but there may be many duplicates of each country per month.
I want to create a formula which indexes the country field and gives me the country with the highest total sum for a specified date range. I'd like to be able to drag the formula down and have the country with the highest sales, then the second highest, and third highest, and so-on. Column ranges are specified below.

I was thinking of using an array function utilizing index, large, sumif, and match, but I am getting stuck. I'm honestly not sure if what I'm looking for is even possible, but in Excel, everything is possible, so there has to be a way!

1) I would like to be able to filter dates of column B (exemple from 01.01.2014 to 01.03.2014) and that the sum "Invoice Amounts" from these dates ONLY add up in cell G2.
2) I also want cells C2 & D2 to be used in the formula instead of having to select dates manually in column B.

I am trying to write a formula that will count rows. The hard part is when the project is cancelled I have the formula written to not count that row. However, I want the next valid row to be numbered sequentially. Here is the formula I have:
=IF($B2="","",IF($Q2="YES","",ROW($A1)))
So I want it to be numbered 1,2,3...., not 1,3,4.

I have a spreadsheet with data down column A. The data is either numeric or alpha numeric, however, it is not seen as numerical.
Is there a formula I can use to count the total number of cells with only numbers in against other criteria too? I can use Sumproduct for 2 criteria but can't figure out how to do the 3rd.

I need to print hundreds of pre-numbered surveys with two variables: class number and student number.
For example:
District
Number of classrooms
Number of students per class
A
50
20
B
100
25
C
35
20
I can create a separate template with district name, but don't know how to automatically print multiple copies with an auto-number. The result I want would be that it would print the following..
1. Class 1 / Child 1
2. Class 1 / Child 2
3. Class 1 / Child 3
... etc. through class 1 / child 20
21. Class 2 / Child 1
22. Class 2 / Child 2
etc.
I am willing to do this within Word, or as a mail merge with Excel or Access as long as I don't have to create a spreadsheet with thousands of numbers in it.

I'm using an Excel spreadsheet to, both, illustrate and define a daily schedule. The schedule is most intuitive if depicted with time-of-day increasing downward, and different columns dedicated to different days. There's no brief explanation as to why, but this is the only format that "works". The problem is, each day requires three columns, so a schedule can only be defined out to about 85 days because of 256column limit.
It would be nice if I could switch the way the spreadsheet is displayed - so that "rows" (1,2,3) become vertical stacks of cells, and columns (A,B,C) are horizontal. I don't mean move data within the spreadsheet - that's what Transpose does - I'm saying change the way the spreadsheet is "rendered". In this case it would allow data to be presented intuitively, AND provide for growth to the right, rather than downward.
I'd be (really) happy to hear if this was possible(?), but doubt it. I don't think it would require a fundamental redesign of Excel, just a optional way to depict a spreadsheet - to suit GUI needs.

i have a program that exports multiple invoices to an excel template for ease of formatting and printing. it can export multiple invoices at once, each invoice being on a separate worksheet. i need for the user to be able to print all worksheets at once and have the pages NOT be numbered 1-30, rather 1-2, 1-4, 1-3, etc.
i understand i can use the header to insert page numbers, but they only function the way i would like when you print each worksheet one at a time. however, there could be any number of invoices to print at once. the only drawback is i am unable to use macros due to security risks/settings.
i would imagine there is some concoction of formulas i could possibly use to accomplish what i need, as i know how many rows of data will fit before excel inserts a page break(56 rows of invoice items, and there are 18 rows besides that repeat on every page). so if i could come up with a way to tell excel when to increment the page number in a cell using a formula of some kind, that would be perfect. or, another way of setting up my template so that it will print page numbers as expected.

I would like to be able to enter a number into a cell, and have it change in increments that I specify in another cell. I would also like to specify the number of copies. For example I would enter 2 into a cell, and specify the number be increased by two for every sheet printed. Then I would input how many copies I want into another cell. Everytime each sheet is printed the number would change from 2 to 4 to 6 to 8 etc. This would be for a specific sheet in which I make running total tags for inventory purposes.

I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document.
For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document
'or
Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.

I have a list of print titles and a list of eBook titles. I need to do a lookup ot bring across the ISBN of the print book over to the eBook list so I can compare them. I have already done the standard Trim and vlookup, and the "*"&A2&"*" lookup but there are still about 70 titles I need to find. For instance:
Table 1
A1 = BATMAN STORY BOOK 1
B1 = 9780199134979
Table 2
A1 = BATMAN:BOOK 1 STORY
B2 = 9780199135589
Is there a way I can just look up BATMAN from A1 Table 2 so that it returns B1 from Table 1 (the ISBN) in a new cell?

following calculation that someone created for me.
=LOOKUP(10^10,CHOOSE({1,2},0,AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!$C2:$C13=$A2,IF(Sheet1!$B2:$B13-DAY(Sheet1!$B2:$B13)+1=B$1,Sheet1!$D2:$D13)))))
My problem is that I have some customer account numbers that are alpha/numeric (1B0012) and some that are just numeric (1675) . The above formula does not pick up the numeric accounts correctly.
Is there something that I need to add/remove from this formula so that it will pick up both? or is it a format issue?
I have attached an example of the spreadsheet with this problem. If you select either of the alpha numeric codes it works, but if you select the numeric code it doesn't.

I received one excel spreadsheet office 2010 every week from one on the vendor. it has over 55000 rows. I got columns N, O, P & Q. these columns has some value which I use for my pivot tables. However the values in this columns are stores as a text. I select the little small box (information box ) appears on the right side of the cell and right click on that where I get an option to change it to number. This is working well.
However I have over 55000 rows , it takes a lot of times to change all these cells in four columns ( almost over 220,000 cells). some times more than an hours.
I use excel 2010.

How do you make the auto-fill to not automatically use the next numbered cell:
For example:
I want it to fill with every other cell from a different sheet (same column "D") so i would have a cell ='sheet1'$D10 or whatever then how would i do it so it will auto fill every other cell from then on so the first cell below the initial one would copy from the other sheet as D12 instead of D11?

In column A we have words, like this:
CHAIR
EXCEPT
WORLD
STREET
OUTSIDE
PEOPLE
WINDOW
LETTER
BOOK
In column B we have another list of words:
NIGHT
DREAM
EXPECT
THOUGHT
TEDIOUS
OFFICE
SETTER
LIBRARY
BEFORE
OFFER
I need a formula in C1 which will check all the words from column B and find the ones which are anagrams of some of the words from column A, and then return those words next to them.
(Anagram is the word made up of another word's letters, without repeating or omitting any, for example anagram of SPARK is PARKS).
In the example above, we would have the words: EXCEPT next to EXPECT (in C3), OUTSIDE next to TEDIOUS (C5), and STREET next to SETTER (C7).
