I want excel to multiple the values in a specific range.
For example:
I will give 2 dates: MAR 2006 and MAR 2007. Excel should multiple the value 0,76 and 0,71. It's simples because is 2 months. But I have a lot of months (2006 until 2009).
So I would give MAR 2006 and MAR 2009 and excel should multiple the values from MAR 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. All the values in the range, but only for March.
The month will never change between the first and the last date.
I think on using VLOOKUP. Then I have the first value and the last one. But how can I tell excel to multiple the range?
The ideal will be a VLOOKUP that returns the ADDRESS of the cell, not the value. But I didn't see this possibility.
I have a question regarding a vba formula in excel. I am trying to take a whole row ( range) of data and multiply each cell within that range by -1 if a particular cell is an Asset or Liability.
Function AFTER_REFRESH(Argument As String)
AFTER_REFRESH = True
If Range("G5:H5").Item(1, 55) = "LEQ" Then
Range("G5:H5").Value = (-1) * Range("BM5:BN5")
MsgBox "Yo"
Else
End If
End Function
Would I have to use an array?
Please see the attached .xls.
I've tried to replicate my formula (result is in cell J5) via an array formula but keep getting stuck.
Basically there is a 2 dimensional array of weights (range1, limits)
each range in range1 and "limits" has a midpoint
a constant value (Fixed Amt) is added to each midpoint in range1
then multiplied by another constant value (Inflation Index)
The value is then capped by corresponding value in the limits range
this is repeated for all points in the 2 dimensional array (range1,limits) (essentially weighting the results)
and the sum is returned.
I've been able to get most of the way with an array formula, but end up collapsing the array when I use the min function.
I did a search myself, then went through the 5 pages the "Post" function brought up. I'm sure it's been asked before, I must just not be using the right words
I need to tell every cell in one column to multiply itself by a firm number and a percentage. Ex: Column F will be the result of $77.80 times 75 percent all the way down the column. Column G will be $27.21 times 100 percent all the way down.
I could enter the formula into every cell, but I wondered if there's a way to just tell the whole column, only once, what it needs to do. PS-I work for an insurance company. The employees of a company want a spreadsheet showing exactly who pays exactly what. Ex: Their paystub shows $142.90 coming out of their paycheck. Their employer pays 100% of medical, 75% of dental. The columns would show Total, Employer Medical, Employer Dental, Employee Medical, Employee Dental.
I'm absolutely new to Excel and I've been trying to workout a formula to to test two conditions if true and derive the data from a 3rd column. In my attached excel file there's a Grade (A) , Status (B) and Mid Point (C) Tables. I'd like it to be formulated in a sense that forexample:
IF Grade= 1 AND Status= Q4 RETURN =3750*0.25
IF Grade= 1 AND Status= Q3 RETURN =3750*0.5
IF Grade= 1 AND Status= Q3 RETURN =3750*0.75
IF Grade= 1 AND Status= whatever (I mean whatever I input in this cell then it would retrun 3750 ofcourse satisfying the condition grade= 1) RETURN =3750
IF Grade= 2 AND Status= Q4 RETURN =5500*0.25
IF Grade= 2 AND Status= Q3 RETURN =5500*0.5
IF Grade= 2 AND Status= Q2 RETURN =5500*0.75
IF Grade= 2 AND Status= whatever (I mean whatever I input in this cell then it would retrun 5500 ofcourse satisfying the condition grade= 2) RETURN =5500

I have Column C and D filled with numeric temperature and humidity data. I need next 16 rows (8 more set) to be filled with randomly generated dummy data by the values exist in C and D. Same numbers but randomly distributed.
I am trying to multiply a range of cells by a cell reference. The cells currently have hard coded values in them. I know with past special you can multiply a range of cells by a copied #. I want a similar function to that just instead of a copied cell its a cell reference. No VBA.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need the easiest way to randomize or generate team numbers in a league. Using COL A assign numbers between 1 & 8 without duplicates. Then repeat 5 more times. This has to be done on the spot and has time constraints as the players will be waiting for their team assignments.
EXAMPLE: I have 48 players which will be assigned to 8 teams of 6. I want to randomize the drawing so the same players don't play on the same teams each week. Also to be able to adjust number of teams determined by how many players are present. either 6 , 8, or 10 teams.
Been trying to think of a way to get random numbers 1 to 36 generated without repeating in the same column, however also getting it to perform the same opertaion in 9 more columns (B:J) without the same number appearing in the same row.
example
1 2 5 4
2 5 3 1
3 4 1 5
4 1 2 3
5 3 4 2
Unsure if this is possible, have created a basic script for random number generation but have no clue how to expand across columns.
I am copying various rows from one spreadsheet to another (sheet3) and would like to total one of the columns. The trouble is that since I don't know how many rows there will be I am having trouble inserting a formula that will work. I am sure that there must be a simple solution but I can't seem to find it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPlease see attached sample worksheet. Column A will be generated by the user manually.
I'm looking for a way in VBA to have A1:D20 in Sheet2 copied and pasted in the "Bank Reconciliation" Sheet based on how many "Markets" there are in Column A. Then, once that's complete to have A22:D30 (the smaller box in Sheet2) copied and pasted directly below those results.
I have what the macro would hopefully generate to the right in "Bank Reconciliation" (B6:E54) as an example. So if there's a market in A1, copy and paste the box to B6. If there's a market in A2, copy and paste the box directly below the first (B26) etc. etc. until it's done, then paste the smaller box directly below whatever the macro generates.

I'm trying to create a formula that takes from "Manual" Sheet the number from colume G2 and multiply it by the percentage in sheet "AllocationRule".
My formula currently is =Manual!$G$2*AllocationRule!$B5.
What needs to happen is that the total number in "Manual" needs to be distributed evenly in 4 rows by the percentages allocated in "AllocationRule".
Right now I can't copy my formula over to the sheet because the "AllocationRule" should stop at B5 and not go further and the G2 from "Manual" should not change for the percentage allocation but should change to the next row for the next month.
And then after I've done the calculation I want the LOB in "AllocationRule" to be displayed in the LOB in "H1913_H1914" but I'm not sure what formula to use.

I have a column that has numerical values in random order. I want to locate the first occurance of a value in that column.
I have unsuccessfully tried an Index-Match function - apparently unsuccessful because the values must be in ascending or descending order?
How do I create a 6 digit unique random number for use as an ID in column A. Once created the rows with preexisting 6 digit unique random ID numbers must not change every time new rows are added.

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,1),B3:C20,2,) to =VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,14),B3:C20,2,)
Works great, except when a number is duplicated, (E.G. 14,13,13,12,11,10,10,9,8 etc). It then returns the first value from(C) repeated, and not the value from the second and subsequent duplicated reference numbers.
Please see the attached sheet. I have columns B through a lot (B through O in my oversimplified example). In every 7th row in each of these columns there is either a 1 or a blank/zero. I need to multiply that 7th number by the Quantity in column A, to achieve a total (ie the sum of each result of 7th cell*quantity) for each column in the bottom row, labeled "Totals".
In the actual version of my sheet, there are far too many rows to select everything manually. I've been fiddling with combinations of COUNTIF/COUNTA and OFFSET, but I haven't come up with a way to check for the 1 in every 7th row, THEN multiply that 1 by the quantity in column A, THEN add up the results for each column. As you can see, there are 1's elsewhere in the columns that are irrelevant to this particular calculation, so something like LOOKUP would also have to look in every 7th cell and couldn't just look at the column as a whole.
If you can't provide an immediate solution, but can at least point me to a resource that would allow me to devise a way to isolate every 7th row (THAT part is the sticking point), I'll surely post the solution to my own thread with updated keywords if I need it.
Is there any way to get a custom number format to display a multiple of the cell value? e.g. can I have a cell have the value 0.005 and display the value 50?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to take a number (any number) and multiply it by per minute using real time. For example: Say I have 12 apples. I want that 12 apples to multiply per hour.
12x(per 60 minutes)= total
The total will change every hour because the formula will be using real time. I can write the formula for 12x60 but to enter the time, based on real time I just don't know or even if it can be done.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a complex request which I think can be done either via vb or a macro, not sure which is best?, will try to explain:
The table shows a list of items that make up various BOM. there are quantities of each item required at the different BOM level
0 = Top level
1 = Level Below
2 = Level below that etc, etc
If the top level (0) has a quantity greater than 1 then all the items at the lower levels should be multiplied by that quantity
THEN move to the level 1's and whatever the quntity is in the level 1 field, multiple all lower levels by that number
if the quantity fields are blank, then always multipy below by 1
This needs to continue on down the chain of levels
So basically you end up with the correct quantites of each item at each BOM level.
I am trying to build a formula that will give me the 'Final Qty' listed. It needs to be based on 'indentation' level, listed in the 'Belongs To:' column. Exammple: Part 130-0014-02A belongs to 130-0647-00B, which in turns belongs to 139-0086-00D, so mathematically, 4*1*10 (order qty) gives 40.
Can this be done by using some sort of combination of Sumproduct, Index, Match, Sumif formulas? ...
After ripping a .pdf report into Excel I am left with a variety of items in Column A, numbers as text, text, and blanks. I manually selected entire column and paste special multiply. Seems to have convereted blanks to zero, converted numbers stores as text to numbers, and ignored any text. Problem is writing macro to repeat the steps as will use the tool every period. I tried looping through the range
For Each C In myRange
C.Value = C.Value * 1
Next C
But this returns type mismatch error. So why did it work manually if won't work through the macro?
I want to multiply a number say, 1551 by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% and 9% and round each result to 0 decimal places. Then the sum of these results (544)should be equal to 35% of 1551 rounded to 0 decimal places (543). How do I create an if function for rounding so that the sum equals 543.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to calculate Interest accrued from a specific date. The problem is payments can be interest only which when used should keep the next months interest at the same rate instead of decreasing because the principal hasn't been paid down.
Im having problems when over the course of a number of payments they are principal + Interest and Interest only which requires at times to add up the same interest amount for 2-3 months in a row, then add up a different interest rate, etc. Additionally if the reference date is say on the 15th and the interest date is the 1st then for the last month I need to calculate the interest on a daily basis based on the current interest rate for that month.
The reference cell is H5, the Date ranges are J2 - J12, and the principal fields are: K2 - K12.
In the next post I will include the Amortization schedule.
In this example the interest is accrued at the same rate months 1-7, then decreased for months 8 and 9. so the total interest accrued should be eqaual to: $7487.74 (see next post for schedule).
