I have a date of hire column in mm/dd/yyyy with 5000 rows. It contains many different formats and I need to sort it by year. Is it possible to sort by year and include all months, i.e. everyone hired in 2008, by month.
It also seems that Excel is not recognizing some of the formats as dates.
I copy/paste the data from this website [URL] ........
How I can sort all the data based upon the "Date"? The date data is not recognized when I copy/paste.
I am trying to create an Excel spread sheet that keeps track of employees safety tickets and the dates they expire. Is there way to have a cell highlight to a color warning me 30 days prior to the due date listed?
Eg. John has first aid and expires on 11/15/2009. I'd like the cell that has this date to highlight red on 10/15/2009.
I have messed around with the conditional formatting and know how to format the cells color and font et., but I can not figure out the formula to use to get my results.
I am using Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (MS Office Standard)(SP3)
I'm trying to put cemetery records in a simple, sortable table, names and dates. The problem is that for some entries I have a full date of birth, death, or burial (e.g. 5/12/1892) and for others only a year (e.g. 1892). Is it possible to sort these? All I can get is the just years in order then the full dates at the end. My data look sort of like this:
Smith John 1892 1/1/1940 2/2/1892
Johnson Sarah 3/12/1900 1880 3/10/1900
One thing I don't know is what number format to use (text, long date, short date....) Sometimes the date I type changes after I type it (like 1892 became March 6, 1905) and sometimes it doesn't even though the cell is the same format.
i have a register with items for calibration. I have a column with a date the item is next due cal which is 3 years from date of receipt manually input by myself. say (H64) due 20/11/2010, i would like the cell to be green if todays date is below the date due, but amber if todays date is within 30 days of being due and finally red if todays date is over. i have manged green and red but cant seem to get the between right for the amber.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know I have done this in the past, but now I am having trouble. I have dates in cells that I want to do the following:
First Scenario:
If the date is today, change the color of the text. I have:
Cell Value is equal to =TODAY()
that is working fine
Second Scenario:
If the date is anything within 4 days before today, I want that to change. I have:
Cell Value is Is Less than =Today()<4
that is not working
Third Scenario:
If the date has passed and less than 4 days before todays date, I want something to change. I have:
Cell Value is Less than =TODAY()-4
But that is not working.
Have a simple Pivot table that i have grouped in 14 day buckets.
Currently, the date range looks like this:
1/21/2013 - 2/3/2013
However, I want the range to show the 'last' date only.
Is there a simple way to do this? I just can not see it in the format cells menu...

I have a football pool worksheet. My goal is to have a button that displays a message box with the players in order of how many points they have. So far I have been able to display this message box with one problem...
The problem occurs when there is a tie between two players. If they have they same score it will only display the first score in the row. In my attachments when you press the macro button "score" it displays a message box saying:
"Sue is in first place with 12 points.
Bob is in second place with 9 points.
Bob is in third place with 9 points.
Larry is in forth place with 3 points."
I want it to say:
"Sue is in first place with 12 points.
Bob and Dave are tied for second with 9 points.
Larry is in (third or forth, doesn't matter) place with 3 points."
Even if it needs to say
"Bob is in second place with 9 points.
Dave is in third place with 9 points."
would be an improvement.
Here is my code so far and i've attached the file.
I have a spreadsheet which will be used to measure raw material consumption by day.
I wish to list all days of a year down a column - that I can do.
However, I would like to conditionally format any cell (preferably the row) which contains either a Saturday or a Sunday.
I am tryig to create a macro that looks up a value between two workbooks. In the workbook the value may be on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd worksheet. So far all that is returned after the macro is run is a cell with the formula in it with no values. This is the macro formula:
Do While rcnt <= lrow
Cells(rcnt, 3) = "=if(iserror(vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng1,12,0))=false,vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng1,12,0),if(iserror(vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng2,12,0))=false,vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng2,12,0),if(iserror(vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng3,12,0))=false,vlookup(cells(rcnt,2),rng3,12,0),"""")))"
rcnt = rcnt + 1
Loop
In a Worksheet On Change event I am trying to obtain a new value that the user has placed into a particular cell.
However, when I get to the line of code that reads the value in that particular cell, it is pulling the value that was in the cell prior to the change. When I view the sheet I can see the new value. When I do a debug.print or ? in the Immediate Window it shows the prior value.
I am trying to do an "if" statment to look in every 23rd cell to see if it is greater than 0. if it is it populates what is in that cell. That is fine...
The problem is i want to create the "if" statement just a couple of time manually, than drag it down 300 rows and have it look every 23 cells. It does not recognize the pattern???
I guess because I use a drop down box and another cell reference for the date, my IF/AND statement isn't recognizing the date and therefore gives me a "FALSE" result. I have the date formatted as a date.
I've tried referring to cell I2 which is the drop down box - that doesn't work. I've tried using quotes around the date as if it were text - that doesn't work. If I use just the w10=3 part, that'll work fine but it must be associated with the proper week otherwise every 3rd of the month that falls on a friday will be a holiday.
I am trying to find a formula that calculates the longest period from data in an adjacent cell.
The attached spreadsheet might better explain this
I am working in two different files. If number "40556" on worksheet B is showing on worksheet A, the function is to state "TRUE", but it's stating "FALSE". Both files' numbers are listed as GENERAL under FORMAT CELLS.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've got an Excel 2003 sheet where column E has a 6-digit code input into it. I'm able to right a function off that code that outputs if E2 (for example) equals 123456 then H2 outputs "Dog," if E2 equals 123457 then H2 outputs "Cat," and so on until I reach the max of 7 nested functions. Problem is, I have a lot more than 7 codes that I need to analyze. This Excel sheet will be used every two weeks, with lots of codes input that need to have what the code means output. I created a named formula called "part1" where: =if(sheet1!E2=123456,"Dog",if(sheet1!E2=123457,"Cat", etc. It didn't work when I had $ in front of E & 2.
All variables in "part1" work when tested where H2 = part1. I created a "part2" with more variables, checked each and it works too. My problem now is that when I have H2 set to =if(part1,part1,part2) to test all the variables, it'll work on any variable in "part2" but not in "part1."
I have an autofilter setup with 3 values: "Show", "Hide" and "Always". The show/hide values are dependent if formulas based on other cells.
I have two sheets with this filter (Template and Summary); the filter works fine on the Template tab, however on the Summary tab...
When filtered to only show values "Always" and "Show", the filter only recognizes some of the "Show" values. I have copy pasted the if formula from the rows that work to the rows that don't and verified the formatting is the same. There are no named ranges that may be screwing it up and no empty cells in the filter range.
If I manually unhide the rows in questions, then run the filter, the rows stay shown. However, if I run the filter to only show "Always", then run it again to show "Always" or "Show", then the rows in question disappear.
I also have vba assigned objects for show and hide (the same scripts are used for the Template sheet and the Summary sheet), but the issue persists when using the buttons.
I hard code "Show" instead of it being an if formula, the filter works fine. But the formula that doesn't work is also used on rows that do work.
In cell I2 I have a data validation list. If the selection is "2" then I want to copy and paste a value from another cell to another sheet.
I did a recorded macro but the code does not recognize the selection from the data validation celll, I2.
Is there some code I can add to get the macro to recognize what the user selected?
I'm using a macro to send the contents of a sheet to an html file. The problem I am having is that for some reason it is not recognizing the blank cells in the last column (column 9) of the sheet, thus I am not getting the " " that I need in the html code. The code for column 7 works fine and is identical. I did a test and selected column 9, right clicked, and "Cleared Contents". When I ran the macro again it worked fine. The problem is that sometimes there may be data in column 9, so I can't clear it. Here's the code I'm using. Is there another condition I can use to look for a blank cell or something I can do to the spreadsheet for my code to work?
If Cells(i, 9) = "" Then
a.writeline " <td valign=""top""> </td>"
Else
a.writeline " <td valign=""top"">" & Cells(i, 9).Text & "</td>"
End If
Perhaps I missed something in the basics of Excel as to how a table's column header is formatted.Also, my date format is dd/mm/yyyy
When using a basic formula, such as below, in A1 and Cells A2 and B2 have the dates 1/01/2013 and 2/01/2013, this code works fine.
VB : =If(A2<=Today(),"Yes";"No")
BUT, when you convert those two dates to a table, the formula with post No.
However, if you make another formula as show below, the correct day will come up.
VB : =Text(A2,"dddd")
When auto filling the dates in the row, without a table, the dates increase per day.
When auto filling the dates in the row, with a table, the dates increase per year. (And yes, even when 3+ dates are inserted, highlighting those 3 and then autofill.)
Why does a column header change the format and to what format is it changed to?
Why do some formulas output accurate date based on the date in the column header and others do not?
Why do the dates increase per day without a table and per year with a table?
Whenever I copy and paste dates from the internet I can't get Excel to recognize the info as dates, thus making it impossible to sort by date. It doesn't matter which site I use, I have the problem with all of them.

Using any of the links above, how I can paste those dates and get Excel to sort the date?
I am currently tracking online PPC keyword reports with Excel and need to know if there is a function that will find and match words and phrases and then add the columns that are queried for the matching words/phrases. I think an example is definately in order.
December PPC
Keyword Clicks Cost Revenue
large dogs 45 .18 $12.00
small dogs 35 .25 $15.00
January PPC
Keyword Clicks Cost Revenue
large dogs 12 .14 $8.25
small dogs 18 .18 $5.35
Now using the example above I need a function or maybe even a macro that will scan all "keywords" and find a match for each keyword each month, say large dogs, and then add the clicks, costs, and revenue columns and post them on a particular row or rows.
So when running the function it will find and match "large dogs" for each month, it will then add the clicks for all months with "large dogs" in it and then populate a column or row with the total along with the keyword "large dogs" next to it. Is there a function that will do this or maybe even a macro?
I've digitally signed a macro in Excel, where I'm sending mail from using outlook, but I can't seem to get Outlook to recognise the certificate in outlook, even though both programs have my name as a trusted publisher...... so still getting the "A program is automatically trying to send mail on your behalf" Pop up.
How to get outlook to recognise the certificate on the macro that I'm running from excel?
The main issue being it is sending roughly 50 separate emails, and to wait five seconds and manually have to click 'yes' for each one is not really desirable!
This error occcurs when i add some worksheets to a workbook from another
one. I am not completely sure (cos this is not my work actually) but it
seems to me that there is not really too much (about 4000?) "different" cell
formats in the workbook, but there is a quite lot amount of drawing objects
(grouped technical drwaings plus autocad objects which i also converted them
to bitmaps to overcome the error).
I also dont understand the restriction:
If i have 3999 cells formatted "bold" and another 2 formatted "underlined"
this should not count 4001. True?
My workbook has about 15 worksheets with each fits to 2 printing pages.
I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns. In column D there are the following options: 2,3,4,C,T. I want to color the cell if there is data in the cell and column D contains a value.
So for cell L17, my conditional format I have =AND(D17=2,L17<>"") - - (RED), =AND(D17=3,L17<>"") - - (YELLOW), =AND(D17=4,L17<>"") - - (GREEN).
I need to color for values of C and T: but there are only 3 conditional formats permitted. Is there any way around this?
I'm running excel 2000 and don't have access to mscal.ocx, so i have used the date time picker with a calendar, but the formatting of the calendar is in US format m/d/yy and I need it in UK format d/m/yy, I have narrowed it down the following piece of code, the D values are the days,
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet that shows sun, mon, tue........,sat - all 7 days.
Under each day there are 3 cols so 21 in total.
Data is being entered into cells each day but as the week goes on it gets more difficult to match up the col & row, to many numbers.
What I would like is a way to highlight the whole range of cells per day in a different colour but only when data has been entered under a day, so if no data then no colour fill.
I only need 2 colours, 1 for sun, tue, thurs, sat &
1 for the remaining days.
=COUNTA($A1:$C20)>0
This works for one range as a conditional format but there aren't enough options to do the 7 days.
I need for my office a table which has one column with dates. The "issue" is, that sometimes I know the whole date (day, month, year), sometimes only the month and year and occasionally just the year. Is there a way through custom number formatting that excel behaves correctly? How would I need to set conditions to achieve this? Because now something happens which is 99% incorrect .
View 6 Replies View Relatedhow to combine 2 conditional formats?
I'm trying to shade every other row grey so its readable with this:
=MOD(ROW(),2)
But, at the same time, would like to highlight upcoming expiry dates with this:
=AND(A2-TODAY()>=0,A2-TODAY()<=30)
I have data sent to me with different date formats on the same spreadsheet; I used Format - Cell and format date to this format: yyyy.mm.dd. However, only some of the data changed to this format and rest remain the same. I've tried many other ways, but didn't work.
