Numerical Logic Colliding With Text
Oct 13, 2008
I have a monster of a sheet going and am working for research purposes. I dislike the interface of SPSS so I use excel to boil down my variables to a smaller state, to which it then goes back to SPSS for the hardcore analysis. Unfortunately, this study has values of "N/A", "Missing", and "." (not entered), so it makes it a bit tricky for me. Say I want to check 10 different scales to see if any are true: =IF(OR(FJ6>=1,ZD6>=1,....etc),"Yes","No"))
Problem is the blasted program is reading ".", "Missing", and "N/A" as greater than one!!!!! I've found a way around by making monster formulas that first check that the field is not equal to those three text values, but there must be a faster way! To see what I mean, put a period in one cell (like A1) and write =IF(A1>=1,"Yes","No") and you'll see it returns a Yes.

I'm trying to streamline my spreadsheet a bit. Sometime last year I managed to use the formula found (on the attached file) in cell K4 to assign a numerical value to a lettered grade. However, it's been a year or so since I thought about it and so I've completely forgotten how to edit it to make it more appropriate for this spreadsheet!
Essentially what I'm trying to do is a workaround for what I've already done in columns E and F: I'm trying to show the difference between two grades (letters) as a numerical value. Is there a way to do this, or is the VLOOKUP work around I've used in columns E and F going to be the simplest way?

Basically what I am trying to do is build a formula but I have hit a wall it seems like.
what I want to do to complete the formula is, I have 2 names in mind that I want to be able to enter one cell and have excel translate them into a number. So for example if I enter the name John in that cell excel will know that John means the number 3 and then tomorrow I erase John from that cell and enter Jim and excel will know that Jim means the number 2.
But again I want to be able to enter a certain body of txt into one cell and have excel recognize it as a number. How can this be done?
I have Excel 2003 and 2007

Is it possible once you have assigned text a numerical value (example: Adam = 12) to add them together? (example: adam =12 and bob = 8, therefore adam + bob = 20)

The formula contained within these cells equals =MONTH(C84) [the date 2 cells above it]... to which I've formatted the cell to "mmmm" and it displays "January" across the board. Can anyone explain why this is occuring and how I can fix it please? I'm aiming to graph this information and can't accurately do it using the moving monthly system i've put in place if I can't change the months dynamically like this.
Secondly, and on a side note. Line 84 currently takes todays date (not currently todays date in the example screenshot) (=TODAY()), and to get to the previous 13 months I deduct 31 days. I can foresee this as being a problem further down the track especially when leap years come into play. Is there a function in Excel where I can simply deduct 1 month from another? =MONTH(C84)-1 ?

Hi all, first post here.
I've been asked to do something in excel i can't seem to get my head around.
My client provides me with data in the form
1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3c etc... where 1a is the lowest.
I need to find a way of working out the difference between these, e.g.
edit: 2a - 1c = 5
I've been working on it and have made some headway by splitting these with MID function and then using CODE to try and work out a unique ID for each, but i can't help feeling there's an easier way!

I need to create a formula that searches column E for text, let's say "BANANA", and when it finds that text, the formula returns the numerical value of the cell in that same row in column B. Let me know how this can be done.

I am working up a workbook template that will be used to process survey results. The way I ultimatley want it to work is that the user can paste data from another application into a worksheet in Excel, and then view analysed results on a second sheet (which are processed via formulae on a third, hidden sheet).
The problem I have is this: the data from the program that's capturing them are text values. For example, column B contains answers to a question where participants rate an experience, and the values are either "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor", "Awful". I want these to be converted to numerical values, on a scale where "Excellent" = 5 and "Awful" = 1, so that I can then average these.
So, the question is: Can I somehow tell Excel that "Excellent" = 5 and "Good" = 4 etc, and then use AVERAGE(B:B) on the text data and get a number back?
I did think of having an intermediate sheet that used VLOOKUP to create a copy of the first sheet (where the user pastes the text data) with the text replaced by numbers. But, because I don't know in advance how many rows will contain data (i.e. how many survey results there will be), I have to assume on the high side and copy down 50,000 rows. But, this takes ages to calculate.

I am creating for the pupils at my school. Comparing the grades they were predicted and have achieved I would like to give them a score.
I have already achieved this but it means wasting 3 columns for each subject to work it out. The ambition is to do all the working out and assign a point score value in 1 column.
The spreadsheet it attached if anyone would be kind enough to have a look and see if there may be a formula which will do what I need.

I am using the following formula to find out the No. of "HH" in the range given and I am getting the results simply with numerical value as 2, 3 etc. I want the result should be displayed as 2HH, 3HH depending upon the No. of "HH" available in the given range. The result should be displayed as (the No. added with the text "HH").
=IF(AND(DJ10="HH"),COUNTIF(DF10:DJ10,"HH"),"-")
I use excel 2002.

I am quite inexperienced with Excel and I am struggling to understand how should I set up a formula, within the data validation function to achieve the following:
I need to restrict a certain set of cells, for people to be able to input only the following values: "1", "0.5", "A", "H", "0.5A" (or 0.5a), "0.5H" (or 0.5h)
And I would need the data validation tool not to include blank cells.

I have a large database from a central appraisal district. In the database the city is stored as a numerical value. The problem is I need to convert the numerical value for the city to a text string with the actual city name. For example the values to the attached example database are as follow:
excel help forum 2.xlsx
024 = Hurst
026 = Fort Worth
025 = Euless
017 = Mansfield
013 = Keller
The issue is, I need to convert this column of numbers into the string of the actual city name. Is there some type of command, or macro that I could use to automate this process? Attached is a small example copy of the database.

I need to know if you can give a cell with text (such as a name) the value in a different cell (eg a total value cell).
Basically when the name is displayed I can add that cell to a team and therefore easily calculate a total teams worth by dragging names into the team's column.

There are three situations that should yield the answer "overdue" and a fourth and fifth situation that should yield an answer "on target". I'm new to functions and have spent SEVERAL hours on this
{=IF((G4<>0,F4<$g$1="Overdue")+(F4<G4="Overdue")+(G4<>0,F4>$g$1="On Target")+(F4>=G4="On Target"))}

Although the "Trip Sequence" is same , but I need to separate the Trips if the difference between the "1ST TIME " is more than 3 hours keep the first "Trip Sequence" unchanged , then by either adding a prefix or add 2000000 to the second "Trip Sequence" and 3000000 to the Third, so forth so on until all the rules are applied ( assuming more than 3 Trip Sequences could be also allocated in the database ).

I have 3 ranges in an excel sheet
col 1 range contains a numeric value ("1" or "5")
col 2 range contains a string value ("left" or "right")
col 3 range contains a string value ("a" or "b" or "c")
example: I am trying to get a total count if col 1 contains either a "1" AND
col 2 value is "left" And col 3 value is "a". Note: If col 1 is blank (" ") then the rest of the row is irrelevant. See attachment

I am trying to calculate the number of forecasted hours worked per week for each contractor based on their allocation to the project and also based on a 37.5 hour standard week.
I am using a formula which was previously provided to me for another problem but theoretically should share the same logic. The formula works only when a contractor is forecasted to work for a full week. If there is a contract which finishes mid week the formula returns a weird value. Also another problem is that if a contract is starting on the 12th of January, it still forecasts a full week for the week commencing the 7th of January. I have attached a spreadsheet for everyone's reference.

I want cell B to be blank if 1 of 2 different conditions are met. If Cell A is blank then so too should be Cell B. If cell A contains data, then I want cell B to perform a formula $D$1-E6.
However, if Cell C contains data then Cell B should return to a blank status.

Sample spreadsheet attached to provide a visual of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Issue: Need to identify which userid's can be deployed and which userid's can't
Detail: In the attached spreadsheet, column A would list all userid's that the project team wants to deploy an application to. Let say for this example that they want to deploy Adobe Acrobat Pro v9 to replace Adobe Acrobat Pro v7. In my actual spreadsheet, there are 1307 userid's in Column A.
As a result of meetings, we have identified 11 Functional Teams that CANNOT have their users upgraded to Acrobat Pro v9. Using internal LDAP look up tools, I am able to generate a list of userid's for each of those 11 Functional Teams. The numbers vary. Again, in my actual spreadsheet so far, Functional Team #1 has 600 userid's, FT#2 has 2700 userID's, FT#3 has 6700 userid's, etc. I'm not done generating the userid's for each functional team but I know I need assistance once I'm done!! LOL!!
Using Column A, I'd like to see if that same userid exists anywhere in Columns B thru L. If it does, then that specific userid cannot be deployed. I would like that userid to be displayed in column N. And in Column O, I'd like to display the name or names of the functional team that this userid is a member of. It could be multiple teams. This will help me identify users that have multiple functional team memberships. Useful data for future deployments.
Using Column A, if a userid does not exist in Columns B thru L, then that userid can indeed be deployed. I'd like to get that userid displayed in Column M.

In the columns below B is just 95% of A. What I want to do in column C is to put the maximum value of B over the range that corresponds until the value in A is less than that. For example for my 1st run the value would be $1,125.68 because this is the maximum amount before you fall below that in column A, or in this case hits $1,106.40. I want to be able to perform this automatically down the line (expanding the range until the logic test is true) but can't figure out how to do this. The formula would basically be the max of the range in Column B is > Column A until this is not true, then return the max in Column B for entry in Column C. Then in Column D I would run an identical analysis but return the Row identifer for the dataset.

I have a dump which looks like below sample:
3
3
2
2
The actual dump will have around 200 - 500 rows of data.From the above I need to manually group them which are similar. E.g. the data of (3, 3, 2 , 2) in row 1 & 2 are matching, so they will be group 1 & row 3 will be group 2, row 4 will be group 3 respectively.
The sum & sort did not work as sometimes the data with the same range are not in same order. simpler logic/VBA code if any, which will automatically put group numbers if the data in two rows are exact match.
E.g of the output below for the above data:
Group No.
1
3
3
2

I am trying to get my head around sumproduct. So I had a go at trying to use the following formula to add data in odd columns.
=SUMPRODUCT(ISODD(COLUMN(A1:J1))*(A1:J1))
The formula below works but I don't understand whats wrong with the one above. Can anyone please explain how I would use isodd to achieve this? What am I doing wrong?
=SUMPRODUCT((MOD(COLUMN(A1:J1),2)=0)*A1:J1)

I'm working with Excel 2003 on a peice for work that requires users to enter their current grade and, if they have one, a temporary grade. Another sheet in the workbook needs to add together all those in a certain grade and who answered a certain way to a drop-down table, so that I can use it to figure out what percentage of staff are of each grade. At the moment it looks like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Work_Data!F2:F9827="Grade 1"),--(RIGHT(Work_Data!K2:K9827,3)="Top 25%"))
Which only draws information from the current grade (column F) and the answer they give (Column K). What I can't come up with is a formula that will only take column F as long as column G hasn't got a temporary grade, but if it does have a temporary grade will take column G instead.
