Offset Formula: Getting N/A In Cell When Enter Formula
Feb 8, 2010
I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet. The cell/cells in question are f32:f36 on the first tab.
Question #1 how this formula works or what it does.
Question #2 Is when I enter the required information in cells a32:e32 it enters an N/A in cell f32. When I than click on cell F32 and than click on the formula bar and hit enter the information populates.
I need to take a figure that appears in a cell, take off 20% vat from it and then calculate 16% off what is left, that is the figure I need in the new cell ? Show me exactly how to write that formular into the new cell?
Is there a way to add data into a cell that already had a formula? Lets say in cell A1 we have a formula like "=A1*A2". Would I be able to some how enter a value into cell A1 without changing the formula?
Example: enter value "5" into A2 and value "10" into A1 which would result in A1 value being "50" after value is entered.
I know that this creates a circular error but is there any other way to accomplish this?
I know I can put an IF formular into B1 =if(A1="sat",D/O,0) but obviously if people enter data to this cell i.e time they worked the formula goes is there anyway I can put a formular into C1 but have the result entered into B1?
I need to write a formula that calculates after a value is entered. As in I want the cell to show 12% of whatever value is entered. The form needs to look as it does so I considered inserting a column and shrinking it down so it isn't visible, however this would be a last resort. I am building a spreadsheet for others to use and excel is not something they readily understand.
I am thinking something like: if(0,0),ifx,(x*12%)
x being the entered value. Is this possible? I am hoping for some out of the box thoughts.
How can a formula perform the equivalent of the keyboard alt enter in a cell? ie Make =A1&A2 where A1 and A2 are cells containing text become a1text a2text in the new cell.
Is it possible to have a formula in a cell which can be overwritten by manually entering in a number, but if the manually entered number is deleted, the formula remains in the cell.
I am trying to make a very simple macro, that when it is run, it inserts a formula into the selected cell. But I am having problems with quotation marks etc... As it doesn't understand the 3rd and beyond quotation marks.
Sub Macro() ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(A1<3000,"Small", "Large")" End Sub
I'm sure there may is a way of coding it in VBA properly, but I plan to use this method for a range of basic formulas. The idea is this is saved in the Personal Macro Book so I can start a column of formulas by running a Macro rather than typing it in (the example above is a simplified formula, the actual one is fairly long) - then it can just be dragged down on every Workbook I need it in.
The formula =SUM(E5:E39)-SUM(E45+F41) is what I'm using to enter my total man hours for the week (E5:E39) and subtracting my overtime(E45) and vacation hours.(F41). I have to enter OT and vacation on the discription cells to get the numbers to enter into the proper cells. I would like to use a formula to take the total manhours over 40 and enter them into the overtime cell.
I am having a terrible time with Excel today. The version I'm using is Excel 2010.
I just want a simple division formula in a cell, formatted to accounting. This should be really easy, but it isn't reacting the normal way.
The simple division is =13588/12
The output in accounting format should be 1,132.33.
Every time I enter this formula into a cell that is pre-formatted to accounting, the result is 1132 1/3. It also erases my formula and replaces it with the value.
I'm trying to do a column of individual discount calculations using a discount percentage found in a cell two to the right of a cell containing the text "Total SP:" that is always upwards and to the left of the cell where the formula goes (but could be two rows or could be 20). There are multiple "Total SP:" cells in the sheet - I always want the first one upwards. I have created the following but I get #NAME? where I hope to see the discounted value.
VB:
Dim Discount1 As Double Discount = Cells.Find(What:="Total SP:", After:=ActiveCell, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 2) Range("R9:R" & LastRow).Formula = "=IF(J9>0,$E9*(1-Discount1),0)"
I've just thought, the Cells.Find needs to be redone for each cell where the formula is inserted to ensure it always catches the correct discount and this isn't going to do that - it's going to find it once and always use that single value.
I think this needs a Loop or something and to move the ActiveCell down one after the formula to get it to redo the Cells.Find.
I would like to use this formula many times in the sheet, so I would need a reference to the cell the formula is in, and have the SUM range until the next empty cell one column to the left.
So I would need something like (literally):
=SUM(Offset activecell (1,-1) : Offset activecell (1, (look for next empty cell -1)) / Offset activecell (0,-1)
I want to copy formula from previous row to next cell when i enter something in perticular cell. i.e
--Colomn A --- Colomn B -- --------Colomn C 1 01-09-07 ----- John ----------=vlookup(b2,$s$1:$t$10,2,false) 2 01-09-07 ----- Smith -------- =vlookup(b3,$s$1:$t$10,2,false) 3 4 5
Now if i enter date in cell A3 then cell C3 should be automatically filled/copy formula as celll C2. and so on...... then if i enter data to A4 then cell C4 should be automatically filled/copy formula from cell C3.
I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I am trying to create a formula to determine if my students made a point in high standers, which means if they got a level 3 and about in 2009 verse the student's 2008. Now if they stayed on the same level did they make learning gains. So what I need to do is look at the grade level of the student (Colum C), then 2009 Math Developmental Score (Colum J), and Finally 2008 Math Developmental Score (Colum M). So if the student scored a level 2 in 2008 and a level 3 in 2009 he gets a point, but if he stayed on the same level. The formula needs to look see if he made learning gains. So if the student is in grade 4 and was a level 3 in 2008 and 2009 he would need to score 163 points higher in order to get a point. I have created a helper table with the information need to calculate the information. I have been working on this for about a week I can’t seem to get it right.
I am using the following code to sum a range of cells in a column and compare the result to another column, bolding that column if the two values are not equal. This works, but I am sure someone can offer me a far more elegant (and perhaps faster?) solution.
Dim rngRange As Range Dim c As Range
Set rngRange = ActiveSheet.Range("F22:F522") For Each c In rngRange If c.Value c.Offset(0, 1) + c.Offset(0, 2) + c.Offset(0, 3) + c.Offset(0, 4) + c.Offset(0, 5) + c.Offset(0, 6) + c.Offset(0, 7) + c.Offset(0, 8) + c.Offset(0, 9) + c.Offset(0, 10) Then c.Font.Bold = True Else c.Font.Bold = False End If Next c
I saw a formula on another website that shows calculating a YTD formula using the offset function. The address is:

I was working on a version where you enter the months in row 1, number data in row 2, and have the month to use in the formula in cell N2 but it did not work. Any suggestions on how to do it properly? Here is my formula:
I have named a range to find the last cell in a column . I then want to build a table which picks this cell and the cells to the right and above (its for a 6 month rolling table).
Ive attached spreasdsheet so i hope someone has a clue what im trying to do.
Currently have a formula to enter the last value in a row in cell B1. What i need is the formula below in B1 then a formula in A1 which will show the value before the last entry in row 1. Maybe an offset unless there is an easier way
=INDEX(1:1,MAX(IF(D1:Z10,COLUMN(D1:Z))))
i.e.If H1 was the last entry in the row I want a formula for H1 in cell B1 and a formula for G1 in A1
I would like to have a sumproduct formula to sum up in a paticular table in my worksheet. But its in a weird table format. Look in cell A1 that is my criteria it should sum cells G24 thru G28 and it should return the total of 1.8000. The rows could varies from time to time in those table formats. Does anyone knows how to accomplishment this.

I am using an offset match formula to look at a named range of data and create a validation list of property address's based on certain criteria in cell d1.
My question is it appears the information which is status information seems to have to be sorted, otherwise the list doesnt work properly.
is there another formula to accomplish this with out having to sort the criteria in cell d1 ??
This is the formula i am curently using, it works great if "ListStatus" is sorted and not if unsorted.
It works fine, but unfortunately it also shows the "subtotals" in the rows without an "x". "No problem", I thought: this can be easily done with an IF-function surrounding the formula, like this:
But what happened? I got "#N/A!" in each "x"-row!!! How can it be, that the IF-function affects the inner function??? Meanwhile I've found another formula to solve the original problem
I found the following formula, with different sheet and cell references, on someone's site: =OFFSET(CurvCalc!$E$12,MATCH(MAX(CurvCalc!$E$12:$E$10000)+1,CurvCalc!$E$12:$E$10000,1)-1,0)
I googled for the last couple of days but can't find this site again. I have found several that come close like Dave's at http://www.ozgrid.com/News/excel-dynamic-ranges-vba.htm
I am using the OFFSET formula (=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,$B$1,1) and instructions (http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/DynamicRanges.htm) I found on this site (which is great, by the way).
In the instructions on the site, it requires you to define a range for which the formula to apply. What I tried to do was skip naming the range, and simply using the OFFSET in various cells throughout the file. However, whenever I enter in a row [height] of greater than 1, the formula returns a #Value error. I want to use this offset on multiple data ranges, so naming all of them would be rather time consuming. Is there any way to skip this step?
I'm using a "Large" formula with a variable for the number of cells to sum and then later divide by. However, I want the Large formula to look at the X largest values from a column three to the right, then sum the values in the original column. This wouldn't necessarily be the X largest cells in that original column. I believe this would be some sort of offset, but I'm not very good with those.
HTML =SUM(IF(O$4:O$1000="Total I/O Points",N$4:N$1000,0))
Each formula has different text in "".
There are a few macros in this workbook that delete and/or insert rows. When that happens, the formulas listed above get modified with different references. How do I restore the formulas back to the same range reference [O$4:O$1000]?
