I am having a little trouble with IF. My pest control sales people are paid on straight commission. In addition to paying them a sliding percentage of the total contract value I pay them 50% of everything above $100 they charge on the initial service.
calculating these formulas?
Attached is the payroll document.
I have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.

The column of formulas needs to insert a new column and add formulas to it in the next location. Ie (B4:B16 to C4:C16). B4 Being the heading/sheet name.
I have what is probably a simple problem for most, but can't figure out what to do.
In the sample sheet attached, I have times in column E, and an action describing what has happened in column G. What I want to do is calculate the length of time between an opening action and closing one, but don't know how to go about it, as there can be an empty cell(and sometimes more) between each open and close.
Using Microsoft Excel 2007 and all of a sudden, my spreadsheets are not automatically calculating the formulas. It does not matter if I have other workbooks open or not. I still get the problem. It does not happen 100% of the time to make it even more complicated.
- Calulation set to auto in Excel Options.
- No VBA functions being used. I can the worksheet summing 1 + 1 and get the error periodically. It does not have to do with the spreadsheet being too complicated.
- Even if I can hit Ctrl-Alt-F9 to force the formulas to calculate, it won't work.
I am trying to get the formula for calculating yearly rental imcome. The range is 10 years and the interest is 34%. The first year payment is 42,000 and the 10th year payment is 56,000. I can't figure out how to do the other years. The principal is 325,000 and the sale value is 425,000.

I have created a spreadsheet to work out deductions from gross weekly pay to give a net amount. I would like to be able to get from a net amount back to a gross amount but am unsure of how to do this.
Deductions are tax and national insurance. A person has a tax code for example 885 meaning they can earn up to 8850 a year before being taxed of 8850/52 a week so anything after 8850 is taxable. There are two tax rates (10% )and (18%). The band for 10% is 10500 per year or 10500/52=201.92 a week. This means any taxable pay above 201.92 is taxable at 18%.
To work out National insurance deductions for an employee, weekly gross amount- 100 x 10% giving the National insurance to be deducted. So Gross - Tax - National Insurance = Net amount.
Attached is a spreadsheet I created to work it out. Firstly does this look okay? Secondly is it possible to get back to the gross amount given ONLY a net amount and a tax code?
I have a problem in saving multiple pdfs from excel. I am posting a sheet here. First sheet has the employee details. Second sheet have the template for payslip. My aim is to save pdfs of templates of all the employee in the list using a macro.
currently i am doing it as
1. In sheet 2, I lookup each employee using the serial number of employees at the top left corner cell of the template.
2. Once the details are updated in sheet 2 i save it as pdf in my desktop.
The problem with recording macro and looping is that the pdfs are overwritting and the last pdf alone is saved. i could not find how to change the pdf name for every loop.
I am trying to calculate payroll. I have 2 columns where regular hours and overtime hours are manually inputed. They are then multiplied by their respective pay per hour columns to come up with regular and overtime pay. The next column adds these to get total gross pay. That gross pay is then multiplied by the FICA and FICA Med factors to figure those taxes(2 different columns). I then have a column the adds all deductions to get total deductions(Fed,FICA,FICAMed,St). The last column subtracts total deductions from the gross pay column to get net income. My problem is the net pay column is $.01 off sometimes.
I think what is happening is I obviously have all columns in dollar amounts with 2 decimal points. Some function columns have multiple decimal points in the answer and then are only showing the 2 decimal points. When those columns are used in the next equation, instead of using the dollar amount that is showing with 2 decimal points, it is remembering the multiple decimal points. This is resulting in being a penny off when I get to the end. How can I get the equations to use what actually shows in the columns(2 decimal points) instead of remembering multiple decimal places?
Each payweek I receive about 600 records some with duplicat names if an ee works overtime. I then look at previous payroll and extract a given account code. Because some ee's work overtime the rows do not always synchronize in count or names.
Any BEST lookup function? Or BEST tool? Is access a more logical option?
We are working on a spreadsheet that would project what our labor cost would be for next week. I need some help in figuring out how to calculate overtime when an employee reaches 40 hours.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSso if you've done payroll before, you may have run into the 53rd instance of a payroll week. Today I've been editing my payroll template to compensate for this occurrence and I've almost got it complete but of all things to mess up on me, a hyperlink is the problem.
I have a legend where I can see all of the payroll week periods, the amount paid, PTO used, etc. And ALL of my payroll sheets are named "Payroll #1", "Payroll #2" ... "Payroll #52" and have a cell on my legend that hyperlinks to cell $A$1 of the corresponding sheet. But when I went to add in this 53rd week, the hyperlink has decided not to work. It will work if I name it anything else, and it will work if I take the # out of the name it will work, but I want to have the # in the sheet name because all other 52 sheets are named thusly and I would rather fix this one link than go back and replace 52 other working links and risk breaking something else.
Here is an example of one of my working links:

I created the Payroll #53 the same way:
Screen Shot 2013-07-30 at 5.42.50 PM.png
But it always resets to this as soon as I try using the link:
Screen Shot 2013-07-30 at 5.42.15 PM.png
And pops up this error:
Screen Shot 2013-07-30 at 5.47.35 PM.png
I do have a VBA Macro that hides both that sheet, and the row referencing Payroll #53 on the legend by using a checkbox. I'm not sure why the # sign is making everything so difficult when there are 52 other hyperlinks that use it also. I tried deleting my macro to see if that was part of the problem but it still refuses to properly create the hyperlink. I also tried rebooting to see if that was part of the problem but it wasn't.
As a side note, this particular cell will not link to any page with a # in the name.
Screen Shot 2013-07-30 at 5.45.51 PM.png
I tried creating the hyperlink on a Windows based machine (since Microsoft is native to the OS after all) and it worked. So it must be a bug or something in the Mac version.
I have multiple departments I need to keep track of multiple numbers with. For example, I need to see the cost of payroll for last fiscal year, vs this fiscal year and have excel show that as a gain (bad) or shrink (good).
I need to track sales this FY vs last FY, obviously, a gain is good and shrink is bad.
Finally, I need to track d&d goods this FY vs last FY.
Where I'm getting held up is, for example last year's payroll was 12000 and this year's is 12500 but next months is 11000 this FY vs 13000. How do I get excel to figure out that payroll decreasing is good and not just do simple subtraction or negative addition thereby allowing me to just plug the numbers in and excel figure out if what I'm throwing at the cell is bad or good comparing to last year?
Also, if I could figure out the if/then to show positive numbers green and negative numbers red that would be quite awesome too.
I need to determine federal tax withholding from gross pay.
If gross amount (for S-0 = single no dependents) is
Over.................But NOT Over............Then Subtract.........And multiply
$0.00...............$195.00.....................$5 1.......................10%
$195.00............$645.00.....................$99 .......................15%
$645.00............$1,482.00..................$351 ......................20%
$1,482.00..........$3,131.00..................$447 ......................25%
$3,131.00..........$6,763.00..................$849 .....................30%
If gross is $400 then what are the total taxes taken out? Could someone please provide a formula?
I tried this one: =IF(M10
I currently have an Excel payroll extract that populates a start date and end date via the calender control 11 user form.
What I have found out is I need to inject some sanity to this application. I can not have users select days that are outside of a pay period.
The users should only be able to select the first or the 16th of the month for a pay period start. Then they can only select the 15th or the 28th/31st for the pay period end.
What I am trying to do is have them select the month and the pay period start date, then the end date would automaticly be selected. But I don't want to have to create a bunch of loops to counter for the differing month end dates or leap years.
I am trying to attempt to create a payroll spreadsheet with certain aspects and with multiple worksheets. so what im trying to accomplish is this
1/ on my main worksheet would have the payroll template there would be 2 columns (1) would be "routes" (2) would be the dollar value of that route.
2/ i want to be able to pick from a drop down list in colume (1) which will have various routes such as A,
B, C, D, E etc
3/ once i have selected a route in colum (1) i want to have the dollar value that is associated to that route to show up in column (2)
ex/ route A worth $1
route B worth $2
create a dropdown list but thats about it, i have not been able to link any values together.
I have a payroll spreadsheet and I want to highlight cells that have hours entered for vacation. For example, in cell E4 I put the job name which is "VACATION" and in cells G4 through M4 I put the hours in for each day. (G4 is Monday, H4 is Tuesday, etc.)
I tried to put a conditional formatting using the following formula ="IF(E4=""VACATION"")" then I chose the fill color however it is not working.
I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?
I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadhseet with various functions on it and what I am trying to do is this.
Cell E4 returns a >35 or <35 true or false value
Cell G4 is either blank or has "Yes" text type into it.
What I am trying to do is get cell F4 to return certain arguments.
E4 = >35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Email Hiring Manager"
E4 = ,35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Wait"
I have a basic IF formula that returns this
=IF(E4>35,"Email Hiring Manager","Wait")
Then if cell G4 is populated with a Yes the formula needs to overwirte the origonal if with the return arguments of
=IF(G4="Yes","Email Agency","Email Hiring Manager")
If yes then what would be Email Hiring Manager (yes will only be input if E4 is greater than 35) will be overwritten with "Email Agency"
Can this be done with two If formulas or does there need to be 3 or more to count if other IF formulas are actually returning a value?
If you have a cell with the value ="2*c2+3" NB: (Notice the ""), then to make excel convert the formula in another cell to =2*c2+3 (notice the removal of ""), so that it can calculate the value of the cell instead of showing a textstring?
I have formulas in a column and they are working unless I edit them to include another function, more cells, whatever, then they display as formulas instead of the result. I've gone to Tools --> Options --> View and the Formulas box is not checked. As well automatic calculation is on not manual.
