Psychologist Trying To Make Custom Formula For My Evaluations.

Sep 29, 2007

The test takers are shown three pictures. Under each picture is a number. So for example, let's say there is a plane, a car and a train presented for question #1. Underneath those pictures are the numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Those numbers represent a tendency to a certain occupational field. After 55 questions, we can make a pretty good recommendation of where we think they should look for a job (without going into the specifics of the test).

There are 11 occupational fields. In excel, I make those fields A through K. In field L1 through L55 I put in their answers.

Let's say that in all 55 questions, for example, answering 1, 3, and 5 lead to vocational choice K, I want it to tally it up for me automatically. I don't want to have to count those by hand.

I just want to put in the patients answers, and have excel do the work. I tried using the "countif" function, but it doesn't look like you can add multiple conditions.

I need something that will be like this: add 1 each time (as in a tally) to the cell I choose, for the answers that I specify. So, ultimately, it will be tallying up the answers based on which categories that I correspond them to into the respective cells.

So to be redundant... Let's say that answering 3, 7, and 9 to questions 1, 2, and 3 pertain to cell B. After I put those in, I want cell B to have the number 3 in it.

How To Make A Custom Conversion Program / Formula Between Custom Data

Feb 15, 2014

I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)

What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)

My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.

Formula For Evaluations Due And Past Due Dates

Mar 10, 2014

I have a simple table for tracking performance evaluations with 3 columns:

Employee Name (A), Date of Hire (B), Eval on File (C)

Evaluations are completed 6 months from Date of Hire (1 time) and on an annual basis and logged into column C.

I need to identify a list of evaluations that 30 days past due from the beginning of each month on a monthly basis.

I spent hours breaking the process down into steps (by adding extra columns to calculate 6 month due date, difference between current date and 6 month, due date for current year, and it still takes a long long long time.

There must be an elegant formula there that can tie it all together. I worked hours to research it and failed.

I put a scenario below to illustrate my table. As of 02/01/14, Anna Li's 6 month evaluation is past due, James and Johns' annual evals are past due as well.

Employee NameDOH Perf Eval
Anna Li 6/8/2013No
James Hawkins12/12/200612/12/2012
John Silver 1/8/20071/8/2013
Kim Woo 8/14/20078/14/2013
Sam Shell 6/6/20056/6/2013

Excel 2010 :: How To Make Concatenate To Generate A Text String Using Custom Formatted Value Of A Cell

May 2, 2014

I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that I am using to save several numbers all in the same column. These numbers can range from the several thousands up to billions. The formatting I am using for these numbers is Number (using 1000s separator).

number_forma.png

I am also using the spreadsheet to generate a text string for each of the numbers. I don't want the text string to show the number as it is, I want to shorten the number by only showing the first few digits followed by a "B" for billion, "M" for million, or "K" for thousand. For example, in the text string I want to show 1,600,000 as 1.6B.

In order to shorten the number I use the cell in the column to the right of each number. This cell uses the following custom formatting (which I found by doing a Google search): [>999999999.999]#.0,,,"B";[>999999.999]#,,"M";#,"K";

custom_format.png

As you can see the formatting is quite complex (at least for me it is) but it does what I want it to do.

Here is a screenshot of what the original and custom formatted cells look like:

custom_formatted_cells.png

As you can see the custom formatting works and does exactly what I wan

The next column (after the custom formatted number) is where I put the generated text string for each of the numbers. As I stated above, I want the generated text to use the shortened version of the number (e.g. 1.6B).

To generate the text I use the CONCATENATE function with a reference to the cell containing the shortened number as one of the arguments. For example:

CONCATENATE("SOME STRING ", B1)

Where B1 is the custom formatted cell.

The problem I am running into is, the text that gets generated doesn't show the shortened format of the number, it shows the full number. Here is a screenshot demonstrating what is happening:

concatenate_formula.png

As you can see the generated text is "SOME STRING 1600000000". This is not what I want. I want the generated text to be "SOME STRING 1.6B".

I think I understand what's going on. When the CONCATENATE function references a cell it takes the actual value of the cell and ignores any formatting. (I suppose formatting is just the way you see the data, not how underlying functions receive the data.)

My question is, how can I re-write the CONCATENATE function (or use another function, etc. available to me) to use the formatted version of the cell?

*UPDATE* I have attached my spreadsheet as an attachment to this post (tackyjan_excelforums.xlsx). Please note that it was created and saved using Excel 2010.

Custom Formula Not Recognised???

Dec 9, 2009

I created a formula to stop me from having to do an If statement in the case of an error in one of the variables...I'm pretty sure it work fine in all cases I used yesterday, but today when I use the formula to calculate eCatch (e8+e9,e9) the formula result is #name, even when then e8 and e9 are numbers...the vba is embedded in a module in the excel sheet used, so I'm not sure why its coming up with the error.

Custom Formula =CFORMULA

Feb 20, 2010

I have some custom formula =CFORMULA(...).

I put it in some cell, for example A1.

When this formula executes I have a value, but if some condition in the formula not true I don't want any value. I want the value in A1 to remain the same.

For example:
=IF(C1>5;M1;A1)

If I write like this I have cycling. It is not good. I want just to return the value that already was in A1. I change the =CFORMULA with =IF just to explain the problem.

Actually I have my own formula.

Custom Formula To Count DOW

Feb 9, 2010

I have a set of data being output by a reporting application as XLS data. For each day of business the report is run, I have a set of 100 rows of data. In each of the these rows of data there is a date field and a locationID field.

What I need to do is add a calculated value on each row that specifies the day of the week (MON, TUES, WED, Etc.) and which occurrence of that days of the week it is for the data set. The enumeration of which occurrence of the day of the week (ie. MON-1, MON-1, MON-3) is determined not by how many dates fall on Monday for the data set, but how many Mondays fall between the earliest and latest dates for that location in the data set.

Example:
The data set contains sales data for location XX from 4/6/09 (A Monday) to 4/22/09 (A Wednesday).

The data set contains sales data for location YY from 1/18/10 (A Monday) to 2/9/10 (A Tuesday).

Example:
Location XX's data's earliest date is 4/6/09, it's latest date is 4/22/09
From 4/6/09 to 4/22/09 there occurs:
3 Mondays
3 Tuesdays
3 Wednesday
2 Thursdays
2 Fridays
2 Saturdays
2 Sundays

Location YY's data's earliest date is 1/18/10 it's latest date is 2/9/10
From 1/18/10 to 2/9/10 there occurs:
4 Mondays
4 Tuesdays
3 Wednesday
3 Thursdays
3 Fridays
3 Saturdays
3 Sundays

For all data for location XX, I need to set the new calculated columns to:
Where Date = 4/6/09 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-1
Where Date = 4/13/09 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-2
Where Date = 4/20/09 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-3
Repeat for all dates between min-max date for that location

For all data for location YY, I need to set the new calculated columns to:
Where Date = 1/18/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-1
Where Date = 1/21/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = THU-1
Where Date = 1/25/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-2
Where Date = 1/24/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = THU-2
Where Date = 2/1/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-3
Where Date = 2/4/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = THU-3
Where Date = 2/8/10 & Location = XX, DOW# column = MON-3

Repeat for all dates between min-max date for that location.

A typical data run will have data for 4 or more locations spanning 30-60 days, so figuring out a formula that I can drop onto a column of the exported data so i can run pivot table analysis would be great.

Custom Rounding And IF Statement In One Formula

Aug 3, 2013

Round to Nearest Half Based On Defined Range of Decimal thread.

So here is what happens in the first half of the equation....I round numbers to the nearest half based on a specific range of decimals in the original number. For example if the number in A1 is:

28.0 to 28.399 then rounds DOWN to 28
28.4 to 28.799 then rounds to 28.5
28.8 to 28.99 then rounds UP to 29

For this I am using shg's equation:

[Code] ........

This is all I needed for most of my numbers.....but one part goes one step further.....

NOW THE SECOND HALF......Once the first half of the equation rounds the number above, I need the second half of the equation to then do the following. If the resulting number from the first part of equation above is:

1 through 3 = its own size (1 is 1, 1.5 is 1.5, 2 is 2, 2.5 is 2.5, 3 is 3)
3.5 to 7 = 3
7.5 and above = 4
Resulting number from last part of the formula multiply by 2

So this will end up being only 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, or 4 multipled by 2.

I am pretty sure this second part would be an IF statement (or maybe there is a more efficient way), but I am still learning the ins and outs of that....but I don't know how to use the first formula and add the needed second part into all one formula.

Tracing A Circular Reference In Custom Formula

Sep 25, 2007

I'm working on creating a custom formula that loops through each row of data and performs a range of calculations when a common number appears in a field (payroll number).

The formula is being applied to 2 sets of data, both are similar however 1 has a few more fields.

When I use the custom formula in the 2nd dataset I keep getting a Circular Reference.

I have attached a stripped down version of the whole spreadsheet, which just relates to the part causing the problems.

On the sheet 'Teaching (Yr1)', the calculation works fine.
On the sheet 'Support (Yr1)', the calculation doesn't and Excel prompts with a Circular Reference.

I've tried using the Circular Reference toolbar to trace the predecessors, however it doesn't highlight what they are. All the inputs are blue, and none of them perform any calculations on the cell/column with the formula in it (unless I'm being exceedingly blind!)

Excel gives the following message ...


Originally Posted by Excel

I've spent many hours (probably 10+!) debugging the formula trying to ascertain why it's happening and I'm stumped! I've run through all the named ranges, I've changed the formula and still no success.

What I have noticed though, that for some reason the same formula is 'called' multiple times, in fact 3 to be precise.

When I enable Tools -> Options -> Calculation -> Iteration, the formula calculates, however whenever the spreadsheet does an full calculation, it reverts back to #VALUE!

Formula To Create Custom Auto-Number

Sep 22, 2013

I am creating a custom autonumber in excel. The autonumber will be based on the value of another cell's value. So for eg, in cell A1 will look at B1, if B1 has the number 1, A1 will take B1 and add the autonumber to it, eg a, b, c.

If within, b5 the number is 2. So if the number in the corresponding row in b changes, the autonumber must restart.

I've decided to go with a-z for the autonumber as i realized for .1, .2, .3 is limited to 9 values in the list bec. 1.10 may be read as 1.1

I've tried a few options such as creating a named range, however the problem is getting the autonumber to restart.

Below is what i want to achieve via excel formula:

Column F

Converting Excel Formula To MS Project Custom Field?

Mar 20, 2014

A coworker is setting up an MS Project...project, and adding a custom field that would convert the Start date field into our Fiscal Quarter Fiscal Week schema, to display as FQFW, e.g. Q1W1. I've written the formula in excel, but I've never even touched Project until this week. Apparently it doesn't take formulas quite the same way as Excel does. I tried using the ''Switch" function in Project, and it worked, but it only accepts 14 arguments, and there are obviously 52 weeks we're dealing with. Would there be a way to do this using VBA? (I know next to nothing here as well.)

Formula where A1 is the Start Date:

Code:
=IF(AND(A1>=DATE(2014,2,1),A1=DATE(2014,5,3),A1=DATE(2014,8,2),A1=DATE(2014,11,1),A1

How To Make MAX Formula Smarter

Jul 25, 2014

I'm currently using this formula to show the last date of a entry ie A15, on a 2 different worksheets, the forst worksheet always has a A15 entry and the 2nd worksheet currentmonth! sometimes has and entry.

=MAX(LOOKUP(99^99,currentmonth!A:A/(currentmonth!B:B=A15),currentmonth!A:A),LOOKUP(99^99,mainlogbook!A:A/(mainlogbook!B:B=A15),mainlogbook!A:A))

and if I don't have and entry in this section of the formula (LOOKUP(99^99,currentmonth!A:A/(currentmonth!B:B=A15) which sometimes I don't.

It yields a #N/A Error.

Is there a way to make this formula work if there is no entry of A15 on the currentmonth! worksheet?

Formula To Make A Box A Color

Dec 11, 2007

I need to be able to enter text in a box, and from that box the formula looks at the text to see if it is in within strings of text in any other box in the entire spreadsheet. If the text is there, the box needs to turn green (or any color). If not, it stays the same. The catch is I need the formula to be in a separate box, and the Entered text will be in a blank cell, so the user (who is excel illiterate) will not be confused by the odd formula.

Example:

B1, B2, C2, D4, and D6 will have the items: XXX, YYY, ZZZ
B3 and B4 will have only: YYY

In the "search box" the user will enter XXX

B1, B2, C2, D4, and D6 turn green, while B3 and B4 stay as normal.

If they enter YYY in the search box, all of them turn green.

Custom Transferable Toolbar Of Custom Functions
