I have come across this only a couple times and have tried in vain to find out what the "--" does in formulas
one example I have run accross in the forums is below
= SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER( FIND("SMS",A1))))
Also, is there a good refrence source for formulas like this?
I've just seen a formula with two - (minus) signs right next to each other placed before a section in a formula while reading possible answers to my post. Here is the link: Understanding this formula. I've seen it before and am intrigued as to why it is there and what it actually does. Assume it is used such: = --(1+2). Would the answer then not be =--3 = 3?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently saw Krishnakumar use the formula.
= sumproduct(--(a2:a10=d2),--(b2:b10=e2),c2:c10)
I haven't seen sumproduct used this way. Very cool. I see how it is working, but can anyone tell me more about the syntax of the dash dash used in array 1 and array 2? I have never seen this. How is it different than =SUMPRODUCT(1*(A1:A9=G1),1*(B1:B9=H1),C1:C9), which is the syntax I'm used to seeing.
I want to find the min and max numbers within a thread of numbers that has both positive and negative values. The key is that I want the smallest amount or the largest amount based on the number and not on the positive or negative.
For example, below is my list of numbers.
7
5
2
-5
-6
7
-8
-3
I want the min formula to return 2 and the max formula to return 8.
This is something that's been bugging me for the last few hours.
I've written a fairly simple VBA
I'm currently trying to put together a rather large application to automate a release procedure.
Somewhere in a procedure I have the following
'previous code...
WS.Columns(8).Select
Selection.Copy
WS.Columns(1).Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
WS.Columns(1).NumberFormat = "General"
End Sub
The WS is defined in the beginning of that sub as follows:
Dim WS As Worksheet 'iSpares sheet
Set WS = Workbooks(FrmReleaseFlow.Caption).Worksheets("iSpares")
whereas the FrmReleaseFlow is a userform, active at that time, the caption contains the filename currently working on (in NAME.XLS format, no path), the file is open and the sheet iSpares exists...
The problem is that the code in above procedure gets executed to just that line and then the sub exits and the program continues in the sub right after this sub was called...
The weird thing is, if I set a breakpoint on the line WS.Columns(8).Select, then the execution halts there. If I then continue, the other lines are not executed. Breakpoint on the other four lines are never seen...
So the problem lies within that line WS.Columns(8).Select ...
If I execute this command in the Immediate window, while the code is halted on a breakpoint, it does work as it should...
If I enter anything in a cell on one work book I get calculating cell for about 3-5 seconds.
I don't have any formulas looking at the book. and I have deleted, renames, copy and pasted, exported to text and reimported and still it does it.
The thing that is odd though is that if I press return again it clears the calulation cells message.
I have a macro that uses user input to locate a file. If no file is found matching the user input, a message box displays informing the user. However, if a file is found that matches the user input, the file should simply open. If a file is found, the macro successfully opens the file however it will still display the message box saying no file is found. Since the message box is triggered by an error, there must be another error I haven't accounted for in my code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Private Sub CrmFrm1_Click()
If Len(TextBox1) <> 12 Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Case File Number"
FrmNew.TextBox1.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
Dim MyCase
MyCase = Dir("S:AccountingProbationTest Files" & FrmNew.TextBox1.Value)
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:AccountingProbationTest Files" & FrmNew.TextBox1.Value
Unload Me
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "No file found for this Case Number." & Chr(13) & "Please proceed to Template.", 0, "No File Found"
Unload Me
Exit Sub
End Sub
to ensure the user ends up looking at UserForm5 after having closed the UserForm2 with the x sign.
It works just great - the user gets logged on and can use the UserForm2 but when he/she closes the form with the cross and tries to lo on aner using the UserForm5 - which pops up autmatically due to the above code, both of the UserForms get cloed (or hidden).

I have a large dataset (24000 rows) that requires me to multiply two different columns of integers. In some cases, the two integers are both negative and multiplying them results in a product that is positive. I actually need that product to be negative rather than positive. I can't quite seem to figure out the best way to accomplish this.

To make matters worse the problem can not be duplicated on any regular frequency that i am aware of............so its not like i can post a file that will show the problem.............
My sub is supposed to take the values from Sheet1 and paste them into 16x10 tables on Sheet2. However, for some odd reason, the loop is skipping some rows. If you take a look, there are 2184 values in Sheet1, but only 1368 end up in Sheet2...SKUs such as 518166,518167,510573,513746,513752 are just being skipped for no reason.

I have data that comes from a subsytem that places the negative sign at the right of the number, so it is recognized as text. I can get around this using find and replace and then a second step to multiply that by -1, but is there a formula that can do this for me?
I was trying if(right(A1,1)="-",TBD,A1)
I have data starting in E7. I want it to go down the column and find the negative numbers. If it finds one then I want it to change the number in the row to the left of it to a negative. So if E67 is a negative number, make D67 a negative and so forth down the line Sounds "simple" but how do I do it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've found a cell that replicates another cell on the same sheet. If any number or text is entered, its replicated as text, but if I enter a formula in the cell, the cell works normally. There's no conditional formatting, no links, no macro, no nothing that I can see, yet it happens.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Now for this example I need to sum column B if A=Steeves and C=NY.
In this example it would return 25.
Is it possible to enter double inequations? Excel returns "false" even it is obviously true. If I type =1<2<3 the result is "false".
I can get the correct result using =and(1<2,2<3), but that makes it longer, and if I have more formulas inside instead of numbers I'll have to repeat the middle one, it will take the place, but only in oreder to compare it again.
Is there anything that can be done with this?
