What i would like to do is record a cell on sheet1 in sheet2 when it reaches a certain number i.e 2. The cell in sheet1 changes all the time but sheet2 must not refresh. Is this possible with a formula?
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to calculate when a waiting time falls outside and exceptable time period. This is based on two colums of data. The first column contains a number from 1 to 5 and the second a time period. (see attached example) in column "C" I need a formula that looks at the value in "A" and if it equals (1) and the time period in "B" is > 00:02 it should show "EXCEEDED". If "A" does contain a (1) then the code stops otherwise it does another loop of "A" looking for a (2) and a time in "B" of >00:10 etc.

Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.
I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.
Dim n As Double
n = Now()
sn = Str(n)
p = InStr(sn, ".")
first = Left(sn, (p - 1))
l = Len(sn)
d = l - p
S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................
I need formula (not VB) that will add time (0:30 minutes to each working shift) when these times are exceeded:

When a cell changes i would like the cell in the next column to record the date of this change. After achieving this i want to set up conditional formatting to compare this date to the current date and if they are the same then change the original cell's colour to show it changed today!
I started using the code below (from ozgrid) which was working fine BUT my cell value in column A is actually taken from a different column. when the different column cell value changes my cell in A changes but the script below does not seem to see this as a change. it only records the date if i physcially change the cell in A rather than another cell prompting it to change.
based on my overall objective and my plans to date please can someone suggest a solution?
current code below....
I want to enter the word 'Closed' in cell B1 when the due date in cell A1 is exceeded by 272 days. I have tried using conditional formatting and excel accepts the formula but nothing seems to happen. Here is what I have tried;
B1=IF(A1<=NOW()-272,"Closed")
I would like to highlight (conditional format) the "response required by" (Row A) cells / dates if the "current date" (cell $B$2) is exceeded AND if the "response provided By" (Row B) remains BLANK:
Current Date
=Today()
Response Required By
Response Provided By

i have a spreadsheet with different customer names. I want to highlight a row every time a customer name changes. For example: ABC, DEF , i want to highlight where abc ends . Normally i use subtotals, then group them by rows then select visible cells then i highlight every different customer. The problem is that since it is a huge sheet, it takes 30 minutes to do the subtotals. I am not sure if conditional formatting can do this.

I am trying to create a macro that will reference a cell and place a static date and time next to the cell. I want this date and time to only change when the checkbox is clicked.
I have a checkbox in E11 that is linked to F11, I would like to have G11 record the date and time that the checkbox is clicked. I have already tried the following.
What I am trying to do is record the time when a task is completed on the spreadsheet. For explanation sake, lets say I have list of 10 tasks in column C 1-10. In column B 1-10 I have a button for each task. When you press the button for the task, the time it was pressed is recorded in D 1-10. To put the time in I used =now(). The problem that I am having is, when you press button 2-10, it changes the time in the cell above to the same time. So instead of have 10 different times in 1-10, I have 10 identical times,being the last button I pressed. I tried timestamp, time value, etc

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble while trying to use a variable in a cell reference. I have a sheet that is being used to record the time and date of data entered into the workbook. This sheet is divided into columns, each designated to a specific type of data. I have written a macro to enter the current time in the correct column, but that macro is embarrassingly long and complicated because I used a series of if statements to handle all the different data being entered. I'm trying to simplify by using vlookup, and assigning the column value to a variable, and inserting that variable into the cell reference.
Here is the line I need to insert a variable into:
Sheets("Current").Cells(Rows.Count, columnstart).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = Now()
Where columnstart is my variable. It is an integer, but it's value will change depending on the type of data being entered.
I ran a Home Service Massage, with ten massagers and it's continually growing. I know I'm supposed to use a database for this, but I'm not very good in creating one. I am however confident in using MS Excel, so in a much as possible, I only want to use MS Excel, and strictly use formulas (if I can get away with it).
Anyway, I keep customer records in one tab, and all their personal info is listed there. There are two types of columns, which I'd like to call 'static' and 'automatic'.
Static columns includes Unique ID (number), Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.
Automatic columns, by the term I used, is filled automatically. This includes the total number of hours they have availed the massage from us, the names of massagers who serviced them, --- and my biggest issue --- the date of last massage. I can manually input this, but I normally forget, so I want this filled automatically.
Aside from customer tab, I have one tab for each massager. First column is the date, then 48 columns for time. Starting from 8AM, 830AM, 9AM... 730AM. Hence I have 48 of them. Each column is equals to 30mins of massage availed. I copy and paste the Unique ID from customer tab.
so A2:A32 are dates, and B2:BC50 is where I copy paste the unique ID. B1:BC1 are time labes.
Is it possible for me, just by using formulas, to populate the 'last massage date' column?
I would like to get number of cells since the cell value exceeded a given number in a given range of numbers.
example
cell address cell value
a1 1
a2 1.9
a3 -1.2
a4 4
a5 3
I would like to know number of cells since value was less than 1 : the answer is 3 (a5,a4,a3)
Number of cells since number has exceeded 3: the answer is 2 cells back ie a5,a4
I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.
What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.
I have 2 sheets having name DB and Limit. In DB sheet i enter data and in Limit sheet I check each ID avalable Limit I want to ask if it is possible that a macro checks available limit in Limit sheet when I enter values in DB Sheet in Columns C & D and gives me warning message if entered values in DB sheet exceed from available limit in Limit sheet ....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm struggling with an alternative method of suppressing the # DIV/0 in my worksheet. I'm familiar with the ISERROR function and it's use as well as using =IF(A2=0,"",A1/A2), however I'm still getting #DIV/0 errors and I can't use ISERROR because
I have exceeded the number of nested IF's.
I've attached an example. In the example, the only time the #DIV/0 appears is when "Y" appears in the Commit and In-House column for all rows. This is the condition I'm trying to suppress the #DIV/0 error for.
All the formula's I'm using are Array Formula, as are all my attempts to suppress the error....
I hope the title makes sense. I have a spreadsheet that I'm trying to use to calculate volumes of liquid. For each liquid there is a minimum and maximum amount that can be included in a vial, and a checkbox to indicate if it should be included or not. What I'm having trouble with is some logic (other than a million if= statements) to determine the amount of each needed.
If only a few are selected, using the max value for each is fine as it is below the volume of the vial, so I want to use the max. But if enough are selected, the max for each would exceed the volume of the vial, and I want to pick a percentage of each component's range until we get a volume that will fit in the vial (ie, it figures out that 84% of the max for each will fit, but knows never to drop below the min).
I am trying to find a way to identify the nmber of periods where a particular value is exceeded.
Basically I have daily data on sales for 40 years and I would like to define a level of sales i.e. 23 units per day and a period i.e. 10 days and then output the number of times where the recorded sales level is greater than 23 units per day for 10 or more days.
Ideally I would like it so the sales level and period can be set in reference cells and the formula can adapt to different sales levels and periods.
The data is formatted as follows: ...

I have been trying to do an if statement but need to choose between 10 options:
In Column AA I could have any one of the following 10 text entries - In column AB I need to return 8, 4, 2, 1 or 0.5 depending on which is in AA (this column AA cannot be sorted nor are people willing to cut back to 5 options )
"Very High" returns 8
"Very High (>50)" returns 8
"High" returns 4
"High (>20)"returns 4
"Medium" returns 2
"Medium (>10)" returns2
"Low" returns 1
"Low (>5)" returns 1
"Very Low" returns 0.5
"Very Low (<1)" returns 0.5
naturally the following IF statement won't work as I have exceeded the limits
Which exceeds the level of nesting allowed.
My formula is as follows:
=IF($J$55=C73,O73,IF($J$56=C73,O73,IF($J$57=C73,O73,IF($J$58=C73,O73,IF($J$59=C73,O73,

I'm trying to find a macro that will run allowing the user to select a 'starting record number' and a 'finishing record number' when printing.
I have a spreadsheet that feeds from a master list in excel, from over 5000 records.
I need to print the s'sheet with any given indivdual record's information at any given time.
Individual prints are fine. However if I wanted to print from record number 1500 to record number 3000 it would take me all day.
Is there a way I can set up a macro so an option form pops up? allowing selection of "From record" and "to Record" ?
I have an Excel macro which works well in comparing two columns A and B. It populates column C with unique values in A and not in B, populates column D with unique values in column B and not in A and puts the values found in both A and B in the fifth column (E).
Data in the columns A and B of Sheet 1 has exceeded 1,048,576 (the maximum allowable in Excel 2007) and i will copy the overflow data in Sheet 2's column A and B and i will like the comparison to continue in the next worksheet.
I need the macro to treat the second worksheet as a continuation of the first sheet and not as a separate data. (The values i am comparing have exceeded 1million).
Sub twocols()
Dim d As Object, na&, nb&, a, b
Dim e, p&, q&, r&, m
Set d = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
[Code] .......
The added piece I now need to put in is how many times a cell value is changed in a day (I will add to a macro to return it to 0 at the end of each day). The way in which I would approach this is by using a combination of a cell_change and count function. Could I ask somebody to advise if this is the best way?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel worksheet full of data. I would like to search in a specific column for cell that contain "xyz". If found cell = xyz, then I want to delete the whole record or row.
Is there a formula or option to do this?
I am currently looking at each record and deleting it manually. With a worksheet of more than 2000 records, this become a huge task!
Could it be possible to "sequentially offset" a vlaue, say, of A1 such that, for instance, when A1 changes from "5" to "6" (via formula, not direct input), A1=6 and, say, B1=5, and so on? You know, like keeping a value record of A1, one step back, in B1.
This would be UNBELIEVABLY valuble to me. Thus, would I be in eternal debt to he/she who would resolve this here.
