When we sell things here at a 'sale' price there is always an argument as to who's department needs to give the discount off.
Each job we do has a labour time and an hourly labour rate.
Each part has a profit in it.
So if something is normally £100 but we are going so sell it for £80 we need tio split the £20 reduction evenly to both departments based on the GP each department has in the sale.
I have a problem where I extended a formula down to over 40,000 records which has increased the file size substantially. I only need it to scroll down to a few thousand rows now that I realized that there is alot less data to populate the worksheet. Is there any way to get it back to a scroll range that is more modest in size?
I have a total at the bottom of my spreadsheet and I want to distribute that total equaly to the missing columns for each month and each product highlighted in green in the spreadsheet. What formula do I need to use to be able to do that?
At the end I want the numbers in each month to total the total at the bottom.
I need a formula to do two things I need it to look at Cell C2 and if it does not contain a number then I want the letter A put in the cell, if it contains a number then if that number is divisible by five giving a whole number i.e like 10,15 20 would, then input 1, but if not 2.
I don't know how else to ask this so I will just tell you what I'm trying to do.
-I have a list of name on one column say "A" and this list of names goes through "A1" through "A145"
-I am taking those names and pasting them via "right click" "paste special" "Values" onto another spreadsheet.
-BUT I have to take each name one by one and paste them evenly in every 8th row for example ( "A1" A8" "A16" "A24" ...)
-Is there a way to take the existing data on that row and just spread it evenly throughout the same row? So I don't have to take names one by one by one...
I am currently tracking our company's service tasks in Excel and would like a formula or method that will take the total hours a task has been approved for and equally distribute the hours into columns under each month.
Column A = Resource Column B = Task Owner Column C = Task Name Column D = Task Description Column E = Approved Hours Column F = Start Date Column G = End Date Column H = Jan 07 Column I = Feb 07 Column J = March 07 etc. etc.
I basically want to take the approved hours (Column E) and have those hours automatically calculated and filled into the month columns (Column H forward), as per the start and end date fields (Column F & G) so the hours are evenly distributed over each month.
How to increase & decrease numbers evenly for a spreadsheet.
I have a number in cell F16 that can be changed and for this example say it has a value of 900. I have a number in cell F17 that is always more than cell F16, for this example lets say it is 1000.
What I'm trying to do is create 10 numbers evenly increasing away from 900 (F16) in value, & 10 numbers evenly decreasing in value away from 900 (Cell F16) but here's the catch.
What makes this tricky is that the numbers that are increasing in value away from 900 (F16) can't be bigger than the value of F17 , IE in this example the number 1000
So the formulas must evenly distribute 10 numbers BETWEEN 900 & 1000. This must have the same even distribution for the increasing numbers & decreasing numbers.
I'll attach a sheet also. So, if you say 900 is a starting point & 1000 is the ending point, what formulas would you need in each cell to evenly increase to 1000?
Also,, going the other way, decreasing, away from 900 at the same rate as the increase?
Really stuck n this 1. Spreadsheet here: [URL] ...... Screenshot here: [URL] ......
I am using a staff schedule spreadsheet and have each column displaying text of where a staff person is assigned.
Instead of displaying the word "lunch" separately across several columns, is it possible to merge several columns and have the word "lunch" automatically stretched evenly across the several merged columns?
I dont want it to be centered but to literally be stretched to fit evenly across all of the merged cells.
I built a workbook that is used by our account team to summarize account status. Each worksheet has several cells that use conditional formatting to call attention to the status reported in that cell. Each manager sends their worksheets to a Senior manager who then consolidates into a single workbook containing approximately 50 worksheets. Once consolidated, the file size has grown to over 12 Mb and this needs to be reduced to a more manageable number, preferable 4 Mb or less. Prior to buliding the new version of this workbook, the file size was less than 2 Mb.
I have removed the Macros and believe the size is due to the conditional formatting in each worksheet.
Once the worksheets are compiled, is there a way to remove the conditional formatting and save the existing format - Similar to a "Paste Values" function? The senior manager does not need to change cell value to the formatting of the worksheet he receives could be saved.
To be specific - one cell turns has no color if the value is 10 or less, is yellow if 11 - 15, and Red if 16+. Once sent to the manager, the variance in this cell is not needed; he only needs to see the color associated with the value when sent. Next week he will receive an updated worksheet and a new value will be entered. The conditional formatting is only needed by the individual preparing the original worksheet.
I am a big fan of huge files (30MB+) all interlinked with array formulas ...and lots of them. The problem is...one calculation take literally 5 hours. (I have one file I try to calculate since cca 4 hours now...it's at 63%)
I keep getting extra memory with no visible improvement on the processing time. Is there a trick out there that I can use? Something is clearly wrong.
I feel I will soon have to give up Excel, or my formulas, or my job ...
The lookup should perform once to find the cell of interest. Subsequent value update should not trigger additional scans. Is this case? If not, how do I cut down the time on the look up?
I got a CD with pricing and (high resolution) pictures (for printing). I've built the search/display macros for displaying a page on the net, so all I want to do is reduce the pics (Adobe Photoshop) to save memory - easy, right? Why can't I get the pics out of excel for work in Photoshop? I've done the tools>options>General tab>ignore other applications (clear) thing. I've done the "shift>edit>copy picture" or "right-click>copy" thing - but I can't paste anything anywhere. What's up? I didn't think I was this bad, but I guess I am; life is humbling.
I currently have an excel file with lots of formulas on quite a few pages and these are carried down for so many records - its sort of a template to generate information from/to certain sheets for many other purposes.
- is there any way to compress the file (without actually zipping it) as it must remain a working document?
My excel file has grown to 23Mb. It has around 10 worksheets and a similar number of userforms. Because the file is large, it slows down the VBA code when it encounters a save command. Is there any way I can improve this? Do userforms use alot of memory or is it the length of code? There are a few images on the userforms but the images are less than 1 Mb in total when all added together.
I have a column with numbers in about 500 rows. The entries are 5 numbers long and others 8. So I thought i could use one of the following: A macro code to tell a cell to delete the first 3 numbers if the entry is 8 numbers long?
OR
A macro code to tell a cell to reduce itself to 5 digits long starting from the right? Attached is a small example
I have been building a spread sheet data base which I think is pretty simple.
It now has quite a few formula's and is taking time to calculate when I add data.
I have tried to simplify some formula's and get rid of complex one's that can be replaced with simple ones... Is there any advice or suggestions for reducing the calculating time..?
I have the following code in a User form and I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the number of lines that are highlighted, but obviously still get the required results!
Private Sub cbSearch_Click() Dim Product As Range Set Product = Sheets("Master").Range("A1:A300").Find(Val(tbLookFor), lookat:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues) If Product Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Incorrect Product code, try again" Else 'Populate the userform with data tbData1 = Product.Offset(0, 1) 'Down 1 row, over 1 column tbData2 = Product.Offset(0, 2) tbData3 = Product.Offset(0, 3) tbData4 = Product.Offset(0, 4) tbData5 = Product.Offset(0, 6) tbData6 = Product.Offset(0, 7) tbData7 = Product.Offset(0, 8) tbData8 = Product.Offset(0, 9) tbData9 = Product.Offset(0, 10) tbData10 = Product.Offset(0, 11) tbData11 = Product.Offset(0, 12).....................
I need to take every 4th data point from an array of several hundred (col A) and place the reduced array in a new column (col B). I initially tried approaching this in VBA and then tried excel, but to keep it simple i won't show the code that didn't work.
Col A Col B 5.001 5.001 5.002 5.802 5.001 5.951 5.003 5.802 5.805 5.801 5.804 6.951 6.950 6.952 6.951
I have a cell with 200+ character, I only want the 40 first character is there a function that will give me only those 40 first character or do I have to use a "=len" and manually remove the extra characters?)
