SUM Returning 0 - Calculation Set To Automatic And Cell Formatted As Number
Dec 19, 2013
I have this problem where the SUM function is returning 0. The context is this- I am simulating values using RAND() and looking up the values corersponding to probabilities from a different tables. I then use the TRIM function to return the value I need, and the final number is of a "general" format.
This is the formula in the column I wish to sum:
And this is dragged down the column.
When I change the cells using =VALUE(cell) the SUM function then returns the required value. Oddly the SUMPRODUCT function seems to work.
Calculation is set to automatic and the cell has been formatted as a number.

I am trying to return a cell with a simple yes or no answer and having a little difficulty.
I have entered the following formula which is returning #NAME
=IF(E4<=1.25,ORH4<=0.01,yes)
Calculation needs to be as follows:
Install Cost <1.25 and Profit atleast 0.01
The YES NO needs to be in the Invite? column

which will calculate value of a cell when one of the variables has been changed?
To illustrate what I have in mind, an ecxample:
* User can add values to cells using UserForm
- Component name (to Cell "A1")
- Component price (to Cell "B1")
- Component quantity (to Cell "C1")
[Code]....

I'm working on a sheet for our accounting section which has been in use for quite some time, which means, that I'm not supposed to change a hell of a lot in it since it's accounting and everybody is afraid of changes.
Coming to the point, I have the following problem:
(1) I have a date.
(2) I need that date in this format: "mm-yyyy", written in a certain cell.
(3) BUT: the cell should NOT contain the date itself, but JUST the text (some tables in the background need this format)
(4) Changing the cell to text-format is not eligible, since it puts an " ' " in front of the numbers.
(5) The cell should be formatted as a number.
So, in conclusion:
I need a string/number with the date in this format: "mm-yyyy" in the cell formatted .NumberFormat = "0".
I'm working on an existing workbook...
I decided to add some code and a screenshot. This code will return the number, which lies behind the date, and write it into the cell. So that's not what I want, but maybe the code clarifying what I need anyway.
The screenshot shows the wanted output : screenie.png

if the active cell is formatted as number and I write
x = Cells(Row, Column).Value
and the cell is empty or blank, x will be set to 0.
How can I determine that the cell is blank and not actually 0 ?

How can I interrogate the contents of a cell to determine whether or not it contains a number formatted as text? I intend to run a .value = .value over each such cell to convert it to a number format, but I only want to do this to relevant cells.

In attached file, I need to find a way for "y" to be automatically calculated. But for that, "y" needs to first find out which equation to use, depending upon the corresponding entry in first column.
would somebody know how to do it ?
I was trying vlookup, but couldn't.

When i have automatic calculation on, excel freezes. When i push the escape key i get focus back to excel but then it nearly immediatley loses focus again. I have to keep hitting excel to navigate anywhere with excel. By turning calculations to manual it no longer freezes. Is there a way to identify whats causing this freeze, I went through and deleted nearly all events? Why would auto calculate freeze excel if no changes are being made to a formula?

I have largish workbooks (10MB) with a variety of formulas and lookups to generate tables and charts. Calculation is ALWAYS set to Automatic, but sometimes (not always) the formulas fail to update when values are changed. Sometimes F9 will force calculation, sometimes Ctrl + Alt + F9, sometimes (especially with charts) I have to close the workbook and reopen before they will update. The workbooks contain macros but none are running when this happens. A search of your forum indicated that this question has arisen several times before, but I haven't seen a definitive answer.

Is there a way of using VBA to check which calculation option is on - "automatic" or "manual" ?

I am working in a fairly large worksheet, and I realized that when I make changes to it, sometimes some of the cells do no recalculate. The only way I can get them to recalculate is by clicking into the cell, and then hitting return.
The issue is that I don't know which ones are failing to recalculate unless I click into each individual cell and hit return to see if it changes. This would be logistically impossible given the size of my sheet.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

I have several data validation style drop down menus, and I basically don't want excel to recognize changes in these cells and execute a calculation of the entire workbook. Since there is a large number of calculations being performed in the workbook the sheet gets really slow.
Overall the way excel "automatically calculates" really screws me up a lot. This built in functionality could be a lot smarter in my opinion.

I need to average data following the format below by average per week by week/store combination e.g. wk 1/store A average is 6.
Week
Store
Sales
1
A
7
[Code] ..
I can easily use SUMIFS to achieve this, but I have a large amount of data between the weeks of 1-52, a dozen different stores and I will be adding to this. I don't want to have to enter new SUMIFS every time I enter a new wk/store combination. How do I get this info to automatically calculate?

I have written a simple UDF that returns a random number based on another cell value. The problem I am having is when the user pauses the calculation of the UDF(s) or flips between spreasheets (and calculates on the other spreadhseet) - then the UDF returns a #VALUE! result. I presume this is because the code has not finished. Is there a way I can bypass this (or force a calculation if the result is an error value?)

I know how to turn off automatic and manual calculation modes manually in excel or through VB. But is there a way to make the automatic calculation mode ignore changes in certian cells? It would be good if you could right click on a cell and turn this on/off as an option. I assume I will have to code this in vb somehow, but I am a novice. Something like:
Sub test123()
For Cells = Value.Range("I7:R22")
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Like I basically want part of my sheet to be set to manual calculation mode, and partially to automatic...

I have a table with rows that keep growing. But I have place formula in the whole of column F, i.e. F2:F66565. When I import information from MS Access into column A to E, the formula in F does not work, until I copy from F2 to the end manually. I have tried using Tools, Options, Calculation, Automatic. That doesn't work, I have also tried F9, that doesn't work and I have also tried checking Precision as Displayed under the calculation tax in Tools-Options, that doesn't work either.

I have workbooks in which summary tables are generated by lookup formulas. Tables are on different sheets but all use the same lookup value by referring to a cell on the 'master' sheet. The lookup value appears in cells on all sheets, by reference to the master sheet (e.g. [formula] = mastersheet!$B$2).
The master sheet contains the main summary table and is copied and detached for distribution, using a macro. For practical reasons, this is done in two stages, first copying the sheet within the workbook (to make minor alterations), then moving it to a new book to save and distribute.
This is where the problem arises. After the sheet has been detached, we find that if we now change the lookup value on the master sheet in the original file, the tables on that sheet will update normally, but the cells on other sheets remain frozen at the previous value and the tables on those sheets do not update.
The only way round the problem is by Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F9. (Maybe I should add that all my workbooks are always set to automatic calculation.)
The macro itself is not the cause of the problem; if we follow the same procedure manually, the result is the same. However, if we move the sheet in one step, eliminating the intermediate copying stage, the problem does not arise. But this is evading the problem, not solving it, and I would be reluctant to have to resort to this.
The original problem remains as stated, viz. failure of automatic calculation.

I am trying to work out how to automaticaly fill in the next number in a sequence of bespoke numbers like this in column B 1012-0153-70, next 1012-0153-71, next 1012-0153-72 and so on so when i click on the next open cell in column B it adds the next number in the sequence
I have the following VBA code in my Sheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChang()
With Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
If Target.Address = .Address Then
.Offset(-1, 0).AutoFill Destination:=.Offset(-1, 0).Resize(2, 1), Type:=xlFillDefault
End If
End With
but nothing seems to work. i also have the following VBA code on the same sheet:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
End Sub
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
[Code].....

I am looking to write a formula that will return the row or column number of the cell that contains a particular text within the string. I know it can be done with script, but need it as a formula. Also, to add another level of difficulty, I'd like it to be a traditional formula, no special keystroke to activate. It will be used within a much larger formula.Ex. If G5 has the string "CURRENT DATE" in it, and I look for "DATE", the formula would return 7 for the column or 5 for the row.

Please see the attached.
I have put together a sort of hire chart for a charity that hires out scooters/wheelchairs.
All the formulas were done and then they said that they sometimes hire out extra equipment with the chairs as well.
I have created an 'extras' column but I'm having nightmares trying to integrate it into the current formula.
I have just changed the first 3 rows to experiment with.
There is a basic cost of £2 per week or part of a week, that price is regulated from the master page.
Column P calculates the rate from the weeks/days and uses the master page as the source of costing.
I have created a column 'C' for the extras and tried to integrate it into the already complicated formula.
Unfortunately, although it seems to work, it won't work if the cost is lower than £9. At that point, it doesn't matter what I do in column C, it just ignores column C
When it gets to £12 it seems to take notice of column C, very strange.

I had a hard time to put a suitable title to this query, not sure if above is good enough for my query. I am entering combination of text and number in a cell using a formula. I am wondering if it is possible to add formula which can format number such that it is displayed in accounting format. Example:
Expected output = Trial 1,000
Using this formula
="Trial "&Sheet1!A1
where A1 in Sheet1 = 1000
Output is Trial 1000

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do away with the "Exponential" appearance of numbers (in Excel) when they are formatted as text. I am working with National Stock Numbers and there are no required computations based on them being formatted as a number ... AND ... one of my constraints is that they are required to be formatted as text when imported into an Access database ...

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

Now, how to do it with a macro but the problem is i need the invoice to be saved as a template. In the end i need the invoice template to move the invoice number to the next one when opened and when im done with the invoice i need a print button that saves the invoice with contents to a specific folder, clears the contents and saves the invoice with the current invoice number as a template so that next time its being opened it can just adjust the counter.I have done the counter adjustment part .

So the title isn't really totally descriptive but it was all I could come up with. I have a work book that has 30 identical sets of 5 cells for users to enter in information. Some of my users will not need all 30 sets. I'm wondering if there is a way for the user to enter the number of cells they need and have excel then format so they have the desired number, instead of 30. Then have excel change all the instances of this number in formulas so that it matches the new number of cells. I hope I explained this well enough for someone to help.

I have a column who's content is determined via about 6 nested if statements from data on that row. That cell is then conditionally formatted to a certain color based on the text that is ultimately printed from the nested ifs (simply an extra visual legend for the text). All of this contributing info and about 1000 lines items make a very large and difficult to print page. What I am trying to do is a make a summary sheet that simply takes the index number of these 1000 rows and copies or links the conditional formatting of the mentioned cell onto this number on another sheet. I have already linked this status cell and put it adjacent to the index number which works well in that with two columns I can show the index and status but if I could combine the color of the status cell onto the index cell, it would be even better. I am pretty sure another conditional format for this summary sheet would not be possible or be extremely complex since the contents of the index cell I am conditionally formatting have no bearing on the conditions for the format. Was hoping there is some VBA magic that could simply mimic the conditional formatting from one cell and put it on another.

Using 2007, I need to conditionally format a cell colour based on 5 other cell colours that have been conditionally formatted. The 5 other cells will be coloured either red or greem. What I want to do is have an overall status cell that would be show green if all of the other 5 cells were green, amber if 4 of the other cells were green and one was red and red if 3 or more cells are red.
