Copying data from one spreadsheet to another using +, then sorting that data in multiple levels...problem...need to make each cell in the copied table FIXED...ie, +a3 to +$A$3...is there a shortcut to entering each cell by hand?
View 2 RepliesI often use feet and inch inputs for calulations. I prefer to input a typical feet & inch input into one cell using this format: ft-n.
example: 12ft 9in would input as 12-9
This would need to be converted into a decimal for calcualtions. Also I would like to convert from Decimal back to ft-in.
I'm trying to produce a fixed format pivot table in Excel 2010. Normally I'd just construct a manual table using COUNTIFS, SUMIFS etc, howver, for this exercise the requirement is to be able to click on any field and have a tab pop up with the relavent data a la Pivot Table. But....I need the Pivot table to have a fixed format (which I can do with 'Preserve cell formatting on update') and to have all of the rows and columns in irrespective of whether there is data or not (i.e. if I haven't sold any apples in June, I still want the 'Apples' field to appear, just with a value of zero). I had assumed that the option I needed was 'Show items with no data on rows/columns' but these options are greyed out. I've tried right-clicking on the whole table, on individual fields and on labels but still get the same greyed out options.
Is there any way I can retain all of the rows and columns?
Excel 2010. I need to place picture into one cell or one big merged cell, as a background fill. picture must resize to size of cell. must be fixed in, not in front. i still need write into that cell, so it needs to be really background.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to make a excel document in which I have length and width in feet and inch format.
E.g. 10.01 in which 10 is feet and .01 is inch
I have all the length and width values in the above format. And what I want to do is convert the inch value (10.01) to feet value (.01=.08 feet) .
Just like the calculator here does.. [URL] ........
Like
10.01=10.08
10.02=10.16
10..03=10.25
...and so on...
Here is table of conversions from inches to decimal feet. But I don't know how to get a formula for this in excel...????
Inch Decimal of a Foot

In the attached file, i want to select the range from cell B8 (which is fixed), to used range i.e. till Cell F18 (but the problem is, cell F18 is not fixed). Last used row or column can change. I want to do it by using VBA.
Here is the sample file Select Range.xlsm
I want to count the number of rows from a fixed cell (eg. $A$2) to a "named cell" (eg. "Department Winn").
Is there a way to put a hyperlink in a cell using a shortcut? In my case i have names in column (last name, first name.pdf). This naming convention is the same as the file folder i am linking this cell to. Instead of right-clicking on the cell for all 600 names and "insert hyperlink" and button down to the file, is there a better more faster way to do this? Say all the names 1-600 are A1:A600.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have about 20 choices I'd like a user to select from and have the text output to a single cell.
Just create a Data Validation List? Yeah, but that only allows you to select ONE of the items in the list -- I want to select as few as zero and as many as all 20, combining the resulting text into a single string - space or comma delimited.
My first thought was checkboxes, but all I can seem to figure out is how to get ONE of the results into the cell, meaning I'm better off with the Data Validation List because it's easier.
Especially since I need to repeat this for as many as 200 or 300 lines,
If cells in column J are not blank, values in column K must be copied from column I.
If not, i.e. cells in column J are blank, values in column K must be copied from column I + the fixed value in cell $C$2.
Can't get "if" nor "notblank" formula working.
I want to insert a new row that contains the formulas of a fixed row (1:1).
The inserted row is changeable and is determined by whichever is the current active cell.
Eg:
Active cell is something random like E16
I want to add a new row but don't want a blank row - rather want a row that contains the properties of 1:1
What is the keyboard shortcut for highlighting cell? Can a frequently-performed task be assigned a keyboard shortcut by user? If it is done by VBA
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy sales spreadsheets have a column which is turned to 100% when the order comes in (i.e. when the salesman gets it in his commission). I have applied conditional formatting to turn the whole row green when this happens (for ease of seeing which orders are in)
We also have a cell for the Purchase Order "number" (as these come from the customer, these can be a straight number sequence - "12345" or a mix of letters and numbers - "ABC12345"). My boss would like this cell to be red if the "order in" column is at 100%, but there is no PO number.
However, when I put in the formatting:
(1) =$K$15=1 (to turn the row green)
(2) Cell Value is equal to 0 (to turn the cell red)
it will apply (1) no problem, but will only apply (2) if (1) is false. (i.e. if (1) is true, the whole row goes green, with no red in the PO box.)
If I switch them round (i.e. have (2) first), then I get the formatting that I want (i.e. green row with a red box), but if (1) is false, I still get a red PO box.
What I need is a way of only applying (2) if (1) is true. (or any other way of only making the PO box red if the order is 100% but there is no PO number)
I'm working on a sheet. i should have blue and black font colors random. if i can have macro shortcut for blue and black, would save loads of my time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to divide hard coded financial data by a named cell that will allow me to toggle viewing the financial data in dollars, thousands of dollars, and millions of dollars. I have named my toggle cell _000s and I have used Go To Special to highlight all of the hard coded data in my financial spreadsheet. Once I have done this I would like to Copy my _000s toggle and divide the hard coded values by this cell. I am using copy and then paste special divide by but I am having no luck with this tactic.
faster more efficient way to go about this rather than individually changing each hard coded item?
I know that the shortcut for moving the cursor to cell A1 of an active sheet within a workbook is Ctrl + Home. However, I thought there was a shortcut (using just keystrokes) to do this for all the sheets within the workbook. Is there such a shortcut?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have rather large Excel file that spans around 245 columns & has multiple users responsible for certain columns. Columns are chunked to provide data about a specific group. Every 72 hours, I need to provide to managers what’s currently on this file in a specific summary format.
I’ve recorded a macro that gets me half way there. Here’s where I’m clueless. After my macro deletes unnecessary columns, what remains are the columns for “Main Data” group + each of the 5 “Business” groups (Investors, Lawyers, Credit, Finance, and Support) which would have identical column headings.
(1) Name (2) Address (3) ID# (4) Control#
Furthermore, for each of the 5 “Business” groups, there are 9 slots (ie- a user can enter up to 9 unique entries for a particular group.)
Example- The Investor group contains 9 slots. Each slot will contain the 4 columns mentioned above. So there are 46 slots in total – 1 for Main Data, 45 (5 groups x 9 slots) for Business groups.
MAIN DATA (columns A-D)
Investor1 (columns E-H)… Investor2 (columns I-L)… Investor9 (columns AK-AN)
Lawyer1… Lawyer9
Compliance1… Compliance9
Finance1… Finance9
Support1… Support9
MY PROBLEM: I need a macro to now cut & paste all data from each of the 45 Business groups slots & then paste at the bottom of the MAIN DATA slot.
The final file would be 4 columns (as listed above) wide. Data from each of the 45 business group slots would be one below the other- all of it underneath the data in the Main Data group.
I attempted to record a macro where I’m copying a section’s data range starting from row2 to row4000 (I know there will never be 4000 entries. I did this just to ensure that all future data would be captured) then pasting that after the last entry in the Main Data.
Example- I’d copy data from Investor1 slot(starting at column E2-H2) & go about 4000 rows down. Then I’d press CTRL+Down Arrow key in column A & then click the down arrow one time to take me into 1st empty cell where I would paste my copied data. I was going to repeat this process for the remaining 44 slots.
I’ve added some extra entries to test the macro & the problem is that the recorded macro is pasting data in specific cell location in column A instead for looking for the 1st empty cell in column A & then pasting the copied data.
So far I've gone thought the net & tried to paste in a few VBA posts/tips that I thought would work. Here's what I have so far from tinkering around.

I am using the following code to add an item to the right click " cell" shortcut menu.
I placed it in a Worksheet_Activate module in ThisWorkbook. I'm pretty sure the code is correct but it seems something is preventing the code from executing properly because no item is added to the menu. Is there some setting in a workbook that might prevent changes to the right click menu from being made? How can I get this code to execute properly?

I am wondering if it is possible to create a formula in a cell that will divide whatever number is entered into that cell by a set or fixed number.
ie. I enter the number 9 in the cell and when I press enter, the 9 is instantly divided by 15 and the answer is displayed in the cell where I just typed the 9.
I have a workbook with two worksheets,
sheet 1 contains student data, name dob, actual age, raw score and an empty column standardized score
sheet 2 contains a conversion table, using the actual age from sheet one you locate the age in the top row of table in sheet 2, and using the raw score from sheet 1 you locate the matching raw score from the first column of the table in sheet 2, going down and acrosss until you meet this gives you a standardised score
i want the standardized column in sheet one to fill by using a formula which looks at the table in sheet two locates the two values and returns the result.
If you have a data in two dimensional table. and you need to fill each cell with the value returned from another table.
Example : this the my table
Company A Compay B Company C Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
Product 4
and this my data :
Products Companies Price
Product 1 Company 8 Product 1 Company A 7 Product 1 Company B 5 Product 1 Company C 6 Product 2 Company B 6 Product 2 Company C 9 Product 3 Company A 10 Product 3 Company B 8.8
For instance I have a formula such as =sum(A1:A9). But imagine that the range is not always till row 9 but depends on the total number of rows that are in the table. How can I change that 9 so that it takes a number equal to the total rows in the table?
The final formula I want is not that simple one. It is actually
=INDEX($F$1:$F$1047,MATCH(1,INDEX(($G$1:$G$1047=G2)*($L$1:$L$1047<>"47200")*($L$1:$L$1047<>"47700"),0),0)).
I want to change 1047 by the relevant number of rows. Also, I do know how to do it in VBA, but I have a problem with the length of the formula there (not that one, but other bigger than that)
I'm trying to calculate the Depreciation of the fixed asset for some items. I've tried the formulas that came with Excel but i don't know its not working or not give the correct value
so I attached a file as an example what I'm trying to have is
1- straight line method along the asset life
2- salvage must be ( 1 )
3- if the purchase date is equal to or before the middle of the month (14-15/02/2004) so the start of depreciation have to start from the beginning of the current month ( Feb) but if the date excess the day 15 ( 16/02/2004) the middle of the month , the the depreciation must start from the next month.
I'm trying to create a vb to get all columns on my sheet to have a fixed width.
If I run my sub all columns go back to the set width. But I want the width to reset when the width is changed.
I am trying to create a string of text that grabs info from other cells, which is easy so for example
=A1&A2&A3
would grab all the info from the 3 cells and merge them to create a string, but what I want to do is create a prefixed length.
Lets say A1, A2 and A3 would equal 10 characters in total but B1, B2 and B3 would equal 7 characters, these would be different lengths. so for a visual description I would like them to appear like this
At the moment
01MAIN-HELLO
01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
Would like
01MAINXXX-HELLO
01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
This would make both strings the same length and would make it easier for me to export to a custom file that needs a certain length prefix.
I have open a workbook and copy the data from that workbook to another workbook.

We have a charging system that fixes anything under an hour to 1 hourly rate, then after that we charge in 15min incremental blocks charged at 0.25 of an hour now we need to automate it to make it more econmical. The rate is set at the beginning of each job sheet and the times are inserted in order to get the total minutes worked & what to charge, eg: agreed rate per hour = $A. time1 = 11:45am & time2 = 12:30pm which is 45 minutes total however its under 1 hour so its gets charged at the minimum hourly rate of $A. if total time happened to be 61mins then it would be charged at 1hr 15mins which is ($A x 1.25)
View 3 Replies View RelatedIm new to excel and problem regarding the sumproduct function.
I have three columns in my sheet1, column A and column B contain 1000 numbers.
Hence, column A goes from A1 to A1000 and column B from B1 to B1000.
In the first row of column C, i want to use sumproduct on A1:A5 with B1:B5.
My problem arises when I want to drag the formula down, in the second row of column C I want
to use sumproduct on A6:A10 with B6:B10 but the formula uses A2:A6 with B2:B6.
Is there a way to fix the ranges when I am using sumprodct so it takes "fixed" ranges like every fifth,
A1:A5 with B1:B5 , A6:A10 with B6:B10, A11:A15 with B11:B15 and so on.
I have a sheet with a number of different columns, is there a way that when data is input into a cell in the first column that it time stamps the last column on the same row, and this time stamp is fixed. Then when data is input into the cell below the same thing happens, so i can have a time stamp for each entry.
