Simple Formula Returning Odd Result

Jun 10, 2009

I have a reasonable grasp of Excel and this has me completely stumped. Three cells hold numeric values (format General though the format seems not to change the result)

C4 = 4082322.25
D4 = 4046689.05
E4 = 35633.2

Another cell contains the simplest of formulae ...
F4 = "=C4-D4-E4"

Clearly the result should be zero.
In fact the result is (to 15 decimals) ...

0.000000000189175

HOWEVER
If I change F4 formula to "=C4-E4-D4" the result is zero.

Simple Macro - Copy Result Of Formula

Dec 14, 2009

I am trying to implement a simple macro. Here is my
Function Age(DOB)
Age = Int((Now - DOB) / 365)
End Function

Sub Macro1()
Age (Selection)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
******
End Sub

The function basically calculates the persons age using their date of birth. What I need to know is how to copy the result of the function into the cell next to the selected one. (The code above only selects the adjacent cell).

Lookup Formula Not Returning The Corresponding Result

Apr 6, 2007

I have a data table, A1:J22. The purpose it serves is to align and compare data from other tables, so the data contained within it is all cell references and contains many #N/A values. Also, and most importantly, not all of the columns are populated with data. The first row is a text header row and the first column is numeric and adjusts according to the value in A2. I have an additional column at the end of the data table, yet apart from it, which contains an array formula to provide me with the maximum value of each row and to circumvent the #N/A's, =MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(B2:J2),B2:J2,"")). I am trying to write a formula that will return the corresponding "header" of the result of this formula. Everything I have tried thus far, primarily variations of Lookup and Index/Match formulas, seemingly defaults to the header of the last column containing data.

Returning Header Row As A Result

Mar 3, 2006

i just want to know what function will i use to return a header row as
a result. I have a worksheet consisting of lists of images arranged in
columns by subfolder; the name of the subfolder serves as my header.

Now, i have another list of images and i want to crosscheck this list
to my worksheet to know where these images are located or in what
subfolder/s are they included.

my table looks like this:

1 Sub1 Sub2 ... Sub20 (header row)
2 img1 img101 img201
. . .
. . .
img100 img200 img300

what i want is: if i search for img150...the result would be
Sub2(header row)

Recursive Loop Function Not Returning Result

Sep 20, 2007

I'm currently working on a program in which some sort of recursive looping seems logical.

The relevant part of the code I've currently written looks like this:

Sub hello()

Dim Max_stream As Integer
Dim j, jj As Integer
Dim P_sum, P_min As Double
Dim antal_in, antal_ut, rad_in, rad_ut, ut1, ut2 As Integer

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Max_stream = WorksheetFunction.Max(Worksheets("Data"). Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Value)

For j = 1 To Max_stream

The problem with the code above is the last If, in which the function "rekursivloop" calls itself. I don't know if this type of formulation is correct, but for the cases the If condition is TRUE (ie ut1 <> ""), the function does not return any answer. Does anyone see an error in the logic or have some example for how to write similar recursive loops?

Wildcard Searching For Multiple Values And Returning A Result?

May 27, 2014

I have been trying to find a formula for this but I have yet to find one that works for me.

Data;

English - United Kingdom, Czech, Spanish
UK - United Kingdom
Swedish
English - US
French
US
France
German
Portuguese
+8000 more various values

I am looking for a formula that can search for multiple values e.g. english, us, uk and united and then return the value "Yes".

I was looking for something that includes wildcard searches or contains so that it is not affected by upper or lower case but combining this with multiple searches was proving difficult.

Returning A Certain Result Based On A Specific Data Range

Nov 26, 2009

I have a problem with a calculation i am trying to do. I have to calculate holiday allocation for staff but i my company also offers length of service bonus days. After 5 years you get 1 extra day, after 10 years you get 2, after 15 you get 3 and so on. In my sheet i have a formula based on their start date that tells me their length of service in the following format: 10 years, 2 months.

I have put an IF Statement in for each of the different milestone criteria but the result is not coming back so i know i am missing something. Is there something wrong with the formula itself or is there a better one that will allow me to put the start and end of the range i want it to look at? For example can i tell it to say if between 5 years and 9 years 11 months put 1, if between 10 years and 14 years 11 months put 2 etc in column H.

Matching Multiple Criteria On Single Rows And Returning Result?

Feb 5, 2013

I have two workbooks at the moment, one which holds a whole host of customer and accounts details and another which holds only the customer details. What I'm trying to do is cross reference the two to determine if a customers details appear on both and if they do highlight this, ultimately I'd like it to pull the customers account number back but even if it highlights a match that would be sufficient.

The only unique criteria I have to do this are customer surname and customer postcode.

In the Customer details spreadsheet I'm attempting to enter a formula which will look at the specific surname & postcode held on the row in which it is entered. It will then look at all of the rows on the other spreadsheet and determine whether any of them meet both criteria.

If they do I'd like it to display "match" if they don't I'd like it to display "no match"

VLOOKUP Formula Dragdown Copies Previous Cell Result Instead Of Unique Result

Jun 10, 2014

When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.

When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.

I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.

Copy Formula Result & Paste Value/Result Only

Sep 3, 2006

I created a simple auto numbering function whereby Cell A7 contained =Row()-6, and Cell A8 contained =(A7+1). I then shift, and pasted the contents of cell A8 until cell A600. My aim is to simply copy the increments of 1 - 600 into another column. However when i copy and paste i'm also copying the initial underlying formula ie: =( A?+1), Is there a way to copy the results, not the formula?

Add Condition To Simple Formula

Mar 26, 2009

Using Excel 2003. I have a very basic SUM formula I am using to show how many forms are still in-house. Pretty simple.

Column D is how many came in.
Column F is how many were completed.
Column E is what is left.

To get the daily count I take the previous day's Column E, add to today's Column D and subtract today's Column F.

=(E2+D3-F3)
Puts the results in E3.

This formula is copied on down the worksheet which results in:
=(E3+D4-F4), with the results in E4. And so on down Column E.

The problem is that if there is no data entered in Column D or F, the results from E are carried (copied?) as far down as the forumla. i.e., if today's column E results in 4, then that is displayed for as far down as I have copied the formula. What I'd like to do is set the formula so that if there is no data in columns E or F, then there is nothing displayed in Column E.

Simple Subtraction Formula Not Calculating

Nov 21, 2007

I've got a list of marks (col T), and I want to create a new column subtracting 5 from each value.

Obviously, the formula in this new column is
=T1-5
=T2-5
etc...

But I enter that formula and excel doesn't do any calculating, it just displays "T1-5"
It even seems to recognize that it's a formula, highlighting T1 in the formula and the T1 cell itself, but no resulting value...

I've tried changing the format of the cells (in both columns) to Number and back to General again, but without success.

I've also tried copying and pasting (values only) the whole T column to another column, and tried there, also without any success.

Simple Formula Using IF And SUM - Yields Unexpected Error

Apr 25, 2014

Using this formula for a bank account,

=IF(SUM(C2-A1+B1)=C1, "match", "NO match")

down a column of about 3000 rows, yields only one cell with an unexpected and probably incorrect response in G2 with a "NO Match" - where the math is correct ?

A B C D
63.58 0.00 -54.97 match
64.57 0.00 8.61 NO match
128.21 0.0073.18 match
201.39

Details:

Attachment is included;
temp2.xlsx

in a bank account file, where "C2" is the previous balance, "C1" is the current balance, "A1" is any check written, "B1" is any deposit applied.

Simple Formula Construction And Conditional Formatting?

Jul 26, 2008

I have used Excel for a number of years and have gotten on ok on my own working out simple formulas myself but I have been stuck on this one for a while. Is it possible to enter a value into a cell and have a predefined formula that works with the data that I enter?? I would like to enter a value between 1-10 and the cell then takes this number and multiplies it by a value in another cell. Eg.

I have a cell that displays £10 (let's say D6)
In another cell I enter 8
I would then like the cell to do the formula =8*D6 automatically, as this value can be different each time (1-10)

The basic formula is: [Code] .....

If they closed their task by or before the due date, the condition should be true and it should output "Compliant" beside their task. Otherwise their "Over Due".

The forumla works except when they close their task ON the due date. No matter how I tweak the forumla, it thinks the condition is false as if it cannot tell when the two dates match.

Wrong Data Type Error In Simple Array Formula

Jun 30, 2013

I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is

Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22

We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!

Combining Simple Formula With Text Concatenation Produces Too Many Decimal Points

I would like to limit the decimal places to two: 6.41c Each.

I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.

If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.
