I am trying to get the results of the number of days between today and a future date. I am using ="cell containing futuredate"-today() and it gets me the correct number of days. The problem comes in when I have yet to populate the future dates. I am getting -39991 (numeric value between today and jan 01 01) and because I am also using conditional formatting this is even more of a problem. Is there a way get excel to display nothing if it is a negative number? or to give a specified resut if the number becomes negative such as Expired or something of that nature?
really i didnt understand this following post. http://www.excelforum.com/excel-misc...-in-excel.html. as i told u before i am not a Professional in excel. i will undestand when u guys r providing attach files othewise good examples.
This formula is being used in a vacation time spreadsheet. So after each paycheck the if statement is applied and need to calculate the accumulation for that week based on if the person has worked 5 yrs or less. I need to stop the today's date calculation in the if statement after it is used. So that each time the spreadsheet is opened the values are a fixed number not changed based on the current date. However if the if statement is pasted into the next pay week it will calculate based on the actual date.
It is calculating is the following:
C4 = 5yrs Anniversary Date of Hire 3.08= less than 5 yrs 4.62= more than 5 yrs
The code that I'm using is supposedly not allow spreadsheet to be opened after a certain date, or does not allow a user to press any of the command buttons and comes up with a message saying the spreadsheet is closed for new entries.But is not working for me.
I've looked through the threads and while I have used Data Validation to stop duplicate entries, I want to also make certain that those entries are only Dates. In other words, if Cells A1:A10 are to contain unique dates, I use Data Validation with the Custom condition below; = COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,A1)=1
If the user enters the same date more than once, an error message pops up. However, the user is not prevented from entering a range of dates in a cell such as "July 5-7". How can I validate that the date is entered only once AND the entry is a valid Date. With Data Validation it seems I can specify to allow a DATE with specific criteria, or the Custom, but I can't see how I can do both.
I have a userform which is used to update a spreadsheet.
There are 7 textboxes which add dates to the spreadsheet. These dates are then used in formulas.
Every time a record is saved the date format changes.
Ths means that if the date is entered dd/mm/yyyy it writes mm/dd/yyyy and this is fine. When this record is next retrieved it will show mm/dd/yyyy and any new date will be dd/mm/yyyy.
Wen saved to the spreadsheet both formats change meaning the dates in the spreadsheet appear in diffrent formats messing up all formulas.
How can I stop the date format changing each time the record is saved?
I have a small project at work where I am being asked to put a simple spread sheet that will calculate a start/stop time - and also include the date. For example:
Start time 5pm, date: 3/13. The spread sheet to auto calculate what the stop time and date will be if a specific amount of hours is to be calculated. For example in this case, 12 hours. From calculating in my head that would be 5am the following day. However, how can I get this in excel to work and therefore all i would have to do is enter the start time and date, + 12 hrs, and excel would calculate the time/date after the additional 12 hrs.
When I remove "Release date:" from "Release date:24 December 2008," excel will automatically change the text to "24-Dec-08." Yes, I did try to format the column to "text" before using find and replace.
This wouldn't be a problem, except that half the dates are in Dutch, so only half the dates are changed, which means that I can't make all date formats in a column uniform.
Right, sorry this is probably a simple one but I can't do it... I have information in a variable that is "1-4" the variable is defined as a String but whenever I use the following code excel turns it into a date.
I am creating time sheet application , obviously i need to store the time when the user logs & logs out .. The issue is, the user can "Cheat" by changing the system time ...
Any alternatives?? Is it possible to store the time from a particular server etc or some other source.
I have attached a copy of a spreadsheet that I am putting together, What I need to achieve is, when a date is entered into the completion date cell the daily count down in the days left cell stops but still shows the value in that cell. The Annual or Monthly cal tabs are the ones i need the formula for.
I'd like to create a countdown timer to the nearest second for a project deadline. At present I have a simple formula stating the number of days, but would like it a lot more detailed.
I have been searching for quite a while now and cannot figure this out. Basically I have a label named lblCountdown, and that is where I am stuck. Every Do loop, example code, whatever I try won't work. I want a countdown for 10 seconds in my form. The form should show the countdown.
how to modify, other than one piece) for a simple countdown timer to place on a userform. On my form if a user clicks a check box I display a label that shows a count down from 300 to 0 (best/simplest code I could find to modify for my purposes). But I'd rather it look like a timer counting down from "00:05:00" to "00:00:00".
Code: Private Sub PPackCall14_Click() 'lbCountDown, lbMinutes If PPackCall14 = True Then Dim i As Integer Select Case lbMinutes.Value Case ""
I have a countdown in my work sheet that counts 30 days from today if Cell A11 has a value and the date is in B11. Below is the function.
=IF(A11"",B11+30-TODAY(),"")
I love the function above because it counts in reference to a value. I would like something like this function but I want it to countdown 24 hours and not 30 days from today.
I need an IF formula, that states if a date is more than a month after the date in the cell then it is timely and if it isn't then it is not timely. For example the date in A1 is 12/11/05, if the cell is A2 is 13/12/05 (or any date after that) then A3 should read Not Timely, if A2 is 12/12/05 (or any date before that, including a date before the date in A1) then A3 should read Timely. Is there any way to do this?? At the moment I am having to go through manually and put in either Timely or Not Timely.
how to make my network days stop counting when I insert a value in the completed column (in this case H3). I have a Date Received column (A3), a due day column (G3) and the last column with the date (N3). My remaining days column keeps counting after I filled the completed cell (H3) and won't stop counting after. I need a formula to stop after the completed cell is fill up.
I need to list multiple items that end in, example:at time entered there is 45:14:50 = Hr:Mn:Sec to completion, and would like the date and time of completion or just a countdown to 0 would work. I will have 60 to 70 items running at the same time with different start times and lengths. Picture queueing up items at different times to complete in different length of time and I need to be ready when each item is done. I know this is an Excel forum but I also use Apple Numbers so if either one works better I'm fine with that.
In the attached file, column R is the start time that I enter that needs to be calculated to column S. When I enter an item that takes 54hrs 23min 45seconds to complete, what date and time will it be ready.
The idea is that when they enter the date they recieved their PDR it auto posts the date it needs re doing in column C. To emphasise it and make it easier i am trying to use the formula is part of conditional formatting so that the spreadsheet goes green when date entered, orange when there is 30 days till renewal and red when its over due. I've been trying formulas such as =c2-today()<30 in the conditional formatting box but i cant seem to get it to work.
A countdown timer (MM:SS) all in A1. Need keyboard control to PAUSE and STOP. The mouse will be otherwise occupied and its use cannot effect the timer in any way. Easy way to set the timer.
*Most periods are 2:00 but overtime periods are either 1:00 or :30, depending. Also, consolation matches usually follow a 1,2,2 format, so I will need a system to be able to reset the timer to any of these easily.
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
