SumIf Function To Sum Cells When Other Cells Begin With Certain Characters

Nov 5, 2008

I want to use the SumIf function to sum cells when other cells begin with certain characters.

I've toyed with a few ideas of how this could work, but i don't know how to specify that the cells need to begin with certain characters. The cells that would be the criteria and the ones that would be summed come out of an Oracle database (and i have no control over the way they're pulled out - yet) so the beginning characters are connected to extremely unique information, so i dont want that to be included in the if part, for obvious reasons.

I want to pull the 12, 1200, and 120 for a total of 1332.

Using SUMIF Function To Ignore Error Cells

Feb 27, 2006

I need to get a subtotal of a range (eg: A1:A30), however some cells in this range have #N/A errors due to particular formulas they contain. I could go into these cells and add a formula which 'catches' these errors, but there are far too many given my current time constraints.

Is there any way to use SUMIF to add the cells which do not contain errors and skip the ones that do? (ie: SUMIF($A$1:$A$30,""&"Error Parameter")).

Transpose Function..Empty Cells And Characters

Apr 10, 2009

I just recently switched to Excel 2007 and am not that familiar with the program.

I have a question that has 3 components.

I have alot of data in Column A that has many blank cells.

I performed several searches and have still not been able to remove them.

This particular method worked if I was selecting a small amount of data

Yet when I use with the entire list I get the error "selection is too large".

What I basically want to do is take the data that I have gathered and transpose it so I can save as a csv file and import in to my contact manager.

SUMIF Function: Sum A Range Of Cells Greater Than Whatever Is In Cell D8

I am trying to use the SUMIF function in excel where I want to sum a range of cells greater than whatever is in cell D8. Here is what I tried to use, but it doesn't work. SUMIF(A2:A10,>D8,B2:B10)

The content in D8 can change because the user makes a choice from the drop-down list and a number pops up in D8 that is referenced to their choice.

Adding Multiple Cells From Multiple Sheets With Sumif Function

Jan 20, 2009

I'm trying to put together a spreadsheet that tracks disc capacity increases, affected by any incoming projects. I've managed to do so for one project, but would like to for up to 10. The way i've designed the solution (i'm sure there are far more elegant ways, but hey) is thus:

A forecast worksheet keeps track of a grand total, taking information from sheets P1 -> P10 (being projects 1 to 10). I am unable to figure a way to add up all the increases from all 10 project worksheets with one succinct formula. What I use so far is: ='P1'!C83+SUMIF('P1'!E82,"=2009 - Q1",'P1'!D82) ..................

SUMIF When Cells Contain Strings Found In Range Of Cells?

Jun 20, 2014

I'm looking for a function (I'm thinking 'SUMIF') that will search through column A of Sheet 1 and add column B of Sheet 1 when the cell in column A contains one of the strings listed in column A of Sheet 2. I can only find information when searching for single strings or cells.

Formula- To Pull Cell Values Similar To A SUMIF Function (SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range))

Oct 25, 2007

I am trying to pull cell values similar to a SUMIF function (SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)). For example, in A1 I use a data list created from data elsewhere on the spreadsheet. In the data I created elsewhere, there are 2 columns being used. The 1st column is the information that is being used to create the list and the second column contains specific values (number or text). In the dropdown menu I select an available value (text or number) . When I have selected that value I would like cell A2 to show what the cell directly to the right of it shows from the data I have elsewhere in the spreadsheet as mentioned. I have tried the SUMIF function however it seems to exclude certain values (number or text) and I am not sure what else to use.

Change Empty Cells To Blank Cells (need To Use Skip Blanks Function)

Mar 8, 2014

I have a spreadsheet where a column has many cells being empty and others with values. I need to use copy-paste skip blanks to another column so it only overwrites cells that contains values. BUT The cells in the column appears to be empty, not blank, when I try use the copy-paste skip blanks it doesnt work. However, when I press delete in every empty cell the copy-paste skip blanks works for those cells.

Do you got a fast method to make all the empty cells blank?

Ignore Blank Cells Zeros And Error Cells From MIN Function?

Oct 24, 2013

I have a spreadsheet for which I have to set up a formula to get the minimum value from a range of cells, but that range can include blank cells, errors (#DIV/0) and zeros, all of which I want to be ignored. I can work out how to ignore EITHER the zeros

(=MIN(IF(C10:G100,C10:G10)),

or the error cells

(=MIN(IF(ISNUMBER(C9:G9),C9:G9)),

How to exclude both. If I try to combine both of these exclusion criteria it doesn't work and I end up with the answer #DIV/0, which is one of the values I want it to ignore.

SUMIF - Summing Data From Several Specified Cells Based On Data Of Corresponding Cells?

Aug 6, 2014

On the "CurrentCustomer" worksheet tab I am trying to accomplish the following:

When the merged cells in the F column (F3, F25, F47...F443) equal the word "Contract", I need the corresponding total cells in the E column (E23, E45, E67...E463) to add up, if and only if the corresponding F column merged cell equals "Contract".

For example, using the first three ranges, if F3, F25, & F47 all equal "Contract", I need the corresponding E23, E45, & E67 to add up. If F3 & F47 equal "Contract", but F25 equals anything other than contract I need E23 & E67 to add up only.

the cells in Range("B:B") are linked to another worksheet. If I copy paste values on the cells in Range("B:B") the code above works a treat.

Cells With More Than 255 Characters

Jan 18, 2010

I have some text that I need to format, at the moment it looks like this:

[note name="Person A" label="0"[Person A's information]/note]
[note name="Person B" label="0"[Person B's information]/note]
etc

I would like to extract the Name (Person A) and the actual note itself (Person A's information) into two columns. I tried using "Text to Columns" as I have in the past, but there is a problem. Many of the information fields contain hundreds of characters, with the largest being ~2500 characters. The text to columns works does its job but cuts out a lot of data (anything over 255 characters).

I'm using MS Excel 2000

The text contained HTML codes, so they have not appeared correctly I have replaced with []

Count Characters Cells Among Others?

Jan 24, 2014

There are three questions in Comment boxes in the file. The bottom line is that the final item name in column F can only be 50 characters long including spaces. As I am entering the information in columns B,C & D it would be great to be able to see the numbers of spaces I have left to enter characters in column H without having to hit "Return" and leave the cell.

The first question may need a Macro so excuse me that it is included in the Formula section.

Inserting Characters Into Cells

Aug 4, 2009

I have recently purchased a new GPS for my fishing boat. I am trying to transfer my old coordinates from one unit to the other. I am using a .csv file to achieve this. Can some kind please let me know (and possibly tell me) if there is way to insert characters and spaces in to multiple cells. I have over 800 individual coordinates to modify to the new gps and this would take a long time to achieve individually.

I need to replace this: 12.34.567 to this: 12 34.567 N

and this: -1.23456 to this: 001 23.456 W

Extract First & Last X Characters From Cells

Sep 28, 2006

Column A in Excel has loads of numbers all in this format 971-417. I need to have each of those two numbers in a separate cell from each other(and without the hyphen of course).

Column A Needs to be: Column A Column B
971-417 971 417

In short, I'm looking for a quick way to put each number in its own cell for hundreds of rows. Are there formulas I can use to do this or does it have to be done slowly, one at a time, stripping the information from one cell to another?

Delete First X Characters In Cells

Oct 10, 2007

I am trying to write a macro that will go through each cell in a column with the following format "| 12- 4" or "| 60-11" and will remove the first to character "| ".

There numbers are lengths, the first being feet the second inches. I would like to achieve in a separate column the numerical length (with decimals) multiplied by 1%. My code is as follows I just need help on the conversion.

Sub newLength()
Dim LR, lrow As Integer
Dim feet, inches, Line As Double

LR = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
For lrow = LR To 2 Step -1
If Cells(lrow, "D") <> Cells(lrow - 1, "D") Then
Rows(lrow).Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
feet = Left(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 4)
inches = Right(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 2) / 12 'I need to debug this line, but I suspect there is more I need to do.
Cells(lrow, "F") = feet + inches
Next lrow
End Sub

SUMIF On Range Of Cells With Same Date

Apr 9, 2013

I have the following formula and it works.

=SUM(IF(AND((Transfers!B6="Labour"),(Transfers!C6="In")),Transfers!G6,""))

Basically the sheet 'transfers' has a column named type and one named in/out, the current formula I have does a logical test on both of these and then if they are both true takes the cost of it from a column named cost. This works fine for single rows. However on another sheet I am trying to use the above formula but there will sometimes be more than one entry for the same date on the sheet 'transfers' and all the same dates that meet the logical test's conditions need to display the sum of the cost on this other sheet.
