I often see array formulas written with "extra zeroes", like this: {=SUM(IF(let=1,IF(cost>5,cost,0),0)). Yet I was taught to write the same formula without the zeros, like this: {=SUM(IF(let=1,IF(cost>5,cost))).
My question are:
1) what do the zeroes mean or do?
2) what happens if I replace one or both of the zeros with a different value, like the number one?
I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?

I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 16 columns in a single row that I am trying to apply to an array formula. That works, but I need to exclude all cells with the number "0" from the array range. I think I can do this myself in VBA but I don't want to run a macro every time something changes. Is it possible to do this in excel?
{=10*log(10^(A1:A16/10))}
It is possible that A1:A4 is a non-zero range and A12:16 may be a non-zero range. (Zeros will always be grouped in 4s)
I am just basically sorting through a huge dataset and grabbing unique codes and storing them in an array for later use. Some of the codes are numeric and some are alphanumeric therefore I am storing them as strings. However, when a code is for example 000578 - once a recall this from the array it has become 578. Is there anyway to preserve the entire code, i.e. make the array recall 000578.

I've got a formula that gives me an "#N/A" in a cell when certain conditions are met, otherwise it gives me the results of a calculation.
On the line graph that goes with uit, the "#N/A" is being treated as a zero.
I have a lot of record that contain number like shown below:
0000082181
0000005465
0000028997
I want to remove all 0 in front of this number in excel.. I use excel 2007..
I already try using formula
Code:
=IF( LEFT(A1) = "0" , RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-5), A1)
but it only remove 5 character in front what about the number that have 6 '0'......

I am working with a spreadsheet and rather new to be VBA. How do I select a range that only has data. I currently have the following macro, but when I run it, it checks every cell in the active worksheet which cause the application to hang. I would like it to automatically select only cells that have data in them ignoring all empty cells. I need this to be an automatically process running without the user selecting a range of data.
Here is my code ..
I need to format an Excel spreadsheet into a comma delimited text file. I have saved the file as a text file, I have suceeded at making it comma delimited. In the text import wizard I have also selected no text qualifier.
However when the file is imported everything works fine but some quotation marks pop up at the beginning and at the end. The quotations are not part of the file and I have already chosen no text qualifier. How do I get rid of the quotation marks so that they do not appear when the file is imported?

I typed in the word array into Excel Help and found this item
"About array formulas and how to enter them"
I am trying to duplicate the first example and cannot
Ex: =Average(if(C5:C14="Europe",D5:D14))
I tried something similar to this (diff cell ref) and I get #VALUE
Do I need to check off an addin or something?
Do array formulas work if the array is across sheets instead of across columns or rows? I'm getting a #Ref! error when I try to use an "across sheets" array.
I'm doing this:
=sum(if('Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!A1=1,'Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!A2,0))
With a CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER return.
I have been lurking around for past month learning lots from MrExcel's wonderful web site. One of the many things I learned was how to improve my spreadsheets with Array Formulas, but today I ran into a problem on a new spreadsheet I'm building for work.
Here's the problem: I have 39 coworkers. For each coworker, I have 14 Array Formulas using SUMPRODUCT command with up to 5 "conditions", similar to this example:
{=SUMPRODUCT((user=$A$5)*(task=AO$3)*(DateChecked>0)*((Error="Error Removed")+(Error="Error Converted to an FYI")))}
Each condition such as "user" and "task" is a static named range of 5000 cells. This spreadsheet will hold one week's worth of my coworkers' work. This past week they have processed about 2500 items. To be safe, I doubled this number to determine the static named range size.
For each worker I have 56 columns (one for each possible task which a coworker can process).
So for each coworker, there will be 14 * 56 = 784 Array Formulas.
Currently my spreadsheet only has a single coworker defined, so I only have 784 Array Formulas, but it takes 35 seconds at 100% CPU Utilization when I press F9 (Calculate all formulas). Right now, I am running this on my Home PC (a 400 MHz PII PC with 256 Megs of RAM, OS is Win2000 at SP4 maint level and Excel 2002), but it is equally slow at work (1.7 GHz Celeron with 256 MB of RAM running Win2K SP4 and Excel 2K).
I haven't tested yet, but even if I assume a linear progression, with 39 coworkers I am thinking it is possible the amount of time for Excel to recalculate all the formulas will be 39 times longer than it is currently. This will be close to 22 minutes. That is a long time to wait! It will be even worse if my testing shows the amount of time Excel takes to evaluate the array formulas is exponential instead of linear...
...784*39 = 30,576 formulas...
I am having little luck creating an array to work with 3 critieria. Here is what I am trying to do: In the attached spreadsheet I am trying to show a total for each "Global Process" based on if "Reason Cancelled" and a date greater than or equal to March 1st, 2006. Here is what I currently have for the array formula: note: this is an Excel formula not VBA. I couldnt find the right code
=SUM(( 'Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$D$2:$D114="Fulfillment")*('Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$I$2:$I$150="Other")*('Raw Data(Added_Cancelled)'!$H$2:$H114>="2006-03-01 00:00:00"))
with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
Does anyone know how to activate a block of different array formulas at once??
Example:
N7:Q80 has a total of 296 Array Cells. Each has a unique formula & I cannot just drag to fill these nor can I activate all at once.
In the future, I don't want to have to manually activate them w/F2, CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
btw, Why do I have to press F2? Is that only in Excel 2007? I googled pretty extensively & don't see an option how to only press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. It would be nice not to have to press F2 everytime.
I would like to master the dreaded array formulas. Any Excel based accounting consolidation tool or other consolidation tool out there that I could adapt to consolidate group accounts on a monthly basis.

I've created a very large spreadsheet (4096 calculations) and I'm using array formulas for a large number of cells, which leads me to my current predicament. All the formulas are written in, but I haven't done the necessary ctrl+shift+enter after finishing all of them (there is only slight variation in each calculation so I produced them in an iterative manner) and I was wondering if there was a way besides selecting each cell individually - pressing F2 - Then pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to make all my formulas array formulas.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have the attached file that I need in a user form format. Basically the vlookups and calculations (on tab form) should be calculated once users enter A and B into form.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBackground info: I have developed a Hired Equipment Time Sheet with numerous formulas to auto populate and calculate various cells to minimize user impute requirements.
Can cell formulas be toggled on and off to allow manual impute of data rather than the formula automatically populating information in the cell if the need arises? If so, can this be done via a drop down pick? Also can or will the formula still be protected?
I am running Excel 2007.
I have set up a table and for ease of explanantion Column C has a formulas in it to add together the values found in Column A and B.
EG C3 foumula = "=sum(A3+B3)"
Now in cols d & e I have manually entered figures and in colum F I want to add up those figures so F3 should read "=sum(D3+E3)"
In the past I have always been able to just copy the cell C3 and paste it into F3 and the formula would automatically copy and offset the various cells to the correct cells for the new posiitoning.
However, for some reason when I copy the cell, it now pastes the value only into the pasted cell and does not copy the formula, if I click on paste special to try to just copy the formula I now get a pop up asking me if I want to paste as Unicode Text or Text.
I have no recollection of changing any settings.
Is there any Site which is providing the Complete Details with Example of Formulas in Excel 2007.
View 9 Replies View Related I am trying to calculate a matrix of array formulas that is roughly 365 x 137, or about 50,000 cells being calculated from a range of roughly 12,000 x 137. There are multiple if statements within the array formula, and then those 50,000 cells are referenced to another, but smaller matrix of array formulas (25 x 137). Each of these matrix sets is for one year, and there are three years that need calculated.
Problem: When calculating the 50,000 cells it takes roughly 2.5 hours to complete all calculations. So, for 3 years it will take roughly one work day of tying up my computer to just compile data that will then require several days of calculation/manipulation.
Question(s): Is there a way to speed this up to a reasonable amount of time (I'd even take 30 minutes at this point)? Or, is Excel simply the wrong tool to be using for this amount of data? Do I need a better machine to run these calculations? I am currently using a Dell XT3 with 2.5 Ghz i5 quad core processor.
I have a worksheet "Expenses" with columns Month, Category, Expense, Amount. There are four categories and, obviously, 12 months.
In the workbook is another worksheet, "Totals" which lists the months across the top, and the categories down the left. Then I have array formulas in each cell, that look like this:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$2:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$2:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$2:$E$990,0),0) )
This works fine, until people start moving cells around in the Expenses sheet. Say they sort everything they've put in by month, and then they want to move July up to the top because it's the start of our fiscal year. So say they have six expenses for July and they cut and insert them in at B2. Suddenly the formula now says:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$8:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$8:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$8:$E$990,0),0) )
I thought by using absolute cell references instead of relative ones, I could avoid this problem, but that's apparently not the case. I tried changing the cell references in the formulas to relative ones but it still happens then too.
I have some imported data that lists the date in separate columns.
i.e.
ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
January.......10.........2013
How do I convert this to a date by using a formula? Later I want to use the date in an array formula to sort the list.
