How do I track my total weight loss in excel? Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
8/1/2008 228lbs
8/2/2008 225lbs
8/3/2008 223lbs
Total 5lbs
I would like use a formula that would subtract my absolute weight loss total day by day in August. Basically, I want the total "cell" to equate to my total weight loss in August. For Example after 8/3/08 the "total cell" should equate to 5 lbs. What formula do I use to do this?
I was wanting to put it on a spreadsheet. Probably a pretty easy deal, but I don't know the formula to use. this is what I want: Joes start weight 200 minus week ones weight, then the original 200 minus week 2's weight and so on till week 8. I want to keep a running total of weight lost in pounds as well as percentage.

At my new job the CHT/CRT that we receive is three days behind what we are actually using. It makes it hard for me to keep track of my talk time, so I thought I'd use excel to track it. I can see the time I have been on each call through the day. I had to put it in 0:0:0 format to get it to average correctly. (I was trying to get it down to just seconds but that seems a bit complicated. I just then used "average=(a1:a30)" to average them together and it seemed to work a bit.

We were looking at a list of about 100 FedEx tracking numbers, each 30 characters in length, in an otherwise blank Excel spreadsheet. All tracking numbers in column A.
I used the Conditional Formatting - Highlight Duplicates feature to find any duplicate tracking numbers. It highlighted numerous. We sorted the column smallest to largest to look at two duplicates back to back, but found that there were actually no duplicates. Excel was highlighting values that had the *first 25* characters the same, but it didn't matter what the remaining characters were. For example:
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
were highlighted as duplicates of each other.
Excel only looks at the first 25 characters when analyzing duplicates (at least in this specific function). That in and of itself blows my mind. Tracking numbers seem like an abundantly common type of data, and to think that Excel would fail to analyze them in such a simple manner seems impossible to me.
It gets slightly more confusing though. If you back a character off the end of the values, it NO LONGER sees them as duplicates. So...
1234567890123456789012345XXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
are NOT highlighted as duplicates while
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
ARE highlighted as duplicates. So there's some funny business going on about values of the same character length. Maybe Excel first looks at character length before analyzing specific characters. If length doesn't match, it doesn't even bother to analyze specific character values. That seems like a very strange programming choice though.

I am trying to create a weight chart, which works in stones, pounds and ounces. My first query is that each time I enter the weight in for each day, I need it to deduct 1ib 4oz from the weight I enter. At present I have seperate columns for stones, pounds and ounces. However, if I try to do a simple lbs minus 4 it doesn't work, because sometimes the pounds are less than four - so instead of taking the stone column down by one and then deducting the remaining pounds, it just puts the pounds columns to -3 or similar.
Also, I would like my table to work out weight lost over a period of time - so, I have my starting weight at the top and then I want my most recent weight to be taken from the starting weight, leaving weight lost - I can't get this to work either. Is there a way to make it so that the calculation uses the most recent weight entry and does so automatically?
If anyone has any solutions to these queries, I would be very grateful...as I have to caculate this for a number of people and it would be much quicker if it did it all automatically upon entering the most recent weight.
I have some aged data, as follows
325days - $225
20days - $2,725
16days - $27,250
11days - $8,175
Now, if I just take the average number of days ((365 + 20 + 16 + 11) /4) I get 93.0days
However, I want to high value days to carry more weight, than the lower value days.
I gave each set of data a weighted score by dividing the value by the total value, i.e.
$225 / $38,375 = 0.006
$2725 / $38,375 = 0.071
$27,250 / $38375 = 0.710
$8175 / $38375 = 0.213
I have attached a sheet that contains a pretty simple formula that helps me figure out the dimensional weight of a shipment. It is just a simple vlookup that returns the proper rate (Column H) depending on DIM Weight and Zone. It works great.
The issue I'm running into is with various exceptions that I need to put into the formula. The criterias that I need to put into the rate formula (Column H) are:
1-If the one of the Length (Column A), Width (Column B), and Height (Column C) is greater than 60 I need to add 7.50 to the the returned lookup value in Column H.
2-The second longest side the Length (Column A), Width (Column B), and Height (Column C) is greater than 30 I need to add 7.50 to the the returned lookup value in Column H.
3-If the grith (2x Column C + 2x Column B) is greater than 130 I need to add 45 to the the returned lookup value in Column H.
I'm working with a few IF formulas but I can't seem to get all of them to work at the same time. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Column H has the numbers of whose % weight I need to calculate. The problem is that the no. of rows containing the numbers can change from week to week and I am trying to automate the calculation of the % weights.
So I want try to use column G (as a reference) (like go at the bottom of it so I can know how many rows of numbers there are) and then calculate the % weights.

I have a program that will give me the area of any shape. In the picture below I have started with the letter “A”. B7 is the over all area. D7 is the small triangle. G7 is the total area minus the triangle D7. H7 is the thickness and I7 is the total volume.
The weight of my MDF I have set at is 850kg cubic meter. That’s set in A3.
I need the total weight of the letter in J7 to be in grams.
The idea is, I put in the areas and set the thickness and it gives me the total weight.

Hi there, been using this for a number of years now, but never had to post a question - I guess most things are already answered - but this one is a bit more tricky.
I want to calculate a totals and a weighted average based on months from a data set that has duplicate ID's and variable data (attached example).
I would like to calculate the total tonnes by month and the average grade of those tonnes. Using the 'month ID table' as a reference to the 'Raw Data table'.
Is this possible using if and vlookup functions or will require a higher level of programming knowledge?
I have a Weight Watcher spreadsheet. I enter the Calories, Fat and Fiber and I get the # of points for that food. Then I keep put those points into the lower part of the spreadsheet where I track what I eat, and Excel does my simple math for me. What I want to do is keep a list of my foods, and their point value in my spreadsheet. I would like to be able to put the food name in Cell A1, the WW points in BI, and then be able to click a button with a macro that takes those two pieces of data and add them to bottom of my food list. I don't have a food list yet, I would assume I can just put it on sheet 2. I then want to be able to use lists in my cells to choose the food in the future. I need to be reminded how to make "dynamic named ranges. Today, I just need to know how to write the macro to copy and paste those two cells in the first open row at the bottom of my food list.

I have excel spreadsheets that can do this over several columns, like this
series of returns... rtns squared
2.50% =2.50%*2.50%
3.50% =3.50%*3.50%
5.00% =5.00%*5.00%
1.01% =1.01%*1.01%
0.75% =0.75%*0.75%

-2.78% =-2.78%*-2.78%

I was unable to attach a sample of the spreadsheet. I hope this explanation works. If not, I could email it.
Where:
Market position is either 1 or -1
Entry price is the price where the position is reversed.
For example:
H3=1 and I3=100.56, then
H4=-1 and I4=100.88, then
H5=1 and I5=100.53
I need to calculate the profit as follows:
I4 - I3 (because market position of 1 expects the price to go up) and then,
I4 - I5 (because market position of -1 expects the price to go down)
I want to calculate this as a running total to the bottom of the column.
This is the formula I was working with, but it doesn't work:
=IF(OR($J4="",ISERROR(MATCH(-$J4,$J4:$J$55,0)),),"",$J4*(OFFSET($K4,MATCH (-$J4,$J4:$J$55,0)-1,)-$K4))
I have a workbook that contains several worksheets. The 2 important sheets are Imports and Sales.
In reading the MS KB, the help screens and this forum, I found a way to create a pivot table from 2 sheets using Data>Pivot Table>Multiple Consolidation Ranges. While that PT will provide a basic inventory and profit picture, it only allows 4 selects.
When these products are imported there are several SKU's. What gums up the works is there are several vendors for the same SKU's. Each vendor has a different price. The selling price is constant so the profit made on each particular item varies.
I would like to be able to keep track of inventory by vendor as well as profit by vendor.
Using the Consolidation PT does not seem to work.
I also tried making one sheet to hold all the data. i.e. data showing imports and sales. However, each entry is driven by the date. So while item A was received on 1/1/07, it was not sold until 1/2/07. The necessary columns for imports are filled in while the columns for sales remain blank until it is their row entry indicating a particular sale. At which point all the columns regarding Imports are blank. I swear, looking at the data sheet with all those blanks (actually0's) is like looking at a mouth full of broken teeth. The resulting PT is also not attractive.
I can not imagine I am the first person to have this problem. How do others handle figuring inventory and profits when you have two sheets. Are Pivot Tables the wrong solution? What would be better?
I am using the following few lines of code:
Code:
Range("A3:L" & ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Row).Select
With Selection
.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlMedium
.Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlMedium
.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlMedium
.Borders(xlEdgeRight).Weight = xlMedium
.Borders(xlInsideVertical).Weight = xlThin
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).Weight = xlThin
End With
However am receiving an error: "Unable to set the Weight Property of the Border Class". The odd thing is, I only receive the error on the following 2 lines:
Code:
.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlMedium
'and
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).Weight = xlThin
The sheet is not protected, events are disabled, and the range that gets selected changes dynamically based on the number of rows of data in the table, however in this example cells A3:L15 are selected.
I have a data set that I'm trying to present in a pivot chart and am wanting to use one series to color code or weight another series in the chart. For instance, let's say I have different product categories and two metrics for each, a profit margin (expressed as a %) and a revenue figure (expressed as $s). I want the height of individual bars to represent the profit margin but have the level of opaqueness represent the revenue figures...ie the more revenue associated with a product the more opaque it becomes.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a excel 2000 spreadsheet that has beginning and ending dates for certain services. I'm trying to tease out what our customer base has been doing over time in aggregate- i.e. how many customers subscribing to X in a given month/year.
The only way I've been able to do this in the past has been generating pivot charts of start dates (with 'start mo' and 'start year' busted out) as a positive count (+1), stop dates (with 'stop mo' and 'stop year' busted out) with a negative count (-1), then copying these tables into yet another page where I mash them together to get the 'flow' of our customer base over time and generating charts from there. Needless to say, it seems a whole lot more clunky than it should be, and I'm having a hard time searching the innarwebs for similar examples (even though I'm sure it's been done before). Example:
I have the data in
A1=30 and B1=40
A2=60 and B2=20

I currently copy/paste sports data from the web into MS Excel. One of the columns pasted contains "Won-Loss", which appears as '1-0' on the web. However, once the data is pasted, Excel identifies this field as a date and changes the value of '1-0' to 'Jan-'00. I would like to insert a new column and convert the field back to text (i.e. Jan-00 to 1-0). I have attempted several formulas, however no luck as of yet.
