Using Helper Cell
Apr 18, 2009
I am working on an exported database and need to make the first 2 words only PROPER. Do you have to use the helper cell ? Also, I practiced with the LEFT, RIGHT commands using the FIND on the spaces. It worked well. And I can extract the first word and make it proper in a helper cell. But I couldn't seem to add the PROPER function to the extract formula string. Would you add it first ?
Below are 2 of the "strings" that I am working on to make the first 2 words proper and then to subsitute the P/N to #.
GENERIC P/N TIES-8 - 8" nylon tie wraps - 100 ...NEWARK ELECTRONICS P/N 81F4613 / PANDUIT P/N FC…

I am creating a helper table so then I can graph my information. But the formula I am using gives me the information. The problem is it skips the first row for every school. So when I select the school's name from the drop down menu in the schools dashboard sheet. The table should update with the grade level.
For example; I select school 1 which has grade 3, 4, & 5. but when I look at the helper table what comes up is grade 4 and 5. the formula I am using is
{=INDEX('2009DATA'!$C$1:$1000,SMALL(IF('2009DATA'!$A$1:$A$1000=$E$3,ROW($A$1:$A$1000),""),ROW()-1))}

I get a lot of spreadsheets that I need to do an ascending sort on certain columns, but the problem is there is nothing to revert it back to its original sort. Is there a way to add a reference column numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. so i can return to the original order. The spreadsheets can be over 200 lines at times so doing it manually is really irritating.
It doesnt have to be too smart, just something to add a column and add the numbers say 1 - 1000 in ascending order, I can delete the excess as required. I know I could record a macro but that just seems to time consuming to go up to 1000.

I'm using Excel 2007 and have an Employee Scheduling Program that keeps track of 10 employees on a monthly basis (1 worksheet per month). The days of each month are in columns (I thru AM) and my 10 employees are in Rows 6 thru 15, which creates a grid of cells. I use Conditional Formatting to highlight the Weekends, Todays Date, and Holidays. My Sumproduct formula (shown below) is in each of the cells of my grid and places a number (1 to 10 for each employee) from start date to the end date. My Current formula works great as it finds every occurrence of the argument but I need to modify it to include the contents of the Helper Column.
If(Sumproduct(($g$44:$g$74=$c$6)*($m$44:$m$74<=i$4)*($t$44:$t$74>=i$4)),1,0).......

I've created a custom Function. I would like for there to be a Helper when a user is entering the Function arguments.
For example if I go into a cell and type in =VLOOKUP(
A popup with appear that shows...VLOOKUP(Lookup_Value,Table_Array,col_index_num,[range_lookup]).
Is it possible for me to build something like this in my Function?

I have a table with 200.000 rows.
I need to create a helper column, that marks distinct values with 1 and not distinct "" or 0.
I tried the following but both use countif and I believe it is the problem it's just to slow.
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2;A2);1;0)
=1/COUNTIF($A$2:A2;A2)
but both are really slow +20 mins to calculate and many times Excel crashes( 2007 32bit).
The workbook is really simple
Col1 (number formatted as text) - Col2 =distinct

I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;

When I use the mouse pointer to select a cell I can't use the arrow keys to move to another cell while the pointer is over the cell and I can't edit the cell while the pointer is over the cell. If I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal therefore I don't think this is a scroll lock issue.
This issue also happens when I select a tab. If I select a tab and then leave the pointer over the tab I selected then I can't use the arrow keys to move around the worksheet or edit a cell; if I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal.
I am using MS Excel 2010.

I would like to add a date to one cell (say A6) and have this do two things:
#1) this would add "Closed" to a given cell such a A5.
#2) and this would add a color to a group of cells like A1 through A8.

I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)
When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.
I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.
i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.

I have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1
1Jon
2Bob
3Fred
Week2
1FredUp 2
2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?

I have three cells in A2:C2 which require user to input some data.
What I want to achieve is to combine the data from A2:C2 in D2.
C2 is a field which user will input the date. He might key in 21/08/06 or
21/08/06, 30/08/06
I have tried using below formulas in D2 but without success.
=A2&" " &B2&" "&(C2)
=A3&" " &B3&" "&DAY(C3)&"/"&MONTH(C3)&"/"&YEAR(C3) (doesn't work if there are 2 dates.
I have attached a file which shows 3 scenarios if user input 1 date and 2 dates.

I have the following range of cells B2:Y3700. I want that when a value from 1 to 9999 is inserted in one cell of the above mentioned range, to copy the row number of that cell in the cell that is located in column Z and row is the number inserted in that cell. For example, if the number "1234" is inserted in one cell from range B2:Y3700, to enter in cell Z1234 the number of the row where is located the respective cell. At same the time is very important to me to not permit to insert the same number in B2:Y3700, so i believe that is need a macro code to check the cell from column z to see if value already exist .

formula to copy a cell to a new cell if the previous cell meets the condition.
i have attached an example work book.
so what im looking for is on sheet 1 there is a table and cell G9 shows Apples. on Sheet 2 is a second table where the information is in slightly different rows.
I want to be able to [When Sheet 2 Column C = Sheet 1 Column G Then Paste Sheet 2 Column D into Sheet 1 Column H (next to Apples)]
Then i would like in Cell J9 to look something like [When Sheet 2 Column C = Sheet 1 Column G Then Paste Sheet 2 Column F into Sheet 1 Column J]
and i would like Cell I9 to look something like [When Sheet1 Column J = Sheet 1 Column L Then Paste Sheet 1 Column M into Sheet 1 Column I]

I have a spreadsheet with details of letters that should be responded to within 20 days, and i want to have a cell showing the amount that that need a response within 10 - 5 days. Basically I want to have a value of one returned to a cell in a row if one cell in that row contains a value between 10 and 5 (less than 11, more than 4) and another cell is blank. For example, AD27 contains 6, k27 is blank. I want AE27 to show 1. I also need the same if the value is less than 5, but i'm sure i could figure out how to alter it.

I have a workbook with over 900 worksheets.
The macro I have is looping all sheets looking for empty cells in a specific column, and when it founds an empty cell the value for one cell is copied to the empty cell.
But in one worksheet it stops with the error:
Run-time error '1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error

SAMPLE FILE "error_finder.xlsx (36.5 KB)" attached...
The VP of our company needs me to create a spreadsheet.
For this s/s I need the following:
Imagine 2 sheets in Excel...
sheet1
sheet2
sheet2 has sequential numbers in column1 starting in row2 with the number 1 until wherever..., so cell A2 has number 1, cell A3 has number 2, etc...
Manually, a user has to fill in certain text next to a number.
This for example would look something like this:
_|A| B
-|-|-----------------------------------|
1| | Error-description
-|-|-----------------------------------|
2|1| Whatever the 1st error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
3|2| Whatever the 2nd error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
4|3| Whatever the 3rd error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
5|4|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
6|5|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
and so on...
All this would be on sheet2
In a cell on sheet1 I now need the number from column A displayed, that has the latest entry in column B.
In the example above this would have to be the number 3 in cell A4, because right next to it (in cell B4) is the last entry "Whatever the third error would be..."
Addition: There are several sheets, each sheet stands for one error listed on sheet1 in column A
sheet1 for example would look like this:
_|____A____|_B_|_C_|_D_|
-|---------|---|---|---|
1|_________|833|933|934|
-|---------|---|---|---|
2| error 1 |___|___|___|
-|---------|---|---|---|
3| error 2 |___|___|___|
-|---------|---|---|---|
4| error 3 |___|___| 3 |
-|---------|---|---|---|
In this example, because "whatever error" (cell B2 to B4 on sheet2) was found on press 934 was the 3rd error (cell A4), the number 3 (cell A4) would have to be populated on sheet1 in cell D4.

I however need a macro that will delete the cell contents if the "Start of Cover Period" (column AK) date is > than the "End of cover period" (column AL) date.
Thus it must compare ak2 with al2 and if ak2>al2 then clear both cells. if AK2

Attached is a sample of what I am working with.
For some reason when pulling this report into excel, the description is under the part number and the ordering information is on the line with the part number. What I am trying to do is have the description move up one row and over one column if the value in C is blank on the same row. All of the information should be on one line. This report can have hundreds of records so I need some kind of looping code to get the end product where I need it.

whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.
This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.
It's for Excel 2003.

I paste new data into a sheet of a monthly report I prepare. For this sheet, the # of data rows change (and is unpredictable) every month. I need the value inside a specific cell that dynamcially moves up and down based on the # of rows for that month (because it's below the rows of data).
So I made a formula to identify the exact cell # every month.
Example:
This month the exact cell is F255 in the "Refi" sheet.
So my formula in the "Summary" sheet cell A1 first finds the cell row # only (255) and since it's always column F, in B1 I have
VB:
="F" & (A1)
This outputs "F255" in B1, successfully identifying the target cell.
Now how do I write a formula in C1 to grab the value from whatever cell is named in B1. (For this month, the value in cell F255 from the "Refi" sheet)

I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.

I work for a UK charity and have a list of funders in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.
One of the columns refers to the date on which a new application for funding can be made to that particular funder.
In many cases new applications for funding can't be made for 1 or more years since the last application - sometimes as many as 5 years later. How to get a cell to refer to the date that it contains.
For example, say I have in cell A1 "The Acme Funding Organisation" and in cell B1 (i.e. the "Reapply when?" column) a date of 01/04/2013 (British date format, i.e. 1 April 2013) then what I want Excel to do is to look at the date in cell B1 and if that date has been reached to highlight the cell red. That way I'll know that the reapply date has been reached & that a new application can be made.
