Using SUMIFS On A Large Amount Of Data - Numeric Value Stored As Text?
Aug 1, 2012
I was using SUMIFS on a large amount of data, but wasn't getting back the exact sum that I needed.
It turns out that I had cells with values similar to the following
Code:
000123
0123
Basically, text fields with the same numerical values, except for the number of leading zeros. Due to the nature of the table, the number of leading zeros is important.When I did SUMIFS, it counted the sum of the two values together. For example with the following:
Item
Batch
Qty
ABC
123
1
It appears that even if a numeric value is stored as text, SUMIFS treats it like a number.

I do have the following problem:
When I use the SUMIF(S) function and a criteria range that has numbers stored as text (eg: '394) the unequal operator (<>) doesn't work.
=SUMIFS(B:B,C:C,"<>493") doesn't work
I'm able to get the salary of employee 493 by using "493" instead of "<>493", but it seems that with the unequal operator Excel starts treating this ID as number. The only work-around I found so far is to use a wildcard e.g. "<>*493" or "<>493*". Excel then treats it as text again, but this is dirty workaround. What happens if an employee with an ID e.g. 1493 shows up!?
"<>'493" or something doesn't work unfortuantely..
Employee ID
Salary
'250
10000
'493
13000

I have sent a data sheet template to my client in which they paste their data, based on this data sheet analysis will be done automatically in next sheet "Summary".
Whenever they paste product code, vlookup is not working since the product code contains few are numeric (shows: "Number Stored as Text"). I advised my client to go with "Text to Column" and "Delimited" to change it as numeric. But my client feels this method is tedious one. Is there any alternate way to make that column as numeric permanently?

I have a large amount of data, 97000 rows and 4 columns that I need to sort every 26 rows starting with row 26. I only need 2 columns but I'll take all four, any easy way to accomplish this task. The data is position and time and the time is in seconds from which I need the 0,.5,1,1.5... all the way to 12577 seconds.

I have a large amount of data and am trying to find certain values.
Firstly - I am looking for any cell which has the number 0 in it, as I need to edit that specific cell. However, when I search for the number 0, multiples of 10 (e.g. 10,20,30,etc) come up in my search. Is there anyway to find the number 0, without also finding the multiples of 10?
Secondly - I am also looking for values over 100, is there a search function which allows me to do this?

I am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
Is there an easier and quicker way to do this?

I have some code to open up another workbook, take the data from sheet1 in it, copy it to a sheet in the first book, and then close the opened workbook. My problem is that whenever it closes the workbook it gives me the large amount of data on clipboard window that I must then click 'No' on before it will proceed. I thought that making CutCopyMode = False would fix that, but it hasnt worked. Heres the bit of code that does this:
CutCopyMode = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"G:InventoryInventory.xls"
Range("A1:M500").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Inventory Report.xls").Activate
Sheets("Vis-W").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Windows("Inventory.xls").Activate
CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWindow.Close
Sheets("Main").Select

I have a one column spreadsheet. The column contains this data:
1 Name
2 Address
3 City
4 State
5 Zip
6 Telephone
7 Fax
8 URL
9
10
11 Name
12 Address
13 City
14 State
15 Zip
16 Phone
17 URL
18
19 Name
20 Address ... and so on
Where there may be one or two blank rows between the individual records and where there may or may not be a Fax number (or row) in the record.
I am trying to convert this data to a horizontal column format - which works fine if I do a copy/paste special/transpose. However I have to do this for 1,800 records and cannot figure out how to do this reliably.
I gave the above illustration to simplify but, actually this is a two column spreadsheet with individual row labels for every record using the above terminology. In other words the above text is in the first column and the data is in the second. Just thought I'd mention in case there was a way to do some kind of if/then formula.

I have a data table on worksheet "Data" which has 2 dates (start and end) stored in columns in yyyymm format: (example 201204)
I also have a row/column table which is supposed to sum up balances which match both the start date in the column, and end date in the row, so that all unique combinations of start and end dates will have their own cells.
This is an example formula I am using
VB: =SUMIFS(Data!$K$2:$K$37233,Data!$F$2:$F$37233,"="&TEXT(R$6,"yyyymm"),Data!$H$2:$H$37233,"="&TEXT($B27,"yyyymm"))
I checked individually and the TEXT(R$6,"yyyymm") as well as the ($B27,"yyyymm") does return the yyyymm format.
The problem is that excel thinks that 201204 in the data table is different from the string "201204" and I keep getting zeros for that SUMIFS formula.

I am trying to insert three columns within a large amount of data. I am using Excel 2003 edition. The three columns need to measure max, min, and standard deviation of month long ranges and the data goes all the way back to 1993.
Currently, I have a column that has the correct ranges but finds the average for each month
(=AVERAGE($H7214:$H7243))...
And many more ranges as it dates back all the way to '93. Is there a possible way to insert these three columns with their respective commands (=MAX... =MIN... etc.) while keeping all the ranges from the AVERAGE column.
In effect, I am looking to solely switch the begining of the column command
(=AVERAGE($H7214:$H7243)) to (=MIN($H7214:$H7243) etc...
While keeping all of the specified ranges from the AVERAGE column.

I need a little coaching on big data. I have two reports, one from a production system the other from the invoicing system. I need to reconcile the two reports to ensure our invoicing ties out to production. At this time I am focusing on 1 particular item code, but there are potentially hundreds of item codes.
I have 1 Item Code.
I have a around a hundred invoices. (Sample 100)
I have a few hundred different customers. (Sample 100)
I have several hundred lines of billing data. (Sample 650)
I have several thousand lines of production data. (Sample 40,000)
In the billing system, per invoice I might have 1 or more billing lines for this item, usually no more than 2.
In the production system, per invoice I might have 5 to 50 or more production lines for this item per invoice.
Example
Prod System:
30 lines of data has a run amount and a total run amount for each line.
I am looking for tools to reconcile this data. VLookup and Index/Matching is not cutting it. VLOOKUP does not move beyond the first line found. Index/Matching wants to add all the prod together. I can get subtotals easy enough. I have tried Concatenation, but when it takes multiple production data lines to equal 1 billing line, this does not work. I needs some thing that can look at the Qty on a billing invoice and tie it out to various lines of production data to identify which production jobs went on that line of the invoice.
Here is a sample. These are fairly easy to resolve, but others are not so easy due to number of production and billing rows.
Invoice number
Billing item
Est. Quantity
Actual quantity
Billable Qty
Sales order
Position number
Sequence
Agreement
Billing source
Description
Total Billable Qty
[Code] ..........

I have a large amount of worksheets that require a formula update. Update itself is simple. Each formula in the cell has to be devided by different cell. My problem is that I have a big number of worksheets to do this in and they are in different workbooks. Is there a faster way of doing it besides manually updating each cell?

I have a group trip coming up where we took in a $1000 deposit per person. The total amount is only in the main members cell. There will be two more payment amounts coming. I need to make certain each person has paid the total amount they are required for the trip. There are two possibilities for total trip amount. Double occupancy is $15,500.00 and Triple is $14,500 per person.
There is a unique Identifier for each registrant, except when there is a multiple person under one registration the identifier has all the same number except at the end. I figured out a way to strip the number down to just show the same number in one registered group. There could be up to 10 people under one registration. I might not have the best option for breaking down the Identifier number, but thought it would be a good start. Used the code Left(column, number).
Issue is this. How can I now take the total number of people under one group take the total deposit and split it between just that unique group so I can then determine what is still owed after payments are made.

I want to link a number of cells on one worksheet back to another worksheet within the same workbook. Say everything from Cells A1 to M90.
I find the fastest way to do this link A1 on second worksheet to A1 on first worksheet (by using = and click on worksheet 1 Cell A1).
I then click on cell A1 on worksheet 2, grab small square in bottom right hand side of cell, and drag accross to M1.
While A1 TO M1 is still highlighted, I then grab small square on bottom of cell M1 and drag down to M90.
This makes all cells within this range reference back to worksheet1. In advanced settings I have unchecked for all blank cells to show a zero in woksheet 2.
Therefore I now have what I currently want, although I would like to make all reference absolute?
I tried doing this from the beginning again making A1 absolute at the start, but dragging the cells across and down does not provide the info I am looking for in all cells?

I have some code that goes through some data that is imported from a database via a query.
This has been working for a few years without a problem.
I lookup and employee number on my sheet to the employee number in the database table.
this is my code that checks the employee number.
Set rs = Worksheets("Employee")
If rs. Cells(r, 2) = cells(1,1) Then 'if employee number matches
......
The problem is that now the database application has adapted an alpha option (it used to be numeric only). In order for my code to work I have to change the employee number on my sheet by putting a ' in front of it.
Example if the number was 127 I need to enter '127 in the cells.
I have a few thousand in my data.
Can I add some code to my macro so I can still enter just the number in the cells?

Is it possible to validate a string with both numbers and text with a formula using data validation? (I don't want to use a User Defined Function)
in Column C, Starting in cell C2 I have a 12 character string of six numbers, four letters, and two numbers. like this:
280838ZNOV11
is it possible to use a Custom Data Validation formula to ensure the user follows this format?

Here's my situation.
I will post a rudimentary example:
Account Name/Column A
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San francisco
Truman school, Atlanta
Truman school, Atlanta
In column B, I would like it to assign a unique numeric id based on the TEXT only.
So Truman school, San Diego gets a string of numbers: 1234
Truman school, san fran: 1235
Truman school, Atlanta: 1236
My spreadsheet is about 6,000 records with a great deal of the above situation going on. So school names are identical with different locations assigned. I am trying to import to a database and don't want a lot of duplicate records. That's why I'm trying to assign a numeric value.

I have a spreadsheet which has over 30,000 records. One column is a row of numbers stored in a General format. Some of these numbers are however stored as Text and have the following Error Check:
"The number in this cell is stored as Text or preceded by an apostrophe"
As a result, when I try to import this sheet into Access, the numbers are not imported and appear as blank cells in the Table.
Is there a way either manually or programatically, format the column so all cells in that column are stored as a number and do not have the issue of being stored as text?

In a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:
2012
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
When I sort by this column I expect to get:
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
2012
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.

I received one excel spreadsheet office 2010 every week from one on the vendor. it has over 55000 rows. I got columns N, O, P & Q. these columns has some value which I use for my pivot tables. However the values in this columns are stores as a text. I select the little small box (information box ) appears on the right side of the cell and right click on that where I get an option to change it to number. This is working well.
However I have over 55000 rows , it takes a lot of times to change all these cells in four columns ( almost over 220,000 cells). some times more than an hours.
I use excel 2010.

I have a problem with entering 12-hour time data in excel.
If I key in 3:00, Excel will recognise it as 3:00 AM.
If I key in 3:00 p, Excel will recognise it as a text entry. To get Excel to recognise it as 3:00 PM, I have to use the 24-hour format. i.e. I have to type 15:00.
I have checked the Regional and Language option in the Control Panel. Everything looks fine.
Does anyone have such encounter with Excel before?

I am using an ODBC database connection to input data into an excel file. When I input the data excel stores the numeric data as text and puts a ' in front of the number. There is an exclamation mark beside the cell which allows me to convert the data back to numeric format. I need excel to do this conversion for me automatically when new data is added to the file.
