Why Aren't These 2 Cells Equal

Aug 21, 2008

I have a date on one sheet, and what I thought was the same exact date on another sheet. I want to vlookup off the date, however the values aren't the same. i.e. when I check to see if they = I get a false. They're both formated the same, custom date m/d/yyyy h:mm, and when I ran the check to see if one was text (t=(A1)) I get confirmation that they are both non-text!

Cells That Appear To Be Equal, Aren't

Mar 1, 2008

SUM If X Cells Aren't Blank

Aug 21, 2007

How should I use the If formula in K3 if I want to sum (A3+D3+H3) only if at least one of the cells is not blank. If all of the three cells are blank, I need K3 to stay blank.

I came with the following that worked with only A3+D3 but when trying to include a third cell (h3) I get a "value" result.

=IF(ISBLANK(A3),IF(ISBLANK(D3),"",A3+D3),A3+D3)

Cells Aren't Properly Aligned

Aug 5, 2008

I have some columns of data that won't get perfectly aligned. The numbers in all the cells are right aligned but the numbers in some of the cells are a few pixels to the left compared to some other cells that appear to be properly right aligned.

I have attached a screenshot if my explanation isn't clear.

Dropdown Down Menus Aren't Sorting With Their Cells

Oct 21, 2007

when I sort data columns that contain drop-down menus. My spreadsheet has several columns: "Patient name", "Room #", and "Phone #". Each cell within the "Phone #" column should have a drop-down validation list containing two possible entries: the room's designated telephone number, or NONE. Whenever I add a new patient to a room, these three columns need to be sorted alphabetically by patient name. But when I sort all three lists simultaneously, it looks great- but then I realize that the drop-down lists associated with each "Phone #" cell haven't sorted! They stay in their original location and don't sort with their cell. So the designated telephone numbers for each room are all screwed up.

Count Of Dates Less Than Current & Corresponding Cells Aren't Blank/Empty

Apr 19, 2008

I have a formula '= COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<"&TODAY())' that counts the number of expired dates in one column. I want to include a second condition to this formula that will check if another column of dates are blank then they should not be counted. So if for example a1:a2 have expired dates, and b1:b2 have both got dates then they should be included in the count.

Imported Data Creates Blank Cells That Aren't Really Blank

Feb 21, 2006

Here's what I'm attempting to do: For each column, X,Y, Z, I am attempting
to count nonblanks. However, the data was imported from Access and Oracle,
and Excel treats what appear to be blank cells as nonblanks. I've tested
this theory by highlighting a couple of "blank" cells and deleting them, and
my count changes. So, can I get Excel to put a value into my "blank" cells,
so then I could filter it out, or create a formula that would only count
dates in my columns (which is what I'm after).

This is what I'm looking at:

A B C
1 2/4/2006 2/6/2006 ("blank")
2 ("blank") 12/13/2005 1/7/2006
3 2/20/2006 1/15/2006 ("blank")

In each column if I use a COUNTA I'll get a total of 3, instead of 2 for A,
3 for B and 1 for C.

Rows That Should Be Selected Aren't

Nov 18, 2009

What I have just tried is click "Reset" in the macro menu and resaved the macro and the workbook, and the proper max/min lines seem to be working. However, I still feel a little unstable about it and will watch it closely.

(My next questions is how to "freeze pane" a row of headings on the results page and post the results onto row 2 and downward *without* deleted row 1)
Hello,

Here is my hurdle.
Could someone please look at the code below and see if there is a hint why all rows from the top all the way down (from R5 to R604) are outlined, when the code should successfully be stating already that if a value in the S column (to the right) is the maximum, then only outline the rows that across the R rows (up and down) that are the MIN? Then, those red-outlined rows should successfully display on the Results page.

It worked before, but I do not know now why all of the rows on the Details page are now selected.

Is there some indicator in the code that says outline everything?

Issue 2:
When I try to run the macro from a button I created, a pop up message says that the file is already open. If I take that literally, it is indeed true because I want the file open. Apparently Excel thinks I have 2 files open with the same title. It wants me to either close one of them or rename them, according to the message. But there isn't another file open according to my searching. What does that message really hint for me to do?

Excel 2007 :: Multiple Cells Equal To Other Cells

Jun 3, 2011

I am using Excel 2007, and here is my scenario. I have a spreadsheet with a different sheet for each month of the year. I want certain cells in a month's sheet to mirror or be equal to the same cell in the previous sheet so that if I change the value of a cell in April, the same cell will automatically be changed in May.

An example is that I have a cell with the value of "Comcast". If I want to change that value in April to "Directv", I want it to automatically change in May, too.

Now I know that I can individually program a cell to be equal to a cell in another sheet and it will do exactly what I want. The problem is that I have about 60 cells in each sheet that I want to mirror the same cells in the previous sheet, and I don't want the entire sheet to mirror the previous one. So with 11 months/sheets with cells mirroring the previous sheet, individually programming 660 cells and switching between sheets to do that would take a very long time.

So my question is this. Is there any way to select multiple cells and have them all mirror the same cells on a different sheet without my having to program each cell individually?

Compare (divide) Cells If Date In Corresponding Cells Are Equal?

Aug 6, 2013

I have two sets of data to compare. One is real world data, the other is forecasted data. I have real daily data for every day over about 3 months. The predictions though, there may be 4-6 predictions for ever one real daily value.

What I'd like to do is have a function that looks at Column A's date (real daily value) and Column C's date (predicted data) and if Column C equals Column A, then divide corresponding data in Column B by value in Column D.

Macros Aren't Printing As Instructed

Jul 19, 2006

Here's some code, written by assorted forum members (thanks again!). It is attached to a button and intended to print a report that is determined by the contents of cell Y4.

Sub PrintSingle()

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.DisplayAutomaticPageBreaks = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintArea = "$Y$4:$AG$21"
.Zoom = 95
.Orientation = xlLandscape
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1

End Sub

I've been using/testing this for a couple of weeks now and it has appeared to work exactly as intended. Today, however, as I've attached it to additional sheets, and begun testing them, I noticed that it isn't actually following the code in determining page setup options. The options selected in each individual sheet's setup box are overriding those specified in the code.

Apparently, the only reason it's been printing appropriately for the last couple weeks is because the options selected in the setup box for that particular page are the same as those specified in the macro.

How To Make Row Of Cells Equal A Column Of Cells

Feb 14, 2013

Say I have data in one tab that is cells

A9, B9, C9, D9, etc.

On the next tab, I want the cell in D5 to equal A9, D6 to equal B9, D7 to C9, etc.

I can't seem to lock the cell correctly to do this. If I use =A$9 in cell D5 and then copy down in cell D6 I'll get A$9 also, but if I use $A9, in D6 I'll get $A10.

Copy And Paste Area Aren't Same Size

Jun 26, 2014

I'm trying to paste the column that my code found into the blank cell C18, which may change in the future, but I got an error that I need to select the cell to paste the column to - I'm not getting the code right. Here's what I've tried:

For Each Cell In Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Range("1:1")
If Cell.Value Like "2014*" Then
BlankRow = Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)

Cell.EntireColumn.Copy Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Cells(BlankRow + 1).Select.Paste
Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Select
End If
Next

When I run this:
Cell.EntireColumn.Copy Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Cells(BlankRow + 1).Select.Paste
line gets highlighted and it says:
"Run Time error '424': Object Required"

This is the code that I tried when I got the paste error:
Cell.EntireColumn.Copy Sheets("Total Sell Dollars").Cells(BlankRow + 1)

and the error was: Run-time error '1004'
We can't paste because the Copy area and paste area aren't the same size.

Try one of the following:
Click one cell, then paste.
Select a rectangle that's the same size, then paste.

Once I paste the column that excel found, I want to go to the next column and paste the found column into the cell C19 - which may change in the future and so on until all the found columns with 2014 in them are pasted.

Warning Page If Macros Aren't Enabled

Jun 10, 2008

I'm making a little calculator thing for some of my colleagues, and I've created a warning sheet at the front in case their macro security is set to high or they disable macros.

The thing is, when the workbook is opened with macros enabled, and when it's closed, this warning sheet flashes briefly. Is there any way to avoid this?

My code is:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Form").Visible = True
Worksheets("Form").Activate
Worksheets("Enable macros").Visible = False
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Worksheets("Enable Macros").Visible = True
Worksheets("Form").Visible = False
Me.Save
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Cells Not Equal Even Though They Have The Same Data

Jul 17, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with Golf Stats on it, and on my latest import, the lookup stopped working. I am no longer able to look up any of the golfers names.I have attached a portion of the spreadsheet as an example.Lookup Failure.xlsx

Before the data was pulled in 'last name','first name' but is now 'first','last'... so that explains why I have the lookup column in Column A, because it used to convert the last,first format to first,last but that is besides the point. What my real problem is not being able to lookup Column D. As you can see in Cell L4, I tried to test if K4=D4 (Both say Nicolas Colsaerts but Excel does not say they are equal).

Link Data In Worksheets - Add / Deduct Formulas As Criteria Are / Aren't Met?

Dec 31, 2012

What can I do to link my worksheets together? I need the months to link from january to december.

I'm trying to come up with a system to maintain attendance of employees. How do I come up with a rolling system to add and deduct the points as their attendance changes? The goal of each employee is to have the least amount of points as possible, because he/she will be penalized once they receive a certain amount of points.

Let's say that Jane was hired in October. She has accumulated 10 points by December from tardies, call-ins, etc. By the end of January, she has perfect attendance; she is awarded half a point to be taken off toward her 10, giving her 9.5. In February, there is a day she does not show up, so now her total goes up to 12.5 (3 pointed added because of NCNS-no show no call). In March and April, she has perfect attendance, so now her total is 11.5. (half a point allowed for each month with perfect attendance)

By rolling, I mean a formula that will calculate continuously over month after month and have the points roll over month to month.

Compare If Multiple Cells Are Equal

I need to compare the data in three fields and if the same ignore but if different then add them with a space and a hyphen.

I use this formula for 2 fields and it works great I just can't get it to work with three.

=IF(TRIM(Data!BC2)=TRIM(Data!AY2),TRIM(Data!BC2),TRIM(Data!BC2)&" - "&TRIM(Data!AY2))

I use the trim command as the users entering data often add unnecessary spaces etc. and it combines the data even when the same.

SUM Array Counting If Two Cells Equal Zero

Apr 17, 2012

I'm trying to do a SUM array to count the number of instances where Column C AND Column D are equal to 0, but are NOT BLANK.

I tried the formula:

=SUM((C:C="0")*(D:D="0"))

But the answer comes up 0. However, if I use the formula:

=SUM((C:C=0)*(D:D=0))

The answer includes blank cells (as I assumed it would).

How do I get a SUM array to count only numerical zeros?

PS: If there's a much easier way to do this, I welcome those comments as well, though if it can be done in SUM array I'd love that answer as well.

Comparing 3 Cells As Equal Or Unequal

Mar 27, 2007

Columns E and F can have a 1 or a Zero
If e2, d3, e4 = all 0's or all 1's, count = 3 in col F
If either e2, d3 or e4 is not equal the count is 2 in F

Example

D E F
0
0
0 3
0 1 2
1 1 2
1 1 3

Also, why would this formula work with numbers but not letters?

=IF(B2="x",0,IF(C2="x",1,""))
