Why Counif Formula And Filter Option Not Give Same Results On Excel
Aug 24, 2012
I am using countif formula to count number of times each name appears in a row, but when I use the filter opeion and select a specific name, and highlight the whole row, the 'count' at bottom right of excel screen does not show same count as the outcome of countif. why is this so?Shouldnt they both be the same?
I have multiple sheets in excel file. Every sheet having same information for different areas. e.g. The bug was reported. One sheet might have answer in YES and other sheet might have No. I need to get answer YES if even one of sheet contains YES for the field.
Surely it's user error, but it honestly seems like Excel is not calculating 2 numbers correctly. At work, we have office 2010 where it is not calc'ing correctly; at home I have 2007 and it's fine, but anyway, here's my situation:
Cell A1: 0.003529 Cell B1: 0.48
If i put in Cell C1: "=B1/A1" i get a value of 136.000000 But that's not correct, it should be 136.01587... But if in Cell C1 i put "=0.48/.003529" then i get 136.01587...which is correct.
Why does using cell references in my formula give me the incorrect value?
If i use text to columns using comma as a separator, it does not give me the desired results when I have a text like "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL". I want this display as "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL". But if i use this feature, I get "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA" in one column and "IL" in another column. Ideally I want it to show "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL" in a single column.
I have several option groups (Y & N in each) linked to cells to display TRUE / FALSE depending on which option is selected in each group. I have another cell which I want to apply conditional formatting to if EITHER Y or N is selected in all groups. At present I use COUNTIF to check for FALSE=0 in the linked cells which works if all the answers are Y. How do I apply CF if there is a mixture of Y & N (TRUE / FALSE) in all groups (I'm not sure if I've explained that well or not).
I am in the process of making a database more efficient and am running into a problem with sorting data. I currently am trying to use AutoFilter to sort the data. When I want to then narrow the results further using the same column as the critical and there is nothing that matches the critical, I get everything from the entire database that matches that critical rather than what I want to see, which, in this case, would be nothing.
I have attached a sample file. In it, when All AF 1000 is run and then Selected MAC 2000 Wash is run, I want to see no results instead of seeing all MAC 2000 Washes from the original data set. I can do it using IF/THEN but I am looking for a faster way to do it.
Any way to select the last option in a filter list for a pivot using VBA? I already have code to elminate certain critera that I don't want but there is a date column which will change and I will always want to select the last date in the list. Is there a way that I can get VBA to simply look in the filter options and select the last one?
I setup a named formula: Spread1 =Sheet1!$E$2:$BE$2 where I entered % values to spread a an annualized figure over 53 weeks
On Sheet 2 I entered the amount to spread in $D$2 and in $E.. I entered my formula: =Spread1 * $D$2. Everything appeared great!
But then I deleted a few columns on sheet2 so first calculation is now in $G$2
Spread1: =Sheet1!$E$2:$BE$2 Calculations: Sheet2! $G2:$BG$2 (the values in I,J,k while summing to the total are in the incorrect weeks based on the spread on Sheet1, BF and BG have #VALUE! errors)
Seems odd, if I highlight "Spread1" in the formula bar and [F9] I see an array of 53 possible values and the 3 values I expect are in the place in the array (elements 5,6,7).
How I can defeat it with the possibility that a user may delete a column?
I have been modifying a workbook and the original macro will send to the sheet Results once the "Search" button is clicked, but I have found that this macro is displaying duplicate records. Can anyone help me put in an auto filter to find only unique records? My second workaround option is if someone can help me remove the go to/select sheet option from the "Search" macro so that a user will not automatically be sent to the Results tab and will instead hit the "Confirm Category Selection" button (which auto filters before sending the user to the Results tab).
I have some data in sheet1 with 10 columns and 5000 rows. I want to filter the data with 2 criterios.
When I go to 4th column and Click custom filter, I will give one criteria and select "or" and give another criteria. SO I will get the result in sheet1, I need to copy the data and paste the same in sheet 2 with the header.
The problem is, I need to filter more than 20 times giving the criteria and copy the result and paste in sheet 2 one after the other.
So i need a macro to solve this time consuming work.
I just paste the two criteria either in a text box or some cells and run the macro. the macro has to filter the data in sheet1 based on my input.( that is criteria1 or criteria 2) and the result should be pasted in sheet2 with the headers. Again I delete the values in my input cell, and paste the new values, and run the macro, that result should be pasted after the first result, with the header. (would be great if that is pasted leaving one row above, that is if the first result is pasted in sheet 2 till 10th Row, then the send result should be pasted in 12th row and so on..
the similar kind of question with some changes, I posted in the below link with http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...in-sheet2.html
I have a very large spreadsheet (almost 9000 rows). I have filters on all columns, however when I click to see all the results for the column under the filter, just to view the contents of the row, some are not there. Does a filter have a limitted amount of rows it can hold.
I have spreadsheet that tracks flights between cities. The spreadsheet has become quite large, so I need a few simple tools or tricks to search it efficiently.
To keep things simple: the spreadsheet has "Departs" and "Arrives" columns, tracking the cities on either end of a flight. (See below)
If my boss says, "give me a list of all flights going through New York," I have to manually filter for "New York" in the "Departs" column, copy that to another spreadsheet, then filter again for "New York" in the "Arrives" column, and manually glue the results together. In my little toy example, that's not a big deal, but when there are up to a couple hundred flights (and just as many cities), this gets tedious and error-prone.
Is there some handy way of filtering for "New York" in both the "Departs" and "Arrives" columns? Or some other way of achieving the same thing? ("Find All" isn't useful unless I can export the full rows into a spreadsheet.)
I have a basic spreadsheet with a column of names of people (Matt, John, Mike), and specific sales numbers for each. I would like to have a cell give an average of the sales numbers based on how I filter for either Matt, John, or Mike individually.
For example: If I filter to see only Matt, I would like to see the average for Matt only, and when I filter to another name such as John, I would like to see the average number change to see only John's.
I have a range that has formulas that are based on other fcells outside the range.
What I want to do is, if the cell has a value to remove the formula and paste the results. If the filed is blank (no results from the formula) to leave the formula in place.
There could be a marco to run when this process is needed.
I have a workbook with multiple sheets , final sheet has a data of all sheets , in the first sheet i want to select what results to be shown in that final sheet ,, specially the week and the LDM
I want to filter my results using a combo box on my spreadsheet. I don't mind how this is done, even if it just hides all of the information which isn't relevant. I've done it with a VLookup but I want to be able to edit it easily without the formula popping up. So if you click Barlcays, only barclays appears. I'd also like a button to reset if possible. I've attached an example of how I sort of want it to work.
how to return data to a second sheet if data selected via a filter.
i have attached spreadsheet i am working on and looking to make this as easy as possible
on sheet "data" cell f2 im looking to return all goals scored by hull on sheet "data" cell f3 im looking to return all goals conceded by hull
on sheet "data" cell f5 im looking to return all goals scored by hull at home this i will need to do by selecting hull in "home team" filter hull
on sheet "data" cell f6 im looking to return all goals conceded by hull at home this i will need to do by selecting hull in "home team" filter hull
on sheet "data" cell f8 im looking to return hulls last 6 games as over and under which in this example will return the last 6 rows 27-32 and will read 4 under 2 over
on sheet "data" cell f9 im looking to return hulls last 6 games at home as over and under which in this example will return the last 6 rows 22/23/26/27/29/32 and will read 3 under 3 over
A friend of mine asked if there is a formula that will add the "Y"'s and "N"'s based off of a filter per certain dates. Below is a brief example.
2/18/2009Y 8/15/2006N 2/18/2009Y 8/15/2006N 4/6/2005 N 4/6/2005 N
We want to be able to sort by dates so regardless of which date we pick, below the Y's and N's will be the total for the Y's and N's that are visible. If sorted by April, it will show 2 N's and 0 Y's, and so on. Is there any formula out there that can do this.
I'm trying to get certain data from an export of a phone logging report for a call center. I have exported this data into an excel spreadsheet. I would now like to retrieve the following information from the sheet.
'Agent name, Date, time of Login, time of Logout (at end of day).'
I have coloured these fields in red for easy finding. I do not require anything else from this data, however, within this sheet there are multiple agent names and can span for over a month. All names and dates are required. I have attached the current sheet, and also what it will possibly look like once complete. I would prefer the whole process to be automated if possible.
I am trying to create formula that will show overtime worked in a given day. The code I am using is a simple one ([ cell - 8], for hours worked). The problem is when the time cells are blank/not used it shows a -8 in the cell. what I need to do to create a code that will eliminate the -8 from showing. The cell its self is taking the result from another cell with a formula and then subtracting 8 from the result of the formula in the other cell.
i have a work book of 12 sheets, the two main sheets 1+2 have 5000+ rows. by 30 columns. each row column b is a site number in ascending order(up to 4 for each site) so auto filter select = to site 5 about 10 seconds later i get the result of 3 sites try site 846 30 odd seconds later up pops the result. so i copied the sheet to a new work book and tried and it's nigh on instantaneous. next step copied sheet paste special values into new sheet in same original workbook and tried filter on that still slow as ever, thing is this book around 8meg and i cant for the life of me work out why ive cleared excessive formats and reset last cell on each sheet. there is a vlookup from sheet 1 to 2 for each site to return serial numbers. i have tried it in vba by turning autocal off/on but still no difference.
I created a user form that provides a menu that allows users to perform advanced filtering. They can also scroll through the results freely. A problem is that a subsequent advanced filter selection does not always display the top row of filtered records, depending upon what the user has chosen to display prior to selecting the next set of filtered records.
How can I make the top row of filtered records always be displayed so that users will not overlook results of advanced filter operations?
But what do I use to count-unique values of variable D ?
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(RangeD,RangeD)>0,1)) doesn't work. =SUM(1/COUNTIF(RangeD,RangeD&"")) doesn't work either
They don't work because D can occur during different combinations of A,B and C. In other words, the D value of 'Smith' can, and does, occur when A is 1,2 or 3 and additionally when B is Pass, Fail, Withdrawn.
They "don't work" because I can use filters on A, B, C and D to see what the correct answer should be .. and the function doesn't return the correct answer.
I hope I've explained this ok - I've been searching on several excel-help websites for 2 days now and one of the days my client is going to want some results.
I have the following code that copies only the visible cells in an auto filter...how could I modify this code to paste only the values and not the format?
