Work Around To The 7 Function Limit With The IF Function
Nov 11, 2008
I'm comfortable with the IF statements in excel and not familir with many of the other functions available to me. I am trying to create a character calulator for Elder Scrolls III (Marrowind). So that a person may enter their race, ***, and other choices and their by calculating all starting stats. There are 10 races you can choose from and I can cover 9 of them with the if function (leaving one as if all other options are false). I would like to know if there is a better way such as a drop down list or some way to search an array or anything that would be better suited to search the race cell and return data if it's true. I'm running into the same probably with choosing the constalation (13 choices in this catagory).
I thought to split it two different data fields, by letting you choose from 4 in one cell and the other 9 in a different cell, but realized I don't know how to make it check two different cells for a choice to return it to the display cell without hitting the limitation of the 7 nested funcations in a forumla again.

What I'm trying to do is get the MAX function to return a value, but that value needs to come before the values reach zero. It's a cubic equation that basically starts, at the beginning of the data range, under 10 then hits zero and ends up near 30 at the end of the data range. The end data range max doesn't matter to me if the data range hits zero along the way. Is there any way to make the MAX function stop at a certain value, or is there another function that could accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I have a check box on a worksheet that when checked calls for a timer code from a module. This works fine however what I am finding is that the code in the module is applying the result all the sheets in the workbook not just the sheet where I have activated the check box. I am a novice at VBA and no doubt there will be a simple solution. How do I limit this to my active sheet. This is the code in the module
Code:
Public Sub Watch1()
If Sheet2.CheckBox1 = True Then
Range("AH2") = Range("AH2") + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
[Code]....

I am currently using the simple code block below to jump to a cell on another sheet based on a user-inputted value to a cell on the current sheet. Although jump is too strong a word at the moment...walk slowly might be more appropriate.
The problem is that the sheet that contains the target cell hosts a very sizable used range and the FIND function can sometimes take almost a minute before finding and focussing on the required cell.
While I do not believe that a search range below that of sheet level for the FIND() function is possible, the cell that I am looking to jump to resides in a one-column, sorted, dynamic named range (=Bookings!JobID) on the target sheet, so I am sure that it must be possible to find and go the target cell in a much quicker timeframe than that being delivered at the moment. Just can't find something suitable at the moment.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?

I want to perform a very easy calculation, but i don't want that the calculation gets made if there is a 0 value within in. There are two values who are the main inputs if 1 of those 2 equal zero i don't want the calculation to be made, or when they are both zero. So far i came up with the following:=IF(OR(API167=0,API186=0),0,API167-API186)/(API167+API186)/2 that only works if one of the two values is zero.
Next question is that i want to sum up the row with the values calculated with the formula above, disregarding the zero values. This sum function must be devided by the amount of values which are used as input(so disregarding the zero's)

I'm using the prob() function, and it works for no more than 61 random numbers. Does anyone know of a limit on the number of random numbers used in the function, and whether it's possible to use more numbers in the function? My formula is:
=PROB($C$11:$C$71,$L$11:$L$71,G11,H11)

I’m using excel 2003 and I need help with the MODE function. I have a spreadsheet with 142 work types’ rows of work with each one showing the last 13 months of work received. I have set up a mode function for each work type, but for the ones when excel cannot work out the mode it puts n/a in and I have to do them manually, by looking at the last 13 months data and basically guessing a mode figure – which is a pain (e.g. if there was 13 different numbers from say 120 – 135 excel would give n/a but I would put the mode at around 128. As this spreadsheet gets updated monthly is there a way I can trick excel into giving a mode figure, or a figure close to what the mode should be. I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet.

Goal: To extract the barcode (numbers and letters between B/C: and , P/G) from the following string:
"Codec B/C: A01234567, P/G: 123456728912345"
Current Function: =MID(A1,(FIND("B/C:",A1)+5),(FIND("P/G:",A1)-14))
Problem: I need this function to work for barcodes of varying lengths. For example, in some cases the barcode may be 8 characters long and at other times the barcode will be 14 characters long etc.Below is a screenshot of how I have this currently set up in excel.

I have a very large spreadsheet with the following columns: WO# (number field); Start date (date format MM/DD/YYYY); Frequency (text); and craft (number). I am trying to have code that checks the frequency and if is "Monthly" or "Weekly" it just goes on to the next row; if it is "Annual", it adds 163 to the start date (start date needs to changed to a numeric field); if it is "Semi-annual", it adds 82 to the start date; if it is "Quarterly", it adds 45 to the start date; and so on, there about 20m different frequencies. After it adds the above value to the start date, I need to check if that number is less than today's date (the day I run the code). If it is, it needs to flagged as "LATE" and the whole row of info copied to another worksheet with LATE as the title and all the column headings and info copied to the worksheet. I hope this makes sense to someone because I am a beginner in Excel and even less informed when it comes to VBA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The way the process must work is that I need to check the frequency and if it is "Weekly" or "Monthly" , it is ignored and goes on to the next row. All other frequencies are cut in half, i.e., "Annual" is 183 days, "Semi-annual is 92 days", "Quarterly" is 45 days, "2-Year" is 365 days, and so on. This number needs to added to the scheduled start date (now formatted as a number, not a date, and checked to see if it is smaller than today's date (also a number). If it is, it is reported on the second worksheet (titled Late).

i have written a code in VBA to interpolate the value of Y0 corresponding to X0 using a set of (X,Y) points. (I have written this in module1) . This function works when i call it through a Sub or another Function in VBA. but it does not work when I try to use it as a function in my excel worksheets (when I type : =interpolate(A1:A10,B1:B10,30) .... 30 is an arbitrary value). in this case I get #value! error
The function is known in within the worksheets because when I start typing its name, the Auto Name Complete feature of excel, finds this function.
I am new to VAB for excel. Please give me a hint to see my mistakes of if something is missing inside my code.
PHP
Public Function Interpolate(ByRef X() As Double, ByRef Y() As Double, ByRef X0 As Double) As Double Dim I As Integer, Slope As Double, NData As Integer NData = UBound(X) For I = 1 To UBound(X) - 1 If (X(I) = X0) Then Interpolate = Y(I) Exit Function ElseIf (X0 < ListMax(X(I), X(I + 1)) And X0 > ListMin(X(I), X(I + 1))) Then Slope = (Y(I) - Y(I + 1)) / (X(I) - X(I + 1)) Interpolate = Y(I + 1) + Slope * (X0 - X(I + 1)) Exit Function End If Next I End FunctionPublic Function ListMax(ParamArray ListItems() As Variant) Dim I As Integer ListMax = ListItems(0) For I = 0 To UBound(ListItems()) If ListItems(I) > ListMax Then ListMax = ListItems(I) Next IEnd FunctionPublic Function ListMin(ParamArray ListItems() As Variant) Dim I As Integer ListMin = ListItems(0) For I = 0 To UBound(ListItems()) If ListItems(I) < ListMin Then ListMin = ListItems(I) Next IEnd Function

I have a large amount of student demographic, course, and class data on an
Excel worksheet for an entire school district. The ethnic code for each
student is a single alpha character. I need to find a way to get a total for
each ethnic code in each course when filtering by each course.
Each column of data has a header and I am using the Auto-filter feature for
filtering. Is there a way that the COUNTIF function can be set up for each
ethnic code so that it will count from the filtered data? If not, is there
any other function, or nested functions, that will work?

I am having issues with a min if formula, even though i enter it as an array (ctrl +shift+enter), it only returns a zero.
The formula is supposed to return the earliest date from Raw data if the name of the company matches the one from the data validation ('Company lookup'!D3).
Dates are in column D and company name in column M
I checked, the dates are all formatted as dates
=MIN(IF(RAW!$M:$M,'Company lookup'!D3,RAW!$D:$D))

I have problem with a spreadsheet that I am trying to create.
I have a large sheet of data which is dumped in from another program. This contains our deliveries and orders etc.
Now for planning purposes, I would like to see how much of each item I have on order.
I can use VLOOKUP, but that will only give me the amount for the first order it encounters. But not the 3rd, 4th etc. I could use SUMIF but I need the dates as well. After doing some searching I think I have found a way of doing this: I can get the first easier enough:
=VLOOKUP(D$11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,5,FALSE), this gives the first order than the another =VLOOKUP(D11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,11,FALSE) for its date.
For the second column to check any other orders I thought I could find the cell referance for the first SEARCH: which is
A108: ="A"&MATCH(D11,'purchase order'!A:A,0).
Is there any way of using this Reference to start a new VLOOKUP. So the Lookup Range starts at this reference?? To make things harder it is on another sheet.

I had an "If" formula that would grab my numeric data from one cell and dump it into the corresponding cell depending on my letter code. I had to change my code vales from apha to numeric. I enclosed the attached spreadsheet and highlighted the cells in yellow that are in my formula that don't work any longer. I was hoping someone may have a solution.

I'm coping and pasting data (html) into a worksheet. When I try to format some of the columns as accounting$, number, ect. They won't format. It looks as if there are spaces before and after the data. So I tried the trim and clean function but it doesn't work, so I guess the blank "spaces" are not really spaces.
It gets better...
When I do the same exact copy and paste (as html) on another persons computer, they are able to format just fine, and the "spaces" are removed automatically.
Why is this working on one computer but not the other? Is it a setting that my computer has enabled or disabled? If so, what is it?

I have written a user-defined function that searches for a small range within a larger range. The function requires two input parameters: the range you are looking for, and the range you want to look within.
For example, I might look for the string of values in cells A1:D1 in a larger range E1:H20. The function returns the row number in the larger range where the smaller range is found.
My problem is this: The function is working fine when I call it from another sub procedure. However, when I try to run it as a worksheet function, I get a "#VALUE!" error. The function pops up in the "insert function" menu, and it prompts for the two input parameters.

First I want to copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" then in column J in the same row, the background color will change like conditional format on numbers. The code works when copy the calculations from sheet "Calc" to sheet "Cost" but the color function (codes in sheet "Cost") does not work after pasted in sheet "Cost". But the color funtion does works when enter numbers in Column J alone. I know there must be a simple codes that can do this while paste from other sheet. This code is in module

I tried to answer a problem on here by giving this formula: = COUNTIF(A1:B6,"=""")
but it doesn't work on my machine. Nor does =COUNTIF(A1:B6,"<>"""). In either case, the effect is as if all cells in the range are non-blank. But the result of =A1="" is "TRUE". Neither syntax is rejected by Excel; in fact, if you omit one of the quotes, the syntax is corrected to the form shown. So I am curious. Does this work normally, but some setting in my machine is stopping it? Or, if it never works, why is it not giving a syntax error? I am using Excel 2000.

I've been left with a macro built in 2010--but I need it to run in 2003.
I've identified a Remove Duplicates function as the cause of a bug, how to translate this to a 2003-friendly macro? This will be an action in a much longer macro. What I am trying to do is check for duplicates in a particular column (Column C), and remove any duplicate row (it doesn't matter which duplicate is removed).
VB:
'Remove duplicates
Sheets("Input sheet").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$4:$H$2005").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=3, Header:= _
