I'm trying to SUM a column, but it has a negative number in it. I want to sum the column but ignore the negative number.
I.E.
5
46
12
-15
3
so the total would be 66. How is this possible or would i have to use another formula instead of SUM.
I have the following code in a user form, attached to a data field that the user should fill. This code should alert the user if he enters a negative number i.s.o. a positive (and vise versa). Due language related issues, it is quite possible that the user will enter (by mistake) a negative sign but it will be at the end (500-) and the user will not notice this mistake. For some reason, my code does not pick up on this, and does not pop up the error message. Therefore, I decided that I need to check if the value entered by the user also contains a “-“ at the end of the string. This, I believe, will take care of the problem.
In excel, I would simply enter a formula with Mid and Len (to check if the last character is “-“) , but I don’t know how to implement it in my code.
Sub txt_sum_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
'Verify that a negative sign was added for expenses
With Me.txt_sum
Select Case cbo_act
Case "Expense",
If Me.txt_sum.Value > 0 Then
MsgBox "Number must be negative"
End If
Case "Income"
If Me.txt_sum.Value < 0 Then
MsgBox "Number must be positive"
End If
End Select
End With
End Sub
I would like to be able to enter numbers into a cell as a positive number, but have them actually display as negative in that cell.

I have a column that orders fine a-z except for the fact that it doesn't group words together with hyphens e.g.:
1.my-flies
2.myflies
3.my-fly
4.myfly
when I want it to be
1.my-flies
2.my-fly
3.myfly
4.myflies
I have a column of numbers that are derived with a formula. I need to Average only the ones that either have a Positive or Negative number, ignoring blanks or zero.
I have tried Search but couldn't find anything that address both blank and zero.

With this small sample, the answer should be 3.35% according to Excel when I choose just those neg and pos cells.
I have a spreadsheet where i do need to count cells values that are formatted as text but i do need to ignore the real text in some cells, in this formula i do need to add values depending of the adjacent cell.
I have attached a example : New Microsoft Excel Worksheet.xlsx‎
I am trying to create a formula which will look at the data in columns A - I (50 rows) and copy this data to columns K - S but ignoring any blank cells. Thereby consolidating the data in the upper rows with no spaces.

I'm trying (with little success) to match some negatives and positives, but the formulas that I found on line keep on picking up all matches (just like a VLOOKUP formula)
23
23
-23
The formula would match the -23 with the 2 positive 23s. This formula goes in Column O
I have a question regarding calculating percentage differences, here is how our formula works, but I've done a little research regarding using negative number for percentage calculations and am not sure...
For sample:
this year (TY) we had net profit of $200 million
last year (LY) we had net loss of -$32 million
our formula works kinda like this:
=IF(B49="","-",IF(B49=0,0,D49/B49-1))
but if, the comparing numbers is negative should I convert that to an absolute number using ABS ? what if both numbers are negative ?
The way I understand the current formula is like this:
if B49 is blank, then insert a dash, otherwise IF B49 is 0, then 0 (since we can't divide by 0), otherwise do the formula.
Long Version: This should be a fairly simple question, with a solution involving unchecking a box somewhere, but I can't find it. Whenever I enter a number in parentheses (for example: "(187.13)") into a cell Excel automatically converts that number to a negative--- "(187.13)" becomes "-187.13". I've been using the apostrophe option as a workaround (i.e., '(187.13)) to store it as text instead of a number, but this is becoming a hassle because it recognizes that (187.13) is a number and alerts me with an error message of numbers being stored as text.
Short Version: Basically, I want it to stop automatically making "(187.13)" become "-187.13" but I don't know where the setting is.
Let us say that this is a certain cash flow
Year - Cash flow
2007 - (200)
2008 - (100)
2009 - 50
2010 - 100
2011 - 200
2012 - (100)
2013 - (25)
2014 - 50
2015 - 300
For year 2007,2008,2012 and 2013, we have negative cash.
I want to compute for the investment cost, which I define to be the total accumulated cost before first positive cash. First positive cash occurs at 2009, so I want to sum 2007 and 2008, However, 2012 and 2013 also reports negative cash, so in the SUM formula, their values will be included.
How should I write the formula in order to sum all the negative cash before positive cash, disregarding all the other cash flows thereafter (be it positive or negative)?
i'm looking for a formula that gives the greatest number of a range
problem is that there are positive and negative numbers in the range
but I only want to look at the value (+/- signs are not important)
I use keyboard commands whenever possible. They are much quicker than the mouse.
For years I have been using [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[1] to format cells as numeric with two decimal places, 1000 separator(,) and showing negative numbers in black with a minus sign in front.
I like to see negatives in red with parenthesis.
look at my attachment and see what I am doing wrong in my formula? I have a hard time understanding the Sumproduct formula and when to use comma's, double negatives, addition, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my formula and it returns: -55 bps.
=[ASK.xls]QTR!$AT$81&" "&"bps"
However, I want it to return (55 bps). I don't want to just add the parenthesis because in the future this formula could return a positive number. I tried to format the cell differently, but that did not work.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
This is what I need:
Columns B, C, D & E are all populated with 3 digit numbers.
I would like column F to automatically populate with any of the 3 digit numbers that share two numbers, i.e.
F2 might look like this (using 00 as the pair):
001, 040
F3 might look like this (using 01 as the pair):
701, 051, 110, 001, 120
F4 might look like this (using 12 as the pair):
123, 721, 281, 912, 112, 120
etc...
Say column A has either numbers or text in each cell, I need a macro to only get each number in each cell that is not a duplicate of a number in any previous cell and list each number found down column B.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a spreadsheet with about 400 rows and 10 columns. All the numbers in the columns are formatted as text, which doesn't allow me to use AutoSum. I have selected the cells and formatted them as number with no decimals, but AutoSum still doesn't work because the formatting hasn't changed and they're still formatted as text. I know if I double click each cell, the cell changes the format from text to number, but that will take a lot of time to change 400 cells in each of the 10 columns. What can I do to quickly reformat the cells from text to number?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!
For example from this
invoice #1 / reconciled (DATE)
invoice #2 / reconciled (DATE)
To this:
invoice #1 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
invoice #2 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
