is there a way to get a formula to count a zero if it would normally return a negative value?
example
result = 100
target =300
result = -200
but i want it to show as zero
does this make sense?
i'll bet its really simple but i'm stuck
Is there a way to have a formula return only positive numbers? basically if the result is of this calucation (B4-(B3*B6)-(B6/2)*0.125) is >0, then return the result, if not return "" (or 0).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a formula and in it is a square root, i want the formula inside the square root always to be positive so i get a result.
Example:
(A1)
-1
(A2)
0
(A3)
-2
(C1)
=(A1)^0.25
(C2)
=(A2)^0.25
(C3)
=(A3)^0.25
Now i only get a result from the last two, but i want to use the modulus function so that instead of a maths error i get 1 for the first one, how do i do this?
I am trying to make a column show the result of a formula as positive number only. Right now the column subtracts two other cells and displays the result. I am trying to make it show all the results, positive or negative as positive.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a column of numbers such as

I need add a period in the following locations

I figured this out using a format rule of

I then need to make the numbers negative so I did

but this doesn't "stick", if I filter the numbers by negative numbers, none of them show up. So how do I make the formatting actually become the numbers? Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;After doing some more research I found the "precision as displayed" option. I can't find this option on Excel 2007, but I moved the files into 2003 and the option doesn't do anything. It is not permanently changing the column that I have added the formatting too.
I have attached an example. Basically I had this set up to calculate the row and give the answer at the end. But now I cant see the results without scrolling, so I want to move the answer fields to the C column and add new data into the D column while keeping all the data in the formula.

How can I have 2 cells display:-
i)highest streak of positive numbers = 4
ii)highest streak of negative numbers = 5?
Also, how can I have another 2 cells display:-

iv)the sum of the highest streak of negative numbers = -210
I'm trying to count the number of times a payment is made within a certain set of dates. I believe that I should be using a countifs function, but I'm not exactly sure how to program it. I have a number of months, say the last 12. And in each month a payment is made or it isn't made.

I'm trying to find a formula that will give me a count of all programs by month that have an evaluation result. So, in column A1:A24 I have a list of programs with. In cell A25, I have the total number of programs. In column B1:B24, only 7 of those programs have evaluation results, some of the rows are blank.
I know that I can get a sum of the programs by month, but how do I only get a count of those with an evaluation result? What formula can be used to get a year to date (a running count), not a count based on 12 months? Meaning that we would need a year to date for each month, so currently for October to June (based on fiscal). If we based it on year to date, then I think we would have to divide be 12 and that would make the results inaccurate.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do 2 things involving data validation. 1) Count the number of entries in a data validation dropdown list and display a result. 2) Use an If statement to pull the formatting from a cell into another cell.
An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.

Currently I have a few hidden fields for the DSUM Criteria. I start making the tables. And then filling in table based off of the month and year. Doing so I need 3 criteria:
>= First Day of the Month
<= Last Day of the Month
= ID #
The problem is it takes Excel too long to fill in the 3 criteria fields, calculate the result, copy the result, and place it into the correct place on the table. Is there another way to get this data into the correct tables faster? Instead of using DSUM?
If i have enter any number in negative may be in cell A1 (Usually here the values will be derived by formulas not by manual entry), then it should get the result in positive (only Negative value to positive value only sign change no magnitude / value change).
Now i am using in B1 <=IF(SIGN(A1)<0,A1*-1,A1)>, if any negative value found then in B1 i can get positive value. For example -57 in A1 = 57 in B1.
Now my question is instead using Complicated IF & SIGN formula if there is any simple formula available ?
If i want to sum A1+ A2 and A2 containes a negative number i only want to sum A1.

Exampel 2
A1, A2
5, -3 = 5 (A2 contains negative number only sum cell A1)

I was wondering how I can replicate Excel's function abs(), which simply gives an absolute value of some number. Is there a simpler way to do that rather than creating a loop to test a condition? For example, I have a line:
w_1 = Range("E2").Value / Range("E3").Value
w_1 can be either positive or negative depending on the sign of E2 and E3. But I need w_1 to be always positive, no matter what signs E2 and E3 have.
I tried
w_1=WorksheetFunction.Abs(Range("E2").Value / Range("E3").Value)
in a column let'e say A
I have the following values
Total
11
20
7
-10
30
-5

I have a spreadsheet of invoices and credits memos (500+ rows). Is there a way to match the positive and negatives that match? For example if there is -40.39 in one cell and positive 40.39 in another that it could highlight both those cells. I was thinking to do it in conditional formatting however I can not get it to work. It does not have to be fancy I just need to highlight them because there will not be a lot that do actually match.

I have a code below to only allow a number to be entered into one of 2 cells. I'm trying to do conditional formatting based on these to cells, and the evidence is showing that even when I type a value into either I21 or I22, they are taking on a value of zero.
I have conditional formatting stating that if I21>0, then do one thing. And in a separate cell, I have =I22>0, then do another thing. Neither works, and even using =I22<>0, then do formatting, and it doesn't work, telling me that the assumed value is always zero.
