Display TEXT Only Based On Number Rating And Calculations?
Jun 15, 2014
I am trying to display result of risk assessment matrix in excel. I have three columns PROBABILITY , IMPACT and RISK RATING (probability *impact).
Probability = Very Low(1), Low(2), Medium (3), High (4), Very High (5)
Impact = Low(1), Medium(2), High(3)
Risk Rating = Low (value between 1 -3), Medium (value between 4 - 6), High (value between 7 - 15)
Is there any way that I just use TEXT in the cell (visible to user) and excel does its magic in the background using the numbers that I have for each TEXT? I don't want to display numbers.
I have a list in Excel with several hundred 8 digit ID numbers in column D. Column C contains the total number of hours the student employee worked. Column E needs to calculate using two different equations depending on if the ID number in column D is a manager's. If the ID number is an employee the total hours worked is divided by 8. IF the ID number represents a manager the total hours worked is divided by 4. I've attempted this by using an array for the manager ID list and also using VLookup without success.
In essence I need to loop through column D, check which type of ID number is present, and then enter the correct formula in column E.
I have some delivery ratings from suppliers, and I want to assign a specific letter to each rating, depending of the obtained number. Criteria is:.........
I have a list of issues and depending on their priority would require a different target closure date e.g. low priority = 90 days, medium = 45 days, High = 10 days.
So if I have the following columns:
Issue No (Unique Ref #) Date Raised Priority (Low/Medium/High) Target Closure (based on the pre-determined criteria as detailed in above paragraph)
Can somebody suggest a formula to enter in the "Target Closure" column so it is automated?
Right now, in a column I would like to display an number (length of employment) based on the hire date.
In one cell the employee's hire date is entered. In a column of other cells the pay period ending date is displayed and in another column the length of employment is displayed.
How would I create a formula in the length of employment cells that would indicate the correct number of years based on the hire date and adjusts when the pay period date passes this hire date?
I am trying to display some text based on another value
This is what i am trying to achieve
Conditional formatting (Refers to range(O3-P6) =U3="A/L" (Then Display A/L in the cell) =U3="SICK" (Then Display SICK in the cell) =U3="OTHER" (Then Display OTHER in the cell)
We are working on having the spreadsheet display the correct options, depending on what criteria are chosen. There are three choices in the first criteria and two choices in the second criteria. These choices are presented using data validation so they will always be formatted correctly. Worked on conditional formatting to display results but did not make much progress. Started working on "if" statements to display results, looks like this may not be efficient. Spent a lot of time reading, trying to find a solution.
How can I drop the whole number part of a number and leaving only the decimal part of the number. Then multiply the decimal part of the number with a number. Then repeat this in a sequence. The object is to convert Lat and Long decimals to Hr. Min. Sec.
I would like to create a formula that compares a number in one cell to the dates I have displayed in two different cells. If true, then I want it to display the Currency value from another cell.
______A________B________C________D_____ |1| Due Date | Amount | 1/01/2007 | 1/15/2007 |2|___4________$98_______________________
A2 is the DAY it's due B2 is the AMT that is due
I can create an IF...THEN statement where if A2 is >= C1 BUT less than D1 then the value is B2, BUT it only works if I change A2 to an actual date which means i have to change it every month...which would not help with forecasting future transactions. So in the example above, the value would be in C2 and not D2.
I'm trying to write an IF formula that will return a number if the word in the adjacent cell begins with a specific letter. Here's what I want to show:
City 01
Express 02
Overnight 03
So "C" would return 01, "E" would return 02 and "O" would return 03.
Is It Possible To Embed Pictures So That When I Do Lookup A Code It Then Shows Me The Picture Of What It Is Im Looking For. Ie If I Was To Type In Kettle It Would Show Me A Picture Of A Kettle In The Next Cell?
I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it.
What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range.
I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck.
So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where:
If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3.
Is there a function that allows you to read column A for an ID (these may or may not include letters/numbers/"?", are non-sequential and are of variable lengths) and, if it is the first time that it has seen an ID column B will read "sample_1_arm_1", if its the second time it has seen an id it will read "sample_2_arm_1", etc? An example of what I am trying to do on a much larger scale:
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
I'm trying to create a completion statement on where I will add up the money my client has sent to me and also add up the money I need to pay out in order for them to complete their transaction. The end result I want is I would like to display whether my client has given me to much money and I need to repay them. Or if they haven't given me enough then I need to invoice them. I need excel to display for me after all the figures have been added and subtracted if the end figure is negative then display in D19 (balanced owed to you). If the end figure is positive (Balance required from you) display in D20.
I have numbers that will display in column G. I have payment types entered in column E. So if 'C FUEL','FA','C M/C', is entered in column E I want the number in column G to be red.
I've tried changing the cell format of some number values to text, so the numbers are not read and calculated in to certain formulas, but they're still included in the calculation. I need all values to display in the spreadsheet, but I need exclude a range that would vary.
Is it possible to just change the cell format, so numbers are ignored by a formula?
I have a formula that will be used by others to obtain a certain result by altering a number in the formula. What I would like to do is make that number obvious as the one that can be changed. The formula reads - "=(M48+P48+Q48)*0.08453-(((J48+K48)*$K$4)*0.1)" -what I would like to do is color the 0.08453 in the Formula Bar so it stands out.
I have an interest in horse racing and I use spreadsheets to help with my form study. I have reasonble knowledge generally of but am self taught.
What I want to be able to do automatically is to re rate 6 columns (shown with yellow at the top)(columns BA-BF)in a worksheet after scratching occur. I have away of eliminating the ratings out of the 6 columns after scratchings but would like to rerate the columns so the ratings start at 1 and rate up. Now when a zero appears it needs to stay a zero as that means it has no rating but where a blank occurs it would indicate a scratched horse. I want to keep the number of rows without deleting any for the scratched horses so it matches other worksheets I use and also need to keep the horses in race order.Hope this makes sense.
I am trying to create a table, based on what people predict in sports games. I have most of it in place, but I have hit a brick wall where one part of it is concerned. For example, cells M43:M56 have the scores for each week of what one person predicted., so it could be 2,5,7,2 and so on. What I then need the table to do is determine which round or week it is and display the relevant score. So based on the above let's say it's round 3, and his score would be 7 for the week, and the cell to the right of this shows the week's score plus his total score so far.
hence if any of the rating falls in a cell need a formula to corresponds that (lets say in cell "A1" if the rating is 85% then result should be "Very Good")
1. I'm trying to show the formula of specific cells in the work sheet. So far I've only found out how to show formulas on the entire worksheet. I imagine there has to be some way of me doing this without using macros.
2. Here's the doozy. What I'm trying to do is use the base code for a formula that is stored in one cell (Formula Page: B5:B7) and apply it to other cells (Calc Page: C4:C6). In other words, I want to apply the cell formula from B5:B7 to the cells C4:C6 and use them to calculate the TOTAL COST. I want it so that whenever I manipulate cells B5:B7, they are also appropriately manipulated in C4:C6.

If I input any FX pair (Column B) without ???JPY in it, then the formula in Column K produces the correct result. Formula is: eg: If Column B = EURUSD pairs and the like: =IF(C3="L",F3-E3,IF(C3="S",E3-F3))*10000.
This formula will produce a +ve or -ve result in points (PIPS) based on the values of E3 and F3. (eg. E3 = 1.2800 & F3 = 1.2750. If C3 = L then the result is -50. Conversely if C3 = S then the result is 50.)
When I input the JPY pairs in Column B, I need the formula to calculate the same way but multiply by 100 (not 10,000). This is because all non JPY cross pairs have 4 decimal places and JPY cross pairs have 2 decimal places. (eg. 1 PIP in EURUSD = .0001, 1 PIP in USDJPY = .01).....
So if Column B = USDJPY the formula would need to be: =IF(C3="L",F3-E3,IF(C3="S",E3-F3))*100 . Have tried many combination's of the IF function but am now starting to think this is not quite the right formula for this situation. Attached is a sample of what I am trying to achieve. The formula would need to incorporate any/all variations in currency pairs as listed in the attached sample.
i've been viewing different formuals, and have to admit there is alot more to excel than I originally thought, and totally stumped as to what and how to go about my problem.
I have a problem, and it mainly stems from my employer not paying me correctly (and pretty much the other 1600 odd employees encounter the same issue too on a semi-regular basis).
To give you a run down, this is our complexed pay system
Mon-Fri, if you work up to 7h36m you get 100%, then 150% until 10h36 and then 200% after 10h36m working time Sat, if you work, its 150% upto 7h36m and then 200% there after Sun, double time all shift But to throw in some complicated things, here are some more items that need to be considered. If you work from one day into the next (say fri into sat, and sat into sun and sun into mon, then after midnight, it then goes to that days rates) If you work your day off, say a weekday, your then paid the eqivelant of saturdays rates unless you were called in straight away which then is sundays rates If you work your day off, say its a saturday or sunday, then its 200% for the whole shift. And then public holidays, its 250% upto 7h36 and 300% thereafter
So as you can see, its pretty complicated, and my employer (a government employer) can't seem to get the right software to pay us correctly, nor can the poor employee sometimes work out if they've been paid correctly or not.
So, this is what I have so far: columns: Day, Type (normal day or work day off or work day off immediate), On1, Sign Off1, Sign On2, Sign Off2, Sign On3, Sign Off3, Working Time, Paid hours (for instance its my normal rostered monday, I start at 12pm, lunch at 5, return at 545 then finish at 915pm, which equates to 8h30m working time and 8h57m paid time) - the 3rd sign on and sign off is if we do extra work beyond our shift.
There are other things aswell like allowances, but thats for another day, and not as urgent as what i'm really looking for.
Now if anyone can understand what i've just written above, your doing pretty good (even some of the most experience employees still don't understan our pay system), and anyone able to produce a formula for what i'm looking for, i'd be exceptionally grateful, and probably the 1600 odd other employees too who seem to get shafted occassionally.
I am working up a workbook template that will be used to process survey results. The way I ultimatley want it to work is that the user can paste data from another application into a worksheet in Excel, and then view analysed results on a second sheet (which are processed via formulae on a third, hidden sheet).
The problem I have is this: the data from the program that's capturing them are text values. For example, column B contains answers to a question where participants rate an experience, and the values are either "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor", "Awful". I want these to be converted to numerical values, on a scale where "Excellent" = 5 and "Awful" = 1, so that I can then average these.
So, the question is: Can I somehow tell Excel that "Excellent" = 5 and "Good" = 4 etc, and then use AVERAGE(B:B) on the text data and get a number back?
I did think of having an intermediate sheet that used VLOOKUP to create a copy of the first sheet (where the user pastes the text data) with the text replaced by numbers. But, because I don't know in advance how many rows will contain data (i.e. how many survey results there will be), I have to assume on the high side and copy down 50,000 rows. But, this takes ages to calculate.
I have a file with four sheets – File1, File2, Association and LookList. File1&2 are totalled, as is Association sheet but then are checked against each other using the totals. What I need to do is the following (but I am not sure how to do it using macro…)
Step 1 - ‘File1’ Sheet – It all comes in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range (it may vary to 40k records!) into numbers and total each column. (I know the principal behind it – have a total variable for ColB, loop through and when it finds >0 then increment buy one and output under the last cell in that column – but I do not know the macro code)
Step 2 - ‘File2’ Sheet – Again, it's in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range into numbers and total each column(would contain same amount of records as Step1!) .
Step 3 - ‘Association’ – same steps as for File 1 (again – same number of records).
Step 4 - THEN (and I have NO IDEA how to do this!...) I need to check the File1 & File2 against Association using the lookup and return the Serial number and the Association heading that does not match on a fourth sheet.
The problem is that – for example – Field-1 consists total of more than one column – contains 3 but could contain a total of up to 6 columns! - I understand excel formula ‘vlookup’ but am not sure how to do it when it is a combination of columns and even less when applying it to this! – In fact, for a macro I am not even sure what column format the lookup list should be!
