Formula Works A Treat Except When Text Is Entered
Nov 10, 2008
The problem i have is with the sum offset function. The formula i use is to sum up the totals for each page of an accounts document. At the top of each page there is a column with " £ p " in it and i use that as the basis of the formula. This formula is entered in the bottom of every page to calculate the total for each page.
=SUM(OFFSET(F211,-(ROW(F211)-MATCH("£*",$F$1:F210,1)-1),0,ROW(F211)-MATCH("£*",$F$1:F210,1)-1,1))
This works all the time but when text is entered into column F (the column i'm adding up) it messes up with the formula. the formula will instead find the £ p but for a page 2/3 pages before the one i'm calculating on. This formula only faults when text is entered. Another thing; this excel sheet i'm working on is an output from a different computer program. it is outputted as csv file i think.
Like i said the formula works a treat except when text is entered. The obvious way around this not to enter text but that is not an ideal option. I cannot think of another way of calculating the total for each page although i'm sure another exists.

I created a vb macro to open a text file then process the file then close the file. Here is my problem:
Problem: THe text file has rows of data in it as follows
5155111111551511111111111511111111111111111
This row of text gets converted to
5.16E+42
because excel treats the row of text as a number but i dont want it to do this transition.
When i save the file and then reopen it using say NOTEPAD i see 5.16E+42 and not the long string of text.

I tried formatting the numbers to "text" and still got undesirable results.
Below is the data I have. The numbers on the left are part numbers and the numbers on the right are the times they're used. I would like the part numbers to be on the x axis and the times they're used (73, 42, etc.) to be on the y axis. Pretty simple right? Change the part numbers to text, highlight both columns and insert a column chart, piece of cake.
Instead what is actually showing is a series of "1 - 9" on the x axis and a range from 0 - 50,000 on the y axis which it thinks the part numbers are even though I have them formatted as text.
490125
73
221261
42
490189
42

I want to check if numbers are smaller than a specific number, but my problem is that the numbers I want to check is formatted as text. Is it possible to rewrite this formula so it works:
Code:
=SUMIFS(myTable[Amount]; myTable[Number]; "

My macro sorts fine and includes everything I want but I have extra cells for adding new data that contain a formula. When my macro sorts it places all empty cells at the top of the list then the data. When I delete the hidden formulas the sort places the empty cells at the bottom of my list like I want. Is there any way to code my macro to treat all cells that contain only the formula(not the data) as empty? The only thing the formula is, is a reference to another sheet ie. ='Sheet6'!$A$6.

I am making a buiness card request form, which I have attached. On the Master Sheet (Sheet 1), the user enters in his/her personal data, such as his name address, phone number, etc. After he/she finished entering all the relevant data, Business Card Layout (Sheet 2) automatically populates and shows the user what their business card will look like.
Everything works fine, however I just realized that the contact information might vary from person to person. Right now, a person can enter 5 different contact information, but most of them will probably only choose four.
I wanted to know how to shift the cells down if the user does not fill out one of the contact information.

I want to do a vlookup between two tabs on a date in cell A1 eg 01-Apr-08
The lookup needs to be on month and year so I'm using
=Month(A1) which gives an answer 4 in cell A2
=Year(A1) which gives an answer 2008 in cell B2
I then oncatenate the results (=A2&B2) to get a unique reference 12008 - works ok
On the second tab, I've repeated the formula, I get an answer of 1 and 2008 but when I concatenate, I get a #VALUE!
I've tried
"text to columns"
unchecked Protect on the cells
worksheet is not protected
on the 1 and 2008 and concatenated result

This script works great in 2003 in formatting text brought from Access, but fails in 97 - unfortunately I don't have direct access to Excel 97 - can anyone with it (or with a compendious knowledge of the differences!)

I am trying to conditionally format using AND() to reference if there is a value in the top line of a table and the title in the right most column for each cell in the table, the formula I am using works when i paste it into cells (i get the correct TRUE or FALSE for each cell in the sheet) but is not working as a format formula, I dont get an error but the shading does not happen.
The formula:
=AND(OFFSET($A$1,0,(COLUMN()-1),1,1)"",INDIRECT("a"&ROW())="Item1")

The formula I'm using is
Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(OFFSET(A10,-2,0),VLOOKUP(OFFSET(A10,-1,0),prim!$D$1:$I$263,5),VLOOKUP(OFFSET(A10,-1,0),prim!$D$1:$I$263,6))
But it doesn't work at all on one worksheet, half works on another, and works sometimes on another.
In the worksheet attached called workbook 4, it works a15 sheet 2, but not a10 sheet 2. But that was not always the case. In the worksheet attached justification copy, it works in a14 sheet 4 but not in a10 but for a good while it didn't work in both. In my own private doc it doesn't work in both cases.

I have this formula :
=SUM(F25:M25*$F$6:$M$6)
It works great in xl2003, and it works properly in XL2007 until you try and change it. I changed the column F to Column D and now it gives me a #value.
How can I re-work this for xl2007?

Private Sub Zero()
If Range("G8").Value = "" Then
Range("G8").Value = "0"
End If
End Sub
I have this listed in as code for VBA. If I hit the "Run Sub/User Form" button on that screen, with the field G8 having nothing in it (having hit "Delete" just prior), it resets the field to "0".
But when I hit delete on the worksheet, the field just sits there......no zero, no nothing.

Im using the following code on a User login userform. This code is for the Login command button to access the workbook (the user clicks on it after entering there username and password).
For some reason if the password is numbers only it just returns message box "Incorrect password, try again."
As soon as I put a single letter into the password it works fine,

I have a nifty formula brought to me by one of the excellent members on this board. It works perfectly for what I want, but I must admit I cheated, I have a problem that was similar to the problem this formula rectified and I find myself not knowing how it works.
=IF('IIC Transfer Status'!O139="x",MIN('IIC Transfer Status'!K139+10-WEEKDAY('IIC Transfer Status'!K139-{1,3})), "" )
What Im wondering is if someone could enlighten me as to what is happening in this function, so Im not as blind to assume it is magic.
Eventually I need it to be customed tailored to work in this way: I have a column of dates, I want it to look at column A and if there is a date in it ADD 4 WEEKDAYS (business days) and return the resulting date.
i.e date in column a is march 19 plus 4 business days. Result in column B march 23.
If someone can explain how this string works that would be great, or if someone could just post a suitable function, that would work for now.

I figured out exactly what I wanted to do and got it to work in a test excel sheet. However, when integrating it into the actual workbook I wanted, I was unable to get it to work. So, I used the same cell references I need to work in my actual workbook and pasted it all back to the test excel sheet.
So, the test excel sheet has the working formulas up at the top, and a duplicate of what I need to work in the actual cells I need them to work in. Changing the shift start time should group any persons with the same shift togethor. I'm still fairly new, but I think the only portion that could have been changed is the portion that says 1:1.. I figure that is relative to the array so it shouldn't be changed, but not sure what else to do.
Here's an array formula that works:
[Code]....
Here's the array formula to be in the correct cells that doesn't work:

How to to get it to work in the different cell area.

I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.

I am trying to search through an excel worksheet using the code below. I have a Form containg a text boxes and a command button (SearchTxt, FindCmd). The VBA program is able to search through XL but (1) It does not set the next value or text in a the worksheet active
(2) It only finds a value or text as an entire cell and not as a set of characters in a cell.
I tried to use Cells.Find method that solves the above problems, but i get an error message-Object variable not set (91) .
Private Sub FindCmd_Click()
Dim Rng1 As Variant
If SearchTxt.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter Vendor Number.", vbOKOnly, "Error"
End If
Set Rng1 = Range("A1:F10000").Find(what:=SearchTxt.Text, Lookat:=xlWhole, _
LookIn:=xlValues, SearchDirection:=xlNext)
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot Find" & " " & SearchTxt.Text & ".", vbOKOnly, "Sorry"
Else
Rng1.Activate
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

I have a formula in a cell....let's say column B.
It basically says "If column A is empty,then = 24:00, otherwise = column A".
It works fine and displays as 24:00 in the proper cells, but if you try to add all the 24:00 together it doesn't work. I guess the simple question is, how do I hard code a proper time value from an If Statement.
e.g. =IF(A1="",24:00,A1)

I have attached a sample of the issue. The formula is found in cell B49. If I enter a gravity of 2.76 or higher in cell B47 I get #N/A in cell B49. Why will it not read any farther over than 2.75. I have been starring at this for awhile now. I might look pretty dumb after someone else looks at it.

When you enter something into Column H, the value of =NOW() should appear in Column K.
The original code only went up to row 212 and it works fine. Now I need it to do the same up to row 411 but get the "Procedure too large" error.

I am trying to get a user form to popup when text is manually entered into a certain cell. Right now the cell has a drop down in it that the user can select from a list of people. What I would like is that if the person is not in the dropdown list they can enter their name in the cell or select not in list and a user form will popup and ask them to enter their name and weight which will then be put into a different cell. This may be a complicated way to do this but the workbook is very complicated as is already and I cant figure out anything else to work.

Any way where is a list of cells (b3:b113) has text entered, or specific text entered, it will enter a static cell in the corresponding "d" column.
I know of CTRL + ; but i don't really know how to get it to work as a macro, can't find a forumla that enters the static date, and i don't want to make a macro to copy + paste special the date when it happens.
So all i should have to do is entered text in column b, then it will add a time stamp, when that text was entered, it doesn't have to update.
Like all i need is this, but instead of the "now()" function, it will have another function that doesn't automatically update?
=IF(ISBLANK(E5)=FALSE,NOW(),"")

Is there any way I can make it so an image is hyperlinked to a cell with specific text entered. After clicking on the image, the cell where the image is hyperlinked to changes text.
For example:
An image of a strawberry is hyperlinked to a cell which contains the word "strawberry".
After clicking on the strawberry image, the cell which contained the word "strawberry" now contains the word "strawberry1".
If you understand that, I would so love the help.
