I have a spreadsheet which connects to a SQL Server and updates a data set.
Is there a way to place a function or a formula I can use to show when the data set was last updated?
Is it possible to set something up on a spreadsheet which shows who last updated a cell and when they did it? I have a huge spreadhseet with lots of data on which gets updated by a number of users, they update a lot of different cells and this leads to errors being made with the data in the spreadsheet.
is a way I can show who updated a cell and what date - is this doable?
I have a column of percentages where I only want to show 1 decimal place if the value is less than 1%. The rest of the percentages I want without decimal detail.
I've tried custom formats and cant quiet get it right. Am I close with this?
[>1]#.#%;###%
I have a table set up that calculates feet and inches. My problem is that if I have an answer like 2'-0 3/8", it suppresses the zero. I tried setting the format up like ##"'" ##"''" ?/? with no luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to place cell value into one function (I cannot modify this function it is built in) .
For example:
Function is
CODE
A2=KGF
=ABCDFE_(my value of A2 thus KGF)_GHIJKL
Thus the end result:
=ABCDFE_KGF_GHIJKL
I can concatenate the string but I cannot evaluate it .
=CONCATENATE("ABCDFE_",A2,"_GHIJKL")
is there a way to do it ?
I have a spreadsheet that has filters in it. I want to randomly select one of the lines that is still visible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that VBA doesn't always slim down workbook size and calculations are calculations whether in VBA or Formula format; but in this instance, do you think VBA would be a better choice? This workbook is currently enormous in size and slow, and I think I can slim it down if I used the right VBA procedures. However, Im not certain what those procedures would be.
On two seperate worksheets in a workbook, I have a column that contains a formula that references a third sheet.
Sheet 1 = "Order"
Sheet 2 = "Turn-in"
Sheet 3 = "Bank"
Ok, here's the scenario: On the "Order" sheet, I have a list of orders from my company; on the "turn-In" sheet, a list of turn-ins. The "Bank" sheet lists ALL transactions (ORDER AND TURN-IN).
On both the turn-in and Order sheets, the formula is pretty much the same; it references a different column on the bank sheet, but does it the exact same way. Ok... The Order sheet lists all order from the company by order number (column A); the formula uses that order number and finds the transaction on the "Bank" sheet and returns the order cost as the result. however, the order numbers on the bank sheet have a 5 digit prefix on them (the prefix is the same on all orders, its used by the bank but only orders with my 5 digit prefix are on the list sent to me and pasted to this sheet. So all orders on bank sheet have the same prefix)
The below formula is in Cell C10 on "Order" Sheet; Column C lists the Cost reported by the bank. The formula below references the Bank sheet database, looks for an order number that matches the order number in A10 (Adding the prefix of course), and returns a cooresponding cost for that transaction.
=IF(ISBLANK(A10),"",IF(COUNTIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,("ECGGT"&A10))>1,"",SUMIF(BANK!$A$4:$W$10001,"ECGGT"&$A10,BANK!$F$4)))
I know this seems long for what it is, but it has to add the prefix, and then match the order number, and reference the cooresponding cost.
The kicker, this forumla is in more than 10,000 cells; 6,000 on the order sheet, and 5,000 on the turn-in sheet. Of course the references are a little different, but the principle is the same for all of them.
Is there a way to do this in VBA to save space and resources? This formula is really dragging.
Any function in Excel, that would allow me to have a unit cost price (for example: 0.5432) and then for a table of figures containing the pack sizes to determine the correct unit price that would allow all pack costs to be at 2 decimal places. I have included an example below:
My spreadsheet would look like the following:
Cell A1 (Unit Cost Price) = .5814
Cell A3 (Pack of 75 units) = .5814*75 = 43.605
Cell A4 (Pack of 80 units) = .5814*80 = 46.512
Cell A5 (Pack of 100 units) = .5814*100 = 58.14
and so on
I need some way of making cell A1 change to a value that will cause all cells A3 to A5 to be 2 decimal places or less.
I am after a macro to do the following, my visual basic skills are very limited (non existant):- Look at the date in cell A1 on Sheet 'Live Report' and err 'remember it' Copy a range of cells from A3 to A10 on 'Live Report' Go to sheet 'Monthly Summary' and find the date that had been remembered previously (this date will be in column A on 'Monthly Summary' which will probably be a mixture of values and formulas). After the date has been found paste special and transpose the 'values only' copied range from 'Live Report' (A3 to A10) in column B on 'Monthly Summary' next to the date that has been found in Column A.

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?
I have a huge worksheet that contains four character payer code in column D for example: 9081, M897, 0235. I am looking for a function that will show the result in column AD
IF payer code in column D starts with a 9 (9???) - GOVT
IF payer code in column D starts with a 7 (7???) or M (M???) - MNGD
IF payer code in column D starts with a 2 or 0 (zero) – COMM
IF payer code in column D starts with either Z, I, C - PTR
I tried IF function, but it didn’t work for me.
I am trying to write Excel VBA on Mac. Need to use the Dir function to get the file name in my document folder, but it showed only one file in the folder "DS_Store". There are actually several Excel files in the directory just don't show up by using this function. I have done some research on this "DS_Store" file, it seems a hidden/system file for Mac. It's fine, but it really doesn't make sense that other files won't show. Also, when writing VBA for Windows, *.xls refers to any file with a .xls extension. How to express the same thing for Mac? I am new with Mac, it just works so different than Windows.
View 9 Replies View RelatedPossible to use concatenate function to enter a formula to a cell and have the cell show the result?
I enter the following in a cell:
=CONCATENATE("=LEN(""",A2,"""",")") 'A2 contains the string "Exchange rate: 925"
what is shown in the cell is:
=LEN("Exchange rate: 925")
If I manually enter the above len function in the next cell, the cell displays 18.
Is it possible to use the concatenate function, maybe combine with other functions, to display 18 in a cell?

View 3 Replies View RelatedNormally, when we use the =MAX() function, figures / numbers will appear. Is there any formula that can show the row the highest data is in? Let's just say that the figure is 3080 and it is under 'Transportation' row. Generally, when I apply =MAX() fx, 3080 will appear. Is it possible for it to show Transportation by using formula instead?

View 10 Replies View RelatedBasically, I have a worksheet that shows test results for 6 separate tests. If an objective is met in a test then it is marked with an "X". If an objective is partially met then it is marked with a "/" and if it is not met then it is marked with a "." . I have now created a combined column where I want to collate whether an objective has been met at all across the 6 tests.
For e.g. if in the range H14:M14 there is an "X" then N14 should show "X". If there is no "X" but there is a "/" then N14 should show "/" and it there are neither values in the range then it will show "." .
I tried
[Code] ....
but it just came back with a formula error.
The following are on a sheet:
A1 = 5700
B1 = 235
C1 = 17:14
D1 = 5922
$E$1 = 09:01
$F$1= 3
$E$1 and $F$1 are (the only) absolutes/constants.
A2 contains the following:
=IF(A1>D1,B1,IF(A1+B1<D1,"d",IF(AND(C1<$E$1,B1<$F$1),"",B1))))
This translates as:
=IF(5700>5922,235,IF(5700+235<5922,"d",IF(AND(7:14<09:01,235<3),"",235))))
The result is a variable/number (235), "d" or a blank cell ("").
This formula is in a column and works fine where there are numbers in corresponding cells. The problem arises with corresponding cells which appear blank (show no values) but contain references to other cells: they result in a "d" when nothing should be displayed.
So while a corresponding blank cell is correct if it shows no values, it gives me this problem - I don't want "d" or anything.
For example if I were to take the data in cells d3($358), d4($321), d5($130), d6($82) and skip a cell to now make the same data into cells d3, d5, d7, d9. Next, the data in cells f3, f4, f5, f6 would be merge into the blank cells of d4, d6, d8, d10.
The final result would look like column B. I have over two years of sales data in two separate columns that I need to merged into one column. Is there easier way without a simple cut and paste one cell at a time as this would take an enormous amount of time to complete? I’m not that good with VBA codes so a formula works good, but if VBA is the way to go then tell how to enter it on my worksheet.

I have a grid that I need to lookup and return the project hours for each system from the data set. The grid has the projects listed in the rows and the systems listed across the columns. The data set has a list of each projects systems hours. I am having problems with the formula when the data set has multiple records (multiple systems) for each project. It seems very simple, but I just can't get my arms around it. Please see the attached for example.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a set of 5,800+ data points between 0 and 1 that I would like to multiply together. When I use PRODUCT for the whole set, the formula returns 0. However, I can use a smaller subset of the data to return a very small number. I'm curious if Excel has a closest-number-to-0 or number-of-cells-for-PRODUCT limitation. Is there another way to perform this calculation?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was recently helped very much by the forum moderator and code from D_Rennie in a file to transpose about 25,000 rows into a few organized columns. The code worked very well. I have a slightly new twist on the problem. I have uploaded a different file with a different data structure in the columns but the same need for the data to be transposed to the columns under the same headings. This VBA worked very well before, but I can't seem to re-use it for this new dataset.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which has general usage and summary data at the top for ease of use. Begining at Row 15 the data is a standard table which includes columns for the following.
Cust Name | Status | Loan Amt | etc.
I have created a macro to make it easier to add new data rows at the top of the data already in the file (this makes it easier to view with the newest data at the top). I would like to create a conditional sum of the data in "Loan Amt" if the value in "Status" ="Active". I had no problem achieving this with the conditional sum tool but the problem is that the range changes whenever a new row is added to the top of the list. Unfortunately the range in the conditional sum adjusts as the old data shifts down for the new row and the sum does not contain the new row data.
I have to do a search on a dataset (about 3000 entries) and part of the exercise is to look in some project titles if there is a country or other key words included.
I have look on the web and unable to find a formula that works. Basically what I want to do is to have a formula a looks in the column of titles for a list of keywords on another sheet in the same book.
a macro (that i will link to a control button) that will autofilter a data set. The problem i have is the macro i wrote below, It might not be the best looking macro in the world, but it would work for my purposes if i can get the part that does the autofiltering to be more dynamic. meaning, instead of a hard coding "Retail" in the macro, id like it to reference a cell so that the user can type whatever they want, then click the button and it will filter based on what they type in.
this is what i have
Sub Filter_Button()
With Sheet2
AutoFilterMode = False
Range("A6:M6").AutoFilter
Range("A6:M6").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="Retail"
End With
End Sub
