Large Order Spreadsheet With 3 Date Related Columns
May 15, 2007
I have a large order spreadsheet with 3 date related columns. One for customer requested delivery date, one for factory quoted delivery date and one for actual delivery date.
I want to be able to set something up that if it gets near either the requested or quoted delivery date (by say a week), that the cell flags red so it's a visual reminder to check whether the order has been dispatched etc.
I have a lot of data to try and summarize but they are in multiple smaller tables. I wish to only extract 2 variables, 'number' and 'total' from all of my smaller tables (lots of them) so the problem looks like this, i have these tables for example where the 'total' title is in a different column depending on which of the smaller tables you are looking at:
cat 1 cat 2 cat 3 total
[Code]....
I am trying to get:
number Total 123456 30 234567 60
[Code]...
Because the number column is fixed and all of the smaller tables will all have a number in the same column maybe i can insert a column next to the number column and say "find the value where the column title is 'total' - however the location of the column title would change so not sure if this would work? I was also thinking of sorting the columns but that will not work either because of the smaller multiple tables?
I have a large spreadsheet with over 50 columns. Many colleagues use the sheet and often use the format, hide, column function to hide columns they do not need but then the next user has to unhide them and re-hide others until they are left with the different columns they require.
Is there anyway of creating a menu which allows users to select from a list of all the columns those they wish to display, all the others therefore being hidden.

About descending and related to each others, I mean for example : #700 in column A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H places in the same row and the same happen to #1533.954 and others. About the numbers that are The One ( like 549.894), I need to put them in its column and a new row with empty cells in its other columns. In the end i want a table like this:
I have a page of planetary symbols (astrology) in 3 columns (A,B,C ) in date order, that I'd like to copy across on the same line (date) ,to a designated column on the same sheet, in order of the ColD symbol it won't show here properly as there's no astro font, just tried it.
eg A B C D E F date Mercury 180 Venus Mercury180Venus " Venus 60 Mars Venus 60 Mars " Jupiter 30 Venus Jupiter 30 Venus
here, we have Venus copied to same line in ColE Mars " " " ColF how to sort the columns, Cols B,C & D themselves could be resorted instead into the order of the ColD symbol-- so I'd have colA, date-- the B,C,D sorted by D, into about 8 Cols to the right
I need a way to re-order an excel worksheets columns based on another worksheet.
Data is extracted from a database into excel however users can configure the columns in the initial system. to how they like This causes problems when the data is copied into an excel spreadsheet I have created as the data copied will not be in the same column order as is required.
How can i reorder the columns without physically having to cut and paste the columns to match?
I have attached a sample spreadsheet.
You will see on the spreadsheet that 'fixed columns' is the order that i require the data however 'variable columns' is not in the same order.
I want to write a formula so that if an item in column A = " name" and column B = " date" (name and date to be selected from a drop-down box), then it will return the adjacent cells text in column C.
For example; ColAColBColC nick01-Marabc ltd mick01-Mardeliver it dan02-Mardiy nick03-Margo ltd mick04-Marfreebie dan03-Marhelp ltd
If I select "nick" and "3/3/08", then the formula will return "go ltd". I know how to do filters, my aim is to create a master sheet and then for someone else to be able to select their name and a month. The month will then update a mocked up calendar (i.e. a 7 by 5 sheet where cell A1 = Date selected, A2 = Date+1, A3 = Date+2 etc). I've attached a basic mockup of what I want to do. If I select nick and march, the yellow highlighted cells should populate in C9 and E9 with abc ltd and go ltd, the others blank.
Basically, when you select Fred and 4, I want to to display 601, 799, 1023, and 1547 in the columns to the left of where you do the selection. (which is not in the same place as that table at the top of this question.
I need to create a formula that will calculate the status of a customer based upon an input code and the relevent date.
The attached workbook is very simplified but should help.
Sheet1 contains the date of input (col A) for the client (col B) plus a code in column C to help ascertain the initial status of the a/c.
In Sheet2 (col B) I need a formula or possibly a VBA solution that will create a commission status for clients with 'N' in column C of Sheet1 which is current for 8 weeks after the input date in Sheet1. Thereafter this status then need to show say an 'S' for standard commission.
This result will be linked to the date shown in B2 on Sheet2. Just to make it clear, I only need a letter as the result to trigger off the actual commission calculations.
I have a very large spreadsheet that was exported from an ecommerce site with close to 1000 products. I have one column that I need to extract some text from. This column holds all of the html from the product description and is huge. I only need to extract the actual description of the product, but am having a very hard time figuring out how to do it. I've tried using the mid, left, and right function; but not all of the html is the same so it's not really working the way I need it to.
I have multiple tags throughout the html that I can use with the mid function, but there is more than one occurrence of them. So, how can I tell it to start at the 4th occurrence? I've spent countless hours searching, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to excel and I don't even know what to search for. I end up looking through sites that explain how to pull the Y out of XYZ, which is what I need, just on a much larger (and more complicated) scale.
It was suggested that I set up a macro that will find the 4th occurrence of the word, and then uses the mid function to pull the data out, but when I try to find the word, it says it doesn't exist even though I can see it right in front of me.
I need to be able to convert a large spreadsheet to pdf for sending to a commercial printer. The spreadsheet is a family tree and covers an area a1 to ca107. The printers normally do the conversion from an emailed copy of the .xls file but charge for this.
Printing will be done on a wide carriage printer so the pdf has to be one sheet not a large number of a4. I have a copy of Acrobat but cannot work out how to get the spreadsheet to save as one sheet.
I have created a sample spreadsheet (the real data is sensitive) but I am basically faced with a spreadsheet of many columns of which I would like to remove the 4th,5th, 8th,9th, 12th, 13th etc...
So every 3rd column starting from Column B, and also every 3rd starting from Column C, (every 3rd, and every 3rd + 1 starting from B?), it's obvious what I'm after from the spreadsheet I've provided.
Unfortunately manually isn't an option, this needs doing every week, and it goes all the way across to column HZ!
Need the code to put into a command button which jumps from the cell selected, X number of cells to the right. Also will need the code to jump back again when clicking on a different command button.
I have multiple large spreadsheets of questionnaire data. Responses are as %'s What I would like to do is use conditional formatting to pick out the top 3 of each set of questions per column not including 0% (if it falls in the top 3). Using different shades of green in the cell background and a white font.
so.....
The spreadsheets are up to 3000 rows long and up to column BB wide. The sets of questions are of random length spaced by an empty row. So question 1 may have 11 parts to it, each taking up a row so 12 rows in total. Question 2 may have 5 parts taking up row each so 6 rows in total...............Question 80 may have 7 parts so 8 rows in total and on and on.
What I have been doing is working down the first column of responses and manually adding the conditional formatting. Then using the format painter to copy across the relevant rows and columns. For example if Question one was from c5:bb26 I would format c$5:c$26 with the top three then use format painter to drag across to bb5:bb26 ...
I have a master list that is updated in real time by linked worksheets from several people. While my actual report covers 7 managers and 7 different products (“contract types” in this example), I have summarized and simplified the input in the attached file. There are three pertinent dates – the date assigned to the manager (col A), the date completed by the manager (col F), and the date approved by the executive (Col G).
These dates will span month ends and I need to be able to provide monthly reports that provide details on the number of contracts and the dollar value all contracts assigned and completed by the manager during the month (say, February) as well as any contracts assigned in any month which remain uncompleted at the current month-end (e.g. the $7,500 Smith contract assigned on Feb 21st that remains uncompleted and the Feb 26th $200 Jones contract which was uncompleted at Feb 28th, but completed in early March, in this example). Can this be done directly in a Pivot table from the full master list, or will I need to have separate sheets in my workbook where I extract the pertinent records for that month?
I'm have Excel 2010 and Windows XP. Each week I get 3 spreadsheets and each has data unique to it. Each spreadsheet has a week number column which is common to all three. I want to combine the three worksheets into one and make create several dynamic charts for management. How should I organize a large spreadsheet? In addition to my week number I have a host of other date fields. Some of the data I get is (1) vehicle VIN numbers (2) City/State/Country (3a) I break up the VIN to give me vehicle type (3b) year of assembly (3c) car type (3d) number of doors (4) mileage (5) complaint (7) defect code etc. etc. What are the do's and don't when setting up a large spreadsheet? I have data by week which goes back to 2006 and so my date fields go top-down. I inherited the three spreadsheets and would like everything under one roof, so to speak. One spreadsheet which I can make my charts.
I am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
I have a large spreadsheet which contains multiple rows of rate data by employee. I have sorted by effective date with most recent date on the top to get the most recent rate of pay, however, is there a way or formula to be able to identify or extract the previous rate of pay after that? I have included a sample below. There are different #'s of rows of rate of pay based on how long someone has been in company, as well as different rates of pay and effective dates.
I have a large spreadsheet (1000-plus entries) that all have about 10 or 15 columns of information (product title, product number, etc).
I also made a form that I want to use as a master form, where all the titles will not change.
What I am wanting to do is, by going off the product number, when you click it, this pre-made master form will pop up, and all the information that was located on the large spreadsheet for this product number will be inserted where it is designated to be on the master form.
While I could probably do something like this through Access, we need to keep it on Excel, and in the same workbook so that it will automatically update things once I put a new number or input onto the large spreadsheet.
I work with Excel 2010 and have a very large spreadsheet with data that I need to manipulate in several different ways. I have been filtering and then cutting and pasting but this is very time consuming . Is there a way to extract specific data from the spreadsheet and transfer it to different worksheets? I don't really know how to use macros.
i have some large reports that i get each day and have to sort into date time order and only keep the newest occurance based on column 2
at the moment i have a vba that converts the list to space delimetd columns, then selects all sorts into date time order, then deletes dupliactes as of column 2 keeping the most recent,
is there a more efficient way just to keep the most recent occurance and removing the rest
example file. so the 2nd row would be what i am left with
I have inherited a series of Word reports containing links to charts in several Excel files. I can tell by the link in Word that one of the charts is named 'Chart 6'. Is there an easy way to locate which chart in the Excel file is 'Chart 6' (and on and on for all of the other charts linked in the Word doc)? There are upwards of 21 charts in each Excel file linked to each of the Word reports. I am using 2007 but the files are in 2003 format because of limitations of the program from which the data comes for the charts.
I have a very large spreadsheet that is a consolidation of approximately 105 separate of contacts lists. The new consolidated spreadsheet contains demographic data, and a column for the name of each of the 105 lists. Each contact in the consolidated list had an "X" placed in the column if they were a member of that particular list. Each contact can be in more than one list. This is not very useful for me.
Here's a visual representation of the current list along with what I need:
I would like to add a column to the spreadsheet and call it "Source"
And then have a macro or VB script to do the following:
1. As shown above, put the column name (ie "List2") in the "Source" column whenever there is an "X" in that row for the corresponding Column. 2. Because each contact can be in more than one list, I need to append the column names so that "Source" column contains all of the column names (Lists) that had an "X" 3. Once all of the list names have been added to the "Source" column, I will delete the list columns.
the form works fine and is loading the data to the spreadsheet and inserting it into the first empty row. I need to reverse the order of entry into the spreadsheet. So instead of the data from the form going into the first empty row down the spreadsheet, I need to insert the data in a common fixed row at the top of the sheet, every time and then shift the older data out of the row and down the sheet. Essentially putting the oldest data at the bottom and the newest at the top, which is reverse of the EROW entry process, Last row command would essentially do the same thing and I don't know what command would do what I want.
I am building Food Stand Orders Record Table, which I would like to automate and reduce the data entry process as much as possible so that it will take as long to enter all 400 orders into the spreadsheet and mitigate errors and calculate totals. I am looking for ideas as to how to make this easier to update. Also, I am not set on the concept of the spreadsheet, if there is a better way to capture this data.
Below is a list of columns in my Order Record Spreadsheet: My spreadsheet start on A5. The Header row is A5:N5
No. = record input number Order # = The number of the order taken (i.e. 35306 – 11, 35306 – 12) Item = The Items sold from each order # Item Category = Was the item sold a special order or standard order Date = The date the items and orders were sold Time = The time the order was taken Quantity = how many of the item was sold for that order # Order Taker = record of who (order taker) took the order # Item Price = What is the price of one unit x the quantity of the item sold Total Order = What is the total cost of each item price associated with the same order # Cash Received = We only accept cash, what was the cash tendered with the order# Change = What is the change amount given to back to the customer associated with the order # Donation Received = Is the change amount, When customer associated with order# did not accept the Change. Notes = special notes related to the order#
How do I make the column headings appear when I'm working on a large spread sheet so I don't have to scroll to the top each time to see where I am. This is on Excel 2007.
