The attached workbook contains a cell with validation list selection and a look up function. The validation list selection works fine, but the look up function is coming up with the wrong results on several items. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have a problem regarding calculated field.. i have data of sales of a distributor with all the accounts that he handles.. i want to get the total number of buying accounts for that distributor..
buying account is an account that bought a specific product for at least one time... even the account buy 2 or 3 times more for that specific product the account is considered as 1 buying account..
i want to use a pivot table so i can manipulate the data.. first i tried to add an additional field to my data and put the formula
"if(norbo_val>0,1,0)" where norbo_val is the total sales less the rejects. it means if ever an account have positive sales the account is considered as a buying account for that specific product. my problem is that when that account bought the same product for 2 or more times it sums all the times an account bought for that specific product..
so i decide to remove the field in my data and create a calculated field in the pivot table. i input the same formula to the calculated field and it gives me the correct result where if ever an account bought a specific product for at least one time regardless on how many times the account bought that same product, the account is considered as 1 buying account. the only problem i am encountering now is that the grand total is not summing up the total numbers of buying accounts if i list all the accounts. it seems the formula is affecting the grand total where it should add the total of buying accounts but instead using the formula of the calculated field so the result is only 1.
I have a VBA subroutine that builds a list of dates in an array and then copies this to the worksheet using worksheetfunction.transpose. The array is two dimensional and therefore uses the variant data type.
This works fine in Excel 2002. In Excel 2003 the array is fine until the Transpose function is used, at this point they are changed from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. This means that some dates are changed (eg: 01/Mar/2008 becomes 03/Jan/2008) and some are written as strings (eg: 17/Mar/2008 becomes the string "17/03/2008" and cannot be operated on as a date).
I'm aware that there was a hotfix to deal with a similar issue regarding recalculation but this is on Excel 2003 SP3 which should already have that hotfix in place.
I have reduced my code down to a basic demonstration showing the problem. This assumes the worksheet contains some dates in "A2:A32". I have also attached the workbook containing this code.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim a() As Variant, c As Integer
Redim a(1 To 31)
For c = 1 To 31
a(c) = Cells(1 + c, 1)
Next c
Range("D2:D32") = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(a)
End Sub
I have fixed this problem by looping through each element of the array and writing them individually in to cells but this is far slower so I'd like to know if there is a better solution than that.
I have a spreadsheet that lists a set of actions and the days they need to be completed.
The due dates are listed in column c and in column h I have a the user choosing "completed" from a drop down data validation.
I have a dashboard on a separate worksheet, showing if the item is complete and the due date.
Ideally I would like to display the dates on the dashboard in red if they are past due, and the box in column h was not marked complete.
I have been going through my books and trying to solve this, but I run into a different issues.
Even if for now If I can get the main worksheet to display the color conditional formatting that would work
There are dates in column C and I need to count how many days are coming due within 90 days of each date based on the today() function but do not exceed the 90 days.

I'm trying to figure out an Internal Rate of Return for a spreadsheet. The answer is supposed to be: 29.42% however I'm getting 25.94%. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in my IRR function on the Profitability worksheet? I'm currently using Excel 2007 by the way.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was trying to explain modulus to someone and they wanted to know why you can "flip" symbols mod(-6,7) = 1 in Excel. So I got to explaining that -6 Mod 7 is the same as -6-(|-6/7|)*7 which is how you get 1.
And that's when I realized... |-6/7| = 0 not -1. Then I looked in VBA and sure enough -6 mod 7 = -6. Apparently the problem boils down to the Integer conversion. Excel is performing the integer coversion by rounding down (INT) wheras VBA appears to be using CINT.
So here is how it work out in excel:
-6-(|-6/7|)*7
-6-(|-0.857142857|)*7
-6-(-1)*7
-6--7
-6+7=1
But in VBA you get
-6-(|-6/7|)*7
-6-(|-0.857142857|)*7
-6-(0)*7
-6-0=-6
I have the following equation programed in Excel, (see file attached). I do not understand while the match funstion is not working the lookup value is the on in cell N1 the array is from B1:F1. The return value should be 3 but I get #NA instead at the begining I was thinking that the values were different but then I compared cell =D1=N1 and the result was TRUE, meaning that they are equal
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a function that starts as follows:
Function Timings(StartTime As Double, EndTime As Double, Times As Range, Calc As Long)
StartTime will refer to a cell in Column A that holds a date and time EndTime will refer to a cell in Column B that holds a date and time Times is the range of cells that hold times of the day I am testing against. The cells are within a range defined called Hours. Calc refers to different criteria that I am testing again. This is a number list between 1 to 5.
The function works well if the cell that StartTime or EndTime refer to cell values that are date/time. If the data is anything different, I get a #VALUE error such as if the cell contents is text. I tried to trap the error to see if the data inputted in the cell is not date/time and thus cannot be converted to a Double but it always throughs up #VALUE and the function seems as though it fails when it . Is there anyway to trap the error of wrong data type in the first the first few lines of code in the function?
Example
Column A Column B Column C Formula
05/01/2013 12:00 06/01/2013 09:00 =Timings(A1,B1,Hours, 1)
25/02/2013 15:00 30/02/2013 14:30 =Timings(A2,B2,Hours, 1)
03/01/2013 16:00 abc =Timings(A3,B3,Hours, 1)
Row 2 will return #VALUE becuase 30/02/2013 14:30 is an invalid date (30th Feb does not exist so Excel seems to pickup as text)
Row 3 will return #VALUE because it is text and cannot be converted to a double data type
Using the text to columns option on a comma separated file in csv format leads to the right preview in the text to columns wizard.
The column titled "ATTIC: Zone ..." shows the desired format in the preview window. Please look at the screenshot 1.jpg.
After pushing the finish button to obtain the result the number format gets suddenly changed and differs from the preview.
Again check for the "ATTIC: Zone ..." column as reference: 2.jpg
Is there a menu where one can look up, or specify how to format data to force the right comma placement? What settings might be wrong?

I have a matrix w/ alpha characters in a 10x10 grid. I want to see how many times each letter shows up and then rank them asceding.
What is the function to do this? I looked at Frequency and Count, but do not think either will do the required work.
I'm using the following phrase out of a much longer expression to
demonstrate that the return value of the MID function seems to be nothing I
can understand.
This expression:
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1))
returns 6/10 as text which makes sense. However I was under the impression
that when text in Excel contains numeric characters, it can be interpreted
as a number. So then how does the following expression,
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1)*1
return the result 38878? Does it still think it's text?

I am trying to sum the details from sheet2 in sheet3. I am currently using a plain formula to sum-up the values. However, create a indirect and vlookup function to sum the values.
In sheet3, I have to sum the values from sheet2 based on the contacts. Sheet1, sheet2 and Sheet3 are connected and any update(insert,delete.. etc) will be made in sheet 1 only. Sheet2 automatically updates based on sheet1. Similarly, Sheet3 should also update based on sheet1 and sum the values based on contacts from sheet2.
I have added the formula which I am currently using in the sheet.
I have a macro that loops through a column of cells to retrieve a price that is buried in a string. The cells in this column are formatted one of two ways. Either they are completely empty, or the following pattern of string is entered: "$181.27 ea. for 12 on 5/21/14" (the quotes are not part of the string entered). What I need my macro to do is pull out "$181.27" and then drop the dollar sign and then do some more math before inputting a result in a different cell, but the prices range from less than a dollar to over $100,000 so I need to use split instead of left. Should be simple, yes? Here is what I have:

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing data of unknown origin in Excel I found Isblank was giving a FALSE result on some apparently blank cells while giving a TRUE result on others.
Even if I used TRIM and CLEAN functions on the offending data and pasted the resulting values back the the original locations, the Isblank result was still FALSE. Also, the font colour was not set to white or transparent.
However, if I selected the cell with the 'invisible' data, clicked in the Formula Bar and pressed Enter without entering any new data, the problem disappeared for that cell. The problem also disappeared if I selected the problem 'blank' cell and pressed delete.
Can anyone explain this 'invisible data' and tell me how I can detect it using a function or formula?

how to put together a function that will provide for me 1 of 3 results, (0, 1 or 2). Example Attached.
What I would like to do is have a function to have the results for the "Pts" (D) Column be either 0, 1 or 2 based on the following.
PM (D)<1.84 (F:10) = 2

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a Spreadsheet for GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings). I'm having a problem with the Formulas in Excel, I thought you may know what's going on and why it's not giving me the right data. I'm pretty good with Excel, I've been using it for about 17 years for calculating Tank formulas, etc, but have never run in to this before.
I have three columns to the right of the sheet. One is Stock Vehicle weight of an item____(E) The next column is the Aftermarket weight of the item______ (F) Then the third column (G) is the total weight minus the stock weight using a very simple formula =SUM(E6-F6) gives the correct weight in the third column, but at the end of each area (Topic) i have a Total Weight area in the third column (G), using the formula of =SUM(G6:G26) which should just add up everything in column G, but it doesn’t. I have re-made the spreadsheet three times,
I'm currently using this formula:
=INDEX(B4:B64,MATCH(I5,A4:A64,0))
If I5's value is displayed more than 1 time in Column A, I want the information in Column B to appear in the same cell the formula is in in Column J
How can I sort two columns of function results using the result value? Excel is trying to sort on the function in the cells rather than the results themselves.
