In my code, I'm calculating a very simple ratio and have the result displayed in a message box. However, I want to have this value only show 1 or 2 significant figures (e.g. if I take 9 / 7, I want to show 1.3 and not 1.28571).
View 2 RepliesI have a large number that has 6 figures.I want to display this number to 3 significant figures on the spreadsheet, but I have more formulas that need to use the unrounded number.So is there a way to DISPLAY the number to 3 sig figs whilst keeping it as the complicated number for the rest of the formulas?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to find a way to take the result of a formula, calculate how many decimal places based on significant figures, then rewrite the formula with the Round function.
=(5-2)/2
result is 1.5 taken to 3 significant figures is 1.50
=Round((5-2)/2),2)
I need to keep the formula in the cell for validation purposes and I need the result truncated to significant figures for accuracy. I am currently using the significant figure formula found on the forum for my data with numbers.
How to round to significant figures using excel, its for a question in one of my college assignments and i cant seem to find any information.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to specify a number of significant figures (e.g., 3), so that Excel displays only 3 significant figures but RETAINS the full number? For example, take the number 16355.876: is it possible to have Excel display the number as 16400, yet retain the original number 16355.876? I know this is possible when the numbers are less than 1, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with big numbers.

Does Excel have a function that will return the first x significant numbers? No rounding; just the first three numbers.
What I’m trying to do is based on a character level in cell “G1” I’m looking for “Z1” to show the experience need for the next level. For example:
Level=Experience
1=0
2=1000
3=3000
4=6000
5=10000
6=15000
7=21000
8=28000
9=36000
10=45000
11=etc…
Experience is calculated by 1000 x Previous Level + Previous Experience.
In this above, to reach fifth level experience is calculated as (4*1000+6000).
I know this can be done with a formula, but can a macro or VBA compute this also? For example:
If G1 indicates that a character is at level 5, I want Z1 to show the experience need for level 6. This means I need code to calculate experience from level 1 to level 6 like this:
IF(LEVEL>1,((1*1000+0)+(2*1000+CURRENT EXPERIENCE)+(3*1000+ CURRENT EXPERIENCE)+(4*1000+CURRENT EXPERIENCE)+(5*1000+CURRENT EXPERIENCE)),0) RESULT=15000 for LEVEL=6
That’s the formula equivalent of what I’m looking for code to do. Can this be done?
Does anybody know of a special format or a rounding function that displays or rounds a number off to a specific number of significant digits.
Lets say I would like 3 significant digits this would be the results:
0.40019 -> 0.400
6.543 -> 6.54
12.543 -> 12.5
32 -> 32.0
564.7894 -> 565
54387 -> 54400 (or 5.44E+4 to be correct, but i can live with 54400)
how to set an Excel formula to calculate rounding based on the criteria listed below?
When rounding, digits to the right of the significant less than five (5) will be truncated. Digits to the right of the significant digit greater than five (5) will cause the significant digit to round up by one (1). If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five(5) and the significant digit is even, the digits are truncated. If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five (5) and the significant digit is odd, the significant digit is rounded up by one (1).
Ex:
0.230,0.231,0.232,0.233,0.234 all round to 0.23
0.235,0.236,0.237,0.238,0.239 all round to 0.24
0.240,0.241,0.242,0.243,0.244 and 0.245 all round to 0.24
0.246,0.247,0.248,0.249 all round to 0.25
This issue is due to the limitations of the nested if formula. I have range of cells that contains percentile rankings 1-100. I am trying to figure out how to convert the cells that contain values 1-10 to a 1, cell values 11-20 to a 2 and so on.

I have months ( 1 to 12 ). Every month, a set of tasks need to be executed which takes "x" number of hours.
So if I have 1 machine working 3 hour in the month 1, the total time spent is 3 hours. Fairly simple right !
Say on month 2, a set of tasks take 4 hours. total time that my first machine takes is 4 hours. But i want to introduce 3 new machines in this month, which will execute the first month's tasks. So total time spent here is ( 3*3 + 4*1) = 13 On month 3, task time is 6 hours. And I am introducing 2 new machines.
So total time is 2*3 ( time taken for 2 new machines to perform first month's tasks ) + 3 * 4 ( 3 new machines introduced last month will now execute second months task) + 6 * 1 ( time the first machine will spend on month 3 s tasks ) = 24

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a large spreadsheet with about 250 worksheets, each of which contains among other things a row of values that require further calculation (the values are being entered manually). The format of these rows is simple:

In my limited understanding of Excel I consider such operation to be similar to a sum function which involves multiple cells in multiple sheets. Despite my best efforts I’ve yet to find a solution to what may be a very simple problem.
I have a spread sheet which is organised in date order column A and produces three signals Buy, Sell, No trade in column S. If i get a signal to buy or sell the price is taken in column T so i might have Buy - 1.9977. I wish to calculate the diff between the value taken to buy in this eg and deduct this value from the opp signal at some point ie a sell signal. Other buy signals and notrade signals should be ignored. The opposite is true for a sell signal
Eg
A,s,t,u
13/4/07, buy,19955,35
12/4/07,no signal
11/4/07,no signal
10/4/07,no signal
9/4/07, no signal
8/4/07, no signal
7/4/07, sell, 19990,13
6/4/07,no signal
5/4/07,no signal
4/4/07,buy,19977
if a buy signal is generated then in this eg 19990-19977 gives the diff if selling then 19990-19955 gives the diff .

I'm trying to calculate total occurrences of a given month. I have included the spreadsheet for reference with totals.
I only want to calculate when the Policy column has a "N". If it has a "Y" I do not need to do anything
If the Policy has a "N" I want the formula to look at the V and P columns and give me a total in the Total Occurrence column. I want it to look at the entire month for a grand total.
If the V or P column has a 4 or less it should equal 0.5, if it has a value is between 4 and 10 it would equal 1. So in the Total Occurrence column should calculate the all of the 0.5 and 1's based on each set of columns and give a total. In the example that I have given in the spreadsheet the total in the Total Occurrence column would be 2 because Jan. 1 has a N and a 8 which equals 1 and Jan. 3 has a N and a 4 which equals 0.5 and Jan. 5 has a N and a 4 which equals 0.5 for a total of 2 occurrences.

Here's the formula I used: =IF('End of Month'!L3>=0,('End of Month'!L3-'End of Month'!N3),IF('End of Month'!L3>0,('End of Month'!L3-'End of Month'!M3),(0)))
Should return value 339.
The formula should simply take the current month value and subtract it from the previous month value BUT if the value is zero, then it should go to the prior month and so on until it retrieves a positive value.
I've also tried to following formula without any success:
=IF('End of Month'!H3=0,('End of Month'!H3-'End of Month'!J3),
IF('End of Month'!H3=0,('End of Month'!H3-'End of Month'!K3),

This pivot table is used to track referrals for an employment service, and needs to show monthly totals of referrals, enrolments, cancellations and placements.
I have the referral date as one of the row lables, but it seems that each of the others now only reflectes back to that date rather than the date entered in that value

5 clients referred in September, One was placed in October, 2 in December and 1 in Jan but the totals for placed are all showing in September rather than the month the clinet was placed.
What I have is a spreadsheet with a whole bunch of sporting data on it. see attachment for an idea of the layout, Stats.jpg
In these data each round a player is given a rating. What I want to do is calculate is the average rating for each player across the last 3 and 5 games they have played. When a player misses a game they get a rating of 0 for the round. I want 0 ratings to be ignored in the running averages. Additionally, games yet to be played have a 0 in the cell and should be ignored. To get overall averages ignoring 0's was simple I used the averageif function, but I couldn't figure out how to use that but only extract the last 3 non 0 values. I currently have data up to round 12, so if a player has played in 12, 11 and 10 then the 3 round average should just be the average of these 3, but if they missed for example round 11 then the 3 round average should return the average of 9, 10 and 12.
The data is set out in the following way.
In column B I have a list of player names from cells B3:B618.
Across row 1 from N1:AM1 are labels "round 1" "round 2" etc.
The ratings for each player in each round are in N-AM and from 3-618. i.e. N3:AM3 contains the weekly rating for player 1, 4 contains player 2 etc.
I would like the 3 round averages to be returned for each player in column L and 5 round averages in column M.
I am currently using a pivot to return and populate the required data but this does not refresh correctly and returns zero values every time this report is refreshed. I am therefore hoping that there is a way to calculate this using formulas .

I have added a highlighted (in YELLOW) row at the bottom of this table which shows you which columns populate what column
Requirement:
I am after something that will populate this table in a descending order - IE: the figures in the DATA tab Column BE should be sorted from highest to lowest. It must be filtered to the top 30 results only and then all the other columns must be populated.
Column H in the REPORT tab should be formatted to [h]:mm
Column F & G in the REPORT tab should be formatted to dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm
