SUM MAXIMUM Or Index/Max: Count Number Based On The Maximum Time??

Oct 23, 2008

I was hoping that my formula would give me the count number based on the Maximum time (latest time) and the Name field...My result is a 0 instead of 62 (the correct answer).

=SUM((Download!$H$2:$H$10=A4)*(Download!$D$2:$D$10=MAX(IF(Download!$H$2:$H$10=$A4,Download!$D$2:$D$1 0)))*Download!$I$2:$I$10)

Would a Index/Match/MAX function be more efficient?

Find MAXIMUM, Show Date When MAXIMUM Occurred

Oct 9, 2008

Look in Column E and find the MAX value. Once you find the MAX value, (let's say E27) display the date that's in C27. I bet this is really easy but I've been screwing around with it for over a half hour and can't get the correct result.

Conditional Maximum (find The Maximum 'value' For Each Individual 'type')

May 15, 2009

I have two columns of data. The first column is the 'type' and the second column is the 'value'. I need to find the maximum 'value' for each individual 'type'

The 'types' are not necessarily next to each other and the data cannot be sorted to do so.

Example:
type value
A 15
B 6
A 21
C 7
B 13

I need to be able to say the MAX for 'A' is 21, the MAX for 'B' is 13 and the MAX for 'C' is 7.

Column Letters- VBA Command To Get The Letters

Nov 17, 2009

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?

I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.

I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"

of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter

NT values do not get a number

A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####

i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

Maximum Cell Value

Feb 4, 2009

In a cell, I would like to limit the maximum upper limit. For instance, in a cell with (=H23*0.06), that value ranges from perhaps 1.48 up to 5.93; however, I would like for the upper limit to stop at 3.33. Would that be conditional formatting? How can I stop the upper limit at 3.33?

Return Letters In A Row In One Cell

Apr 7, 2014

I have a sheet which basically does this:

If A9 is blank, return 'A9', if not, return 'blank'. (to identify which cells are populated on another sheet)

It does this from A9 to X9.

Then in A10, if A9 says 'A9', just return 'A'.

So the end result has the entire A10 Row with all the letters that aren't blank. In my sheet, I have the following:

A10 = A
K10 = K
N10 = N
P10 = P
Q10 = Q

What I want is to have cell A11 to return (for example) = A, K, N, P, Q - as they are the only values found.

Is that possible without using a macro?

Allow Only Letters In Cell (no Numbers)?

Oct 7, 2010

How do I do data validation/cell formatting so that only alphabetic characters can be entered and no numbers?

(We use the cell for First Name, Last Name, etc. and I don't want potential entries like Mr. 56565 55454 because the cells are formatted as text and allow alphabet and numbers.)

I tried =NOT(ISNUMBER(H6)) for Data Validation, but that didn't work.

Select First 7 Letters From A Cell

Mar 29, 2007

I have some code that loops through a sheet exporting each row to it's own file. The code below is the part that writes the file. The variable "i" is used to count which row the loop is on. I had planned to use the text in the first cell to identify the files, but the problem is that it contains some characters that cannot be used in Windows file names. So what I had hoped to accomplish was to just use the first 7 letters from each cell in column "a" in the filename. how to modify this to only take the first 7 letters from the cell instead of the entire cell contents? Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(DestFile & Cells(i, 1).Text, True)

I need to just highlight the maximum value in a column. This will be for several excel sheets within powerpoint, and preferably automatically updated?

Something along the lines of:

If
Ax = Max(A1:A3)
Then Ax = red
Else = white

Return Maximum Of Active Cell & Arbitrary Value To Cell

Nov 18, 2007

I am looking for VBA that will add the value of the current active cell on the sheet to the value in cell F12. The maximum value of F12 cannot exceed 1000. So if the value in F12 = 950 and 100 is the value in the active cell the maximum value in F12 should show 1000, not 1050.

It should do this on the click of a button.

Maximum Characters Per Cell

Dec 26, 2006

I have a worksheet that multiple users will be entering in data, this information is then being used to pull into a form located on a sepearte worksheet within the workbook. One of the cells in the input sheet has the potential to have more characters than excel will allow. It is my understanding the maximum number of characters per cell is 1,024.

What is the best way to setup my spreadsheet in the event the data contains more than 1,024 characters. The informatino going into the cell are legal descriptions of property so I want to be able to keep the description together in the final document in the other worksheet. Is there a way the user can input the entire decription in one cell, regardless of the character size, then have a formula to take the first 1,024 characters and put them in one cell, followed by another formula to put the next 1,024 characters in the next cell?

Then in my main document I would use the concatenate formual to combine these two cells into one.

Cell Of Maximum Value In Another Column

Apr 26, 2007

I have a problem looking up the cell at which a maximum value in a curve is located. I have attached a workbook with an example of my problem (this is scaled down to limit the size of the attachment – my usual string of data is 5000 rows long). Column A is the time and all subsequent columns will contain force values (as shown in columns A and B) which create a similar sharp curve.

Ideally I need to be able to lookup the time point (column A) at which the maximum force value occurs for each curve or if this is not possible the row number in which the maximum force value occurs. I would like to be able to do this using a formula rather than a macro if that is possible?

I have tried using a number of excels lookup functions and read through the examples on the site but have had no success.

How To Restrict The Cell Data To Letters 'a' Through 'e' AND 'A' Through 'E'

Jan 28, 2009

I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E.

What I am looking for

1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that.

2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column.

3) Nice-to-have.

If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.

Random Letters And Numbers In One Cell?

Aug 29, 2012

I have what seems to be a pretty complicated situation involving random numbers and letters. I need to generate random sets of this combination of 2 letters follows by 6 numbers (ex. AB123456). I need the final product to be randomly generated and non-repeated.

I have played with various methods of producing random numbers and random letters both repeated and non-repeated. The closest I can get would be a cell of randomly generated letters adjacent to a cell of randomly generated numbers which so far has been useless.

VBA or excel functions are both okay.

Count Number Of Certain Letters In Given Cell

Mar 1, 2013

I am trying to count the number of certain letters in a given cell. I figured out the formula when there is not a repeat of a targeted letter. For example, if multiple C's appear in cell A1 I will only get a value of 1 and not the exact number.

Here is my formula.

=COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*C*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*P*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*E*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*L*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*O*")

Validate Cell Not Empty Or Certain Letters

Aug 14, 2006

I have a sheet which in a certain cell (H4) must contain either an "I", "J", "R" or "S" in upper case.

The user fills in the sheet, and then a macro runs that does lots of things. I have been asked to put a bit of code at the start of the macros to validate the contents of cell H4.

However it doesnt seem to work, particularly the isempty statement

Sub SiteVal()
'
' SiteVal Macro
'
If ("H4") = "S" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "I" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "R" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "J" Then
Else

If IsEmpty("H4") = True Then
MsgBox "Site code must be input"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
'
End Sub
