View 9 RepliesI'm trying to figure out a formula that would track a student's class schedule to see if there is a date/time conflict. I'm uploading an example of a ficticious student named Amanda for you to review.
According to the example, I should be prompted that there's a conflict between Amanda's first two classes because they both meet on Monday (M) and Wednesday (W) and the time during each of those classes overlaps.
This will need to be checked per student, based on their ID in column A.
I have an assignment to audit the time it takes convert a printing press from one job to the next. I've been using a watch to take the readings in hours, minutes, and seconds.
I recorded them in my spreadsheet, as h:mm:ss, but it showed a date also. I think I finally got that resolved, but now, when I try to subtract one time from another time, I get an incorrect answer. I think I need to convert all of these times into decimals, as in 13.23.44, as oppossed to 13:23:44.
One post on page 1 of my search said to multiple A1*24, but I don't fully understand. I tried that, but 11:30 became 11.50?
I need to extract the set up time, or job to job changover time in a decimal format if possible. There are other tasks being done with those numbers later in the spreadsheet that are more conducive to decimals, than the time format.......
i work dispatch at a company and we're trying to track how long it takes for a technician to arrive on-site. my worksheet currently includes the date of call-in (E1) , time of call-in (F1), Service Date (G1), Service Time (H1), among many other field. the easy solution is to use the formula (G1+H1)-(E1+F1), and use the answer as the total amount of time, but the problem is if a customer call in at 3:00 PM and we service them at 9:00 AM the following day, it looks like it took 18 hours to arrive on-site, when in reality, since we close at 5:00 PM and open at 9:00 AM, we only took 2 hours to arrive on-site. is there any formula i can write to account for non-business hours and weekends, or is this a bit above what i should expect from excel?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a project with over 600 steps which we are trying to track when each part progresses by having 52 weekly columns. Their are 8 users which we have allocated a colour so when they complete one of the steps they select which step they have completed and which colour they are. This works well but I would like to put the date that the change was made in a separate cell in that row.
My question is can this be done with a formula as I am in favour of doing this as soon as someone changes a cell in the week range. If not I will need to nut through a VBA sub routine.
I know that this formaul does not work but it is along the lines of what I am testing for: =if(sum(T55:BM55)>" ",Date(),0) where if any of the cells in the range T55 to BM55 have any value or letter in them then put todays date in cell L55 else do nothing.
How do I track my total weight loss in excel? Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
8/1/2008 228lbs
8/2/2008 225lbs
8/3/2008 223lbs
Total 5lbs
I would like use a formula that would subtract my absolute weight loss total day by day in August. Basically, I want the total "cell" to equate to my total weight loss in August. For Example after 8/3/08 the "total cell" should equate to 5 lbs. What formula do I use to do this?
Quick rundown, I have a sales background, so other parts (accounting, inventory, etc) are what I want to improve so Im not running around when an order comes in, where is it, do I have it in stock.

At my new job the CHT/CRT that we receive is three days behind what we are actually using. It makes it hard for me to keep track of my talk time, so I thought I'd use excel to track it. I can see the time I have been on each call through the day. I had to put it in 0:0:0 format to get it to average correctly. (I was trying to get it down to just seconds but that seems a bit complicated. I just then used "average=(a1:a30)" to average them together and it seemed to work a bit.

We were looking at a list of about 100 FedEx tracking numbers, each 30 characters in length, in an otherwise blank Excel spreadsheet. All tracking numbers in column A.
I used the Conditional Formatting - Highlight Duplicates feature to find any duplicate tracking numbers. It highlighted numerous. We sorted the column smallest to largest to look at two duplicates back to back, but found that there were actually no duplicates. Excel was highlighting values that had the *first 25* characters the same, but it didn't matter what the remaining characters were. For example:
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
were highlighted as duplicates of each other.
Excel only looks at the first 25 characters when analyzing duplicates (at least in this specific function). That in and of itself blows my mind. Tracking numbers seem like an abundantly common type of data, and to think that Excel would fail to analyze them in such a simple manner seems impossible to me.
It gets slightly more confusing though. If you back a character off the end of the values, it NO LONGER sees them as duplicates. So...
1234567890123456789012345XXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
are NOT highlighted as duplicates while
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
ARE highlighted as duplicates. So there's some funny business going on about values of the same character length. Maybe Excel first looks at character length before analyzing specific characters. If length doesn't match, it doesn't even bother to analyze specific character values. That seems like a very strange programming choice though.
I have a table of data (total 142 rows). Column contains dates, in the format dd-mmm-yyyy.
I tried to filter using DATE FILTERS->EQUALS and in the custom filter window, I chose EQUALS then picked a date from the date picker icon. The date I picked was 5/4/2009 (this is May 4, 2009, formatted automaticall by excel as m/d/yyyy).
When I clicked OK, nothing showed up despite the fact that there are 6 occurences of May 4, 2009 (formatted as dd-mmm-yyyy in the data table)
So my questions are:
1. Is this due to the formatting?
2. Is there a way to change the date format supplied by the date picker?

I'd like to make a vba macro in excel which will be just like "Track changes" feature. I'd like to track changed cells and when and who did it. (Date, User, Cell, Last value, New value).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to create a spreadsheet that I can export my transactions from my credit card onto -- is there a way to make it so that the transactions that haven't been covered by my most recent payment(s) are red, while the ones that are paid are green without manually going through & doing it? I know there's the IF, TRUE, FALSE formulas, but I'm confused on how to use them.
Basically, if I spend $1,000 between 5 transactions and make a $400 payment, I want the oldest transactions totalling up to $400 to turn green, while the remaining are stay red until a new payment is posted.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an actions tracker worksheet.
I want to type status update for an action - then when I press enter it should automatically as soon as I press enter:
- cut the text I typed from the cell leaving it blank
- move to the target cell (its in the same row) and "add" that text string (with a date stamp added) to the text already in the target cell.
Every day I type an update against the action in the first cell - and I press enter - it should copy that text into the target cell.
That way I have a complete history of updates against the action with date stamps.
Sounds pretty simple but I don't know where to start.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using excel as point of sale book (to record customer name, service, and total price etc.) at our hair salon. We have employees that may be there to manage alone from time to time, and enter clients into excel.
Our worry is straight forward, and involves them erasing what they wrote. I am confident that the actual service and price is entered at the beginning, but want to track their changes to their own entries.
The "track changes" would work if it "tracked changes" after entry. But it seems to track the last change from saving. For example....the employee enters $40.25 presses enter--after she knows she can get away with a change, she may erase it altogether or change it to say $16.75.
I have a workbook which has a database and a pivot table. I wish to track changes without sharing the work book.
Is that possible?
Also how can I keep track of the users accessed to the workbook ?
if data values are not input and are result of formula or macro can traverse back to see which macro is used to fill the data.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIve got an inventory of about 2000+ items as well as items that can be broken down into more specific groups such as colors, designs and sizes. What i want to know is how to get the correlation, thats excel function CORREL(), of each item for the time weve had it. The data I can provide is the monthly quanitity sold of the item.
For example I have item A.
Sold Month
5 1
7 2
4 3
5 4
and so on. Easy enough to do. My only problem is I would have to manually do that 2000+ times for my entire inventory to figure that out. What I wants is a command that can verify my item code, which is simple enough as I can convert the item code to something as simple as a string or leave it as is. Not every item has been in the system an equally long time though. If that were the case i could just copy it with blank cells to fill the space and copy and paste all the way down. So I need to find a way to get an IF statement to correlate the corresponding cells IF the item number matches the target cell. What I have right now is something to this extent.
=IF('2'!$A:$A,A1,CORREL('2'!$B:$B,'2'!$E:$E))
