Why Formula Returns Result For One Line And Not The Other?
Jul 27, 2014
I have a two different formulas the return a numbered result(PO Number) in the same column. I then vlookup both of them with the same formula into a pivot table, one returns the result one doesn't. format appears to be the same.
I have created a table in excel, and it has a very simple sum totals. When i include all cells in the table the total becomes 0. When I exclude a cell in the table, the total shows. I have deleted the row and re inserted another one and copied the cell content from above that was not having a problem,
I have a simple formula subtracting one cell from another using =SUM(XX,-XX). When I click on fx and bring up the function arguments box, the formula result is displayed correctly in that box. However, the cell containing the formula will only display a zero. I have tried reformatting the cells to no avail. I have also tried getting a result using =XX-XX and that does not work either.
I need a formula to count cells based on the date, so that I can have a blank cell when the answer is 0. I am adding values cumulative and future cells need to be blank because I have a graph that has a trend line and I don't want the trend line to fall off at the end. I also don't want to have to go back to this every month and update it.
I have 2 tables, 1 beneath the other - table 1 columns represent date ranges and their values. Columns and their data are alternating color coding. Table 2 references, by means of array formula, this data - IS it possible to include the font color as a result?
I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.
I need the Service Order tab to populate with data from the CPR tab based on the IO#. Since there is more than 1 occurrence of an IO# I need a formula to list the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc result of the vlookup in the cell under the 1st.
=VLOOKUP($E$2,CPR!$L$4:$AA$12,2,FALSE),
When I drag this down I get the 1st occurrence of the IO# 777 I need all of them.
B C D Atex ID#(unique id) Campaign name Site Row 7 1st occurrence of IO# 777 Row 8 2nd occurrence of IO# 777 Row 9 3rd occurrence of IO# 777
I have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")
This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'. e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?
Code: =VLOOKUP((LEFT(C4,6)),'Data from 7500'!$B$16:$G$195,6,TRUE)
And it works great, except that the data returned is off by one row. For example, the correct value for the sample name in B107 is located in G107, but the formula returns the value in cell G106. I've tried changing the TRUE to FALSE and that returns #N/A.
In the attached file I used =MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B$2:$B$10="",0)) to retrieve the location of the first empty cell.
When using the "Evaluate Formula" tool, it is clear that the position in the array created by the INDEX function is the 6th. Nevertheless, the final outcome is 9, being the last cell in range.
I have a worksheet called "Raw Data" where in columns J, I and G contain values. I would like to write a formula whereby if all 3 conditions are met, it will count the number of values found in column C.
I've tried to write an IF statement but it just returns FALSE, despite the result being true. Need the right combination of IF/AND statements that would do this?
=IF(AND('Raw Data'!$J:$J="Maintenance",'Raw Data'!$I:$I="Open",'Raw Data'!$G:$G="1-2008"),COUNT('Raw Data'!$C:$C)). I've tried to attach the workbook, but there's a problem with uploading attachments I think. Sorry if my explanation is unclear.
I have a three or four letter abbreviation of a last name in A1. Column C contains a list of Last Names; column D contains a list of corresponding First Names; and column E contains a formula concantenating the First Names and Last Names from columns C & D.
I have the following formula in B1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,C1:E44,3,1)
I am attempting to match up the three or four letter abbreviation with the concatenated list to return the full name (First and Last) in cell B1, however, I'm not getting the desire result. I keep getting the name in the row just above the name I want.
I have discovered a strange thing about excel and it is driving me mad and ruining my project.
Basically, If i enter the number 97.4 into cell A1 and then 97.165 into cell B1 and then enter the formula =A1-B1 into cell C1 i get the answer 0.235. Which is correct.
However, when you increase the number of decimal places to 30 the answer that is returned is 0.234999999999999000000000000000.
This calculation result seem to fluctuate wildly depending on the primary numbers in cells a1 and b1. Very rarely have i seen the full 30 decimal places without a bizarre result like this.
Maybe it has been too many years since i was at school and that i am confused with my numbers and that there is a real easy answer to why this result is returned.
As i said it is ruining my project that i am working on. Can anyone help? Why does excel do this? Is there a way to stop this happening? My project relies on this answer to be correct. Is there a way to force excel to stop doing this?
I'm compiling a list of names on a separate tab from a column that only lists the names sporadically. Problem: In the formula, the IF provides a TRUE, the row function, and consequently, the INDEX function (when I hit F9) provides the correct "name" and row number, but when I hit return, it provides the text 4 cells beneath what it should.
I am looking up a risk matrix to return the risk rating... it is very simple, it works on one sheet, but on a different sheet (looking up different data, but same basic format) it returns exactly the opposite rating.
My formula is: =INDEX($G$6:$K$10,MATCH(I19,$G$5:$K$5,0),MATCH(J19,$F$6:$F$10,0))
Here is F4 to K10
I have data validation on I19 and J19 based on the cells below
Consequence
Priority Very Low Low Medium High Very High
[Code] ..........
BUT... when I put Very Low and Very Low in the two cells (I19 and K19) I get Very High as the return.
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.
I have a worksheet that I need to be able to easily copy and paste the formula/formatting from the row above, but not the Values entered, (if any). I am using columns A to DG.
I just really need to be able to copy all the formula in these cells down - nothing exciting or fancy.
I've tried formatting as a table as per some searches and that was difficult! My column headings changed, and when I inserted a row, two of the formula's wouldn't copy down - plus the shading and borders went wonky in places.
I created a simple auto numbering function whereby Cell A7 contained =Row()-6, and Cell A8 contained =(A7+1). I then shift, and pasted the contents of cell A8 until cell A600. My aim is to simply copy the increments of 1 - 600 into another column. However when i copy and paste i'm also copying the initial underlying formula ie: =( A?+1), Is there a way to copy the results, not the formula?
when i use a simple sum it only returns 0 but if I use the same cells and manually add them ie A1+A2+A3 and so on it give me the answer ? As there are over 500 cells it would be a pain to type them.
I have a workbook that is taking the avarage percentage of efficency over a possible of 7 days. If there were only 5 days of production it would average only 5 days. It pulls info from a tab that is call "Datalink" which is just that. As we have started our new fiscal year the person who uses this came to me with this problem
1) GrpIV on C15 is returning # DIV/0! and we need it to return 0. See the attachment.
I have always used unique ways to randomly make selections in my life, and was thrilled to learn that Excel could pick a name(not just a number) from a list. I've used the =INDEX($A:$A,RANDBETWEEN(1, COUNTA($A:$A)),1) function and entered items into Column A (or another if needed, and updated by trial and error accordingly). It worked very well for me for a long time and then stopped working. In multiple documents, with multiple lists (not connecting to each other), all of a sudden every random item started giving the #NAME error.
I need a formula that can return the value from a cell in the same row it searches. The row is unsorted and has blank cells. Seacchs row A12:X12 returns the text in C4 (data validation List) in A19 on a different sheet.
The results of the formula in cell K36 in the attached spreadsheet returns a value of null. It should be $1,200. Am I blind or have I done something wrong.
There are about 15 cells with formulas similar to this. They are calculating a value for a row and at the end all of them should add up should equal C101.
The problem is the value that formula returns has to be two digits and I know it almost never is. But it ALWAYS equils C101. However because it only shows two digits somtimes if you manulally add up the value that you see it does not its off by +/-.01.
I need to fix it so that it does equal C101 AND if you were to add up the digits (with 2 decimal places) it will also equil C101.
I placed this formula in cell A1 in workbook number 2which is suppose to grab what ever name is in cell A4 of workbook 1 However if the cell is blank it is returning a "0"I want it to be blank if there is no name in the cell?
For some reason it is returning #VALUE! in some cells. I think its something to do with the last part of the formula where it is bold.
The formula as you can see looks at data and matches relevant data to return specific depending on what has been matched. Now at the end it is matching the correct data and return that value however i want to divide the value by another (another value*4.33).
