I have an ongoing table that contains info in columns A-K and an undefined amount of rows. I'm trying to create a rule that will highlight columns A-K in a specific row if the value of cell D in that row is less than or equal to a specific date.
I have tried "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" with this formula: =INDIRECT("D"&ROW())<"DATE" and applied it to $A:$K
This turned my entire chart orange...
I've also tried "Format only cells that contain" with this formula: "Cell Value less than or equal to" =INDIRECT("D"&ROW())="DATE" and applied it to $A:$K
with the same effect...
Can anyone help me to get this corrected?
I just figured it out:
=$D1>TODAY() format font to orange
=$D1<=TODAY() format font to black
Thank you #Phylogenesis for your help! I really appreciate it!

When I am setting two cells to each other, if the number is too small it automatically sets the receiving cell to a percentage and not the actual number, how do I avoid this?
I found a solution to my problem, I just selected the entire range of numbers once they had been pasted and selected them before doing:
Selection.NumberFormat = "General"
I am having an issue with a cell that has a formula in it, but it's not calculating. I am using Excel 2013 and the data is as follows:
I have 12 cells(z14:ab17) the user will place a numeric value in. The formulated cell has a formula that uses the numeric cells to calculate a value, but all the cell displays is #VALUE!. The formula is
=IF((ISNUMBER(SUM(Z14:AB17))),PI()/4/32^2*(Z14^2+AA14^2+AB14^2+Z15^2+AA15^2+AB15^2+Z16^2+AA16^2+AB16^2+Z17^2+AA17^2+AB17^2),0).
In the VBA side, I have
Global Const PI = 3.1415927
All the user input cells are formatted for numeric values, and the formulated cell is also formulated to calculate and display a numeric value. Can anyone help with why the cells is not calculating? This did work at one time, but now it doesn't and I have no idea what could have happened. Thanks in advance
I have very difficult scenario where i need to mention three comments by tow V lookup. let me explain you situation.
We are getting three sheets in workbook with values every weekly.
sheet1 range A1 to A5 value , lookup values sheet2 range A:B and lookup value sheet3 range A:B. yes i can able to put two V lookup , but problem is 3 comments i need to show in single output.
When i lookup values found in sheet2 need comment as "found value in sheet2" , if not it has to lookup sheet3 range if found then it has to give comment as "found value in sheet3" and if value not found need to give comment as " invalid data".
through vba can is it possible and three comments should be sheet1 in a single output based on values?
am looked in google i can use IFSA formula and apply formula but i cant provide three comments ...
For us its really hard every weekend , Please help me with VBA Code or Any formula at one shot for three comments ?
Really appreciate your help
You can actually have up to 7 Nested (IF) functions in Excel - Nested Formula Limit
You need to make sure that you properly close each function. This can be seen when editing the formula, it will highlight the opening/closing parentheses as you arrow through the formula.
If it tries to select a range while using the arrow keys, hit F2 to toggle between Edit/Enter modes.
I think you want this...
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:B4,2,FALSE)),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B4,2,FALSE)),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet3!A1:B4,2,FALSE)),"Invalid Data", "Sheet 3"),"Sheet2"),"Sheet1")
Actually, on second thought, I assume you want whatever is in Column B
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:B4,2,FALSE),IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B4,2,FALSE),IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet3!A1:B4,2,FALSE),"Invalid Data")))
If I understand correctly, you need to determine if the first VLOOKUP is found, and if not, use the second VLOOKUP. Thats super simple. Assuming the formula Profex provided doesn't work:
=IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP("A1", Sheet2!A1:B4, 2, False), "Err")="Err",IFERROR(VLOOKUP("A1", Sheet3!A1:B4, 2, False), "Not Found"), VLOOKUP("A1", Sheet2!A1:B4, 2, False))
How can I change the #N/A to the blank cell if nothing in that cell?
Eg. =VLOOKUP(B19:B36;$TABLE.A1:C46;2;0)
I think I might need something like an ISERROR check but I don't 100% know what I'm doing.
If we're talking about Excel 2010 and later you can use IFERROR:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B19:B36;$TABLE.A1:C46;2;0);"")
You can also put text into the final string result
The question was misleading about the spreadsheet software as 2 different spreadsheets were originally stated in tags. However, it can be seen that the question is about OpenOffice Calc:
- Absolute sheet referencing ($ sign before the sheet name) is not possible in Excel.
- We also see a dot between the sheet name and the range, which is again not possible in Excel.
As in OpenOffice Calc you don't have IFERROR function, the only way is to repeat your main function twice in the following form (you can use both, ISNA and ISERROR, but I suggest ISNA as it's more specific and fits your case):
=IF(ISNA(YourFormula);"";YourFormula)
In your case something like:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B19;$TABLE.A1:C46;2;0));"";VLOOKUP(B19;$TABLE.A1:C46;2;0))
You may want to make absolute reference to the range where you look for matching values, as I see you want to copy the formula down.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B19;$TABLE.$A$1:$C$46;2;0));"";VLOOKUP(B19;$TABLE.$A$1:$C$46;2;0))
Since the cells will contain a formula this is about appearances, so Conditional formatting might suit, say if the cell background is white, for style choose Font > Font Effects > Font color white.
For this, select the relevant range - I have assumed D19:D36 - and Format > Conditional Formatting... and for Condition 1 choose Cell value is and equal to and:
ISNA(D19)
I am trying to link cells in excel on two different work sheets.
I am using the formula eg: cell1 = cell2 + cell3. The numbers that I have in cell2 and cell3 are in format of 100% (1) and 50% (2). I just want to add numbers 1 and 2 so that my cell1 will have number 3.
Is it possible to do without changing the cell formats?
Thanks a lot.
If you don't care about the percentages, just copy your column with the percentages and change the format of that column to value and in sheet 2, do addition on that column instead.
Unfortunately when a cell has a format of percentage and a user enters a number, it is converted into what it means given the context of the format. It's not like what is being displayed is wildly different than what is 'hidden' inside the cell. When you reformat a cell, that data is reformatted as well, so 50% becomes .5 even if you had originally entered 50 in the cell before changing it's format. Format is more than just 'display format' so maybe that's where the confusion is.
If you want to add the cells in the percentage row and not bother with reformatting the formula cell you can cheat and treat it as a string to get rid of that %. You could do =Left(A2+A3, Len(A2+A3)) that will give you the 1.5 answer without having to format te cell.
Not sure i understood your question but i'll give some elements:
formula and formats are separated in Excel, thus, you can set a formula in A1, say =A2+A3 but displays the value the way you wish
for instance, if A2 contains 100% and A3 contains 50%, then the result in A1 is worth 1.5
you can set the format of A1 the way you wish (Right-clic > Format cells > Number tab), for instance, decimal, the cell will then display 1.5 but if you choose percentage, the cell will then display 150%
Please elaborate your question if needed.
[EDIT] New answer thanks to your comment:
If i understand well, you want to sum up the values between brackets in your cell (whatever is before, event percentages in your case).
Then, you can try this in cell A3:
=MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,FIND(")",A1)-FIND("(",A1)-1 )+MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1 )
