I am having trouble changing the title of some columns in a pivot table. I'm trying to make them have dates in them. Each date 6 days further from the last.
Like this
But, I cannot get an equation inside the column title to stay, every time I type in the equation and press enter, it evaluates to either 0 (If the format of the cell is number or general), or 1/0/1990 (If formatted as a date). I checked the value of the cell by =ISTEXT(A1) and it evaluates as true. No matter how I format the cell. So I can never change the title to look like the picture. Any ides?
Here is what I have.
TRUE is the result from ISTEXT()
Even if I manually enter in the formula via the function arguments, it'll show up correct, but when I click ok. It will go back to either 0 or 1/0/1990
Here's the original page

In Excel, dynamic values (formulas) in the header of a table-formatted table are not allowed.
Instead, you can first generate your table header and then format the table as (pivot-)table. You should get a message saying that the header row will be converted in static text (with correct format).

Anyone,
I've chatted with and called excel customer service with no luck. I used the formula builder (please see attached screenshot) to make sure each element of the formula is correct and returns the value for the criteria I'm trying to reference.
Everything is accurate, but it returns a value of 0. When I do the same thing in the actual sheet the data is stored in (and click a criteria cell within the criteria range) it returns the accurate value?! I'm not sure why it won't work on the other sheet. The values I am using to select are dynamic and change with a drop down. I have another, advanced, workbook (I did not create) that does the same thing and completes an even more complicated formula, but actually works so I'm not sure why this is returning a 0 value.
Photos and code/syntax: Dynamic Selection, Example 2 of it working, Example 1 of it working, Formula Builder, CountIFs, Advanced Spreadsheet working, VLOOKUP
=SUMIFS('GFEBS Pull'!Q:Q,'GFEBS Pull'!G:G,FMCOP!$C$20,'GFEBS Pull'!H:H,FMCOP!B23)
or:
=SUMIFS('GFEBS Pull'!Q:Q,'GFEBS Pull'!G:G,'FMCOP'!$C$20,'GFEBS Pull'!H:H,'FMCOP'!B23)
When I type ' around FMCOP sheet name, they disappear? I've also tried to lock the columns on the 'GFEBS Pull' sheet with no luck. Cell B23 is not locked because I'm going to copy the formula down to reference other cells. Any help is appreciated!
In this screenshot you can clearly see that both FMCOP!C20 ansd FMCOP!B23 have prefacing spaces; e.g. " HHC".
Since " HHC" will never match "HHC", fix the data returned from 'the lower table in the same screenshot'.
A Text-to-Columns, Fixed Width, Finish should do this. You could adjust the original formula like,
=SUMIFS('GFEBS Pull'!Q:Q, 'GFEBS Pull'!G:G, TRIM(FMCOP!$C$20), 'GFEBS Pull'!H:H, TRIM(FMCOP!B23))
I would caution against the latter 'bandaid' fix. Fix the original data; do not apply bandaids on-the-fly.
I'm trying to use IF to return a value that depends on the position of one cell relative to another in the same column.
Spreadsheet Example
If you click the above image, you'll see a number of columns with the possible values of "No," "Yes," "Yes>No," and "No>Yes."
The equation will go in the "Category of Change," row, one equation for each column. If the "Yes>No," is lower in the column than the "No>Yes," I want to return "Less Frequently," and if the opposite is true, I want to return "More Frequently" ("Same," if there is no "Yes>No," or "No>Yes").
I've tried using ARRAY and INDEX functions, but I'm not sure how to get Excel to "look" for each of those values, and then compare their ranking in the column.
Thank you in advance for your help!
MATCH will return the relative row number. This assumes the first column of data is in E2:E8.
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH("Yes>No",E2:E8,0)>MATCH("No>Yes",E2:E8,0),"Less Frequently","More Frequently"),"Same")
It is looking for exact matches, so if you have typos, it will always default to Same. If only one is found then it will still produce Same
You would put int he first cell and copy/drag over, the references will change automatically.
I have a cell in excel which contains a value, lets say 100000.
Now i want this value to have commas in between them to represent the thousands and millions i.e. 100,000. I can do this by changing the number format in the home menu.
Now i want this value to be copied from that cell and paste it as a label for a shape. When i am doing this the commas go away showing me just the numbers.
I want it to happen through VBA but this is not happening in excel itself.
Does anyone have a plausible solution for this?
In range object use Text property, like this:
Sheet1.Shapes(1).TextFrame.Characters.Text = Range("A1").Text
This is my first time using this forum, and my VBA skill is not very well developed. I hope someone can help.
I have two columns of data, Column A and Column B.
Column A - Returns a sequential "month-year" or 0. If spreadsheet current date (=now()) is less than say Feb, then the cell for February returns 0.
Column B - I want this column to check each cell in Column A. If Column A cell has a date identifier, I want this to be placed in Column B. If Column A has a 0 identifier, I want Column B to return an "empty" cell.
Reason why I am doing this is I am graphing a bar chart. When I trick the program into making an empty cell (x-axis) the graph does not show any data for that month (which is what I want). Trying to make a dynamic graph, but I have no experience in VBA (only C programming =/).
You don't need VBA (or even formulas) to do this.
Highlight Column A (the entire column), copy it.
Highlight Column B (the entire column, right click, Paste Special, select values and number formats, okay.
Highlight Column B again. Press Ctrl+H, Type 0 (or failing that it might be 00/01/1900) in the 'find what', leave the 'replace with' one blank. Tick Match entire cell contents. Click replace all.
Done.
Instead of trying for an empty space (which would be impossible, as there's a formula in that cell), use an error condition.
Use this formula, and copy down:
=IF(A1=0,NA(),A1)
This will return the error condition #NA! and Excel will leave the column blank
The other way would be to have a dynamic range for the chart data - I have a chart that will adjust to 5,6 or 7 days, depending on the data returned for the week. The Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels is set to a named range (='Sample.xlsx'!LastWeekRange) and the range checks the data, and returns the appropriate number of cells.
LastWeekRange is defined in Name Manager as =OFFSET(Data!$A$3,0,0,IF(Data!$F$9>0,7,IF(Data!$F$8>0,6,5))), which returns A3:A7 if there's nothing in F8, A3:A8 if there is something in F8 but not in F9, and A3:A9 if there is something in F9.
I have problem in generate report. I use crystal report 8.5 with vb.net 2008,what I want is when I generate report it will appear red value, if the value is more or less than actual value else it will give default value but when I put this code it give me wrong result
If {Intake.wheatType} = {Spec.WheatType} AND
{Intake.HB43} >={Spec.M_Min} AND{Intake.HB43} >={Spec.M_Max} Then
Red
Else
DefaultAttribute
this report is related with two tables, which is table Spec and table Intake. Could anyone help/teach me how to fix this problem
When determining whether a value is between a minimum and maximum, the logic will be:
Is the value greater than the minimum and is the value less than the maximum?
Actually you can create a Formula Field for that,
From Field Explorer, right click Formula Field
A popup window will appear, type the name of the formula you want.
in the Formula Editor insert you custome formula
Code:
If {Intake.wheatType} = {Spec.WheatType} AND {Intake.HB43} >={Spec.M_Min} AND {Intake.HB43} >={Spec.M_Max} Then
Red
Else
DefaultAttribute
Then click OK. Drag the newly created field on your report. And that's it.
