When the range of cells contain blank cell, the sum function always give a 0,
column
2
3
blank
blank
4
=sum(A2:A6)
I expected the SUM give 9, but it is zero. The formula =SUMIF(A2:A6,"<>") not work, may be it work for excel, but not in Numbers
Turn Blank into "0" instead of leaving it blank.
Use IsNull(Column, 0)

I have a row of 4 cells that contain either 3 0's and a number, or two numbers and 2 0's. I need excel to check the cells from left to right and if a cell contains a 0 move on to the next cell until it finds a number and then return that number in cell 5. Any help would be grately appreciated!!
My test Data
enter image description here
Enter this formula in Column E,
=IF(A1=0,IF(B1=0,IF(C1=0,IF(D1=0,"All are Zeroes",D1),C1),B1),A1)
Use this formula:
=INDEX($A1:$D1,AGGREGATE(15,6,COLUMN($A1:$D1)/($A1:$D1<>0),1))
Have a question about formula which will resolve my issue.
In my main workbook I need to compare data from two sources.
One of the columns must retrieve data(amounts) from other workbook.
I want formula which will search for all amounts in column G and will skip all blank cells. Tried to use VLOOKUP, INDEX and SMALL functions but no effect.
Each day amounts are different and I need to match them in main file and find exeptions.
Any ideas?
How about an array formula such as the following?
=INDEX($G$2:$G$20,SMALL(IF(($G$2:$G$20)=0,"",ROW($G$2:$G$20)),ROW()-1)-ROW($G$2:$G$20)+1)
The formula would have to be placed into cell I2 as an array formula (which must be entered pressing Strg + Shift + Enter). Then you can drag down the formula to get all the other values.
It doesn't have to be in column I but it has to be in row 2 because this formula get's the n-th Number from the list which is not = 0. The n-th place is (in this formula) row()-1. So for row 2 it will be 2-1=1 and thus the 1st number. By dragging down the formula you get the 2nd, 3rd, etc. number. If you start with the formula in cell I5 instead then it would have to be adjusted to be as follows:
=INDEX($G$2:$G$20,SMALL(IF(($G$2:$G$20)=0,"",ROW($G$2:$G$20)),ROW()-4)-ROW($G$2:$G$20)+1)
You could loop through the column and store each value >0 in an array and then compare or you loop through the column and compare directly...
something like:
Dim i as Integer = 0
Foreach value in Maintable
Do
If otherworkbook.cells(i,7) = value Then '7 for G
do your stuff
End If
i = i + 1
While i < otherworkbook.rows.count
Next
I think that could be the right approach
I have a sheet with 200 columns. All cells would be having only 3 possible characters. I want to find out the columns which don't have all 3 characters (in any sequence, in any repetition). Lets say, if any of the character is missed in Column, formula should mark that in the cell below.
Sorry, I am not an excel guy and this is needed to put a check in some 200 such long workbooks.
Any help would be appreciated.
What I would do is use a separate sheet, in which you shadow all the cells. For each cell you check if the corresponding cell on the other sheet is valid. If it is you show 0, if it isn't, you show 1. Now sum all the columns and if the sum is higher than 0 then the column is invalid.
Is the formatting of your spreadsheet maybe something you can use to identify the items which are not compliant since colour is much easier way to get a grand overview of problems in a lot of data.
If you can, how about stepping through each cell in that range and using 3 Instr function to find the cells with all 3 values you want.
I will assume you are looking for A, B and C as your 3 values for the purpose of the below code.
MyCell=cells(MyRow,MyColumn)
MatchCharA="A"
MatchCharB="B"
MatchCharC="C"
CheckA=instr(1,MyCell,MatchCharA)
CheckB=instr(1,MyCell,MatchCharB)
CheckC=instr(1,MyCell,MatchCharC)
If CheckA>0 then CharExist=1 else CharExist=0
If CheckB>0 then CharExist=CharExist+1
If CheckC>0 then CharExist=CharExist+1
Now you can use the variable CharExist which will return either:-
0 if there is no match in the cell
1 if 1 char exist in the cell, 2 if 2 characters exist in the cell or 3 if all the characters exist in the cell.
Finally you can use
Cells(MyRow, MyColumn).Font.Color = RGB(0, 51, 204)
to colour the cells maybe green, yellow or red depending on the CharExist value.
Just remember all the above code should be in your loop which steps through each cell of one column after another, and you must remember to reset the CheckA, CheckB, CheckC back to 0 at the end or beginning of each loop cycle to ensure that the previous cells value do not influence the next result in CharExist.
I hope this helps as I have a tendency to over explain so please forgive me if I gave more detail than what you needed.
So basicly i want a VBA script to fill Row B with the last four characters that are in Row A
RowA contains a telephone number with around 12 numbers in it.
Assuming that you meant to say
I have a series of telephone numbers in column A. I would like to
create a second column in which I have just the last four digits of
these numbers. I am new to Excel. Could someone please help me get
started on this?"
The answer would go like this:
In Excel you can create formulas that compute "something" - often based on the contents of other cells. For your specific situation, there is a function called RIGHT(object, length) which takes two arguments:
object = a string (or a reference to a string)
length = the number of characters (starting from the right) that you want.
You can see this for yourself by typing the following in a cell:
=RIGHT("hello world", 5)
When you hit <enter>, you will see that the cell shows the value world.
You can extend this concept by using a cell reference rather than a fixed string. Imagine you have "hello world" in cell A1. Now you can put the following in cell B1:
=RIGHT(A1, 5)
and you will see the value "world" in B1.
Now here is the cool trick. Assume you have a bunch of numbers in column A (say starting at row 2, since row 1 contains some header information - the title of the column). Then you can write the following in cell B2:
=RIGHT(A2, 4)
to get the last four digits. Now select that cell, and double-click on the little box in the bottom right hand corner:
Like magic, Excel figures out "you want to do this with all the cells in this column, for as many rows as there is data in Column A. I can do that!" - and your formula will propagate to all cells in column B, with the row number adjusted (so in row 3, the formula will be
=RIGHT(A3, 4)
etc.
Try
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
With ws.Range("B2:B99")
.Formula = "=Right(A2, 4)"
.Value = .Value
End With
I want to replace a #NUM! result with a blank
if {=SUM(LARGE(C2:I2,{1;2;3;4}))} returns a #NUM! (because 4 or more cells are blank) how do I replace the #NUM! with a BLANK?
the reason for this is because i would like to RANK the cells that contain a numeric value
eg: in the cell K2: =RANK(J2,$J2:J52,0)
You can try to complete you array formula:
{=SUM(IF(COUNTA(C2:I2)<2;0;LARGE(C2:I2,{1;2;3;4})))}
You can adjust the "2" depending on the number of values you want to have for LARGE to work.
