A simple text formula should do the trick =TEXT(A2-7,"mmm yy")

Hi Hui, Hope you are doing well. I haven't been able to spend much time online, but I got one of your posts (http://chandoo.org/wp/2015/03/27/conditionally-format-chart-backgrounds/), and thought I'll share one more solution. But I don't know how to attach the file. If it's fine with you, I...

This keeps getting better. 64 Characters =SUM(OFFSET(C2,,,IFERROR(MATCH(0,N(LEN(A2)<LEN(A3:A$20)),),19)))

Thanks Faseeh for the feedback. Just realized that I could take out 5 more characters :) =SUM(OFFSET(C2,,,MATCH(0,N(--SUBSTITUTE(0&A3:A$22,".",0)>--SUBSTITUTE(A2,".",0)),)))

No takers? I understand it's relatively simple compared to a lot of the other formula challenges, but that shouldn't make you abstain! Well, I'll go ahead and post my solution =SUM(OFFSET(C2,,,MATCH(0,--(--SUBSTITUTE(0&A3:A$22,".","0")>--SUBSTITUTE(A2,".","0")),)))

Narayan Of course that will work, but again, the idea is that the levels could be as long is it can... maybe 3 digits or 4 digits. Your original formula is fundamentally correct, but maybe could be a little more generic, to the extend that it considers any number of levels, and not just up to...

I might add that the only problem being, if the level exceeds to two digits, like 10, 11 or above, then the solution might not work exactly as intended

Narayan, that looks very much right. And shorter too. Great :) ... any other attempts anyone?

Sure Narayan. File attached in OP.

So we haven't had a new challenge in a while, so I thought I'll remind people that we have a section of the forum to pick your brains, by posting the following formula based challenge. I came across this in VBAExpress; so the credit for the question goes to the OP. So anyway, the challenge is...

Thanks Bob for the kind feedback. Will certainly post here if I get around with further tweaks.

dan, I am not sure mate. I think I just about manage to get by. :)

Good to be back after a while, though I don't know for how long. So first thing's first.... webmax, were you able to get it to work eventually, or did you need any help. Cheran, can you explain your requirement. What I think you want to do is to push data in to different workbooks for each...

And yes, sHistFile is getting it's value from the range Range("rngHistFile") which is in sheet contained in the variable shtHistStock

Yes, you can add a line MsgBox sHistFile within that sub-routine somewhere to throw you a message with the content of that variable. Alternatively, you could use Debug.Print sHistFileand go to the immediate window in the vba editor by pressing CTRL+G
