    Why it is reflecting Zero ?

    The conditions of SUMIFS must all be met. Since in your data, no row is in East, West, South and North regions it gives zero. To get what you want, use this instead: =SUMIFS(sales,region,"east") + SUMIFS(sales,region,"west") + SUMIFS(sales,region,"north") + SUMIFS(sales,region,"south")

    Activate cell the control sits in

    I think there is no simple way to find out which row an object (button, text box or shape) sits in. Objects do not really belong to any cells, rather they float on cell lay out. So you only object.top, object.left. There is a way to figure out the row number from object.top by looping thru...

    Complex lookup statement

    Interesting question. You need to deduplicate your data in column W first to get this work. I say in column X, write something like this: =W2+(0.0000000001)*row() and fill it down. And now use this in place of your array formula and drag it down. Assuming you are writing this formula in...

    Scrubbing a list in excel

    You can do it many ways, the easiest I can find is below. 1. Go to sheet 2, select all the invalid mailids and give them a name as list2 2. Come back to sheet 1 and in the adjacent column write =MATCH(A1,list2,0) 3. Drag it down to fill this for all 2000 email ids 4. Now select this results...

    excel 2010 freezing- not responding with macro

    This probably has very little to do with your computer configuration and more to do with your macro code. To begin with, I suggest following checks: Break your macro in to smaller sub macros and run one after another If you have a loop that processes lots of rows, try running it for few...

    Find Replace

    Interesting question GB. I do this often for my bank statements too. But never used formulas as my statement is even more complicated. But in your case, it makes good sense. You can use SUMPRODUCT, LEFT, LEN etc. to check which "Start with" matches with a given transaction and replace the...

    VLookup problem

    Your vlookup is returning #REF because you are using only column for lookup area, where you want information from 5th column. Make this change and it should work: =VLOOKUP($A2,B_EOM!$A$10:$E$227,5,FALSE) If you want to use both first name and last name in the lookup, use this array formula...

    Taste of Formulas

    Sounds like a fun idea RK... lets see what our users come up with. I will go first. 1. Most interesting formula. Well, there are so many formulas I wrote that meet this criteria. One of them is to calculate Work break down structure recursively using INDEX etc. You can see a similar formula...

    Allocate payment based on FIFO Basis

    Interesting question. I could not come up with a quick solution with formulas alone, so VBA to the rescue. The basic logic is simple, 1. Have two tables one for dues, one for payments. 2. For each payment, we will go thru rows in dues and see 3. if customer matches, and whether can...

    MATCH help

    Thanks for your question Weow.. I have looked at the file and I could not understand why this error is happening either. When I evaluate portions of the formula, I get correct result. I think the error may be due to complicated nature of your formulas. Since it felt like too much work to go...

    Failure doing VLOOKUP, Due to space in beginning and end of cells.

    If you do not want to clean your source data, you can also try using *vlookup value, like this: =vlookup("*"&value-to-look, range, column, false) This will ignore any spaces. For more on using such wildcards, refer to http://chandoo.org/wp/2010/11/01/using-wildcards-with-vlookup/

    Gantt Chart problem

    Hi Renie, I think I know what the problem is. You must be entering the dates 10-sept-2012 in the gantt chart Start day column (C). You need to enter the day number - ie 1 (since project start date is also 10-sept-2012). And enter the duration as 17 (since there are 17 days between 10-sept and...

    SUMPRODUCT and Time problem

    Hi John... As you may know, time is nothing but a value between 0 to 1. Each day in Excel is 1 number, so each hour is 1/24. This 6:00 hrs would be 0.25. So if a dentist logged 93:00 hrs, it would be 93/24 = 3.88. Since 3.88 can be represented as a date, Excel correctly shows it as 3/01/1900...

    SumProduct: Sorting does not update relative references

    Hi Collock, Not just some functions, practically all functions in Excel do not update references when you sort the data. A reference A1 written in B1 just refers to one cell to the left. It does not matter what value the cell contains due to sorting. Please read...

    count conditional formatted cells

    @Xljgd: As you Hui mentioned, you should come up with a formula that mimics exact conditions set in conditional formatting to count highlighted cells. For your original example, you are highlighting all dates prior to TODAY(). So, to count number of cells highlighted, you can use below...
