    Your book list has all Excel 2007 books, do you actually use Excel 2007? Your last post with screenshots was Excel 2003 (I think).

  2. Andy Cotgreave says:

    Great post. I learnt a few great little tips in here, despite using Excel for 15 years!

  3. Chandoo says:

    @JP: I use both 2003 and 2007 (about 50% of time each). Even though excel 2003 is used for screencaps etc., I think learning excel 2007 is better than 2003 if you are buying books.

  12. carlos pando says:

    Hi,
    Great list. I don´t know why these shortcuts are always kind of hidden when they are so usefull. I think Excell should have an easy way to see them in the help or something.

    and here is another one:
    to fill down a group of selected cells (with the value of the upper selected one)

    Also you may find that if you use Excel in another language you may need to adapt a bit this shortcuts (which I find really anoying) for example:
    To insert current date, To insert current time. Worked really well in my English excel, but now I am using excel in German and they don´t work at all. I´ve discovered that in this case I only need to replace the semicolon for the period and everything is fine.
    And in the case of to fill down the sellected cells, I need to use

    Hello,
    In tip 36 To find age of a person based on DOB :

    It is not correct to use the date format "yy mm dd" to dysplay an age !!!!

    Assume an age of 60 years 0 month and 24 days
    how to display the month 0 ?

    on the other hand:
    an age of 60 years 12 months 31 days is inconsistent!

    you better use DATDIF function

    Cheers !!!

  15. Chandoo says:

    @Modeste: thanks for your tip on datedif(), it is an undocumented function. 🙂

    • Modeste says:

      Hi... Chandoo

      Though DATEDIF is saddly bugged when used with "md" argument !!!
      probe it :
      when recente date is leap year
      and recente date month is january
      and recente date day is lower than old date day
      i.e.
      Old date recente date =DATEDIF($A2;$B2;"y") =DATEDIF($A2;$B2;"ym") =DATEDIF($A2;$B2;"md")

    • Bonnie says:

      I am just wondering if this question was answered, as I also would like to know how to do this for a smilar application.
      Thank you.

    • MURALI says:

      Here’s how to do it…
      Step 1 – Create an empty table in your another sheet with the same source table headers ( Name, class,file number etc) with file number as 1st column in both the sheets.
      Format the file number cell differently from the rest because this will be your input cell. This new table is empty, but not for long…

      Step 2 – Populate each field with a VLOOKUP

      Write a VLOOKUP for each field, except the first one (file number). Use it to search the file number over and over, returning a different field each time. Change the column numbers of each VLOOKUP accordingly, e.g. column_index_num=2 for Name, column_index_num=3 for class, etc.
      See how the VLOOKUP formula changes...

      =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5,2,0)
      =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5,3,0)
      =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5,4,0)
      =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5,5,0)

    dear chandoo, tell me how to protect a particular cell or rows or column in ms-excel 2003.

  53. Chandoo says:

    @Sunjay... follow this process:

    1) select cells, rows or columns you want to protect. Go to format cells
    2) make sure the option "Locked" is checked from protection tab.
    3) right click on worksheet name and choose protection
    4) give a password and repeat it
    5) Now, your worksheet is protected and all the locked cells are not editable.

    You can do a lot more with worksheet protection. Just play with the options.

    Hi,
    I have data in many columns. I need to compare any of the two columns and so while comparison I require only the two columns to be displayed with the others hidden. Could you please suggest me any macro for this. Is this possible without using the feature of hiding columns? Please suggest.. Thanks in advance

    • MURALI says:

      Dear, you did not mention the total no of cols & rows you in your data. Also you didn't mention, what actions you take during comparison or after comparison. Whether you want to have the data table in original format or not. There are 3 ways to my mind to use for your comparison requirements as below ( without use of any Macros, and without hiding the balance cols, but they shall not be visible):
      1. Split the window vertically, adjust both the col widths to compare to fit the screen.
      2. Have a blank row immediately on top of your data table. Put 1 and 2 in the blank row for both cols you want to compare. Select the Range of Row from 1 to 2. Then custom sort Horizontally. Now you have both the cols with 1, 2 side by side for your comparison. Adjust the width of your both cols to fit your screen. So other cols are not visible as well not hidden. After your comparison is over, click undo till both cols compared go back to their original position. Start comparison of other 2 fresh cols by repeating the steps.
      3. Have two screens(monitors) and select one col in one screen and adjust col width to fit the 1st screen width. Select other col in other screen and adjust col width to fit the 2nd screen width. Compare and then continue the process.

  71. SARAN KUMAR says:

    Very nice stuff..

    Tip 16: To select data in current region, press ctrl+shift+8

    In fact, it is Ctrl+* to select data in current region.. here shift+8 is nothing but *. Dont try Crl+shift+8 (from nums key pad..which is right side of your keyboard). If you want to use ctrl+shift+8 then you have to press 8 above the alphabet keys.

    @ Kalyan,

    First of all, MVP is not certification course at all. MVP (Microsoft Valuable Professional) is the award which is given by Microsoft. MS will give this award based on the individual last one year contribution towards any MS Domain. Means you have to participate into different forums to answer the readers questions, or you can maintain your own blog to give guidance to the people on that particular domain. Before all these you have some skills and ready to learn new things everyday.

    Chandoo, did lot of work and gave very gud guidance to the readers through his posts. That is the reason chandoo got MVP prestigious award from MS.

    All the best Kalyan..if you want even you can...follow learn and share techniQue

    First define name by refering to =GET.WORKBOOK(1)&T(NOW())

    Then use this below formula to get the number of worksheets in the current work book

    =counta(index(defined name,0))

      vlookup is not a calculation, but it is to obtain info from an existing table data to meet your requirements. so, you should have(create) your data table first, then, you can obtain the info as required from your data table using lookup functions.

    I am a silence reader of your website. Today it forced me to contact you.
    I am using Excel 2010 but while I am pasting data into excel sheet, It's pasting one Picture bitmap Image) not data. Even I re-installed office 2010 too also but the problem still same.

      @Sajid

      What is the source of your data?

      How do you select the data?

      When you paste it into Excel, instead of Paste, Right click and select paste, are there any other options?

      Can you share a sample of the data source ?

       

       

  87. Hi,
    My source data is table data from MS Dynamic 2009. I am copying whole data & when I try to paste it into excel I just get the bitmap...and no other options in paste special then 'bitmap'. But other peoples are working fine with same operating system & office 2010 which they don't have such difficulty. I have seen someone had the same problem in the following link but no solution described.

    Dear Mr. Hui,
    I'm not able to work the following relation in excel, would you please help me?
    If A1<40 then 34
    if (A1 and B1)<40 then 30
    if (A1 and B1 and C1)<40 then 26
    if (A1 and B1 and C1 and D1)<40 then 22 else 38.

    • Hui... says:

      @Aneek
      =IF(AND(A1<40,B1<40,C1<40,D1<40),22,IF(AND(A1<40,B1<40,C1<40),26,IF(AND(A1<40,B1<40),30,IF(A1<40,34,28))))

      You will note that the logic is backward as if you check A1 by itself first you will never get past the first If, if A1<40.

      • ANEEK says:

        Dear Mr. Hui,
        Thanks a lot it works perfectly,
        another problem is when i put A1>40 it shows the 38 others are stays <40 means B1<40,C1<40,D1<40 then its will show 26. how would i write this logic?

        • ANEEK says:

          Dear Mr. Hui,
          Actually I am trying to say that If any of the like A1 or B1 or C1 or D1 <40 it will subtracts 38-4, So it stands if A1<40 and others are >40 it should show 34 if A1 and B1 <40 it should show 30 others are >40, again  if A1>40 others are like B1 and C1<40 it should show 30. How would i do this?

          • MURALI says:

            =IF(COUNTIF(A1:D1,"<40")=1,34,IF(COUNTIF(A1:D1,"<40")=2,30,IF(COUNTIF(A1:D1,"<40")=3,26,38)))

            if B1<40 then 202
            if C1<40 then 203 else "-" ; addition with this if (A1<40 and B1<40) then "201,202" or if (A1<40 and C1<40) then "201, 203" or if (B1<40 and C1<40) then "202, 203" else "-".
            Would you please help me for the above problem?

            @Aneek

            Firstly, Although I assist here at Chandoo.org I am not employed by Chandoo.org, I receive no remuneration, reward and half the time no thanx for the responses I offer.

            If something is urgent I would suggest that you hire an Excel Consultant.

            In regards to your answer, I offer answers not just to do your work, but to assist you with solutions both to solve your immediate problem, but then also so that you can analyse the solution and learn to develop solutions yourself for future similar problems as was the case with your previous similar question.

            In regards this specific question, you may want to try :

            =IF(AND(B1<40,C1<40),"202, 203", IF(AND(A1<40,C1<40), "201, 203", IF(AND(A1<40,B1<40), "201, 202", IF(C1<40,"203", IF(B1<40,"202", IF(A1<40,"201","-"))))))

            You may need to retype all the " marks when you copy/paste this formula in your worksheet

    How do i fill down the upper cell data in column with one keyboard function? Usually the ctrl+D fills down till the next populated cell. Then again I need to select that cell and again use Ctrl+D function to fill down that cell data down the next column of cells. ?

    for eg In column A, I have  data in cell A1 then another data in A10 and A15 and A20. I need to fill them down their respective blank cells. Instead of using Ctr+D 4 times.

    Dear Sir,

    It's really great to have this kind of stuff at free of cost. I enjoyed very much and learnt  a lot. 

    Its always like to surf your site.

    Sir, I have one question, and here it is:

    1. How can we fill all the cell with "0" automatically, or with any formula, is it possible?

    2. In one of the no. format you have formatted the number cell by using $  ____. so that Symbol will continue to show even if there is no value, but when I have used that format in one of my file, but i want to show $   0 but automatically it shows $   -   only instead of $   0.

    So what is the format to be used to Show $   0 , Zero will continue to show   rather than -.

    Thanks for your wonderful tips and other valuable tips on excel.

    Thanks once again...!!!!

    Can some one help in changing the Date format (from:DD-MM-YYYY to:YYYY-MM-DD in the excel cells?
    For instance - Copy pasting the list of dates from DB columns values to Excel workbook, the date formats would be mixed like "29-12-2012" and "2010-01-26".
    After pasting the values to excel, I have tried the below items which doesn't works still!
    -Right Click on the Cell and change the date format,general and tried custom format as well.
    -Format painter, copy the dates from the text pad and paste it to cells.
    -only thing I could see is, when checking the data type for the cells using function [=TYPE(Cellref)], it shows both 1 and 2 values for dates in the colums which was the numeric and text.
    -even if I do a copy dates from text pad, the delimiter for the date is getting changed by auto when pasting in to excel.
    For Eg: all the dates have same delimiter in text pad like "29-10-2010" , "2010-03-11", etc,. but when pasting it to excel it just coverts like "29-10-2010" , "3/11/2010", etc,. which is not fine.
    Any suggestions/help in this regard is much appreciated!

      Hi ... every body

      using date format yy mm dd to display the age of captain

      what about : 21 years 12 months 24 days ???
      and
      45 years 0 month 20 days ( 0 month is not available)

      use formulas like this :

      years = TEXT(NOW()-birth_date,"yyyy")-1900
      months = TEXT(NOW()-birth_date,"mm")-1
      days = 1*TEXT(NOW()-birth_date,"dd")

      ;o)
      but I prefer :
      years = INT((NOW()-birth_date) / 365.25)
      months = INT(MOD((NOW()-birth_date) / (365.25 / 12) , 12))
      days = INT(MOD((NOW()-birth_date) , (365.25 / 12)))

    I would like to use sumif or sumifs function and the criteria is search a text in the text string like searching "LPG" from "Domestic LPG". The *LPG* star works but my problem is that I would like the search string to be referred from adjacent cell instead of typing since I have different search strings and would avoid typing each name for better flexibility. Any solution?

    • Chandoo says:

    2- Also this tip is very useful & can be added:

    3- It's better that tip No. 11 (To hide current row, press ctrl+9)

    Sir,

    To get the first name of a person, use =left(name,find(” “,name)-1)
    To get the second name of a person ?

    And
    I want to remove the space from "Deepa Chandrasekaran", How will you do it?

    • Tarun Yadav says:

      Hi Deepa,

      To get the second name of a person, use = RIGHT(name,LEN(name)-FIND(" ",name))

      And to remove space from the name, use = SUBSTITUTE(name," ","")

    • ak says:

      =IF(LEN(B32&D32)+1>LEN(A32)," ",MID(A32,LEN(B32)+2,LEN(A32)-LEN(B32&D32)-1))

      plz use it

  140. Mouli says:

    Hi,

    I have two cells like below.
    Category Wages
    O/L TAILOR -I 280
    F/L TAILOR -I 305
    HELPER 175
    CUTTING HELPER 220

    I need a automatic for wages cell , (e.g If I entered O/L TAILOR IN CATEGORY CELL AND WAGES SHOULD BE CHANGE AUTOMATIC VALUE OF 280)Some one help me out

    • Tarun Yadav says:

      Mouli it can be done easily using various functions. simplest would be Vlookup.
      Place the actual table in an excel sheet and then use Vlookup in the cell where you want the values to change when you change the category.

      Example; (Below is your table)
      A1 - O/L TAILOR -I B1 - 280
      A2 - F/L TAILOR -I B2 - 305
      A3 - HELPER B3 - 175
      A4 - CUTTING HELPER B4 - 220

      Cell A5 (Your Category)
      Cell B5 = Where you want the automatic value as per category
      Formula in B5 =Vlookup(A5,A1:B4,2,0)

Can some one assist me?

  147. Rubeshgar says:

    Is it possible to make add operation with some value and to replace the same value in the current cell?
    For example I have to take a reading for 50 projects for every 5mins,Like that I may take nearly 100 times readings over every project on a day so instead of SUM formula if there could be anything which calculates the value which I entered to previous value.
