    Time date calculations: 1. fiscal work weeks which do not align with a normal calendar year 2. how to subtract holidays from working days

    • Kerry says:

      =networkdays() function! Includes an option to refer to a list of holidays, this function saved me from ever having to count days on a calendar again.

    • Sachin says:

      I do a lot of fiscal day and fiscal week calculations, and our fiscal year starts on October 1.

      For the days elapsed in a fiscal year, I use:

      =TODAY()-((YEAR(TODAY())-1)&"/10/1")

      If your fiscal year begins on a different day, then change the "/10/1" to the month and day your year begins.

      To calculate number of weeks elapsed, simply use:
      INT(previous formula/7)

      To calculate weeks elapsed directly, use:

      =INT((TODAY()-((YEAR(TODAY())-1)&"/10/1"))/7)

      NOTE: This returns the number of whole weeks elapsed. If you want to include the partial week, then don't use the INT function.

    I have a worksheet that is roughly 100 columns wide and 200 columns tall, and I would like to be able to get a sum at the bottom of each column that represents the sum of the product of each cell (quantity) times a common column (unit cost). Obviously, I could do it as an explicit sum of products, but what I want is to be able to use the "$" in front of the common column (unit cost), then copy down / across to create the desired column-by-column sums.

    Also, I agree, very simple to complex instructions (for things such as Dashboards) would be VERY helpful. The directions can never be too simple for me!

    It might be useful if some weekly newsletters/emails were geared for the beginner--or at least include a very beginner tip now and then!

  137. Cindy Irvin says:

    How to determine what value is an outlier. For instance, I'm analyzing 100+ shipments to see how many days it took for the shipment to arrive versus the agreed transit time - let's say 5 days. On average, 90% of the shipments arrive on time. I would like to analyze the outliers separately, but I'm not sure how to determine the outliers or the cut-off for the number of days above the agreed transit (5 days in this example). Some outliers are obvious, such as a shipment that took 20 days to arrive, but what about a shipment that took 7, 9 or 11 days? Is there a formula to determine outliers or is it an organizational decision? Thank you for your time.

  138. Vic says:

    I struggle with putting parenthesis around negative figures in accounts. It can be done using format>numbers>custom and then putting brackets around one of the custom types. It works but I have to find this each time. It's impossible to save that as a recall formula.

    2) To easiliy work GUI (with options buttons, entry boxes, lists, etc) for VBA Excel for a unexperienced user in GUI matters as me.
    3) Chart : Shadow a solid color between two curves, between curve and Left or Right margins.
    4) Chart: Multiple X axis for a curve (one or two more than existing Primary and Secondary)...all with single Y axis.

      Hi Vic, this was a survey and not a Q&A post. We usually address reader comments in other posts, but in polls or surveys we just listen and use the questions for future posts.

      Coming to your question, the quickest way to get () around negative numbers is to use Accounting number format. You can quickly access this by pressing $ button on home ribbon, number area.

    • Hui... says:

      @Vic

    I am building a sports model, I have all the data I need, I'm just looking for a little help automating it.
    I have the following columns.
    Home Team
    Home Score
    HF (Form - W, D, L)
    HP (Points - 3, 1, 0)
    Away Team
    Away Score
    AF (Form - W, D, L)
    AP (Points - 3, 1, 0)

    For each current fixture, I want to lookup on my master data set and pull back the last 5 fixtures that team played

    eg Home Team = Last 5 times that team played at home
    and pull back Home Score into a cell, for fixtures 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5
    with 1 being the latest occurence in a list, the same for HF and HP

    Any suggestions ?

    Hello Chandoo, While going through your blog found this post, although its quite old. But I thought to share what bothers me.

    Could you help me learn OFFSET, INDIRECT, ROW and COLUMN Functions. I often find use of above mentioned 4 function on your blog & in forum, and they always give me tough time in understanding. Can you please help me master these four? with some examples where to use them.

    Thanks
