  2. Hi Svetlana

    I'm trying to build a spreadsheet to progressively record a players best scores on each of 18 golf holes, over four rounds of golf.

    So on day one they will have a score on each of 18 holes. Their total for the 18 holes will be shown at the end.

    On each successive day, if they have a better score on one or more of those holes, then the score for those holes will change, along with their total for 18 holes.

    So as an example:

    Day 1

    HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

    SCORE 2 2 3 2 0 2 3 3 0 2 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 0 29

    Day 2

    HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

    SCORE 2 2 3 3 0 2 3 3 0 2 2 1 2 2 4 1 1 0 33

    On day two, they had a better score on holes 4, 11 and 15, so their overall total increased by 4 to 33.

    This would be repeated on days 3 and 4 and changes made depending on their scores for each individual hole.

    The objective is to determine the players best scores on each of 18 holes, over 4 rounds.

    I would appreciate any help you can give so that I can build my Excel spreadsheet.

    kind regards

    Dave

  3. Hello,
    I've been trying to figure this out, in the worksheet given to me as an assignment, the question is to use the if statement to recruit workers that have applied but the must be SLIM AND FEMALE and I have no idea on how to come up with a formula for that considering the fact that there are 2 conditions(slim and female)

  4. Going out on a limb & praying I get some help. It is more a 2 part issue and as a result I tried to break it apart. Thanks in advance if anyone does help out. If not, I completely understand.

    Overview: We have to record the absences at my job. When the agents call in we obtain some basic information. It is a voicemail inbox though. So sometimes it is extremely hard to understand things. The managers continue to add things they want us to track. With larger numbers of staff it has just become a nightmare.

    Issue 1:
    When the agents call in we obtain some basic information and send it out to our managers/supervisors/QA team. What I was trying to determine is if there was some way to take the data I have on an alternate spreadsheet, and make it so that when I enter the agent's phone number it will populate the basic data for us? Essentially, we have a field for last name, first name, supervisor, their reason for missing, shift start time, department, and site.

    What I have been working on for weeks was a table that actually contains the data I want to be pulled in when the phone number is entered. I've added some extra fields that would allow for alternate phone numbers and things like that. So if the agent ever uses a phone number not in the system we could just add it to their "profile" & increase the chances of the automatic entry. I was also going to build a list of generic reasons that contain no details. Just because that is yet another thing the managers & clients both want. Totals of each reason.

    My big question is: is this even possible? Making it so that when 1 thing of text is entered into a cell - the other data populates automatically?

    Issue 2: The main manager wanted a running total at the top of the page. I used =COUNTIF in order to make that operational. However, the client requests a more detailed breakdown. They basically want a total for each start time + what department they are. So for example, I'd have 20 for 7:45 - 2 are Claims / 1 is a Team Lead. 12 for 8:00 - 3 chat + 4 dual skilled etc. etc. etc.

    I was trying to figure a way to where as the call outs were entered in - the formula would automatically be totaling everything.

    Another thing that may be useful with this 2nd issue.... The last sentence basically explains why I felt that way:

    Our manager wanted a total at the top of the spreadsheet. I would often forget to tally it up. So I used =COUNTIF and.... Yeah... I'm not an expert. So I just added an extra row and I put the "bitcoin B" symbol in that row. Thus it only counts that symbol. When a new day starts I just delete the "B" out of that row. I also have a row called "Filter". They want us to keep all of the past data but want the column headers in the email. The easiest way for me was to just put an X in this "Filter" column for todays call outs. When tomorrow rolls around I just delete the X out, filter to show only the "X" (removing blank fields). And repeat daily. So it keeps all the past call outs (We average 20k per year) out of way. ----

    Reasoning mentioned above & possibly the only useful part of that ramble: I didn't know if having the unique symbol already active would help with the counting process since the range it is counting will be changing on a daily basis. I thought maybe the "B" symbol would help identify what needs to be counted.

    Very likely all of this is impossible and that is why no one else has done it already and I am just an idiot?

    1. Hello!
      As you enter text in a cell, other data can be automatically filled in using the VLOOKUP or INDEX + MATCH function.
      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is impossible to give you advice.
      I'm sorry, it is not very clear what result you want to get. Could you please describe your task in more detail and send us a small sample workbook with the source data and expected result to support@ablebits.com? Please shorten your tables to 10-20 rows/columns and include the link to your blog comment.
      We'll look into your task and try to help.

  5. Hi Svetlana,

    I have a range of cells across a sheet (24 rows x 27 columns).

    => First Column is Cycle (rows 1 to 24 )

    =>Last column(27th) is "Total Days" which is summation of columns "Days" having values ( 29 or 30 or 31 or 32 or 33 ) resulting to "Total Days" 364 or 365 or 366 for the year, which are derived as difference between two columns having dates. eg Col B2 = (17/03/2020) ; Col C2 = (16/04/2020) ; Col D2 = 30. Where D2 = C2-B2.

    =>In the sheet ,after "Cycle", Next two columns are having "Months" and third is "Days", but the subsequent columns after this are "Months" and "Days". Month cells are custom formatted as mmm-yy like:

    Cycle | Mar-20 | Apr-20 | Days | May-20 | Days | Jun-19 | Days | Jul-19 | Days | Aug-19 | Days | Sep-19 | Days | Oct-19 | Days | Nov-19 | Days | Dec-19 | Days | Jan-20 | Days | Feb-20 | Days | Mar-20 | Days | Total Days

    =>Each Month cell below is a linked formula to next date of the column Month cell across the range such that for Months, the formula is to avoid dates from a range of public holidays and Sundays between cells C33 and C103 which are maintained in col C64 onwards.
    eg.
    I2 cell formula is
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+1),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+1),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+2),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+2),(IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+3),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+3),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+4),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+4),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+5),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+5),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+6),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+6),"More than 6 days")))))))

    I3 Cell Formula is
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+1),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+1),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+2),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+2),(IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+3),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+3),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+4),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+4),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+5),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+5),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+6),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+6),"More than 6 days")))))))

    =>The whole idea is to match the difference between dates across the sheet to fit in (364 or 365 or 366) total days and Col "Days" between (28 to 32) such that each cycle average number of days is maintained close to 30.

    =>What formula can be set to fill dates in particular cell C33 onwards to achieve the above?

    Thanks and regards,
    Dev.

  6. Can i do such a formula: If value in column A has the letters CC at the beginning, then delete the CC?

    1. Hi,
      Using a formula, you can display the value in another cell and remove extra characters:

      =IF(LEFT(A1,2)="CC",REPLACE(A1,1,2,""),A1)

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

      1. Thank you so much Alex.
        Now how do i add to this formula that the last 3 letters should be removed as well?
        For example: if i have a list of the following
        CCGDR3M-1#1.
        CCG5M-05#2.
        CCGD34GM-11#5.
        and i want to remove the CC at the beginning and the #1. or the #2. or the #5. at the end (Note: i want to remove the . as well)

  7. How do I change a colum with (NO) to read (0) while Colum with (YES) to read (1),Column with (NOT RANGED) to read (-)

  8. Hi,

    I'm stuck with the following problem.

    I'm trying to work out loss and gain on a starting number so my formula is -

    =IF(C2<D2, "GAIN", "LOSS") and so on...

    However, It will always show "LOSS" in the cell when cell D2 is blank. I only want it to show LOSS if a number has been inputted in both cells. Would anyone know what I need to change for this?

  9. would it be possible to have two formulas in one cell

  10. how do i write a formula for
    if a value on a cell is less than or equal 3.99sf on a particular column it should always show and calculate as 4sf on my h column

    I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

    Hi
    Thank you for your response, it does work but i have assigned different formula already on cell, how can i apply your formula on an entire column, i tried this method and it doesnt work, by the way im doing all this on google sheet.

    1. Hello!
      I wrote this formula based on the description you provided in your original comment. Explain what is not working. If you want to write 2 formulas in a cell, then this is not possible.

  13. Hi,

    I need help trying to create a formula that determines if the cell contains a numeric value or an alphanumeric value. If it is an alphanumeric value, leave it as is, but if it is a numeric value and letters. For example if 123456, then change to INV123456, and if INV123456 leave it alone.

    1. Hi,
      Please check the formula below, it should work for you:

      =IF(ISNUMBER(--(A1)),"INV123456",A1)

      I hope I answered your question.

  14. Hi there
    I have what I believe a very simple comparison to make between two date columns:
    I want to compare column A2 and column B2 and have the formula tell me if A2 is less than B2.
    So far, what I'm using is giving me false results.
    I have tried:
    =A2<B2
    and also
    =IF (A2<B2,"Yes","No") but this also gave incorrect results.

    Example data:
    A2: 08/09/2020
    B2: 14/07/2020
    In this example the query about whether or not A2 is smaller than B2 should yield a "No" result but it is throwing out a "Yes" when it is clear that the A2 date is a greater date.

    My date format is DD/MM/YYYY.

    Can anybody help?

    1. Hi,
      Check your dates. I think that cell B2 is written as text, not as a date. Maybe the date format of 14/07/2020 does not match your Windows date format. Maybe the correct format is 07/14/2020. Check the date and time settings in the Control Panel.

    2. Hi all... please ignore my query! I've worked it out.

      Simply had to run Date - Text to Columns on my Date columns (already formatted as Date Format) in order to get the formula to compare the dates properly.

      Hope this helps someone else!

      cheers
      Kaz

      1. Gah! Typo... that solution was:

        Data - Text to Columns (NOT Date - Text to Columns).

  15. Hello Alexander,
    If you are able to assist me with my request, it would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to have a cell be copied from sheet 1 to sheet 2 when an "if" value is met. For example:

    if a cell in the d column on sheet 1 reads "T", then I want the matching cell in e column to be copied to sheet 2.

    The context is, that when a task is Tabled (T), in my list of things done in that day (Sheet 1), then on the following sheet (Sheet 2), a list of future tasks will be created. As the task is completed, I would change the status on the original page, and the task would no longer be carried over to the corresponding cell on sheet 2 . This would assist me in organizing my weekly to-do list.

    Thank you for considering my request.

    1. Hello!
      Here is the article that may be helpful to you: Vlookup multiple matches and return results in a column.
      and this article: Excel reference to another sheet or workbook (external reference).
      Use an array formula

      =IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$13, SMALL(IF($H$1=$D$2:$D$13, ROW($E$2:$E$13)-1,""), ROW()-2)),"")

      This is an array formula and it needs to be entered via Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter.
      Change the links in the formula according to your data.
      After that you can copy this formula down along the column.

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  17. Hi Alexander. I am blown away by the amount of answers you have addressed in this thread! Thank you for offering so much value out there...hoping that mine will be included ;-)

    I am trying to use an IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH formula to perform a calculation based on whether a partial text match exists. I am wanting to pull the text from a cell and use that cell address in the formula to test for a partial match in another field. Otherwise I will be required to manually input the text multiple times throughout the formula. I'm having issues getting the formula to pull my text from a cell....for example:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*b3*",B$15)), C$15, C$21) where the text I'm looking for is located in cell b3. Is there syntax that will accomplish this?

    1. Hello!
      If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:

      =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B3,C$15,1)), C$15, C$21)

      You can read more about the SEARCH function in this article.

      1. Thanks Alexander! That is so obvious now that I see it that I am embarrassed. I've tried it and it works perfectly. Thank you again for your quick, straightforward help!

  18. Struggling with an If statement.

    =(IF(D4="S", ((H4-F4)/(F4-I4), (IF(D4="L",((F4-H4)/(I4-F4))))

    what I tried entering. keeps rejecting the formula.
    It's my trade journal and looking to determine risk rewad. So when I go Long it needs the L formula and Short the S.

    Appreciate any help

    1. Hello!
      I can’t test your formula as it uses your data.
      Try the following formula:

      =IF(D4="S", (H4-F4)/(F4-I4), IF(D4="L",(F4-H4)/(I4-F4),""))

      Hope this is what you need.

  19. I saw that you really active in replying comments ^^.
    I want some answers too for my problem.

    Is it possible to put/show results to another cell? (i dont know what this method called/its name; or this cant be implemented in Excel)

    Lets say:
    A1 value is 0
    A2 value is 0
    A3 value is 0
    A4 value is 0

    When A1 value turn to 1
    A2 = 200
    A3 = 400
    A4 = 600

    Its something like this,
    if A1 =1, A2 = 200*A1 | A3 = 400*A1 | A4 = 600*A1

    A single cell that using fuction, and write the results into other cell

    Is it possible?
    THanks

    1. Hello!
      An Excel formula can only write the result to the cell in which it is located. If a value has already been written in a cell, then it can only be changed using a VBA macro

  22. Hi.

    I'm trying to lookup if text matches to return a text string and if it doesn't match, to lookup in another sheet, but it only is seeming to check the first lookup, not the second.

    =IF(VLOOKUP(C2687,'Master Data'!A:A,1,FALSE)=C2687, "regular listed", IF(VLOOKUP(C2687,'Community Service - Master Data'!A:A,1,FALSE)=C2687, "community service", "No Master Data!"))

    1. Hello!
      If I understand you correctly, you want to return not one value, but an array. Then try this formula

      =IF(SUM(--(B6:B26=$E$46))>0,C6:C26,"")

      Hope this is what you need.

    F7 has this formula (=F1-F2)
    Example: If F7...
    is greater than or equal to 0.5 then 2
    is less than or equal to -0.5 then -2

  26. Hi.

    I am trying to do a product costing spreadsheet. working with 3 different rates of VAT. i'm hoping to indicate which one of the rates applies to the product with a check box? and then using the IF function to give me 'cost per item' based on what rate is selected because the others don't apply.

    Hope this makes sense :)

    1. Hello!
      You can check 3 boxes for each VAT. With the IF function, you will check the value of 3 cells. You can also use the dropdown list and specify 3 VAT values in it. Then, in the formula, just use the value from the dropdown list.
      I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

  31. I have an employee training log that goes back about three years. I need to know if and how I can write a formula in a different sheet to look at a list of required training, compare it to the training log and tell me on the new sheet what employee has not taken what training. Is this possible or are my hopes too high for excel?

      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. Please provide me with an example of the source data and the expected result.

  32. Good Morning!

    Hello Ma'am/Sir,

    I have some problems regarding date formula.

    =IF(EXACT($K9,"NOT DONE"),EXACT($K9,"DONE"),TODAY())

    That is the formula that i created if the value in the cell is "DONE" & "WIP" today Date will be shown in the cell. And if the value is different the cell value would be "NA" but the issue if i am putting next argument the excel showing an error "You've entered too many arguments for this function" this is the formula i created where error is showing =IF(EXACT($K9,"NOT DONE"),EXACT($K9,"DONE"),TODAY(),"NA") If you can help me with this it will be a big help.

    Another thing Ma'am & Sir,

    =IF(EXACT($K9,"NOT DONE"),EXACT($K9,"DONE"),TODAY()) for this formula once if i put the text "DONE" & "WIP" the today date will shown but the issue is once it is in the next day the next day date will be updated in the cell i want it like when i put Done and WIP today date will be there but if it is possible it will not change on the next day or the other date. Like when they put DONE or WIP in today date it will not change the date by tomorrow it self because it is updated once the date change by the next day.

    It will be a big help for me if you will answer it thanks and regards.

  33. Hi, I'm trying to use an if function to check if a string value matches it, it adds the corresponding numeric value to a cell but it doesn't work.

    =If(C10:C43="Income",J10:J43+H7, H7+0)

    So basically, I want the sheet to check that if Income is selected on the C range, the value from J is then added to the cell H7. This is for an expense tracker that I'm currently working on.

    I'm new to this and I really appreciate any help.

    1. Hello!
      In a cell like K10, you can use a formula

      =IF(C10="Income",$H$7+J10, $H$7)

      Then copy this formula down the column.
      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

    I need help in Excel cell. I want to fill the time only if if is not filled. To fill the time I am already using IF statement =IF(E2 "", NOW(), ""), so trying to solve with nested IF statements. But unfortunately it is not working.

    With statement =IF(E2 "", NOW(), "") - it is filled the value in Coloumn B2 with now time, but it if I enter in new row, the time in previous row get updated. Can you please help.
    Regards

    1. If you want the formula to fill in the blanks then it should be =IF(E2="", NOW(),B2)

      Now() function is dynamic so it will continuously update. If you want previous entries to stay static then you need to copy+paste as values.

    1. Hello,

      I'm creating a Sales order form where I use the following formula -
      =if(and(F18>0, D18>0, E18>0),C18*D18*E18*(1-F18),"")

      So what I'm trying to do is to multiply cells C18 through E18 and if there is a discount amount in cell F18, then include it and get the final net price which includes the discount amount. This is fine and works.

      What I can't make work is to multiply cells C18 through E18, but if there's no discount amount (cell E18 is left blank), I would still get the net price without the discount code.

      I hope this makes sense! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks!

  38. i need help if formula
    tax slab is Rs. 0 - 250000 = 0
    next 250000 - 500000=5%
    next 500000 - 750000=10%
    next 750000 - 1000000=15%
    next 1000000-1250000=20%
    next 1250000-1500000=25%
    next 1500000 above 30%

    if my income is 875000 or 1420000
    please send formula,
    =IF(K3>500000,250000,0)*5%+IF(K3>750000,500000,IF(K3>500000,K3-500000))*10%+IF(K3>1000000,750000,IF(K3>750000,K3-750000))*15%+IF(K3>1250000,1000000,IF(K3>1000000,K3-1000000))*20%+IF(K3>1500000,1250000,IF(K3>1250000,K3-1250000))*25%+IF(K3>1500000,(K3-1500000),0)*30%
    this formula is not proper working after 10%

  39. IF AND OR?

    E4 is the sum of points a team gets as per awarded in A1:A3. If Team Bob is in A1 they get 7 pts. If in A2 they get 5 pts. If in A3 they get 2 pts. Ergo, possible totals are 2,5,7,9,12,14 points.

    For cell E4:
    IF(A1="Bob",A2="",A3="", 7)
    IF(A1="Bob",A2="Bob",A3="", 12)
    IF(A1="Bob",A2="Bob",A3="Bob", 14)
    IF(A1="Bob",A2="",A3="Bob", 9)
    IF(A1="",A2="Bob",A3="", 5)
    IF(A1="",A2="Bob",A3="Bob", 7)
    IF(A1="",A2="",A3="Bob", 2)

    IF(A1="",A2="",A3="", 2)

    Last statement is to say that if NONE of the above is true, enter "0" at E4

    The same calculation would occur for 4 other team: Carol(E5), Ted(E6), Alice(E7), Sam(E8)

    Thanks!

    1. Could not edit to a note here... my "last statement" above should be IF(A1="",A2="",A3="", 0)

  40. Hello,
    Everything I know about excel has been self taught and it's been so long that I'm going crosseyed trying to figure out what I need to do. I've downloaded a set of sheets that was designed by another person who obviously knew excel very well. It is intended for the creation of characters for a table role playing game. However I found that he missed a very basic game rule in his design and I'd like to add it. My issue is that I just can't seem to wrap my head around the formula. Without looking at the entire workbook, I'm not sure if you can help me.
    Here is the current formula in the cell that I am trying to change.

    =IF($CR3,"—",SUM(IF(AND(WildShape,WildshapeCell>1),WildShapeStr,IF(AND(Race="Hengeyokai",HengeyokaiAnimal"",HengeyokaiForm="Animal"),VLOOKUP(Subrace,TblCreatureInfo,CreatureStrCol),InitialStr)),$C3:$BL3,INDEX(BuffsAbilitiesAdj,$CD3)))

    Without context I'm sure that makes little sense aside from the layout of the formula. What I want to do is add in the following.
    If Race=human and CharacterAge is >=35, >=53, >=70 then add or subtract specified amount from the value in the cell dependent upon which of the number ranges the CharacterAge falls within.

    As I said, without looking at the sheet yourselves, I'm not sure if you can assist. Anything you can do would be fantastic!

    Thanks,
    NAt
