Help with formula
Hello! If I'm trying create a formula that pulls data from one sheet into another. I want it to pull in data in column E if column B has a january date AND column C has the word discover in it, into another tab within the same workbook. The formula below works perfect but the only problem is it has to be only the word "discover" (yellow cells) in the cell, if it says "discover - food" (green cells) it doesn't pull. Is there a way to have the formula pull the data if the word "discover" shows in column C but with other words like in the green cells? My current formula that kinda works: =INDEX('My ✓ing'!E:E,MATCH(1,(MONTH('My ✓ing'!B:B)=1)*('My ✓ing'!C:C="Discover"),0)) Pulling from this sheet below Into this sheet in the same workbook. The yellow ones work because it just has discover, the green is not cause it has Discover - food. Is there a way to get it to search for the word discover and not necessarily match? Thank you for any help!Solved68Views0likes2CommentsError installing Apps 365, command not supported.

Howdy. I have the following formula and it works fine. =FILTER(tblBasketList,(tblBasketList[Crew]="Days")*(tblBasketList[Last]<>"")*(tblBasketList[NoLight]<>"x")) The main "tblBasketList" is sorted first by Crew, then Unit, then Basket number. I want to do a sort where two different values in the crew column are combined, then sorted in a specific order. I'm able to get filter to show the two together. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to apply Sortby to it. =FILTER(tblBasketList, (tblBasketList[Last] <>"") * ((tblBasketList[Crew]= "A") + (tblBasketList[Crew] = "Days")) * (tblBasketList[NoLight]<>"x")) I've tried referencing the tblBasketList columns by name. I've tried doing it by column index. Neither worked, and I'm fairly certain it's just me messing something up. I want to sort it by a column named Unit, and then by BasketNumber. Which are the 5th and 1st columns. Any advice would be appreciated.Solved51Views0likes2CommentsData Masking Emails using Formulae
Hi guys, I am trying to work on my data masking skills and have ran into a problem. I am trying to mask the email addresses of the following data set (this is a fake set of data from an online course btw). I want to mask the emails such that: email address removed for privacy reasons will then become b******email address removed for privacy reasons . I want to make sure that the number of Asterisks represents the number of characters displaced, I have spent a while trying different formulae, however I have been able to generate a formula for the first email from E2 into F2, although this doesn't seem to work for the other rows of emails. Any help is much appreciated :)#Solved76Views0likes3CommentsVlookup returning random #NAs, Randcom Correct Responses
I have a multi-sheet workbook, with a named array of data. On a separate sheet I cite a first-column text of that named array, to extract datum from a column on that specific row. In other words, "VLookup." Maddeningly, there are some instances where the use of one of the text-strings in the array, produces an "NA" error. I can't figure this out, because I have: --Checked to make sure the named array covers the fields to which the Vlookup refers. --Checked (using "EXACT," "Cell=Cell," even simply copying the value from the named array into the formula) to make sure there are no common text/formating/other discrepancies between the citation and the cited cell. --Checked (redundantly) to make sure the cited cell DOES exist in the array. --Tried with other citations (some of which always work, some of which always do not. I will post/attach the file. Please note, the workbook is being developed, and so it's somewhat disorganized, but the two pertinent worksheets are "1 GenReservation Data" & "2 AvailabilityCalendar" The cell in question is in the "2 Availability Calendar", C17. This cell uses the results of B17 as the "Lookup Value" in the array titled "AE01_ReservationInfo." While there might be some thing caused by the formula in B17, it doesn't seem so: As you can see by some attempts by me to figure out the error, I've created a simple stripped-down Vlookup formula to resolve the problem, and the same thing happens, even if I simply copy from the Array the text that Vlookup must look up. I've also used other citations from the "1 GenReservation Data" page both directly and in the formula and they often work. For example, using, (either directly or derived via formula) the text "Farquar 2026-0415" or "Johnsonite 2025-0115" never work. But all the others do. Thanks for your ideas on this one! Sorry, this is my first posting, and I cannot see how to attach the file. Assumed that would be obvious (and maybe it is, but not to me :( ) So if you can help with that issue, I'll be able to provide a better context. But I'll try to include a table to illustrate the issue, even though that will only show . ...and that didn't work either. Claimed my table had invalid HTML and told me to remove tags...which I don't know how to do. Thanks for your help, either way.Solved48Views0likes2CommentsReturn only one instance of value for a repeated Item Codes in Excel

I am trying to count the number of entries that meet a given criterion across 141 worksheets. I first use =@INDEX(SheetNames,G3) to retrieve each sheet name where SheetNames is the range of sheet names and G3 is the cell reference for the sheet number. I then use =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$5:$H$145&"'!d34:d35"),A2)) where $H$5:$H$145 is the range of worksheet names created by the command above. cells d34 and d35 contain the information used to select the information to count, if it meets the criterion in column a. I followed the instructions for an earlier version of Excel and this combination worked. Now the SUMPRODUCT equation returns #REF. What has happened and how do I fix it.

Hi everyone, i am currently implementing sensitivity labels for our org and this one thing is really holding me back. Previously, it was possible do create a word-document (or any file) in OneDrive, share it to an external gmail (or any other) address and let them access it after using an email OTP. Nice! I have just recently created a set labels and assigned them to me in Purview. Most labels, including the one that is assigned to docs by default, do not apply any encryption. A label existing on a document still seems to make sharing way harder/impossible in certain scenarios: Created a fresh gmail-address-->created a fresh word document with a default label (public, no sharing restrictions, no encryption)--> Shared said document to said gmail-address via Link --> opened link in private browser tab --> OTP-Verification happens --> Document opens up in browser, then IMMEDIATELY forwards me to our tenants login-page. There, the gmail address user obviously cant log in since he is not a guest and does not have an account. The fun part: You can (sometimes) use the browser "back" button to return to the document to read and edit. This... can't be intended, right? Research suggests to me that word for the web attempts to resolve the label, for which it has to access our tenant. It then fails since no tenant user is logged in and prompts me to do so. When i use a gmail address, create a personal MS account, invite this account into my tenant as a guest, accept the request and share to that user, the user can work with the doc just fine after completing his steps. But this is way to much work for IMO. Has anyone seen this issue? Did i misconfigure something? Has anyone found a solution or a reasonable workaround or are people just living with this loss of functionality? Do you think its just a bug and i should report it?Solved48Views0likes2CommentsHelp With Excel Line Graph "Switches"
I apologize if this query has already been raised before. I have been tasked with creating a graph that compares data across multiple years. With how cluttered the graph is becoming, I was curious if it was possible to show/hide certain data ranges through formulas. I am aware I can do so through the graph settings, selecting which data series to hide and such, however it is likely I will be switching comparison between different years on the fly, and was wondering if I could set a simple command that will allow to show/hide each year's data ranges as necessary? Or will I just need to suck it up and interfere with the graph settings every time?Solved47Views0likes2CommentsFormula help - not sure where to start

Hi, As the picture show, I need to start with two columns text layout in a page and in the empty area on the 2nd column, make the remaining into 4 columns for text and small pictures. Is there a way to do that using columns layout? I tried to insert section break but section break will split and shorten my initial columnal text and leave the entire bottom area empty. I only need the right bottom for new columns. Is inserting a table the only way to achieve this? I prefer columns so that long text body will flow into the next column in the page.

I do a CSV download of banking data from my online account. Those data must be reconfigured (deleting, adding, and combining columns; turning positive numbers into negatives; sorting; etc) to be pasted into an Excel workbook in which I track my spending. I developed a 59-line macro to do all the reconfiguring for me and it runs perfectly if the CSV file (that I "Open with..." Excel) always has the same name...AccountHistory. But if I don't remember to delete that file from my Download folder, any subsequent downloaded CSV file gets a different name...AccountHistory-2, AccountHistory-3, etc. The problem is that certain lines of the macro (where I am sorting the rows) refer specifically to AccountHistory, so if I want to run the macro on AccountHistory-2, the macro locks up when it gets to there. Here is the code: ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AccountHistory").Sort.SortFields.Clear ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AccountHistory").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range( _ "C2:C1000"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _ xlSortNormal With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AccountHistory").Sort .SetRange Range("A1:E1000") .Header = xlYes .MatchCase = False .Orientation = xlTopToBottom .SortMethod = xlPinYin .Apply End With How can I get the macro to reference the workbook/worksheet on which I am running the macro, regardless of its workbook (and worksheet) name?
