Excel returns incorrect answer to simple multiplication.
I'm saving a few favourite math examples, and ran into a problem - the last of the calculations came back with an incorrect answer. I'm using a simple =cell1*cell2 formula. It should end with 21. Please help I'm using android app. All cells formatted as numbers.
Link 2 sheets, then sort column A on sheet 2 alphabetically and match correct data
I have two sheets on the same spreadsheet, and I want to pull in the data from 4 different columns to the second sheet and have it automatically update when there are changes or additions to the first sheet. I have a couple issues making this happen - the main one is that the data in my first sheet is custom sorted by color, but I want the new sheet to take the data from column B on sheet 1 and sort it alphabetically, and take the other columns and match them correspondingly to the correct values they match to from column B on the first sheet. Secondly, for blank cells, I want it to leave them blank instead of inputting zero, or any dates. I don't know if this is all even possible, or if I should just remove my custom filters from sheet 1 by cell color and just link it that way. I've spent hours trying to find formulas that work. Please see attached images for reference on what I've tried, and for more clarification as to exactly what I'm requesting. Sorry for the copious redacting, I wanted to be safe rather than sorry with identifiable info regarding this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Excel AND Formula displaying FALSE when it should be TRUE
I'm doing the CENGAGE Excel Assignment 2. I'm supposed to use the AND Formula like this: AND([Project Type]="Drama",[Approved?]="No" in the newly created "Delay?" column. But all the results are FALSE even when both conditions are met. Can someone explain to me why the logic is not adding up?
How to unlink cells in Format Control
I am developing a survey in excel (because the questions are complicated and long and do not format well in e.g. MS Forms) and using option buttons to choose responses. Each question has 6 potential responses. In developer I have inserted a group box, into which I placed 6 option buttons. After formatting the buttons so that they snap to the excel grid I then linked them to a cell to make calculating responses easier. On-line advice then suggested that I could copy and paste these to each new question. However, by doing this, I am only able to choose 1 option as they are ALL linked to the same cell. How do I unlink each group box of 6 option buttons so that I can link each group individually to a different cell for each question? Or - do I have to create a group box and option boxes from scratch for each question set? I have removed the questions for simplicity of view (note that there are 6 in Q1 and Q2 not visible) and highlighted the linked cell from Q1. As you can see - for Q5 this has given an answer of 26 (the 26th option button) rather than 2 (the 2nd button in Q5)Format Data Labels - Value from Cells
I have a spreadsheet (below) that I wish to show in two different ways: The actual numbers in each of the cells Domestic, Overseas, EU, and Non-EU as shown. The percentage values as shown in the %age domestic, %age overseas, etc.. Using the Format Data Labels and selecting Value From Cells, I can do this for any 2 of the 4 columns. However, when I try to select Value From Cells from the third and/or fourth column, nothing appears in the bar chart - it's completely blank (apart from the background colour.) I have uploaded the failing sheet, which can be downloaded by https://c3a-cyprus.org/test-work.xlsx. I'd appreciate any thoughts TIA NigelFormula result not showing in cell
Attached is my code and the formula result showing 50%. But in the cell where the formula is located, it displays a 0%. I have tried formatting the cell to be a number, percentage, and everything else, yet it still does not put the formula result in properly. Am I missing something?
