How to filter visible cells by formula after applying filter to a dataset.
I have a dataset from A1:B11 (in real case many more). I apply a filter on dataset, for example filter data for Retailer1 and Retailer3. I want on a separate sheet to filter these visible cells using formula (not VBA). Preferably using a generic LAMBDA function like =FILTERVISIBLE(A2:B11). Any thought or idea to achieve it?Solved68Views0likes6CommentsSection Headers and Footers - 'Same as previous..'
Hi All Just seeing if anyone has a workaround for section headers and footers issue i'm having.... I have a document that multiple sections, each section has a 'Different First Page Header/Footer' as there are different header images for each section. The footer is pretty standard across the document - page numbers and specific document info... My document has..... (for example) Section 1: First Page Header/Footer (page 1) Section 1: (pages, 2, 3, 4, 5) Section 2: First Page Header/Footer (page 6) Section 2: (pages 7, 8, 9,10) and so on.... If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2 First Page' footer (page 6) it takes the footer text from 'Section 1 First Page', rather than Section 1: Page 5 If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2: Page 7' footer, it takes text from Section 1: Page 2, rather than Section 2: First Page: page 6 Is there any way of just making the footer continuous across the whole document? without changing the header which is different for each section.?? At the moment i'm having to edit each footer for each section which can be tiresome at best. Anyway, hope that makes sence Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello, I have deleted an Excel file from a SharePoint folder that I don't need anymore. Now, when I try to open Excel 365 from 'Open in new window' in Teams, I don't get to the usual landing page with recent files, options for a new file, etc. but just an error message: 'Sorry, this file has been deleted or moved', referring to the file that I have indeed deleted. I can access the usual landing page if it's in the Excel 365 window embedded in Teams, but opening the app in a new window is no longer possible. Why would the landing page for opening an app in a new window not be the normal landing page, but just an error message, with no option to open another file, seems counter-intuitive. Does anyone have a solution? Best regards, MJSolved25Views0likes2CommentsConditional formatting across sheets
I have a sheet which manages the works of multiple budgets. One sheet provides an overview of the budget and the next show the various schemes attributed to the numerous budget codes. Currently I have to flip back and forth to see whether the budgets have available monies before progressing a scheme but with a high number of jobs each day this can be quite time consuming. I would like a formula to format the budget name cell in the second sheet (B:B) when the value in the available budget column (J:J) relative to the specific budget name (B:B) both in the first sheet, is showing as a negative figure.Solved65Views1like2CommentsMovement in spreadsheet as form after enter
When using an Excel spreadsheet as a form, is there a way to move from one cell location directly to another cell location after pressing enter in the first cell? What I want to do is have the user enter the width in cell B7, hit enter, and have B9 become the "active" cell, then enter the length in B9, hit enter, and have B11 become the "active" cell, so on and so forth. Essentially I want to skip from one input cell to another without having to go through all of the rows. Not all "moves" from one cell to another would be exactly two rows down, other locations in the spreadsheet would require moves of 3 or 4 rows to get to the next "active" cell. All of my moves would be in the same column though. Thanks to all who look at this.Solved54Views0likes2CommentsDrawing data from multiple spreadsheets
Hi, So I have multiple spreadsheets with animal numbers and their weights I want to combine it on one spreadsheet The problem is that not all the animal numbers are on all the tabs, so I need a calculation that will "skip over" the one's not there. So for example this sheet (28 October) there are animals without tags and we gave them numbers 0.1-0.3, and then below that you'll see that 24004 wasn't weighed on that day so I don't want the formula on the final sheet to bomb out. If there's some way to do this process faster than what I'm doing currently - one by one = and then selecting the tab and the corresponding weight and animal number. Please and thanks so much!Solved78Views0likes1CommentCustom Sparkline Formula
I am in the process of moving to Excel from Google sheets. I am trying to build a project sheet and add a formula that will provide a "sparkline" for quick reference of the projected start and end dates, and then based on the status of the task (not started, in progress or complete) and today's date in relation to the start and end dates of the task, change color (Green, yellow, red, etc). Here is the formula I use in Google Sheets, but I cannot get it to work in Excel. =SPARKLINE(if(OR(today()<D5,today()>E5),{int(D5)-int($D$2),if(D5=E5,1,int(E5)-int(D5))},{int(D5)-int($D$2),today()-int(D5),1,int(E5)-today()}),{"charttype","bar";"color1","white";"color2",if(G5="Complete","grey",if(today()>E5,"red",if(AND(today()>D5,today()<E5,G5="Not Started Yet"),"darkred",if(AND(today()>D5,today()<E5),"orange",if(G5="In Progress","orange",)))));"max",int($E$2)-int($D$2)}) In this formula, Column D represents the start date and Column E represents the specific task end date. D2 and E2 represent the Project start and end date. Any Advice?Solved34Views0likes2Commentsmax corresponding to a value which may be in 1 or multiple sets

Greetings. Is there a way to insert a column between two columns and have the column widths adjust automatically? For instance, Column A is 20 wide and Column B is 60 wide and Column C is 30 wide. If I insert a new column between A & B, I want the New column to be the default width, the new Column C (which was B) to maintain its width of 60, not change to 30. In other words, is there a way to have column widths shift with their columns?Solved45Views0likes2CommentsInvited to external group - add to Outlook 365

Having a strange issue with one of our users when using Microsoft 365 Apps on a Windows 11 system. The original behavior reported was when he was trying to save a document to OneDrive. He gets a processing box but it never completes and the app freezes. Then he noticed if you just did a Save As from any of the Office Apps you get the blank page and the app freezes. Sometimes a reboot resolves the issue but only for a short time. Here are some items we have tried to this point: Have tried pausing synching in OneDrive repairing office 365 Reinstalling office 365 Saved to downloads > Can reopen document but when trying to save as again the page is blank. Will either have to force close in task manager or let it sit until "waiting for another application to complete an OLE action" then closing Pausing auto save to cloud in word/outlook/excel Disconnecting the OneDrive sync and re-connecting seem to work at first but after an hour or so we saw the same behavior. We decided to set him up on a brand new system and after we set things up the issue followed. We are seeing the same behavior on the new system. One item of note is we have a third laptop which has an old version of Office using the ODT installer which is working fine with his account. The other two laptops that are failing have the latest Office 365 software downloaded from the portal. Not sure if this is an issue on the backend with his account or some other type of issue. Just wanted to see if anyone has ran into this issue before. Thanks.Solvedvlookup, then sumif
Hello. I am not sure if what I am asking is possible. But here goes: It is possible to incorporate a vlookup or match in my formula, whereby it first looks up what is column B, then as a result of a match, it sums up column C, then the rest of my formula. In my current formula, it still feels "manual", in that I have to select individual cells in column C - and this is too time consuming as I have thousands of rows. Here is my current formula: (C2/SUM(C$2,C$6,C$10))*(SUMIFS($J$2:$J$17,$H$2:$H$17,$B2))Solved52Views0likes1CommentCalculate Days in between Dates
Hey, So I have a create date and a end date and I want to calculate the days in between those days, NOT counting the start date and weekends and the formula I am using is giving me the incorrect days: It's giving me -2 when the correct days should be 0.

Any advice on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.Solved59Views0likes1CommentConditional Formatting multi rule help!
Hi all, I've asked a very similar question to this before, but the helpful answers I got previously now don't seem to work for my spreadsheet. Please could someone talk me through how do this: Below is a spreadsheet we use to tell us when a patients prescription has come into the clinic. We manually put this data in. I need a set of rules as follows if possible: If there is a date in the 'Date of Injection appointment' cell (in this case F13) and there isn't anything in the 'Prescription received in clinic' cell (in this case O13) then I would need the patient name cell (in this case D13) to turn a different colour depending how close the date of injection is. Does that make any sense?! So if the date of injection (F13) is less than 4 days from today and cell O13 is empty it needs to be filled red, if cell F13 is less than 6 days from today filled yellow and if cell F13 is more than 8 days from today then filled white. I'd really appreciate someone's help please. I'm losing my mind! Thank you in advanceSolved107Views0likes4CommentsLegend setting in Excel charts - possible to set default to go to top of chart
