Conditional 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.Solved64Views1like2CommentsMovement 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.Solved50Views0likes2CommentsDrawing 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))Solved51Views0likes1CommentCalculate 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. You can't see it, but the L6-L34 are the holidays, which would be 7/4/2023. 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

Hi everyone, i am needing help pulling data from one sheet to another. The "DATA" tab is a bunch of data that is pulled from a Microsoft forms survey and i copy and paste it in the sheet. Once i copy and past the data i want all the other sheets to pull this data into its perspective tab.

So MRD districts module is column I, SLRD districts module is Column J, SBRD districts module is column K and so on. What i would is when data is pasted i want MRD ABC123 to pull the data from the "DATA" sheet onto this tab but it has to meet the 2 criterias. 1st criteria for the "MRD ABC123" tab is the Job Code in Column F on the "DATA" tab has to match ABC123 and the District column G in the "DATA" tab has to match MRD and then pull that data from the row on the "DATA" tab into the perspective columns on the "MRD ABC123" tab. Im just looking for a formula that will work for each column on the "MRD ABC123" tab to pull the data from the "DATA" tab. i have tried Index Match, Xlookup, and Filter functions but i know im doing something wrong.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out which formula (if any) to use in my workbook to make it more automated. I am needing to have a formula in worksheet 4, that will go to worksheet 1, locate the word "Thursday" in column B and return the corresponding date listed in column A. For more context, worksheet 1 has information for daily testing and worksheet 4 is a report that requires specific information for Thursdays only. I've been able to automate everything except for pulling the dates from worksheet 1. I've tried VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, IF, IFS and I just can't figure it out, as well as spending many hours trying to research which formula(s) to use. Please let me know if more information is needed.Solved124Views1like4CommentsProblems sharing files with users outside Tenant
An additional Sign In window appears for external users with whom we share files or folders through OneDrive and/or SharePoint. The window for entering the email appears (to validate that it's the intended recipient), but before entering the verification code, the Organization Sign In window appears. This sometimes requests a password, which can cause issues or even prevent users from sharing these folders with external users. Authentication flow example: Normally, step 2 is followed by step 4, but in my case, it's taking me to step 3 where I have to re-enter the email address I'd already entered in step 2. This isn't normal. In this case, there's no major problem with this email because it then asks for the verification code, and I log in without a problem. But for example, when I tried another email address, also from Gmail, it asks for a password to authenticate: Then I realized it's asking for my password because that email is associated with my GitHub account, and it's trying to authenticate with a password. However, this flow is incorrect because for authentication to SharePoint files shared with external users of the Tenant, it should only ask for the username and verification code. The fact that it asks me to enter my email twice, as in step 3 of each example, and that it occasionally asks me for a password, is incorrect in the flow, and I don't know how to change that.Solved69Views0likes1Comment
