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?
Excel formula to determine missing numbers
In column S of Sheet 1 I have a list of case numbers. They all start with the year that the incident occurred &, followed by the incident number. On Sheet 2, I want to be able to quickly determine if any numbers in the sequence have been skipped. For instance, 2024-033, 2025-001, 2025-003, etc. There are never a set number of cases per year, so it wouldn't matter whether there should've been a 2024-034 after #33, but I would need to be able to readily see that 2025-002 was never input. If it matters, each year begins with '001' and not '000' and I'm working with Excel 2016.
EN-GB locale number formatting
Number format string "#, # # 0 ;[Color3] (#, # # 0 )" is not working when Excel is installed with en-gb locale. Any other language works but en-gb fails to parse "Color" - and expects it to be "Colour". Why is excel not following standard openXML in case of en-gb? How does one solve this portability issue when the workbook is generated on the server?Range showing (table array) in the wrong place
I’ve got a VLOOKUP pulling data from another excel file (sources.xlsx) the formula works as intended it's pulling the right department names based on id number, but here’s the weird part, when I double click the formula to check it, the table array ($A$2:$B$23) gets highlighted in the current sheet instead of the actual source sheet (which is in the other file). The data is still coming in correctly, just excel is showing the range in the wrong place. Is this normal when referencing another workbook? I never experience this before, and I am not sure if it new thing or a bug Example
Data Validation Conditional Formating
I have a shared spreadsheet where coordinators enter staff codes for particular tasks they would like them to do (it's not a timesheet, just a future planning tool). I have set up a data validation to warn them if they enter a staff code that is not in the list, however if someone leaves after their code has been entered, the validation doesn't re-check so the now-invalid code remains happily in the spreadsheet. I need the cells to highlight if the staff code is not in the list. Does anyone know if this is possible? Currently, I need to search for each code as someone leaves and manually remove them from the spreadsheet and then ask coordinators to re-enter new values. It would be great if it would just flag them in red when I remove them from the staffing list and coordinators can see if there is (now) an error that needs fixing. Not sure how to attach a file as it's not 'link'able with a URL, so here's screen shots:
