Logical test for same text string existing anywhere in both ranges.
Hello. I have a Table of film credits, including the names of directors and writers. Some films have multiple directors (up to 3 individuals), whose names are in columns F, G and H. The writers' names (up to 4 individuals) are in columns J, K, L and M. I want to test for whether the film has a writer/director - e.g, one of the director names in the range F:H is the same as one of the writer names in the range J:M. I have created a column O to contain a formula with a logical test returning Y if there is a writer/director present. I tried =IF(Table4[@[Wri1]:[Wri4]]=[@Dir1]:[Dir3],Y,N) but this returns a spill error. Can anyone help?ExtopiaDec 18, 2025Occasional Reader56Views1like5CommentsCalculate overlapping hours
Hello, I need to report how many hours a staff member supervised one or more volunteers. For a very simplified example, Volunteer Name Date Start Time End Time Supervisor Fred 1/1/26 1:00pm 3:00pm Lucy Ethel 1/1/26 2:30pm 4:30pm Lucy Here 4 volunteer hours were served, but because there was a 30 minute overlap, Lucy only supervised for 3.5 hours. Is there a way to get Excel to calculate that? To say: look at all the entries with matching date and matching supervisor, and add up non-overlapping time. I'm not expecting this to be possible, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks!SolvedvolunteersfplDec 18, 2025Copper Contributor80Views1like7CommentsExcel formula help... again!
I have different tabs for each month. I need the total of the last day of month to start in the opening balance on the next tab in the beginning of the month. but some months obviously has 30 days and some 31 and then there's Feb too doing whatever it wants ;-) the total here in AH has to be the last day of the month - here it's the 30th and 379 the opening balance for the next tab (yellow block) has to be whatever the previous month's closing total was. I don't know how to create a formula to choose the last day's total and pull it to the new sheet in the opening balance.

I have a table with everyone's availability. Column A is names, Column B is Monday morning, Column C is Monday afternoon and so on. In another cell, I want a drop down list of names if they're available at that time. If( [Monday Morning] = "Available") put it in the drop down list and then do that for the whole week.

Hello. I creating somthing in excel with tables. These tables has thier own name, and can be dynamic or not. Any way. I using list in cell to select each data from a tables column. For that I created names with the content of a column. Unfortunatly i had to make a kind of name which is contain atleast 2 columns. These can grow dynamicly. So I think a plus helper tabel is not the right sollution for that. I think about 3 kind of solution. 1. =UNIQUE( VSTACK( INDEX(Tabla1[#Data];0;MATCH("Type_name";Tabla1[#Headers];0)); INDEX(Tabla2[#Data];0;MATCH("Column_name";Tabla2[#Headers];0)) ) output #name? 2. =UNIQUE(VSTACK(Lista_A; Lista_B)) lista_A as a name output #name? 3. created a helper table with the existing names. Created another name and use the table in it. output was the elements contained by the helper tabel, and the lista_A and lista_B tables each dedicated column. So How can i create list for a cell or cells from two column which are dynamicly growing, without a user needs to touch the core modell?

I'm starting a new topic but do want to refer to PeterBartholomew1 post on accumulators here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/ways-of-performing-accumulation-with-dynamic-arrays/m-p/2329035 This post was in 2021 and things have or may have moved on since then and I'm wondering if there is an easier way to achieve the following. The Corkscrew. I have seen a number of addins and other 5G functions which do far more than I want. I'm basically looking for a way to break the circularity in a corkscrew and it seems that if I can calculate the top row ie typically the opening balance without referring to the closing balance then all would be good. To add complexity I’m trying to fuse the actuals and forecasts in this single function. I have flags to determine the actuals and can use NOT actuals to get the forecasts (same flags) and can pic up the actual opening balance from the source data easily. As I will calculate all time periods for both I can then just add them (as actuals will be multiplied by the Actual flag and thus zero for forecast periods and vice versa for the forecasts. So I just need to calculate the forecast period which will be the same for the entire array block. The key is. getting the previous value. (for the inflows and outflows as they are already calculated I can just shift their arrays forward I col but adding a column in front to get the previous value so that is easy. I can then get the closing balance by adding the inflows and outflows that would fall in the middle of the corkscrew to this previous value to simulate an opening balance. The inflows and outflows can then be added easily and the closing balance simply summed. So all the clever work would go in the opening balance. The added complexity I have is that I am doing a multi row version. ie there are ‘currently’ 3 entities all with opening balances, all with inflows and outflows and closing balances. I want to calculate these in blocks of these entities – 1 row per entity but in a single dynamic array. But the corkscrew will be made up of 4 dynamic arrays – opening bal, inflows, outflows and closing. If someone has a better logic here then do let me know. I saw Jeff Robsons one from a few years back using sumifs for the middle bit. But again, I want to do these in separate blocks which does add a layer of complexity. The reason is that I can ( have) modelled with multiple entities together rather than separately which means one just needs to extend the blocks (VBA to the rescue as there will be a good number of them) as required and inputs can just be assigned to the respective entity (often locations around the world might just be a tiny rep office with hardly anything going on so no need for a fully blown model but can be detailed separately. I also have the ability to enable or disable entities so they are included or excluded from the calcs. SO back to the problem, Model attached. Blue cells mark the dynamic array function for the block. The inflows and outflows will come from other dynamic arrays. But this idea means that one can expand the middle if the top/bottom are taken care of with regard to the circularity. I’m trying to get something easy to implement ideally in a single function (with or without LET)SolvedJames_BuistDec 18, 2025Brass Contributor2KViews0likes33CommentsViva Engage - Photos Not Loading in Conversations

i am 81 yoa and my lady is sickly. Among other things she has type 1 diabetes and heart problems. I am building a worksheet containing foods and their calories and carbs. i want to blank out input a column when she has completed her food menu and is done inputting. How can I do that? I also want to protect all columns in the worksheet except the one for her input. I am using Microsoft Professional + 2013 Office on a pc via wireless in Windows 11. can anyone help me? I would be happy to attach a copy of the worksheet but i don't see how! Thanks in advance!CarlK105Dec 17, 2025Copper Contributor469Views1like3Comments
