Data Reconciliation Assistance Needed – Time Range & Sum Matching
I have two sets of data that need to be reconciled. Specifically, I’m trying to identify which combinations of numbers from these datasets can sum up to a specific target value. Additionally, the reconciliation should only consider entries that fall within a defined time range—from approximately 8:00 AM on one day to 10:00 PM the following day. I’ve tried using Solver and Goal Seek, but the results don’t seem accurate. I also attempted using Microsoft Copilot, but the outcome still appears incorrect. Could you assist with identifying or generating the correct combinations based on the criteria above?Welcome to the Excel Community

Hi, folks. I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet that contains links from consecutive cells to consecutive cells in another worksheet that are separated by 5 intervening cells. I'll call the original consecutive spreadsheet "Orig" (for original). So, I know that if I put "='Orig'!A3" in cell B3 and then copy that down, it will update the relative formula consecutively, i.e. B3='Orig'!A3, B4='Orig'!A4, B5='Orig'!A5, B6='Orig'!A6.... that much I get. What I need to do is find a way to do the same thing, but to increase the resulting link.....so that if I copied the formula down column B I would get: B3='Orig'!A3, B8=Orig'!A4, B13='Orig'!A6', etc so that the new worksheet is moving down 5 cells relative to the Orig sheet consecutive order. I've read where someone used a formula using the INDIRECT function but that's beyond my beginner level. Many thanks, and merry Xmas to all!
Can't print this document! Print preview not matching Page Layout or Page Break Preview
I'm trying to "print" this to PDF, but can't get all my tables and graphs to fit nicely when printing This is my view in Page Break Preview This is my view in Page Layout This is the Print Preview screen, I think when it's scaling the rows to fit on one page, it's not scaling the graphs as well so they keep moving around. How do I make this look nice when I print? I have 16 tables with graphs plus a footer, so they aren't going to fit all on one page, that's why I set it to print over 4 pages.
name manager rejecting lambdas
I tried pasting a lambda in name manager but excel refused. I belive that it's because either it is too long (which it isnt) or it has too many optional parameters (8). Anyone knows why name manager will reject to paste my lambda? These are the parameters: =LAMBDA(array,slice1,[index1],[return_index_slice2],[index2],[return_index],[if_not_found],[logic],[headers],[function],LET(...))
Find average with checkboxes
Hello, I’m not fluent in Excel but I do alright. Currently I am having a real hard time figuring this out. I’m trying to pull averages from different cells to one cell but based on if a box is checked. Backstory: I track times in a task and get the averages for each person but also the store average. As some people are no longer in those roles or now doing part time, I want the store average to only show the data from the people I choose. Ex: cell I3 is the store average. I only want it to account for the data in cell C11 if the checkbox in D10 is checked. I only want it to account for the data in cell G11 if the checkbox in cell H10 is checked. And so on and so forth. I have tried: =IF(D10,C11,IF(H10,G11)) =AVERAGEIF(D10,”TRUE”,C11(H10,”TRUE”,G11)) =AVERAGEIF(D10,”TRUE”’C11)&AVERAGEIF(H10’TRUE”,G11) but none of those have worked.
Using a combination of IF Statement and LET function
Hello, I am trying to do the following from the attached link: If the Fiscal period date in Col B (of the SORTED_INV_CN worksheet) is greater than/equal to Dec 2025 or less than April 2025 then type in "Ignore" Else, use the LET function to lookup by Invoice# in the LookUp-Comment worksheet However, the function in Cell D2 of the SORTED_INV_CN worksheet is returning "Ignore" for all the rows in Column D. At the end of the day, I am required to evaluate the xlookup function for date range less than Dec 2025 and April 2025. I am partial to the LET function as it reduces the need to add a 2nd xlookup formula. The LET function works without the parent IF function but is returning erroneous data as soon as I incorporate the IF(OR( function. Here is the link to the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oiWWXXOSorZuB5Q4vzgdHO_kyRkvGE3L/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103354753371375324640&rtpof=true&sd=true I think the problem lies in the way the date format is being interpreted between the evaluation cells. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thank you. Regards, Shams.Sheet View Issues with Excel Web Browser
Hi, I have created a Excel document for my department to use, I tried Excel App but due to the size of the Spreadsheet it kept freezing, as a result I switched it to use Excel through Web Browser. The sheet no longer freezes which is good. I do have another issue though.....I wanted multiple users to be able to access, edit the sheet at the same time so I did some research and Sheet View seemed to be the way forward. I created a Sheet view for each employee to use so when you go to View, Sheet View and click on the relevant person their work is updated, saved etc and this shouldn't affect others view. This is working in terms of people editing. The main issue now though is that despite following advice sometimes when someone changes a filter on their own sheet view it seems to change others view. My understanding was you can hide, filter etc within your own Sheet view but this doesn't seem to be the case.......PLEASE HELP!!!! My excel and computer Skills aren't excellent to please any simple advise would be great.Cell Color Change
Hello, Sorry if this has been answered or is super easy but I couldn't find how to do this so I figured I would ask here. Is there a way for me to have a cell be blue normally, but turn green when clicked, and then back to blue when clicked again? I am using a sheet to track weekly check-ins and want to have an easy at a glance way to tell if I did them by color, and set it with a single click. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
