Nested IF function with a checkbox
Hello Excel Gurus, I have a nested IF function that is based on comparing dates and whether a checkbox is selected. It's an 18 month outlook and if the checkbox is selected it should display "O/H" otherwise a "1." It functions perfectly if there is a 1 in all 18 blocks, but if it only has a 1 in some of the blocks, the "O/H" doesn't work properly. I'm trying to put a picture in to better clarify and show how the formula is setup. Thanks for any assistance everyone provides.SolvedGregPenAug 23, 2026Tin Contributor203Views0likes15CommentsUsing Data Analysis tool pak to create histograms

My goal is to copy a range of cells and have all the formulas in the copied range of cells pasted into a new location keeping the original formula references. I.e, I will have two identical data in two sets of cells on a sheet. E.g. one of the cells in the range to be copied might have a formula similar to, "='sheet 2'!K75". I wish for that formula to be pasted into the destination cells and be "='sheet 2'!K75".Tim_ParisiAug 20, 2026Copper Contributor42KViews0likes6CommentsSorting column groups having shared rows?
I recently organized a spreadsheet representing participants in a Ham Radio group. Though there is a base group of regular participants, we often have new folks joining us. I like to maintain a list which holds everyone's Call-Signs, first name, and state, so I can easily recognize infrequent members. I like to see the list (currently ~100, sample attached) within one screen, sorted by Call, so I arranged the data in four basic columns (Call, Name, State, Notes), then repeated the column group across the screen page. The problem is that as new members are added, their information cannot simply be added at the end of the list, then resorted. I'm trying to avoid having to move a long list up/down or typing in a Call and using the "LOOKUP" feature to get the member's info. Is there a way Excel can SORT BY "Call" only a group of columns, in this case four columns, without affecting data sharing the same row? Doing so would allow me to always have a Call sorted list, featuring four 4-column data sets, shown on one screen. I appreciate your help in advance.....I know I'll have other issues as our member list grows beyond one screen full!!!ViragoAug 20, 2026Copper Contributor198Views0likes8Commentslinear interpolation of sparse data
I have several lists of data, each sampled at different varying intervals. I want to merge them into an average set of readings, but since they are each missing data and have readings at different times, I need to first fill-in all missing data using some (linear) interpolation. For example; I want to merge all three months of data into one average month summary: 1-Mar 0 3-Mar 2 10-Mar 8 14-Mar 11 17-Mar 14 21-Mar 14 24-Mar 19 28-Mar 22 31-Mar 33 1-Apr 0 1-Apr 0 7-Apr 2 11-Apr 2 18-Apr 3 21-Apr 9 25-Apr 10 28-Apr 14 30-Apr 14 1-May 0 5-May 3 9-May 4 12-May 8 16-May 9 23-May 13 26-May 16 30-May 17 31-May 18 1-Jun 0 1-Jun 0 6-Jun 3 9-Jun 7 13-Jun 9 20-Jun 15 23-Jun 19 30-Jun 22Gregory GuthrieAug 19, 2026Tin Contributor716Views0likes2CommentsA problem: convert Arabic pdf file to Excel make strange letters

Using the Braille Alphabet lookup table provided: Part 1 - convert the given phrase from Braille to words. Part 2 - convert the given phrase from words to Braille. ✅ Solutions should be in the form of a single-cell formula. ✅ Generalized Lambda functions are welcome, provided the function definitions are included with your solution. ✅ Keep in mind, the "best" solution is not necessarily the shortest... Strive for conciseness, if you wish; just don't let your solutions be ordinary. 😉 Good luck and have fun!djclementsAug 18, 2026Silver Contributor406Views1like17CommentsExcel text box overlay- what is it, how to remove?
I have this box that has somehow been inserted into my table. There are underlying cells and I can actually scroll right under this box and also access the cell underneath it. And I can type about 140 characters into this box. Deleting surrounding rows or columns does not affect the box, so it doesn't appear to be correlated to a specific cell. There is no context sensitive help when in the box and almost all normal excel functions are greyed out when I'm in it. Any help is appreciated.prkammannAug 18, 2026Tin Contributor172KViews1like12CommentsEntering 24hr time values
Hi, My user wants to be able to enter 24hr times as "0900", "1245" without any other punctuation and have them convert to (or at least, be interpreted as) valid 24hr times (e.g. 09:00, 12:45). I can't work out how to do this. Just setting the Cell number format to "hh:mm" doesn't do it: it requires the colon to be typed, otherwise it interprets the input bizarrely and only displays 00:00. I would appreciate any suggestions. Many thanks, ColinCHarrison1968Aug 18, 2026Copper Contributor6.8KViews0likes6CommentsWelcome to the Excel Community
