Want a formula result to update across Sheets?
I have figured out how to get a formula result to appear in multiple sheets. The formula for example that gets pasted into sheets references a result! I enter formula and (B5) is where the sum location of =sum(b1:b3) will be delivered' I create a new formula that will reference previous calculation label this in cell B7 =Aux!B5 I use =Aux!B5 where Aux is the sheet where all calculations take place and this result will want to appear in selected work sheets Then i select sheets (using Shift+ selected sheets) then in first sheet of selected sheets I select a location and paste V (value) i get the result across all selected tabs. Here is my question ! how do i get a location to update all worksheets with a value from a formula from sheet Aux? I want to be able to change the Value in Aux (sheet where all calculations occur), then have that new value appear where former locations were pasted the result. (this should put result in B22 Ex: i create a total =sum(B1:B3) (in A22 of the aux sheet ) that result i put in a new location with a new formula so new location ( B22) formula =aux!A22 It is this location that if i change a value in origional EX: b1 from 3 to 5 the result is updated in B22 but it will not update the sheets with =aux!B22 hope not to confusingCremeStoutJan 10, 2026Copper Contributor52Views0likes3CommentsExcel charts: revenue and margins over a time period
Hi all, I want a chart showing the development in revenue and margins over a period of three yrs. I want the revenue to be marked on the left hand x axis and margins to be marked on the right hand x axis (secondary axis). I can't quite get it to look the way I want. See the attached picture. What I want is for the margins (currently shown as lines across the three companies) to show as lines across each company over the time period. So basically one line across company A, one line across company B and one line across company C. Appreciate any help!

Hello, I would like to create a multi-tiered percentage-based bar chart based on the data found below (test data evidently). Column B and C add up to 100%, Column D and E add up to 100%, and lastly column F and G add up to 100%. I would like each set of variables to equate to 100% on the graph, as the source data is percentage based anyways, but all be organized in their own separate row on the graph underneath the employee name. I have included a diagram drawn in MS paint to portray the desired output (with an accompanying legend). Thanks in advance! Employee Name Number of Sales Made % Number of Sales Made from Other Competitors % Number of Calls Made % Number of Calls Made from Other Competitors % Number of Individual Employees % (always is 1) Number of competitor employees % John 28.57% 71.43% 30.00% 70.00% 16.67% 83.33% Stacy 41.67% 58.33% 38.71% 61.29% 20.00% 80.00% Richard 47.06% 52.94% 47.06% 52.94% 14.29% 85.71% Andy 42.31% 57.69% 40.48% 59.52% 10.00% 90.00%nkpJan 10, 2026Occasional Reader107Views0likes5CommentsWorksheet tabs to include date from a cell
Hello , I have a worksheet with four tabs. Cell H1 in both tabs 1 and three contains a date. I would like to include that date in the tab name in the following format: for Tab 1 "AR - as of (the date in H1)" and for Tab 3 "AP - as of (the date in H1)". The dates in the tabs would update whenever the date in cell H1 is updated. I am using Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, version 2510, Build 19328.20178. Thank you for your assistance.rbellmanJan 10, 2026Copper Contributor225Views0likes8CommentsPLEASE HELP ME. Excel Time Formatting Not Working?
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I created an excel workbook for tracking fitness workouts, I record the data such as weight lifted, number of reps, and rest times between sets. I formatted the cells so they express your rest times in terms of minutes and seconds (I used the custom "H:MM" format of time option). But whenever I record the amount of time you spend during cardio exercise, the formatting gets COMPLETELY SCREWED UP because when I type 28:44 (28 minutes and 44 seconds) of cardio duration, it instantly turns into 4:44 (4 minutes and 44 seconds). But if I type 20:00 (20 minutes) of cardio duration, it stays as 20:00 (20 minutes) and it never turns into something else. Why do some of the numbers like 28:44 transform into a complete different number when I enter them? I uploaded 3 screenshots below to better express what I mean.

Hello. I have grouped some rows together, consisting of a top row, with a number of sub rows. The top row is the sum of the sub-rows. At present the icon to expand /close the sub rows is at the bottom. Is there anyway to have this icon at the top row? Many thanksAlex HammersteinJan 09, 2026Copper Contributor94Views0likes3CommentsTop n vs. Others in Excel
Hi all, I'm seeking some help because I'm kind of new to the more intermediate stuff in Excel. I have an Excel table with the following columns: Subcategory in column A, Brand in column B, Region in column C, Year in column D and Values Month in column E. I want to create a PivotTable and a Pivot line chart from this PivotTable that ranks the Top 5 Brands vs. Other Competitors by each region. For added context: There are 5 subcategories, 3 regions and 25 brands. Currently, I've tried grouping the remaining 20 brands as "Other Competitors" vs. the Top 5 brands within a selected region and possibly all regions (when no selection is made). I'm seeking a solution similar to this... Please mind the colours. I will sort those out later. But, the problem that I'm faced with is that upon selection of a region, the PivotTable won't update to the Top 5 brands of a selected region because they've already been grouped. How can I make this more dynamic so that I'm able to show The Top 5 brands vs. Others? Please help. EDIT: My operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit) and I use Excel 365 (Desktop version). For reference, I've attached a link to a sample file. https://1drv.ms/x/c/b2d878e32a062614/IQC1wcnwLICcQasOfnGcwKn0ASjpXp9xQ6rjnOP10Jal5cc?e=HaXEWd Thank you all once again.Anonymous29007Jan 09, 2026Copper Contributor75Views0likes2CommentsCalculate 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!SolvedvolunteersfplJan 09, 2026Copper Contributor401Views1like14CommentsRemove "Ghost" Excel sheet object from VBA
Hello, I am unable to remove these "Ghost" excel objects left behind after deleting the sheet. I have tried multiple methods that I found on the internet to remove these objects, but nothing works. The sheets are not hidden. The sheets do not existing. That is the "hard coded" name created when the file is created from copying the "CAD" or "CAD_Template". The "remove" button is grayed out. I tried basically everything CoPilot could tell me to remove this. This is what it looks like below. When I run the program, the program creates "CAD4" as the next hard coded name.SolvedjhammonsJan 09, 2026Copper Contributor726Views0likes4CommentsMove based on value VBA
I have what I hope to be a fairly easy to solve problem in my VBA code. I have a tab where each row is a different project and each project has a handful of tasks. When the project is complete, the entire row moves to a completed projects tab. My problem is that some of the formulas that make up the tasks update when moved and reference the incorrect cell. I am trying to copy/paste values before the row moves from one tab to the other to no avail. The formula that I am really trying to paste the value of is in column D. Could anyone help me out?
