Help with data and visuals
I hope i can explain this right, i have data that shows 3 things: person, start date and end date: now i need excel to take this information and represent it as the following in the month tracker: It would look for the charts and figure out the timeline and add them to a row with the timeframe: example is Booy 15-0ct-25 to 23-oct-25 the char would go to the next one and add his information, I hope someone can help me.

I submitted a question a little while back asking how to delete cells with exactly 3 consonants. The response I had was a huge help, but now I'm faced with a similar problem: How do I sort words by consecutive consonants? And if that cannot be achieved, how can I instead delete cells from a sheet in which a word has 3 consecutive consonants?RahirosOct 25, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes1CommentExcel jumps to A1 when selecting a range on another sheet during VLOOKUP
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a strange issue in Excel and I’m hoping someone can help. Steps to reproduce the problem: Open a workbook with at least two sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). On Sheet1, start typing a VLOOKUP formula When selecting the table array range, switch to Sheet2 to select the range. Excel unexpectedly jumps the selection or view to cell A1 on Sheet2, losing the intended range selection.YPCOct 24, 2025Copper Contributor85Views0likes2CommentsExcel formula help - vertical and horizontal in same calculation
Hello, I have a set of data that contains resource names and their FTE effort per month. I'm trying to calculate their start month and end month in two cells but can't get my head around the correct formula. Here is an an example data set: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P 1 ID Employee Start Month End Month M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10 M11 M12 2 1 John ?? ?? 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0.5 0.5 0 0 0 3 2 Brian ?? ?? 1 1 1 1 0.5 0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 3 Alison ?? ?? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 1 1 1 1 The result I'm looking for is for John - Start M4, End M9; Brian - start M1, End M6; Alison - start M7, End M12 .. i.e. its linked to non-zero cells I have a formula using match/index that I found on the web that is getting the start date (example of John's row): =INDEX('!E$1:P$1, MATCH(TRUE, '!E2:P2<>0,0)) I can't however amend that formula to work for the end date. I'm more familiar with XLOOKUP than MATCH/INDEX and I'm assuming there is some embedded XLOOKUP (=XLOOKUP("1", A:A, XLOOKUP("<>0", <<second row>>, <<first row>>) - cant get this to work , that could work here, but its outside the limits of my abilities. Suggestions please?Solvedgrantwilliams275Oct 24, 2025Copper Contributor70Views0likes4CommentsTaking text from a multi-line cell and making each line its own row.
Hello, I have a sheet with several thousand lines that I pulled from my current system, and all of the data was exported into cells like this: What I would like to do is take each line and make that line its own row in the sheet. For example, the scooter would have its own row, the MWC have its own row, so on and so forth. Is there any way this is possible, or should I be looking to see if there is any other way I can export this data?lebertsOct 24, 2025Copper Contributor73Views0likes1CommentFormula help on IF function
Hi all, I have a very simple if formula, that says if cell v35 contains the word critical, give an answer of 4. =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(“Critical”, V35)), “4”, “1”) How would I extend this to say if it’s critical say 4, high 3, moderate 2, low 1? thanksDanielwood1985Oct 23, 2025Copper Contributor41Views0likes1Commentwhy is excel changing a formula in a locked and protected cell
I have quite a complex spreadsheet for use in my hobby of PBM - the spreadsheet includes an order form for players to submit instructions but with 1 player i am experiencing problems that I cannot fathom why it is happening Upon emailing my spreadsheet, one of the cells in a hidden and protected part of the form keeps changing, the formula changes for no obvious reason creating an error as it is then trying to bring in/read data from an invalid cell. This only happens with this 1 person, everyone else who receives the exact same spreadsheet has no issue, the formula does not change and the spreadsheet works as intended - just not for this one person. the cell is hidden and protected, the sheet is also password protected - it should not be possible for this cell to change but it does. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Both myself and the recipient of the spreadsheet run office 365 so there should be no issue with compatibility. as i say it is happening only to this one person, nobody else, and i do not understand why - looking for ideas on how to resolve this issue!!buzzwack1959Oct 23, 2025Copper Contributor57Views0likes3CommentsHow to find Comments in the Worksheet
