Just recently, the data validation I have set up for my worksheets no longer shows a dropdown list or arrow in the cell for my users. You can start typing something in, and it will give options close to what you've typed in if it's on the list but it no longer gives a dropdown list to choose from. I do have the appropriate boxes checked to allow for that and it's still not working. It's incredibly frustrating to find more and more things no longer work properly since the most recent update. Has anyone else had an issue with this?Solved117KViews0likes8CommentsCalculate 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!Solved145Views1like10CommentsWorksheet 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.90Views0likes4CommentsName Manager using for create name which is contain atleast two name.
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? Best Balázs85Views1like3CommentsPivotBy or GroupBy
Dear Experts, Quick question, I have a data like this from Column A~F, and want to make a data like in Col J~L So, I want a summary , that for the slot0 && txnum==1, what are the unique values of numOfPrb, but in case of slot5, we have more than one unique value and it spills, could you please suggest a solution for this, I tried Filter function etc.. may be there's solution within , or if Groupby or Pivotby can help here.

Hi all! I'm looking for any formula or power query to calculate a total time duration within a day, given the start date, start time, end date, end time. Most of the dates will equal the same but there are some with the end date being the next day. I'd like to be able to exclude any overlaps as well. Currently, I have a large embedded IF formula: =IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$H5,$P4>=$H5,$P4<$P5,$H4<$H3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4>$G3,$H4<$H3,$P4<$P3,$H4<$P3,$P4<$P5),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4>$H3,$H4>=$P3,$P4>$P3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4=$P4),0,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4<=$P3),0,IF(AND($G4<$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H4),($P4+1)-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4<$G5,$O4<$O5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4>$G3,$H4>$H3,$P4>$P3,$H4>$P3),$P4-$H4,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$G4<$O5,$P4>$P3,$P4>$H5,$H4>$H3,$H4<$H5),0,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4=$G5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H5,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5,$P2>$P3),$P4-$P2,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$H4<$H5,$P4<$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$H4<$H5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$P3,$P4>$P5),$P4-$P3,IF(AND($G4=$O4,$O4=$G5,$H4<$P3,$P4>$H5,$P4>$P3),$P4-$P2,IF(AND(ISBLANK($O4),ISBLANK($P4)),0,IF(AND($G4<$O4,$H4<$P3,$P4<$H4),($P4+1)-$P3)))))))))))))))) This seems to work for the most part but there are a few that I just can't get. I also pulled up my query and started to enter in the time durations manually and it couldnt come up with anything automatic for me. There must be an easier way for me to do this other than trying to create an IF formula for each answer that turns up incorrect. I have a screen shot below.146Views0likes4CommentsNon-Consecutive Cell Referencing
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!115Views0likes13CommentsReturn of the Corkscrew with Spilled Arrays
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)Solved2.1KViews0likes34CommentsSumifs with Custom Excel Data type from power Query and using dot notation

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.6Views0likes0Comments
