I usedExcel 2013. I created a drop-down list that is based on an Excel Table via the Data Validation button on the Data ribbon. If I add or delete a row from the middle of the table, my associated drop-downs are updated automatically. However, if I inserta rowof dataat the very top or bottomof thelist (range), even though the table appears to have expanded,the drop-down list does not updateautomatically. The Auto Correct options "Include new rows and columns in table" and "Fill formulas in tables to create calculated columns" are checked.None of the sheets on my workbook are protected.63KViews0likes10Commentspre-1900 dates
I can find no help on how to tell Excel to properly format and calculate dates before 1900. I want to calculate age at death and have birth and death dates in columns. But Excel does not recognize March 30, 1894. It calls is YYYY = 3794. And subtracting death date from birth date returns "#VALUE!" How do I use the DATE(YYYY,MM,DD) function or format March 30, 1894 so Excel will understand and I can have it calculate the age at death correctly? TIA. Also I've seen #1 shown in Excel Help in different posts as BOTH Dec 31, 1899 AND as Jan 1, 1900. Which is it?61KViews0likes15CommentsChange month only in a column containing several rows of dates
Apologize if this has been solved previously. I am attempting to change the month only in a column of already entered dates in a column. For example I have 1/2/2018, 1/5/2018, 1/17/2018, 1/20/18 etc. and want to only change the month from Jan to Feb like this: 2/2/18, 2/5/2018 etc. Any ideas?Solved56KViews0likes14CommentsFormula or function for IF statement based on cell color
I don't know how to code in VBA but am trying to automate an if/then calculation based on cell color. As shown in the picture, if the colors of the cells in column B are the same as those in Column G across the row, I want to subtract the values in columns F and K in the same row to return the absolute value of the subtraction in column L. If the colors of the cells are different, I want to add the values in columns F and K and return the value in column L. I will have multiple tables of varying numbers of rows where I need to perform this operation. Any help is greatly appreciated.Solved1.6MViews2likes33CommentsCan you use AND / OR in an INDEX MATCH
Hi I have am array formula that looks like this: =INDEX('Rebate report'!A:A,MATCH(1,('Rebate report'!A:A=A2)*('Rebate report'!B:B=B2)*('Rebate report'!C:C=C2),0),1) which works. I want to add in an OR function for the name in column A. I will add this name in Column T. In other words the match is correct if column A or T match A2 and COL B=B2 and COL C=C2 also match the criteria I tried using the + to add T criteria but gave me a 0 =INDEX('Rebate report'!A:A,MATCH(1,('Rebate report'!A:A=A2)*('Rebate report'!B:B=B2)*('Rebate report'!C:C=C2)+('Rebate report'!A:A=T2),0),1) Thanks for the help!134KViews0likes61CommentsMultiplying time (for wage calculations).
Hi. I’m new to the community (and a bit of an excel amateur). Just joined as I have an issue which I think is quite simple, but to which I can’t find a solution. Basically I’m trying to add up hours worked, and then multiply those hours by an hourly wage. In order to make Excel tot-up the hours worked beyond 24, I’m using the custom cell format, [h]:mm. This is giving me the correct total hours and minutes worked (minutes are being rounded to the nearest 15 prior to input). However, when I try to multiply this total by the hourly wage, I’m getting an inaccurate (way too low) result. So, even though excel is displaying the time correctly, it is still considering it as a fraction. After some online research, I managed to get the right result by using the formula =TEXT(V5, "[h]")*100. V5 is the cell with the total hours worked, in [h]:mm format, and 100 is the hourly wage. However, this is only giving me the correct result to the nearest hour. So for example if the total (in V5) is 10:00 (ten hours), then the wage total is being correctly given as 1000. However, it the total is 10:30 (ten and a half hours), the total is still being given as 1000, instead of 1050. I assumed this is because I am using just “[h]” in the formula, but if I try using “[h]:mm” (so, =TEXT(V5, "[h]:mm")*100), then I am just getting the same fraction-based incorrect result (with 10 and a half hours and 100 per hour, the result is coming out at 43.75, not 1050). So, now I’m stuck. I’ve tried several things but haven’t found a solution. I imagine there’s a simple way to solve this that I’m just unaware of. Apologies for the long explanation, and thanks in advance for your advice. SimonSolved115KViews1like10CommentsHow do I make excel change the colour of a cell depending on a different cells date?
