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!Solved295Views1like13Commentsname manager rejecting lambdas
I tried pasting a lambda in name manager but excel refused. I belive that it's because either it is too long (which it isnt) or it has too many optional parameters (8). Anyone knows why name manager will reject to paste my lambda? These are the parameters: =LAMBDA(array,slice1,[index1],[return_index_slice2],[index2],[return_index],[if_not_found],[logic],[headers],[function],LET(...))64Views1like3CommentsNon-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!Solved223Views0likes16CommentsUsing a combination of IF Statement and LET function
Hello, I am trying to do the following from the attached link: If the Fiscal period date in Col B (of the SORTED_INV_CN worksheet) is greater than/equal to Dec 2025 or less than April 2025 then type in "Ignore" Else, use the LET function to lookup by Invoice# in the LookUp-Comment worksheet However, the function in Cell D2 of the SORTED_INV_CN worksheet is returning "Ignore" for all the rows in Column D. At the end of the day, I am required to evaluate the xlookup function for date range less than Dec 2025 and April 2025. I am partial to the LET function as it reduces the need to add a 2nd xlookup formula. The LET function works without the parent IF function but is returning erroneous data as soon as I incorporate the IF(OR( function. Here is the link to the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oiWWXXOSorZuB5Q4vzgdHO_kyRkvGE3L/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103354753371375324640&rtpof=true&sd=true I think the problem lies in the way the date format is being interpreted between the evaluation cells. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thank you. Regards, Shams.40Views0likes2CommentsSheet View Issues with Excel Web Browser
Hi, I have created a Excel document for my department to use, I tried Excel App but due to the size of the Spreadsheet it kept freezing, as a result I switched it to use Excel through Web Browser. The sheet no longer freezes which is good. I do have another issue though.....I wanted multiple users to be able to access, edit the sheet at the same time so I did some research and Sheet View seemed to be the way forward. I created a Sheet view for each employee to use so when you go to View, Sheet View and click on the relevant person their work is updated, saved etc and this shouldn't affect others view. This is working in terms of people editing. The main issue now though is that despite following advice sometimes when someone changes a filter on their own sheet view it seems to change others view. My understanding was you can hide, filter etc within your own Sheet view but this doesn't seem to be the case.......PLEASE HELP!!!! My excel and computer Skills aren't excellent to please any simple advise would be great.207Views0likes4CommentsMy Percentage of total sales is not 100 - Why?

Hello, I have the following file that has the Date field coming from a Red Hat Linux environment and comes into excel as a.csv extension. I saved the file as an excel workbook and am trying to evaluate a IF statement where the Date will be ignored if the date in the cell is >Nov 2025 or <April 2025. Even though I have changed the format in Column A to be a Date and custom format of "mmm yy" it is still not evaluating properly. I have gone ahead and created a test worksheet in this workbook and typed in sample dates and this time the IF statement evaluates correctly. How do I then either a) mass convert the native Date Column to a Date format or b) create a helper Column B pointing to Column A: (text(A2, "MMM YY"), copying and pasting as values and then changing it to Date format with custom date convention of mmm yy. Here is the link to the file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYTGXGtvwCDWhhZp6yoDfnyH4zSDTYAk/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103354753371375324640&rtpof=true&sd=true Is there a workaround to the Date column so that excel evaluates is as a true date (serial) data? Thank you. Regards, Shams.Solved39Views0likes1CommentData validation dropdown list isn't working
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?Solved117KViews0likes8Comments
