Hi everyone again, so I am trying to pull data from one tab (DATA) to another tab (MRD ABC123, SLRD ABC123, etc..) there are examples in the first 2 tabs (MRD & SLRD ABC123) of how i am trying to pull this data over. I have tried formulas and have had some help on here as well to try some formulas but nothing is wanting to work. The data on the DATA tab is being copied and pasted from a Microsoft Forms. the columns i want to transfer the data to their perspective tabs is in Orange (Column F - R) Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the spreadsheet below66Views0likes3CommentsExcel help requested
Hi folks I am new to the forum but have been an Excel user for a good few years. I would appreciate some advice from experts. I have a spreadsheet with several worksheets on it. The first being the entries from bank statements. I would like to have the entries on this sheet automatically added to the respective worksheet as each company my Masonic lodge uses has a separate worksheet. For example gas etc. I’ve tried to attach the sheet but it doesn’t appear to be possible. Thank you in advance. steve63Views0likes2CommentsExcel Formula
Hi, I'm trying to figure out which formula (if any) to use in my workbook to make it more automated. I am needing to have a formula in worksheet 4, that will go to worksheet 1, locate the word "Thursday" in column B and return the corresponding date listed in column A. For more context, worksheet 1 has information for daily testing and worksheet 4 is a report that requires specific information for Thursdays only. I've been able to automate everything except for pulling the dates from worksheet 1. I've tried VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, IF, IFS and I just can't figure it out, as well as spending many hours trying to research which formula(s) to use. Please let me know if more information is needed.72Views0likes2CommentsFinding Possible Matches to a Solution
Hello Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has any tricks or formulas that I can use to find any possible combination of numbers that will create the desired solutions I'm looking for. Take a look at the picture I uploaded for reference. If I have a list of data in column A, I will be looking for a given set of numbers that will create a sum that matches column C. I'm looking for a trick or formula that will return all possible combination of numbers that will sum up to equal Column C and then return those possible combinations in another column for me to see (for example like what you see in columns E, F, & G). Does anyone have any ideas on how or if this can be done? I would like to do this without the use of complicated macros or other codes if possible.71Views1like2CommentsExcel Formula Help
Hi everyone, i am needing help pulling data from one sheet to another. The "DATA" tab is a bunch of data that is pulled from a Microsoft forms survey and i copy and paste it in the sheet. Once i copy and past the data i want all the other sheets to pull this data into its perspective tab. On the "DATA" tab in coloumn G is the district and each district has a different column for the module. So MRD districts module is column I, SLRD districts module is Column J, SBRD districts module is column K and so on. What i would is when data is pasted i want MRD ABC123 to pull the data from the "DATA" sheet onto this tab but it has to meet the 2 criterias. 1st criteria for the "MRD ABC123" tab is the Job Code in Column F on the "DATA" tab has to match ABC123 and the District column G in the "DATA" tab has to match MRD and then pull that data from the row on the "DATA" tab into the perspective columns on the "MRD ABC123" tab. Im just looking for a formula that will work for each column on the "MRD ABC123" tab to pull the data from the "DATA" tab. i have tried Index Match, Xlookup, and Filter functions but i know im doing something wrong. Any help would be amazing. thank you.219Views2likes15CommentsXLOOKUP returning #N/A for some values when the values are there
I am trying to use XLOOKUP to find an identifying number from a separate spreadsheet, referenced by a different identifying number. My equation works for the most part, but I have a few #N/A errors (3 out of 11), but I have confirmed that the values were present in the array and that there were no typos. I cannot share a screenshot, so I will give a simplified version using sheets WS1, WS2, and WS3 with values ID1 and ID2. WS1 is the active sheet I am writing the formula in ID1 =VLOOKUP(A2,WS2,ID1Column,false (This equation works with no issues) ID2 = XLOOKUP(ID1Value,WS2LookupArray,WS2ReturnArray) ID2 equation works for the majority of the time, but returns a few #N/A and I cannot figure out why. I have run trim to eliminate any extra spaces, I formatted all cells the same way, I have no idea why I cannot get the error cells to work.24KViews1like6CommentsHow to Be an Excel Detective: Finding and Highlighting Formulas
Hi everyone, I recently wrote a blog post on some simple, yet powerful, techniques for anyone who works with Excel spreadsheets, especially those with complex data. I wanted to share a summary of it with this community, as it might be helpful to others who are looking to understand and protect their work. The post covers two main things: Quickly Revealing All Formulas: A simple keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + `) or the "Show Formulas" option can instantly reveal all formulas in a worksheet. This is a great way to quickly see how a spreadsheet is structured. Permanently Highlighting Formulas: The article shows how to use the "Find & Select" > "Formulas" feature to select all cells containing formulas and then permanently highlight them with a fill color. This visual cue can help prevent accidental edits and protect your data. Watch This in Action: For a step-by-step guide on how to use these techniques, you can watch the video on my https://www.youtube.com/@BIGurus. 🔗 https://youtu.be/1x-1dbqlWXk You can also read the full article here: https://medium.com/@anandsharad/how-to-be-an-excel-detective-finding-and-highlighting-formulas-fe9d4fdbc1b1 I'd be happy to answer any questions you have or discuss other Excel tips and tricks in the comments!20Views0likes0CommentsLeaving a blank space
I am using Vlookup to find data on a different tab of an excel sheet. If there something I can put in the Vlookup formula to show a blank space in place of a "#N/A" if there is no data in the cell it is trying to look up? Example below - the vlookup formula is in the 3rd column. since there is no data in the 2nd column, i would like the 3rd column to be blank instead of showing the #N/A W 1424 BIRKDALE 8 TH 1450 ROUND MEADOW 8 F 1450 ROUND MEADOW 7 SAT #N/A58Views0likes1CommentWhich formula to use to compare 2 spreadsheets that have 6 columns?
Hi, I have 2 spreadsheet, A and B, and both have 6 columns, like the table below, and more than 7k rows (6 x 7k) A B C D E F Bank Bank Code Country Bank Branch Bank Code SWIFT Code Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5 Value 6 I would like to compare spreadsheet A and B to find which values is missing into B. And, I assume that SheetA!Value1=SheetB!Value1, SheetA!Value2=SheetB!Value2,..,SheetA!Value6=SheetB!Value6 I tried this formula IFERROR(IF(MATCH(1,(A:A=SheetB!A:A)*(B:B=SheetB!B:B)*(C:C=SheetB!C:C)*(D:D=SheetB!C:C)*(E:E=SheetB!E:E)*(F:F=SheetB!F:F),0),"Added"),"Missing"). The problem with this formula it's take a lot time to give a result. My spreadsheets have Excel is very slow and my PC is freezing. So, I don't know if this formula is good nor if there is another one that won't slow down my PC.

The Background It's been said with Lambda (and LET and a wealth of functions in 365) Excel has become 'turing-complete'. To quote the article linked below: "You can now, in principle, write any computation in the Excel formula language." https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/lambda-the-ultimatae-excel-worksheet-function/ The Challenge I thought it would be fun to create Conway's 'Game of Life' in Excel 365 to see how far I could push things. Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia The rules are simple: A 'cell' has up to 8 adjacent cells (less if the cell is on the edge of the board). A 'neighbor' is a cell with a 1 while a 'dead' cell is empty. An 18x18 board Multiple iterations Bigger boards! more (it's relaxing to create new shapes and designs) The Approach My first thought was to use MAKEARRAY because I could use 'r' and 'c' coordinates and there would be no stacking. I devised a recursive function that worked for 1 iteration but failed on subsequent iterations because the use of TAKE/DROP was slowly shrinking the board! The revised approach is essentialy a recursive MAP that uses 3 arrays: the input matrix, the 'r' array (row numbers) and the 'c' array (column numbers). It's my way of using r/c without using MAKEARRAY. For Discussion I welcome any improvements to the existing function and any different approaches someone may have to creating Conway's Game of Life. Conway Lambda follows: Conway =LAMBDA(matrix, iterations, IF( iterations = 0, matrix, Conway( LET( height, ROWS(matrix), width, COLUMNS(matrix), r_arr, SEQUENCE(height) * SEQUENCE(, width, 1, 0), c_arr, SEQUENCE(height, , 1, 0) * SEQUENCE(, width), CheckNeighbors, LAMBDA(lattice, r, c, LET( RCx, LAMBDA(row, col, IFERROR(CHOOSECOLS(CHOOSEROWS(matrix, row), col), 0) ), N, RCx(r - 1, c), NE, RCx(r - 1, c + 1), E, RCx(r, c + 1), SE, RCx(r + 1, c + 1), S, RCx(r + 1, c), SW, RCx(r + 1, c - 1), W, RCx(r, c - 1), NW, RCx(r - 1, c - 1), compass, VSTACK(N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW), neighbors, SUM(compass), IF( AND(lattice = 0, neighbors = 3), 1, IF( AND(lattice = 1, OR(neighbors = 2, neighbors = 3)), 1, 0 ) ) ) ), MAP(matrix, r_arr, c_arr, CheckNeighbors) ), iterations - 1 ) ) )3KViews3likes28Comments
