44586 TopicsFormula Help for Sorting
Hi all! I am looking to find a formula that will do a multitude of things. One is to sort a column of numbers by the last 2 digits of the values input but by a particular order such as 00-14, 15-29, 30-42. Secondly, once sorted by this grouping, I want to assign it to a particular department based on said sort (Dept 1, 2, 3 and so forth. I have attempted to use the VLookup formula that Google AI gave me to no avail. I received an error. Also with a IF formula and haven't been able to figure out how to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!31Views0likes2CommentsAutomatically adding the date/time to a cell when another cell is updated
I am trying to create a spreadsheet where when a specific cell is updated in anyway, the date/time stamp automatically updates in the cell right beneath the cell that was updated. I only need to have a one to one relationship with multiple cells. IOW, I have 5 cells in a row going across. When any one of the 5 cells is updated, I want an updated date/time stamp to appear in the cell directly below the cell that was updated. Is there a way to do this?319KViews2likes50Comments"Getting Name" bug on my worksheet
One of the cells in my worksheet has a "Getting Name" bug on my worksheet - I have no idea what this is referring to - I've never seen this in my 40-years of using Excel - there are no Range Names nor Links in this workbook. What is it and how do I get rid of it?365Views1like12CommentsPLEASE HELP ME. Excel Time Formatting Not Working?
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I created an excel workbook for tracking fitness workouts, I record the data such as weight lifted, number of reps, and rest times between sets. I formatted the cells so they express your rest times in terms of minutes and seconds (I used the custom "H:MM" format of time option). But whenever I record the amount of time you spend during cardio exercise, the formatting gets COMPLETELY SCREWED UP because when I type 28:44 (28 minutes and 44 seconds) of cardio duration, it instantly turns into 4:44 (4 minutes and 44 seconds). But if I type 20:00 (20 minutes) of cardio duration, it stays as 20:00 (20 minutes) and it never turns into something else. Why do some of the numbers like 28:44 transform into a complete different number when I enter them? I uploaded 3 screenshots below to better express what I mean.

Hi all, I want a chart showing the development in revenue and margins over a period of three yrs. I want the revenue to be marked on the left hand x axis and margins to be marked on the right hand x axis (secondary axis). I can't quite get it to look the way I want. See the attached picture. What I want is for the margins (currently shown as lines across the three companies) to show as lines across each company over the time period. So basically one line across company A, one line across company B and one line across company C. Appreciate any help! Best regards, Kris62Views0likes2CommentsPlaying with conditional formatting
This formatting is something I used to restructure the way I wrote formulas between 2015 and 2018. In the original I used VBA but now, as often happens, worksheet formulas used within conditional formatting are sufficient. The formula defining the condition is = DIRECTREFλ(A1) //Function to test for the presence of direct cell references DIRECTREFλ = LAMBDA(cell, IF(ISFORMULA(cell), REGEXTEST(FORMULATEXT(cell), "\b[A-Z]{1,3}\${0,1}\d{1,6}\b")) ); The original was pretty effective as a training aid to avoid the practice of relative referencing and use defined names! That said, not many followed my lead! Mind you when I posted a discussion on Chandoo it didn't meet with overwhelming support, though subsequent events in the form of spilt ranges have made my life so much easier! The post did however stimulate more discussion than I had anticipated. The A1 notation is an abomination that has no place within serious spreadsheet design -- discuss? | Chandoo.org Excel Forums - Become Awesome in Excel209Views1like2CommentsTop n vs. Others in Excel
Hi all, I'm seeking some help because I'm kind of new to the more intermediate stuff in Excel. I have an Excel table with the following columns: Subcategory in column A, Brand in column B, Region in column C, Year in column D and Values Month in column E. I want to create a PivotTable and a Pivot line chart from this PivotTable that ranks the Top 5 Brands vs. Other Competitors by each region. For added context: There are 5 subcategories, 3 regions and 25 brands. Currently, I've tried grouping the remaining 20 brands as "Other Competitors" vs. the Top 5 brands within a selected region and possibly all regions (when no selection is made). I'm seeking a solution similar to this... Please mind the colours. I will sort those out later. But, the problem that I'm faced with is that upon selection of a region, the PivotTable won't update to the Top 5 brands of a selected region because they've already been grouped. How can I make this more dynamic so that I'm able to show The Top 5 brands vs. Others? Please help. EDIT: My operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit) and I use Excel 365 (Desktop version). For reference, I've attached a link to a sample file. https://1drv.ms/x/c/b2d878e32a062614/IQC1wcnwLICcQasOfnGcwKn0ASjpXp9xQ6rjnOP10Jal5cc?e=HaXEWd Thank you all once again.134Views1like3Comments
