Using calculated columns in pivot table
I already used calculated fields to get some datas in my pivot table. They're displayed as count or sum. I want to make a new calculated fields using a Sum of working time, divide it with the number of operations. How can I use the count and the sum ? Right now, it doesn't seem to use the sum nor the count : Here I want Sum of MBTF to be : Sum of working time/ Count of Stop but the values in Sum of MTBF seems to use the values in Stops (they are dispalyed in my original table as 6/7 numbers, but I used the function count to only get the number of occurences). I believe that's the thing causing my Sum of MTBF to show 1.68E-07 numbers ( for the first line it should be 52.001) : How can I get to have a column displaying the right values (52.001, and others for each line) ? Thank you in advance for your help !
Need a consecutive XLookup
Hello All, OK let me describe what I am trying to do: I need to create a Task List. In this list I will have let’s say 200 tasks, and 50 people to perform these tasks. i need a way to assign the first task to the first person, then the second task to the second person, then the 3rd task to the 3rd person and so on until the first 50 tasks are assigned. then I need to assign the 51st task to the first person, the 52nd to the second person, and the 53rd task to the 3rd person until that batch of tasks and People are matched. but this is not linear, I may want to choose task 52 to person 3 because the 3rd task is related to the 52nd task. i can live without this feature and fine tune the list manually but the main question is how can I look up a name and match it to a task. i hope this makes sense to you, please ask for any clarification and i shall add that bit. thanks in advance… wassim
Look up a date range and return title from list of date ranges it falls within?
I searched and didn't quite find this answer, hoping somebody can help. I would say I'm a novice with Excel, but can generally follow directions well enough. I have a list of from and to dates. I also have a list of established date ranges, each titled. I would like to look up each of my date ranges to find if they fall witin any of the date ranges from the list and then pull in the appropriate date range title. Example: List of established date ranges: From Date To Date Range Title 1/1/2026 1/15/2026 Jan 1st Half 1/16/2026 1/31/2026 Jan 2nd Half 2/1/2026 2/14/2026 Feb 1st Half 2/15/2026 2/28/2026 Feb 2nd Half Data I'd like to look up within those ranges: From Date To Date 1/5/2026 1/8/2026 2/5/2026 2/11/2026 Expected Results: From Date To Date Range 1/5/2026 1/8/2026 Jan 1st Half 2/5/2026 2/11/2026 Feb 1st Half Any advice welcomed.
Help with summing totals using multiple texts
Good evening. I have attached an image of my spreadsheet below which hopefully will help my blurb make a bit more sense! I am producing some uniform for a local club. I have made a spreadsheet to allow me to track the number of garments and sizes ordered (purple table). However from this information in the purple table I need to know how many logos of each size to order (orange table). I know what size logo is required for all the different garments and sizes of garment, as can be seen in the blue table, but this would require me to go through 1 order at a time tallying up what size logos I require. Ideally I would like excel to be able to look at the purple table and tell me how many items there are that require a given size logo. For example, I know that a 'Youth S T-shirt' and a 'S Legging' and 'Youth M Hoodie' all require a 6cm logo. and also that the 'Youth M Hoodie' also requires an 18cm logo. I would therefore like excel to look at the purple table and see that there are 3 x 'Youth S T-shirt', 2 x S Legging and 2 x Youth M Hoodie, therefore 7 items require a 6cm logo, so I would like excel to populate the orange table in the 'total needed' column for 6cm (cell B23) to show '7'. The 'Youth M Hoodie' also requires an 18cm logo and therefore cell B28 should also populate with '1'. I have tried COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, SUMIF, SUMIFS, but none of them have worked. I do not know if I am entered the information into the equation incorrectly or if I am using the wrong function/formula. Can anyone please help! Many thanks.Excel formulas starting to include current sheet name
Hi I recently noticed that formulas in excel starting to automatically include the "current" sheet name after leaving and coming back to the sheet (example below). I don't remember this used to be the case but I could be wrong. Does anyone have a similar experience or can confirm if this is correct? Is there a setting somewhere I can turn this on and off? Example: I have 2 tables (1 per sheet). After clicking on Sheet2 to select the cell I want to sum, coming back to Sheet1 and referencing any cells will include "Sheet1!" in my formula. I believe previously the formula omits "Sheet1!". Both ways are useful in different scenarios but wondering if I have missed a trick to "turn on and off" how it behaves. Thanks!Filling a column with succeeding lists
Hi, I need a list of files, with numbers starting from 001 for each box. Adding the number for one box is easy but I have thousands of them. A box number is like "0001AA0001". The first number and the letters never change, so I have : 0001AA0001 0001AA0002 0001AA0003 Then I have to add the files numbers, like "0001AA0001/001". I already have a line for each file, but only with the box number in the forst column, repeated several times, each time for every file. What I have What I need 0001AA0001 0001AA0001/001 0001AA0001 0001AA0001/002 0001AA0001 0001AA0001/003 0001AA0002 0001AA0002/001 0001AA0002 0001AA0002/002 0001AA0003 0001AA0003/001 0001AA0004 0001AA0004/001 0001AA0004 0001AA0004/002 0001AA0004 0001AA0004/003 Can you please tell me how can I add automatically the /001 and so on without having to do it for each box ? I can't manage to use a model for CTRL+E and I'm not accustomed to use the functions. Thanks, M.T.Using excel to prepare a detailed income and tax computation for federal taxes USA.
I am toying with the idea of preparing a comprehensive excel workbook for preparing a computation of income, adjustments, deductions, taxes and credits similar to a software helping to prepare 1040 return. My idea is not exactly to prepare a tax forms for submission but a computation summary of four to five pages which helps the tax payers to appreciate their income and taxes (as against 200+ pages of tax return). Technically it will be a full fledged software but will be also a very good review and visulation tool and mybe a tax planning tool later. Is excel a good place to do that? Will python with excel be able to handle? I am a tax professional but not a tech guy. I am only looking at Federal preparation as of now.
