Hi, I have search for an answer to this question without satisfactory results. I hope someone here at the forum can help me out. The problem is that sometimes when I copy and past a value from one cell into many cells in a filtered table, the value also gets copied into invisible cells. I have found that it may have to do with the selected pasting option. Because it seems as if the problem only occurs (but I am not sure) if I copy and paste “values” (or formulas, or any other pasting option other than the default paste option). Is there any way to make sure that Excel only copies and past even formulas or values into visible cells? Example. Pic 1 - In the table below I will filter column A and only see the rows with “Jan”. Pic 2 - I then write “ok” in the first cell and copy and paste (using keyboard shortcuts, ctrl c, ctrl + spacebar and then ctrl v) that into all the rows matching the value “Jan”. Pic 3 – The result is fine. Pic 4 – I did the same thing but copy and pasted “values” into all visible cells instead of using keyboard shortcuts. The result is as you can see that all cells got the “ok”. Thanks in advance for any help given. Brgs, Victor13KViews1like16CommentsTop 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.Solved465Views2likes16CommentsExcel formel

I need all cells in a row to highlight a certain color if the data in one cell contains a specific word. What I specifically want is for an entire row to turn grey if the status cell contains the word "SHIPPED." I know how to make that specific cell highlight the color I want, but not the entire row of the sheet.

Hi all, I have two sets of data for bonus calculations. SET ONE is in multiple rows by employee, e.g. the annual pay from 1 Jan to 31 Mar. Then 1 Apr to 31 Dec - when their pay has changed from 1 Apr onwards. And then a count of the number of days per row. I use this count to calculate the annual bonus. SET TWO is any annual supplement paid, by calendar month, that I need to split by days relevant to their pay in SET ONE and add to their salary for that period. So how can i take the data in SET TWO, and split by the same time period in SET ONE - and cut the Supp Amount and add to the Supplement Row column, thus updating the Total Paid column? I have 2k employees to calculate e.g. Thanks270Views0likes7CommentsI need help with userform create list of teams no repeated

Currently using excel with spanish formulas. When using GROUPBY formula, i can use SUM, PRODUCT, LAMBDA, however AVERAGE (PROMEDIO) won't work on a specific workbook which previously has a lot of GROUPBYs that work properly. When I update the previously working formula, it now returns NAME error and PROMEDIO turns into Promedio. Inserting the function looks like this: I have no custom name called Promedio. This same GROUPBY formula works in different workbooks. Help would be appreciated. Best regardsSolved180Views0likes6Comments
