I have an Excel spreadsheet that keeps giving me the same issue with the formulas in column O. Originally, column O contained the following formula: Original formula: =IF(R4<>"", R4, Q4) + IF(ABS(I5-I4) < 30, 25/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 50, 40/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 150, 60/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 250, 80/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 300, 100/1440))))) The formula has since been updated to: Current formula: =IF(R4<>"", R4, Q4) + IF(ABS(I5-I4) < 30, 25/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 50, 40/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 150, 60/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 250, 80/1440, IF(ABS(I5-I4) <= 300, 100/1440))))) + C5/24 However, whenever I insert a new row, Excel automatically fills it with the original formula instead of the updated one, even though I have been using the updated formula for quite some time now. How can I make Excel recognize and use the updated formula when new rows are inserted?37Views0likes1Commentsort by column then by numbers in a row
HI all I have a table of results pictured here. Once the results are in, I sort the table by the Total Score Column. When we have a tie (as in line 3 & 4, I need to sort by who has the most highest score... so, who has the most 9 (equal here), then by most 8.5 (line 4 wins the tiebreaker, 4 over 2) Can I do this so it doesn't affect the order of the columns but just the rows involved.183Views0likes6Commentsvlookup error

Hello, I have a very large workbook with many formulas across different sheets. I currently have this workbook set to manual calculations only. And it is saved in a Sharepoint Directory with autosave enabled. When the source data for this workbook is updated. None of the formulas are updating when 1. The Calculate Now button is pressed. 2. The workbook is set back to automatic calculation. 3. When the work book is manually saved and closed. I have noticed another issue. When I go to File > Options. The Options dialogue never appears. I am wondering if anyone else have experienced this issue, and if so have been able to successfully troubleshoot the problem?522KViews0likes7CommentsBYROW/BYCOL/MAP Variants for Nested Arrays + BENCHMARK
Hey everyone! I made some simple BYROW, BYCOL, and MAP variants that can return nested arrays, and I also made a BENCHMARK function for performance testing. Here's some code for testing: BYROW⊟ = LAMBDA(array, function, [orient], LET( me, LAMBDA(me, seg, LET( n, ROWS(seg), IF( n = 1, function(seg), IF( orient, HSTACK( me(me, TAKE(seg, INT(n / 2))), me(me, DROP(seg, INT(n / 2))) ), VSTACK( me(me, TAKE(seg, INT(n / 2))), me(me, DROP(seg, INT(n / 2))) ) ) ) ) ), IFNA(me(me, array), "") ) ); I didn’t put a huge amount of effort into polishing this but In my tests on my device, these performed a lot better than using REDUCE + VSTACK for the same kind of thing, so maybe it’ll be useful to someone. Really curious to see how people use it, and if something looks like it should be optimized or changed, say so. I'll update them regularly, fix bugs whenever I can.

Hi, hoping someone can figure this out. I am trying to copy down a % increase - its a long list but it will not copy down. I have gone into automation and that is ticked, also file options advanced and ensured all that is ticked but still nothing it just gives random numbers. Hoping you can help. Thanks1.1KViews0likes5CommentsCombinar correspondencia ahora que han desaparecido los DDE con resultados con solo dos decimales
Buenos días: antes combinaba correspondencia de un word con un excell, para hacer mis facturas mensuales con DDE, pero ahora esa opción ha desaparecido y cuando combino me salen muchísimos decimales. He aplicado el formato directamente en Word modificando el campo de fusión con un cambio de formato numérico (por ejemplo, \# "#,##0.00" para forzar dos decimales), pero sigue sin hacérmelo... alguna idea para poder fijar solamente dos decimales en el excell para que los resultados de la combinación en word den solo 2 decimales?17Views0likes0CommentsPower Query error 'The key didn't match any rows in the table.' when combining
Hello everyone, I'm trying to merge multiple excel files into one spreadsheet using Power Query, but I receive the following error when doing so: An error occurred in the ‘Transform File’ query. Expression.Error: The key didn't match any rows in the table. Details: Key= Item=Client Lists Kind=Sheet Table= Now a bit of information on my data sheets. The workbooks I'm trying to combine are tabled and also contain 2 tabs each. I'm trying to specifically combine 1 of the tabs from each sheet. In the Power Query navigator, it shows the options of 'Table' and the named tab I want to focus on. I tried to separate the 1 specific tab into one book and ensured all of my books have the exact same headers. When I try to combine I still receive the same error. Do I have to un-table my sheets? Or do I have to create a new book for the specific sheet I'm looking to combine? Please help!133KViews1like19Comments
