Formula Shortcut

I need an excel expert that knows a shortcut that will allow me to convert the follwing formula =+'[Wexford MD Staffing Audit Phase I Oct 2012 x.xls]Staff Plan - FY13'!L181+'[Wexford MD Staffing Audit Phase I Oct 2012 x.xls]Staff Plan - FY13'!L317 to =+'Staff Plan - FY13'!L181+'Staff Plan - FY13'!L317

Help with this Formula

I have created this formula but it is giving the result "0", when if fact what should showing is "2", even in the formula checker I gone through it systematically and it only results in "0", this is based on the $c87 cell content being a No.4 and the AV80 cell content being a No.1. I know it is to do with a true/false statement but because of the nesting the formula reading right but results wrong and I can't seem to correct it - can anyone see what I done wrong and point out the error I have made! to me thank-you

Calling a website and returning

Thanks Andy that does work.
Instead of dropping a hyperlink onto th worksheet, and executing from there, I'd prefer to have it execute directly from the User Form upon clicking on the option. In other works, click and the button and it directly goes to the website, then returns to the user form (same one or next) without having to return to the spreadsheet itself. Make sense?

Función SIFECHA:

Esta función es un caso aparte, no por su simpleza o complejidad. Simplemente, porque desde Excel 5.0 no está documentada. Es una función  que si la buscamos en el listado de funciones de Excel, veremos que no aparece.

Becoming a Microsoft Excel MVP is about being an expert in Excel, volunteering your expertise, and being known for your contribution. You cannot apply for this award, and you need simply to be recognised.

Here are a few things that might help to get you noticed:

NEED HELP PLEASE!

I have the entire layout done, I just need a great deal of help in making my coding correct so I can make it run properly. I have included all the steps needed in order to complete it and want to make sure I'm headed in somewhat of the right direction but I am struggling greatly. Any help would much appreciated.

Design and code a project to calcu¬late the amount due for rentals.
Movies may be in VCR (videotape) format or DVD format
Videotapes rent for $1.80 each and DVD’s rent for $2.50.
New releases are $3 for DVD and $2 for videotape.

Response 2 to Need help to gather staff times

Martin,

two files attached. MD master is the file which collates the data from the timesheets. TS1 is a timesheet. Note I have amended the timesheet format slightly so this will need to become your new template timesheet (see notes).
I recommend you error check for mathematical errors before deploying.
The master workbook also has a populateallrnd macro which will populate all timesheet workbooks within a folder with random numbers.
Any probs/questions email me at andrewlitchfield@gmail.com for fine tweaking

Excel is the Super App!

It is amazing how many people use Excel for providing status updates, reference material, defect tracking, etc. I have made a number of solutions for Excel users that thought that Excel was just a bunch of cells that could do a few calcs for convenience (SUM, IF, Vlookup,etc.) I think the hardest thing about Excel is getting the users to understand that excel can do things better. For example: a users mantains a list of somekind with each record containing several attributes.

Programming the output format within a UDF

I made a UDF in Excel 2010 which is programmed to give an output in acordance to the value of the transfered parameters, for the best display I need to be able to modify the output format in correspondence with the results, the question is:

Is it possible to include, as a part of the UDF, a code to make a conditional format to display the result in an appropriate format? if so, how can I program it?.

To illustrate the question take this: functionName(A,B,C,D,E)

where A,B,C,D are the parameters for the calculus and E is the format parameter, for example:
