Sorting data in excel so it is mail mergeable
Submitted by jessicax on 9 October, 2014 - 13:08I have a long list of equipment by room number. Some rooms have more than one piece of equipment. I can pivot the data to get what I want but I am having trouble mail merging in Word.
Ideally I need a script or something (maybe if, match formula) that will append the equipment as different columns against each room number.
Any ideas please?
Regards,
Jessica

SUMIFS function
Submitted by zoller.robert on 7 October, 2014 - 13:03Hi All,
There is a master xlsx in where we use SUMIFS function. The function gets data from other datasheets all saved in the same subdirectory.
If we do not open all source data sheet regardless we refresh data or not there is the same message in every cell (in we use SUMIFS): #value!
In the cells where we use VLOOKUP function there is no problem.
What would be the fault? How could we correct the fault?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Robert Zoller

URGENT HELP ON EXCEL FUNCTION/ MACRO TO AUTOMATE THE REPORT AND MAINTAIN ITS HISTORY TOO
Submitted by GKaur on 6 October, 2014 - 10:10Hi,
Hope you are well. I actually need your urgent help on the report that I am currently working on. This is the first time I am using any blog to ask for the help in solving my query. So fingers cross and hoping that I will get the solution of my query.
Before explaining the problem, I would like to say that my background is databases related. So i mainly use SQL, mySQL, SAS and I am not that much expert in Excel. I am OK in using very basic functions, vlookups and pivot tables in excel but never ever worked on VB, excel macros. So I need your expert advise on the following issue.
Checkbox that unchecks and disables others in its group
Submitted by tomnice on 2 October, 2014 - 12:08Hi there,
I'm trying to create a macro that will uncheck checkboxes in a group when one is selected - this checkbox is labelled as (All). When selected, I want the other checkboxes to be disabled so that it is only the (All) box that can be checked. Once that is unchecked, the other cbs can be checked once again.
I've got to the stage where clicking the (All) box unchecks the other cbs but have had trouble in disabling other cbs and getting them to enable again.
Macro - To copy a date from Sheet 1 and search in Sheet 2
Submitted by aladin347 on 26 September, 2014 - 20:39Hello team,
Could you please help me with a script for the below example.
1. Sheet 1 - has a Date ( from the data validation Field ( ex : 09/25/2014)
2. Sheet 2 - Has series of Date Horizontally in different cells but same row ( ex : 09/20/2014 | 09/21/2014 |09/25/2014)
The macro should look for the date in Sheet 1 and come to Sheet 2 and search the date and go below the date and extend formulas for the date.
I tried recording the macro, but it always stop at the same day which i recorded, even though i change the date from the data validation it still stops there.

Problems with the INDIRECT function
Submitted by MikeR on 25 September, 2014 - 19:08The attached spreadsheet has two indirect statements in the tab "Work Sheet 2014". One always works and the other sometimes works.
If the formula in cell A2 in the "Projections" tab is altered (i.e. the divisor is changed from 12 to 10) cell A2 on the "Work Sheet 2014" tab shows #REF!. If you go to the "Work Sheet 2014" tab and hit F9 the correct value is displayed. The formula in cell A3 in the "Work Sheet 2014" tab always displays the correct value.
What do I need to do to get cell A2 in the "Work Sheet 2014" tab to function without hitting F9?
Align the conditional formatting icon to the right of the text (MACRO?)
Submitted by janszoon on 24 September, 2014 - 05:08Hi there,
I'm sure this is not a new question, but using arrows or traffic lights & text in a cell means a left alignment of the icon in the cell.
This is causing some confusion as the ICON looks like it is associated with the column previous, not the actual cell.
Our need means that we cannot have 'another' column for the icons and needs to appear in the same cell.
Has anyone discovered a way to achieve this or is there a MACRO or similar/VB that could be used to achieve this visual display?
CHeers.

How to include leading zeros when you combine columns
Submitted by Kelsey on 20 September, 2014 - 00:49I have several columns that contain leading zeros (which I have figured out how to include). I am trying to combine the columns using "&," but every time I do the leading zeros are not included. For example I have the following:
Column I = 06
Column J = 059
Column K = 062622
Column L = 2004
In Column M I entered "=I1&J1&K1&L1" and I got 659626222004. However, what I want is 060590626222004.
How do I include the leading zeros when I combine the columns?
Thanks for the help!

Extract Data from large file

The attached file contains some raw data that I need to consolidate into a summary. The file has a columns called RA#, Store #, Material, Order QTY, and some others that I do not need to worry about. I need Excel to combine the same RA#, Store # and material numbers on the file to get me a total amount of each material that was returned for each RA#. Please note that the data on the file is collected daily and the files may have over 900 lines on the file.
Thank you for helping

Please Help modify macro to include additional columns
Submitted by LuiG on 16 September, 2014 - 02:35I have this macro which looks at a spreadsheet and populates another with values ie. standards. I have added rows and columns to the original spreadsheet since new units and codes have been created and I was able to change the macro to include the additional rows but I think that it is not looking far enough to the right to include the new columns. I have columns up to AZ but it seems that the macro doesn't fill in values for anything past column AP. I didn't write the macro and am by no means an expert but I just need to figure out what line tells the macro what columns to look at.

Need dynamic list to populate in another sheet & carry data in destination sheet with it when changed
Submitted by jpalarch on 8 September, 2014 - 14:20I have 3 separate worksheets. Sheet 1 has a column with a list of numbers & text that will constantly be changing. That column also includes blanks & duplicates. In Sheet 2, I am clearing out all the blanks & duplicates using an "IF, ROWS, INDEX, MATCH" formula. In Sheet 3 in column A, I am using an "IFERROR, OFFSET, COUNTA" formula to re-populate the list from Sheet 2. I then am using the column B as a drop down list to give a status to each item in column A.
