Need quick help on a project

I'm trying to create an interactive spreadsheet where as a user is presented with a locked interface - that interface will have buttons and drop down list. So this is the idea...

Sales rep on a call - customer says I have X amount of users, X amount of bandwith, X amount of whatever. Then as the rep enters the info and presses submit - it spits out the recommended product and any cross selling services from other orgs.

I use to be able to do this in older versions of Excel or word, but this new stuff I can't seem to find how to do this?

If or time calc help

I just took a basics excel class and some of the things excel can do that I have never used. I have several excel sheets that I have been modifying to include some automation successfully.

I have a sheet with a time calculation that I only want answered if it meets my requirements.

To calculate time past midnight I am using =MOD(b1-a1,1), this works well as long as A1 and B1 are filled. If are both are empty i get 0:00 but if only b1 is filled then I get b1 as the answer.

I tried
=IF(OR(A1=" ",B1=" ")," ",MOD(B1-A1,1))

Summarizing report

Please see enclosed example. I am looking for a macro or other method to summarize the lines in the INPUT tab into the table on the OUTPUT tab. The original spreadsheet as 48,000 lines so no manual cut and pastes or copies. Any ideas welcome.

UPDATE: I solved the issue myself with one formula, which I was able to paste down the sheet once. Then I ran a pivot report and I was good to go. See enclosed spreadsheet col. J.

semicolon and comma in formula's

Hi,

It's a well-known fact that Excel 2010 has a problem in the use of semicolons and comma's for defining a range due to regional settings. Changing these settings doesn't resolve everything, however. What if you have to combine comma's and semicolons?
My example:
I need to use this formula:
=(GROWTH(G25:G33,AH3:AH14;B25:B33,AC3:AC14;AC15))
G25:G33,AH3:AH14 and B25:B33,AC3:AC14 here are non-adjacent cell-ranges, while the semicolons separate known y's, known x's and new x.

Division tool calculating the rest.

Hello all . I have a tool written in which the number of applications received per person is calculated on the basis of work pattern and work rate and total occupancy hours . The routine in which the remainder is calculated must run until the remainder is zero . But it does not, ie he hangs at 44 and then it's an infinite loop .

I 've actually tested with breakpoints , Rij4 is just bigger than aantalcellen4 , that's not it .

Can I create a checkbox that when ticked, shows an additional area to input information?

Hi all,

I'm creating a basic form or templateusing Excel 2010 where the user will fill out information (See attached screenshot) I'd like to incorporate two a check boxes, that when ticked, change the display of the second table, either adding, removing or splitting of of the current columns in to two?

If this is not possible it will be acceptable that when a checkbox is ticked, the title text at the top of a specific collumn changes.

Is this, or any variation of, possible using Excel 2010.

Many thanks

Identifying a ranked value and then displaying a value

So I'm a bit stuck.

I've got a range of columns that indicate salary brackets on my spreadsheet. eg column A is £0-10K, column B 11-20K etc

Then on the rows I have how many people for a particular area fit into each of these columns.

What i need to do is display in a separate column: what the number one salary bracket is for that particular area and then in a second column what the 4th salary bracket is. So that when you look at the data at a glance you can see that the top 4 salary brackets for each area. eg 10K-40K
