Macro that allows Excel Field Data to create new Word Docs
Submitted by David Berowsky on 24 September, 2015 - 11:03Hi All
I'm sure this is a basic Excel/VBA questions, but I need some help with our reporting system.
I have our students' test results in an Excel workbook. Our client requires a Word report for each student individually.
What I'm trying to achieve is to have a click event Macro on each worksheet that, when run, will create Word docs, from a template, for each student, and save them to a specific file; but the report is to only include data from specific cells.
The macro must also be able to find duplicate documents and give the options to create new or overwrite existing files.
Need help writing a function
Submitted by bwallan on 23 September, 2015 - 19:16Okay, so I have a list of data all formatted as time (example: 00:00:00:00) and what I need to do is find instances in the column list where the last two digits equal 00 or 01 and the second two digits are not divisible by 10.
So, an instance like 07:40:15:00.
Then, I need just those found instances were the last two digits (the 00 or 01) are changed to 02.
Then, there's a final step in all of this:
Automatic calculation of minimum or maximum value in a cell
Submitted by kioutsoukof on 22 September, 2015 - 21:33Hi guys
I want a macro that can calculate automatically the minimum or the maximum value of a cell depending on other cell's data. I am explaining:
I have cells A1, A2, A3 and A4 containing data. In cell C1 I have a formula that depends on data of the cells I mentioned. The relevancy of that data and cell C1 is not direct (the data of A1 to A4 goes to other cells fist before C1)

VLOOKUP or something else?
Submitted by josh60 on 19 September, 2015 - 21:57Hi all,
I am unsure whether I should be using a VLOOKUP or maybe an IF function for what I would like to achieve...
On the "Register" sheet I have a register over 4 weeks with students names in Column A and data I need in Column B:J.
I then have the register with some overall figures towards the end.
Over the course of the year the number of students on the document will be in the 100's.

Excel Forum Help Please
Submitted by ihiggins on 19 September, 2015 - 18:59Hi
I have a 4000+ row sheet.
I have 3 values in cells in a row so for example A1 9.5, A2 -4, A3 -11
I need to be able to work out which 2 of the 3 values are furthest from zero, so in the above example it would be A1 at 9.5 and A3 at -11
Once highlighted then need if possible to be able to rank those two values so A3 first and A1 second and be able to apply labels depending on which cell it came from so if it came from A3 it would need to be labelled D1

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH( ---- Trying to search multiple options to return the same value
Submitted by JLA6X7 on 11 September, 2015 - 14:15I'm trying to reclassify certain clients by the state they are located in. We want all IL, MO, AR, TN clients to be "Central" region clients.
Currently the formula I am using, which is working the way intended, is
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($M$2,B8)),"Central","No")
M2 is ", IL", but I want it to also include the other states listed above as other options. How can I also include ", MO" ", AR" ", TN" to this formula so that those states will also return the "Central" value using only one formula?

Excel Form to calculate V.A.T
Submitted by Kraigh98 on 11 September, 2015 - 13:54Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get the value of VAT when you type the amount into a textbox in an excel vba form.
its just a simple form that i have created to control the selling price of my stock over various selling platforms.
i am struggling with getting the VAT when you know the selling price, i just want to be able to deduct vat so i know how much vat is on the selling price.
this is what i had, but this adds value to the selling price and not deducting it, i dont want that. To deduct in excel you would use 83.33%.

{Newbie} How to create a bargraph that allows overlaping date data.
Submitted by Excelkhahh10T on 11 September, 2015 - 03:27I suspect that the subject isnt clear as to what I am trying to create. The x axis would be the time range from 12am to 11:59 pm. The y axis (from top to bottom) would have the days in a month, from 1 to 31. The horizontal bar chart would graph the awake and sleep times of someone going from top to bottom. The issue is that these times can overlap if a person is awake late one night(pm) into the next day(am). How can I make the graph respond to the fact that the start of a new days bar is a continuation of the previous days bar?
Date Ranges transcribed to dates in a calendar view in Excel
Submitted by JLStadler81 on 10 September, 2015 - 21:34Hello! I manage clinical trials and in the trials there are patients that are scheduled to return for visits within certain time frames. I have a spreadsheet that helps me calculate estimated time frames for the visits which works great. However, I would really like to see the dates in a calendar format as opposed to a list format (which is how they are currently listed). While I am fairly good with excel, I have not been able to create another sheet with a calendar that shows the dates broken down by patient.

Conditional formatting to highlight due dates only considering business days
Submitted by Lodds on 9 September, 2015 - 01:06Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet tracking documents that require review. Documents need to be reviewed within 7 business days of receipt. I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight the comments due date based on number of days from the current date. ie: green 7-6 days, yellow 5-4 days, orange 3-2 days, red 1 day, maroon for overdue.
I can apply the conditional formatting but I can't make it apply only to business days! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet format, with dates in the columns discussed above.
Cheers!

Help on understanding a formula an insurance administrator uses to calculate an annulized cash value
Submitted by JBK on 5 September, 2015 - 14:46I need help to understand universal life calculations. The policy has an annualized cash value interest rate of 4%. My husband paid on this policy for over 27 years. He recently passed away. Lots of issues with the administrator of the policy including being evasive and not returning calls. It appears we did not receive all interest on the policy. I was informed..."the concept is to never pay interest on the policy" I asked for a printout of all payments as the annual statements show there is interest at 4%.
copy and pasting in a sorted excel file
Submitted by excelnoob on 4 September, 2015 - 09:32If I had an excel file that contains names of all wedding guests, and I sorted for those that RSVP a yes to the wedding I call this excel file EF1. Then, separately, I have another excel file (EF2) that shows all the meal options of guests that RSVPed a yes to to the wedding. Then for whatever reasons, I wanted to copy & paste the meal options from EF2 to the "sorted to yes" EF1. However, since EF1 is sorted when I paste the information from EF2 to EF1, some of the information pasted over to EF1 will be pasted to the cells that are not showing (guests that RSVPed a no).
