    - how to stop the Web and Reviewing Toolbars from randomly being Hello - It seems that excel is randomly displaying the Web Toolbar and Reviewing Toolbar---even though I never need to use either one of them. Does anyone happen to know how I can stop this from happening? Thanks. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138921

    - Countif using less than or greater than criteria I have a list of data in cells d11:d15. I want to be able to count how many of the data points fall within a certain numeric range (ie less than 100 but greater than 50) but I want to be able to reference a specific cell containing the criteria rather than using '100' or '50' in the formula. In my worksheet 50 is in cell I2 and 100 is in cell K2. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138902

    - Simple countif syntax request Hi, I used to use Excel a lot but haven't for a few years. What is the syntax for using a countif function these days? "=countif(a1:a10,>b2)" used to do the trick I have tried using help but for some reason "=COUNTIF(B29:B40,">B23")" is not giving me the correct result, ie if I put 6.5 into cell b23 it is returning 0 not the number of cells in the range B29:B40 which are greater than 6.5 which is incredibly frustrating!

    - Data hidden/lost in Excel 2003 spreadsheet? I have an odd situation I was hoping some of you excel experts might be able to help me with. I was sent a spreadsheet (task schedule list) that was about 25kb (only 40 rows by 8 columns). After I did some editing (adding 2 new columns and adding some information to them) and saved the file, I noticed the file size has ballooned up to 2MB! I went hunting through the file to see if had accidentally pasted a something huge from my clipboard but could find nothing. I know it is the column I added as when I delete the entire column and save the file it goes back to the original 25kb. But when I delete the rows from this column where I added data (knowingly!) the file size does not change....it remains 2MB. I manually scrolled down from row 41 to 65,536 and could see nothing but white cells. I figure there's some data hidden in there but I can't seem to figure out how to find it. Can anyone recommend a good way to hunt this down? Much appreciated. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138895

    - Excel 2007 acting weird So I go into My Documents and double click an existing Excel file to open. Seems quite normal, no? This document opens, as well as a separate file "Book1". It gets rather annoying, that I've already opened the file I want. I didn't open Excel (start w/ a blank workbook) then go File>Open. Even more annoying is that I didn't make any changes to Book1 (at least that I can see), but it asks when I try to close Excel "Do you want to save?" I did have Solver installed and enabled. I've since tried disabling, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Is this normal behavior? If not, how can I stop it? TIA KenB Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138894

    - Largest non-blank sequence in row or column I'm trying to create a formula which will count the largest number of sequentially non-blank cells in a column or row. e.g. if the row had the following columns: |y|y|y|y| | |y|y|y|y|y|y| |y|y|y|y|y| the value would be 6 because it is the largest number of "y" values next to each other. Any Ideas please let me know. I'm using the formula to work out the longest number of days I do a particular task in a row. I update the spreadsheet daily and put a "y" in the row if I do that task.

    - Is this possible please Is this possible or am I asking too much of excel? If I have 254 working days in the year from D4 to D257 can it be done by a formula to work out the percentage automatically when a person is absent? It needs to know how many working days has passed in the year. Obviously up to today's date I believe it's 51 days. So, it would tell me for example that someone who has been off 10 days would have been off 5.1%. As each day passes the percentage would go down, or up if more time was taken off. It would finally tell me at the end of the year just how much time has been lost at a glance. If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful. Bryan. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138855

    - Excel 2002 parameter query returns some blanks instead of data Hello and thanks up front... (I'm going bonkers), It's invoice time, so in my "Job Records" file, I'm using a parameter query (Excel 02, Microsoft Query) to return only those records that occur in one specified month. In the original Excel "Job Records" file on which the query is based, one column of data, labeled "PO", lists purchase order names (e.g. "VBL" for a verbal Purchase Order) or numbers (e.g. "102509"). The column is automatically formatted by Excel as "General", and I just let it ride. A second column of data, labeled "Funding Entity" lists codes - some codes are letters , others are numbers, (e.g. "GF" for Gen. Fund, "21" for 21st Fund) all formatted as "Text". When I execute the query, everything works great (the correct records, selected by month, are returned) except that the cells containing numbers formatted as "General", when returned in the "PO" column, are skipped so the resulting cell is just blank. And in the resulting "Funding Entity" column, cells containing letters (e.g. "GF") end up blank and all those containing numbers formatted as test, e.g. "21", show up just fine. So, I end up with a "PO" column containing all the entries that were "VBL", but only blanks where the entries that are numbers (formatted as "General") should be and a "Funding Entity" column containing only "21", but no "GF"s. I tried (feebly) to change the numbers formatting to "Numbers", but it didn't work. Anyone know where I went wrong? Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138854

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Loosing_formula_when_changing_ro?= Iâ??m stymied and could use some help. I have a file that contains data in Sheet1 A1:A3 with values a,b,c. In Sheet2 B1:B3 I reference Sheet1â??s data with =Sheet1!A1 and so on. In Sheet2 if I try change the row reference from A1 to A2 I donâ??t get the value, I get the formula displayed =Sheet1!A2. The problem is that I have 2 columns like this and one works with reference changes the other doesnâ??t. I have checked cell formatting and option settings in all cells and they are all identical. The only clue Iâ??ve seen is that before the attempted change I can still do a precedent trace but after changing the row # to a valid row the trace indicates that the cell doesnâ??t â??contain a formula with a valid referenceâ??. The formula/link is getting clobbered, but I can find no settings that would effect that and would appreciate any hints. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138848

    - Unexpained Shortcut to Personal.xls I have Office 2003's Excel set up on my desktop and my laptop under XP Home. They both work as expected. Personal.xls is in Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART on both machines. However, on the Desktop alone there is a shortcut to it in Documents and Settings\Main\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. I delete the latter and open Excel and all the macros in Personal.xls that are tied to buttons and menu items work just fine without the shortcut. But when I close Excel, the shortcut reappears in Documents and Settings\Main\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. This does not happen on the laptop. There must be something in the way I have the two Excels set up. The laptop has my name as the user name and the desktop has Main as the user name. This is the only difference I am aware of. This does not cause any problems that I can see but I am curious about why it should happen on one machine and not the other. I will appreciate any guidance on this riddle. Thank you.

    - Excel 2007 - Conditional Formatting copy/paste errors I find that if I create a conditional format at one cell and then copy that to a multitude of others, the variable references within the conditional format will not adjust accordingly. For example: At cell A1, I have the conditional format of "=IF(A1>0,1,0)". If I copy this to cell B2:B3 (in one stroke), I will find both cell B2 and B3 to have the same formula "=IF(B2>0,1,0)". This of course is fine for cell B2, but it is not fine for cell B3. I would expect cell B3 to reference itself; not cell B2. Another problem is that if the receiving cells should have a conditional format previously in place, the copy from A1 to B2:B3 will append to the preexisting conditional format as opposed to overwriting them. The only circumvention I have for this bug is to clear any possible conditional format before I paste to the receiving cells, B2:B3. So, how do I resolve this apparent bug in Excel? btw, this bug is not present in Excel 2003. Thanks, Bob. Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138813

    - match and index function - getting it to keep its original reference I am using the match and index function to pull in data from a separate worksheet. I am using Column A as the reference cell, whereas my formula lies in Column F. The formula pulls in the data fine. The problem is, when I sort the data set, the match index function maintains the original reference cell and does NOT refer to the same row. So, for example, if my formula references A3, the formula continues to use A3 after I sort the cell (as if I had used an absolute reference). Does anyone know how to fix this? How can I pull in data using matchindex (or vlookup), but also be able to sort the rows without messing the formula up? Is there a way to use a list or named ranges to accomplish this? The actual formula I am using (in case it helps) is: =IF(ISNA(INDEX(CMS2!I:I,MATCH('CPT Summary for CMS Comp'!A27,CMS2! A:A,FALSE))),0,INDEX(CMS2!I:I,MATCH('CPT Summary for CMS Comp'!

Hi All, I am trying to remove the final character from a cell with a find and replace. the cell contents are like the following example. 07APR07A needing to be 07APR07 But other cells in the list are already in the format of 07-Apr-07 07APR07* I have managed to remove the * by using the tide ~ character.

    - I am interested in knowing some of your favorite Excel Add-ins Hello - I have been too cheap to buy any excel add-ins or plug-ins, and then recently I downloaded one (i.e., the PUP v6 toolbar), and realized that it was worth much more than the $40 price tag. I would be interested to hear some of your favorite add-ins (either free or purchased) and why you find them to be valuable. It would also be helpful to have the link to where they can be found. Thanks! - M Tag: FYI - MS Plugs 7 XL Flaws Tag: 138725

    - Data grouping and averaging in excel 2003 I am looking into purchasing a data logger that will collect voltage, amperage with a time scale. Below is a sample of the data and a summary to be generated above the data. I have some problems with how I can have a msexcel spreadsheet automatically calculate averages and total times for each zone. I would like a summary for many separate zones with a dozen or so sessions that have recording to last from 10 to 100 seconds within each session and automatically disregard calculating any values in column C that are <30 & all rows in column B that have been disregarded in column C. Averaging for volts and amps will include all readings within each zone. To calculate time, I would like to calculate the difference between when the amps go above 30 & the time when the amps drop below 30 + the time one row down. Formulas In A2 =(A11-A9)+(A15-A13)+(A20-A15) In B2 =AVERAGE(B9:B10,B13:B15,B18:B19) In C2 =AVERAGE(C9:C10,C13:C15,C18:C19) In A3 =(A24-A22)+(A29-A26) In B3 =AVERAGE(B22:B23,B26:B28) In C3 =AVERAGE(C22:C23,C26:C28) A B C D 1 total time avg volts avg amps total zone 2 00:00:54 25.3 122 b 3 00:00:30 25.0 125 f 4 5 6 7 8 time volts amps zone 9 13:30:12 24.9 131 b 10 13:30:18 25.3 124 b 11 13:30:24 39.4 12 b 12 13:30:30 38.4 9 b 13 13:30:36 26.3 130 b 14 13:30:42 24.9 114 b 15 13:30:48 25.3 125 b 16 13:30:54 39.4 2 b 17 13:31:00 38.4 8 b 18 13:31:06 25.2 111 b 19 13:31:12 25.1 117 b 20 13:31:18 39.4 3 b 21 13:31:24 38.4 13 b 22 13:31:30 25.1 125 f 23 13:31:36 25 131 f 24 13:31:42 38.4 7 f 25 13:31:48 37.6 11 f 26 13:31:54 25 124 f 27 13:32:00 24.9 130 f 28 13:32:06 24.8 114 f 29 13:32:12 37.6 11 f Can anyone help me with this?

    - Compatibility Question I have created a file in Excel 2003, and saved as "Excel 97-Excel2003 &5.0/95 Workbook" and I am running XP. The file utilizes several macros, VLOOKUP and COUNTIF commands. My question is if this file is distributed throughout the general public, what do you believe could be some unforeseen compatibility issues I am not aware of as it will obviously be opened on several versions of Operating Systems and versions of Excel? Do I have a 50% chance of success that it will be compatible? What would be your guess at the percentage of success? What are my options to make it more successful throughout more OS systems and Excel versions? Will some type of compatibility pack be the answer? Thanks for the anticipated help.
