Simple formula request
From http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/COLA/piaformula.html
There is this paragraph;
For an individual who first becomes eligible for old-age insurance
benefits or disability insurance benefits in 2008, or who dies in 2008
before becoming eligible for benefits, his/her PIA will be the sum of:
(a) 90 percent of the first $711 of his/her average indexed monthly
earnings, plus
(b) 32 percent of his/her average indexed monthly earnings over
$711 and through $4,288, plus
(c) 15 percent of his/her average indexed monthly earnings over $4,288.
I would like to write a single line to take the income (shown in an
adjacent cell) and produce the benefit based on this rule. I'm sure it's
simple, but I am having a brain freeze. Would someone be so kind as to
help me?
(Please forgive the duplicate post to the Mac group, this is not Mac
related, pretty generic question)

Validation Criteria & Ignore Blank (cells at bottom)
Hi All,
I have a named list that has a bunch of blank cells at the bottom so
the user can grow the list as needed. The ignore blank check box in
data validation looks tempting, but I still get all the blank cells at
the bottom of my drop down list. Does anyone know how to get it so
the blank cells don't show in the list.
Worksheet called License_Only has data from C2:C210. The data is
pulled from a second file as follows:
C2 - =IF(ISBLANK([Ontario_MGS_Price_List.xls]License_Only!C2),"",
[Ontario_MGS_Price_List.xls]License_Only!C2)
C3 - =IF(ISBLANK([Ontario_MGS_Price_List.xls]License_Only!C3),"",
[Ontario_MGS_Price_List.xls]License_Only!C3)
etc. to C252. Even thought C211 to C252 are blank, I'm hoping to have
the spreadsheet still work when new licenses are added to the bottom
of the price list in these blank cells.
Defined Name called License_Only is set to =OFFSET(License_Only!$C
$2,0,0,COUNTA(License_Only!$C:$C),1)
Worksheet called Definition has the drop down cell T39 with - Data
Validation > Settings: List, Ignore Blank checked, In-cell Dropdown
checked and Source is =License_Only.
I'm trying to get T39 to not include C211 to C252 (the blank cells
from the License_Only worksheet) unless there is data in them.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Formula won't copy down the column
I am trying to copy a formula down a column. I have done it for years and
worked fine. This time, the first result appears in each cell, but if you

changed as I dragged it down the column.
So, the formula changes as I drag, but the answer stays the same as the
original cell.

even copied just the delivered data to a new spreadsheet and the same result.

Changing a formula's result to text
I have a pretty simple worksheet that lists the date in column A.
In column B, I have a formula that converts the date in Column A to
the proper day of week.
When I put it in a pivot table, it treats column B as an individual
date, not the proper DOW.
I attempted to copy/paste special/values into a new column, but it
doesn't change it to the DOW, it leaves it as the date.
I am trying to get Excel to permanently change the cells in column B
to say "Tuesday" instead of 4/19/07.

work for me. Any help? Tag: amortization tables Tag: 142089

updating DATEDIFF arguments in formula
Hi.
I have a column of dates, and at the bottom, I want to calculate the
number of days between the first and last dates. I' using the formula
=(DATEDIF(B6,B15,"d"))
The problem is that as I add dates, I have to edit the formula to
change B15 to the reference of the new row (e.g., B16, B17, etc.). Is
there any way to make this work like other formulas do when you add
rows? Alternatively, is there another way to accomplish this
calculation that will update automatically?

Use worksheet number instead of name in formulas
Good morning everybody,
I have looked through a few groups and I haven't been able to find
what I need to do, so here goes:
is there a standard function/formula that allows you to reference the
work sheet number rather than the worksheet name when referencing a
cell in a different worksheet than you are currently in?
i.e.:
instead of this: "='My worksheet name'!A1"
do this: "=sheet(1)!A1"
If there is no standard, then I will just make the VBA, but no use
doing that if it is not necessary

Excel is giving me zeros
Excel is giving me zeros. I'll put in a formula that very obviously
should give a non-zero result, but the cell says "0". I tried
different simple formulas, even just =93=3Df8+f9=94, but the result is 0.
The source cells have numbers entered into them. I checked formatting
of the formula cell and of the source cells. I tried different

0.

Excel 2007 Question
I want to bring data into an excel 2007 worksheet that is stored in a sql
database table.
The idea is to parameterize the "where" clause in the sql select statement
limiting the result set.
There are lots of examples in the literature with regard to bringing in data
stored in cubes --- but not so much from data in sql table.
The basic issue is I want bring in descriptive information about say a
contract (things like description, signing date, etc). Cubes which most
(all) of the literature deals with are dealing with aggregations of amounts
or "measures" and not so much about descriptions.
As always all suggestions are welcome.

Macro
I'm trying to do up a line chart based on a table on 'Project Summary Report'
sheet. I recorded a macro and Excel generated a series of codes as follows:
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Project Summary Report").Range( _
"A1:C4"), PlotBy:=xlColumns
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Delete
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
"='Project Summary Report'!R2C1:R4C1"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = _
"='Project Summary Report'!R2C1:R4C1"
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:= _
"Project Summary Report"
The values on the active sheet are actually generated from a query in Access
2003 and are automated to be displayed on an Excel spreadsheet. In other
words, the query result set can get bigger.
An example: 1st row indicates the column names "A", "B", "C" while 1st
column indicates the rows "1", "2" and "3"
----A-------B--------C-----
1---Week--Target--Actual
2---1-------3---------3-----
3---2-------3---------4-----
4---3-------4---------5-----
My question is does the range that is generated from
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Project Summary Report").Range( _
"A1:C4"), PlotBy:=xlColumns
vary accordingly?
Do I have to declare a variable say, 'rowCount' as
worksheet1.UsedRange.Row.Count so that a variable range can be defined?
Same applies for
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Delete
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
"='Project Summary Report'!R2C1:R4C1"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = _
"='Project Summary Report'!R2C1:R4C1"
Do I have to declare a variable for the range of SeriesCollection(1).XValues?

Cannot save Excel files to certain folders !!
Has anyone else observed the anomaly of NOT being able to save a file to a
folder because of the folder name syntax?
In our company, we adopted a convention, many years ago, of using square
brackets, such as "[" and "]", when naming certain hard disk folders. For
example, "[ System ]" or "[ Dump ]" or "[ Shared ]" or "[ General ]" or "[
Library ]".
This convention allowed us to give certain folders visual precedence by
displaying them at the top of the directory listing when viewed in Windows
Explorer and in application 'Open' dialogs. The square brackets also set
the name visually apart. This convention also helped remove folders that
would have otherwise been alphabetically interspersed amongst other
unrelated folders. As such, the remaining folders, of a similar relation,
were also kept together.
This convention is perfectly legal within Windows. The naming of folders,
using the square brackets, does not generate any error messages or syntax
corrections. However, it does create a problem when trying to save new
Excel worksheets to such a folder! A new worksheet CANNOT be saved to any
folder with a pathname that includes square brackets.
Another irony is that you can open an existing worksheet form such a folder
and save it, after making changes, but you cannot save a new or 'Save As'
worksheet in any such location. I suspect this relates somehow to the Excel
convention of referencing cells in another worksheet by enclosing the
worksheet name in square brackets.
Either way, it has been a serious problem for us because this hard disk
folder naming convention is so widespread in our small company. FIRST, it
is extremely frustrating. SECOND, Excel should allow access to any file
saved in a folder created following proper Windows Vista naming conventions.
THIRD, we certainly consider this a BUG, or at best, a very serious
oversight by Microsoft. FOURTH, it should be an embarrassment that a user
cannot save a Microsoft application file to a Microsoft operating system
folder, especially when they have followed proper naming conventions.
FIFTH, we fear this could also happen if the users use other special
characters as part of their naming convention.
Has anyone noticed this problem and what is the chance of Microsoft
correcting this issue? Tag: amortization tables Tag: 142059
Older worksheet size
I have several older worksheets. Each one has a corresponding macro
(xlm) sheet. They are set up so that when a worksheet is opened, the
macro sheet opens in the background (hidden).
I want each worksheet to be the same size that exists when I save the
file. Then, later when the file is opened, it goes from the size I
gave it to a full screen window.
The macro sheet has an Auto.Start command. It reads:
=ECHO(FALSE)
=Custom() ( This is a special set of commands for the worksheet )
=CALCULATION(1,FALSE,,,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE)
=RETURN()
What is making the file grow in size? AND how do I change it?

Closing Excel 2007
It seems to me that the behaviour differs depending upon the existance of files in the XLSTART folder: if that folder is empty, Excel closes correctly; if you have a PERSONAL.XLSB or similar file in the XLSTART folder then Excel doesn't close with the last workbook - presumably because the hidden workbook is the last workbook and that book isn't closed yet?

New problem opening Excel from Windows file folder
This problem just started. When I double click an Excel file from a file
folder I get an error window that pops up that says can't find file. It
keeps saying that several times and then it finally opens the file.
Apparently if the folder name has any spaces in it Excel attempts to look
for a file from that link and each space in the folder name it stops to
check that until it makes its way through the entire folder name. For
example my folder address looks like this: Y:\SAP\SOX\2008 IT
Testing\excel.xls. So excel is evaluating that folder name and each space it
thinks is the end of the address. The error boxes appear and I just keep
hitting OK and eventually the file opens. It never used to do this. Did I
click something inadvertantly? Has anyone ever experienced this?

Pivot Changes when refreshed with the same data
Hello ,
I am just not able to find out why my data is changing.
I had created a Pivot from a dataset. The numbers matched. I saved
it. When I opened the pivot after a couple of days , I added a
conditonal FLAG column in the dataset so that I could bring that
condition to the Pivot. I only refresh the Pivot to get the new
variable name added, however most of the data changes, I do not why.
Numbers are intact, and fearing I would lose the effort I do not save
it. I close it and open the original file. When I double click on any
cell of column I get around 80 rows. When I refresh it and double
click on the same cell on the pivot I get 160 rows. Now how is this
possible ? is it because I added a column in the data set ? Say
Columns A to G are in the data set. I saw column E blank so I added my
conditional flag in there so that I do not have to again change the
range. Is it because of this ? Now how do I get it back or is there a
work around this ? Do I need to start all over again :(((

Excel 2007 compatibility mode + Vista offline files = broken?
Problem: (the short-short-short version):
Environment: Win2k3 SP2 file-server, Vista SP1 clients, AD domain with
roaming profiles. Office 2007 SP1 is installed. Offline files is enabled on
a share by group policy.
Steps to reproduce: A pre-existing excel 2003 file is present on a share
that is available offline. A user WITH A ROAMING PROFILE is logged into a
vista client (yes, the roaming profile seems to make a difference)
1) Right click on the file, view properties, hit the offline files tab. The
file is online.
2) Now open the file in excel 2007. Observe that Excel opens the
file in compatibility mode. Right click on the file again, check status,
and
the file is OFFLINE.
3) Make a change and close the file (saving the change.) Check file status.
Still offline. Wait a half-hour. Check again. STILL OFFLINE (not even
background syncing!)
There are two problems as I seem them:
1) Another user can open an already open file WITHOUT A WARNING that the
file is in use. Excel 2003 used to warn that the file could be opened
read-only. Compatibility mode SHOULD be emulating this behavior (or it
isn't really compatible!)
2) Even if problem #1 isn't resolved, it is unreasonable to expect end-users
to manually sync after opening and closing a file.
Bottom line, upgrading to Office 2007 killed a feature we rely on in our
environment. Office 2003 didn't have this problem. Excel 2007 with native
.xlsx doesn't have this problem. It seems to be a bug in Excel 2007's
compatibility mode. Thoughts?

Aggregating Data in Fifteen Unopened Spreadsheets into Single
I have a series of 15 spreadsheets, all having the same column
structure. They all have the same filename barring first two letters
which refer to a persons initials. The 15 files are stored in the
same directory. In that directory I'd like to create a sixteenth file
which consolidates much of the data in the 15 files. I want to use
that consolidated data in a pivot table. I know that the top-left-
hand-corner of the range I want within each of the 15 spreadsheet
files is the Cell A10. I cannot be so precise with the bottom right
hand corner (BRHC) as the number of rows is variable in each of the
fifteen sheets. I know that the BRHC is in column S (if that
helps). Additionally, within each of the 15 files there is around 25
rows of data below the BRHC which I do not want to insert into the
consolidated file.
Can anyone give me pointers as to the easiest way that I can create
the sixteenth file, without having any blank rows in that consolidated
file.
Ideally without the hassle of having to open the 15 files.

Weird result when printing from macro on one system
Maybe someone can help shed some light on this. In Excel 02 (SP3) we
have a macro that runs that highlights the selected fields (based on
some radial buttons that the user elects) and then it executes:
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=2
On 12 of 13 machines it executes perfectly, you get two identical
sheets printed out of your default printer.
The problem, 1 machine which appears to be setup identical to all the
others (including the printer and the print driver) does print the
*second* copy correctly. Regardless of the printer the job is sent to
(including acrobat writer) the first copy always comes out okay, but
the second copy the radial buttons and highlighting get screwed up and
you get a somewhat unreadable copy as sheet two.
To me it just doesn't make any sense as to why this would happen. But
maybe someone here knows just the right tweak to get me back on track.

OH %Chg = % chg from Prior Year (Don't have access to Original Data for a
certain Period of Time)
Deptnum = Department #
DeptName = Department Desc
CatName = Category Name (where different sets of deptnums are grouped)
The problem I am having is it doesn't seem to cross check the math.
I have a pivot table to display the OH$ , I then have 2 cols on the same
work sheet that calculates the prior years OH$
but when I cross check it doesn't seem to be right.
Col B (Calculated) has the following formula =G3/(1-(C3)*-1)
Col C = Contains the OH %CHG for each Dept/Cat for that week
COL D (Begins Pivot Table) = Contain Category Name
COL E = DeptNum
COL F = DeptName
COL G (Being Data) = Date on Column headers, and value of Inventory Level
The Problem occurs which I cross check the math.
COL A Contains =SUM(B3:B13)
If I summarize(COL A) the value in the range for each category (All Deptnum
in Category A for example it doesn't match)
am I doing something wrong Mathematically or is the data possibly bad? See
below for data sample
The issue is $104,007 with a (21.9)% chg = $133,182 not $126,785 the sum of
the individual changes
I have confirmed thet query data matches the database data
Thanks for any Help

Currency Settings
I have created a report using VBA and Excel OLAP cube. Some of the
metrics on the report are currency numbers and are to be reported in
USD so I have formatted them accordingly using format ( e.g. "$
#,##0.00"). Some of the users in Germany who use decimal (.) as
separator between numbers are not able to see the format correctly. I
hope they use comma in place of decimal and decimal in place of
commas
as we normally do. Also other users in Europe see Pound or Euro sign
instead of dollar. My report is being used in many geographies and I
have to use $ which every body should be able to see.
Any suggestions? Tag: amortization tables Tag: 141978
Copy formula without changing references [Excel 2007]
Hello!
In my Workbook I have many cells with data validation settings as follows:
Allowed data: List
Source: =INDIRECT(L9)
Now, I`d like to change the source formula to the following:
=IF(M9="P";INDIRECT(L9);R11:R21)
When I check the option "Make changes in every cell with the same
settings", Excel does it, but it also adjusts the cell references"
Is there a way to automatically change the formula in every cell with
the same settings, but leaving the formula untouched?
The formulas to be changed are not next to each other, they are located
throughout the Workbook, in several worksheets, in hundreds of cells, so
the copy/paste option wouldn`t make me happy.
I tried "Find and Replace", but Excel doesn`t find the data to be
changed. I use polish version of the software, so it might be, that some
translations I made, are not accurate.
Thanks in advance

Data Validation Lookup List from Another File
Hi,
Without duplicating the cell contents in the current spreadsheet (call
it Template), is there anyway to have a dropdown list of items
(starting in cell T38 and going down to T45) from another file
([Price_List.xls]License_Only!C2 to C whatever row which will change).
Then, when the item is selected from the list in T38, lookup the cell
to the left in row D of Price_List.xls and put it in S38.
The reason I don't want to duplicate the cell contents in the current
spreadsheet is because the file will be way too large to deal with.
I hope that explains it well enough
Thanks for any help you can offer.

xlsm macros
Macros in XL 2007 xlsm spreadsheets that have passwords do not run. Msg says
to re-open and enable the macros at the security prompt however the prompt
does not have an "enable" option.
Searched MS help etc and found a reference indicating that this occurs if a
virus s/w pkg does not scan encrypted macros.
i use norton 360. Checked with Symantec and they indicate nothing to
set/unset in N360 - no answer.
problem exists whether N360 is enabled or disabled - makes no difference.
If I remove the password the macros work.
I'm thinking my only option is to run without the password but perhaps put a
digital signature on the spreadsheet.
any other ideas?

underline in row not repeating
It seems as if my bottom of the cell outline is not repeating on subsequent
pages. I have a few header rows on a sheet. The bottom row has a bottom
line. I'm talking about cell outlines, not underlining of words in the cell.
Anyway, I've told the print option to repeat the first 3 rows on following
pages but the bottom outline does not seem to repeat. How can I fix this?
Thanks,

zoom preview
Is there any way to zoom more than just 2 states (in and out) in an Excel
2003 preview? In so many programs there's a % option but not in Excel. Very
sad indeed and very frustrating. I'm wondering if there's some hidden
setting that I don't know about. Tag: amortization tables Tag: 141959
