    - Pick several numbers from a list to get as near as possible to required total I have a list of several hundred policies each with a different value. Occasionally I have a request to 'sell off' policies to a certain value. At the moment I manually select policies from the list till I get 'close enough' to the total. Is there a way of automating this and getting the closest result possible? To put numbers to my problem above, suppose I have the following 9 policies 1 $11,234.67 2 $604.50 3 $7,632.00 4 $5,638.76 5 $16,345.98 6 $23,678.43 7 $15,678.44 8 $1,007.17 9 $53,713.97 I get a request to sell of $54,500 worth, at a glance I would probably select policies 8 & 9 (totaling $54,721.14), where as infact policies 3, 4, 5, 6 & 8 would be a better choice as they total $54,302.54 All help would be much appreciated Gerry Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138815

    - 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: time line in chart 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'! A27,CMS2!A:A,FALSE))) Thanks for any suggestions. Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138810

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.

    - Match & Index function - Cell format problem that is keeping it from Hello - I am trying to use the Match and index functions together. Typically, I have been able to match and pull in the data without a problem. But now that I am using a text file that I export into excel, I am running into problems. Basically, the formula won't work (even though I have tried trimming the data, changing all columns to text, general, and number. The only way that the formula works is when I copy and paste the actual reference cell into the reference array from the range that I am seeking to pull in the data. So for example, my formula reads: =INDEX(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH(Sheet1! A419,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)), but the only way that I get the data from Sheet2 column B is by physically pasting Sheet1!A419 into column A in in Sheet 2. Then and only then will the values from Column B in sheet2 appear in Sheet 1-- as the formula is intended to do. Is anyone familiar with this problem? Does the function typically work better when the sheets are formatted as general, versus number, versus text? Thanks for any suggestions. (Also, another problem I am experiencing with the files----and it may be related-----is that the formulas will not work altogether. That is, any formula that I punch into the cell does not produce a value, but instead the cell shows the formula when I press enter. However, this I am usually able to fix by formatting the book as general and then retyping the formula in the cells). Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138657

    - Something New Excel 2003 SP2. I've been revising a workbook and came across an Excel quirk that's new to me. I haven't read about anything similar in the newsgroups. The workbook in question usually has all worksheets protected and the workbook protected, but I've unprotected the workbook and all worksheets and unhidden all but one worksheet. Some of the worksheets have embedded spaces in their names. There are no worksheet events, but there are workbook Open, Activate, Deactivate and BeforeClose events. There's also one udf, named HasFormula, that takes a Range object as its argument and returns TRUE/FALSE if the first cell in that range has a formula. I only use this udf in conditional formatting formulas. I'm editing formulas in one of the worksheets that's usually hidden. Call it Sheet C. The formulas were something like ='Sheet B'!X99 and I want to change them to =IF('Sheet B'!X99<>"",'Sheet B'!X99,'Sheet A'!C123) I edit the formula in a cell in Sheet C, inserting the 'IF(' at the beginning, copying the original cell reference in the formula bar, appending '<>"",', pasting the cell reference, and appending a comma. Then I press [F2] to change to Enter mode, repeatedly press [Ctrl]+ [PgUp] to move to 'Sheet A', move to cell C123 in that worksheet (now in Point mode), type a right parenthesis and then press [Enter]. Here's the quirk: Excel tries to enter the edited formula into 'Sheet A'!C123 rather than into the cell in Sheet C that I began editing. Fortunately, 'Sheet A'!C123 has a validation rule that rejects the formula. I should also mention that Sheet A has separate frozen panes, and C123 is in the lower, unfrozen pane. Has anyone else had Excel do this? I can work around it, so I'm not looking for an immediate fix, but this is definitely annoying. If there's an easy fix, I'd be grateful for any pointers.

    - Stopwatch in Excel I'm creating a spreadsheet for logging railway performance timings. I need a stopwatch in excel that can give a split / lap reading, preferably when the enter key is pressed.

Ideally, when the split button is pressed, it will give the split time and the difference from the previous split time in a new cell, so by the end I have a list of times. I will be able to use these to calculate average speeds etc. Thanks. Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138601

    - Venturing into date formulas... Do not know if this is possible, but believe all is possible given the right guidance... Have a worksheet and shall we say in column C there is a date Jan 1, 2008 Now in column E I would like it to take the date from column C and show the number of days left in a 2 year period from the original input date of 1/1/08 So basically when you input 1/1/08 it would show say 730 in E and if you change the date in C to February 1, 2008 it would show 699. Is this possible????? Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138594

    - suggestion I have numbers in a column and an example of the numbers in one cell is 0 -000-2108-000 My problem is that I want to remove the first numbers, or hide them or sort the cell such that 2108 is in front. The bottom line is that I want to sort the column by the 2108 number and do it in an automated way rather than going 640 cells down deleting the front numbers, because I will also need them later. Any suggestions? Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138591

    - Cell search & reporting Hi Is there a formula that would search one cell for a month and then search a range of other cells for a date and then look below and report into the formula cell what is reported possibly in a different colour depending on what is reported. e.g. A B C D E F G 1 Date 31â?¦Month Decemberâ?¦Year 2007 2 3 MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN 4 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 smith E E DO S E DO DO 6 jones DO N DO DO DO DO N 7 8 9 The cell in A9 would search cell B3 to find the month required, then would search cells A4 to G4 for the correct date e.g. recognise that the required date is the 3rd of january in cell D4. It would then look below in jones's line and report back S in red. Thanks in advance Jason Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138583

    - Saving All Documents when closing XL 2007 Hi All, I am upgrading to XL 2007 from 97 and having a problem which sounds simple but is annoying as hell. I have as many as 150 XL files open at one time (all linked to one another) and with office 97 I would exit XL and then be prompted to either save the files one at a time or "yes to all". The "yes to all" option does not appear when I follow the saem steps in 2007, is there an option somewhere where I can enable this or has this feature been dropped?

    - Arrays, Dates & Blank Cells Folks, I'm struggling to resolve this Execl formula. I've got a workbook with 2 sheets: Summary and Source Data. The workbook is used a template so that data exported from another system can be copied and pasted into the Source Data sheet and the Summary sheet will programmatically parse the data to provide the results that I am looking for. The Source Data sheet has a number of named ranges. My problem relates to the range named DATE (D2:D10000). This range contains dates formatted as "=DATE(2008,1,1)" for Jan 1, 2008 as an example. In virtually every case, there will be blank cells in the range since the data is less than 10K rows). The Summary sheet uses formulas to summarize the data contained in the Source Data sheet by month, category, and so forth. In cell $B$16, a numeral (1-12) is entered to specifiy the month for which the records in Source Data are to be summarized. I then use two formulas that examine the dates in the DATE range and provide the MIN and MAX date so the date range can be displayed. Here are the array formulas I am using to get these MIN and MAX dates: {=MIN(IF(MONTH(Date)=$B16,Date,"N/A"))} {=MAX(IF(MONTH(Date)=$B16,Date,"N/A"))} Here is my problem (assuming that the data in Source Data contains transactions from 01/01/08 through 03/06/08): When 1 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be 1-Jan-08) MAX returns 31-Jan-08 (correct) When 2 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 1-Feb-08 (correct) MAX returns 29-Feb-08 (correct) When 3 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 1-Mar-08 (correct) MAX returns 6-Mar-08 (correct) When 4 is entered in $B$16: MIN returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be N/A) MAX returns 0-Jan-00 (INCORRECT - should be N/A) I think that the blank cells in the DATE range are screwing me up but I am at a loss on how to check for them and also how to report N/A when the month in $B$16 represents no transactions in the Source Data sheet. Appreciate any advice. Thanks, David Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138574

    - Determine Which Columns Are Hidden with VBA I have a spreadsheet which will be used by individuals to update an Access database. The columns are locked, but I do allow them to hide columns to make the data more customized. Periodically they will refresh their data from the database. In order to avoid forcing them to reformat to their preference (and thus encourage them to refresh more frequently) I would like to determine which columns they have hidden so I can unhide, update/append the new data, then hide the columns again. The same information would be advantageous, though less so for the autofilter properties. I have tried in vain to look at the help files and have not found the correct text with which to search in this group to find the answer. Thanks in advance if you can help.

    - Cell formulas that expire after a month I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track progress over the period of a year. One sheet is raw data that is manually entered daily and one sheet is monthly statistics based on that data. In the statistics worksheet are cell formulas calculating statistics relating to each month based on the raw data. If I change the data in March, I don't want January's or February's statistics to be changed. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, PaulH Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138567

    - Excel 2007 Conditional Formatting problem I have a conditional format that works fine on the previous version of Excel, but not so well on 2007. It is a formula condition: =AND($D$13 = "N",LEFT($D$6,2) = "AP")=TRUE D13 is the cell with the conditional format in it and D6 is a drop down of items, some of which start with "AP" and some of which start with "GL". (Basically, I'm having D13 turn red when D13 has a value of "N" and D6 starts with "AP".) It works just fine if you are changing the value of D13. It doesn't work at all if you are changing the value of D6-- UNTIL you hit F2 on D13 (or otherwise enter the edit-cell mode). Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks.

    - Creating a Pivot Table using multiple ranges Using Excel 2007, how do you create a pivot table using multiple ranges? The option does not appear in the Create Pivot Table wizard. I thought I could use something like this: 'Page 1'!$A$6:$T$28805:'Page 2'!$A$6:$T$28805 ; but it wasn't accepted as a valid range. Thanks, Ross Tag: time line in chart Tag: 138560

I know this is too elementary, but go from here:
You have a scatter chart from A1:B6
(X A1:A6; Y B1:B6)
10 3
11 4
12 5
13 6
14 7
15 8
A 2nd source series is A8:B9
(X A8:A9; Y B8:B9)
13 0
13 6
giving you the a vertical line at X=13.
