    - Counting letters in a cell My formula is =LEN(A1) and copied down. Is there a variation of this formula to count just the letters in each cell without counting the spaces between words ?

    - Index vs % What's the difference between an index and percentage growth/decline? Example: Last year's volume was 158 vs 2006's volume of 97. If I divide 158 / 97 I get 162.9. Isn't that the same as 62.9%? Why would I use one over the other and if I decide I don't want it to read 162.9, just 62.9, how do I get that to happen? Thanks. Tag: Column headings Tag: 770320

    - Searching in 'variable' worksheets Hi, I'm a quite amatuer in Excel so I need a help in the following: I developed a spreadsheet with several worksheets named each by months of year. Each monthly sheet contains datas in same structures - they are daily production figures, losses etc. Now I want to make a separate worksheet which extracts these datas from any of the monthly sheets for a determined date - making a Daily Production Report. I guess the right function will be the VLOOKUP - I have no problem with using this function. But how can I define that it searches in the right monthly sheet? Secondly how can be this DailyProductionReport worksheet (only this) be sent to pre-defined mail-recipients? Any help would be much appreciated. FicsiPapa Tag: Column headings Tag: 770298

    - Pivot Table Calculation Hi there I have a worksheet which contains a list of the products we analyse each month and columns for the date the product was submitted for testing and the date the product was released from testing. I also have a cycle time column which is the number of days it took for the product to be released from the date it was submitted. I have created a pivot table from this data so I can look at individual (or groups) products to see how many were released each month (count of release month) and what the average cycle time for the testing was each month. What I need now is to calculate the average cycle time per product per month to use as a baseline however when I add a calculated field to the pivot table and create the formula "average cycle time"/"count release month" I get incorrect figures. For example, "average cycle time" = 8 days "count release month" = 4 products which should give me average cycle time / product of 2 days - I get something like 0.004. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong or whether it's possible to do this calculation in a pivot table? Thank you, Silena Tag: Column headings Tag: 770289

    - Can you determine if hyperlink points to empty folder? Our little cabana club uses Excel for our a photo id system. Each member household has a folder that contains photos for their family members. One column of the spreadsheet contains a hyperlink to each folder. i am trying to do something that requires me to know which folders are empty, and which folders contain at least one picture. Currently i am keeping track of this manually (putting an X the column next to the hyperlink if the folder is not empty.) This is time consuming and only as accurate as the last time i update this column. Also, it is possible i might put an X where it doesn't belong or omit one that does. So i was wondering if there was a way to automate this. Is there any function or macro, etc. that would automatically determine if the hyperlink points to an empty folder or not? -- Thanks for the help - Denise Tag: Column headings Tag: 770278

    - Variable range column summation and averaging Excel 2003 SP3 WinXP Pro SP2 Header in Row 1 Data starts in Row 2 I'd like to sum [SUM($Fx:$Fy)] a range of cells, n, in a column and obtain their averages [SUM($Fx:$Fy)/n]. My issue is that I'd like to vary the 'n' (cell range) by column so as to compare the fitness of any particular 'n' to another relative to my data and datapoints. So, I've manually setup 'n=4' and 'n=20' and 'n=21'. For n=20, each time I need to manually count the starting point for the summation because the previous 20 cells are blank. Then I need to change each column's 'x and y' [start and end rows] to reflect the new range. How can I setup the formula for the averages so I can just reference a value in, say, Row 1 or 2? Hence, I could have Row 2, Column F be '4' which would then propagate the general formula to start displaying at $F6 for the averages of SUM($F3:$F6)/4? The formula would need to know to start at Row 3 and continue adding through Row 6 and then divide by 4. (Note: Row '6' less Row '3' = 3 then add 1 and I get the value of 4 for the range, if you understand what I'm trying to say here.) I need the logic/formula for the IF(...) and the establish how to do the ROW starting and ENDING points relative to the quantity of datapoints to average. Maybe I'm not too sure how to test what ROW I'm on..... THANKS!!! Tom Tag: Column headings Tag: 770238

    - problem with zip codes and filter I'm trying to sort a spreadsheet by zip code and some zips show as "06901" and others show as "6901". When I sort for one I don't get the other. I tried to manually put a "0" before the the "6901" code and excel will not let me. Which is weird because it will allow it to be imported from another program like that. Is there some way I can format it to get the "0" to show in the column? Tag: Column headings Tag: 770162

    - Wrap text in merged cells VBA I have merged cells that need to wrap text. I used the VBA code several of you provided and it is working great for the most part. The problem I am running into is when I have more than one set of merged cells on the same row. I have applied text wrap to each of them. Let's say I type in several lines of text in the first merged cell unit and it wraps the text perfectly and auto fits the cell. However, if I type only a single line of text in the next merged cell unit in the same row, the whole row autofits to that single line and covers up my multiple lines of text that I just typed in the previous merged cell unit. Any suggestions on what may be the problem? If I need to try to explain further I will. Much thanks! Tag: Column headings Tag: 770156

    - Open Text Files in Excel, Changed Behavior For years I have opened text files in Excel using the right-click "Open With..." in Windows. The files opened without triggering the Import Text Wizard and were imported in one column. As of yesterday (without any apparent changes to Excel or Windows), this behavior changed. Now when text files are opened using "Open With...", Excel "figures out" where it thinks the columns breaks should be. (Again the Import Text Wizard is not triggered opening files this way.) I've searched for settings that determine how Excel opens text files by default, but found none. Any ideas on how to go back to right-click opening the "one-column" text files? Thank you, Patrick Tag: Column headings Tag: 770147

    - Help w/ calculating weekly Avg Hello, I am not sure what formula to use to calculate the weekly average, which is the range of the week data (Monday to Sunday). Example: date range from 2/4 to 2/10/08 week is the sum of data from 2/4 to 2/10 divided by 5 (weekday). Below is a sample of data and results I want to achieve. Data: Type1 Type2 WeekAvg Date ProdA ProdB ProdA ProdB ProdA ProdB 2/4/08 30 10 20 10 61 37 2/5/08 10 15 10 15 61 37 2/6/08 50 15 25 10 61 37 2/7/08 20 10 20 20 61 37 2/8/08 10 10 30 20 61 37 2/9/08 10 15 40 15 2/10/08 20 10 10 10 Result column: WeekAvg for ProdA = 61 (30+10+50+20+10+10+20+20+10+25+20+30+40+10) / 5 Result column: WeekAvg for ProdB = 37 (10+15+15+10+10+15+10+10+15+10+20+20+15+10) / 5 NOTE: 2/9 and 2/10 are weekend so does not need to show value.

    - Formula Help for Duplicate Entries I have a spreadsheet of 3000 contact names I am trying to assign these in the most "fair" fashion to account resps. My thought was to create a colum called "account_rep" I then put account_rep_name1 account_rep_name2 account_rept_name3 In, colum1,Row 1 account_rep_name1 colum1,row 2 account_rep_name2 colum2,row 3 account_rept_name3 colum1,row 4 account_rep_name1 colum1,row 5 account_rep_name2 colum2,row 6 account_rept_name3 the pattern continues respectively through the list to row 3000. However, what has happened is that there may be more than one account rep assigned to an account. For example in the list I have. account_rep_name1 Suzie Queen ABC Company account_rep_name2 Suzie Queen ABC Company account_rept_name3 Suzie Queen ABC Company so, I want to assign unique rep to the account the first time his name hits the account down the list. What is the best way to do this? Thanks, Robert Tag: Column headings Tag: 770143

The column headings in an Excel spreadsheet switched from letters (A,B,C,
etc.) to numbers (1,2,3, etc.) This happened in only one of my spreadsheets.
Why did this happen, and how can I change the columns back to letters?
