    - 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: Date Formula help 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: Date Formula help Tag: 770143

    - Request Hi all. I was wondering if any of you fine excel guru's would fancy taking a look at an Excel book for me and let me know if you could change something. I have a program in excel that creates a rota card for offshore workers. Typically we work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off ( some 2 on and 3 off). Our rota will change to 2 weeks on and 3 weeks off and I would like to change the VBA to make the program do this new rota. To me, this is an extremely complicated VBA as I manage to muster through VBA with basics. If anyone could or would like to help, could you email me at woody26775@yahoo.co.uk and I can email a copy of it to you. Apologies if i am wrong in doing this, just looking for some help.

    - Hiding Results of Answers for a Quiz Hi, Looking for some help here please. I currently have a quiz set up, with simple questions in the A Column. The delegate places their answer in the B Column, and the C Column then states whether it is correct or not. Used the following formula : =IF(B2="A","CORRECT",IF(B2="","",IF(B2="B","INCORRECT"))) What I need, is for the formula to only be applied once the delegate indicates that they are finished the whole test. (i.e. clicks a cell marked as a "Finished" button). I need to know 2 things: 1. How to set up a cell like a "finished" button for example. 2. How to get the formula not to apply until the finished button has been selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Tag: Date Formula help Tag: 770126

    - Scheduleing Employee Twice I just recently posted with a question about a formula to not be able to schedule an Employee if they requested a day off, and it worked great. Thanks to T. Valko. They gave me the formula =MATCH(A3,B$5:B$23,0) to assist on my question. I was wondering if I need to use the same basic formula for my next problem area. I have tried using it, but to no prevail. Question: In cell B4:B23 I have a list of all the Employees for that DAY SHIFT and what times they come in, as well the position they work. (a drop down menu is in use to select employee names) In cell H4:H23 I also have a list of all the employees for that NIGHT SHIFT what times they come in, as well as position they work. (a drop down menu is in use to select employee names) I would like to know if there is a way to prevent a user from scheduleing the same employee twice in a day in two different positions. We have had problems in the past where the Manager scheduled an employee twice in the same day, and we were left short handed. Of course we have some employees work between shifts so they are oviously going to be on both shifts; as well as splits. (no problem there is it shows that we have an employee scheduled twice in that sense). Tag: Date Formula help Tag: 770066

    - macros help... I have a vertical list of 4 digit numbers that I want to add a zero(0) to the beginning of the number. For example a number might be 3324 and I want to add a 0 to the left of the 4 digits to end up looing like 03324. The problem is this: This vertical list of numbers is almost 1200 lines deep. Some of the numbers in this list are already 5 digits, whcih is what I want. I need every number on each line to be 5 digits long. I did create a macro to add the 0 to the 4 digit number, then drop down to the next line, but when I run the macro again for the next line, it changes the number on the next line to the same number on the line above. I want to be able to start in a cell, hit Ctrl G and have it add a 0 to the 4 digit number in that cell, then drop down a line and allow me to hit Ctrl G to do the same thing to the 4 digit number in that particular cell. The left column in the spreadsheet looks like this: 2345 2365 2476 2490 And when I get through I want it to look like this: 02345 02365 02476 02490 What it is doing now is this: 02345 02345 02345 02345 It's changing each number in each row to look exactly like the number in the first row. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I used to use Lotus 123 and did not have this kind of problems. Thanks in advance for any advise or solutions. Tag: Date Formula help Tag: 770049

    - Form behind cell entries Good afternoon -- I would like to use Excel as a simple database, so that other users can fill out forms. Rather than retyping and formatting the form in Excel (or requiring them to print out a blank copy and reinsert it into the printer) I'd like to paste a picture of the form, perhaps making it transparent, and then writing code to fill the appropriate cells with the appropriate info. So -- can I paste (for example) an IRS W-9 tax form into Excel, making the blank parts transparent so I can align the boxes with Excel cells? I have pdf's, but can convert into other formats if needed. Thanks in advance. Tag: Date Formula help Tag: 770011

I've created a workbook to record how many hours I spend working on various projects. The workbook consists of a sheet for every week of the year and a totals sheet. The weekly sheets feed into the totals sheet via SUMIF formulas. The projects all have a unique code which are listed on the totals sheets and are entered on each week sheet if I work on that project in that particular week. On the totals sheet I have a column to enter how many hours are allocated to each project and a column which compares this number to the total hours worked on that project. This is where the anomaly lies. I have entered some test data. I have listed 5 project codes on the totals sheet and in week 1 I've entered those 5 codes and have allocated 2 hours to each project. The totals sheet is showing a total of 2 hours against of the projects - so far so good. If I enter "3:00" into the "Hours allocated" column for each row my "Hours remaining" column shows "1:00" against each project. Similarly, if I allocate 1 hour then the formula in the "Hours remaining column shows "Job over by 1 hours". Perfect. The problem arises when the hours allocated and the hours worked are the same. In this example when I enter "2:00" into the "Hours allocated" column some of the rows show "0:00" (which is what I would expect" ) but some show "Job over by 0:00 hours"! I have checked and double checked and all the relevant cells have the same formulas and are formatted the same - what could be wrong? Just to test, in a spare column I entered the formula =IF(C3-F3, "yes", "no") - column C is Hour allocated and column F totals data from the weekly sheets. The rows which show "0:00" return "yes" to this formula and the rows which show "Job over by 0:00 hours" return "no". I really don't have a clue how to fix this so any help would be greatly received.

    - Question regarding Dates I receive reports weekly and I am creating a receipt log. When I receive the report I enter the date I received it. My date has to be setup as d-mmm-yyyy. I create the year 2008 daily on another worksheet and name it Year2008. In each cell, C2:BB19, I have a list with every day of the year of 2008, "Year2008". I also have conditional formatting referring to cells C1:BB1, Weekly dates. If the dates from C2:BB19 don't match, then, if early the cell turns yellow, and if late the cell turns orange. In the event that within a report, not the day I received the report, but what is actually in the report gives me a late information, I want to select a special date, for instance, *d-mmm-yyyy, rather than d-mmm-yyyy. Therefore I can create another condition where if there is a "*" before the date then the cell will turn red. I want to add another 2008 year to my already 2008 year except with someway of refering to something late in the report i received, like the *. My problem is, as far as I know, I can't create a date that is recognized as *d-mmm-yyyy. This may be as easy as creating another d-mmm-yyyy for 2008 and then inserting the *. But, I don't know how. Help? Thank you. Tag: Date Formula help Tag: 769981

I am trying to calculate the number of days in a time period excluding
Sundays,
(i.e., 2/29/08 minus 2/23/08 = 5 )

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

The correct result is 6.

A1 = 2/23/2008
B1 = 2/29/2008

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&B1)),2)<7))

=B1-A1-SUM((WEEKDAY(A1-1+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&TRUNC(B1-A1)+1)))=1)*1)

This is an array formula and must be entered with CNTRL-SHFT-ENTER rather
than just the ENTER key.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2)))<>1))

will return a count of all the days from and INCLUDING A1 and A2 that are not
Sundays.

To exclude the starting date, merely subtract 1 from that value:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(WEEKDAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2)))<>1))-1
