Can I use conditional formatting to scale a display value?
I have a value in a cell, I would like to display the value directly with a
text modifier if it is above a certain threshold or display a scaled value
with a different text modifier if it is below a threshold. I use the value
in a different calculation so I don't want to change the value of the cell,
only the way it displays.
Examples:
If the value is time:
.5 should read as "4 hours" while 2 should read as "2 days"
If it was money:
.5 should read as "50 cents" while 2 should read as "2 dollars"

I want to pull the name from list 1 and place it in column e if the number
in list 2 column d falls in the range in list1 columns d&e
I have this formula working to an extent
=SUMPRODUCT(--($E$9:$E$13>=$D19),--($D$9:$D$13<=$D19)*($C$9:$C$13))
This returns a #value error.
if I do some checking and modify list 1 to add a unique number in column f
=SUMPRODUCT(--($E$9:$E$13>=$D19),--($D$9:$D$13<=$D19),$F$9:$F$13)
It returns the correct unique number.....
So I figure the problem is returning the text??
Changing the forumla to this
=SUMPRODUCT(--($E$9:$E$13>=$D19),--($D$9:$D$13<=$D19),$C$9:$C$13)
does not work as it returns all 0.

How to send Excel selection using Live Mail
I have been using Outlook Express until this month, and have been sending
information from a selected range in an Excel worksheet to a number of people
every month. I don't want to send the entire (large) worksheet as an
attachment, but my "Mail Recipient" function has apparently been disabled
since installing Windows Live Mail. The only "mail" option I see remaining
is to mail the entire document as an attachment, which really isn't an option.
Since I send this information out to about 50 recipients each month, and
each recipient has different data, it's been tedious enough already. But
now, I'm looking for a way to send the data using Windows Live Mail without
having to cut and paste all afternoon.
If there is a way to efficiently do this using a Macro, that would be even
better...

Copy Paste Wierdness

Excel slow to save to network drive
I am trying to troubleshoot a machine that is running XP Pro and Office
2003. It is extremely slow to save files to a network drive with Excel.
Word is somewhat slow, but Excel is really bad. For example, it takes
almost 60 seconds to save a 175K Excel file. The server is in the same
building. I took a laptop down and plugged into the same ethernet hub
and opened and saved the same file. It took only 3-4 seconds. The
network in that office is somewhat slow, but still, there must be a
problem with the machine taking 60 seconds to save. The problem doesn't
seem to occur with local files.
What could be causing this?

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme", DrawingObjects:=True, _

Unprotects the sheet, does the spellcheck then reprotects the sheet.
"justme" can be changed to your password.

Difference between two dates with if statements
I'm a beginner...Please help
Dates are inputted in column M or H; but sometime dates are not required in
M and H which would leave it blank (if date is in column M there will not be
a date in column H and vice versa);
Cell B1 should always prompt today's date (=today())
I need column N to calculate days between them
example: B1=05/08/08 M=05/21/08 N should = 13
But if there's nothing in M and H it returns -39576
In that case I need "0" to be inputted verses -39576
and when B1 is greater then M/H column
I need the return to be "Past due "number of days between the dates"
Hope this makes sense.

Revealing the related pivot data

can't?
