    - Database function criteria In Lotus 1-2-3, you are no longer tied to a criteria range. You can embed a formula in the criteria field. For example, if I have a database named Calendar with columns titled: Number Name Weeks I can create a function like =DGET(calendar,"name",number=4). This eliminates the necessity of creating criteria ranges. Is such a thing possible in Excel? Art Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good.. Tag: 506010

    - Pivot Table Calculated Field using Grand Total I have a pivot table of sales data. I need to have a calculated field that gives me my sales mix. In an excel cell the formula would be =(2007%of Revenue)*(total2008Sales$) I have fields in the current PT that give me the % of revenue, and the sales numbers, but I do not know how to tell the PT how to find the total 2008 sales number (not just the sum of sales for that specific catagory) Hope this is clear... thanks Diane Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good..

    - Formula Errors / #Value! I made a template with my formulas and I have some lines that I need to put zero's in so I won't get #VALUE! where my formula is. For example: J16*K17 is the formula for L17. I have to put zeros in my J & K columns if I'm not using them or my L17 shows #VALUE! The first 5 or so lines do it but then the rest are fine. The other L cells just have zeros until I put in the figures that I want in the J & K. If I'm doing a quote and don't use all the lines, I get these errors on the unused ones. Hope I'm not being too confusing! Help!!! -- Mary Lou Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good.. Tag: 505998

    - Odd result when copying functions Usually, to post in this NG, I copy formulas from the function bar and paste them into a message here. However, IF I (in Excel 2007) Select Show Formulas Enter <alt-ENTER> into the formula so it will split over two lines in the function bar Copy the formula from the CELL (and not from the function bar) the result is as below: "=MID(A1,FIND("","",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1), SUBSTITUTE(A1,"" "",CHAR(1),2))-FIND("","",A1)-2)" If I copy the same formula from the function bar, then: =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1), SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1),2))-FIND(",",A1)-2) I might have thought this was by design, except that without the <alt-ENTER>, copying from the cell does NOT result in the quoting and double-quoting: =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1),2))-FIND(",",A1)-2) Is this a bug? If so, can someone report it to the appropriate people? --ron Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good.. Tag: 505967

    - Looking Up the Answer by Row and Column I'm so new to excel that even though I know how to create some functions, I do not know the terminology, so I don't even know what to ask to get my answer. Bear with me. Imagine a table: Down the leftmost column is "Apples" "Pears" "Oranges", and across the topmost row is "Retail Price" "Quantity" "Our Cost". The rest of the table is filled with the appropriate numbers, so when i look at it I can easily see what "our cost" for "pears" is, or what the "quantity" of "oranges" are. But say I want it to be that easy for a spreadsheet user: Somewhere on the same worksheet I have two cells, one cell to enter the name of the fruit, the other cell to enter the property of the fruit (property may not be the right word). But the user enters "pears" in one cell and "our cost" in the other cell. The gears turn and out pops the appropriate response (say "$1.25") in another cell. How do I do that? Another table would be one that most of us remember seeing on maps: the distance between two cities. Along the left is listed a number of cities, and along the top is that same list of cities. To find the distance between "New York" and "Las Vegas" you simply had to finger across one city's row and down the other city's column until your fingers met and that was your answer. So how do I simply do this in excel if the user types in "New York" in one cell and "Las Vegas" in the other? Thanks. Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good.. Tag: 505961

    - Duplicate sheet, autonumber sheet, record data on another sheet Hi, I've had so much help in this forum over the last few days, i'm going to push my luck now. I have a master/template sheet, which needs to be copied, the new sheet autonumbered and certain data recorded. This is for quotes I have to give to customers on a daily basis. This is what i want to do: 1. First I want to be able to start on the template sheet everytime a new quote has to be opened. In this sheet is a field for document number. The new sheet has to add 1 to this number (initially) thereafter to the last sheet that was saved, in order to keep a sequence of quotes. How? What would be the simplist practical - to open a new sheet or workbook? If possible, I would want that new document number to become the tab name of the sheet. 2. Certain cells in every sheet need to be recorded in a different (summary) sheet where i can ceate a list with the details of clients we quoted for - say about 12 cells in every sheet need to be listed in columns.

    - Question on breaking on cell into three seperate I am currently searching for a method to do a similar formula in excel. I currently process around 120 students every 2 weeks into classroom databases. Currently when we recieve the spreadsheet, the names of students show as: last, first middle initial in cells A1-A120. I was wondering if there was a way to create a formula to break this cell down into three cells one for first, one for last and one for middle inital. Example... Smith, John C. would be in cell A1 How could this be broken down into three seperate cells B1, C1 and D1? I tried basing this off the above suggestions but peoples name have different lengths so I need a way to seperate them by commas and periods. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am trying to perform this without a formula residing in B1 because a calculation is being performed on the value of B1. If the formula is there and the value is displayed, the calculation fails because it sees the formula instead of the value. The formula I use to display the value is: =IF(A1="A","1",IF(A1="B","2",IF(A1="C","3",IF(A1="D","4",IF(A1="E","5"))))) But, I need the end result to be a number that can be a part of another calculation.

    - Lookup in dependent tables. I want to identify a unique part number for a light unit given that there are three variables associated with it. The variables are voltage, color, and steady/flashing. Each voltage has bulbs of different colors; each voltage and color has alternatives of steady or flashing. So I really need to 'nest' my lookups. However, I am not having any luck figuring out how to do it. The IF(AND ...) function looks likely, but I would have to make a very complicated formula. Seems I am making the atsk harder than I need to. In a way, I want to emulate the Online Autoparts application. When you have entered the Make (Ford Truck) the display changes and asks you for Year. Then it changes again and asks you for Body details. Finally it changes again and asks for Engine Size. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Thus i tried this logical test to convert the data into number. cell A cell B cell C cell D cell E Cell F 4101001 NET SALES/PRODUCTS 172.641 172 641 172,641 4102001 NET SALES/MERCHAND. 641 641 0 6410 Cell C should read as 172,641 and 641. Since the value is text format, firstly i tried to pull the interger from 172.641 and mod .641 and which later combine these two result into number and reads as 172,641. i write this formula on respective cells, Cell D =INT(+$"Cell C")*1 Cell E =IF(+$C7>1,(MOD(+$C7,1)*1000)) Cell F= =(+O7&P7)*1 note *1 in formula to convert the text to number somehow, if the value in cell C is only 641, the result in cell F is 6410. Anyone can suggest the solution for a formula to suit these 2 situation? thanks in advance 4102001 NET SALES/MERCHAND. 672 Tag: Excel drag down formula not working good.. Tag: 505828

hi,

i have a formula
=IF(E6="Casual",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L6,Types!D4:E14,2,0),IF(E6="Dress",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L6,Types!A4:B12,2,0)))

when i drag it down to the rest of the cells i want only E6 to become E7 and grow each time i drag the formula down.

the problem is when i drag the formula down it becomes like this:
=IF(E7="Casual",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L7,Types!D5:E15,2,0),IF(E7="Dress",VLOOKUP('Product Detail'!L7,Types!A5:B13,2,0)))

everything grew by 1 number.

i tried putting $ signs before each letter but its not working for some reason.

can someone find a problem here in my fomula or excel, am i doing something wrong?

thanks for your time.

If you are dragging down and the numbers are growing, then you need to put
the $ sign before the *number*.
Putting the dollar sign before the *letter* will stop that growing when you
drag across.
Look up absolute and relative addressing in Excel help.
