    - IF Function with ISBLANK Hello, I'm hoping someone can figure this out. I am trying to add a value to B1 using the following: I started out with =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",8) A1 will either be blank or contain a date. As an example I want to change the above so that if I enter in A1 the date of May-7x the the value in B1 will return a 4. And if I enter the date of May-7z into A1 then the value returned in B1 should be 8. So to summarize, B1 should either be blank, contain a 4 or contain an 8. I think the key is that I need to define a wild card (if possible) to look for either the 'x' at the end of the date to bring back '4' or a 'z' at the end of the date to bring back an '8'. Its a bit confusing to explain, hopefully you can understand. -Thanks Tag: VALIDATION Tag: 505763

    - problem summing columns with dates I have a table where I am summing columns containing date information. The table looks like: E F G years months days 1 2 9 0 5 6 29 0 0 0 6 2 total 32 2 0 the years, months, days information is found by the following formulas that Pete_UK showed me last week (thanks again Pete the formulas they work great). FYI (A9 is beginning date mm/dd/yyyy and C9 is ending date mm/dd/yyyy years - =DATEDIF(A9,C9,"Y")+IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"YM")+IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"MD")>=14,1,0)>10,1,0) months - =IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"ym")+IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"md")>=14,1,0)>=9,0,DATEDIF(A9,C9,"ym")+IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"md")>=14,1,0)) days - =IF(DATEDIF(A9,C9,"md")>=14,0,DATEDIF(A9,C9,"MD")) The problem I am now encountering is this: When the days column >=15 days I am to add 1 to months and then return 0 in 'days total' or >=45 days then add 2 and then return 0 in 'days total', else return sum total of column C; then when the months column is >=9 then add 1 to year and return 0 unless the total months is between 13 & 16 then you would add 1 to year and return the difference between the total months-12 (you would then repeat this process for each multiple of 12 months (add 2 years and then return months; if total months are between 9 and 12 you return 0 to months total) or if total months is < 8 then return sum of months column I have shown, in the example above, what the total should look lilke but have been unable to get it. This really has me stuck. Thanks for any help LAMP Tag: VALIDATION Tag: 505746

    - some worksheet columns don't update formula calculations I have a worksheet where my sheet 1 is taking numbers from sheet 2 and 3 and then using those numbers from sheet 2 and 3 to make calculations sum formulas that I've inserted. Some of the columns work fine, when I make a change to a cell 4, column 4 in sheet 2, I notice the numbres change in sheet 1 and reflect the changes I made to the cell in sheet 2, but some other columns don't work in sheet 2. For example when I make a change to cell 4 in column 5, the numbers on sheet 1 don't reflect the change I made. The formula's on sheet 1 are correct and are pointing to sheet 2. The only way the calculation works on sheet 1, is that if I click on sheet 1 where the cell pointing to cell 4 in column 5 for sheet 2 is and then hit enter. Any idea's why that is happening on certain columns but not others? Tag: VALIDATION Tag: 505682

    - Goal Seek Goes Haywire I am using Goak Seek in a macro to calculate the interest rate needed on a cash flow to hit a known amount. Below shows the problem I'm having in some of the 60 columns I'm using. Evetually this will be 121 columns. In each year I need to find the ROR such that the sum of each year's Cash Flow at the ROR to the power of the number of years remaining equals the Target Amount. In the first row is the "To Value" AKA the "Set Cell". The second row is the "guess" for the rate. Goal Seek will be using that as the "By Changing Cell". The last number at the bottom of the colum is the sum of the Cash Flow at Interest. Each cash flow in a column is being calculated as: Cash Flow * ((1 + Current Year) ^ Remaining Years In the three examples below, the first and third are fine. The question is why does the middle one go haywire? Is there a better method than Goal Seek for this?

    - SUMPRODUCT or another function??? Hi All, I am at my wits ends trying to do some excel magic so after days trying to figure this out myself I have turned to here in desperation.. I am hoping someone can tell me if I am on the right track or point me in the right direction. What I have is a large amount of raw data split across a number of worksheets. It clinical data so I can't post here, but essentially the first sheet contains a doctors name and a request number plus other misc data.. The second , third, fourth etc worksheets contains specific information about a type of examination.. These subsequent worksheets do not contain the doctors name, but only contain the request number and patient related details.. I want to count how many times a a doctor has performed examination X and examination Y and so on by matching the request numbers in the first sheet to the request numbers in the second,third, fourth etc worksheet.. I figured this would be possible by using sumproduct but have had absolutely no luck getting this to work.. So as an example I have the following data in sheet 1 and sheet 2 Sheet 1 A B Paul 1 Fred 2 Joe 3 Michael 4 Paul 5 Paul 6 Paul 7 Paul 8 Fred 9 Joe 10 Michael 11 Joe 12 Sheet 2 Patient data 3 Patient data 5 Patient data 6 Patient data 7 Patient data 10 Patient data 12 I have used the sumproduct function as follows =SUMPRODUCT((A:A="Paul")*(B:B=Sheet2!B:B)) and I get 0 as an answer which I don't understand.. In the first worksheet i figured it would check that the first column had "Paul" in it and then check whether entries in column b matched between both sheets... Is sumproduct the right function to use considering the size/number of rows in each sheet can differ dramatically? or is there another function that give me the answers I want?

    - Which function do I use? I have long lists of orders which I can easily sort but what I would like to do next is choose a column (e.g. order number) and have just the first occurrence of each number returned. Everyone here seems to think that they know how to do this but no one has got as far as proving it yet. Cheers -- I started with nothing and I still have most of it left Tag: VALIDATION Tag: 505603

If you give a few details about what has stopped working, and what you
did with autofill, someone may be able to suggest a solution.

If the dropdown arrows have stopped appearing, there are some possible
causes and fixes here:
