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

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!!!

Create a macro with a list
Hi Experts:
I would like to build a macro with the List for multiple individuals that
will then enter the data from the List to the Summary Worksheet in the same
Workbook. This is the example of what I want to do....
List Sheet
John Jones in Column A....123456 in Column B...ABCDF in Column C and 90.05%
in Column D
Put that data on the Summary Worksheet in Columns B, C, D & E
I would also like to remove the % sign in Column D
Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate any assistance you can
provide. I'm working on a new reporting document that is using VLOOKUPs....a
lot of them every month....I think the Macro would be more efficient, but I
need your help to build on.
Thank You,

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?

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 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. Thanks Tag: excel Tag: 505957

Function/Formula Question
Example:
I have a drop-down in A1 with 5 options (A, B,C,D,E)
I need to be able to have a formula that looks at A1, and if it's value is
"A" (from the drop-down) then place a "1" into cell B1.
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

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

and asks you for Body details. Finally it changes again and asks for Engine
Size.

Summing a Column - Net and Absolute Values
I've got a column of positive and negative numbers that I want to total in
two ways :
- net - ie just natural addition which I can do with the SUM formulae
- absolute - ie the total being based on an assumption that all numbers are

Logical Test
I have extracted text data format thus i cant perform any maths calculation
on the data. 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?
