    - Linking and keeping total Column at the Bottom I am linking data in to a monthly report spreadsheet. For example, I will link 10 lines of data and then I have a "Total" row in line 11. I would like to know how I could keep the total row constant even if I link more than 10 lines at a a time. For example, if I have 12 rows that I am linking in a month, my "Total" row would be overwritten. How can I keep my "total" line the last line regardless of how many rows I link? Thanks. -- Bob Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497723

    - references I have a list of dates (consecutive weekdays - some holidays) in Column D in Sheet2. In sheet1, I have a reference to those days. For example in A3 I have the formula =Sheet2!D3 which displays the correct date. I'd like to copy the formula to every 7th cell in Column A in Sheet1. What's happening now is that the copied formula increments by 7 The formula copied into the cell A10 is "=Sheet2!D10". How can I force it to increment only by 1, so that it references the dates in Sheet2 correctly? Thanks Bert Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497707

    - simple If but not for me I have three columns in which contain amounts of inventories for certain items I need for my concession. An adjacent column would tell me how much to order. Ex. c5, d5 and e5 would have on hand amounts. g5 would tell me how much to order. I tried to make it simple by using f5 to add the amount from the three previous cell. So =if (f5=3,0,g5-f5) But with this I get 0 even when f5 is 2. Not every f5 would equal three. Each item on my list would have their own amounts that I would need to compare to and enter in column g. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497684

    - using IF to skip I am using =NETWORKDAYS(B23,B29)-1 as one of my formulas. I have the -1 because I am tracking several different time frames going from one place to another and without the -1 it is counting a day twice. I need this formula in every cell that has the days, but there won't be a time span every time. When there's no time span i get a -1 in the cell which is messing up count. Is there a way to add an IF function to the function above that says If -1 then skip? or count as 0? I've tried several different ways and it's not working.

So in cell G6 i would like a way to run the formula (B2/F2)*G2 but i need that formula to run for every row that has PM hours so i end up with total PM hours for Jan etc for all labor categories. In the end the totals in the column J of the second section should equal the total row 5 of the first section. I've tried a sumproduct with no luck. I'm really good with formulas & i'm pretty good with macros so any type of solution will work. Any suggestions at all are greatly appreciated. Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497667

    - SUMIF vs SUMPRODUCT I was using the SUMIF command as follows (=SUMIF('Active Data'!Z:Z,2,'Active Data'!AK:AK) ("Active Data" is the previous tab), and the formula works great!.... until the criteria for the calulation changed. Now I require 2 sets of criteria before I sum the AK:AK column. I changed the formula to(SUMPRODUCT(('Active Data'!Z2:Z1000=2)*('Active Data'!BE2:BE1000=1)*('Active Data'!AK2:AK1000)). The additional data is coming from column BE. Apparently the SUMPRODUCT doe not like my referencing the Active Data tab. This formula returns the ever popular #VALUE! answer. Column Z is the month code (Feb), column BE is a customer code (1,0 or -1), and column AK repersents the hours of service. The formula should result all the hours worked(AK) in Feb(Z) for all the customers with criteria "1" (BE). (in this case 408 hours worked.) Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497624

My thought was to create a column 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.

    - Right clicking to summon Format Cells. In cells A1 I have Name-in cell B1 Location C1Title E1 Hire Date F1 Salary. I then have inserted A new Collumn D1 which is called Service. In cell E2 I have a Hire Date of 11/24/98 and in cell F2 Salary is $29,500. In the newly formed Collumn D in D2 I have a Formula =(Today()-E2)/365. I should be getting the Value 4.9, But I come up with 9.306849315. When right clicking on the Hire Date collumn to format cells and choosing the Number Tab and then clicking Date I need the sample area in the format dialog box to specifically say "Date" to correctly come to the right value. How could a beginner trouble shoot this problem in formatimg cells to come to the correct value? Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497561

    - How stop Excel default display of pasted number as scientific equa How do I stop excel from displaying stings of numbers pasted or imported into excel as a scientific equation? Like 5.73E+08 when the real part number is 549575667. The data displayed in the formula bar is the correct full number but Excel displays the data with the decimal and "+", it does this with imported data from Monarch as well as just a cut and paste from another program. If it is one or two number s I can retype directly and it will not happen but I am pulling data lists with thousands of part numbers. This problems seems worse now that I have Office 2007. Any suggestions? Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497549

    - Vlookup referring to External Workbook or Spreadsheet I'm trying to use a vlookup formula and refer to a range name located in an external spreadsheet but it is not working. Formula is as follows: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)) The formula is 1st checking to see if the text in cell B13 is within the "fata" range in the external spreadsheet. If the text in B13 is not found, there would be an error. If there is an error, my IF statement should return a blank cell indicated by the double quotes (""). If the formula finds the text in cell B13, the value should be picked up from column 8 within the "fata" range. Somehow this formula is not valid but I'm not sure where? I feel very stupid right now so any help would be great. Thanks Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497542

    - End Down goes to infinity If column 1 has data in each of the, say, first 100 rows, and Iinsert an adjacent column 2 and ensure that column 2 is empty, then I enter data in the first cell of column 2, then I try to copy the new cell down all the way down to the bottom of the row that is the same as the last row of column 1, how can I take advantage of column 1? I sort of would like to press copy A2 then move left to column 1, then do End Down, then move back to column 2, then press Enter. But I always end up down at infinity at the bottom of Excel. Any clues? Thanks. Tag: merge cells disabled how do I enable Tag: 497539

Is the workbook shared? If so, you would need to unshare it first.
If not, is it protcted? May want to unprotect it first...

That's a GOOD thing. Use center across instead
