    - NON SEQUENTIAL DATE RANGES Is there a way to split out non-sequential dates in a column of dates? For example I have listed for a single client service dates of Jan 1-5, Mar 3-11, July 5-10 and then would have the non sequential dates for other clients. I need a simple blank line (or any other way of indicating) when a client has multiple admissions which will be known by the fact they have multiple non-sequential ranges of dates in a column.

    - Calculating dates of holidays Hello, I'm trying to dynamically calculate the dates that certain holidays would fall on based on the year. Some of them are easy, because they are the same date every year. However, there are some that fall on different dates...i.e. Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) being the 4th Thursday in November. I'm sure I can write a UDF that would do this, but I like to avoid doing that when native functions will suffice. However, I can't seem to figure a way to do this using what's already there. So, for instance, if I have 2008 in, say, A1, then the formula to calculate Thanksgiving should return 11/27/2008. If I change the year in A1 to 2012, then the formula would return 11/22/2012. If it's possible, does anyone have any suggestions? Excel 2003, SP2, Analysis ToolPak XPPro, SP2 Thanks to all. Mike Lee Coppell, TX, USA Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518804

    - MACRO for Matching Two List I would like to create a file of data that has quanties used from one time period. Then, periodically take another file of the same items from another time period and bump it up against the first one. I want to match the items and put the usage quantities side by side. Then calculate a variance of the change in quantities and sort from hi to lo. I know how to do the basics but how to write a macro so that I take the new file and just do the bumping up against automatically. -- NLRHU91 Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518803

    - Create macro with button in excel spreadsheet I'm trying to create a macro in an excel workbook and have a button so that when a customer completes the form, they hit the macro button and it creates an EMail and populates the subject line. The folks who use the form download it from my company's internal portal; all users are internal to the company. Note, I have a rule set up in Outlook so that these EMails automatically route to another folder so they don't get "lost" in my general inbox. Users send the excel attachment to me OK, but the subject line is usually missed, even though I have mistake-proofed it as best I can. Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518801

    - Excel Function - Date evaluation I want another cell to evaluate if there is a date (of any kind) in another cell. If there is then I want the formula to place the date minus 30 days. If there's not, then I want it to say "NA". Ex: Cell A4 can have, "OK", "Overdue", or physically input a date. Cell A5 will be A4-30, if there is a date. If there is not then A5 will read "NA".

    - Help with combining lists I'm pretty new at this, but I'm having trouble with something. I have 2 lists that each have item numbers in them. I'm trying to take out all the item numbers that appear in both lists so that what I'm left with is a few numbers that are only in one list or the other. I can't figure out how to do this because all the "remove duplicate" tools and formulas leave one of the 2 duplicates. I need to remove both of them. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this? The only way I can figure out is to paste both of the lists in one file, do Conditional Formatting for the duplicates, and then pull out the ones that don't have the special formatting. There has to be an easier way! Thank you in advance! Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518795

    - Separating Strings I'm sure this will come as a really simple question to the rest of you, but I have a column with names in it; I want to divide them into first and last names. How can I do this? I started with finding the space in between the first and last names, like this: SEARCH(" ",A2) Then when I got the number of the space, I started a conditional statement: IF(SEARCH(" ",A2)>0, . . . .) But that's where I lose my line of thinking.So I'm telling it that if it finds a space, then I want it to return everything BEFORE the space to one column and then I need another function to return everything AFTER the space in another column.

    - change formula in a shared worksheet without losing change history Hi Rick, Thank you for calling my attention for the lack of details with my question. My question is: I posted a shared worksheet in a shared drive that others could update with their changes and corrections. However, getting back to the shared worksheet, I realized I had to change an array formula in one of the tabs. When I tried to change the formula, I receive a message saying that it is one of the things that I am not allowed to do without losing the change history ( records of people's ID, time & date they went to the file and the changes they made). One way I thought of doing is to save the old file in a place others do not have access to, & re-create the file with a new file name. That will allow me now to change my formulas. However, I will lose the change history in the new file and I do not want that. I know that all the changes are there but I want to be able to see the change history just in the one new file without having to bring out the previous file. I hope this clears my dilemma. Thank you Rick for your suggestion. Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518773

    - Insert Graphics File into Worksheet via Formula <<Previously posted in m.p.e.charting under "Graphics Filename via Formula">> I am trying to programmatically generate a 9-panel chart similar to those you see in stock prospectuses, with the horizontal displaying "Investment Style" and the vertical displaying "Market Cap". Each of the 9 panels within the grid represents a different combination of the horizontal vs. vertical values. I have a very kludgy solution using conditional formatting on a grid of 9 individual cells to turn one of them on and leave the rest neutral, but this solution is hard to maintain and expand for more source data. I would like to take nine graphic files, one for each possible highlighted square position, and use a formula to derive a value that would be used to display a graphic with that filename. For instance, for "Growth" and "Large", if the formula produced a result of "GL", the file named "GL.jpg" (or GIF or PNG) would appear in a certain cell (each of the nine graphic files would be identical in dimensions). If the source data changes, the graphic would automagically be changed, too. If two rows of data produce the same combination of horizontal vs. vertical values, they would each display the same graphic file. How do I do this in Excel (2003, preferably)? advTHANKSance!

    - Vlookup on Dates I have a table containg start dates in column a and end dates in column b. The start date for the second (and subsequent) record is the end date for the first record plus one day e.g. if the end date was 31/12/2007 then the next row would show a start date of 01/01/2008. How can I get a vlookup function to correctly identify the row in which the target date falls between a start date and end date (both on the same row). Once the correct row has been selected the vlookup will need to lookup the contents of a cell to the right of the indexing columns. I have tried this by only using the end date and find that the function selects the row before the row containing the relevent start and end dates. Thanks for any help/advise.

    - How to Create Macro to Increase Cell Value to one and Print Worksheet We are trying to automate the printing of a worksheet. In sheet "Jobs" of the workbook it has consecutive numbers in column A (1, 2,3 ...) and is variable. We would like to automate the insertion of each consecutive number from this column A into cell C6 of the Summary sheet, and print out the Summary sheet, until the last number is reached in column A. Example: Column A has numbers 1-32. The macro will copy 32 times (numbers 1 through 32) into cell C6 and each time print the Summary sheet out. (by copying the number into C6 it will activate other formulas...) Thanks so much for anyone who can assist! Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518719

For Example Jan Code Atlanta Chicago Detroit 300 - Bill Expense 359.23 234.23 1132.32 301 - Process Fee 65.00 45.00 50.00 400 - Bill Expense 4560.00 333.22 232.32 Feb Code Atlanta Chicago Detroit 300 - Bill Expense 359.23 234.23 1132.32 301 - Process Fee 65.00 45.00 50.00 302 - Sales 3333 4444 5555 400 - Bill Expense 4560.00 333.22 232.32 and so on Total Code Atlanta Chicago Detroit 300 - Bill Expense 359.23 234.23 1132.32 301 - Process Fee 65.00 45.00 50.00 302 - Sales 3333 4444 5555 400 - Bill Expense 4560.00 333.22 232.32 Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518641

    - Changing worksheet reference in a VLOOKUP Using Excel 2007 and XP Pro SP2. I am using a VLOOKUP formula which is working fine, however I have about 20 worksheets within my workbook each containing unique values (same data ranges however). Is it possible to change the worksheet reference in the example below to be a value in a column? In other words if I have columns that represent each worksheet, can I place a cell reference in that column to call the respective worksheet? I am looking to formulaically change the value '220' so if I copy across it will pick up the next worksheet value of '221', '222', '223', etc. This way I can copy that same VLOOKUP command across a number of columns and it will automatically grab the data from that worksheet. This formula would reside in a separate worksheet in the same excel file. =VLOOKUP($A8,'220'!$B$8:$C$1274,1) So if I copy across the function would look like this for each new column: Cell A1=VLOOKUP($A8,'221'!$B$8:$C$1274,1) Cell B2=VLOOKUP($A8,'222'!$B$8:$C$1274,1) Cell C2=VLOOKUP($A8,'223'!$B$8:$C$1274,1) This would go on for about 30 columns etc. Thanks Mark Tag: Get rid of $ signs in formulas Tag: 518635

When I am linking one workbook to another, the default formula always has $'s
before and after the Column id. How do I link without having the $'s added?

You don't but just toggle through the $ options using the F4 key.

If when building your formulas you add external references by
switching to other workbooks and selecting the ranges you want, just
press [F4] 3 times just after selecting the external range to change
the range address to fully relative. Alternatively, if there are no
other $s in these formulas, select the cells containing these formulas
