How to count only cells containing zero with a specific cell format?
Take this list: A1 through A10 all contains zero. Cells A1, A4 and A5 of this range have a cell format which shows zeros as stars()*. Now, I'd like to count these three cells, stars.
You should be able to use =COUNTIF(A1:A10,0) if the value of the cell is 0. It does not matter the formating, if not try =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"*")

Is there a way to create a formula in one cell that will change the value in another cell based on some criteria, without scripting? Example: cell a1 contains a numerical value. cell b1 contains a value from a drop-down list, say, "YES,NO". If cell b1 is set to "YES" I want to remove (set to zero) the value in cell a1. What I'd like to do is have a formula in cell c1 that interrogates b1 and sets the value in a1 accordingly. Is the only way achieve this writing code and using setValue?
you cant remove it without a script. you can visually hide it in various ways. if the A1 is subject of further sum (as in your case per your comment) the sum formula can be always altered to reflect desired output. example:
if your formula is
=SUM(A1, C5, D22)
you can do
=SUM(IF(B1="YES", 0, A1), C5, D22)
Use the following on the cell you need the calculation (or zero) on:
=IF (B1="YES",0,SUM(A:A))
Using the given formula, you would do the SUM calculation for the whole Column A if the value on B1 is "YES", if not, then a 0 would be placed on the cell you put the formula on.
so i have some data in column A, like this,
(A1)12 (B1)
(B2)1
(B3)2
(B4)3
(A5)15 (B5)4
(B6)1
(A7)32 (B7)2
but after each value in column, there are some random number of empty cell and then another value. so the formula i am using is to calculate data between A1 and A5 in column C is
=$A$1+(B2/4)*($A$7-$A$1)
same for the next two values in column A between A5 and A7. ,
but the thing is i have a very high amount of data, is there any option that i dont have to specify cell in the above formulae, it automatically selects the non empty cells in the formulae along with their cell numbers.and cell difference.![enter image description here]
i need to color as many cells as the number in the cell above. For example in the cell A1 i have the number 4 and i need to color 4 cells below that A2, A3, A4 and A5.
Assuming row 1 has the number of cells to color, in cell A2, create a conditional format with the formula =A$1>=ROW()-1. Copy this format to the entire table.
I have 2 cells A2 and A3, I will input a min value and max value respectively in each cell. Say 100 in A2 and 200 in A3.
I would like Excel to populate cells with values within that range. So Column B would have cells 1-101 filled in with 100,101,103,104,105....200.
Is there any easy way to do this or should I just stick to putting 100 in B1 and dragging it down?
In you first cell:
=IF(ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2<=$A$3,ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2,"")
Then drag/copy the cells down far enough to cover any combination you will have. You can fill the whole column if you want.
Microsoft is working on their Dynamic Arrays, Once released, a simple formula in the first cell of:
=SEQUENCE(A3-A2+1,,A2)
Will autmatically fill down the sequence without the need of dragging the formula down.
If I want to only ask excel to calculate in a cell if TWO other cells have values in them, what is the code? I know that for it to calculate only if a single cell has a value is =if(A1=0,"",B1-B2)....but how do you add criteria that two cells have a value in them?
Example where A1 and B1 are 0:
=IF(AND(A1=0,B1=0),"",B1-B2)
With this you can verify witch cell has no value
=IF(B3="",IF(C3="","both EMPTY","B3 empty C3 with value"),IF(C3="","C3 empty B3 with value","both with value"))
You can also set cell = 0 on the comparison.
