I have the following problem in excel.
Lets say I have 10 cells in my spread sheet that contains the following;
Cash per 30.06.17
I want to use the Concatenate-formula (or other if that solves my problem) in order to be able to use a referance cell to change the date going forward in all 10 cells.
=concatenate("Cash per";"referance cell that contains the date)
However, when doing this I receive the following;
Cash per 42916.
Can somebody help me with this problem? The way I see it I need a special input to the custom category in cells formatting.
Thank you.
Andreas
You have to add the "TEXT"-function to your formula to format the date:
=CONCATENATE("Cash per";TEXT([Reference cell with date];"dd.mm.yyyy"))

I need help with the below formula. I already tried to find a solution for this problem but no success.
If account number exists in column A in the 'Returns' tab and also in column A in the 'July Sales' tab, then I need to get date from the column B in 'Returns' tab.
I manually checked a few accounts on both spreadsheet and find some duplicates.
My formula is as follows:
=VLOOKUP(Returns!A:B,A:B,2,0)
Screenshots:
I tried to change format to text/general, text to columns and trim function but it's still not working.
Also, as I have over 200k rows in each table, can I use any different formula instead to speed this up?
Finally, is there any way to pick dates only if these are within 30 days
Thanks in advance.
You're using Returns!A:B as your lookup value, which doesn't make sense. Instead, try the following:
=VLOOKUP([#Account], tblReturns[[Account]:[Submit_Date]],2,FALSE)
where tblReturns is the name of the table on your Returns worksheet.
I've made the assumption that you're working with tables, since the data in your screenshots is formatted like the default table. If they're just normal ranges, the equivalent is
=VLOOKUP($A2,Returns!$A:$B,2,FALSE)
=IF(COUNTIF(RETURNS!A:A,A2)>0,B2,"NO RETURN INFO")
Not sure what you want done when the account is not found on the RETURNS worksheet. Change "NO RETURN INFO" to what ever text you want including "" for a blank. Make sure you apply the same format for cells in column F as you do in column B. Copy the above formula down as required.
try the below, which will return blanks for non-matches as opposed to errors;
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,Returns!$A:$B,2,FALSE),"")
I highly recommend an INDEX/MATCH combination over a VLOOKUP. It is MUCH faster, particularly if you are working with a large number of rows. It may even be faster than the COUNTIF solution suggested by #ForwardEd.
=IFERROR(INDEX(Returns!$B:$B,MATCH($A2,Returns!$A:$A,0)),"")
I have a list of all of the sheet names in my workbook on Sheet1 and I am trying, without success, to use the INDIRECT function to reference a cell on another sheet using said name. I am aware that this is a common question, I have looked at about 10 other questions/answers on this website in addition to others. For some reason, those solutions are not working and I am kinda losing my mind.
The sheet names are all in column A
They are named after dates (format mm-dd-yy) <- I'm assuming this is the problem?
The cell that I am trying to reference is always in O1 on every sheet in the workbook.
I have tried:
=INDIRECT(A1&"!O1")
=INDIRECT("'"A1"'&!O1")
and a few other amalgamations. Again, I have looked into so many other solutions at this point I am just left with asking for help with my situation, which is apparently unique (or more likely it is some blaring user error). Please help me before immediately removing the post.
If I have this right, the names of your sheets are dates, and you have the names listed as dates in Column A. So, they will appear as dates, but are actually Excel's background number for a date (days since 1/1/1900).
If you use the Formulas tab in the ribbon to Evaluate Formula, you should see the date pop in to your formula as a 5 digit number.
If you are not doing anything else with these dates, you could try selecting column A and formatting as text. This solved the issue in my test setup. This will still work if you are using the date for other functions, but you will have to tell Excel it's a date using DateValue()
After formatting Column A as text, I used =INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!O1")
Try,
=indirect(text(a1, "\'mm-dd-yy\'\!\O\1"))
First, I know that DSUM and SUMIF works with the values in the entire cell. I would like to know if I can add values of cells where part of the string contains a particular text.
Let me explain. I use Google Sheets to manage my expenses, and gather data about my financials. I have something like this—
As you can see, above is a typical example of a day. Each cell has a category, and a description, and below it, the value in the next row. Now is it possible to add values of the cell containing the word "TAXIS"? This way I should be able to get a sum of expenses for a particular category.
I've tried a vast number of expense managers, but none that I am happy with. Finally have decided to go the manual route, and here I am. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You can use wild card to add part of string. Suppose you data starts from C2 cell and data goes like your screenshot then you can use following formula.
=SUMIF(C2:K2,"*TAXIS*",C3:K3)
Obviously you have to customize formula based on your sheet from where data starts and ends.
I have a formula with defined names
=AVERAGE(DN1,DN2,DN3,DN4)
Is there any formula/function to give me those defined names in a table? So something looking like
Header
DN1
DN2
DN3
DN4
Thanks
In VBA Range("A1").Formula will return the formula contained in cell A1 as string of text.
With a bit more VBA you should be able to parse that text to get you the names you want and to list them on an appropriate bit of worksheet.
The ease with which you will be able to do this will depend on the amount of variety you have in the formulae which you want to analyse.
In the end I have been able to achieve the job using a couple of user defined functions, the use of array and its Split function. If anyone wants any help give me a shout. Thanks anyway to all of you who tried to help. CM
I´ve spent a lot of time with a formula in Excel and I´m still blocked. I hope you can help me.
I have a table in Excel with several values as shown in this
screenshot.
What I´m trying to extract is the number of Fruits sold in a specific month. That is, how many lemons were sold in January 2016, for example. This is the formula I´m using:
=SUMPRODUCT((B3:B38=E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=12)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015);$C$3:$C$150)
But the result is #N/A as seen in the screenshot.
What Am I doing wrong? Any help, please?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You can use arrays in excel to get this answer
{SUM(IF(MONTH(F$3&"1")=MONTH($A$3:$A$150),IF($E4=$B$3:$B$150,$C$3:$C$150,0),0))}
You can use this Sumproduct formula which uses array logic:
SUMPRODUCT((MONTH($A$3:$A$38)=MONTH(TEXT(G$2,"MMM")&1))*($C$3:$C$38=$F4)*
($D$3:$D$38))
Sumproduct Demo
Part of your problem is your ranges are not equal in length. B3:B38 has to be the same number of rows as $A$3:$A$150 and C3:C150. When rows are not equal things blow up on you.
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$150=$E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=12)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015);$C$3:$C$150)
if you change your header row to be actual excel date format, and then change the cell display format to just show the month (as suggested by csanjose), then you can adjust your sumproduct formula as follows and copy to all cells in your table.
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$38=$E4)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=Month(F$3))*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=Year(F$3));$C$3:$C$150)
Fill your month-row with the last day of each month, then apply date format to show only month name.
The formula you should use is, for example, in g8:
=SUMIFS($C:$C;$B:$B;$E8;$A:$A;"<="&G$3;$A:$A;">"&F$3)
First column "F" doesn't have a column on the left to compare, so you can put a date in E3 or change a bit the formula (example of F8):
=SUMIFS($C:$C;$B:$B;$E8;$A:$A;"<="&F$3;$A:$A;">2015/12/31")
Take a look at the result
If you don't want to use a pivot table, you can use this formula to get what you need:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$150=$E3)*(MONTH($A$3:$A$150)=1)*(YEAR($A$3:$A$150)=2015)*$C$3:$C$150)
Then drag-fill the cell to copy it to every month column (just make sure you change the month number in the formula (and year if you're doing that too)), and then drag-fill down the columns.
That should work pretty food good :)
Good Luck!
