So right now I have this calendar set-up:

And I have a formula like:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Yes",'HI Project Database'!D2)), ('HI Project Database'!$B2&" - "&'HI Project Database'!$A2), "")
In the cells to pull data based on certain conditions from a separate spreadsheet.
Now I want to also display certain values if you hover the cells, specifically display text pulled from the "HI Project Database" sheet from cells AB:AG with commas and spaces in between.
What's the best way to go about doing this?

I have a table with dropdowns that will hide certain rows. To the right of this table, I want to have some content, but can't do this as it will be hidden when these dropdowns are selected. I currently have the content to the bottom right of the sheet and have tried splitting the screen to have them both showing but this does not work either. Any ideas on how I can have the two showing side by side? Thanks!
I've gotten around this by using Text Boxes. After creating the text box, change the properties to "do not move or size".
In the picture below, there are two text boxes.
-- The first one is just static text that you copy/paste in there. This works fine as long as you have the same info displayed all the time.
-- The second one has the ability to be somewhat dynamic, where it references the contents of another cell. That cell can be anywhere (this sheet, another sheet, doesn't matter). So in this example...
Cell L1 formula: =TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10), TRUE,E1:E3)
Textbox formula: =Sheet4!L1
No matter how you filter/hide, those text boxes won't move.
I have an excel file that displays data about jobs and customers. One tab contains a list of bids and their dates of expected completion. This tab has conditional formatting applied that turns the job name font red if a certain cell contains an "X" (meaning "bid but not yet approved/denied"). Another tab pulls data from that list and turns it into a calendar for visual reference. It uses textjoin to create a list of jobs in a cell based on a date of expected completion.
ex:
{=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF('2020 Background Data'!$H$2:$H$301=DATE('2020 Calendar View'!$E$1,'2020 Calendar View'!$B3,'2020 Calendar View'!Z$2),'2020 Background Data'!$I$2:$I$301,""))}
That is working fine to list them. However, I have not yet been able to find a way to bring the color along with it when I join it into the comma separated list. I want the text to carry its color along with it so it turns red on the calendar as a quick indicator that we need to call that customer back. Anyone have thoughts?
I can usually find an answer to the problems I'm having via a quick google search, but this one I'm struggling to even form the question in order to locate an answer.
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to use Excel Tooltips to display cell data. For example, on mouse over: a tooltip appears displaying the cell values from selected cells, preferably with some plain text but not essential.
i.e. I have an overview table which simplifies data from another table but want said cell values to appear on mouse over.
Some of my managers have access to Office 2010 or later. I know in the newer Office there is the option to filter by cell color. But on my floor we only have Office 2003. I am wondering is there a way I can filter by the fill of the cell?
The way I am doing it right now is create another column, putting an "x" manually on the highlighted rows. And then filter it with the "x". Is there a easier way to do this? (They have hundreds of rows like that). I am using Window XP with Excel 2003.
Install ASAP utilities http://www.asap-utilities.com/
Click on ASAP Utilities tab
Choose "Select" with the big mouse pointer over it
Choose "Select cells based on content, formatting and more...
go to the tab "Based on formatting and more"
Select "cell color" and choose the example cell which contains your color
Choose your cell range and choose entire row
click ok
This will allow you to select all the rows. Color the entire rows which are now selected. Find an empty column and use find/replace to find the color just added and replace it with an 'x'. Now you can filter in this new column for x, which is just like filtering on the original columns color. This is better so you don't have to add a new character to the existing column which might contain data.
I have been using MSWord 2010 to compose list of questions. These questions are organized in single MSWord document, using numbering - 1. first question, etc...
I was wondering could contents of each bullet be transffered to MSExcel cell? So if i have 20 questions, i would have cell with 20 rows, each containing one question.
I am asking this because i have 300 questions that i want to import to excel.
It's possible to copy your numbered bullets from Excel to Word and then break them up using Excel worksheet functions. However, it's real easy to just do it with the built-in Excel commands.
In Word:
Increase the width on the hanging indent on your numbered list. It will make the conversion in Excel easier to deal with.
Select your bullets and copy them.
In Excel:
"Paste Special" the copied text into Excel using the Match Destination Formatting option.
Select the cells you pasted the bullets by the number of digits in the bullets (i.e., first do 1-9, then do 10-99, etc.)
With the cells selected, choose the Text to Columns command from the Data tab on the ribbon.
Make sure that the 'Fixed Width" radio box is selected on the dialogue box that comes up, then move to the next step.
Adjust the break lines so that there are three fields: one with the number + period, another the spaces between the numbers and text, the third the text.
Moving to the next step - select the second field (the spaces) and click the "Do not import column (skip) radio button.
Click finish and the bullets are imported.
The above answer is best if you have an already established list. The best workflow I've found for this is to create a table to work in, in word. That table then copies perfectly into cells in excel, allowing you to create a structure that will pass between the tow docs seamlessly.
