I have an excel sheet with Time(e.g 4:00:07) and an integer (25). I have inserted an additional column between the two.I want to extract the minute information from the Time column and apply it to the newly inserted column.
I am using the excel formula =TEXT(A:A,"hh:mm") which works fine for a single cell/column, but I am not able apply it for the entire column. How do I do this?

I need to define a formula for a new column without dragging the cells such that the first row is zero and each subsequent row takes the value of the previous row and adds two to it. Is this possible to do using excel?
I have a table in excel which is constantly having new rows added. I then have another sheet (lets call it results) which is referencing this table, and counting the values in each column.
Every time I add a new record/row to my table, the results sheet throws a bunch of errors in every cell that references the column. Because I'm using a fixed range in the formula to count the column, e.g. =SUM(A1:A10), I then need to manually click each cell in results and select 'include adjacent cells' to get the count to reflect the new data. I have loads of cells in this table and I'm adding data daily so this is a very long winded way of doing things.
I'm looking for a way that I can automatically update these cells, either by using a macro, or adjusting the formula so that it will automatically increase the range of the SUM when I add new data.
The best solution I've had so far was to simply define the range to include the row below my last piece of data (i.e. if A10 is my last record, the formula would be =SUM(A1:A11)). This works, and auto increments the formula when a new cell is added. However, if I delete the record from the table for any reason, the formula reverts to only including the range containing data.
In other words, this solution works, but only until I have to delete a record. Is there any better solution that can detect which rows are populated, and auto include them in the formula?
=SUMPRODUCT(INDEX('Sheet1!'A:A,1):INDEX('Sheet1!'A:A,LOOKUP(2,1/('Sheet1!'A:A<>""),ROW('Sheet1!'A:A))))
Using INDEX and ROW reference, deleting cells won't result in broken cell references. LOOKUP is used to calculate the last non-empty cell in column A. This will auto update.
Using SUMPRODUCT instead of SUM makes it an array formula and does not require older Excel versions to enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter (because of the LOOKUP function)
In Office 365 you could use: =SUM(FILTER('Sheet1!'A:A,'Sheet1!'A:A<>""))
The goal is to create a series of graphs that will update automatically based on the raw data.
So, I have created a graph manually and want to edit the formula to accomplish the auto update.
The column names will always be the same, so I want to be able to select all data in a column based on the name BUT ignore any cell that is blank (above zero maybe).
The formula excel has given me so far is
=SERIES(rawdata!$M$1:$M$6,rawdata!$A$2:$A$37,rawdata!$M$2:$M$37,1)
So, something like
=SERIES(rawdata![column name],rawdata![column name],rawdata![column name],1)
I'm not sure how the skipping blank columns should work either. To expand on this further only one of the columns can potentially contain blank values. So if a cell is blank in that column then that entire row shouldn't be plotted, if that makes sense!
strong text =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B:$B) - 1)
Try this formula when you define the name for the column of values you would like to have data automatically added from. I know it works when each cell has either a formula or a value. Like a column that is automatically calculated based on values in other columns.
In this formula example the cell B2 refers to the first point of data in the column. (make sure your references are absolute! ie, use $B$2)
This automatically returns the range of data as it changes when CountA is added:
=OFFSET(reference, rows, cols, [height], [width])
=COUNTA(value1, [value2], ...)
Hope this helps! It worked for me! :) If you have completely blank cells in the column you might have to make a couple changes though.

I have two excel spreadsheets. The first column of each is a column of serial numbers. Basically I need to take the first sheet, match the serial numbers from the other sheet (they are out of order and some are missing) and the fill in the unique data from the fist sheet into the appropriate columns of the second sheet. Does that make sense? I'm an excel noob, but I'm trying to learn! Thanks!
You could use VLOOKUP in order to do that. In cell B2 on your second sheet, use the formula
=VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet1!A:B,2,FALSE)
From this, just add the column range as the second input between the serial number and the column you want to look up. Then repeat for each column.
This picture shows the setup in the first sheet:
All of the data is hard coded.
This picture shows the setup in the second sheet.
As #timthebomb suggests, the formula in the second column (second row) is the following Vlookup:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$9,2,FALSE)
I am new to excel and I am trying to write an excel formula where I sum all the values from a single column. The data is returned from a .net application so I am using a template file and each column as a suffix which is %%=sso.qty for example. So its only when a report is run through the application that there is actual data in each column.
I want a formula which will dynamically add all values in a column regardless of cell range. So if my suffix is in cell K10 how would the formula know to adjust the range based on how many rows of data there is?
Does anyone know a good way of doing this?
Assuming the formula will be placed in a different column, you can SUM an entire column by specifying the column without a row reference, like this:
=SUM(K:K)
