I wonder if someone could help me,
I am not a whiz at excel although i know some things, what am after is, I have a worksheets from Monday to Friday, say on a Monday I have time, from, to etc. for car trips, in the 'from' would be the address, I have a list of 1,000 street names on a separate sheet, I want to be able to start typing a street name in the 'from' cell and the street name appear and I can enter it then, is this possible?
I currently have the 1,000 street names above the 'from' column thus it pops up when I start typing, just wanted to know if there was an easier way, as I need to add streets to the list over time, I would be grateful if someone could steer me in the right direction.
So if I understand well, you want to implement automatic completion based on data from another worksheet? Google that. Here is what I found :

I trying to import our staff profile that joined from the the beginning until a month, at the same time will only display the result of a specific department.
Here is the example of my sheet
I can copy-paste until the month that I want, of course. But that would need to be updated every time I need it, so I want to turn this process from manual to auto. Unfortunately I'm not good at coming up with formulas just yet, so I would like to ask for help on this problem.
I want to import the staff data from a specific department and joined before a certain date. IT would be great if it can be automatic. Thank you in advance!
Link to sample spreadsheet: attendance tracking
The tab to look at is the AM Classes. We need a count of how many students attended a class/group that day but it must be unduplicated. Such as some students may attend more than one STEM class in a day, but how many they attend in one day doesn't matter. We only need it to count the student once for that day in the STEM group. What I have is two different options (G1027 & M1027) but they aren't working correctly. I hope this is making sense. Attendance will be entered in using set codes (different letters of the alphabet- A1027 shows the codes.) What we need to track and their codes are in column C at the bottom (the blue lines.) I was also given the suggestion of having the formula look through the cells in that days column and find anyone of those codes and if it did, to use another column that is filled with 1's to do the actual counting (Column F). I'm not sure how to set that up though.
Thank you so much for looking at this. We have struggled with this for a while now and have had it on google forums and no suggestions on how to fix it. Below is a snapshot showing a section of the sample sheet and what we are struggling with. Thanks again.

Try G1027:
=SUMPRODUCT(REGEXMATCH(G4:G1016,"(?i)[aglmpst]"))
Ok to paint a picture.
A sheet named bob another sheet named joe.
These sheets will have a column listed as type. it will be say E3 thru E100
in this column there will be either W, CPC, Or AMW.
A separate sheet named main will be looking at these sheets bob and joe and the column type E3 thru E100.
if the column has a w then it would count that as 1
if it has a cpc then is would count that as 1
if it has amw then it would count that as one.
And for each time it sees one of these it will added it up and tally a total back on the sheet name main.
This formula would be written 2 times for each person so it would show how many warranty jobs they did or how many customer paid jobs they did or how many aftermarket warranty job they did.

It's sounds terrible, in first instance I do believe that you are trying to Count 3 codes, but unable to understand for whom,, as described later,, so better post either screen shots or sample data, help me to solve the problem.
I teach a budgeting course for my professional association. As part of that course, students are required to submit a draft budget as part of their marks. The budget template that I have to use is kindof set in stone. The association offers it's courses at various college locations and I can't just arbitrarily change it's contents.
That being said, marking this assignment is a pain in the neck! I'm looking for an easy way to be able to compare the values in a cell, and then mark it correct or incorrect, if it is within an expected range..
For example, students are required to estimate the expenses for the current year. If their estimate is within $200 +/- of what the answer key states, then I would mark their answer correct.
I am not a coder by trade, but rather an armchair coder who will search out and self teach what I need to solve my problem, so I'm not afraid of a bit of homework myself. I have not been able to find any solution so far. Right now, my students submit their assignment hardcopy, and I manually mark their spreadsheets. Tedious to say the least. Any searches I try to perform for academic marking of an Excel spreadsheet only return solutions to use Excel as a tracking tool for student marks, which is not what I'm looking for.
My college uses Desire2Learn as their online platform for content delivery, and students can submit their material electronically, I want an easy way to determine if they have completed the spreadsheet correctly.
Any help, or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
There are probably several ways to tackle this problem but this might be something simple if the layout of the sheets doesn't change. You could create a worksheet with 3 sheets.
1. a sheet to copy their work into
2. "Master" sheet with the correct answers
3. "Grading" sheet that has formulas that calculate the difference (possibly within a range). For example IF(ABS(Sheet 1!B20 - Sheet 2!B20)>200,"Correct","Incorrect"). Calculates the absolute value of the difference between the same cell address on 2 different sheets then compares to the expected answer and returns Correct or Incorrect.
You would still have to copy their work into your master worksheet one at a time. Remember this only works if their worksheet layout doesn't change.
Post a rely along with a sample of the data if you need something more flexible.
If this has been discussed, I apologize. My boss just gave me a last minute project that needs to be completed by Monday and I am hoping someone could help tell how to complete this in a matter of minutes, not hours. I have very basic excel knowledge unfortunately, I will try to explain the best I can but I apologize in advance if there is something I didn't include or should know.
In my spreadsheet, D1-D34 has every model # of a specific brand that my company has sold last month. On a separate website, there is a chart that lists a "reward" associated with particular model sold. I can copy and paste that list into excel. When I do that, the eligible "model's" are on D56-D975, with the price associated each are on E56-E975.
Is there any formula that I can run that will basically do all of the manual work for me so that if one of the models in D1-D34 match one of the models in D56-D975, then the "reward" associated would appear in E1-E134?
Thanks a bunch. Hopefully I can get this resolved quickly and have some sort of weekend with my family.
InE1 enter:
=VLOOKUP(D1,$D$56:$E$975,2,FALSE)
and copy this down thru E34
