I am trying to create an ordering file, it has 2 tabs, one with the official order form, and the next tab with the items they can order. I want to automatize the order tab, so i added check boxes next to each item and linked to a row next to it where it shows "TRUE" if checked and "FALSE" if not checked. I have also added another row with an if formula to simply look for that cell and if "True" show "X".
My question is, how can i write a formula to look for all items marked with "X" and automatically fill my order? I want to add the formula to all rows on the order form, so if they select 10 items they would show (but not repeat), and if they only selected one it would show only 1.
In the pic below, if they checked the box it would show on the other sheet with quantity and the CASE UPC
In the First picture shows where they would make the selection
]1
In the second picture shows where the formula would bring the qty and UPC Case code
I am trying to do something like VLOOKUP, but VLOOKUP would stop in the first match and repeat it. Thank You so much!
If one has the dynamic array formula available in Office 365, put this in the upper left cell of the output area:
=FILTER(CHOOSE({1,2},G:G,E:E),I:I="X")
I would like to change background colors on the columns in my pivot table based on the header (dimension on the X-axis).
When i click "Banded colums" it just colors every secon column, but i want the behavior from the last table in my example below. It should change every time the year is changing.
In the example the columns are always grouped in pairs two and two, but a solution that can handle variable column-sets would be perfect.
Any suggestions?

Now I understand, I totally misread your question.
Right-click one of the pivottable styles you like and select "Duplicate".
Give the style a meaningful name
Click the First Column stripe item
Set Stripe size to 2
Click the Second Column stripe item
Set Stripe size to 2
OK
Click the PivotTable Styles dropdown and select your newly added style.
Check "Banded columns"
I'd suggest to use a conditional format. Home, Conditional formatting.
Suppose you want to highlight all columns which have "#Rolls":
Select all data columns in the PT, for example cells B4:I20
Click Home, Conditional formatting, New Rule
Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
Enter this formula: =B$4="#Rolls"
Choose the appropriate format by clicking the format button and setting things up.
OK your way back to Excel
I'm quite new to programming, so I don't know if I am using the right words, BUT I'm creating a pivot table for my list of library books, and I want to hide all those 1s.
As you can see, I have those lines of 1s next each of the book titles under the subtotal, and I was wondering if there was a way to disable them because they look quite distracting. Thanks so much!!!
Pivot table values will always show. Filtering, as suggested in a comment, is probably not what you want.
You could use conditional formatting to hide the 1's for the individual values. In the screenshot, I'm counting the "Title" column of the data. Select one of the "1" values, then click Home ribbon > Conditional formatting > New Rule
Click the option highlighted with the arrow. It will show your column name instead of "title".
Then click "Use a formula to determine ...." and enter the formula like below:
My selected cell is F6 and whatever cell you have selected needs to go into the formula box WITHOUT the dollar signs!
Next click the Format button and use either white font on white background, or a custom number format ;;;.
Confirm all the dialogs and enjoy the result. Note how the subtotal "1" for 30-Jun did not disappear, because the conditional format acts only on cells showing "Count of title" values for "Title", as ticked in my first screenshot.
I have a range of dates in the following format
Hire TERM ReHire1 TERM2 ReHire2 TERM3 ReHire3 TERM4
The problem is that some rows might be missing a date, say a row will have dates in all but 'term' (B2). I can go in and use the filters to show blanks, but this becomes a nuisance when there are 15-20 date columns. Is there a formula that will look at the whole range and return an error of sort where there are empty cells?
Below is a comma delimited sample data that you can import into excel to help illustrate.
Hire,TERM,ReHire,TERM,ReHire,TERM,ReHire,TERM
05/06/2002,12/09/2002,,05/12/2003,02/10/2004,03/29/2005,,
05/30/2000,05/24/2004,09/27/2004,11/27/2004,,08/31/2006,05/24/2007,
03/15/2004,02/01/2005,02/16/2005,06/13/2005,02/06/2006,03/13/2006,10/14/2007,01/06/2008
03/13/1998,08/28/1998,,11/20/2000,11/03/2002,07/23/2009,09/08/2009,11/21/2009
07/12/2007,05/01/2009,07/12/2007,05/01/2009,07/28/2011,,07/28/2011,
12/20/2004,11/11/2005,02/23/2009,11/25/2009,08/10/2010,08/24/2010,,
08/23/2001,08/11/2002,,11/22/2006,01/15/2007,,,
Additional details per feedback:
A missing value -or "gap" as I call it- would be if a row has dates under hire and rehire but no date on Term.
You can either:
Split your data with Excel builtin solution and choose to split on commas ,
Select your data on Excel
Then click on "Data", "Text To Columns..."
Click on the "Delimited" radio button
Then click on the "Next" button, in "Delimeters" put a checkmark in "Comma"
Then click on the "Finish" button.
and then find the empty cells with a conditional formula
Use this kind of formula
=IF(ISERR(FIND(",,",A1)),"Missing value","")
to check if there is any missing value
One option would be to use conditional formatting on the cells. In Excel 2010, highlight the data range, pick "home->conditional formatting->highlight cell rules->more rules".
Then pick "format only cells that contain" and change the drop down with "Cell Value" to "Blanks" and click the "Format..." button and set how you want it highlighted (Fill color to yellow for example).
Alternativley, you could add a formulae "countblank" either over the the entire range or a subrange (row for example) and it will specify the number of blank cells. For example, you could in the final column add "=countblank(a2:h2)" and then filter the results for anything greater than 0. This would show you all the rows with missing data and you could correct them as needed.
I have imported your data into Excel 2011 on a mac.
If I understand your question, all you want to do is to find the empty cells. Then you just press CMD-F or CTRL-F on windows to start a search. You just leave the search field empty. Excel will then show you the empty fields one by one.
I need a formula that is beyond me and my Excel skills, I need to insert the number of times a match is found in column A into column C and then insert the total number of days for that person in column D. Can anyone help?
In cell C2:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A$6,A2)
In cell D2:
=SUMIF(A$2:A$6,A2,B$2:B$6)

Have you considered using a pivot table? It's a little bit overkill but greatly simplifies what you want to do. Assuming your using Excel 2007:
Select the range of data including column labels.
Go to Insert->[Tables]->PivotTable.
In the dialog box that appears, select Existing Worksheet, choose a cell a click OK.
At this point, the PivotTable pane appears with your field names in one box and four other labeled boxes below.
Drag Name to the Row Labels box.
Drag Name to the Values box.
Drag Days to the Values box.
You're done!
