Conditional Formatting - multlple cell changes

$

I am trying to change the color of multiple cells based upon a value that will change based on a score.  I have a table set up that shows 10 - 1 from cells A10:A19, and depending upon the score, B23 will equal one of these scores.  For instance, if the cell =B23=4, then I wish for cells B16:B19 to be highlighted with the darker gray.  Consequently if the cell =B23=5, then I wish for the cells B15:B19 to be highlighted with the darker gray, and so on.  I can only get the conditional format to highlight the first cell (i.e. if the score is 4, then it will only gray cell B16) and no cells beneath it.  Any help is appreciated as I've tried working the conditions from bottom up and vice versa thinking I was breaking rules, but with no positive results.  Thank you in advance!

A10 = 10

A11 = 9

A12 = 8

A13 = 7

A14 = 6

A15 = 5

A16 = 4

A17 = 3

A18 = 2

A19 = 1

Excel 2010 table - expand formula in a column as new rows are added / changed

$

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2010 and am accessing data from a MS SQL server (server 2008).  My data is returned to Excel in a table.  As I refresh my data, and rows are added or removed, I'm like the formulas to automatically be populated in my new rows.  I have my formula in a column of the spreadsheet.  i find that as I refresh the workbook, I get a #REF message returned.

I'm not sure if this makes it more tricky, but my formula is checking a value of a previous row.  

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Display resorted table in excel without sorting original table

$
0
0

I have a table in Excel sorted on Column A then B. I wish to redisplay the the data from the first table (right next to the first table), sorted on Column E then A then B. Column E mostly contains numbers but some cells have question marks. Column A is text and Column B is numbers.

Here are the first three rows:

Level    Seq   Room     Location        Circuit
00 Ext   1     Yard     Lights Flood    ?
00 Ext   2     Garage   Lights Garage   24

I would like to display the two tables side-by-side so they can be printed on the same sheet of paper and (in my particular problem) taped to the inside cover of the electrical service panel.

I believe this is done by an array function but none of my Google searches have revealed anything I can understand well enough to find the answer for myself. Prolly 'cause I don't know how to ask the question property. I'm certain this is a pretty easy problem to solve, just not for me. I know I can cut and paste and do it manually, but I prefer to have the computer do the work whenever possible.

I need to avoid VBA in the solution. Personally I would like a solution that doesn't require use of Index/Match, though I recognize that that might not be an option.

Thanks to all.

Excel 2016 returns wrong last saved value during "don't update"

$

Good day, everyone. I have encountered a strange case, Excel 2016 returns a wrong value when it opens a workbook (create and saved by Excel 2010 SP2) contains a cell referred to an external workbook with formula during click "don't update", and the cell being referred in the external workbook was empty:

Main workbook "A" contains 2 cells with formula and referred to an external workbook "B" 

A1 referred to a cell D17 (empty cell) in the external workbook "B":=Sheet1!B1+'[B.xlsx]Sheet1!D$17$

A2 referred to a cell H9 (value 77) in the external workbook "B": ='[B.xlsx]Sheet1!H$9$

When open workbook "A" by Excel 2010 can shows A1 as 0 and A2 shows as 77 that expected.

But when open workbook "A" by Excel 2016 shows A1 as 77 and A2 shows as 77 that abnormally.

I drilled this issue and found it will be happened in Excel 2016:

1. When the workbook.xml using CalcId 145621 <CalcPr CalcId="145621"/> and

2. When externallink1.xml using <row r="9"><cell r="H9"><v>77</v></cell></row><row r="17"><cell r="D17"/></row>

I have some questions to seek your help:

1 - May I know anyone encountered same issue and know which hotfix can be applied to solve this problem?

(I opened a case to Premier support already, but the escalation engineer didn't know what is happening so far)

2 - Where I can find the CalcId full list to have a further investigation?

Thank you in advanced.

Problem with Referencing Formula

$

How should this be written as a result of a recent change I made?  We placed a macro in the workbook to automatically delete blank rows, but it messes up the formula I made in cell I12 copied down through I36 as seen below.  Can this be written somehow to only reference cells down to just above the blank cell in column B? 

Example - If after blank rows have been deleted there is only data in column B12:B22 then it would see the blank in B23 and only include cells I12:I22 respectively.

=IFERROR(IF(AND(COUNT(G12)=1,OR($G$12*$H$12<0,$G$13*$H$13<0,$G$14*$H$14<0,$G$15*$H$15<0,$G$16*$H$16<0,$G$17*$H$17<0,$G$18*$H$18<0,$G$19*$H$19<0,$G$20*$H$20<0,$G$21*$H$21<0,$G$22*$H$22<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0,#REF!*#REF!<0)),G12*(1-H12),""),"")

AutoRecover error in Excel 2010?

$
0

Hi,

One of my users has recently been getting a pop up in Excel saying that it cannot access the file ...AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\~ar6ADB.xar.  She has full rights to the folder but the .xar file isn't being created.

Any thoughts what might cause this?

The message goes on to suggest a few causes:

The file name or path does not exist.  This isn't the case because the file won't exist until Excel creates and the path is certainly there.

The file is being used by another program.  She isn't logged into any other computers so I don't know how this can be happening.  We've rebooted the computer many times.

The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as the currently open workbook.  We've made sure it is the only workbook open.

So I'm stumped, unless it is something odd happening with her roaming profile.

Thanks in advance,

Linn


p.s. There are no other xar files in that folder either.

Massive Performance Decline Since Excel 2003 - Any Suggestions?

$
0

I am writing to see if anyone has a suggestion to make my current version of Excel perform calculations and VBA as quickly as older versions of Excel.  I have just installed Office 2016 x64 on a brand-new Windows 10 x64 i7-7500U laptop with 16GB of RAM.  The first thing I did was to fire up an old VBA-enabled workbook that I have been running since 2004 to test Excel's speed.  Unfortunately, the results of the test were worse than the results on my previous machine (which was a 4-year-old processor, less RAM and Excel 2013 x32), which was itself worse than previous machines. Performance peaked with Excel 2007 on a Dell OptiPlex GX745 with 2GB RAM. Why does it keep dropping? 

As background, the Excel workbook and macro were initially set up to solve a highschool math problem. The workbook fills in random numbers and checks to see if it has happened upon the solution, and if not fills in a new set of random numbers. I then added some code to have it loop through 1000 iterations and record how many loops it took to solve the problem 1000 times, and divide by the number of seconds it took to run, to give me the number of loops per second. I know that my code could probably be streamlined significantly (turn of screen updating, etc.), but that’s not the point. The point is that the same code has been run on 20 different PCs over 13 years, so I should have an apples-to-apples comparison. Since the PCs have been getting faster, with more/faster RAM, results should be improving. But instead, they are declining.

The first machine I ran the test on was an IBM ThinkPad T21 laptop with a P3-800 processor and a whopping 512MB of RAM, which eked out 1,343 loops/second. The best was the OptiPlex, which did 7,221 loops per second.  My 3-year old Dell Precision T1700 with an i7-4770 and 32GB of RAM (running Office 2016 32-bit) did 3,467 loops/second, half the speed of the ten-year-old OptiPlex! And my brand-new i7 laptop running Excel 2016 x64 just managed 846 loops/second. Yes, 50% worse than a 15-year-old ThinkPad, and 88% worse than a 9-year-old desktop. That is pathetic.

Is there anything that can be done about this?  It is crazy that Excel’s performance has degraded that significantly over time. I feel like I must be missing something.

If it’s helpful, below is the VBA code used.  As you can see, it is nothing fancy.

 
Sub Loop1()

' This loop runs until selected cell is True

Dim i As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Timestart As Double
Dim Timeend As Double
Dim Timeelapsed As Integer

Range("Loops").ClearContents
Range("Elapsed").ClearContents
Timestart = Now
Timeelapsed = 0

    For Count = 42 To 1041
    Range("Current").Value = Count - 41
        i = 0
        Do
        Calculate
        i = i + 1
        Loop Until Range("Overall") = "True"
    Cells(Count, 3).Value = i
    Next Count

Timeend = Now
Timeelapsed = (Timeend - Timestart) * 86400
Range("Elapsed").Value = Timeelapsed
MsgBox ("Nerd Alert: Done!")

End Sub


RTD function in Excel

I use =RTD("servername",,"LAST",A1) where A1 is the ticker symbol to pull real time price data. How can I add second input A2 which references a certain date so I can pull the settlement price for that symbol on that date?

Obviously any other solution that doesn't involve "real time" would work too given its pulling historical data.

Any help would be appreciated,thanks.

Filtering Data For Current Month And Days That Have Passed

Excel experts, thank you for all your support this year. I have another request:

I have a date field in excel that I would like to filter for only if the date falls in the current month AND if the date is today or in the past.

So for example today is the 2nd so the filter would show me any row that is equal to today or yesterday.

This is the filter I currently have, it filters out if the cell falls in the current month only, so it shows me rows that are in the future for the current month, what tweak do I need to accomplish my request?

ActiveSheet.Range("$A$6:$EX$1000").AutoFilter Field:=31, _
           Criteria1:=Array("="), Operator:=xlFilterValues, Criteria2:=Array(1, Now)

IF I HAVE A MACRO ENABLED WORKBOOK ON A LOCAL (SHARED) SERVER THAT SAVES ITS DATA IN OTHER WORKBOOKS (BECAUSE ITS MACRO ENABLED) CAN I LINK IT TO A ONE DRIVE FOR BUSINESS ACCOUNT AND HAVE IT WORK PROPERLY?

MEANING IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO ACCESS THE SAME MACRO ENABLED FILE AT THE SAME TIME - WILL IT GIVE THE PROPER ERROR OF "THIS FILE IS READ ONLY" SINCE SOMEONE HAS OPENED IT 1 SECOND BEFORE YOU..ETC. 

OR WOULD IT NOT SYNC SIMULTANEOUSLY AND APPEAR THAT 2 PEOPLE ARE WORKING ON THE SAME WORKBOOK AT THE SAME TIME

PLEASE HELP!

MRound vs. Round in Microsoft Office Excel 2016 (16.0.4432.1000)

$

210 x 1.15 = 241.50

So why does MRound((210*1.15),1) give a result of $242.00, while Round((210*1.15),0) give a result of $241.00

These should give identical results since MRound will round the result to the nearest multiple of 1, and Round will round the result to the nearest whole number....

"From Web" button in Excel allows for unprotecting internet browsing.

The "New Web Query" (in Excel Office 365) feature available by clicking "From Web" on Data tab allows unprotected internet access. This option bypassed all adult control filters I use to protect my children from harmful content and there is no option to disable it permanently. I've used "Customize Ribbon" to temporarily hide but this can easily be overcome by tech-savvy child. Is there a more permanent fix for this problem?
