Help with a calculated field in a PivotTable

$
0
0

Hi, I am trying to write a formula for a calculated field inside a Pivot Table.   I want to return the value 1 if the row value is equal to "New York", and zero otherwise.  My formula is

 

 =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(City, "New York" ) ),1,0 ) 

 

However, the formula always returns zero.   Please see the attached screen shot.

 

Thanks, Ben.

Int function used on a whole number (integer) yield integer-1

$

I am using INT() as part of a table wherein values are multiplied and divided, then the INT() function is used to display only the whole number value as the result is an average events and cannot be less than whole.

This has probably happened multiple times but I noticed this time as the math was simple & should have yielded an integer of 100. Instead it displayed 99.  Removing the INT() portion of the calculation displayed the correct 100 result. Using INT() in the next cell over brought that value back to 99.

Trying INT(100/5) yields 4. What is going on here?

PS - is this due to rounding error I read about elsewhere?

Excel row height changes when it should not change

$

I have a client using Office 2010 on a Citrix server. They are using Windows XP Pro SP3 for the desktop and the server is running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD.

I have two users working in a spreadsheet in Excel 2010. The spreadsheet opens fine and they can perform their updates by either adding manually or doing a cut and paste. The problem comes up when all of the sudden a number of rows in the spreadsheet change height for not reason. The spreadheet has the row height set to 14.5 but for some reason the rows that change height sent the height to 405.9. Usually all the user has to do is go back and reset the row height on these cells and save before they can go back to making changes.

It's more annoying then anything else so if someone could provide any solutions, it would be greatly apppreciated.

thanks, Joe Trainor

Excel 2016 slow to open files on Window 10 machine when you are not an admin

$

We recently rolled out a small pilot group of Win10/Office 2016 (coming from Win7/Office 2010).  Using the new version of Excel on Win10 takes about 10 seconds longer to open files compared to the old version (or the new version on Win7).  It seems more evident with .xlsm files.  Here is what I tried/ruled out:

Office 16 32 vs. 64 bit behaved the same on Windows 10

Removed any links to files and cleaned up formatting, and name ranges

Copied the file locally to take the network out of the mix

Disabled all add-ins

Installed Office 16 on a Win7 machine and it was faster to open

What I discovered is that if you run Excel 2016 on a Windows 10 machine as an administrator, the file opens as expected.  Since none of our users are admins on their machines, this is going to be a huge problem.  Has anyone run into this yet?

I should also mention that the Win7 (32-bit) computers are about 3 years old and the Win10 (64-bit) computers are brand new.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a table of data like this

CountLocationCategory
0Local1Cat1
1Local3Cat1
2Local1Cat2
4Local1Cat1
0Local1Cat2
1Local2Cat1
2Local2Cat1
3Local1Cat2
4Local1Cat1

I would like to be able to use one of the formulas below to exclude from the totals rows that get filtered out, but I can't get either formula to wok (colum letters are A,B,C ):

  • =SUBTOTAL(109,SUMIFS(A2:A10,B2:B10,"Local2",C2:C20,"Cat1"))
  • =SUMIFS(SUBTOTAL(109,A2:A10),B2:B10,"Local2",C2:C10,"Cat1")

Can this be done in onteof these ways?  If not, how can it be done?

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks,


RTD Function not working

Hi, 

I am trying to link excel to thinkorswim to pull data from it about stocks I have on a watchlist. In previous versions of excel, the following formula worked: =RTD("tos.rtd", , "LAST" , "SGMD"). LAST means the last traded price of the stock, which in this case is SGMD. My friend uses an older version of excel and it works for him but I have the 2016 version and it shows a blank cell. Can anyone help me with this? 

Thanks


Excel 2013 - Pivot Table copying issue with refence names of tables not changing

$

I have spent the last few hours looking here and other sites for help.

Copying or hitting "Save as" for a workbook with pivot tables in it, and changing the workbook name, results in the pivot tables only pointing to the original workbook.

From what I can gather, you need a special macro to be able to run each time, to fix the name issue.

Problem is, I have 4 tables supplying data to 18 pivot tables, which makes the macro difficult to customise, and a work security setting on our PCs that ban macros from running. (I think we need a letter from Bill Gates to allow them or something.)

Is there any other way that has been discovered, to fix this problem?

Also, how come this has been a problem for 10+ years in Excel????

Hello, <o:p></o:p>

My Bursar has a file that I can open and view, because he has given me those rights.<o:p></o:p>

However when the Bursar who is the owner of the file tries to open the excel spread sheet it gives the following error:  You do not have credentials that allow you to open this workbook. You can request updated permission from (the Bursar email address).  Do you want to request updated permission?

How can I allow the owner to open the workbook?

"Errors were detected while saving (filename). Microsoft excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features. To make the repairs in a new file click Continue. To cancel saving the file click Cancel.

Seems after we upgraded to Office 2016, some users are receiving this error in Excel and now also Power Point.

If user opens an existing .xlsx file, makes changes, then goes to save the file, they receive this error.  same for when creating a new file, with the defaults set to .xlsx type file:

"Errors were detected while saving (filename). Microsoft excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features. To make the repairs in a new file click Continue. To cancel saving the file click Cancel.  clicking continue to do a repair does not work.  

For now, a work around is to save it as a .xls type file.  Has anyone seen this issue and what is the fix.  Since it's now also happening with some Power Point files, i would assume its an Office issue, not just Excel.

I have been getting the following error everytime I try to open any Office product today.  For example, for Word it is this.  I ran an SFC scannow and it says there are corrupt files found.  I am trying to locate the CBS.log that it says it created but having a challenge.  Any suggestions how to fix.  This may have happened yesterday when my system froze upon booting.  It may have been completing a system update and I didn't know it and restarted it.

I used the formula to change the cell setting in the lower part to "", and set the cell border setting to none in the conditional format. I want to display the cell and content when there is data. If there is no data, this is not displayed, but But this part will always be printed when printing, always make a blank sheet of paper.

Integrate Excel survey with Office products for Automated Reporting

$

Hi All,

I have a simple quantitative survey (4 column, 10 rows) that I'll send to about 100 of my clients. Hence I don't think I need a proper Access DB.

I would like to know which would be the best approach to automate the process of gathering data and reporting.

My understanding is that the flow between office products may be:

- Survey compilation in Sharepoint/Powerapps/Infopath;

- Data analytics in Excel/Power BI;

- Automated reporting to the user that compiled the survey.

I am perfectly confident with Excel, PowerPivot, PowerBI, but I have no experience in automating data gathering and reporting to the respective client.

Want to know if someone could suggest the easiest products to use in order to reach this goal.

Thanks

Did I make myself clear?

Can you help me with this?

I was wondering how I can set up my Excel sheet to automatically enter a value in one cell based on the content of another.  I'm filling out contact information (name, address, town, county).  I was wondering if I could have it automatically enter the county based on the town entered in the previous column?

Hi 

I am looking for some help in regards to logic statements. I don't know if what I want is possible. 

I would like to be able to have an if/else statement that reads: 'if there is a numerical value present complete this calculation (=(((H9/100)/0.00785)*385)/(G9*1000)) ELSE if the value is 'n.d.' calculated value should be zero.'

Can I do that? 

Thanks!
