worksheet-function

VBA for Access lacks a simple Max(x,y) function to find the mathematical maximum of two or more values. I'm accustomed to having such a function already in the base API coming from other languages such as perl/php/ruby/python etc. I know it can be done: IIf(x > y, x,y) . Are there any other solutions available? I'll interpret the question to read: How does one implement a function in Access that returns the Max/Min of an array of numbers? Here's the code I use (named "iMax" by analogy with IIf, i.e., "Immediate If"/"Immediate Max"): Public Function iMax(ParamArray p()) As Variant ' Idea from

I have an excel sheet. Under column E, I have 425 cells with data. I want to check if the same data (i.e. text inside the cell) is repeated anywhere else in any of the remaining 424 cells under column E. How do I do this? For example, in E54 I have Hello Jack How would I check this value to see if it was in any other of these cells? You could use =SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(E1:E425,E1:E425)) to count the number of unique cells in E1:425 An answer of 425 means all the values are unique. An answer of 421 means 4 values are duplicates of other value(s) Use Conditional Formatting on all the cells that

I need to create a very big Excel file, but excel file in one worksheet can contain up to 65k rows. So, i want to divide all my info into several worksheets dynamical. This is my approximate code //------------------Create Excel App-------------------- Excel.Application xlApp; Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook; Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet; object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; xlApp = new Excel.Application(); xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue); xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)xlWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(numberOfLetters); foreach (string letter in letters) { xlWorkSheet.Cells

Is there some way of getting an array in Excel of a smaller size than a starting array in a cell worksheet function? So if I had: {23, "", 34, 46, "", "16"} I'd end up with: {23, 34, 46, 16} which I could then manipulate with some other function. Conclusion: If I was to do a lot of these I would definitely use jtolle's UDF comb solution. The formula that PPC uses is close, but diving in and testing, I found it gives errors in the empty slots, misses the first value, and there is an easier way to get the row numbers, so here is my final solution: =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6, SMALL(IF(($A$1:$A$6<>"
