worksheet-function

If I have a set of cells in a worksheet that I want to add up, I can use the formula: =SUM(Sheet1!A1:A10) To do this in a sub, I would use: Sub example1() Dim r As Range, v As Variant Set r = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A10") v = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(r) End Sub If, however, I want to add up a single cell across many worksheets, I use the formula: =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet38!B2) In VBA this line fails miserably, as explained in Specify an Excel range across sheets in VBA : Sub dural() v = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum("Sheet1:Sheet3!B2") End Sub I have two workarounds. I can the the sum

Excel: What function can I use to take the all the characters from the beginning to the first '<". I am trying to strip out the first word from A1 and put it into B1 Eg: A1 Toronto<b> is nice I want "Toronto" in the next cell. Ian How about something like =LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)-1) or =LEFT(A1,SEARCH("<b>",A1)-1) Have a look at MS Excel: Search Function and Excel 2007 LEFT Function Peter Walke If you want to cater to 1-word cell, use this... based upon astander's =IFERROR(LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)-1),A1) Kamil K. Wawrzyszko I found this on exceljet.net and works for me: =LEFT(B4,FIND(" ",B4)-1)

I have a large data set with over 80K entries of the following form: Name Date Value 1T17_4H19_3T19_3T21_2_a_2 09-Aug-11 -9.3159 1T17_4H19_3T19_3T21_2_a_2 10-Aug-11 -6.9662 1T17_4H19_3T19_3T21_2_a_2 11-Aug-11 -3.4886 1T17_4H19_3T19_3T21_2_a_2 12-Aug-11 -1.2357 1T17_4H19_3T19_3T21_2_a_2 15-Aug-11 0.1172 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4H34_3_3_3 19-Jun-12 -2.0805 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4H34_3_3_3 20-Jun-12 -1.9802 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4H34_3_3_3 21-Jun-12 -2.8344 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4Q32_a_a_a 25-Sep-07 -0.5779 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4Q32_a_a_a 26-Sep-07 -0.8214 5 25_4Q27_4T30_4Q32_a_a_a 27-Sep-07 -1.4061 This data is all contained in a

A recurring Excel problem I have is formulas such as INDEX(array,row,column) that return 0 when there's no result, rather than returning blank. What is the best way to change the zero result to blank? Here are approaches that I have tried so far: 1) Using division by zero. If INDEX returns 0, I cause an error that I then filter out. =IFERROR(1/1/INDEX(A,B,C),"") CONS: Makes the formula more messy and hides errors you may want to see. 2) Using custom formatting 0;-0;;@ CONS: 1) can't simultaneously apply date format 2) It doesn't work with conditional formatting when it comes to checking for

I have an interesting challenge - I need to run a check on the following data in Excel: | A - B - C - D | |------|------|------|------| | 36 | 0 | 0 | x | | 0 | 600 | 700 | x | |___________________________| You'll have to excuse my wonderfully bad ASCII art. So I need the D column (x) to run a check against the adjacent cells, then convert the values if necessary. Here's the criteria: If column B is greater than 0, everything works great and I can get coffee. If it doesn't meet that requirement, then I need to convert A1 according to a table - for example, 32 = 1420 and place into D .

In a worksheet function in Excel, how do you self-reference the cell, column or row you're in? Note that this is extremely useful for conditional formatting. Matt J where F13 is the cell you need to reference: =CELL("Row",F13) yields 13; its row number =CELL("Col",F13) yields 6; its column number; =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(F13)*1,4),"1","") yields F; its column letter For a cell to self-reference itself: INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())) For a cell to self-reference its column: INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN()) & ":" & ADDRESS(65536, COLUMN())) For a cell to self-reference its row: INDIRECT
