Excell workbooks I have a spreadsheet that contains many columns (project number, project type, start date, client...). What I would like to do is have various workbooks that display the information sorted in different ways (project number, project type, start date, client...) What I would like is to be able to input new jobs in the "project number" workbook and have it automatically insert the information into all other workbooks in accordance with their specified sorts.

open Excel
Click the 'Microsoft Office' button and click 'Excel Options'. Click the 'Formulas' button. From 'Calculation options' section, un-select the 'Automatically' option. then use file->open->yourfile.xlsx. It should now open. Find the circular reference and fix it. Then save the file.

A workbook is a spreadsheet file. By default, each workbook in Excel contains three pages or worksheet

The term spreadsheet is often used to refer to a workbook, when in actual fact, spreadsheet refers to the computer program, such as Excel.

So, strictly speaking, when you open the Excel spreadsheet program it loads an empty workbook file consisting of three blank worksheets for you to use.

Hi,

Microsoft Excel is a commercial spreadsheet application . It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications.
Microsoft Excel has the basic features of all spreadsheets, using a grid of cells arranged in numbered rows and letter-named columns to organize data manipulations like arithmetic operations. It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical, engineering and financial needs. In addition, it can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with a very limited three-dimensional graphical display.

It is possible you have locked the spreadsheet. I would check the spreadsheet to see if you have locked or protected the rows or columns or, maybe even the entire spreadsheet.

Hi JK,
We have to use the combination of dynamic list and indirect() function.
and offcourse countif() and if().

If you need the solution from me, Please send me the sample sheet on [email protected] so that I can send you the solution sheet.

not really
Just create the
formula =if(e1=1,"X",if(e1=2,"Z","")) in cell K1 then
formula =if(f1=1,"X",if(f1=2,"Z"),"") in cell L1 then
formula =if(g1=1,"X",if(g1=2,"Z","")) in cell m1 then
formula =if(H1=1,"X",if(h1=2,"Z","")) in cell N1 then
if you wanted another statement
formula =if(H1=1,"X",if(h1=2,"Z",if(h1=3,"Y,""))) in cell N1
this is nesting the if statement you just keep adding conditions.
What you are asking I have to type this in 600 times
No just do one line and then highlight the cells with the if in it and then select copy from edit menu or right click and select copy
Then click on next 599 cells by clicking on first cell and hold mouse button down and drag down mouse to last 1000 row of cell and right click mouse and select paste. The formulas will alter accordingly as pasted to each cell

You could also use a vlookup statement
you open another workbook look at bottom of worksheet for tabs to add a workbook.
Then you create a table in other workbook
1 cell A1 H in B1
2 cell A2 Z in B2

you would still need to copy the cells down

Either you need to upgrade your version of Excel or the person creating the spreadsheet needs to save it in a format for compatability. For example, the person who created the workbook simply needs to do File and Save As. Under type, one can choose a format for older versions of Excel.

Hope this helps!

For Current Date - you can use the =Now() function in your cell where you want the date.

For Contract #, I don't know what you're using, but you can link to a database of contract #s (see below), or you can name a range like current contract #, which gets updated by 1 each time you add another contract, which then is automatically posted on your EXCEL



DGET(database,field,criteria)
Database is the range of cells that makes up the list or database. A database is a list of related data in which rows of related information are records, and columns of data are fields. The first row of the list contains labels for each column.
Field indicates which column is used in the function. Enter the column label enclosed between double quotation marks, such as "Age" or "Yield," or a number (without quotation marks) that represents the position of the column within the list: 1 for the first column, 2 for the second column, and so on.
Criteria is the range of cells that contains the conditions that you specify. You can use any range for the criteria argument, as long as it includes at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label in which you specify a condition for the column.

THERE MAY BE ERROR IN OFFICE INSTALLATION SO PLZ UNINSTALL YOUR OFFICE AND REINSTALL THE OFFICE

Since you are searching the data by the phone number , first select all the data in the spreadsheet and sort it in ascending order by the phone number.
Then, assuming you have 5 columns of data A through E, and the phone numbers are in column E, with row 1 occupied by column headings, use the following formula in cell F2=IF(E2=E1,"Duplicate",1)

Drag this formula down column F till the end of your data
Select the entire data and do an auto filter
In column F filter the data by Duplicate and delete all these rows
What remains should be unique data
