Excel formula: SUMIFS with multiple criteria and OR logic | Exceljet

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/31

As I need this one day:

To sum based on multiple criteria using OR logic, you can use the SUMIFS function with an array constant. In the example shown, the formula in H6 is:

=SUM(SUMIFS(E4:E11,D4:D11,{"complete","pending"}))

Display the relationships between formulas and cells – Excel

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/18

The “Formulas” tab has to buttons that help to Display the relationships between formulas and cells – Excel [WayBack]:

  • Precedent cells —   cells that are referred to by a formula in another cell. For example, if cell D10 contains the formula =B5, then cell B5 is a precedent to cell D10.
  • Dependent cells —    these cells contain formulas that refer to other cells. For example, if cell D10 contains the formula =B5, cell D10 is a dependent of cell B5.

To assist you in checking your formulas, you can use the Trace Precedents and Trace Dependentscommands to graphically display and trace the relationships between these cells and formulas with tracer arrows, as shown in this figure.

worksheet function – How to add or subtract to, or increment, column letters in Excel? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/13

[WayBack] worksheet function – How to add or subtract to, or increment, column letters in Excel? – Super User:

Here’s the best I’ve found so far: =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,( COLUMN() + 1 ),4),1,"")The part in the middle marked in bold is the only part that changes. In this example, it’s taking the current column and adding 1, so returning B if it’s in column A and AA if it’s in column Z.

It is related to the question and answer [WayBack] Formula to return just the Column Letter in excel – Super User:

FYI on your original formula you don’t actually need to call the CELL formula to get row and column you can use:

=ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())

Then as an extension of that you can use MID & SEARCH to find the $ and trim down the output so you are just left with the letter:

=MID(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),SEARCH("$",ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))+1,SEARCH("$",ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),SEARCH("$",ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))+1)-2)

edit You can even simplify this further:

=MID(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),2,SEARCH("$",ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),2)-2)

And it is part of a much more elaborate answer

Removing “Workbook Contains Macros” Prompt – Free Excel\VBA Help Forum

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/22

This indeed was an Excel 2011 for Mac thing.

Even without macros or VBA modules, Excel 2011 for Mac shows this dialog when opening a .xls file.

The solution was simple: save as .xlsx.

Return empty cell from formula in Excel – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/19

I never thought you could do it, but you can: [Archive.isReturn empty cell from formula in Excel – Stack Overflow.

You have to crate:

  • a VBA function
  • a reference to a range that evaluates the function so it returns blank
  • a cell with a function that blanks the cell using the range

Convoluted, but clever!

Download Earlier Versions of Office: 2010/2013

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/18

Not sure how long these will stay valid, but apparently my nl_office_professional_plus_2010_with_sp1_x86_x64_dvd_731121.iso was damaged (I forgot to check the hash) but I could download a fresh one from [WayBackDownload Earlier Versions of Office.

If you cannot find it by product key (I also tried it with a Visio one: worked fine too), then you can use [WayBackOffice 2010 direct link, X16-32250.exe, X16-32213.exe which are archived here:

How to Extract a Number or Text from Excel with this Function

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/11

Lots of fuzz, but the formula towards the end worked:

=SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A1,LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW($1:$25),1))*
ROW($1:$25),0),ROW($1:$25))+1,1)*10^ROW($1:$25)/10)
