johnm says:

I tin't get whatsoever of your solutions to work. Was working happily with Excel 2010 until I bought the latest version and at present I am really in the sh..house.
It begins with the fact that a value of 25.10 is automatically converted to October 25 (except if I put a space in front of the number) and the Autosum button asks for the manual input of the range and and so enters 0,0 (not even 0.0) as the result.
Is there a manner to go back to a previous version or simply click on the Σ as in the good old days?
Best regards

I have a spreadsheet used to record expenses that has x50 rows today but will be added to on a daily footing. I want to be able to total the expense amount cavalcade and so that when I add together new rows, the "totals" formula at the bottom remains correct (ie I don't take to change the range every time I add new rows). I thought I could enter eg =SUM(B:B) and information technology would always total column B but information technology returns 0 every time! It works in other sheets but non this one! What am I doing wrong please? Cheers
- Clare says:
  
  Update. I've formatted the column in question as "numbers". However, now when I enter the formula =SUM(B:B) it tells me that it'due south a circular reference!!!
- Hello Clare!
  I recall your formula = SUM (B: B) is written in one of the cells in column B. Thus, it refers to itself, which is unacceptable. Did you ignore the warning that appeared when you wrote this formula? Write it in another column.
  I recommend using the Excel Tabular array to calculate the totals.

- Hi Lulubelle,
  if the totals are in J column (starting from J1) and you need to multiply them by 4 and return the result in column H, and so put the following formula in H1:
  =J1*4
  To apply the formula to the whole column, position the cursor to the lower right corner of the cell with the formula, await until it turns into the plus sign, and then double-click the plus.
  
  If yous want to summate everything in the same column, you volition need to read this role of the commodity, since there are some important steps to follow.

I take been checking how but haven't establish nevertheless. The trouble is that I have huge matrices, that contain thousands of values, then I can't really do by paw one past one, plus I tin make errors continously due to mistaking lines...It would take me weeks...

Could anyone tell me how to get this in an automated manner?

Thank you very much!

Yasemin says:

Could somebody help me in finding a formula that suits my needs? Through using conditional formatting, I used the highlight cell rule if it has text that contains key words. I want a formula to highlight the row in the same colour as the fundamental give-and-take column. E.g. if cells in column c contain the word Apple tree, highlight the cells greenish. If cells C8 and C12 contain that word, I so want those two rows (eight and 12) to highlight greenish. I apologise if the answer'south really obvious, I'grand just really stuck!
- Hi Yasemin,
  
  Please try to exercise the following:
  1. Select cells with your data.
  3. Click Conditional Formatting -> New Dominion.
  4. Select the "Use a formula to decide which cells to format".
  5. In the Formula field type the following formula:
  =NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("Apple", $C1)))
  6. Click the Format button to set the format you need.
  7. Click OK.

Raghu Setty says:

when I insert information into columns and printing automobile sum, i get the total. But when I delete the data from i of the column, the total however remains the same. It doesn't change. How do i rectify this problem?
Ryan says:

Amanda,

The semi-manual approach to help transmission deletion would be to use Auto Filter or Sort to display sorted lists sorted by column C, then column B (where C is the aforementioned) and so column A (where the previous two are the same), then column D (where all are the aforementioned). This way you lot get a block of rows with Jane, Smith, Excel Training Basics, Engagement and can keep the latest date and delete the rest.

The automated way would be to insert a new Worksheet to bear witness the latest training only, leaving previous training on your existing Worksheet, say "Sheet1". You could and then write a Visual Bones macro to copy rows from "Sheet1" into your new sheet, sort them and find the most recent dates of each instance where A, B, and C match up. Recording a macro where you manually invoke the appropriate Copy and Sort volition help you see which functions to phone call to automate it, but it's hardly a beginner'due south job.
- Cheers for your assist, Ryan!

this volition remove all duplicate preparation and keep only their most current grooming record.

Any suggestions? i'm stumped on this one.
