A formula answer that I just can't wrap my brain around!
I received great help on an early formula, and I'm trying to analyze my data
one other way, and can't seem to think of the best way to write out what I need. Here goes an example. Any help would be greatly appreciated: Disch Program Q #1 Q #1 Date at Admit at Disch Column A Column B Column C Column D Sep 1, 08 CIC 5 15 (Improvement) Sep 15, 08 TP 10 10 (Stayed the Same) Sep 21, 08 CIC 10 5 (Got Worse) Sep 22, 08 CIC 5 5 (Stayed the Same) Sep 22, 08 TP 15 10 (Got Worse) What I want to compare a improvement, stayed the same, and got worse within each program. Thus, in the above example, I would look at Improvement, stayed the same or got worse for individuals in our CIC program separately from individuals in TP or OP. What I want to obtain is a raw score value that would tell me: Of the (3) CIC individuals discharged: 1 Improved, 1 stayed the same, and 1 got worse. I'll do this for the individuals in OP and TP separately, but once I get one formula I should be able to figure out the others. HELP, I can't wrap my mind around it. I'm grabbling the data off of one sheet (entitle: 'Raw Data'!), and placing it on another sheet (outcomes). Thus I know I need to reference/qualify the raw data sheet using the above string of formula as I attempt to generate the information on my outcomes sheet. Any suggestions? Hope I provided enough information to solve the formula! Dan |

hi
if i understand correctly, try something like this.... =IF(D5C5,"Got Better",IF(D5=C5,"Stayed Same","Got worse")) adjust cell references as needed.

Dan Try the following formula to get the number of CICs that Improved: =SUMPRODUCT(--('Raw Data'!B1:B100="CIC")*('Raw Data'!D1:D100'Raw Data'!C1:C100)) Change the to = and < to get the number of "stayed the same" and "got worse" Change 100 to reflect the size of your data table on sheet 'Raw Data'. "CIC" can be replaced to a reference to a cell where the name of the program is stored. Hope this helps. / Lars-Åke |

Sandy!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. Your formula did it. I have a total of 10 questions, accross 5 programs, so I was able to use your formula to get EXACTLY what I need.

A formula answer that I just can't wrap my brain around!
The only other thing I'd like to do is to limit raw score data entry into
certain cells. (J4:J5000-S4:S5000, and Z4:Z5000-AI4:AI5000) that should allow only certain raw scores. The rating scale we've developed allows for scores of 5, 10 or 15 only. Unfortunately, some of our secretarial staff types fast and makes errors. When checking their data, I often find accidental entries of 0, 4, 16, etc. If there is a way (possibly using vba I suspect) to only allow scores of 5, 10, or 5 to be entered into columns J, S, Z, and AI this would prevent accidental entry of numbers that shouldn't be input. I had this idea of a pop up message alert advising the data entry person that only scores of 5, 10, and 15 can be input. Any suggestions?

If I understand you correctly then Data Validation should do that you want.

Sandy! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. Your formula did it. I have a total of 10 questions, accross 5 programs, so I was able to use your formula to get EXACTLY what I need. I appreciate the time you took to answer my question and provide me with formula help.

I received great help on an early formula, and I'm trying to analyze my data one other way, and can't seem to think of the best way to write out what I need. Here goes an example. Any help would be greatly appreciated: Disch Program Q #1 Q #1 Date at Admit at Disch Column A Column B Column C Column D Sep 1, 08 CIC 5 15 (Improvement) Sep 15, 08 TP 10 10 (Stayed the Same) Sep 21, 08 CIC 10 5 (Got Worse) Sep 22, 08 CIC 5 5 (Stayed the Same) Sep 22, 08 TP 15 10 (Got Worse) What I want to compare a improvement, stayed the same, and got worse within each program. Thus, in the above example, I would look at Improvement, stayed the same or got worse for individuals in our CIC program separately from individuals in TP or OP. What I want to obtain is a raw score value that would tell me: Of the (3) CIC individuals discharged: 1 Improved, 1 stayed the same, and 1 got worse. I'll do this for the individuals in OP and TP separately, but once I get one formula I should be able to figure out the others. HELP, I can't wrap my mind around it. I'm grabbling the data off of one sheet (entitle: 'Raw Data'!), and placing it on another sheet (outcomes). Thus I know I need to reference/qualify the raw data sheet using the above string of formula as I attempt to generate the information on my outcomes sheet. Any suggestions? Hope I provided enough information to solve the formula! Dan |

A formula answer that I just can't wrap my brain around!
works like a charm..............Thanks Sandy. I also got a second idea. I
love options, lol! Dan "Sandy Mann" wrote: If I understand you correctly then Data Validation should do that you want. Hightlight the range that you want then select Data Validation Allow Custom and enter the formula: =OR(C2=5,C2=10,C2=15) then OK Ensure that if you click on the cell to insert the reference Excel does not enter an absolute references. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Dan the Man" wrote in message ... The only other thing I'd like to do is to limit raw score data entry into certain cells. (J4:J5000-S4:S5000, and Z4:Z5000-AI4:AI5000) that should allow only certain raw scores. The rating scale we've developed allows for scores of 5, 10 or 15 only. Unfortunately, some of our secretarial staff types fast and makes errors. When checking their data, I often find accidental entries of 0, 4, 16, etc. If there is a way (possibly using vba I suspect) to only allow scores of 5, 10, or 5 to be entered into columns J, S, Z, and AI this would prevent accidental entry of numbers that shouldn't be input. I had this idea of a pop up message alert advising the data entry person that only scores of 5, 10, and 15 can be input. Any suggestions?
