Cell Reference in formula increment
I was wondering how to calculate NETWORLDAYS based on
certain conditions. For my current situation I have 2 checks that see if either an N/A or a ""(blank) should be displayed, if neither of those conditions is true then to fill the second argument of the nested If function I have the NETWORKDAYS function. Ex Formula : =IF('sheet1'! E53="N/A","N/A",IF('sheet1'!E53="","",NETWORKDAYS('sheet1'! D53,'sheet1'!E53,'sheet1'!D53))). What I want is a way to check another column of data to see if I even want to evaluate any of these cases. If I do not want to evaluate any of these cases based on the other columns data I either want there to be absolutely nothing in the cell including the formula or What I would really like is for the formula to increment its references to (sheet1'!E54) (replacing the sheet1'!E53's) for example and check the values if the previous case is thrown out. I would like this to happen in the cell that is going to have the formula. If this is not possible using excel formulas could anyone point me in the right direction to a VBA solution for excel. I'm assuming for the algorithm there has to be an end case like and empty cell that would stop the increment etc.....Thank you for your time. |

Cell Reference in formula increment
Hi
not really sure what you're trying to do. What do you want to evaluate in the other cells. Maybe you can describe your conditions in 'pseudo code'. -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Matt P. wrote: I was wondering how to calculate NETWORLDAYS based on certain conditions.

Cell Reference in formula increment
Lets say that I want to do a NETWORKDAYS calculation for a
person or an item. I want to search a particular column of 'other' data that lets say it is a person, I only want Bob's Workdays figured out. For my purposes there are two date fields that get checked that are next to Bob's name, It is possible that there might be the text "N/A" in the field or the cell can be empty "". That is what my equation already checks. What I have not figured out is how to exclude data from my equation that does not relate to Bob. Excel will automatically put a zero or "" in the cell where the formula is, I would like the formula to either leave absolutely nothing in the cell it is in or I would like a way to check the next row of data for the same information like using a loop until I reach an empty cell(which would indicate the last text entered in that field.) Example: A1=Bob B1="" C1=1/3/04 A2=John B2="N/A" C1=1/3/04 A3=Bob B3=1/1/04 C1=1/3/04 A4=Bob B4=12/22/03 C1=1/3/04 If my memory is serving me correctly my output using the formula stated originally will be something like D1="" D2="N/A" D3=2 D4=11 I would like it if the results for A2=John would just disappear of the results could some how be grabbed from the next row down. Creating D3 and D4's results to move up one cell. Thank you. -----Original Message----- Hi not really sure what you're trying to do. What do you want to evaluate in the other cells.

Hi
o.k. this is NOT possible with formulas but would require VBA -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Matt P. wrote: Lets say that I want to do a NETWORKDAYS calculation for a person or an item.

Cell Reference in formula increment
I figured that, Do you know of any reference
materials/.com's that could help with this code. I'm not to familiar with VBA although I do not think that I will have much trouble with creating an algorithm.
