Spinner properties: Minimum value. How do I assign negative value.
Hi,
I'm using the Spinner function and would like to assign a negative value. The system menu does not allow me to assign a value below zero. How can I add a negative value. Thanks. |

Supposing the spinner's cell link is: B2
You could put in say, A2: =-B2 and then use A2 (instead of B2) as the reference cell to point to, for formulas elsewhere -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Vix" wrote: Hi, I'm using the Spinner function and would like to assign a negative value.

I did that, but when I click on the cell the next number is positive 1 and
does not go below zero again.

Not sure that I understand you <g, but the suggestion means that *A2* is now
used as the "cell-link" for any downstream formulas to refer to, not B2 (which is the actual spinner's cell link) When you click to advance the spinner, you'll get only negative numbers appearing in *A2* (Don't look at / refer to B2 anymore) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Vix" wrote: I did that, but when I click on the cell the next number is positive 1 and does not go below zero again.

Nope. Still did not work.
Here is what I've done Problem: To evaluate +/- change by spinning 1% up or down. Set A1=1; B1=100 Set A2=(A1/B1)% Assign Spinner to Cell = A1 As soon as I assign spinner to B1 = a negative # (as you suggested)...after the first spin the number goes to zero and only goes up! Hope this helps.

Maybe try something along these lines
Make the spinner settings as: Current value: 10 Min: 0, Max: 20 Cell link: A1 Put in B1: =IF(AND(A1=0,A1<=10),(A1-10)/100,IF(AND(A110,A1<=20),(A1-10))/100) Format B1 as percentage, to zero dp Now try clicking on the spinner's up arrow: B1 will increment in steps of 1%, viz.: 1%, 2% ... 10% Clicking down decrements B1 in steps of 1% and will enable B1 to show (past B1 = 0%): -1%, -2% ... -10% As before, we can now point other formulas to B1 as the spinner output (instead of A1) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "Vix" wrote: Nope.

Put in B1:
=IF(AND(A1=0,A1<=10),(A1-10)/100,IF(AND(A110,A1<=20),(A1-10))/100) Apologies, correction to formula above Think just put in B1: =(A1-10)/100 should do it .. -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- |
