How to make a Let statement in Excel?
I have a list of dates in a column, that is sorted by name and then date.
The dates vary, but in assending order for each person. I have also filtered the data by determining which dates would be sequential, using a break of two days - ie-weekend, as sequential periods. I realize that for two dates, one a monday and one a wednesday or thursday, this would assue a sequential period, but I will then subtotal on a count to determine how many days are in the sequential period to see if it is in agreement. I am trying to write a formula using a LET statement similar to =if(F3=1,Return the value for Duration and then Let Duration=0,Duration+1), Where Duration is a named range that I am trying to work as a counter to determine duration and then rest to zero for each new name in a range. I used to use Let statements, but that may have been in my Lotus 123 days or maybe Cobol. |

Thanks Fred. Now to remember my Macro coding. New job, much more data
analysis than last one! "Fred Smith" wrote: Excel is not Cobol. One cell's formula cannot modify another cell. Your choices are to use a macro, which will handle the kind of code you are talking about, or create formula in the Duration cell which will do what you want. -- Regards, Fred "Blain M" <Blain wrote in message ...
