Manipulating ranges in a different file
Hello,
My excel file collects information from another excel file, where I have three columns: start_time, end_time, and another cell that is suppose to contain a name of the person. Within one range (3-250) I need to subtract end_time from start_time and see if it's less than 16 minutes, if so, if the third cell, does not contain the name, I need to count all the occurances and record the number into the cell of the correct file. I cannot quite figure out how to perform subtraction within the range (in this case: column G - column F): =SUMPRODUCT(--(('path[FileA.xls]Tab1'!G3:G250 [...???...] TIME(0,15,59))*(LEN('path[FileA.xls]Tab1'!Q3:Q250)=0))) Thanks a ton for your advice! |

Manipulating ranges in a different file
Hi,
Here is the basic idea =SUMPRODUCT(--((D9:D24-E9:E24)<(16/1440)),--(F9:F24="")) You will need to adjust for the path to the other file, but the end time is in the range D9:d24 the start time in E9:E24, 16/1440 is the fraction that represents 16 minutes, F9:F24 is the cells that may not contain anything. If this helps, please click the Yes button. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Lenchik" wrote: Hello, My excel file collects information from another excel file, where I have three columns: start_time, end_time, and another cell that is suppose to contain a name of the person.
