Deniall:
Your pay grade and mine, my friend. Something so seemingly simple...
Anyway, I replicated my situation in a "snippet" sheet, link provided.
For some reason the #NUM error I brought up in my last message no longer occurs, don't even...
1. Skip, yes I agree that structured tables and named ranges are very effective tools in data organization. Are you saying that their use may in some way resolve the situation I presented in the preceding message?
2. Deniall, I also am using XL 2010, under Win7 Pro.
3. These 2 formulas you...
Question, if I enter =SUMPRODUCT(ISERROR(A1:A65000) * (B1:B65000="PREVENTIVE")) (or any other start/end cell ranges), I obtain a correct result.
However, if I use =SUMPRODUCT(ISERROR(A:A) * (B:B="PREVENTIVE")) (column ranges), I get the #NUM error.
Any obvious explanation?
Skip/Deniall:
The SUMPRODUCT() variations you presented work well for my purpose. And I agree, its versatility can be adapted for many purposes. I hadn't considered it before.
Thanks again.
...In lieu of making this work, I simply employed an additional logical test column H and used this successfully:
=COUNTIFS($H:$H,"=TRUE",$C:$C,"*PREVENTIVE MAINT*")
I realized I could do this initially, but was seeking a method without using an additional column. What I was originally...
Skip:
I'm sorry I didn't explain my intent that well. I was using the ISERROR() function only as one example of what I was trying to achieve.
While I realize there are other ways to do what the following formula shows, my question is, can I achieve my desired result using a function like...
I realize that. My question is more of a general one though and I used ISERROR() as an example.
Essentially, is there any range parameter I can use - i.e., between the ISERROR(??) parentheses - to make an aggregate function perform?
BTW, the 3 examples I provided in my initial message don't...
Sorry, I should have explained.
Using COUNTIFS(), I'm trying to compare the contents of cells in columns C and G. If there is an error in G cell AND C cell contains PREVENTIVE MAINT, I want the count of those rows meeting that condition.
Thanks.
...am looking for a way to make the ISERROR function work over a range. I have tried the following to no avail:
=COUNTIFS($G:$G,"=ISERROR()",$C:$C,"*PREVENTIVE MAINT*")
=COUNTIFS($G:$G,"=ISERROR(G:G)",$C:$C,"*PREVENTIVE MAINT*")...
Anyone know of a way to group data by number ranges (1-10, 11-20,...)?
I know I can come up with something in a usual spreadsheet, but does the pivot table offer any way like it does with dates, ie., by week?
For example, I need to know an average cost by vendor for 1-10 miles, etc.
Thanks.
Mike/Olaf thanks for further expounding on this subject.
I have never seen much difference between the two myself, but thought I'd put this out for public discussion.
Thanks.
Allan
Olaf, thank you for your excellent explanation. I can't see much difference either, except that you are unable to edit objects contained within a control class, but I don't consider that an advantage.
Allan
Hi.
What would be advantages to using a control class over a container class?
Some purposes or applications for using a control class, rather than a container class please?
Thanks.
Allan
Hello.
I inserted a picture into a document with a wrapping style "behind text". Now I can't seem to select it because it is behind the paragraph text.
How do I bring it to the foreground so I can select it?
Thanks.
