To make your formula more readable, you could assign a name to cell a0, and then use that name in the formula. The $ sign causes the cell column or row or both in a formula to be fixed. So how can i enforce excel to use the value (displayed) of a cell instead of its formula, to calculate another formula?
How can i declare the following if condition properly? That is, if you drag the formula cell horizontally or vertically in order to copy the formula, excel will not adjust this value. The easiest way to define a name is to highlight the cell or range, then.
I simplified the formula in the example but should work for your case as well. I have formula that checks if the cell starts with text a returns pick up b for collect and c for prepaid. I need help on my excel sheet. But it doesn't seems to be working properly both a and.
And along with that, excel also started to make a substantial upgrade to their formula language. If a1 = n/a then c1 = b1 else if a1 != n/a or has value(int) then c1 = a1*b1 Have you tried using conditional formatting as below? Excel has recently introduced a huge feature called dynamic arrays.
) to make a cell appear blank is a common practise in a worksheet formula but recreating that option when inserting the formula. I was able to create row indexes (numbering) by typing a literal 1 in the first row, then using the formula above, modified with a + 1 in the the rest of the fields directly below.
