what if when you put in the sum function it comes up as a zero?

Hi,
In our office we update the daily productivity in excel sheets. Each sheet contains that particular day productivity. At month end only we get the total productivity result. Here i want to know the formula or macros to sum the daily of productivity of the particular employee in the last sheet. So daily we know that month productivity instead of knowing it at the end of the month..

Thanks for the tutorial on the conditional sum wizard. I am having a problem with it though. I have a report that is furnished to me that looks much like your example. Everytime I use the wizard it takes me through the steps and it appears fine. However, it always returns a value of 0 even if there is a different value in the column I ask it to sum. When I create my own simple speadsheet to check myself and go through the wizard it works fine. Any idea what could be wrong with the data on the provided report that is causing the 0 value to always come up? Thanks.

I am trying to use the conditional format wizard to sort by metal gauge but I get “-” for values less than 1, i.e. 0.063, 0.051, 0.080 etc. I have set these cells to be viewed as text but still get a zero when there should be a value.

Material | Gauge | Pounds of Material

ALUM | 0.063 | 25

(should return 25, but returns “-”)

Hi there,
Have just come across your site and find the tips very good. Is it possible with Excel conditional formatting to set up a spreadsheet to keep me updated about which invoices are paid on time or overdue.
For example: I do my invoices in Excel and give each invoice it`s own ref. No. I would then like to create a spreadsheet or worksheet that would list all of my invoices and to be able to highlight which ones have been paid, which are overdue etc. without having to search for and look at each individual invoice.

hope you can help,

Tom Johnson

Hi,

May I ask you how would it be possible to have lists of possibilities where the total of sales amount will have an exact amount, please?

I mean that I want for example 1500USD as the total amount of the Sales Amounts and list how is it possible to do. For example: 1. possibility: 1st 4th and 5th row will give a total amount of 1500. 2. possibility: 2nd, 4th and 6th will also give the total amount 1500. I need the list of these possibilites.

Could you help please?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Greg

Hey,

I like your site. I learn a lot of cool things on excel. Can you show how to use advance functions like what if analysis, pivot tables. I need to know more advance functions of excel. It’s hard to find tutorials on those topic categories.

Thanks
