Weird Printing in Excel
Hello knowledgable peeps! I have an excel spreadsheet - been using for years - its 6 sheets printed double sided from within a larger sheet so I know how to do all the page margin stuff, scaling etc - however looking at this document in page break preview, it shows the 6 highlighted pages with breaks correctly and says which each page number will be they are but page two is printing the first few rows on page two then the rest of the sheet on page three. Print preview says its only printing 6 pages yet it keeps printing seven. I have checked that errors are NOT set to print as blank but cant see any reason why the results are contradicting what the preview says will happen. Many TIA :)FlummoxedAug 26, 2025Occasional Reader14Views0likes1CommentSUMPRODUCT ERROR
I am trying to count the number of entries that meet a given criterion across 141 worksheets. I first use =@INDEX(SheetNames,G3) to retrieve each sheet name where SheetNames is the range of sheet names and G3 is the cell reference for the sheet number. I then use =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$5:$H$145&"'!d34:d35"),A2)) where $H$5:$H$145 is the range of worksheet names created by the command above. cells d34 and d35 contain the information used to select the information to count, if it meets the criterion in column a. I followed the instructions for an earlier version of Excel and this combination worked. Now the SUMPRODUCT equation returns #REF. What has happened and how do I fix it. Or where do I find the instructions for making it work now. (BTW, this is the worksheet that counts the number of inurnments for a given year across 141 worksheets that have information about partners that have reserved a columbarium niche. The year of interest is given in Column A (such as A2) with the formula in B2.) Thanks for any help.JillMAug 25, 2025Occasional Reader46Views0likes11CommentsHow to convert dates in excel to common format.
Good day. Please support - I have 2 dates generated from SAP and which come in different formats (columns E & G). I have already tried all possibilities to change it via built-in excel settings, but no positive result. Please advise if there are any options to adjust dates format to common. Note* date in column G to be read as January 2, not Feb. 1.Alex70Aug 25, 2025Copper Contributor29Views0likes2CommentsConsolidate/Merge Data in Multiple Files
I have two spreadsheets - both are lists of items with a tag number, serial number, item description, and comments (among other categories). On one of the spreadsheets, the comments column is completed but it is empty in the other spreadsheet. How can I add the comments from the spreadsheet that has them to the one that doesn't, based on what the tag number of each item is? Both spreadsheets are in a different order and some of the inventory items we have on one list do not match the other list, either because they are new inventory items or they were removed from inventory.Kim-KayAug 25, 2025Copper Contributor23Views0likes4CommentsWeekly meal planner and grocery Help

I have a dynamic calendar set up and a table with data, I need help figuring out the right formula to use to have the calendar populate with the tasks from the table. For example, one task may be 'Post video' which I would want to show up on the due date. Another task may be, newsletter campaign which I would want to post for the length of time from start date through due date, and show on each date in between. The second layer of this project is to then color code the calendar based on the column 'Post type'. For example, all newsletters in a blue cell, all videos in a green cell, etc. I've attached a sample workbook, can someone help me set it up with this functionality or explain how I should build that forumla?SolvedMthammonAug 25, 2025Copper Contributor66KViews1like71CommentsHelp With Excel Line Graph "Switches"
I apologize if this query has already been raised before. I have been tasked with creating a graph that compares data across multiple years. With how cluttered the graph is becoming, I was curious if it was possible to show/hide certain data ranges through formulas. I am aware I can do so through the graph settings, selecting which data series to hide and such, however it is likely I will be switching comparison between different years on the fly, and was wondering if I could set a simple command that will allow to show/hide each year's data ranges as necessary? Or will I just need to suck it up and interfere with the graph settings every time?18Views0likes1CommentConcat and Concatenate problem

I ahve done this before but the function does not seem to be working. Can someone help?
