Excel Magic Trick #106: Gantt Chart for Daily Schedule

Good morning,

trying to find out what to do with my spreadsheet and the formulas in it.

If you look into the file 369. I can get to the stage where it outlines the mismatch figure. In the example it is 6 Mismatches.

But I cannot seem to get the table belwo right. Everytime I try and copy past the formula, the first set of data is the one from the first line and then I get a #NUM error, due to the fact that there seems to be a number reoccurence somewhere.

I took the youtube tutorial, but even copying that formula did not work.

My table consist of 2 sets of 600 values each.

Can someone tell me why I am getting this error and help me resolve the issue that the result is an existing set of data?

THANK YOU

I am following this tutorial from youtube. It is a search function to search for a specefic word in an entire row. Here is the first part of the code:

Code:

=SEARCH(C$3,Table2[[#This Row],[DESCRIPTION]])

except i only get a value in the cell that i typed this in, instead of it searching the rest of the row like in the tutorial. i can't figure out how to fix this. anyone know what im doing wrong?

Hi,

Wonder if anyone has a solution to a challenge to convert a simple Excel schedule into a gantt chart. Here's a sample of the data. We are flexible with the output, we are just looking to produce a visual of the project plan as shown below.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

Hello,

I am constructing a make-shift database in excel but can't seem to find a way to get magic trick #213 to work.

What I am trying to do is create a dynamic filter via 16 criteria. I would like any results that match all criteria that I specify and then displays results in a separate table to the right.

Thank you so much for your help - I would attach my spreadsheet to this message if I knew how.

BR,

Hello there.
First, and before all, I must admit that I am a kind a "dumb" for Excel, because I always were using it, only for better look's of simple tables, schedule's and similar. Although, I was all the time aware of great power's of this program, but newer tested it.
So, finally after few years of tempting, I decided to make a proper "order-list" for the shop in which I work. What I needed is to ,based on products and their prices, make a drop-down box, with list of the products, and after choosing one , proper price will be shown in next column. I find out how to do it with "Excel magic trick #5" on Youtube.
This is what i achieved:

However,
You see that in row 16, or line 2 in the order box ,we have #N/A below Cena (Price), Iznos PDV (amount of VAT), Cena sa PDV (Amount with VAT), and Iznos (Total amount). If we choose one of the product from drop-down box (now, as You can see none is chosen) and type number in Kolicina(Quantity) column, all this would be automatically changed into proper value.
But what if we have only one thing in order box, instead of 2 or all of 10 ? How to avoid those #N/A, and make instead to be blank cell, which is to be counted as 0, because of final calculation?

In this order-form we have only line 1 and 2 programed to have drop-down box in line Naziv robe (Name of the product). If I putted same drop-down boxes in rest 8 columns, #N/A would be shown in all programed cells bellow, like in line 2...

Kind regards from Serbia

I am trying to duplicate the concept on my spreadsheet. It is conceptually the same, the formula is slightly different.

Mine is as follows:
{=IF(ROWS(A$5:A5)>$B$2,"",
INDEX(US!A$5:A$72,
SMALL(IF(US!$AU$5:$AU$72=Sheet1!$A$2,ROW(US!$AU$5:$AU$72)-ROW(US!$AU$5)+1),ROWS(A$5:A5))))}

Resulting in a #VALUE! error. Can anybody advise me what should the formula me?

Thank a million!

Looking for a little help tweaking Excel Magic Trick 185. I've reached what is probably just a mental block.

I'm trying to adjust a spreadsheet for work using the processes described in Excel MagicTrick 185. (Great series, by the way...) The catch is that the source data table can not be modified under any circumstances (we've already asked).

The problem is different than EMT_185 in that there are 9 columns that can potentially define a match as opposed to just the one shown in EMT_185. There are two user options ('I-III' and 'A-C') which in combination establish the headings for the 9 possible conditions (I-A, II-A, III-A ...) .

(See the linked spreadsheet) I've been able to:
determine if a row in the source matches user provided conditions (col Y),
get the count of matched source rows (row 26),
determine the match instance (col AA), and
place the source data in the output table (col AC)

What I can't quite get my mind around is suppressing the blanks in the output (i.e.:getting match 1 on row 1, match 2 on row 2, etc.)

What am I missing? Please help. A spreadsheet showing what I have so far is located on google docs. Perhaps you could make a new EMT out of it!

BTW.. this used to be done via vba, however that is no longer an option (don't ask... It just isn't, and it's not a topic that is open to discussion -- we tried).

So I used Excel Magic Trick 185 to dynamically pull content from a spreadsheet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bGKhbUYOas

However,
It is only working for a few of my columns though and I am getting reference errors, http://www.mediafire.com/?gje8srbp8x2j48w

Can anyone check into my spreadsheet and help me understand why I get these ref errors? Is it because I have spaces in the column names or within the cells? I know a macro is probably a better way to do this, or an auto-filter, but I need it to dynamically update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or a better way to solve it?

Thanks!

Dear All,

This is my school project and I need to submit it for me to get to next school year.

This is a collection of all information that I found on the internet during my research on how to make schedule
gantt chart style, and still i cannot bring out the output as intended on my project.

Also a module-code is included to display day/date and count days in a month and mark holidays in the calerndar
gantt chart

My main concern is to make the Vacation Calendar Chart to display information according to the computation of
Join Date + Vacation Frequency + Vacation Days Duration = Vacation Calendar Chart

Example:

If Mr. John Doe frequency vacation is every two months, and his joining date is 12/01/2008 the Vacation chart
shows that his vacation will be from 1-Jan-2009 to 18-Jan-2009, but the next vacation which is from
19-Feb-2009 to 8-Mar-2009 is not being shown, how do i show this??? If I reference it to cell G5 and F5
the information being shown is the same as of January. HOW TO DO THIS??? I really really need help on
this one. Please help.

Please download the attached file so you see the clear picture of my problem.
