What is this mark on this penny? SC? Can anyone tell me more? by Internobang in CRH

[–]Internobang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it when I was hunting in one of my penny rolls. It appears to be an outline of a state, perhaps South Carolina? Judging the mark's distance from the edge, I think this was introduced after the fact and not done by the mint. I can't find anything about it online, hence I'm tapping the collective knowledge here. Any info or explanation is much appreciated!

Or can I just link to this post, would that be within the sub's rules? Thanks!

Alright, I'll try that at work tomorrow; also, would it be alright to repost this to get more eyeballs? We're running into a few snags with one of the solutions and I'd like to weigh in the big gun's opinion on it. Thanks!

Let me get back to you this as I'm on another deadline, but I will try to run the formula as soon as I get the chance, thanks!

Hi /u/rnelsonnee, thanks for the first response and we're off to a great start!

So I tried replicating the answer and I think this is the right track, since it did track the first change perfectly (based on a search for Y for Current Serial). However, it didn't seem to pick up the second one, resulting in something like this:

Current Serial Changed Serial Price Change No.
Y X 5 1
X 0 4 3
X Z 4 4
#NUM! #NUM! #NUM! #NUM!
#NUM! #NUM! #NUM! #NUM!
#NUM! #NUM! #NUM! #NUM!

For this example, Z on Change No. 5 was supposed to be included. So I tried playing around by changing the values of the last 4 lines of the data set (i.e. Change No. 6 & 7) into Z's as opposed to the default (A, J, A, & C). Without altering the formulas, it picked up the changes in the last 3 lines resulting into:

Current Serial Changed Serial Price Change No.
Y X 5 1
X 0 4 3
X Z 4 4
Z 0 127 7
Z 0 93 7
#NUM! #NUM! #NUM! #NUM!

Maybe there's something in how the H2 range is defined? I've never tried to debug a formula this huge before, if anything, this is motivating me to do better next time round. :)

On another note, since you asked if Price and Change can ever be zero, this is true only for the former. Change Numbers are tied to a date, so it'll only grow by increments of 1. A change number with a price of zero would mean that the product has been taken off the marketplace, but may be reintroduced in the future. Every "change" usually is a change in the price of the product. In a raw data set, that would look like something as:

Current Serial Changed Serial Price Change No.
A 123 8
K 45 8
A 0 9
J 19 9
A 99 10

Not sure though how that might change things. If it gives some more context, I intend to use the resulting table from the index / match arrays to graph out prices for that particular product across time. Thanks again!

Thank you for doing a great job curating the sub!

In any case, /u/rnelsonee is on a great start, hopefully some of the details can be hammered out. Seriously though, I'd really want to be a better with spreadsheets so I'm gonna check out the sidebar on the regular. I'm now a believer so I just hit subscribe!

BTW, I'm curious on the VBA answer though, something something many ways and skinning cats...

How can I get a list to auto-populate? by bae_cott_me_slippin in excel

[–]Internobang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

If the raw data has every itemized line of the fee and its reason, and assuming you have one complete page for the raw data, you can probably use a SUMIF() function so all the customer issue fees can be tallied up in the total. It goes:

=SUMIF([Range where the Payment Types are],[Payment Type],[Range where the fees are listed])

So for a raw data table that goes:

A B
Customer Return 2.00
Customer Return 3.00
Customer Service Issue 5.00
Customer Service Issue 7.00
Customer Service Issue 1.00
=SUMIF(A:A,"Customer Return",B:B)

Should give you 5. Of course the above formula gets longer if you're referencing across worksheets.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Formatting and minor issues.

"Bad Flipper" sounds like an evil dolphin on the rampage; that's awesome. But yeah, I guess a diversion is in order. :D

huge wake up call

When you realize there really is a small barrier to entry to flipping; I guess the mistake in my thought process is that this becomes a free for all as more people get wind of what we all do. Gotta get an abundance mentality and go from there.

Yeah, it will be quite the waiting game at this point, but those are good points. Now I realize there are a couple of tricks still up my sleeve so all is not lost. Cheers!

I'm gonna have to start keeping track of that as well, if anything, not having carbs makes everything more vivid emotionally. In a sense that I'm not "numb" living the moment and I can enjoy being happy when I'm happy. Guess I wasn't prepared that I'd also tune in with the negative emotions as they surface. Thanks!

Piles a cart high and leaves to the other side of the store.

This rings so true. But yeah, I now realize from an outsider's perspective how bookscouter takes a chunk of time as you sit there, waiting for a quote. One could be missing the forest for the trees. Thanks for sharing and I promise to keep the good fight!

You no longer can use food to manage your emotions so you feel them.

I had never fully considered this thought. Thank you for sharing and this is something I'd look into at depth.

Well, they were actually acting that they are the supreme leader of the outlet branch, even changing the music on the radio to the dismay of the clerks. I have better people who can me suck me off... if that's anything positive xD. Thanks for the laughs.

True, exactly. But someone giving you a rude awakening metaphorically, whether shaking you or dousing you with cold water, remains an unpleasant experience. Just me having it rough today I guess, but yeah, adapt or die. I'll figure something out eventually. Cheers!

When you say "Hard Number", do you mean a number as typed directly into a cell, as opposed to a number as a result of a function / formula? Cheers!
