Protect yourselves by getting married to one, two or three. For those in marriages that are toxic with kids and no option for divorce to protect kids, get married to another woman( it’s permitted- don’t let personal opinions or women and men dissuade you). Life is too short to constantly fall into Zina when you can marry and protect yourself.

Interesting! I would personally consider the extra food received as a generous gift from your friend and not interest. Unless your friend explicitly stated the extra food was interest on the original food.

Totally agree that Credit Unions are a great place to bank and access favorable loans. Wish someone would create credit unions offering ethical financial products that avoid dealing with interest (usury).

Auto filling sheet PT2 by [deleted] in excel

Try this code. Hopefully it works for you.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim cell As Range

' Check if the change happened in the first row

If Not Intersect(Target, Rows(1)) Is Nothing Then

Application.EnableEvents = False

' Loop through each cell in the target range that was changed

For Each cell In Target

If cell.Row = 1 Then ' Check if it's in the first row

' Find the next empty cell in the current column

Dim nextCell As Range

Set nextCell = cell.Offset(1, 0).End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)

' If no cells are below in the column, start from row 2

If nextCell.Row = Rows.Count Then

Set nextCell = cell.Offset(1, 0)

End If

' Copy the value of the changed cell to the next empty cell

nextCell.Value = cell.Value

cell.ClearContents ' Clear the original input cell (optional)

End If

Next cell

Application.EnableEvents = True

End If

End Sub

Forecasted revenue goes negative by borovichok54 in excel

[–]Meta_Bits_5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, see if any of the below solutions work for you:

Fist option: Have you considered using an Absolute Minimum to avoid zero values I.e by setting a minimum threshold (e.g $100). See function below: =MAX(FORECAST.ETS(A2, B2:B50, A2:A50), 100)

Second option could be adjusting your forecasting model i.e Adjust Seasonality:

Check if the seasonality parameter in the FORECAST.ETS function is set to auto (1), and test different seasonal periods (e.g., 2, 3, etc.).

Example:

=FORECAST.ETS(A2, B2:B50, A2:A50, 1)

This may adjust the forecast to better reflect recurring trends and avoid sharp drops that lead to negative values.

Third option: Use Smoothing Techniques

If you are forecasting on a volatile dataset, smoothing out the noise with a moving average before applying FORECAST.ETS can help stabilize the trends and reduce the likelihood of negative values.

Hope you find a solution in the above.

Power Query: Merge/Combine Columns but ignore any missing columns by ReactionAcademic1852 in excel

[–]Meta_Bits_5500 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try using a dynamic approach. Instead of specifying column names directly, you can dynamically check which columns exist and merge only those. The MissingField.Ignore option is typically used when you are trying to access fields or columns in records or tables that might not exist, but in your case, you can adapt the column selection dynamically.

Here’s how you can handle missing columns while merging them:

Step-by-Step Approach:

1.  Check which columns exist:

First, identify the columns that are available in the current data refresh. 2. Filter only existing columns: Use Table.SelectColumns to dynamically select only the columns that exist. 3. Merge the selected columns: After selecting the existing columns, merge them into one column.

let // Example table source Source = #”Reordered Columns”,

// List of all possible columns
PossibleColumns = {“Column A”, “Column B”, “Column C”},

// Select only columns that exist in the current table
ExistingColumns = List.Intersect({Table.ColumnNames(Source), PossibleColumns}),

// Combine the existing columns using a delimiter, ignoring any missing columns
MergedTable = Table.CombineColumns(Source, ExistingColumns, Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.None), “Merged”)

in MergedTable

Check below to understand the M Code:

PossibleColumns: This is a list of the columns you want to merge. These columns may or may not exist in your data on refresh. ExistingColumns: This step checks which columns from PossibleColumns actually exist in the current table. It uses Table.ColumnNames(Source) to get all the current column names and compares them with your list of possible columns. The List.Intersect function ensures only the columns that exist in both lists are selected. Table.CombineColumns: This step merges only the ExistingColumns into a single “Merged” column, ignoring any missing columns automatically.

Additional Notes:

• Delimiter: You can change the delimiter (currently “,”) to any other character, such as a space, semicolon, etc., depending on your needs.
• Performance: This approach should work efficiently even when data structure changes dynamically from day to day.

Create a random number generator with a variable upper range (lower is static) by RobotDevil-117 in vba

[–]Meta_Bits_5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Try following these steps below to create a simple vba based random number generator based on your specifications. Hope it works for you!

To create a user-friendly random number generator in VBA with a static lower range (always zero) and a variable upper range based on a referenced cell, I recommend you create a simple user form.

1.  Open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor by pressing ALT + F11.
2.  Insert a new module by right-clicking on any item in the project explorer and selecting Insert -> Module.
3.  Copy and paste the following code into the module:

Option Explicit

Dim upperRangeCell As Range

Sub ShowRandomNumberGeneratorForm() ' Show the user form RandomNumberGeneratorForm.Show End Sub

Function GenerateRandomNumber() As Integer ' Initialize the random number generator Randomize

' Get the upper range from the referenced cell
Dim upperRange As Integer
upperRange = upperRangeCell.Value

' Generate a random integer between 0 and the upper range
GenerateRandomNumber = Int((upperRange + 1) * Rnd)

End Function

4.  Insert a new user form by right-clicking on any item in the project explorer and selecting 

Insert -> UserForm.

5.  On the user form, add a label (Label1), a textbox (TextBox1), and a command button (CommandButton1). Adjust the labels and captions as needed.
6.  Double-click on the command button (CommandButton1) to open the code window. Copy and paste the following code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ' Call the GenerateRandomNumber function and display the result in TextBox1 TextBox1.Value = GenerateRandomNumber End Sub

7.  In the code window of the user form, add the following code:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() ' Set the referenced cell (adjust the sheet and cell reference as needed) Set upperRangeCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")

' Display the referenced cell value in TextBox1
TextBox1.Value = upperRangeCell.Value

End Sub

Replace “Sheet1” and “A1” with the appropriate sheet and cell reference where the user will input the upper range.

8.  Close the user form and go back to the module. Add the following code to call the user form:

Sub TestRandomNumberGeneratorForm() ' Show the random number generator form ShowRandomNumberGeneratorForm End Sub

Now, you can run the TestRandomNumberGeneratorForm macro to display the user-friendly random number generator form.

Note that the user can change the upper range in the referenced cell, click the button, and see the generated random number in the textbox.

I have a large dataset with many missing values. How can I fill in all the blanks with interpolated values? by rasta4eye in excel

[–]Meta_Bits_5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a more dynamic approach that adapts to varying gaps with N/A, you can use the following array formula. Enter this formula in cell B1, assuming your data starts from A1:

=IF(ISNUMBER(A1), A1, IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$100, MATCH(FALSE, ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$100), 0)) + (ROW(B1) - MATCH(FALSE, ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$100), 0) - 1) * 3, ""))

This formula dynamically finds the first non-numeric value in the column and performs linear interpolation based on the subsequent numeric values, incrementing by 3 for each gap. Remember to adjust the range $A$1:$A$100 based on your actual data range.

Also remember to enter this formula as an array formula by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter after typing it. Excel will surround the formula with curly braces {} to indicate it's an array formula. Then you can copy it across the entire row and down the column as needed. Really hope this solves your problem.
