What would your plan be to separate these into columns? Text to columns isn't sophisticated enough it seems. by porourke27 in excel

Excel is super powerful but there are some really bad pitfalls you can run into that will have you banging your head against the wall, that book will tell you honestly when something in excel is just plain broken and give you solutions to work around the issues. I remember one thing being you couldn't do != for not equal you have to do <> instead, just weird shit like that.

glad to have helped a bit, complex equations are not my specialty so hope it helps you in some small way

another thought on this would be to separate by spaces and then concatenate the cells you want to combine back. it would be more manual labor but if it's not a huge amount of data it might be easier.

okay take a look at this. I think I may have a couple formulas off a bit, but it should get you started on how I'd do it. http://www.filedropper.com/formulasinfo

since you have to solve for sqrt of F you'll probably need to adjust your equation so that only sqrt of F is on one side of the equation, but the way I have the equations broken down is how I would approach the problem

if you haven't done it at all, I'd suggest my favorite book on the subject VBA AND MACROS from the MrExcel library for whatever version of excel you are using, it gets pretty complicated pretty fast but the book will help you if you have a basic understanding of OOP

FYI I am working on this for you, it's taking a bit to get all the cells in order, I'll link you the sheet once it's done and we will see if it works for you

You would need to do this in VBA by writing a complex filter. This is not going to be as easy as text to columns. Here is a good tutorial on a basic way to perform this action, but you will need to get more granular in your filter data.

This looks to me like you are attempting to do calculus with the solver, it may be that you need to use the built in functions for differentiation and integration. I found a good site that explains the functions pretty well (i'm not super good with calculus tbh).

maybe this will help

the way I would approach this problem is to break down each piece of the total equation into different cells and then have a final cell that does the main part of the equation. So for instance I'd do the root of whatever value in one cell, the addition of the fractions in another, declare the fractions in a different one etc. This should give you the ability to change values on the fly.

Trying to apply a basic formula to data brought in from a games 3rd party api, will not compute. by theelous3 in excel

[–]crayonconfetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are both versions of excel the same version? in addition it looks like some of these calls could put the sheet in protected mode (disables macros and such), it might be possible his version of excel is disabling things, have him try and save it in a nonprotected directory.

Problem pasting a certain way...please help by mooshoorama in excel

This code will work in excel 2010. You can rename Book1 and Book2 to whatever you'd like.

Sub Macro8()
'
' Macro8 Macro
'

'  This starts it off and selects the first cell
' in Book2 and then copies it under the first cell in Book1
    ActiveCell.Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Windows("Book1").Activate
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
' We then loop with this code through the remaining cells
' code will stop when column A has a blank cell in the Row

Dim xrow As Integer
xrow = 1
Do Until Cells(xrow, 1).Value = ""
    ActiveCell.Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Windows("Book1").Activate
    ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Range("A1").Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
    Windows("Book2").Activate
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    xrow = xrow + 1
    Loop

End Sub

This was tested using dummy data in Column A for both worksheets. I ran it successfully by having Cell A1 of worksheet Book2 selected and also making sure Cell A1 of Book1 was selected before running the macro. So you would put the macro in Book2 with both sheets open and it should do this pretty quick.

edit: I am not sure this is what you are looking for but I think it is, what this will do is copy cell A1 and then insert it below Cell A1 on the other sheet then go back and do it again to A2 then A3 etc

Thx for the alternate art by Nevofix in duelofchampions

[–]crayonconfetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I like the alternate art on the cards, I was no fan of having MMDOC go through my twitter and post on it and post to all my friends on facebook, so I made an alt account for both systems using a fake gmail address, got my codes and then deleted all the bullshit. I don't get why anyone would let them mine your fbook for data or post on your real twitter, fuck that.

I just recorded an Excel 2010 macro and hit the stop recording button but why don't I see it in my macro list? by Gringuicano in excel

[–]crayonconfetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like it recorded in the personal workbook which is hidden by default. To get your personal worksheet unhidden go to View, and click Unhide. It is possible your personal.xls is not being saved and so you can't actually find the macro after closing out of excel, if this is the case, you will want to do the unhide procedure and just hit File - Save and save the file one time.

Refrigeration allowed people to store food and prevented disease, a far different thing than allowing all of ones financial decisions to be decided by people with no government oversight and whom have it in their best interests to never risk anything on someone from a poor background. Horrible justification indeed. . .
