If you want to split your screen so you can see multiple areas of a spreadsheet at a time, then why not got give the Split tool ago.
To use the tool, select the cell on your spreadsheet that you want to be the cross-section of the split and then go to the View tab. On the Ribbon click on Split and this will split your screen into quarters. You can then use the multiple scroll bars across the bottom and right hand side to navigate around your data.
If you are working in rows and want to pull information across from data that can be located either on the same sheet, different sheet or even different workbook, then we can use a HLOOKUP formula.
To create a HLOOKUP formula, click in the cell that you want to pull information to and then type =HLOOKUP( . You will then get a syntax that looks like HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup]).
Lookup Value – the value you want it to look up
Table Array – the data range that you want to find the value in
Row Index Num – the row that you want to extract data from
Range Lookup – True/1 = Approximate - if it can’t find the correct lookup value it will pull across the nearest value that’s less than it.
False/0 = Exact – if it can’t find exactly what you’ve asked then it will error
If you want to check if a value is text, then use the ISTEXT function. To apply it, type =ISTEXT( and then reference the cell you want to check. When you hit return you will either get a TRUE or FALSE answer. If you get TRUE returned, it means the cell you have referenced is a text value. If FALSE is returned, then you have a numerical value in the cell you referenced, for example, a number, date or time. A blank cell will also return FALSE.
If you want to restructure your data so the headers are along the top row rather than the left column or vice versa then why not try the transpose paste option.
To do this, select your data that you want transpose and copy it. Next, click on the cell you want the data to be pasted and then right click and choose the Transpose option under Paste Options.
If you want to filter data more broadly, then why not use an Asterisk Wildcard to help. An asterisk represents multiple characters when filtering. In the search bar on your filter dropdown you can place the asterisk in different places to return different outcomes. For example:
*A would return all records that end in A
A* would return all records that start with A
H*A would return all records that start with H and end in A
*A* would return all records that has a A in it
A quick way of finding out which week of the year we are up to is by using the WeekNum function. Once this formula is completed, it will return a number which is based on the week number that you are up to in that current year.
To use the formula, type the function =WeekNum( and then put in a date. Excel will then return the week number that date falls in. If you want it to be dynamic then why not replace the date with the TODAY function.
If you want numbers to always round down, then use the ROUNDDOWN function in excel. The Syntax for this formula is =ROUNDDOWN(num, num digits).
Num – the cell that you want to round
Num digits – the number of decimal places you want to round down to, for example 1 would round down to one decimal place
To move a PivotTable to an existing worksheet, select your PivotTable and go to the Analyse tab. On the Analyse tab click Move PivotTable, this will open the Move PivotTable window. Next, select the Existing Worksheet option and click in the Location box. Once you have selected the location box, select the worksheet and the cell that you want to move your PivotTable too. Finally click OK and this should of moved your table to the specified location.
Instead of having to type out the pound sign repeatedly, Excel has provided a formatting tool that will take care of it for you.
How to apply pound signs
1. Select the values you want to apply pound signs too
2. Go to the Home tab, Number and select the drop down box
3. Select either Currency or Accounting to apply pound signs
If you want to search for a string of text within a larger string of text, then use the SEARCH function. This function will return the character number of where the string of text is located. For example, if you wanted to find N in phone, the SEARCH function would return 4 as N is the fourth character along.
The syntax for this formula is =SEARCH(Find Text, Within Text, [Start Number])
Find Text – The text you want Excel to find
Within Text - the string of text you want to find something in
Start Number – the character that you want Excel to start searching from (optional)
If you want to display Subtotals on your PivotTable then select your PivotTable and go up to the PivotTable Tools tab and select Design. On the Ribbon click on Subtotals and choose where you want the Subtotals to be displayed.
