    Thoughts on Excel for HR Vacation Time Tracking

    Skip, I'm sure you could design a very sophisticated system to handle the information in question, but in kjv's real world situation, it seems that a K.I.S.S. approach might be more advantageous, at least for the time being. If the person working with the system either cannot understand how to...

    Thoughts on Excel for HR Vacation Time Tracking

    kjv, When I saw that post you referenced, it reminded me of the vacation accrual sheet I had already designed several years back. If you decided on that type layout, I figured it would give you a good starting point to try out some sample data rather than having to start completely from scratch.

    Thoughts on Excel for HR Vacation Time Tracking

    I also have a version of a vacation accrual for your perusal. It is set up for a $$ basis of vacation cost, but could be altered to use time in hours instead. additional columns can be added for department breakdown, etc. Maybe, if you get enough input, the correct answer will make itself...

    Excel 2010 Simple Profit Formula - Please Read

    zelgar, your formula does not consider the occasional sale at less than cost (a loss). WillieMaykit's formula, and my suggested formula, both allow for such a possibility. Why is everyone trying to make this so difficult??? I'm curious as to why we haven't heard anything from ladyck3 if any of...

    Excel 2010 Simple Profit Formula - Please Read

    combo, while it should be obvious with a blank cell in the Profit/Loss column that the item has not yet been sold, you would be able to show that in the Profit/Loss column without adding another column by amending the formula to =if(I19>0,I19-E19,"not sold"). This would not affect the summation...

    Excel 2010 Simple Profit Formula - Please Read

    mintjulep, there IS a need for a conditional test... to test whether or not the item has as yet been sold. An alternate to WillieMaykit's formula (which looks fine) would be =if(I19>0,I19-E19,""). The profit/loss column will show only results for items that are already sold, and can be summed...

    Conditional Formatting

    Skip, I responded before I saw your last correction. NOW it works as I needed. Thanks for your help on this. I want to give you a star, but I don't see where to do so... has that been eliminated?[thumbsup2]

    Conditional Formatting

    Hi again Skip, This formula works if the only word in the description is "TOTAL", but not where there are ADDITIONAL words in the description. I need a "contains" function within the formula to make the formula work. Thanks for your help. Ken

    Conditional Formatting

    Hi Skip, I believe I need to write a formula within the Conditional Format rule that identifies the description cell and then applies the correct format to a different cell next to it. I don't know the correct syntax for writing that formula, but in pseudo syntax, I believe it should be...

    Conditional Formatting

    I am using Excel 2007 and I want to use conditional formatting to make a number in various cells in column M bold where a text description next to it in column L has the word "TOTAL" within the line of text. I am able to make the text in column L bold for descriptions that contain the word...

    Relating Data in a MAil Merge

    Since your information is already in Access, why not bypass Word altogether and build an Access report in letter format that will allow you to insert your fields as needed. The multiple tracts issue would be easily handled within the Detail section of the report, and the Header section would...

    Dcount with Different criteria

    Couldn't you put your control for the summation in the detail, then sum the control in a group footer grouped on "div", and set the detail as not visible or "cancel print"? That way only your group totals would print.
