Sumif / Countif - Not certain - want to extract data from cell
We'll just leave it that ... except when I want to make another point.
Calling him greenteeth is hardly grown-up is it? Does being called a whining baby by some other unenlightened poster warrant that silly level of response? And finally, you make the response that could have been so effectively made against TM's comments originally. No I am out of here. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "T. Valko" wrote in message ... We'll just leave it at that. Well, maybe just one important point: responding with ... a reasoned argument. The last time I tried that with greenteeth all I got for my efforts was to be called a "whinning baby". And another important point, which is what that exchange was all about: greenteeth's suggested correction to my formula will also fail if...... The point being: almost every formula will fail, if..... At what point does dealing with improbable/impossible "if's" become inefficient overkill? I'm outta here! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ... Well, you're entitled to your opinion/interpretation but I completely disagree with it. We'll just leave it at that. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Okay, if you want it spelt out. Teethless mama made a point, which regardless of what the OP had said, was valid. Your response was curt and to my eyes, petulant. TM's response was to explain in greater detail, I think he felt you didn't understand what he was saying. To which you made the same response. And so it went on, throgh numerous iterations, with you responding with the same silly response rather than a reasoned argument. TM then made an unwise statement, but your response was out of line (IMO). And ... I have seen you make the same sort of comment on other postings many times. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "T. Valko" wrote in message ... Yes it is. milked it ???????? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Oh come, that is not a serious question. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "T. Valko" wrote in message ... How so? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Don't you think he milked it? -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "M.A. Clark" wrote in message ... Sorry for all the guff you took on-line over your helping me with this issue, it really did fix the problem and is sincerely appreciated. -Mac "T.

Perhaps this feature is not supported in Excel but here goes.... I have data that represents Sick Time, Holiday Time, etc in single cells on a spreadsheet. For example, to represent a Sick day of 5 hours, a single cell would show S5. What I am attempting to do is 1. Identify which cells in a single column have an S, 2. Once identified, add the value next to S to the sum of all Sick time. To get the count of S I used Countif(B5:B370,"S*") This works. But I have tried all kinds of combinations to Sum the resulting numbers. This is a group common spreadsheet so separating the data to multiple cells is a bit of a fight. Any help would be appreciated. |
