Excel

when you want to delete a column why does it say shift cells left or right etc?

RE: Excel

Hi Amie,

Thank you for your question.

The reason it is asking you whether you want to shift cells left or up and the option to Delete the entire column, is because you are not selecting the column itself and are selecting the cells with data in that column.

The best way to delete a column is to select the column by clicking on the column letter itself to select the entire column and then go to Edit and Delete.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon


 

Excel tip:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help


3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
