RE: Excel Advanced

Hello Tracy

Thank you for your question.

RE: Excel Advanced

Hi Amanda,
I have an excel expense form that I want to use for company credit
card and personal cash. I have a column that is a Y/N company credit or
Personal cash.
I have at the bottom of the form two totals, CCC and personal cash. I need
the amounts that have Y(CCC) to be placed in the total for CCC and the
N (personal cash) to be placed in the PC row. I need to write a formula that will
Pick up the right columns.

Also I have written a formula to pick up the currencies used but can't seem to
Get the formulas to be fixed to the right cells.

I hope this is helpful to you assisting me

Regards

Tracy

RE: Excel Advanced

Hi Tracy

I think you need to use a Sumif from the sounds of what you have described, if I have understood your explanation then entries with a Y against them are CCC purchases; those with an N are personal cash purchases.

To use Sumif to total CCC purchases, enter =sumif(
Then select the range of cells that contain Y/N and type a comma in
Then enter "Y" followed by a comma
Then select the range of cells with the purchase amounts.

Do the same for PC, but using "N" instead of "Y"

The formula you have for the currencies, what does this formula do?

thanks
Amanda

RE: Excel Advanced

Morning Amanda,
I hope you have a lovely weekend. Thank you for answering my question. i was worried that i would be able to explain but you got it!
With regards to the currency formula, I need to it to calulate to eg Brazilan currency into GBP currency.

Regards

Tracy

RE: Excel Advanced

Hi Tracy

No problem, thank you for explaning your problem so clearly :)

I think you would need to do a multiplication - taking the Brazilian amount and multiplying (*) by the exchange rate to get GBP.

=Brazilian amount*conversion rate

Hope this helps?
Amanda

Excel tip:

Quick Absolute Cell References

When entering cell references in a formula you probably click the cell, or you may type in the cell reference. If you require any of the 4 variations, press the F4 key now before you press Enter to toggle around the relative and absolute entries ($signs).

Note that the F4 key outside of editing a formula is the Repeat key to repeat a previous action.
