How do I select a data base from colunms separated

RE: Charts

Hi Irina

Thank you for your question.

A database is created from fields (columns) and records (rows) that are adjacent to each other in a spreadsheet. You will find that for a number of functions (e.g. database functions) that you will get an error if you try using a data range that is not continuous/non-adjacent.

You could try creating a separate sheet that combines together all of the data you need into a continous block so that you can then use functions on the information without getting errors. You could do this by creating links between the cells where the data is stored currently, and cells in the new worksheet.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Calculate age or service

The DATEDIF() function in Excel calculates the number of days, months, or years between two dates. So, this function makes it easy to calculate a person's age. To try this tip:

In a blank worksheet, type the birth date in cell A1, using slashes to separate day, month, and year.
In cell A2, type =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y") and press ENTER.
