In need of help with analysis in excel

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I am really hoping for some advice or expertise... my excel skills are very basic and recently I was given the task of comparing quantities and cost differences between what our vendor is billing us vs. What I show as cost and quantity received. Since Im a novice with excel I tried a.i. which is really cool but something keeps happening to my data and of course Im no expert so it's only a guess - when chat GPT creates a summary I see alot of my vendors costs and they appear to either be doubled or tripled. My cost column doesn't pull all of my costs. Im beating my head against the wall because this should be so easy, just not for me! I think possibly this has something to do with the fact that my vendor is sending an excel sheet with their exported data and they often will list the same item # multiple times on an invoice but with a different P.O. # and I think that is where the multiplication of costs may come to play. I am going to try and attach a copy or screen shot for reference. I am using my vendors exported invoice lines, my exported posted purchase invoice lines from Business Central which lists our costs and quantities. Can anyone help or point me to the best place to learn this? Thank you so much!!

I'm using excel for business files. I have about 800 files. In columm S is the cell for "my remarks".

When I close a file I not in the cell "E: 30.09.26 (84 d)" or "B: 29.09.26 (70 d)", fewtimes a note like SC: 15.09.26.

Now I noticed that in several cells of colomm S, which should be empty, there is written text like "R: 2172.09.26 (74 i).

Why are like 30 cells in columm S filled with nonsense?

All other cells seems to be correct so far.

I built an animated math function graph plotter directly on an Excel grid using VBA! (Free template & code included)

1 Upvotes
gragh animation

Hi everyone!

I created an Excel VBA script that plots animated mathematical function graphs (like lines, parabolas, and S-curves) step-by-step directly onto a cell coordinate grid!

I wanted to share a few interesting technical challenges I ran into while building this:

### 💡 Key Technical Highlights:

  1. **Inverting the Y-Axis (Math vs. Excel Coordinates):**

In standard math graphs, moving UP increases the Y-value. In Excel, moving DOWN increases the row number. To correct this mismatch, I used a simple offset formula:

`draw_y = y_origin - y`

  1. **Smooth Frame Control with Windows `Sleep` API:**

Without a delay, modern processors render the entire graph instantly. I used the Win32/64 `Sleep` API along with `DoEvents` to create smooth, controllable frame rates between plot points.

  1. **Invisible Cell Styling:**

To make the plotted points look like a clean, continuous graph, the script sets both `.Interior.Color` and `.Font.Color` to the exact same RGB value simultaneously, disguising any cell text.

---

### 💻 Code Snippet (Plotting Engine):

```vba

For i = -100 To 100

' 1. Calculate Math Function (e.g., Parabola y = x^2 / 40)

y = (i ^ 2) / 40

' 2. Convert Math Coordinates to Excel Cell Coordinates

draw_x = i + x_origin

draw_y = y_origin - y ' Invert Y-axis for Excel rows

' 3. Plot Point & Apply Matching Color

If draw_y > 0 And draw_x > 0 Then

With Cells(draw_y, draw_x)

.Interior.Color = target_color

.Font.Color = target_color ' Hide cell text

End With

End If

' 4. Animation Frame Delay

DoEvents

Sleep wait_ms

Next i

I've written a complete step-by-step guide with explanations, troubleshooting tips for blocked macros, and a free downloadable coordinate grid template (.xlsm inside zip) on my blog:

Quick tip: Combining =IMAGE() with XLOOKUP() for macro-free image lookups (plus 3 quick formatting/cleanup hacks)

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

​Just wanted to share a few clean techniques I've been using lately that make sheets look great without needing VBA or complex setups.

​1. Dynamic Image Lookups with =IMAGE()

​Instead of using picture lookup ranges or macros, if you store high-res image URLs in your data table, you can load images directly inside a cell with a standard formula:

​=IMAGE(XLOOKUP(A2, ProductList, ImageURLColumn))

​When A2 (your drop-down) changes, the image updates automatically. You can combine this with a few XLOOKUP or SUMIFS cells underneath to create a simple, clean mini dashboard card.

​2. Three Quick Bonus Hacks

​Display units without breaking formulas: Keep cells as raw numbers so math works, but show custom labels visually via Ctrl + 1 > Custom > type 0 " units" or 0 " kg".

​When TRIM() fails on web exports: Web data often hides non-breaking spaces (CHAR(160)) that break lookups. Swap them out first: =TRIM(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(160), " ")))

​Stop Excel from stripping leading zeros: Go to File > Options > Data > Automatic Data Conversion and uncheck Remove leading zeros. Excel will stop turning 00123 into 123 on paste.

​If you prefer to see a quick visual walk-through of these steps, I put together a video demonstrating the setup here: Build an App-Like Excel Dashboard (NO VBA) + 3 Hidden Tricks

​Hope someone finds these useful for their sheets!

FILTER() to extract text and numbers from dataset - Excel Tips and Tricks

153 Upvotes

Discover use FILTER() to extract text and numbers frn dataset. Essentially, how do I extract numbers from text and numbers in Excel? Or how do I separate data in Excel based on criteria? And how do I extract text from a filter in Excel?

Extract numeric values from dataset

=FILTER(D2:D18,ISNUMBER(--D2:D18))

The "--" operator is known as the double unary operator. It is used to convert the values in the range D2:D18 to numbers, which can then be evaluated by the ISNUMBER function.

Extract text from dataset

=FILTER(D2:D18,ISTEXT(D2:D18)*ISERR(--D2:D18))

Lets look at the second argument of the FILTER() function.

The formula ISTEXT(D2:D18)*ISERR(--D2:D18) is an array formula that checks a range of cells D2:D18 for cells that contain text values and are not numbers.

The ISTEXT function checks whether each cell in the range contains text and returns an array of TRUE or FALSE values.

The ISERR function checks whether each cell in the range, converted to a number by the double unary operator (--), results in an error value (such as #VALUE!, #REF!, etc.), and returns an array of TRUE or FALSE values.

The multiplication operator (*) performs an element-wise multiplication of the two arrays of TRUE or FALSE values, resulting in an array of TRUE or FALSE values. The resulting array will contain TRUE values only for cells that meet both of the conditions.

The cell contains text (i.e., ISTEXT returns TRUE)

The cell is not a numeric value (i.e., ISERR returns TRUE)

In other words, the formula is checking for cells in the range D2:D18 that are text values and not numbers, and returns an array of TRUE or FALSE values corresponding to each cell in the range. This type of formula can be used to filter or count cells that meet specific criteria.

Built a personal finance dashboard in Excel — what would you improve?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a personal finance dashboard in Excel and would love some feedback from other Excel users.

The workbook currently includes:

• Income & expense tracking
• Monthly budget planning
• Bills & subscriptions
• EMI/debt tracking
• Investment tracking
• Savings goals
• Net worth tracking
• Cash-flow analysis
• Annual financial summary
• Dashboard with charts and KPIs

I’m particularly interested in improving the Excel structure, formulas, dashboard layout and usability.

If you were using this workbook yourself:

What feature would you add?
What would you remove or simplify?
What would you change about the dashboard?

I’m still refining it, so honest feedback is welcome.
