    Question Issue = Problem with Data on Spreadsheet and calculations thereof

    Ok so I'm doing data calculations for Data in GB on a Drive
    This is not my issue that's driving me nuts
    WHAT IS however is trying to calculate
    =IF(E16="","",E16/$F$4)
    a Formula as such BUT from Range A:Range Z whereas you also have Absolute Value $F$4 where you need to have the difference of Range A:Range Z calculated as a result into Cell G4
    How on earth do you do this? I don't care how it's accomplished where if it's Excel Formulae only or with VBA or Access just SOMETHING to Solve this
    HELP!

    This, there's a Cell beside Backup where the result of the difference of Say $L$4-$L$6 would be
    So what I'm asking is how do you get that Cell to report that difference? But the difference is variable based upon the cell in the list so everytime an entry is made it will update that Cell beside Backup with the new total

    Re: Issue = Problem with Data on Spreadsheet and calculations thereof

    Ok let's take for instance Cell B24 which is 70.04 the Max size of the Drive in question is 78.8
    78.8 - 70.04 = 8.76
    I want the 8.76 to be displayed in Cell C1 as a percentage ala %Left
    How
    Do you
    Do this? I am hopelessly confused

    Re: Issue = Problem with Data on Spreadsheet and calculations thereof

    you could do it like this,

    ="%"&TEXT(B24-$B$2,"0.00")

    but that would not be a % it would be a value.. im assuming you want it displayed as a % for another purpose.

    Well it'll be a percentage at any rate but the daunting task I keep slamming my head into is the fact of how to get it to put the value remotely into cell C1

    Re: Issue = Problem with Data on Spreadsheet and calculations thereof

    ok, now i get what you are trying to do.. i was looking to the wrong spot

    try this array formula confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    =INDIRECT("C"&MAX(IF((C3:C16<>"")*(C3:C16<>-1),ROW(C3:C16))))

    you will need to adjust the range C3:C16 to match your range, i cannot open your workbook, so i do not have your ranges

    aeonexcel, in the future, please post your workbooks directly to the forum and not to external file sharing sites.

    Post a WORKBOOK. ... To attach a file, push the button with the paperclip (or scroll down to the Manage Attachments button), browse to the required file, and then push the Upload button.
    If your question has not been answered within a day, consider adding another post with any additional information you believe is relevant. If you think your post is good as is, just reply to your own thread with the words "Bump no response", which will bring it to the top of the forum.
    Do not zip the workbook unless it is over 1 MB (which need never happen).
