    Data Validation Using the Offset Command

    I'm not able to get Count to work probably because the range contains text (people's names)?

    Data Validation Using the Offset Command

    Unfortunately, I'm at work and they do not allow us access to any of the upload sites. The only thing that I can tell is that I have 4 or 5 such Named Ranges and by the time I get done setting up one, the others have changed. Do I need $ signs in my formula somewhere?

    Data Validation Using the Offset Command

    Hello, I am using an Offset command in the "Refers To" line of the Name Manager in order to create a dynamic Named Range, e.g. =OFFSET('Dropdown info'!W$2,0,0,COUNTA('Dropdown info'!W:W)-1,1). However, I originally input the formula as =OFFSET('Dropdown info'!M$2,0,0,COUNTA('Dropdown...

    Find Max Count

    Find Max Count

    Thanks Montrey. Going to have to experiment some more with array formulas to get a better feel for them. I think I now have a pretty good grasp of Offset but not so much with the array formulas. Having been able to implement Luke M's formulas successfully, I did not think it would be difficult...

    Find Max Count

    Luke-that was exactly what I needed...worked perfectly! Thank you so much! I'm not overly familiar with the Offset command but was able to apply it to the Store Number column in conjunction with a named range. Also, I've never used an array formual before and the Ctrl Shift Enter requirement...

    Find Max Count

    First of all, thank you Hui for that formula. Have never seen that one before so I'll keep that in my back pocket for later! However, I neglected to mention that my store numbers are in a text format because sometimes the store numbers have leading zeroes. Also, I went ahead and tried to upload...

    Find Max Count

    I could post the spreadsheet but there's really not that much to it in terms of the data that I am interested in which is just the first column which looks something like: STORE NUMBER 473 428 452 473 481 428 452 473 481 473 428 In this small scale example, 473 occurs 4 times which...

    Find Max Count

    Hello, I have a report that has a column with store numbers in it. I need to come up with a formula that will search through the column and return the store that occurs the greatest number of times within that column. A caveat is that I would like to be able to use it on other spreadsheets...

    Controlling User Input

    Narayank991 - Unfortunately, I do not know VBA but want to start learning! SirJB7 - I couldn't agree with you more but wouldn't you know it...it's upper management that is utilizing this spreadsheet and therefore they are who I'm having trouble with! Thanks again for all of the help!

    Controlling User Input

    I have a spreadsheet that requires periodic updating from approximately 10 different users. I'm trying to constrain and control their input because I'm finding that they are not following my directions, are adding rows and columns, inputting in the wrong columns among all the usual ways that...
