SalesRep Varchar(6)

neither is a primary key (I'm having problems converting it to a primary

I want to find out how many sales each agent got.


Statement:
SELECT "Agents"."TSR", "Agents"."Agent", COUNT(*) FROM "Agents"

Would this lend itself to a DCOUNT solution (and to answer the obvious 
question, I can't use a database at work).

Here are the worksheet names and the formula I am using.


I haven't been following this thread, so take this with a pinch of 
salt, but I think I can see the problems here.


Your source value in cell C1 of sheet Bonuses may look like 
"09-27-2013" but it is actually a date value formatted to look like 
that.  I can see this from its right alignment (unless you have set 
this cell formatting manually).  Your INDIRECT(ADDRESS... will 
retrieve this value, but not with the date formatting applied.  I'm 
guessing, but I think the most obvious result would be the underlying 
date value (possibly 41544), the numbers of days from the date 
origin.  Now your sheet is actually named "09-27-2013" - as text - and 
there is no sheet named "41544". Hence the error.


You could enter the date in C1 as text.  Type an apostrophe before the 
value and it will be interpreted as text (and left aligned by 
default).  The result of your INDIRECT(ADDRESS... will now be the same 
text string and this will match the sheet name.


But that's not the whole story.  The result of the INDIRECT function 
is a text string representing the sheet name, but you cannot just 
append ".$E$1 ..." to this.  Instead you need to concatenate these 
text strings as

INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1;3;1;;"Bonuses"))&".$E$1 ..."
but then you have another text string and you need to use INDIRECT() 
again to convert it to a reference.  Try:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1;3;1;;"Bonuses"))&".$E$1:$E$2000");A2) 



If you wanted to retain the values in C1 and so on as genuine dates, 
you may be able to convert the date value to the appropriate text 
explicitly using TEXT(...;"MM-DD-") within your formula.  But I 
can't get this to work; I think the problem is that sheet names that 
are numerical or perhaps start with a number need in this context to 
be surrounded by quotes - and it's difficult to see how you could add 
these.


I trust this helps.

Okay, I've put up two screenshots.

the first contains the formula and what is listed in  C1.  The next is 
the names of the individual sheets.

Sorry, that e-mail got sent off too quickly.  I'm trying this

C1 contains the name of the worksheet ("09-27-13") and I'm trying to

it.  However, it keeps giving me an err:501.


Hint 1:
Use the builtin help and search for 501. It will take you to the 
error

codes. 501 means something like ”invalid character”. In this case it

seems
like you use ”,” instead of ”;” as parameter separators. I thought 
that

there was a setting for that somewhere, but now I can't find it, so I
guess
that is a LibreOffice feature, but I'm not sure. I used 
LibreOffice for

a

couple of years but I am back with Apache OpenOffice again, since
LibreOffice was way too unstable for me. It actually destroyed one 
of my
spreadsheets but Apache OpenOffice fixed it for me, that's why I'm 
back…

:D

Anyway, replace those commas with semi-colons and I think it will 
work.


Hint 2:
If you are working with a big formula and it doesn't work, hit 
Ctrl+F2

(select the cell that you are working with first) and you are able to
study
your formula a little better. For instance you can see sub values by
placing the cursor on different places in the formula. That way 
it's a

little easier to find WHERE the error is.

Re: VLOOKUP vs Macros

Thanks for that, I will be sure to try that out when I get back to the
office.  I've heard the Indirect and address method mentioned before, but
didn't have a practical example of how to use it.

Re: VLOOKUP vs Macros

2013-09-28 Thread John Meyer

I sent that a little too soon.

The title refers to the fact that I was looking into another solution.

the sales sheet for each day is broken down with the following information:


Date, EmpID



Currently, what I am doing is separating them by date.  However, I was 
thinking a much less cluttered solution would involve pulling the date 
from the bonus calculation field and then doing either a VLOOKUP with a 
count or Macro.  Where would I start looking if I wanted to do either 
one of those solutions?

Back to searching for the answer.

VLOOKUP vs Macros

2013-09-28 Thread John Meyer
I have a spreadsheet with a number of worksheets.  The first worksheet 
has the bonuses for employees in this format



ID, Sales Agent, Sales For Date, Bonus for Date, Sales for Date(N), 
Bonus For Date (N). . .



The rest of the spreadsheets are each named for the date of sales that 
they contain.  They are in the same format as the column header for 
Sales For Date.



I set up each row like this

ID static, Agent name static, 
=COUNTIF(*staticdateworksheet*!ColumnWithIDFirstRow:ColumnWithIDNthRow,Firstcolumnrowiamin),BonusCalculation



What I'd like to do is change that formula around to resolve the sheet 
name by the first row of the salescount ID (i.e. if It's 9-27-2013 it 
would pull up 9-27-2013, 9-28-2013, etc.).  Is this possible?  It's not 
a pressing issue, I'd just like to see if it could be done.


Thanks.
