Always save a copy of your original data in a new tab or worksheet. That way, if something goes wrong with your data manipulation, you still have your original data.

Comment on Rank Formula in Excel by Critter

I am trying to rank who has had the most opportunities to work overtime, have it available to the rest of the team so they can quickly and easily see who would be the next available person to who judging by who has worked the least amount. Meaning the person with the highest would be ranked number one and if there were not any ties (of which this is not a concern) all the way to 60 because there are presently 60 members on the team. Is this possible?

OK I got action.
There must of been some kind of “lock” on the spreedsheet,
When I opened Excel this morning, I tryed it on a blank sheet and it worked, so then I went back to my other file I could not get it to work.

And then copy & paste information to a new file and saved it under the old file name , that is one cool way to fix the problem,

It would great to know how I could of “unlocked” the speedsheet.

Hi Claire, check out this page (http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions04.html)… there is a note at the bottom of the counta section that might apply to you. Hopefully that helps. If that is the case, maybe a countif formula would work better for you.

I am using counta to count cells that have text in but it is counting the blank cells as well.

I have data in 5 of the 34 cells and the rest are blank so my sum is
=counta(b2:al2) but the answer is 34.
What am I doing wrong.

Thanks
Claire

I am using Excel for Windows 95. I have written or entered data on a work sheet or spread sheet that I will keep and update every month. I have used 4 pages to enter my data on, numbered 1,2,3 & 4. But also with these pages there is 4 more plank pages with only cells on them. They are numbered 5,6,7 & 8. I do not want these last 4 pages. How do I delete or drop these last 5 through 8 pages without disturbing or changing my first 4 pages.

Thank you — Mike
