What is the best place to learn Advanced Excel (Macros / VB scripting) in Chennai, India?

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

First of all, thanks for volunteering to help me. I have not been in India for the past 8 years so slightly out of touch as to who’s who in Computer Education in Chennai, India. Story is, I am an "advanced user" of Excel but not in a true sense. I am ok with Pivots, basic formulae, goal seeking & the like. I need to take it to the next level now. VB scripting and being able to create Macros. I have only 3 months in Chennai, possibly 6. Within this time does anybody know where I can find some tuition for this? I am willing to consider private tutors too who can do a one-on-one. So all serious suggestions are welcome whether it be a private large institution such as NIIT or your own friend who is really good with advanced excel and offers private tuition. Many thanks.

One must first know the basic principles of quantitative and geometric applications, then they can build on that. It depends on the type of analysis one can commit to learning mathematics whether one can excel in advanced mathematics.

How do I use an advanced filter in in Excel?

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

I have a program roster that contains such things as student id numbers, names, address, etc. This also has a column for team number (1182, 1183, 1184, or 1185). I to create four different sheets, each which only lists the members of each team, and contains only student id, name, and cellphone number. How do I do this?

Since you need to put them on separate sheets, the advanced filer is probably not your best option. That only allows you to move things around on the same sheet.

Pivot tables is an option for you. You can create a pivot table on one sheet that pulls from your main sheet.

Or you can use formulas such as VLOOKUP to create a list based on the team #. Use it like this:

=VLOOKUP(team_no, Sheet1!A1:C50, 2, 0)

The range A1:C50 sets up a 3 column array, and the 2 means it will pull the value from the 2nd column of that array, in the cell next to the where it finds the team number.

If there are multiple names and other data per team #, you will need either a helper column or make each team # unique (if there are 3 people on team 1182, make it 1182-1, 1182-2, 112-3, or something like that)

There are other ways to check for duplicates and get the next occurrence, but that’s getting more in depth than we need to right now.

If you need more help with this, send me a message and I’ll see what I can do.

Can someone with advanced excel skills help me?

I want to create an excel budget worksheet. The problem is that I have two accounts and in both accounts I trade in 2 currencies. So what I want to do is to have a summary table where the worksheet displays the total balance of each currency on each account. So basically the table would look like this:
Account……..Currency 1…Currency 2
1…………………..100………2000
2…………………..300………3000

I want this summary table to be filled with information from a single transactions table where each transaction will have a column where the currency and the account are specified. So what I was wondering was is if it is possible to use some sort of auto-sum formula that selects only some data cells from the range it has to auto-sum. So for example, if the formula worked in the cell with a value of 100 (on account 1 and currency 1 in the example table) and if the transactions table has 15 transaction but only 5 are classified as belonging to currency 1 and account 1, then the formula would only add the values of those 5 transactions. Is this possible? If it is how can it be achieved?

On first thought I wanted to use the IF formula but i don’t know how to type it properly.
I know this can be fixed by using several transaction tables, one for each curreny on each account, but that would mean 4 separate tables and if I eventually open more accounts this number would grow so I don’t feel it is practical.

I will really appreciate this answer and whoever finds the solution will certainly get a best answer and positive comments on this and possibly other questions.

I would also appreciate suggestions on where I can find this information.
I think it is also important to clarify that I am not looking to have the same value converted to two currencies. Each account has different cash flows in each currency. For example I can have 1000 units of the first currency and only 50 units of the other currency which have a lesser value in the first currency.So I am not only looking for conversion formulas, I need to find a way to exclude information from an auto sum operation that only sums the values of a specific column in a row that has a specific currency and a specific account name.
The second table looks like this:

Value…Currency….Account
……10………..1……………1
……30………..2……………1
……20………..2……………2
……10………..1……………2
……20………..1……………1
So if I wanted to know how many units of currency 1 I have in account 1 the formula would return a value of 30, meaning it only added the transaction value for the first and last row because

A1 is date, B1 is Acct No, C1 is Credit, D1 is Debit, E1 is Curr 1, F1 is Curr 2
Enter amounts in currency 1 units only in cols C&D and apply a conversion factor for col F totals
E2 =IF($B2="","", (SUMIF($B$2:$B2,$B2,$C$2:$C2)- SUMIF($B$2:$B2,$B2,$D$2:$D$2)))
F2 =IF($B2="","", (SUMIF($B$2:$B2,$B2,$C$2:$C2)- SUMIF($B$2:$B2,$B2,$D$2:$D$2))*5)
You might like to conditionally format each account transactions in a different colour row.
