Start by describing the problem you want to solve with the formula. Provide as much detail as possible about the data you are working with, the calculations you need to perform, and any specific requirements or constraints.

Give the AI model relevant context about the data you are working with. This includes information about the structure of your data, any formulas you have already used, and any other relevant information that will help the model generate a more accurate formula.

Is there a way to see who the owner of the is? I'm have multiple sheets with data that is used for various metrics. I am currently looking at revamping those sheets but I have several columns that show:

However, in order to create the formula looking at your sheet, the person who created the formula would need to be shared to this sheet as well. I would suggest reaching out to all the users shared to this current sheet to notify them of your changes, and perhaps request that they share this unknown sheet to you as well.

The error message I receive when selecting one of the cell references in one of our Main Data Sheets with many cell-references, is below. It lists 3 scenarios where these may occur. In my instance, I created our system, and am the owner of all components, so I'm certain there's no other sheets speaking witht his sheet that I don't have access to.

I have too many references on our main sheet, and I believe they came from the development process, the evolution of sheets, with deleting / changing. I'm assuming most, or all of mine are the deleted sheets, but due to not being able to be certain, I let them remain. I'm also concerned about performance and would like some more in-depth conversation about this, and some suggestions. Thank you!

In regards to performance, outbound links are impactful than the number of inbound formulas and links. If you're concerned about this, I would recommend booking a Pro Desk session through the Support Portal since your account has access to this. You can share your sheet over screen share and they'll help identify areas of complexity that may impact performance.

I saw some posts that say you can use the formula tool to parse the Sheet name from the Fullpath column coming out of the input tool but I haven't been able to find the formula. Can someone please tell me what formula to use? Thanks.

your input tool has an option to bring in the filename. That option has a choice between filename and fullpath. It will become it's own separate field in your workflow and you can parse it as you wish.

Right. I brought in the fullpath and I need to parse the sheet name out of the fullpath. That is the part that I do not know. I read in another post that someone suggested the TRIMLEFT formula but I have no idea how to use that formula to trim off just the last part of the fullpath to obtain the Excel sheet name.

Some of my personal favorites are, Co-variance, Correlation, Standard Deviation, Effective to Nominal and vice versa conversion, depreciation calcuations, Amortization tables (mortgages, leases), store and recall functions etc.

In seriousness, try to actually understand the mathematical functions and learn to break it down into words and why they calculate what the formula is solving. It makes a big difference if you can reason and manipulate your way into mathematical equivalency. I have poor memory and elementary mathematical ability and understanding the formula in words really saved my bacon a few times on exam day.

I am making an executive report on one page which pulls all the findings from each individual sheet into one sheet. I have 35 different tables which each reference one sheet (which I have 35 of). Each table references the same cells but in a different sheet. I want to be able to create a formula that's dynamic with the sheet name so I can copy over my formulas from one table to another without having to manually change the sheet reference on each one. So for example - currently I have a formula that's ='Sheet1'!GL8. I want the name of Sheet 1 to change based off what the title of the table is called. So for instance, if table 2 is called Sheet 2 so it would change to ='Sheet2'!GL8 - I can easily copy over the same formulas to table 2 and it will pull from Sheet 2 using the name of the table.

You can then copy this formula across your tables, and it will automatically adjust to pull data from the corresponding sheets based on the table titles. Just make sure the titles in cell A1 of each table sheet match the actual sheet names. The text was created with the help of AI.

@NikolinoDE Thank you! The one concern I have with this method is that I have 35 tables (and counting more may be added) and there are about 15 times I will reference indirect in one table. And I heard that having too many indirects in a file can bog down the load time. Do you have experience with this/know at what point the file may have too many indirects?

You are correct that excessive use of the INDIRECT function, especially in large quantities across multiple formulas, can potentially slow down the performance of your Excel workbook. The INDIRECT function is known for its volatility, which means it recalculates every time any change is made in the workbook, even if the change does not affect the referenced cells directly. This can lead to increased calculation times and slower workbook performance, particularly in large and complex workbooks.

In your case, if you have 35 tables and each table contains multiple INDIRECT formulas referencing different cells on different sheets, it could potentially impact the performance, especially if your workbook is already large or contains a lot of other formulas and data.

To mitigate this, you may consider alternative approaches such as using named ranges or structured references instead of relying heavily on INDIRECT. Named ranges can provide a more efficient and structured way to reference cells and ranges across multiple sheets without the volatility of INDIRECT. Additionally, restructuring your workbook to minimize the number of cross-sheet references and optimizing your formulas for efficiency can help improve performance.

If you find that your workbook's performance is significantly affected by the use of INDIRECT or other volatile functions, you may need to consider redesigning your formulas or workbook structure to minimize their usage and optimize performance.

Within Classic Quizzes there is an option to create a Text (no question) question. There are no points associated with it and students don't answer anything. But you have the Rich Content Editor which you can use to add instructions including images and videos. I'd suggest using this as a place to insert your formula sheet.

Another option is to just insert it in the quiz directions. If you have your quiz set up to deliver one question at at time this especially would be the best place since the instructions will be visible at the top of each page.

My first thought was to copy the formulas as they are shown in excel into the appropriate fields in Zapier, so that when a new row of data was created, the formulas would also be created. The problem is that the cell references do not update to the new row reference. It stays on row 2, instead of advancing to the new row.

I have actually just discovered a new tip that I believe will work for you. Was just getting ready to post in in the Tips and Tricks section when I stumbled on your question. I believe this will help you greatly!

Immediately after this step, add another step to Update a Row. Use the custom tab to insert the row that was created in the previous step for the row to be updated then when you type in your formulas you can insert that same row Id where you would usually reference it in your formula. Voila! I hope that helps!

Update on the above process. It worked as described. Thanks again, GetWired. The second step of the problem was with the formulas not accepting the data. I was able to use the Formatter Action to modify the data into something that was acceptable to the formula.

The catch is that I cannot get rid of this dialog. If I press Yes, I get the same dialog with a different field. I have no idea how many fields there are in this sheet, but these dialogs just keep popping up...

This error generally arises when there are some erroneous names in the worksheet. Press Ctrl+F3 (the Excel name manager box will show up). On the right hand side there will be a filter button - select "Names with error" and once all of them show up, delete the erroneous names.

I need to make an equation sheet of all these formulas I am using for a project for my Professor. Mathcad is so nice to do this procedure. However, Mathcad 3.1 Prime wants to calculate it. I don't need it to calculate it. I just need to show a list of formulas without calculations and without having a variable undefined. if someone could help me with I would be greatly appreciated. You can see in the picture below to see what I am talking about.

Either of Mark's or Fred's methods will work. I'd probably go for Fred's method as it's less work. Another option is to define your equations as normal, but *first* turn off auto-calculation. This gives you an advantage in that you can just copy & paste them from the formula sheet to your working sheets without modification. They do have a greyed-out appearance, but this might not matter for just an equation list.
