Example --- I have a a Cell Y13 with the following formula in it. =IF(V13="","",W13-X13) which works well (stating - if V13 is blank leave blank, if not then subtrack w13 from x13 and enter that instead) however, I want to include another cell AN13 - I need the formula to look at AN13 first and if there is a value in AN13 put the word "Completed" if not then follow the first formula. I would also like to create a Status column that would compute On Track or Past Due depending on what the last step is showing. - Example line 16 Step 1 shows on track but step two is past due so the status would be past due. However if the first step showed "past due" and the second step showed On track the status would show "on track". I would like to have it look at the last step entered for all 7 steps Z-AL to compute the correct status

Hi there, I'd like to be able to paste the values from one column in a worksheet to a set group of cell in another. In this instance, I have a column of 27 cells in sheet 1, and I'd like to paste one cell every 27th row in teh data tab. So, the value in Sheet1 - A1 would paste to Data tab - E3, Sheet1 - A2 would paste to Data -E29 etc.

Column BP7 needs to find the minimum value between cells G7:L7. Between G7 & L7 is two results, I have "39" in K7 and "56.39" in L7. Clearly, K7 is the minimum value and should be the result from my formula in BP7, however it is "56.39" that is being displayed! When I force the formula to only read cell K7, it returns the result as 0.00. Please help, I cannot figure this out!

I would like to be able to lock in a date/time stamp in excel. when I enter a name in the 'completed by" column, I would like the date/time to appear and lock so it cannot be changed. Please see tab SOD Tasklist 2 to work on. I read that a VBA script can be copied and pasted. I tried it but go errors. Also it requires the sheet to be protected but I cannot have it protected. Can this be done? Thanks
