    almost there

    Title: Final negotiations

    A need put forward with agression
    required a geometric progression
    without sumproduct
    I would have been
    but the solution relieved the tension



    Hope this was useful or entertaining.

    Ode to a Dead Accountant
    There was a bookkeeper who used Excel
    And knew it exceptionally well
    But to his dismay when he died
    He went down where he fried
    And they only have calculators in Hell.

    The next challenge:

    a function piece of code that scans as a limerick.

    And I think we should allow it to be a group of 5 lines in a larger piece of code.


    Hope this was useful or entertaining.

    Ode to a Senseless Function

    If NewVal = OldVal And OldVal = 8 _
    Then OldVal = SomeVal / Date
    On Error GoTo Next
    Activesheet.Unprotect
    Worksheets(1).Rows(15).Calculate

    Ode to an Ungrateful Twit
    A bonehead once visited this site
    And wrote on here nothing polite
    Demanded his needs we meet
    But our revenge was so sweet
    Sans our help his mess was ne'er set right.

    Ode to Text Functions
    First, learn Search, Substitute, and Replace
    Then Upper and Lower for the case
    Left, Right, and Mid come next
    Then you can handle most text
    Or just type what you want in the first place.

    Re: The Excel Limerick Collection (all styles)

    ok try this
    in response to a simple question
    Adam lloyd did sumproduct mention
    but the man from Mumbai
    from a help desk think I !
    said "Sir,I tried this and it works fine for any column (N) that is not the
    result of a formula. The data in column N is the result of a long
    formula, and when I try and use this sum product equation to total the
    values in column N I get the VALUE error, that's not my intention"

    Re: The Excel Limerick Collection (all styles)

    An OP used an array with conviction
    a response said another direction
    an hour or so had to pass
    before he created a class
    his code for the forum a valediction


    Hope this was useful or entertaining.
