    Creating custom stats updating with a data table

    customstats.xlsx

    So I have two columns. One with dates, the other with either "Bid" or "Offer". I'm trying to create a time series on a daily / weekly basis whereby I calculate bid / ( bid+offer) or other random stats. I need the stats column to automatically follow new data entries. The user won't touch the custom stats column.

    Any suggestions?

    Re: Creating custom stats updating with a data table

    If I have 6 or so columns each with 3 or so categories this would turn into a massive spreadsheet if I used this method. The other problem is that someone entering data won't want to set this up.
    I've played around with using if(cell="", ..., ...) statements and filled in many more cells then necessary so the stats will automatically update but the problem is my spreadsheet ballooned to over 15mb. Any other ideas?

    Re: Creating custom stats updating with a data table

    if they just enter the two data elements into column A and B ,then the formula in C and D will copy down as its setup as a table
    then on the pivot table - just need to click on the refresh button to update

    so only extra step is the refresh button - nothing else to "set-up"
    statements and filled in many more cells then necessary so the stats will automatically update
    what else have you had to update , other than what is in the attached spreadsheet example

    re size

    try deleting any extra sheets
    also all the columns and rows - you may have touched
    the size of the workbook will increase if you select a blank cell and have lots of columns and rows unnecessary in the workbook
    for example
    i reduced from 33K to 25K just by doing that

    I got to the row after the data
    and then
    Shift+Control+downArrow keys
    which selects all the blankrows and then delete
    and with the columns
    goto the column after the data
    Shift+Control+rightArrow keys
    and delete all the columns
