    It's there any way to create a live continuous update into Excel from data i can only see on my computer screen? To clarify, i trade options and use thinkorswim platform. There is certain data from option statistics in the put call ratios that i want to feed into Excel and calculate with certain formulas... Instead of having to constantly manually update them I'd love to find a way to get them updated automatically. Normally the platform provides a link to feed into Excel but not for this data. I can only see it change on screen... Is it possible to get that data from just my screen live into Excel and update automatically as it constantly changes?

    I find myself needing some assistance with the following: Please imagine a spreadsheet with various columns between A-T For simplicity I will reference my own needs to column A & C Column A will contain the name of a person who is assigned a piece of work. Column B will contain the date they were assigned the work. Column C will contain the date they completed and return the work. The task I have been assigned it to collate how many times a person is assigned a piece of work and when they returned it. ( I am required to present data on a month by month basis ) At the moment I have been using filters as I am unsure how to use formulas to simply this process. We have up to 25 names that could be used in column A. Over a month we have 125-180 pieces of work. As you can imagine using filters for this process has been difficult. Colleagues will not assist me or teach me how to use excel functions and make my life easier. Is there a way of searching for colleague (x) in column A and automatically finding all return dates associated this colleague (x) in column C ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • @RockstarExcel
      @RockstarExcel 3 місяці тому

      Are you trying to get a list of dates, or count the number of return dates? To count the dates, you want to use the COUNTIF() or COUNTIFS() function. If you're trying to get a list of dates, filtering would be one of the easiest ways to do it. You could also sort by name. If you want a list by itself on a separate spreadsheet you can sort then copy-paste. Or if you don't want to sort, you can filter, then on the Home ribbon select Find & Select -> Go to Special -> Visible Cells Only, then copy-paste. If none of these work, perhaps I'm not understanding what you're asking.

  • @geoffreybenedict2075
    @geoffreybenedict2075 6 місяців тому

    If you use an ifs function in the current HP box you can get rid of the error column. if max hp and damage is less than 0,0, if it's more than max hp, max hp, then a placeholder formula like if max and damage is greater than 0, max and damage. Current HP will work fine and not go above max or below 0.

    • @RockstarExcel
      @RockstarExcel 6 місяців тому

      That's true. However, I didn't want to prevent going above the HP max because temporary hit points might allow someone to legitimately do so. And while in 5e it's not possible to go below 0 HP, it is useful to see how much below 0 HP an attack *would* put someone, because of the rule about instant death due to massive damage. The other issue is that in normal situations (no temp HP or instant death), corrections need to be made at the time the HP value goes outside the allowable range. For example, someone with an HP max of 20 takes 10 damage, then receives 15 healing, then takes 8 damage. If your formula is just adding up the numbers, it will tell you they have 17 HP remaining. But they should have 12 HP, because only 10 out of the 15 healing they received should have counted. An ifs statement would see 17 as a valid result, and not be smart enough to know it should have made a correction partway through adding things up. It is possible to create a formula that accounts for this, but that would make the spreadsheet MUCH more complicated, and put it beyond the skill level of anyone but advanced Excel users. That's why I decided it was better to manually make the corrections. Hope you find this helpful.
