#### Excel Conditional Formula Problem

undefined::undefined::undefined

I'm modeling the development of a 57 unit housing project, and need t
determine the number of units under construction in any given month
The inputs are as follows:

C7: Total Units	                                57
C8: Unit Construction Start Month:	2
C9: Unit Construction Starts per Month:	2
C10: Unit Construction Cycle (months):	5

Row 48 contains the number of housing starts by month. There are 3
columns, which represent the total months in the project.  I've writte
a formula which indicates the number of housing starts per month. C4
through AL46 contain months 1 through 36.

Cell C48 contains the formula:
IF(C46<$C$8,0,IF((AND(C46>=$C$8,$C$7-SUM($C$48:C48)>=$C$9)),$C$9,MAX(0,$C$7-SUM($C$48:C48))))
In this case, the unit starts in month 1 are 0, because the uni
construction start month is 2.  Months 2 through 29 have 2 constructio
starts each and month 30 has 1.

What I now need to do is write a formula that calculates the number o
units under construction in any given month. In this case, each uni
takes 5 months to build, so month 1 will show 0, month 2 will show 2
month 3 will show 4, etc., until a peak of 10 units under constructio
is reached for several months in a row. The figure then declines t
zero in month 34. I can't use any fixed values because I need t
perform sensitivity analysis, and I don't know VBA. Any ideas on wha
formula will work? Thanks

I have a solution which involves changing the structure
of your workbook slightly. If you give me an E-mail
address I'll forward it to you.

Conditional Format order
Hi all, Is there an easy way of changing the order of the three conditional formats for a cell, or do I just have to re-type them all? Thanks - Dave. Sorry, no quick and easy way - just be glad there aren't more to deal with! Do remember that you can change groups of cells to same conditions, at least you don't have to do that one at a time.

Assume I have a column of numbers, in a file named Source. (range is B2:B10). These cells are linked to a column in a file named Destination(range is E2:E10). If I add a new row 5 to the source, is there a way I can get the previously linked cells in Destination to continue to display the correct values. After adding the new row 5 in source, rows in Destination below row 5 display values from rows below (in the Source file). I hope this is not too confusing a question (I am confused). If it of importance, the linking was done using Paste Link in the Paste Special dialog. Thanks. Hi PA Yo...

Form printing problem
Hi all, I have a form that holds customer records which we have been printing out for filing. I put a print record command button at the top of the form and this has been working perfectly for at least the last four years printing on plain paper using auto selection on the printer. Recently the form record has started printing onto header paper. It doesn't matter whether I change the properties on the printer it keeps printing to headed paper and the only way round was to put plain paper into the headed paper tray.

Is this possible within Excel 2000?
Hi, I've used Excel on a get by basis for many years at work, and I'm just beginning to realise its vast capabilities, having viewed several groups which I didn't know existed previously. I subsequently would like to ask if it is possible for Excel to look at the numerical or text content of a cell on one worksheet and then look at a predefined range on another worksheet and find the equivalent cell content and then move the cursor to that cell? This has me stumped presently. Thanks in advance for any assistance. J.J. To actually move the selection, you'd need to use a litt...

Folks The background is that an Access MDE/ACCDE created by a developer is not conceptually the same as an Excel spreadsheet or Word document file created by the user. My Auto FE Updater utility automatically downloads any new version created by the developer from the server to the workstation as well as doing lots of other stuff such as creating shortcuts on desk tops. If this was a user created Access database file which resides in the users My Documents folder, or similar, than they are conceptually the same as a Word or Excel file.
