  3. Hi,If you have names in cells A2 to A9Scores in cells B2 to B9Then enter this in cell D2:=OFFSET($A$2,MATCH(LARGE($B$2:$B$9,1),$B$2:$B$9,0)-1,0)This will return the name of the person with the highest scoreIn D3 enter:=OFFSET($A$2,MATCH(LARGE($B$2:$B$9,2),$B$2:$B$9,0)-1,0)The only difference is thatRead more

    Hi,

    If you have names in cells A2 to A9
    Scores in cells B2 to B9

    Then enter this in cell D2:
    =OFFSET($A$2,MATCH(LARGE($B$2:$B$9,1),$B$2:$B$9,0)-1,0)
    This will return the name of the person with the highest score

    In D3 enter:
    =OFFSET($A$2,MATCH(LARGE($B$2:$B$9,2),$B$2:$B$9,0)-1,0)

    The only difference is that this uses 2 in the LARGE formula, to find the second largest value and in-turn the name on the same row of the person with the second highest score.

    To just get the scores in column E use this in E2:
    =LARGE($B$2:$B$9,1)

    In E3 use:
    =LARGE($B$2:$B$9,2)

    Adjust ranges to match your data

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

    It would help if we knew what formula(s) you are using to create this layout.

    If you could provide an example of the Input data along with the formula that applies to that data, we would have a better idea of exactly what you are doing. From there we can see if there is something that can be done prior to the Paste Values operation in order to achieve your goal. I’m not saying that it can be done that way, but until I understand your entire process I don’t want to say that it can or can’t be done without code.

    You have entered into kind of a grey area within Excel. While Excel does indeed have some text related functions, they are there (IMO) mainly as a convenience. Excel is “calculation based” application, not a word processing application. Many people try to force it into the word processing arena but it doesn’t always fit well.

    That doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways to get text operations done, just that, as you have found, it isn’t always straight forward.

    Regarding your comment “I don’t want to use code as I’m not comfortable with it.”

    It may be time to step out of your comfort zone. VBA code is a very powerful tool in it’s own right and sometimes it is the only tool available for some tasks.

    While I’m not saying that VBA is the only solution for this specific task, it is a viable option and can be done with a single instruction inside a loop.

    The following code, while perhaps appearing “uncomfortable”, is really pretty simple when explained in “English”.

    The For-Next loop counts from 1 to 1000 creating a variable [rwNum] that is used as a Row Number. i.e. Each time it loops, it refers to the next cell in Column A:

    “A” & 1, “A” & 2, etc.

    The single instruction inside the loop determines the position of the Carriage Return [Chr(10)] and then Bolds all characters from position 1 to the position of the Carriage Return.

    What you end up with is:

    Section 1-1

    Y = -77.687

    X = (-3.454,13.500)

    Here is the code that does that:

    Sub BoldOneLine()
      For rwNum = 1 To 1000
        Range("A" & rwNum).Characters(1, InStr(1, Range("A" & rwNum), _
               Chr(10))).Font.Bold = True
      Next
    End Sub

  5. I don't see this as a problem. People pay extra for an IP address that never changes.The reason it never changes is simply down to the way the ISP has it DHCP server configured.

    I don’t see this as a problem. People pay extra for an IP address that never changes.

    The reason it never changes is simply down to the way the ISP has it DHCP server configured. It is fairly common to get the same IP address back when you renew especially if the ISP is working with a limited address pool. There is nothing you can do about it as it is entirely down to the ISP as to how they configure their DHCP server.

    You don’t mention a router so I am assuming that the IP address you are talking about is your public IP address. If you are behind a router then ipconfig only effects your private IP address which is a different thing altogether.

  6. Software overclocking rarely works well. It doesn't offer enough control over the necessary settings. And the fact that you have a mis-match of RAM doesn't help your chances. Ideally, you should jack up the CPU frequency from 333MHz to 400MHz, that will clock the CPU at 2.8GHz @ 1600MHz FSB. The DDRRead more

    Software overclocking rarely works well. It doesn’t offer enough control over the necessary settings. And the fact that you have a mis-match of RAM doesn’t help your chances. Ideally, you should jack up the CPU frequency from 333MHz to 400MHz, that will clock the CPU at 2.8GHz @ 1600MHz FSB. The DDR2-667 you have in slot # 1 is going to hold you back though. All you can do is experiment by raising the CPU frequency in small increments until the system becomes unstable, then back it off a bit. You might want to consider buying a motherboard that supports BIOS overclocking instead. Intel chipsets are great for overclocking, but boards manufactured by Intel generally are not.
