Hello Jeff,

Thank you for your query. You can find the answer to your question in the Excel file linked to this message.

Sort Alphanumeric.xlsx

Follow the steps shown below to sort alphanumeric data.

Enter the formula into the E5 cell to convert the alphanumeric data to numeric data >> drag the Fill Handle tool to copy the formula to the cells below.
=VALUE(CONCATENATE(COLUMN(INDIRECT(LEFT(D6,2)&1)),RIGHT(D6,LEN(D6)-1)))

Now, select the E5:E13 range >> click Sort & Filter >> select Sort Smallest to Largest.
A warning box appears, Expand the selection option is checked by default >> click the Sort button.

That’s it the data will be sorted.

Hope you find this useful. Have a good day.

Hello Tomás Limeme,

Thank you for your feedback. The goal of a bank reconciliation is to identify and adjust any difference between the closing balances of our cashbook and bank statement over a specific period. To do this, we add or subtract any unrecorded transaction from our unadjusted closing balance.

In short, adding and subtracting ensures the matching of the bank statement and cashbook balances. This is important for proper financial reporting and to avoid mistakes or fraud.

Let’s review some of the transactions that are added, followed by the transactions that are subtracted.

Examples of transactions that are added include:
1. Deposits in transit: Funds transferred to the bank account but not yet entered into the accounting system.
2. Bank errors: Mistakes made by the bank, such as incorrectly recorded deposits or credits.
3. Earned interest: Interest on an account that hasn’t been entered into the accounting system.

On the other hand, subtracted transactions are:
1. Outstanding checks: Checks that have been written but have not yet been cashed by the bank.
2. Bank fees: Charges made by banks that are not accounted for in the accounting system.
3. Not Sufficient Fund checks: Checks that the bank returned due to insufficient money in the account of the issuer.

Hope this helps, have a good day.

Thank you for your inquiry. Regrettably, Microsoft Word does not have the capability to perform a mail merge with Excel charts. Although there are third-party add-ins that claim to provide this functionality, we cannot vouch for their security, and therefore, we do not recommend their use.

Perhaps, you may post this query on Microsoft Community, where experts can direct you to a trusted alternative.

Hello KC,
Thanks for the feedback. It appears that the INDIRECT function is unable to return the sum of two columns from multiple worksheets, even though it works fine for a single column. Rather, we can use the XLOOKUP and SUM functions to get the results.

You can download the Excel file included in this reply.
SUMIF Across Multiple Sheets.xlsx

Consider the Sales Performance dataset for Los Angeles, likewise, we have the Sales Performance dataset for New York.

The screenshot below shows the aggregate sales for each salesman using the SUM and XLOOKUP functions.

=SUM(XLOOKUP(B5,'Sales Data LA'!$B$4:$B$9,'Sales Data LA'!$C$4:$E$9), XLOOKUP(B5,'Sales Data NY'!$B$4:$B$9,'Sales Data NY'!$C$4:$E$9))

Hello RICHARD MUTALE BWALYA,

Thank you for your question. Changing a fixed-rate loan to a variable rate depends on the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, in addition to the applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where the loan was made.

So, we believe it is best that you contact a financial advisor who can suggest the proper course of action based on your agreement.

Hello KAREN W,
First of all, we would like to apologize for the trouble. As you pointed out, there were in fact some issues with the cell referencing in the Regression mathod, luckily they have been updated.

The Exceldemy team is grateful to you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. Hopefully, now you can obtain the desired result.

Hello Behzad,
Thank you for your question. We’re sorry to hear that you’re facing difficulties with the formula. In fact, the ExcelDemy team has tested the Excel file following your comment and the formula appears to be working correctly.

That said, it would be helpful if you could send us a screenshot of the issue that you’re experiencing.

Hello Jamil Khan,
Thank you for your question. Actually, this is how the RANK function works, that is to say, it ranks the duplicate values in ascending or descending order according to the given argument. Now, to have the same ranks for identical values you can follow Method 1 or download the Excel file that the ExcelDemy team has created.

Otherwise, you can just follow the steps below.

In order to rename the sheets in a sequential way, you can use another VBA Macro. So, let’s see the step below.

Step: 1
a. Firstly, navigate to the Developer tab >> click the Visual Basic button. This opens the Visual Basic Editor in a new window.
b. Next, go to the Insert tab >> select Module.
For your ease of reference, you can copy the code from here and paste it into the window.

Step: 2
a. Secondly, close the Visual Basic Editor >> in the top Ribbon, click the Macros button >> Now, select the Rename_Multiple_Sheets Macro and press Run.
b. This opens up a few input boxes. The inputs are described in the step below therefore just follow these steps.

Step: 3
a. The first Input Box will ask you to enter the name of the sheets that you want to change. Since you want to rename your worksheets to Sheet1, Sheet2, etc. you can type in ALL.
b. The second Input Box will ask you whether you change the sheet names in a sequential way or in a random way. In this case, you enter 1.
c. If you go for a sequential way, the third Input Box will ask for a series of values from the options below. Now, enter 1 for a series of Numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.)
d. Next, enter a Prefix before the numbers, for instance, “Sheet”.
e. Then, give the Starting Number, in this case, 1.
f. Lastly, provide the Increment for the numbers, for example, you can choose 1.
Voila! All your sheets are numbered serially as Sheet 1, Sheet 2, etc.

Hello RAY,
Thank you for your question. The Exceldemy team has created an Excel file with the solution to your question. Please provide your email address here, we will send it to you in no time.

Otherwise, you can just follow the steps below.

Suppose we want to use the MID Function as shown in Method 1. Now, we want to determine the age of a person whose ID Number starts with 00 (which refers to the Year 2000) but that person was born after the Year 2000.

Step: 1
• Firstly, let’s consider Mary with the ID Number to be ‘0005255800012.
• As a note, Excel removes any leading zeros from numbers so we have inserted an apostrophe comma to store the ID Number as text.

Step: 2
• Secondly, let’s assume Mary was born in the Year 2003.
• Now, on the Date of Birth column insert the formula given below.
=MID(C14,5,2)&"/"&MID(C14,3,2)&"/"&"0"&MID(C14,1,2)+3

• You should see the result as 25/05/03.

Step: 3
• Next, AutoFill the Current Date and Age columns.
• The value of Age should be 19 years.

Similarly, we have also included a second example for Julian with the ID Number ‘0108295800012 but he was born in the Year 2006.

Please feel free to provide any further feedback.

Hello FELICIA FOO,
Thank you for your question. You can find the average of a group by right-clicking on the Row Labels (Sum of Sales) and selecting the Value Field Settings option. Next, in the Summarize value field by list, you’ll find Average.
