Update All Sheets at same time in a Excel Workbook


Say you have to urgently submit a file with many sheets.

For Example put a Header or write a same  data for all sheets.

I will show you an amazingly powerful tool called Group mode.

Right click on the January worksheet tab and choose Select All Sheets from the context menu.

Say that you have 12 worksheets that are mostly identical. You need to add totals to all 12 worksheets. To enter Group mode, right-click on any worksheet tab and choose Select All Sheets.

The name of the workbook in the title bar now indicates that you are in Group mode.

The title bar at the top of the Excel window shows the workbook name followed by the word Group enclosed in square brackets. [Group] is a very subtle indicator that the workbook is in group mode.

Anything you do to the January worksheet will now happen to all the sheets in the workbook.

Why is this dangerous? If you get distracted and forget that you are in Group mode, you might start entering January data and overwriting data on the 11 other worksheets!

When you are done adding totals, don’t forget to right-click a sheet tab and choose Ungroup Sheets.

Rank Function

How to Use the RANK Function If you give the RANK function a number, and a list of numbers, it will tell you the rank of that number in the list, either in ascending or descending order. For example, in the screen shot below, there is a list of 10 student test scores, in cells B2:B11. To find the rank of the the first student's score in cell B2, enter this formula in cell C2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11) Then, copy the formula from cell C2 down to cell C11, and the scores will be ranked in descending order. RANK Function Arguments There are 3 arguments for the RANK function: number : in the above example, the number to rank is in cell  B2 ref : We want to compare the number to the list of numbers in cells  $B$2:$B$11 . Use an absolute reference ($B$2:$B11), instead of a relative reference (B2:B11)so the referenced range will stay the same when you copy the formula down to the cells below order : (optional) This argument tells Excel whether to rank the list in ascending or descending o...

Error Handling

  Formula errors are common. If you have a data set with hundreds of records, a divide-by-zero and an #N/A errors are bound to pop up now and then. In the past, preventing errors required Herculean efforts. Nod your head knowingly if you’ve ever knocked out  =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,Table,2,0),"Not Found",VLOOKUP(A2,Table,2,0)) . Besides being really long to type, that solution requires twice as many VLOOKUPs. First, you do a VLOOKUP to see if the VLOOKUP is going to produce an error. Then you do the same VLOOKUP again to get the non-error result. Excel 2010 introduced the greatly improved  =IFERROR(Formula,Value If Error) . I know that IFERROR sounds like the old ISERROR, ISERR, and ISNA functions, but it is completely different. This is a brilliant function:  =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Table,2,0),"Not Found") . If you have 1,000 VLOOKUPs and only 5 return #N/A, then the 995 that worked require only a single VLOOKUP. Only the 5 VLOOKUPs returned #N/A that need to move on to th...
