  • How can I make open office calc (basically excel) give me a total based on a date range?

    I want a total of all the figures from columns C through F but only from a date range from a date in column b.

    My formula so far..

    =SUMIF(B2:B9999,"<"&DATE(2008,12,31),C1:F9999)-SUMIF(B2:B9999,"<"&DATE(2009,1,31)) ,C1:F9999)

    or

    =SUMPRODUCT((B2:B9999>=DATE(2009,1,1)),(B2:B9999<=DATE(2009,1,31)),C1:F9999)

  • Possible identity theft scam from india first five digits ssn?

    Callers from India are saying they're working for AT&T or some company and asking for your resume. They want the resume and, oh by the way, they also need the first five digits of your social security number. I've never gotten that request in my life. And they didn't know a lot about the company like the branch location, etc. Just a heads up.

  • excel help using countif?

    I have an excel spreadsheet with a student list one sheet one and attendance counts on sheet two. I use this function in sheet one to get an attendance report

    =COUNTIF(Sheet2.A1:Sheet2.A30;2500)

    In this function, the number 2500 is the student number.

    I have to apply this for each student in sheet one, and I apply the cursor on the same row of each student to get the attendance result.

    I'd like to have the function repeat down sheet one, with the student number change for each function run, depending on the line its on in sheet 1. Is there a way to do this?

  • Racism in the temp workplace?

    I'm a white guy in my 40s, and I'm finding myself unemployed. In the last year, I tried temping. However, the agencies keep sending me to predominantly black offices where I find myself most unwelcome, despite my ability to do the work. I've been pushed out or called out of positions several times now. Why would a group so fascinated by their own history practice such terrible racism? I had nothing to do with slavery, why attack me? I only want to work!

  • Hard drive indexing problem. Chkdsk won't fix?

    I've been having problems with my computer rebooting on its own. Evenutally my pc wouldn't load windows. I found out the reason and fixed it, even reloaded windows. But now my hard drive has indexing errors that cause it to reboot every so often. Chkdsk won't fix it. Norton Disk Doctor won't. Both programs say something is using the computer and it can't continue. Even setting either program to do this at reboot won't help. How can I fix these problems?
