Thanks. Is there a way to use it with the wild card feature?
I don't know offhand but it's worth a try!

Got it. You put the * where its pulling the criteria from. Also you don't need to put = before the criteria. (the ' gets put in automatically)

Sounds good! I was playing around with it and at some point adding the = helped, but maybe it was something else that it needed really

Oh
It means that the column to sum is the 3rd column in the range (1st argument)
Is there a way to make it that if it says apple, green apple or red apple in the first column it won't count orange in the second column (in the same row)?

pretty sure it won't... since it's already counting that row due to the orange. It won't count it twice.

It's counting it by me. There's 2 different criteria and each one is being met.

What I would do is make a DosMonth column that formats date date of service by yy-mm (this sorts well) then Add a DaysToPayment column that is date paid minus date of service (format as number to get how many days later it was) and make sure there are no negatives if it was paid early.

Then create a pivot table where you group by DosMonth and average the DaysToPayment formula column.

Ask chatgpt. It's amazing when looking for formulas. Sometimes it needs more than one try, but in the end it responds with a detailed formula or process

I need to copy/paste a list of names with addresses to excel. Any way to do it in mass instead of each name/address seperately?

Copy/paste from?

You can obviously paste a mass copy to Excel. The question is if you can copy it en masse (which has to do with the source, not with Excel.)

Basically I have lots of papers with names/addresses that need to be scanned and have the text extracted and then copy/pasted to excel. Is that possible? Thanks for your help!
