Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This might take some explaining. And I might get laughed at.

Why can't I do this and get a TRUE/FALSE result, please?

=F2:F10=G2:G10

Try this:

=IF(SUM(F2:F10)=SUM(G2:G10),TRUE,FALSE)

That is odd, when you can do cell A1 to be =F2:F10 and cell B1 to be =G2:G10 and then =A1=B1 to be TRUE/FALSE.

Even as an Array formula it only evaluates the first row.

This works, but I don't understand:

{=AND(L12:L18=M12:M18)}

Any idea show I can create hyperlinks more efficiently?

I've got a large list of engineering drawing numbers, and I have a copy of those drawings in pdf format. What I'd like to do is to have those hyperlinked so I can click on a link in excel and the drawing opens up. Obviously I can go through the list and create the links one by one, but there must be a better way.

The batch I'm working on at the moment has 210 in, but that's just the starting point. I've another list with a few thousand in...

=hyperlink(string for URL, friendly name)

So if cell A1 says fetcheveryone and B1 =hyperlink("www."&A1&".com","Fetch link") would create a clickable link.

Can you work it frmo there?

Greppers, I can't even make sense out of your second example as logic.

We have such a drawing register file here (in excel). I didn't create it.
This is not a great answer, but if your drawing numbers are sequential, then you can drag down a cell with a hyperlink to create a new link in each cell following in sequence .

I presume the AND is saying if L12=M12 and L13=M13, etc then return TRUE. Answer is true if all are true.

In the first example I guess it isn't sure how to evaluate it to one answer (as opposed to 7 TRUE/ FALSE statements) so just gives the first one.
