'C:Documents...' Inside Worksheet Function Call
Jan 25, 2008
I have a spreadsheet that uses a function defined in VBA code that is housed in an add-in which is stored in the default location (C:Documents And Settings{user_name}Application DataMicrosoftAdd-Ins). To share this spreadsheet, I first install the add-in on the other person's computer. Then, when the other person opens the spreadsheet, the function doesn't work because the function call on the worksheet contains the whole path of the add-in (and the path contains my {user_name} rather than the other person's). So, the immediate solution is to just delete the path of the add-in from the function call (so that only the name of the function remains, plus the arguments of course). But this is quite inconvenient given the number of times the function appears in the worksheet, and it's not practical as we continue to share files like this.
My question is: is there a way to make sure that the 'C:Documents...' never gets added to the function call in the first place? I mean, why doesn't Excel just try to run the function locally before it adds that path that refers to a separate computer? I do realize that there are other methods of sharing VBA code. For example, I know that I could include the code in the specific spreadsheet that I'm trying to share, and this would work. But, that's not the answer I'm looking for (for one, the function refers to a very large amount of data stored in the add-in, and there are other reasons that make the aforementioned method impractical). I'm wondering if I'm missing something, and if there is a way to stop Excel from tacking on the path string to the function call, so that the function would just work on any computer as long as they have the add-in installed?

I have a spreadsheet with 5 worksheets representing the working days of the week. Each worksheet contains data pertaining to every occurance of that day for as long as it has been recorded. Each day is broken up into hourly data.
So for example, for Monday's worksheet, you would have
Col A..............Col B........Col C
9/jan/06........5am.........data
9/jan/06........6am.........data
9/jan/06........7am.........data
...etc....then...
2/jan/06........5am.........data
2/jan/06........6am.........data
2/jan/06........7am.........data
...etc....
We are trying to create a function, on another worksheet called Query. The only way I can describe what we want it to do is to do it in psuedocode.

I have a work book with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is the main sheet and sheets 2 and 3 will use (I hope vlookup) to update 3 columns from info in sheet 1. my attempt at a vlookup call in sheet 2 is: =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
my understanding is that: - $b3 is the cell in sheet 2 that will be updated as a result of the vlookup call. - [master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65 refers to range $B$3:$B$65 on sheet1 of master_AoJ_2. it does not work... infact I get nothing at all. when I type the call into cell $b3 of sheet2 excel thinks it is stariaght text. this is how I coded the function call =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)

I have data concerning documents people have to write, which is updated weekly. Is there a way of looking up a name and then returning all the documents that they have to write. I have tried a vlookup, but this only returns the first entry and not the lot. Also i would prefer the document data for each person to be returned in to one cell.

In Mr Excel's Pod Cast on April 12th, he showed how to use the OFFSET function to define a range inside a SUM function. Then he had Conditional Formatting that would highlight the range that was being summed. Can anyone tell me what the formula would be inside the Conditional Formatting dialog box to get the OFFSET range to have a certain format?

I would like to use a function or a button to put today's date in documents. The only function I found is "today" but it changes every day. I would like to put, lets say 17-11-13 and still have the same date tomorrow and not 18-11-13.

I'm trying to calc a Simple Moving Average of financial Fund data (row=fund type, column=date) on a very large matrix for a particular fund and date range. I locate the Fund of interest and retrieve the Start and End dates of interest and retrieve their addresses using the ADDRESS function. Since ADDRESS returns a text string, HOW DO I incorporate it's results into the following array function (which ignors blanks and 0 cells): {=AVERAGE(IF($L$10:$V$10>0,$L$10:$V$10,FALSE))}?

=StacServer|Windham! '40720'
This is the format of an external call that I am trying to run. I need to change the number (40720) based on the day of the month (i.e. if its the 5th, then use 40725.
I am attemting to use a function to do this and passing in the device name (Windham) and location (40720). Unfortunately, I have been unable to get a String to send back as a formula. My attempt was as follows :
= Location ("Windham", 40720, "D7")
Function Location(name, num, cell)
Dim psDay As Integer
Dim psLocal As String
psDay = Day(Now)
Location = (Range(cell).Formula = "=StacServer|" & name & "!'" & (num + psDay) & "'")
End Function

I have the following formula that has ceased to work in excel. I don't think there are any errors in it so I'm unsure as to why the link no longer works. Neither of the files I'm using has moved location on the server.
=IF(H7>0,(I7*H7)+((I7*H7/100)*VLOOKUP(B7,'T:FILEFILEFILE'!$B:$E,4,FALSE))+0.25,0)
I'm not sure if this makes much of a difference but people opening the file use various versions of Microsoft Office.

Solution for all: {=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$16,$F$34:$F$40,INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$K$16,0,MATCH(T$10,Sheet1!$B$1:$K $1,0))),U34:U40)}
Say I have an Excel workbook with two sheets: Employee Hours and Employee Wages. On the Hours sheet I have 31 columns (Jan1 - Jan31) with inputs for the number of hours worked by each employee by day. On the Wages sheet I have listed the same 31 columns with their wages each day (I do this to factor in wage increases that occur fairly often).
My goal is to use an INDEX/MATCH function to calculate the total daily compensation for each day on the Wages sheet by multiplying hours*wages for all employees that day. Here's the code I'm using:

i have written a code in VBA to interpolate the value of Y0 corresponding to X0 using a set of (X,Y) points. (I have written this in module1) . This function works when i call it through a Sub or another Function in VBA. but it does not work when I try to use it as a function in my excel worksheets (when I type : =interpolate(A1:A10,B1:B10,30) .... 30 is an arbitrary value). in this case I get #value! error
The function is known in within the worksheets because when I start typing its name, the Auto Name Complete feature of excel, finds this function.
I am new to VAB for excel. Please give me a hint to see my mistakes of if something is missing inside my code.
PHP
Public Function Interpolate(ByRef X() As Double, ByRef Y() As Double, ByRef X0 As Double) As Double Dim I As Integer, Slope As Double, NData As Integer NData = UBound(X) For I = 1 To UBound(X) - 1 If (X(I) = X0) Then Interpolate = Y(I) Exit Function ElseIf (X0 < ListMax(X(I), X(I + 1)) And X0 > ListMin(X(I), X(I + 1))) Then Slope = (Y(I) - Y(I + 1)) / (X(I) - X(I + 1)) Interpolate = Y(I + 1) + Slope * (X0 - X(I + 1)) Exit Function End If Next I End FunctionPublic Function ListMax(ParamArray ListItems() As Variant) Dim I As Integer ListMax = ListItems(0) For I = 0 To UBound(ListItems()) If ListItems(I) > ListMax Then ListMax = ListItems(I) Next IEnd FunctionPublic Function ListMin(ParamArray ListItems() As Variant) Dim I As Integer ListMin = ListItems(0) For I = 0 To UBound(ListItems()) If ListItems(I) < ListMin Then ListMin = ListItems(I) Next IEnd Function

I'm starting a project where Excel will be used as the main UI for defining a table of data. I'm expecting to define a "template" - xlt i guess - that users can open and save as an xls, without over-writing the template. Users will populate the spreadsheet with a lot of help from user defined functions. I'm just getting started and would like to populate a particular cell with the current date, but only the first time the sheet is opened. I tried checking whether a cell was empty before assigning a value to it, of course this meant recursion!
Also: It might be nice to use the Today() function inside a UDF, but TODAY isn't a member of Application.WorksheetFunction - is there no way to reference TODAY() from within a UDF?

The first three formulas give valid results but the fourth example throws in an error after hitting Enter. As you can see I put in the HOUR function. As far as my knowledge goes the HOUR function generates an integer.
So why does C4 not work? Formulas go in column C
A
B
C
1
22
20
1
=COUNTIF(A1,">"&B1)

I'm trying to create a simple VBA function in Excel so that I can sort and calculate results based on various conditions. I can get everything to work except changing the color of the cell where the output is placed. Here is what I have so far:
Function nameOfMyFunction(arguments)
If conditions Then
nameOfMyFunction = "No GRP"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = RGB(255,0,0)
End If
I'm sure that its something simple, but I've spent long enough on my own trying to figure it out and nothing seems to work.

I wrote a function procedure in VBA. Pasted it into a 'VBAProject' sheet in my workbook. But when I try to call the function (by entering the name and arguments into a cell), the sheet displays "#NAME?".
What have I forgotten?
example:
Public Function TotDays( _EndDate As Date, _StartDate As Date _) As Integer
TotDays = EndDate - StartDate
End Function
cell
a5: =totdays(b2,A2)
b2: 4/1/2007

I created a file with one sub and one function. Saved it as an add-in. and followed the promts to insert the Add-in.
The button I assigned to the macro works fine, but when I call the function, I am told "Sub or Function not defined".
Is there some special way to call an add-in function from VB?

I'm playing around with the Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) function. I have a list of people in Column D that I'd like to move data around if the user double clicks on a cell in Column D. The list is about 158 rows long, and could grow beyond that. I've gotten lazy typing:
If Intersect(Target, Range("D4") Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
{My Code Here}
End If
If Intersect(Target, Range("D5") Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
{My Code Here}
End If
Etc, Etc, Etc
What I was hoping to do is use a variable (t) to cycle through the rows and call the various functions. So what I came up with is:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim t As Integer
Dim Subtest As String
For t = 4 To 158
Subtest = "D" & t
I've created Sub D4(), Sub D5(), and Sub D6() as a test. This didn't work at all as it's looking for a Subtest(). Also, clicking on D5, D6, didn't do much either. Is there any way to make this cycle work, or should I keep typing away?

I wanted to have that one appear whenever a certain cell in a certain sheet gets a specific value, and depending on the answer of the user the Form should set the value of some other cell. So maybe there´s a much simpler solution to this task than what I tried - and I´ll be grateful to learn about it.
Anyway I tried the code which follows below - and it works just fine when I call it from the VBE environment - but inside the UserForm it just stops in between (without any error message) when I operate it from the Excel sheet (but still succeeds with the function). I´ll be very happy if someone could solve this "miracle" for me (even IF there´s a better solution altogether). So I just provided a simple Function which does nothing but call the UserForm and is executed whenever the condition is met (some calls to MessageBoxes in between just have been added to see how far the code gets executed): Function:
Public Function Call_my_form()
Call Option_Form.Show
MsgBox "Call executed"
End Function
Call of the function: =If(E11="Go";Call_my_form();"Nothing")
The UserForm just uses two OptionButtons with code as follows (two versions to check whether one of these would be the reason - both do behave the same way):
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()...........................

I have created an Excel add-in (.xla) which contains many custom functions. This add-in is stored as read-only on a network drive. I reference it from various spreadsheets and calls to it work perfectly unless I put a call to it in the Workbook_Open event. When I make a call to a function in the add-in from a spreadsheet's Workbook_Open event, Excel crashes completely and I get the dialog that offers to recover the file and report the problem (i.e. Excel shuts down). I have no doubt that this is being caused by the call to the add-in specifically from the Workbook_Open event as removing this call solves the problem. Also, it is not related to a particular function as I have tried various ones; it is ANY call to the add-in from Workbook_Open that causes it. Is this a bug in Excel or is there something that I need to do before referencing the add-in in Workbook_Open? I have tried Application.CalculateFull and Doevents prior to making the call to the add-in and neither approach worked.
