I am linking several cells in Sheet1 to other sheets throughout the workbook. Sheets2-10 to be exact. The problem is when no data is in a given cell in Sheet1 a '0' shows up on the linked cell in Sheet2-10. The problem is 0 can be a correct response sometimes and if 0 is always to show up someone is going to misunderstand the task.
I just want to stop blank entries from being linked over as 0. I have a ton of cells being linked and don't want to do conditional formatting on each individual cell. Is their any easy way to stop this?
I am trying to use a MIN() function on a row of numbers; the row is not completely full (some days data was not recorded) and when I have a blank cell, the result in the MIN() frame is 0.0. This is unless of course I have a negative number (which I don't, but for the sake of argument)
This is my current function:
{=MIN(IF(AND(MOD(COLUMN($D10:$DL10),5)=1,CELL("CONTENTS",($D10:$DQ10))0),$D10:$DL10))} It works like: Take every 5th column starting at the second. Try to ignore any cell that contains 0. (This I am trying to get to filter out the empty cells; I have tried ISBLANK(), ISNUMBER() and still get nothing) Then return the cell to the MIN() function.
That is the long winded thing of it all, basically it can be summarized as this:
{=MIN(D10:DL10} I have also tried some other code which I was told did the same thing essentially (which it does) but is shorter and nicer:
{=MIN(IF($B$5:$DQ$5="Q*",$B10:$DQ10))} Which will check for the proper heading on each Column.
These functions work fine with AVERAGE/MAX as far as I can tell, just not with MIN().
As a side note, none of the cells leading up to this function contain "0".
I would like to hide the content of a cell so it appears blank to user. I edit excel bike tour (route) cue sheets for our bicycle club and some info is needed for formulas in calculating total distance but doesn't need to be seen by the bicycle rider.
I have a couple of spreadsheets that has several columns each containing several hundred thousand rows of codes. To quickly analyze this data, I am trying to come up with a conditional formatting formula to highlight the respective cells when specific values occur next to each other. A particular code will show up in many cells, but the code that is the respective adjacent cell is always different. I need to know when row A contains, for example, '9928559' and row B contains '36415RT'.
I have a workbook that uses the values that a user had entered into 3 cells to calculate multiple other charts/diagrams on multiple sheets within the workbook. Each sheet would show what the user had entered in the 3 cells to allow them to see what is being used to calculate each table. Is it possible to link these cells so that the user can change the 3 values without having to go back to where he originally entered the 3 values?
For example, a user has entered in 3 values in Sheet 1. A formula in Sheet 2 displays what is entered by the user and uses these calls in Sheet 2 for calculations. When the user wants to change the three values, he would have to navigate to Sheet 1 and enter in the new values to have the workbook recalculate all the tables. Is there a way to link the three cells from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 so when the user is on Sheet 2, he has the opportunity to change the values on the current Sheet without having to navigate to Sheet 1 to do so?
The spreadsheet that i use includes a table that some of the cells are displayed as blanks( include an IFERROR function ) I need to calculate the XIRR for a range of cells in a row that includes some of these "Blank" cells
I have a gradebook that contains 3 assignments. For each assignment, a student could choose between one of three options (A, B, or C). Some students completed multiple option.
1A 1B 1C 2A 2B 2C
John 6 3 2 4 6
Mary 2 2 3
Sue 4
I need to count how many assignments were done, not how many options they completed. So in the example above:
John complete 2 assignments. Mary completed 2 assignments. Sue completed 1 assignment.
What is the correct formula that will look at a range of cells, and if a student completed at least one option, return a count of 1?
I am trying to extract the number of times a name appears on a certain range of cells on a worksheet, now I can get this to work, but I am sure there is a better way I just cant get it to work!
I'm wondering if there is a way of linking to cells by looking up part of the link in another cell. E.g.In Sheet1, cell A1, i have some data that I want link to from Sheet2. Normally I'd do that by using "=Sheet1!A1" in the cell in Sheet2.
But I'd like to lookup the "A1" part of the link from two different cells in Sheet 2. Something like: =Sheet1!(Text from B1 in Sheet2 AND Text from A2 in Sheet2) or: =Sheet1!(Sheet2!B1&Sheet2!A2). So that if Sheet2!B1 would contain an "A", and Sheet2!A2 would contain a "1" the resulting link would be the correct "=Sheet1!A1"
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
[Code]....
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.
Example: Lets say I have a workbook with 6 sheets on it and the sheets names are:
Sheet1 Sheet2 Sheet3 Sheet4 Sheet5 Status
And we will just use cell A1 through sheet1 to sheet5 and the status sheet to grab the numbers from sheet 1 through sheet5 Sheet1 through sheet5 will have numbers in cells A1
And in the status sheet I would like to find the highest number from these 5 sheets and put it in cell A1 status sheet and have it linkable like when it finds the highest number it will put it in cell A1 on the status sheet and when I click on the A1 cell in the status sheet I would like it to goto that sheet that has the highest number it found and maybe highlight it or something.
I'd like to search for a specific value like (1) in an array of cells like (A:A). The result needs to be the average number of a different column (B:B) in the same row as the searched value (1). And the resulting number should be rounded up to the nearest 10.
Example below: (Find value = 1 in A:A) ... 1 is found 4 times.
In the example above there are 4 (1's) found. By adding all the values in column (B) of the same row, we get 295+400+354+400 = 1449, dividing that in 4, the average is 362.25, rounding that up to the nearest 10... THE RESULT I'M LOOKING FOR IS: 370
I need to have three rows link to each other. The first column cell A is a paste link and is always changing. The second B is a vlookup referenceing A and finding it in a changing table...the source for the paste link. C needs to follow the other two cells and remain "attached" to it. However, C has to be a cell that is hardcoded somewhere, meaning that C is not found in the source data and must be determined by a person. I have tried to link the sheets through vlookups and other formulas, however, this only works when the data is sorted and nothing new is added. I need a static sheet that can take in new values. I need to create some sort of relationship between the cells
I have list of names of people in a billboards league. Directly to the right of everyone's name in the adjacent cell is their "win percentage". These percentages are sorted in descending order and I need the names to move along with the adjacent cell as the percentages change. When i merge the cells things get really messy.
I have a VBA code that pulls a value from a single cell on a separate tab. Instead of just pulling the value (ex. 3.44589348) is there a way to have it pull the value as a link to the other tab? It still would display the number but if you click on the cell it would display =Sheet2!A1 (for example).
How do I link two cells so that when I change one value the other changes and vice versa?
How about 3 cells?
Example:
Cells A1, A2 and A3 are all the same part number, but in diffrent catagories. If I used a part and reduce my number in A2 I want it to reflect the change in A1 and A3. The next day I use a part and reduce it in A1 and I want the new value to reflect in A2 and A3.
I can make it so A2 will equal A1, but if I was to update the value at A2 it overwrites the formula.
I am trying to link data from one workbook into another and get it to work but it puts in sample data or dates which I dont want. How can I set it up were the cells are blank until data is input in the main sheet and then linked to the destination sheet?
i am trying to get data from my original (vertical data) to copy to other group of cells (horizontal) without having to refer to every single cell to be copied. is there a way to get excel to do something like this: if b12=x then c12=next - but for 5 rows.
i am such a excel newb but i have asked some guys who say they know excel and i left them scratching their heads. i have all the data in i need in other sheets.
how to link cells such as one cell with a date and an adjacent cell with data so that while I am rearranging the data in various ways the date that corresponds with the data stays with it as it moves around while I am sorting the data.
Not long ago i received this code (from Dave Hawley... thanks!) for a single cell referencing an entire column of cells.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 5 Then Worksheets(2).Range("B1") = Target End Sub
...which worked great!
But I'm also using an Excel compatible handheld pocket PC version which does not support VBA. Sadly my options are very limited.
Is there an equivalent to typing " =Sheet1!A1 " in the formula bar, but that will allow for more than one cell, (or an entire column) to be referenced to a single cell?
I have a master tab that has data grouped as follows
Column 1 title of a section (written once then left blank for the rest of a section)
Column 2 numerous descriptors (each in a new row)
Column 3 The response to the descriptors in column 2
I want to link entire sections from column 2 and 3 into different excel files so that if I make changes to column 2 or 3 in the master tab, the changes are made to all tabs. If there is a way, I'd like it if I add a row to the master, it is automatically added to the others.
I am working on a resource model for my company. Essentially it is a list of contractors in the company with their daily rates and start and end dates. I have attached a sample spreadsheet. As you can see, all the information has already been populated with the cost of each contractor per month (formula used - daily rate*18.8 [days worked per month]). Now what I need to do is make the spreadsheet dynamic so if for some reason a contractor end date is changed (contract terminated earlier or contract has been extended) it needs to be reflected on the cost per month columns.
As an example, on the first row the contract period is from Dec 08 to June 09. If it is decided the contractor is now only needed until Feb 09, I need to have that automatically updated so all the figures are deleted in the March, April, May and June columns. Second example, on the first row if the contract period is from Dec 08 to June 09. If it is decided the contractor is now needed until July 09, I need to have that automatically updated with his monthly cost assuming the contractor has worked full time for that month (18.8 days).
I would like to link two cells which are in different workbooks / Files. Now this is something I already know how to do, however there is complication and I am not sure if the following is possible. I would like to link these cells so that they stay linked even if the file name of the source cell changes. I am not sure if thats possible or how to go about it if it is. This sort of thing is possible (although a different concept) in the Solid Modeling program Solidworks. Often times assemblies are created using a number of files. When the filename of one subcomponent is changed, or the file is relocated the final assembly will no longer work. So a method has been created to automatically update the link if the file is moved or renamed.
I would like to be able to do this in excel. ( I should note that I was only using Solidworks as a reference, it really has nothing to do with what I want out of excel, the data will not have anything to do with solidworks or its files, it will be simple numbers letters and formulas that I wish to link between workbooks)
I have seen alot of questions about linking max and min values of axis on charts to cell values. But what i need is the opposite. I have a graph that will automatically change its max and min values for the axis, but what i need is to be able to have a cell show what these values are, so basically the reverse of what people normally want.
I have multiple workbook files using the same template but saved under different files names usually by date. I need to summarize the data in a summary worksheet that pulls the same cells from the various individual closed workbooks. I need to be able to insert the file's path as an input to pulling data from a cell or cells.
Is there a way to get Excel to look down a column for a particular value and where that value appears hide the row it appears in?
We have a series of reports which all have the same template, however we don't want some customers to be able to see some of the products as these are own-label products for which aren't offered to everyone.
I'd like to add this as a macro to a combo-box so that the user can view a report for their customer and then send a copy to the customer with the knowledge they won't see anything we don't want them to...
I am trying to link a range of cells from one sheet that contain various dates to another sheet in the same workbook. Some of the cells are empty. I select the source cells (say, F8-F19), copy, select target worksheet, Paste Special (and select Paste Link button). Target cells display accurate date information that updates as source cells are changed, however, any source cells that were blank now read 1-Jan-04. I have checked to ensure that all source/target cells have the same formatting (Number-Date).
When trying to Paste Special values and/or number formats only, the option to Paste Link is no longer available. How can I link the cells so that blank source cells result in blank target cells? Issue seems similar to: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...worksheet.html
I’m having problems linking data from various worksheets to one master worksheet, all in the same workbook. The workbook contains swimmers PB’s (personal best times) for each stroke and after each gala the swimmers new time is entered onto the worksheet. The worksheet data is then sorted so that the fastest swimmer is at the top.
The master worksheet contains all swimmers by name (alphabetically) and their best times for each stroke, what I am trying to do is have the master worksheet update automatically when I enter the swimmers new PB’s in the individual stroke worksheets, this works when I use ’Paste Special’, but when I go to sort the data with the fastest swimmer at the top, the data in the master worksheet does not reflect the correct times.
