Absolute Cell Reference :: Alpha Characters To Increment
Nov 3, 2009
I've got a worksheet here that i need to update every week. The problem i'm having is that i have a table of values that's drawing values in from another larger table. For example in B9 the cell is referenceing the I2 cell in another sheet. When i pull down the formula in B9 i want the cell below to reference J2 and so on. In other words, I only want the alpha characters to increment. Tried messing around with dollar signs but it doesn't seem to be doing what i want.

I am currently using a color count function to both count by color and count by color and cells containing certain characters, such as # or %. This works great.
However, I need to modify the UDF to count all the cells in a range in columns C:Z that contain alpha, AND IF the Interior.ColorIndex of a cell in column B within the same row of the counting formula equals the Interior.ColorIndex of a cell in column B within the same row of the selected cell in the range.
Basically, Column B is a header row, and I want to count the cells in a range in each column C:Z if they contain a name AND their corresponding header cell's color in column B matches the color of the header cell in the row containing the formula.

I am creating a spreadsheet which creates a bulk of data from a front sheet.
The question is:
Is there a way to automatically copy a fixed formula for 100 cells using one fixed cell reference such as $A$1 and then automatically after 100 cells replace $A$1 with $A$2, after another 100 with $A$3 and so on?
Explanation with Example:
For example, Sheet1 contains the words "Green Tree" in Cell A1 and Sheet2 will then place "Green Tree" into 100 different sentences such as:
Plant a Green Tree
Grow a Green Tree today
This would be created with the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$1& " today"
After 100 different variations using the formula I want to change that formula to reference cell A2 on Sheet1.
I know if I place "Red Tree" in Cell A2 and use the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$2& " today" I can do this manually using find and replace for the 100 cells, but I want to do this for 100 different variations of Green Tree to create a 10,000 different sentences so I'd need to find and replace 100 times!

I have a log that I need to number starting in cell A1, as follows:
A-0001
A-0002
A-0003
etc.
I've put this formula in A2 to try an increment it by 1, but it just replicates the string in A1:
=LEFT(A1,3)&MID(A1,2,5)+1&RIGHT(A1,2)
with the proper syntax?...

I have an index of 80,000 names from an index. Some names appear in multiple volumes and on multiple pages within a volume. While the name is the same, they are different people. The Roman numeral is the volume and the numeric is the page number.
Example of original data: Joe Shmoe V-225, 310 VIII-22, 86, 110
I have separated the data into separate columns. Now I have:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6
Joe Shmoe V-225 310 VIII-22 86 110
At this point, I want to combine the Roman numeral in Col 2 with Col 3 and 4 and combine the Roman numeral in Col 4 with Col 5 and 6.
There are way too many records for me to manually enter the Roman numeral where missing.

I have created a simple UserForm to enter new customer details to the Customer List in the spreadsheet, form works fine except for one little thing, which is New Customer ID, which works, but only with numeric values like 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Basically what I need this for to do is once form is opened/called new customer ID need to be created, which could be and Alfa numerical set of characters like AA-01234, AA-01235, AA-01236 and so on.
Also, is there a way of posting newly added Customer ID in the MsgBox along with MsgBox "One record added to Customers List. New Customer ID is "
All of my attempts to create this are failing and causing errors.Here is my code, Customer ID is TextBox1.

I know how to turn a column reference in a structured data table into an absolute reference:
=Table1[A] becomes =Table1[[A]:[A]]
However, how to make a cell reference, like this one, absolute to that it still locks on this row, column A when I drag it across. I don't want to use copy & paste, as I have other cell references that i need to leave dynamic.
=Table1[[#This Row],[A]]
I've seen that @ can lock rows, but I don't seem to be able to lock an individual cell.

I am taking an online computer class and when i enter a formula (=c5/c11) and then press f4, to make the cell c11 absolute, this does not work. Instead it brings me the "Project" right side mini screen. Is there a way to program the f4 key to return absolute results?

How do I copy an absolute cell reference from say a1 to a2 -100 so that the row reference increments with each row. Without the absolute cell reference '$' it works Ok. But with it every cell is the same as a1?

I have a number in cell A2. I have hundreds of numbers (dividends) spanning across row 1. I want that number in A2 to be the divisor in my formular all across row 2.
In cell B2... if I type the formula "=B1/A2" i get the quotient I want. If I copy and paste this formula into cell C2 the divisor changes as well as the dividend. How can I "copy and paste" this so that the divisor stays the same and only the dividend is variable.

I have a workbook with many tabs and within those tabs there are many hyperlinks to other areas within the same workbook. When I add or delete lines or rows, the corresponding hyperlinks do not stay with the changed cell. Is there any way to make the cell reference in a hyperlink an absolute similar to how you do with a formula?

I have a spreadsheet that gets updated from the top. Is there any way for me to mod my formulae so that they always begin with the topmost cell (row 2 in this case, and in many columns) but still extend downward?
More practical example:
I have an Average formula in column X which (at the moment) averages X2:X75. I would like, even when adding new rows at the top (in the row 2 position) the forumla to not need to be manually extended with every new entry. So, if I add three more entrie4s, it will then average X2:X78. I tried all manner of absolutes.

I have read meanwhile dozends of articles and comments about absolute and relative cell references.
But I found nowhere an example on how to make a the column part of a cell reference variable and the row absolute.
Is
K$10
a valid expression?
In opposite to $K10 is must work this way

I have a workbook that contains a column, G, which includes a formula that calculates distances (based on lat, long coordinates) to a training site ("TS" going forward) from other sites within the same district as that TS. There are numerous TS's in the company, usually 1 per district (but some districts do not have a training site), and I am trying to find a way to change my distance formula that will automatically detect which site is a TS, and then calculate the distances of those other sites in that same district to their respective TS's.
As it stands, I have to manually change an absolute cell reference every time I encounter one of these TS locations in the file (designated by a "TS" in Col F), and rerun the distance formula down the column. I would hate to have to do this several hundred times.
Attached is a sample file. Again, Col G contains the formula for distance calculation, and you will notice that the absolute cell references change each time a TS is encountered -- I have been doing this manually. Additionally, I would be curious to know if there is a way to spot any Districts that lack a TS, as in District 493, and specify that in Col G.

Attached spreadsheet - the cell highlighted in yellow.
This is the formula I currently have, but it isn't giving me the results I am looking for:
=IF(TYPESVC="CompanyX", COUNT(Companies!I:I), " ")
Basically, IF the Companies tab, last column has 'CompanyX' written in it - then I want to count the number of responses provided in the Q2N column.
Same formula would be copied over to the other cells to the right as well (for Q5, Q6, Q7, etc.)

I have encountered some difficulty in modifying a macro I wrote into what I need. I created a macro that searches a column (Column C) for a cell value of, "stop", and then it copies everything above that cell and pastes it onto another sheet. In the sample data set that I was using, "stop" first occurred in cell C541, so the macro copies C1:C540 and pastes it onto another sheet. The problem is that the macro created an absolute reference to C540. What I desire is for the macro to use the 'Find' function to locate the first occurrence of, "stop", offset one cell above that cell, and then reference the active cell (which was positioned by these last two steps) in the range that should be copied. Basically, I'm hoping to have cells C1 through the active cell copied and then pasted onto another sheet.
Code below.
Sub FAIL()
'
' FAIL Macro
'
'
Sheets("Reformatted").Select
Columns("C:C").Select
Selection.Find(What:="stop", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _

I have columns and rows that are populated with one of three letters: P, S, & T. At the bottom of the column and at the end of the row, i'd like to assign a numeric score to the entire column/row that is based on converting the characters to a numeric eqivelant. P = 3, S = 2 and T = 1. I'm guess a case statement would be used, but not too sure here. So, I'd need the code behind the worksheet as well as the formula(s) used for the score. I've attached an example.

I have two sheets in my workbook, and I am trying to reference one chart's value into the other. (attached)
I have referenced successfully by manually typing in the reference on row 2 for all values on Sheet 1:
Sheet 1 - C2 needs to reference Sheet 2 - B2. (Sheet2!B2) - no problem all the way across to F2. All those values are correct b/c I manually typed in the reference.
The problem comes when I just want to drag over that same formula to increment for the other cells. It's not incrementing the formula like I need it to.
So, Sheet 1, Row 2 shows how the correct values I need to pull over but was done in a manual way. Sheet 1, Row 5 shows how it increments incorrectly when I try to just drag/copy the formula over. What I need is for Sheet 1 - D5 to reference Sheet 2 - C3, but instead if I try and drag to copy the formula instead of manually typing it in, it increments when I drag reference D2 instead of C3.

I've got 2 worksheets in the same workbook.
Sheet 1 contains huge amounts of data - thousands of rows and multiple columns
Sheet 2 - I want to extract the data from sheet 1 column A into sheet 2 column A but only the data from every 21st row.
I want to be able to copy the formula automatically down, otherwise it will take hours to do it manually. So far I can only get the cell reference to increment by 1 each time after copying.
So what I'm trying to achieve is :-
Sheet 2 A1 = Sheet 1 A1
Sheet 2 A2 = Sheet 1 A22
Sheet 2 A3 = Sheet 1 A43

Have a spreadsheet that contains a column of 3 digit numbers as well as 3 digit numbers with 2 trailing alpha characters.
Example:
376
377
421
376AB
376XY
377NC
421GQ
421EF
Need to sort by this column, but, with the parameter of sorting first by the numeric only, and then by numeric with alphas. So, the above list would look like this sorted properly:
376
376AB
376XY
377
377NC
421
421EF
421GQ

how I would go about referencing a cell on another worksheet to return only the last so many characters from the data in that cell. EG:
Sheet 1 cell A3 contains the number (stored as text) 12345678
Sheet 1 cell A4 contains the number (stored as text) 98765432
On Sheet 2 I want to put into cell B2 5678 (the last four characters from the data in Sheet 1 A3.) Also on Sheet 2 I want to put into cell B3 5432.

column headers are people in my department spread verticall goin down column A on my lead sheet. I am trying to report metrics for each person in their row.
I am trying to link the metrics for reporting from 5 seperate weekly batch reports that represent 5 tabs within the same workbook.
The problem is that I have the total information for each metic in column H of all 5 tabs, but all metrics for individuals are reported vertically. (H6, H7, H8, H9)
Thus how do I get the following: =SUM('Week 1'!H4)+('Week 2'!H4)+('Week 3'!H4)+('Week 4'!H4)+('Week 5'!H4)
To Equal: =SUM('Week 1'!H5)+('Week 2'!H5)+('Week 3'!H5)+('Week 4'!H5)+('Week 5'!H5) When I copy the formula across the row for each individual
My column to stay constant, but my row to increase by 1 as I fill the formula across my spreadsheet.

I am using name manager to identify variables in formulas in order that I can be consistent with calculations. The problem is each line item have different variable amounts. In other words if I am calculating cubic yards of concrete I used (Length*Width*Depth)/27. Line Item number one is (100*3*2)/27 based on my dimensions given. Line Item two may be (50*2*1)/27 based on different dimensions. The Name Manager has Length, Depth, etc. as absolute references. What I am trying to do is copy each formula down the sheet but each time I do the new line item always calculates from the reference cell in absolute mode. Is there a way to copy this formula all the way down the sheet so it will pick up the different dimensions keyed in each time using the Namae Manager Variables set up?
Line 1 (100 x 3 x 2)/27 = 22.22 Cubic Yards
Line 2 (50 x 3 x 1)/27 = 5.55 Cubic Yards

explain with an example.
Cell A1 =A2/MAX(A2:A5)
Cell A2 1
Cell A3 2
Cell A4 3
Cell A5 4
Cell A1 is 0.25 right? Right. Now insert a cell (or row) between cell A1 and A2. Then cell A1 changes to =A3/MAX(A3:A6). I don't want this to change. I still want to formula in A! to be =A2/MAX(A2:A5). I've tried using the "$" absolute character and I've tried using the absolute reference in the R1C1 reference style both to no avail.
