Adjust Cell Value To Get Constant Value For Another Cell
Jul 31, 2014
I have cell C5 value set as 5*B5+3. Now, using vba,I would like to adjust the value of B5 (basically find it), so that the value of C5 is let's say 8.
In this easy example, one can find rapidly the correct value of B5 to be 1.
What I've tried is the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("B5").Value = -5
Do
Range("B5").Value = Range("B5").Value + 1
Loop Until Range("C5").Value = 8
End Sub
So, I am setting the initial guess for cell B5 and then increasing it by 1. However, if I set the increment to 0.5 instead of 1, program goes crazy and loop doesn't close.
What changes should I introduce to this code, so that even if the increment is 0.001 everything will work.

Say I have the number 325 in A1. Each time I type a number in A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, A3, B3, etc... I would like the number (325) in A1 to be reduced.
Also, how do I create a pull down list?

I need to convert a cell that has a list of values A1 = 1,2,3. To a range expression {1;2;3}. I want to do this with a formula and not VBA. Example: Cell D1 has the formula = SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(C30:C31,A30:A32),B30:B32). I want to put the list range from column C into one cell.
ABCD
110140
2203
3305
450
560

I need an equation that lets me determine whether a cell contains a static constant value (either a string or a number), or an equation that generates a value.
Problem: I have a cell that contains a default equation that generates a default value, depending on a few conditions. The user can overwrite this cell with a constant. In another cell I need to know whether that cell is still the default equation or a new constant value.
I cannot simply test the value of the contents to see if they match my default, because the user may choose to enter that value.

the way my spreadsheet's set up so far is that each employee should have a goal of, say, 100 for how many people they need to sign up. But they each have specific geographic breakdowns in their turf, some of which might be bigger or smaller than others, but at the end should all add up to 100 for each employee.
It's not super hard to do since I just take a goal of 100, in this example, and multiply it by the percent of population of the area in their overall assignment and give them a goal for that area based on that. So if Philadelphia has 70% of their total population, Upper Darby has 20% of their total population, and Phoenixville has 10% of their total population -- the goals would come out like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 70
Upper Darby, Goal: 20
Phoenixville, Goal: 10
Ryan, Total Goal: 100
For some of the employees, that works out perfectly -- but based on the population sizes, the rounding sometimes gets a little off and it could end up like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 71
Upper Darby, Goal: 19
Phoenixville, Goal: 11
Ryan, Total Goal: 101
For most employees, it ends up being dead-on 100 -- but there are some whose totals are at 98 or 99 or 101, and I was wondering if there was a way to force it to shave a point off or add a point on somewhere, pending on how close the decimal was when it rounded to make sure that it always ends up exactly on 100. (I'm using 'Data >> Subtotals' to get what's being represented above as "Ryan, Total Goal.")

I am creating on the fly an array (2 columns) in which the one row cell is mathematically derived from its neighbor (A left-hand cell). However, when the mathematically derived product exceeds a value, the row neighbor changes to another constant until its neighbor's product exceeds another value, etc. Can I create such an array without resorting to VBA?

I'm trying to set named range as a constant in VBA, to allow me to recall the same range as an output target in different subs, without having to 'set' it in each module. I have tried to declare it at the top of a module like this...
Public Const tpnb_range = Worksheets(" SQL").Range("tpnbs")
and get a "Compile Error : Constant expression required"

I have a template with formulas calculating a default value, but still allowing the user to override the cells with direct input.
I want to use conditional formatting to highlight any cells that have been overwritten, but can't find a way for Excel to differentiate between a cell with a formula or an inputted constant.
I realize there is a VBA "isFormula" function, but I don't want to have to use VBA for this.

I have a spreadsheet set up for my son to roll up D&D characters. There's a combo box to select Race and another for Class of character. What I now need to do is automatically insert the correct set of racial and class bonuses into the relevant squares.
The Combo box points to a list of Races on Sheet 0, in cells A3 to A12. The cell reference for this returns a value between 1 and 10 depending on race selected, i.e. 'Dragonborn' yields a 1, and 'Tiefling' yields a 10. Cells H3 to H12 contain the Strength modifier for the different races.
When I select for example a Dragonborn (1) in the combo box, I want the Strength Modifier cell to pick up the value from cell H3, and if i change the selection to Tiefling (10) I want the strength modifier cell to pick up from (obviously) cell H12
How do I use a variable in the cell reference to adjust the cell data is retrieved from?

I have been the code below in many a different form since royUK first helped me find a certain value and delete the entire row. I've used it to find values, text, multiple conditions and so on and so forth, but I cannot figure out how to compare the cell to the cell directly above.

way to get Excel to automatically expand the cell height when the text becomes to long to display. Is there something I am missing that will accomplish this, or do I need to write some VBA that will make the cell larger once the character limit that will fit on one row is exceeded?

I have a userForm (Form1) that contains a persons name that I would like to reference in a separate UserForm (Form2). In the separate UserForm (Form2) I need to reference this persons name many times, so I was wondering if there was a was to declare this name in the separate UserForm (Form2) as a constant. Only thing is that a constant, to the best of my knowledge, must be an expression and not a variable. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid declaring the myName variable in each Sub within Form2, which it will be needed for a ton of Sub's.
Code for Form2: Const myName As String = Form1.txtName.Value

I frequently have to copy information from one excel sheet and paste it into another. But when I do this the formatting doesn't carry over. So I have to go to each individual cell that I pasted into and adjust the size of it. How do I copy and paste so that the formatting/cell size is preserved?

I have build in the foreacasted numbers for the whole month but I need the formula to indicate the minimum error points needed to achieve the target of 90% for month end when I replace the forecasted numbers on a daily basis with actual numbers.
I have attached the spreadsheet which will be clearer.

In cell A1 exists data. In cell A2, I would like to test A1 to determine if A1 is a formula or a constant.
Examples:
=A9+3 would result "formula"
="1+3 would result "formula"
3 would result "constant"
'Blahblah would result "constant".

I have the code below that is two separate activities and I want to change the second activity from a cell trigger (Set KeyCells = Range("K42:AD42")) to a button trigger. I need to first to remain unchanged.
I'd be ok if this was just one macro that I could assign to a button but because its two and I need to write the second's to clicking a button I'm over my head.
Its occured to me while writing this that because it'll be a range of buttons I'll probably need to make each one an individual code? Is this the case? If so I may have to just keep this as it is.

what does the symbol # means in VBA? (but I couldn't put the # in the subject of my message )
I'm trying to understand someone's code... at some point he wrote:
sum_LU_Area = 0#
I thought that the # was used to declare a constant but I'm not too sure because in his code earlier he declared
Public sum_LU_Area As Double
Beside, sum_LU_Area is calculated somewhere further in the program.

A1 = Power(C1,B1)
A2 = Power(C2, B1)
A3 = Power(C3, B1)
....
An = Power(Cn, B1)
How can I increment column C while keeping B constant at B1 by using right-bottom mouse pointer dragging on column A? Or is there another way?

If I have a formula that I want to copy throughout a column, but I want to keep one of the parts of the formula constant, is there a short way to do this?
For example:
First cell is A1*O24
Second Cell is A2*O24
Third Cell is A3*O24
Right now when I try to copy the formulas, the second cell always reverts to A2*O25, which is not correct.

Code:
Const Books1 = Array("5638", "5639", "10984")
Const Books2 = Array("3140", "7509", "3050", "7549", "7508", "7032", "6770", "6773", "4388", "6460")
I want to set an array as above for multiple use in my code (Used for auto-filtering various data with the same criteria).
The above is not allowed it seems, is there an alternative method so that if my Constant changes I only need to amend this once.

I've never had to venture into Arrays as there was no need.
I'm now faced with Arrays.
Generally I'm able to figure things out, in this case I'm stumped.
What I have is a Constant Array, that output the amount of Rows the Array displayed in.
I know the information is there, what I don't know is how to extend the rows.
ie it Outputs 5 Rows right now, with a top row header.
What I want is 10 rows with a header.

I want to basically set a varible that can be called back into a multiple of documents I will try and explain this as best as I can but it is a fortnightly pay date... i.e. 22/04/2009 Wednesday... as the payroll is fortnightly I want to be able to use the current date or todays date in a future proof macro.
i.e. if todays date is the 14/04/09 then the next pay date has to be the 22/04/09, if this was run in two weeks it would be 06/05/2009.
I was thinking a long the lines of lock in one start date... 14/01/09, then adding increments of 14 days until todays date - variable + 14 * r = "-"
