Applying Formula To Entire Column Without Lengthening Spreadsheet?
Jul 29, 2014
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a formula applied to an entire column without adding unnecessary length to the spreadsheet until someone is actually scrolling down and using more rows. I want formulas to be constantly present in two columns to automatically calculate values as they are entered into other cells in the same row, but ideally without the otherwise empty spreadsheet being X amount of rows long.
I initially had the formula dragged down 15,000 rows, but it would really be much better if it could start out as a smaller size and then expand as the user requires.
For simplicity, let's assume I have three columns, "Company," "Policy," and "Balance."
Example: Company A Life $1 Company A Med $2 Company A Dent $3 Company A Disab $4 Company B Life $9 Company B Med $5 Company B Dent $7 Company B Disab $2
According to my post preview, the columns are running together, but I do have it arranged in three distinct columns. What I want to do is program a macro to do the following:
Every time the name of the company changes, I want Excel to insert two rows after the last of the group, and have a summation of the "Balance" column in the first inserted row.
This is what it should look like:
Company A Life $1 Company A Med $2 Company A Dent $3 Company A Disab $4 $10 <- (this should be directly under the $4, but I'm not good with forum languages)
Company B Life $9 Company B Med $5 Company B Dent $7 Company B Disab $2 $23 <- (same with this - should be directly under the $4)
I have an excel sheet where I do a simple price-discount calculation for a product. Please check the file at:
Code: [URL] ........
A2 shows the price, B2 shows the discount and C1-L1 shows the number of units sold. C2-L2 is where I want to calculate the earnings based on the formula I have in C2. I want to apply the same formula to the entire row so that I can quickly see the earning for any number of units sold.
how do I apply a formula I entered into one cell to all the cells in that column, without going through the tedious process of typing the formula in again in each cell ? I've done it before but don't remember how.
I insert a button in spreadsheet, when I click this button a userform appears with place to input value. I would like to check the entire column (maybe < 100 rows), if there is number exceed the input, then disply that ROW in another sheet.
I've applied a basic multiplication formula =D12*E12 in a table Column F, also I've filled it throughout but now if new rows are inserted in between or at the end of the table, new cells in this columns doesn't include this formula.
I'm trying to autofill a series of rows (that are blank) with data from an above row. I want to autofill the row in its entirety, not just filling in blank cells.
For instance (assuming comma is a new column). Colors listed are just a data example. Space between commas indicates a blank cell:
So rather than it just completing the task in one desired cell, it would complete the task over the entire spreadsheet. Data spread can be as far as row 500 and column BY, so you can see how a copy + paste or a drag would get monotonous.
Workbook 1 has 2 spreadsheets. Spreadsheet 1 contains Item and Pass/Fail Columns. under the item column is the serial number of the item tested. the Pass/fail column has the serial number duplicated if it failed tested. what is the formula is to have spreadsheet 2 pick the items from the pass/fail column on spreadsheet 1?
I'm inserting new information at the top of my worksheet. Unfortunately the formula for what WAS row one: =SUMIF(TotalSales!$B:$B,A1,TotalSales!$H:$H) Will no longer work for row one because as more date is collected row 1 shifts down to row 2. Row two still looks good but there is no longer a formula for the new rows inserted.
To be clearer... I would like to have the following: =SUMIF(TotalSales!$B:$B,A1,TotalSales!$H:$H) in cell B1 =SUMIF(TotalSales!$B:$B,A2,TotalSales!$H:$H) in cell B2 =SUMIF(TotalSales!$B:$B,A3,TotalSales!$H:$H) in cell B3
How can I keep that formula in row one as I keep inserting new rows?
I want to copy a D1-C1 formula all the way down column E. If I don't have any data in column D1 and C1, however, I don't want anything to appear in Column E.
Is there a way to hide the formula once I have built it for the all of Column E? The reason I need this to happen is because I can't have any zeros popping up in Column E, because I am calculating a running average of Column E and "zero" values would throw off my average.
I need the Row values to change, not the "array formula parts" (because I don't know what they really are called). So, as I copy down I need the new formula to read:
I am trying to add a formula to a defined column in a a table. I get a method range of object error. I previously used the .value and a for loop to enter the forumlas into each cell but I would like to use a different approach. It's basically looking at the compelted column to see if the check box is checked. Here's my code.
Set ntidRange = Application.Range(tn & "[NTID]") Set dtRange = Application.Range(tn & "[Date]") Range(ntidRange).formula = "=IF([@COMPLETED]=TRUE,Login!K2,"""")" Range(dtRange).formula = "=IF([@COMPLETED]=TRUE,Now(),"""")" 'For Each c In ntidRange.Cells 'c.formula = "=IF([@COMPLETED]=TRUE,Login!K2,"""")" 'c.Offset(0, 1).formula = "=IF([@COMPLETED]=TRUE,Now(),"""")" 'Next
Hello, below is a sample of my excel sheet. The number of rows keep changing daily and the Month and year column has to be populated automatically as and when there is a new row inserted. I tried the formula =MONTH(A:A) and I paste it on the entire column. it works for rows with data but I also get 104,000 odd blank rows added to my excel because I pasted the formula on the entire column.
way to put a simple formula in a colum that will apply to the entire column, no matter how many rows without having to physically copy it to the number of rows required?
I work in a factory where we create different types of units daily. Below is a list of planned production on a specific date, say today's date. This is a very crude example, with information missing, and it is important to know that there are conditions attached such as:
The types are added randomly. The amount of types is much greater meaning that each type is on it's own page with breaks between. Everything produced on this date will have a URN (unique reference number) with its first 6 digits equating to yy-mm-dd and the last two being the position of the unit in the production sequence (first=01, second=02 etc).
I have gotten it to the point where if you enter them in sequence (Type A first for example) it will lookup to see the last assigned URN and taking the quantity into account issue the correct URNs.
The issues I have are when the URNs are less than "10", there is a problem displaying the 0 before the digit which disrupts the sequence. I can provide more clear examples if required.

I'm trying to sort a spreadsheet that has 6 columns with 36 rows total. I want to alphabetize the entire spreadsheet, from A1 to F36 so that A1 is the first of the alphabet and F36 is the last. When I select all the data on the spreadsheet and click sort by ascending, it sorts the columns within themselves instead of within each other.
I've got spreadsheet I use to control the inventory of my user equipment; who has it, what is it, where is it, etc.
I'd like to "lock" multiple consecutive cells of each row so that they never seperate. This is because they need to be together. However, periodically, I need to move, sort, or rearrange the sheet.
Is there a way I can "idiot proof" this so that these cells never come unlocked from each other?
There is no vba involved (primarily because I don't know how), and no other scripting either.
So right now I have a formula that I'm using in column "C":
=IF(B4="","",IF(AND(B4=22),"IN RANGE","OUT OF RANGE"))
So basically column C tells you if the number in the B column in within the range of 22-30. Now I want to write the formula in column D and make it apply to columns B and C.
So cells in columns B and C will have a number value in it and I will make column D where the formula is. There will be a number in B or C, but never at the same time. I can't figure out how to alter the formula to do this.
I am having trouble with the final formula for this spreadsheet.
I want to be able to select "Holiday/Sunday" from the drop down men in column H, and have it multiply the total in column F by 2. There is already a formula in column F that sums column E-D.
I have a dropdown box containing text strings. How can I use the selection from a combo box as part of a formula?
So for example I have a spreadsheet that is set up using a search term 'media', I want to select something else from the list e.g 'arts' and I want all of the references to 'media' to turn into 'arts' in the formulas. Kind of like a mass find and replace.
Supposing you would like to find the median of numbers in column D, but only for rows that have the word "Jones" in column A? Is there a way to do this? Obviously I know I could do a sort and simply specify the range myself, but we're dealing with nearly 2000 rows and a LOT of different values in column A
It occurs to me that it would be even better if I could ask excel, in effect, to identify every separate text string in column a and then find the median of the corresponding numbers in column D. In other words I wouldn't have to type any strings from column A at all.
I have a formula that I wrote in B2 and then applied vertically to a large list of rows (100+). I applied it vertically by simply double-clicking the cell with the formula, and it cleanly applied the formula to every row in Column B.
This formula now needs to be applied horizonally across columns, for each respective row. I need a way to do this in one swoop, as it would be very time consuming to manually drag each cell in column B.
I've attached a sample spreadsheet with a simple formula just for the sake of an example.
I'm putting together an Environment Threat Assessment for work and want to automate as much of it as I can to alleviate the amount of time ppl have to spend putting values in. My main problem is I have three very important columns: Likelihood, Success Rating and Risk Rating. Likelihood and Success Rating values will be selected from the following:
VL - Very Low L - Low M - Medium H - High VH - Very High Each of these is given a value: VL = 1, L = 2, M = 3, H = 4, VH = 5. The Risk Rating is the result of multiplying the Likelihood and Success Rating. So a Likelihood of Medium and a Success Rating of Low will give a Risk Rating of 6. Therefore, the cells on my spreadsheet would look like this:
Likelihood Success Rating Risk Rating M L 6 The issue is I want a couple of things to occur. Firstly I want keep the values in my Likelihood and Success Rating cells as letters (ie. VL, H, VH etc) rather than numbers, while still generating a number result in the Risk Rating cells. Secondly I'd like to be able to change the colour of the Risk Rating cell to reflect the number it gets assigned. For example Green for < 8, Amber for 9 – 14 and Red for 15 – 25. I've been trying to do this with array formulas and am basically going around in circles with no success.
I am working on a spreadsheet which has a column which shows square footages (Column AE) and I also have a column which shows costs (Column Y).
What I would like to do is to bracket these footages in to 6 bands (0 - 5000, 5000 - 10000, 10000 - 15000, 15000 - 20000, 20000 - 25000, 25000+) and then average the costs within a particular band.
I'm new to creating macros and trying to create a macro that will perform a formula that I can use for multiple files. However the files are a varying number of rows.
I want the formula to carry out on the entire column (all rows). However when I record the macro (I tried using relative and also tried using absolute references when filling the formula) the formula always seems to stop filling wherever my original file's rows stopped. I wrote the formula for the first row and double clicked it to fill the remaining rows.
For example if the macro I recorded in File 1 goes to row 15, when I run the macro on File 2 which is 20 rows, the formula stops filling at row 15.
