If I have a column of data with a defined name is there an easy way to update this as data is added? Can this be done when you open the workbook and without? I'd assume an open event could do it but I'm having problems finding a simle solution.
Knowing Excel adapts its formulas upon inserting a row (i.e. a sum formula will automatically include a new row inserted in the middle of its range). Is it possible to do this with a named range. I have a pivot table that serves as a table for a vlookup, but the table sometimes changes month to month with extra accounts. I need to be able to keep the formula even though the table changes, so I figured a named range would help me out but it still doesn't accomplish what I need it to do. So basically, is there a way to make the Named Range, say AGroup (A1:C5) extend to (A1:C7) if 2 new rows are added in?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI would like a defined name (1) in my excel document (A) to refer to another defined location (2) in an external document (B), which is a master document that will not move or be renamed. The main document (A) is one which will be copied to numerous locations within our company's network.
Therefore, I need the defined name (1) to have an absolute reference to the external document (B). At the moment I'm only able to get a relative reference, since Excel 'simplifies' the reference when both files are opened. Here is what I'm currently using: ='J:Invoice TemplateOffice list01 231106 List of offices.xls'!SiteNames

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Spreadsheet with five columns. The column headings begins in rows 3 and 4(merged), these are Reg.#, Rank, First Name, Last Name and Station respectively.
The 5 row is used as a filter row. Therefore my Data Range is from A6:E505. So far I have input some data up to row 25.
Problem: Each time I input data I have to sort manually, I need a VBA Code to paste to automatically sort by Last Name even as I continue to input data in the other rows.
I have a range of 9 cells located in A2 to A10. The name of this range should be whatever the text in cell A1 is.
The Problem is that the content of cell A1 can change since it is reflecting the content of another cell on a different sheet.
My probelm is that once i define the range to be named according A1 it will keep that name, even if the content of A1 changes.
How can i program in VBA that the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 always is whatever isthe text in A1 is? If Aq changes the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 should change as well; Plus the old name should be deleted.
I think it might work with some event trigger and then a automatic naming of a range. I tried a few things but nothing really worked. (not very exeprianced vit VBA)

I have a list of names in column A, and want to automatically create worksheets within this same workbook based on the list.
List of values:
Dairy NI
Dairy SI
Sheep and Beef
Equine
Sports Turf
Water Industry
Horticulture Services
Production Horticulture
Other Agriculture
Therefore, a macro or coding to automatically create 9 spreadsheets named as per this list.... My list is approximately 50+ hence inquiring if there is an easier way!
Is there a way to automatically create list of the Tab names, and have it automatically update when new tabs are added?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to use the VLOOKUP feature from the most latest files, I am using VLOOKUP in VBA code which is working fine, however the problem is that the files from where I do VLOOKUP are added randomly in a week.
Ex:
There are 2 Files, 1st File where the data would be looked up from the 2nd File, Now the 2nd File has names like this "Offline Data as on 10th May 14", "Offline Data as on 13th May 14", "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14", etc.
Now these files are send by another department, and each time the most recent data has to be searched from these files.. All of these files have to be maintained separately for record purposes.
Hence in the VLOOKUP, Lookup file keeps on changing...so is it possible to make a code in such a way that the code picks up the most recent file for reference, from the above example we would need to pull the data from the most latest file which is "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14" , if any other file is added in that folder more recent than the one mentioned than the code should automatically link it to that file.
I have managed to codify the lookup but due to this filenames being changed always I have to do this manually..as this has to be done at several columns in several sheets its extremely time-consuming.
So, logic code to pick the most recent date which is embedded in the filename...
I'm fairly new to using excel and have been trying to create a simple spreadsheet that keeps track of scores and automatically displays the names of the players in descending order. Anyway I have gotten to the point of using hookup to match a value and return that players name. But when two players have the same score it will only return the first found value. I sort the number scores using a LARGE function and it works great. Then I use something like this =HLOOKUP(Y2,B27:K28,2,FALSE) to match that value with the players name. How to return the other players name when the scores are the same?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a chart viewer on the first sheet of my spreadsheet and am using this website as a guideline, [URL] However instead of the 3 charts in the example, I have 12 which makes my formula for defining a name substantially longer.
By moving my charts to the same sheet and getting rid of the INDIRECT formulas, I shortened my formula to 291 characters which is too long as the limit is 255.

If Average GMV (Cell A1) is less than 75% of Average BP (Cell B1), use Average GMV, however the Average GMV or Average BP can't be less than $600 million. Multiply the result by .01*1/3. Below are two equations I've created, however each of them only solves one part of the problem.
=IF(A1<0.75*B1,A1*0.01*1/3,B1*0.01*1/3)
=IF(B1<600000000,(600000000)*0.01*1/3,B1*0.01*1/3)
Essentially Average BP would be used, unless Average BP was something like $900,000,000 and Average GMV was around $650,000,000. At this point Average GMV is 72% of Average BP and above the $600,000,000 minimum.

I am starting to write a macro and first thing i Need to define is all the columns that I need in my report. I started out by defining an array and this is what I have so far.
I need that every time I run this macro it should vlookup the data from cleantxt files that are saved in my c:autofile ReportsFC Banded Summary and essentially create separate excel files for different buyer names and save those sheets to my C:Banded Summaries with the name as Bandedsummary(todays Date)_BuyerName
This is going to be the bones of it then I have to figure out how to vlookup data for all the columns and do sumifs and format it.
This is what I have so far:
Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
IsInArray = (UBound(Filter(arr, stringToBeFound)) > -1)

Defining Cell Name when Dynamic?. Here is whare I am.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a piece of code I am using to important data from a text file. The code works fine but I am having a hard time understanding how defining a Variable "As New Collection" works. I have tried to research on numerous websites dedicated to excel but had no luck finding any further information.
I have executed the code line-by-line over-and-over and believe what the "new collection" does is it creates some type of external database that is hidden within excel (that's just my guess). I have attached a sample file and a text file with dummy data if needed to see how the code is working.
I tried to run this code and encountered an error telling me that N should be an object.
N has to be a variable number representing the amount of sheets in the workbook -2.
Does anyone know how this is written?
I've got a spreadsheet that could have 1 of 3 possible print ranges:
PR1 = B2:K67
PR2 = B2:K132
PR3 = B2:K197
If there is a value greater than "0" in Cell B68, the print area would be PR2, but if there is a value greater than "0" in Cell B133, the print area would be PR3, otherwise it would be PR1.
These print ranges are such that the page break would would be below B67 and B132, but I'm concerned that I may need to set these page breaks in the Macro.
I'm not sure how to use the IF, THEN, ELSE, in the Macro to test the value of the cell and then set the print area.
I'm trying to make ranges in a SumProduct formula dynamic, but getting errors #N/A. I think this is because the top two rows are headers, throwing off the range count.
Q. How do I adjust the range definition to compensate., e.g.
Range =Offset(Sheet1!$D$3,0,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),1) where column D is numeric, and
Range = Offset(Sheet1!$T$3,0,0,Match("*",Sheet1!$T:$T,-1),1) where column T is text?
I had assumed that the offset value 3 would do this, but I suspect the functions count and match are not doing so.

I'm trying to develop a work spreadsheet template that is to be summarised every fortnight. Our fortnights here go Thurs-Thurs. So I figured I would start with a base date (thurs - Sept 4th) and then have the spreadsheet display the true fortnight ending upon loading. Ultimately this fortnight ending will be used to copy and paste the template information into a summary spreadsheet but for now I am trying to get this intial part working. It's linked to a command button and my attempt at code is below:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Base As Date
Dim Now As Date
Dim Delta As Integer
Dim No_of_Fortnights!
Dim Rounded As Integer
Dim Fract!
Dim Fort_week_end As Date
(Note the following 8 lines are not the problem, they just open the main sheet. The problem is the eights lines starting with the word 'set')

Sheets("Technical Inquiry Form").Range("b3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()"
Sheets("Technical Inquiry Form").Range("b3").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _

I have to enter a 2D array by hand into code because I am doing it in PowerPoint VBA, but I can't find out how to enter a giant array manually.
I know I could do it like this:
MyArray(0,0) = 1
MyArray(1,0) = 2
MyArray(2,0) = 3
...
MyArray(99,99) = 10000
But obviously that would be a giant mess.
Couldn't I just define it like:
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...,99,100;
101,102,103,...,199,200;
...10000}
What the code does is that it runs in a Master workbook, and searches for XLS files in a defined folder. It opens a file, count, closes the workbook and takes the tallied number of sheets and places it in the master file, column A being File Names and column B as Number of sheets. What I need is for the code to take the file name from column A, run it and then place sheet counts in Column B and then move down the columns until all the counting is done. Currently I am only able to define one row using the range function and i'm at a loss.

Dim i As Variant
i = Array(37, 38, 41, 42)

I have a formula that looks like this:
=12*NETWORKDAYS(C2,D2)-12+IF(NETWORKDAYS(D2,D2),MEDIAN(MOD(D2,1)*24,6,18),18)-MEDIAN(NETWORKDAYS(C2,C2)*MOD(C2,1)*24,6,18)
This formula calculated the time between two dates (Start date in C2, End Date in C3) between the hours of 06:00 and 18:00 on weekdays. This is so I can work out how long an incident has spend within the group at the time when our service should be operating.
I was given this formula by someone on this forum a while back and i was new to excel and formulas so I just took it at face value since it worked. Now I want to disect it so I can use it in other situations where similar calculations are needed. I want to try to break it up into easier to understand chunks to try to understand what it is I need to change in order to do these related calculations.
NETWORKDAYS(D2,D2)
Is this trying to distinguish if D2 is a weekday?
MOD(D2,1)*24 Is this not the same as (1-D2)*24
NETWORKDAYS(C2,C2)*MOD(C2,1) Is this not the same as: IF(weekday(C2)>5,(C2-1)*7,0)
IF(NETWORKDAYS(D2,D2),....,....) What is the comparison here? if NETWORKDAYS(D2,D2) = 0 or 1?
Is this equivalent?
=12*(
NETWORKDAYS(C2,D2)-12
+IF(NETWORKDAYS(D2,D2),MEDIAN(MOD(D2,1)*24,6,18),18)
-MEDIAN(NETWORKDAYS(C2,C2)*MOD(C2,1)*24,6,18)
)
