Automatically Fill In Links Name?
Mar 5, 2014
I have an Excel file which extracts data from other excel files (the other excel files are named 1.xls, 2.xls, 3.xls, etc.). So the formula in the cell is for example: ='C:[1.xls]Sheet1'!A1
Is there a way to let Excel fill in the next excel file address for the next cell? So that i would get this:
='C:[1.xls]Sheet1'!A1
='C:[2.xls]Sheet1'!A1
='C:[3.xls]Sheet1'!A1
='C:[4.xls]Sheet1'!A1
etc..
Because i have about 500 excel files, and otherwise i have to change the file number manually...

I have a dashboard (CW Dashboard.xlsx) that is linked to 3 main spreadsheets. In each main spreadsheet, there are 5 tabs. One tab contains raw data, the other 4 tabs contain tables: 2 tabs with formulas based on the raw data tab, and 2 tabs linked to 20 other spreadsheets (for now). I separated the raw data into 3 spreadsheets because Excel was calculating way slower than my patience would tolerate. All spreadsheets are Excel 2010. All spreadsheets reside on our network drive.
The links update as expected on the 2 tabs that are linked to the 20 different spreadsheets in each of the three main spreadsheets.The CW Dashboard does not update. I get #REF! in each cell (although when I click in the cell, the link shows no error). I am using VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP in this spreadsheet. I can of course open the source documents from within the Dashboard and the links then work as expected. However, I would prefer the eventual users of the Dashboard not have to open 4 s'sheets.

My links are not automatically updating on my worksheets. I was recently working on a sheet that linked to a different sheet in the same workbook. I deleted some cells by dragging other cells onto them, but when I went to the sheet that was linked to this sheet, the old information remained. When I clicked the cells that should have said "#Ref", they said =Sheet1!#REf but still had the old information showing until after I hit F9.

I'm working on a dashboard that shows some market developments. One of the problems is that I'm using linked pictures and a combo box to choose the appropriate graph, but sometimes the picture link returns a blank. Apparently this is a bug that can be fixed by running a macro that refreshes the picture link. Unfortunately I'm a real beginner with this kind of stuff.

I have a list of links in 1 excel worksheet. They are spaced every other row if it makes a difference. I need to create a macro that clicks on every link automatically. Each link is a direct file that I need downloaded every few months. I have no Macro experience beyond hitting record to automate basic tasks.

Doing Inventory on my excel sheet.
Every week I do inventory on my excel sheet, I have a link for every row and for the past months, I have been clicking through every link as I do my inventory. It's all fine and well until my inventory grew and now clicking through every link every week becomes frustrating.
I am looking for a code that when run will automatically open any hyperlink in column B if the value in column A is less than 0.

I have a workbook that links to four files. I would like to automatically update the links when the file is opened and if the linked files are not available, don't display a message.
I got the first part done using the Options menu in Excel but can't figure out how to suppress the message when the linked files are not available

I am linking to cells on a spreadsheet and in some cases the formula is showing in the cell and in others the contents of the linked cell. I have forced updating (F9 )and F2 enter with no effect. Is their something i am missing as I want all the links to update automatically. If I copy and paste a working formula into one of these cells it updates albeit with the wrong reference but if i go in and edit F2 etc then it shows as a formula.

I have an Excel 2003 workbook (named TargetWorkbook.xls) with some links to a CSV file called DataSource.csv. I use Excel 2007 to open the workbook. I checked the "Update links to other documents" option under the "When Calculating this workbook..." section on the Advanced pane of the Excel Options window. I unchecked the "Ask to update automatic links" option under the "General" section on the Advanced pane of the Excel Options window. I selected the "Don't display the alert and update links" option on the Startup Prompt dialog (accessed from the Edit Links dialog) I created a simple Auto_Open macro with the following statements:
Sub Auto_Open()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:ProjectsExcelTestDataSource.csv", ReadOnly:=True
Worksheets("DataSource").Activate
Workbooks("TargetWorkbook.xls").Activate
Windows("DataSource.csv").Visible = xlVeryHiidden
End Sub
The DataSource.csv file is updated daily. I want the cells of TargetWorkbook.xls to automatically update from the csv file when I open TargetWorkbooks.xls without displaying a prompt. I plan to deploy this workbook to a server and open it programatically via a Windows Service (I know, I know, Microsoft doesn't encourage this)and can't have it throwing up a user dialog.
Here is the problem: When I open TargetWorkbook.xls manually using Excel 2007, it updates the links but throws up the dialog "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated...". When I click on the "Edit Links..." button, it displays the message "Warning: Open source to update values". When I click the "Check status" button for this link, it says "Source is open". How do I prevent this dialog box from poping up? I've been wrestling with this for a few
days now and can't find a solution.

to illustrate I attached a spreadsheet.The spreadsheet contains 5 colunms.
1. Names
2-4. Numbers
5. Sum of numbers (the formula for the sum is only entered in the first row)
What I want to do is automatically fill in sums from the second to the last row. I was trying it with the "record macro" function but failed because I don't know how to jump to the last row. CRTL-Shift-down is not useful in this case.

I have a list of people on sheet 1, column A. The corresponding information for each person is listed across 5 columns in sheet B (cols A:E). **The row numbers are consistent throughout the sheets (ie. Joe is listed in Row 5 on sheet 1, and his name and info is listed in Row 5 cols A:E on sheet 2).
Name
June Sales
Sales Quota
YTD Sales
Total June Payout
Joe
$5000
$3000
$20,000
$4,000
Susan
$4500
$3500
$21,000
$4,000
What I want to do is to customize this weekly report for each person: Joe gets only HIS information emailed to him in a "template" that would be standard for each person (see below) -- the template would be the words in blue with the corresponding info, and this would be put directly into the BODY of the email
Name
June Sales
Sales Quota
YTD Sales
Total June Payout
Joe
$5000
$3000
$20,000
$4,000
This would be repeated for all people on the list (100+). I think I can figure out some email code, but it is getting the information into the SAME template for each person repeatedly (not sure how to write a loop for this including the template)

I'm trying to create an invoice with customer list, and the problem now is I'm trying to find a list-dependent data way to input my customer's address.
At the moment, all I can do is a dependent dropdowns from a sorted list (see method here). So it's kinda troublesome in such that my list (of customers) opens up a list for address that has only one option (since there's only one address for each customer).
I hope there's a method out there whereby I can have a list of customers, then select the customer I want, and the address of this particular customer will appear in another cell below automatically (without the need of selecting it in another list).
My address is actually split into three different cells - Address, Building & Postal Code.

I have created a spreadsheet that I must fill out daily. this worksheet has averages that must be automtically shared with a "master" worksheet.
for example
information from sheet2!b23
information from sheet3!b23
information from sheet4!b23
etc...
must automatically be transfered to
sheet1!c6
sheet1!c7
sheet1!c8
etc...
in that order
at this time I am typing in =sheet2!b23 on sheet1 everytime, I want to avoid this.
If you are asking yourself why? I dont blame you but it needs be this way so I can average each days spreadsheet.

I am trying to create a macro that will automatically fill in the days for a user if they fix the date. That is my end-goal, but obviously I have to take it step by step.
My first complication is how can I fill in all of the day rectangle boxes automatically? I was trying to create a macro for it, but it would only change the very first box. (You can see from my sheet, the days go 3 then 2)
After that I want to try and have constant-macro where if they change the month and the year it will automatically update the calendar for the user.

As I am a fresh user of excel 2007 I do not know how hard it is to solve the problem I am facing but hopefully there is a solution that the readers here are willing to share with me.
I have a list of **-s that I have recorded as a hobby with my friends (karaoke, free concerts...) and I have them coded in a specific way, so that I can find them on a shelve easily. The list is built up in a form that is seen on the example file that I added.
So far I have used my own handwriting and a sticker to label my ** boxes. Itīs not a very good looking combo to be honest. Since I already have all the data in my excel tabel it would be good to use excel to take all the things from there and just print it out.
How to do that? The front cover is easy, I used VLOOKUP function. All I have to do is enter a number into the column C1 and the front label gets filled.
The problem for me is the back cover that should take the right track nr, title and length from several rows (VLOOKUP uses only one row at a time)? How to make it work, that excel would know that on the first album there are 3 tracks and when chaging a number in C1 there would be 2 tracks on a second one.

I use a system which produces excel spreadsheets similar to this example (although much larger than this!). This makes it extremely difficult to carry out sorts and to tidy up the spreadsheet - generally I have to do this manually. I am hoping that there is a way that I can easily add in the data as per document 2 in red.

I'm wondering if it is possible to make a table where I can just enter the reference number and excel can fill up the remaining cells with data specific to the reference number from a website. What I mean is that I would like to put in company registration number and hopefully it will be able to pull in other data from companies house website about the company.

I am not sure of what is it called, but I would like to be able to start typing in a cell and it to start giving me options until there is only one.
Right now I have 9 dynamic lists with anywhere from 5-20 names per list and I have a report form with multiple data validated drop down lists each pulling from a separate dynamic list. This works ok, but as the user tabs to a cell with the drop down, they must use the mouse to initiate the drop down and then select the right data. Even if the user types the right data into the cell, it will not pass validation. Is there a way to start typing and it to keep throwing away things until only one option is available and then be able to use the tab button to enter that data into the cell and move to the next cell? Or as another option how hard would it be to activate the drop down when the cell is selected and then use the arrow keys to select the right one and tab to the next cell? I would want to be able to tab through the cell if no information was needed from that dynamic list.

I am trying to find a formula that will automatically fill in text that is entered in Sheet1 if it matches with a name in Sheet 2. I have found a formula that will enter a number but it will not work for text.
=SUMPRODUCT(Sheet 1!$C$3:$C$31,--(Sheet 2!$B$3:$B$31=$A15))
I would like the job on sheet 2 column B to fill in from what is listed next to their name on Sheet 1 column C, if the name of the person is entered on Sheet 2.
Sheet 1
NameJob1MaryFile2JohnLog3SallyIntake4PeterPack
Sheet 2

Any macro or a VB script to fill the numbers in between the "start" and "end" range . The only input that will be provided is the start and end of the range.
For example if the start = 100 000 and end = 100 010.
The output should be
100 000
100 001
100 002
100 003
100 004
100 005
100 006
100 007
100 008
100 009
100 010

How do you make the auto-fill to not automatically use the next numbered cell:
For example:
I want it to fill with every other cell from a different sheet (same column "D") so i would have a cell ='sheet1'$D10 or whatever then how would i do it so it will auto fill every other cell from then on so the first cell below the initial one would copy from the other sheet as D12 instead of D11?

What I would like to do is on a sheet when I insert a new row that it will "FILL" the formulas that are the row above it. For example I have cells A1-F1. On cell A1 there is 1, B1 there is 2...etc. When I then insert a new row I would like the row below A1-F1 to read. A2 = 2, B2=3 so it had a linear growth. I want to do this with my formulas so whenever someone adds a new line it knows to copy the formula as well but only in certain cells if possible.
