Is there any way to directly go to a formula? Instead of searching it through all the sheets? For example, if I have a formula =SUM(Sheet1!A1:A5) is there any way for me to automatically go to the source?
View 7 RepliesIt might be very simple, but all I need is if I have data on A1, and i have 3 check boxes labeled: NEW, EXISTING, and ARCHIVED. I want it to automatically check the corresponding boxes. So if "NEW" is typed under A1, it'll check "NEW" box. "EXISTING" will check "EXISTING" check box and so on.

1. Table
2. Raw / Source data.
I have entered all the formulas into my table (sheet 1) referenced to the source data but I want to upadate the source data regularly but when I delete sheet 2 all the formulas come up with #Ref error. how i can update my source data so my table automatically updates
How or if it is even possible to have a table automatically adjust its range or the number or rows it has based on another table
I have two tables:
Table1 is raw data that is added two daily
Table2 has formulas with column header references to Table1 that processes the information and converts it to a readable format. (basically barcodes to words)
Is there a way to get Table2 to automatically resize to the same number of rows that Table1 has whenever data is added??
I am looking to have the Cells that I have applied a Dropdown List to update with the changes that I make to the list itself.
Example:
If I were to validate a list with a range of a1:a3 using "Bob" "Sarah" "Bill" and then apply that list to B:B and randomly select from the three names running the length of B:B, I would want that when I go back to A2 and change "Sarah" to "Linda" that every "Sarah" that I have selected using the drop down will update to say "Linda"
I hope that I am explaining myself clearly and in a simple context.
Is there a way to make a chart adjust automatically when you add to the source data? I'm trying to use a named range in order to power a chart (something like chart_data=offset(a1,,, counta(a:a),counta(1:1)); the range is working fine). When I put "chart_data" into the source field for the chart, it seems to work fine; it picks up the right range... But when I later add more data, the chart source data field seems to have converted my named range into a hard-coded range, absolute range. So the dynamical named range updates, but the chart doesn't and I don't see the new data. Am I doing something wrong that I need to tweak? Does what I'm trying to do just not work? Is there another way to make the chart pick up the new data without adjusting the range?

However, there are times when I need to print the worksheet on different paper which requires me to go into the properties and change the paper source from Automatically Select to Manual Feed. I have been trying to created a macro what will switch to Manual Feed, print the worksheet and then switch back to Automatically Select but have been unsucessfull.

I am currently pulling in all cells from various worksheets, into a specific tabs in a workbook. Each source is pulled into a seperate tab such as Workbook A is pulled into tab Company A using the following formula which works fine.
Code:
"Path[Workbook.xls]Worksheet!ReferenceCell"
Note: This is done due to the use of indirect in the next formula and its inability to work on closed workbooks. Within a summary tab, I am then pulling in specific fields from each of the aforementioned worksheets using the following formula
Code:
=IF(OR(M$220="",M$218=""),"",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B223,INDIRECT
("'"&M$217&"'!"&M$220),COLUMNS(INDIRECT(M$220)),FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP
($B223,INDIRECT("'"&M$217&"'!"&M$220),COLUMNS(INDIRECT
(M$220)),FALSE)+M$222))
M217 - Worksheet Name
M218 - Worksheet Date
M220 - Worksheet Range
M222 - Additional Fee
B223 - Lookup Value
The issue is that one company out of 14 pulls into this workbook (using the first code) just fine with all values visible, but ONLY when the source file is open. Even if I manually update the link, the values do not change.
Is there a setting or something to check, maybe in the source workbook? I have ensured that automatic updates for links is on and there are no macros in the source workbook.
I've a set of excel sheets reading from a single excel data source, the only problem is that the data source is constantly changing, for example:
=DCOUNT('T:GreenbeltProductivity ToolWeek 42[Dept Overall and Data Entry.xls]Insert Data - Current Position'!A:F,5,AC139:AD140)
The week number is the only bit of the code that needs to change week on week, to update the data source on all the sheets and I'd like to password protect the data source.
I'm compiling statistics from a number of separate workbooks. When I (or more to the point - one of my staff) open the Stats Workbook the formulas show #VALUE unless the other Workbooks are opened. I want the Stats to calculate without the user having to open the other workbooks as most users won't know which ones to open.
I could generate VBA code when the workbook opens to also open the other ones but wondered if there was another solution.

However, when I use the IF statement in the data validation Source box, it invalidates the fact that you can only choose from the list. In other words, the user can now enter anything.
I have 2 sheets, lets say SheetA1 and SheetA2. I am using Vlookup to serial number & getting data from SheetA1 to SheetA2. But I want to modifty the data. If i modify the data in SheetA2 that modification should relect in SheetA1. Is it possible...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to copy a formula in B38, down to B36
My formula needs to refer to data in of cells in a horizontal succession, G1, H1,, I1...etc
Copying my formula down from B38 causes the formula to refer to G1, then G2, G3... instead of G1, H1, I1 ...
The exact formula in B38 is: =$B$3*(G3*(1-$D$13))
Where G3 should advance to H3, when I drag to copy the formula from B38 to B39. Instead, G3 advances to G4.
I am linking two worksheets together. Formulas work fine except when I close the source sheet, it turnes into #REF error. I saw in one of the posts that you can not use INDIRECT formula on closed workbooks (INDIRECT is a part of the formula in my sheet) and downloaded the changingExternal. zip file as directed. Although, after staring at it for a while, I realized that I had no idea as to what was going on in there.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to monitor the status of a cell on another sheet and autopopulate a cell depending on that information. The formula works well until I give the spreadsheet to a 3rd party and the formula ranges change after they paste new data to the source sheet. I have tried locking and password the formula cells but they change range regardless!
Here is the formula from the first cell.
[Code] ......
It scans for a number in an adjacent cell. If the number is present on the sheet 'Test', it autopopulates the cell with a string from the source sheet. The cell remains blank until there is data present.
If I cut data from row 6 and paste it to row 17, the formula cahnges itself to:
[Code] ........
How I can lock down this formula so that the ranges remain the same i.e. $AT$6:$AT$26, despite changes on the source sheet? I have tried F4 to toggle relative and absolute references and this has made no difference.
I have tried numerous versions of macros I found. Most get the same error of; Range object error or script error.
Here is the formula: VLOOKUP(C$13,VESSELS_DATA,ROW(30:30)-12)
What I would like to do:
1) double click to on the cell with the formula
2) goto the worksheet "DATA_TABLES" that contains the Named Range "VESSELS_DATA"
3) go down the rows until the c13 is matched
4) offset column the same as in the above formula "Row(30:30)-12"
I have a formula in cell A1 that I need to drag downwards so that it fills cells A2 to A10. That formula is picking up the figures located in another sheet but the figures on that sheet are arranged horizontally (A1 to J1). Is there a formula to perform this action? I've tried playing around with the $ sign in my formulas but it does not work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,

I'm looking for a formula or criteria within a formula to prevent a cell from recalculating or just causing it to revert to a value if another cell becomes populated. Something like =IF(NOT(ISBLANK(xx)),STOPCALC(xx),...
I'm trying to determine some weighted week to week projections and I want to be able to determine the accuracy of the projections without them being influenced by the actuals once they show up (the projections use historical actuals and related data which are all in the same range where the futures will come in). Also hoping for a shortcut to do what I described without having to manually go in and stop the (thousands of) cells from recalculating since the actuals for a given periodicity arrive staggered and not at one specific time.
I’m working on quite huge spreadsheets. The same formula will be used on more than 30 sheets.
So far if I have to change the formula in one cell I have to go to each sheet and change it manually (which is quite boring and time consuming).
I’m wondering if it’s possible to reference all the formulas on the sheet to one sheet (which some kind of a master sheet with all the formulas).
I can copy the formula with the “Past Special” function but the function is not updating if I change the formula on the main sheet.
So is it possible to link it and that it’ll be updated automatically when I’m changing the formula on the main sheet?
my destination cells will have formulas like:
='E:My WorkTestData[CCC.xlsx]Input'!$S$31
Everything works fine. But I don't want the destination cells to display the full formula, but the actual Value only
I thought of a way to build a script that first builds the formula to one cell then Copy Paste Special value of that Cell to my desired Cell.
But when the code runs The cursor moves back and forth all the time...
Source tab contains vital information about some clients.
In the aggregated tab (Cell C10) I created a formula that pulls the Inflows from the source in a very specific array. So for client 1, this works fine. Now, if i copy my formula to the client 2 (Cell C14), it obviously wont go and look in the correct array in my source.
What i need to do is to be able to copy/paste my formula
[Code].....
(from cells C10 to CC10) to cells C14 to CC14, but when copied, the look up array changes to:
Formula: [Code] ....
I will have to fill this formula to at least 100 entries down, so i need to make it work with ease
The good thing is that all look up values in the source increase by a fixed number of rows (12). I tried playing with index/rows formula.. no luck..

I am working with multiple workbooks with several tabs in each one. I need the forumula to update the "sheet name" from the source workbook even if the destination workbook is closed.
this is a portion of the forumula I am working with:
=SUM(IF(AND([L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4>=182,[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet26!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet27!$I$4
How do I stop my sum formula from adding to it's range every time I type a number in? I have 12 columns of numbers by date and 4 quarter columns at the end totaling each of the 4 quarters. If I start typing directly across, the 1st quarter sum formula updates to include every number in the first 12 columns. The other quarter column sum totals stay the same.

My issue is it automatically updates.
I have 4 collumns:
Location//S-1//CSM//SCO
I want to enter in the location in a drop down list, which I know how to do. The thing I'm trying to do is when the Location says To S-1 for example, the date that it is changed "To S-1" the collumn under S-1 will post the date. When location changes to CSM, it will put that day in that collumn, etc.
My issue is that if I use the NOW() or TODAY() function in an IF() then it will update evertime I reopen the file. So the dates won't stay fixed. So if I change the Location to S-1 on the 12th, open it again on the 13th... it will say the 13th not the 12th.
I have information been imported from another spread sheet into cell C1. but it will only display if i put data in to cell A1.
BUT, when i want to put data in A2, i want C2 to gather to formula info automatically.. I could drag it all down the screen but i dont want #N/A to be all over the page. Is there anyway i can get the formulas in the cells, without the #N/A all over it.
What can i do?
Would someone be so kind as to look at the attcahed sheet. There are boxes with data entered. Depending on the achievement the 3 parties are automatically ranked 1,2 or 3 as you can see.
All except for cells j23:j25, although I've used exactly the same formula as the other boxes, the ranking doesn't seem to work for some reason I cannoot fathom.
I know there is an issue with merging, but all the others work and are merged (to get them to work I created the formula before merging).
