Automatically Number An Index Column
Oct 24, 2005
I am working with a group of individuals that will be passing around an
excel spreadsheet to one another, and wanted to come up with a way to have
the 1st column act as an index, with the key component requiring that the
index column would automatically re-number itself, if someone entered a new
row.
A typical value in the first column looks like this: 8-5-012-005
Which in our case means that there are 4 series of number sets, separated by
dashes. So the first set is 8, the second 5, the third 012, and the fourth
005. The available range for the sets are 7 or 8 for the first, 5 through 9
for the second, and 0 through 130, and 0 through 200, respectively.
So the user can pick any of these ranges for when they decide to create a
new record (row).
Here is the way the spreadsheet columns currently look (always sorted by
Tract_ID):
Row-1 Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 7-5-112-005 01245787
Row-4 8-5-012-005 01245787
Row-5 8-6-030-125 01245787
Now, here is the way I'd like to have the spreadsheet columns look with the
Index_No (can be either Numeric or Text - depending on your recomendations).
The sort order is based on 1st, the index number, then 2nd the Tract_ID:
Row-1 Index_No Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 1 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 2 7-5-112-005 0126A560
Row-4 3 8-5-012-005 01005147
Row-5 4 8-6-030-125 01000541
Then, let's say the user wants to enter a new value like say, 7-5-105-021.
That value would need to go between Row-1 and Row-2, which, if they just
inserted the value in the row of their choice, would screw up the indexing.
What I need is a way to ALWAYS create an index (automatically), no matter
where they decide to put the value in the spreadsheet, AND it would update
all of the other Indexes as well (very important requirement).
So the end result would be this:
Row-1 Index_No Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 1 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 2 7-5-105-021 00547419
Row-4 3 7-5-112-005 5126A560
Row-5 5 8-5-012-005 00005147
Row-6 5 8-6-030-125 00001541

I am doing a hlookup on a range (possibly over 100 rows). My formula is working but my problem is that it takes too much time to go and manually edit the formula to change the row index number and increase it by one. For example the row index number has to change in order to pull in the right data....eg 5,6,7,8 etc up to over 100. Is there a quick way to do this or do I have to manually enter the row index numbers in over 100 rows?
I am attaching a SAMPLE of data. The actual worksheet is much more larger.

Is there a way to automatically change the column index number in the VLOOKUP formula when copying the formula to columns? For example, when I copy a VLOOKUP formula from column A to column B, the cell references will change, but the column index remains the same. I'd like the column index to be increased by 1.

I have a database with over 100 products listed across the first row.
Column a has a list of over 500 projects. Across each project various columns are marked with a number depending on how many of each products are being used on that project.
For Example
A B C D E etc.
Products --> X Y Z AA
Proj 1 2 3
Proj 2 1 4 5
Proj 3 2 4
etc.
I want to be able to create a report for any given product.
The report could look like,
Product Z
Proj 1 3
Proj 3 2
So I need to lookup the product code across row 1 and determine the column number and then INDEX down that column and find all non blank cells and read the project names from column A.
I am familiar with formulas with INDEX and V/H LOOKUP functions. I am not very good with VBA codes.

I have previously been using the equations such as :
[Code] .........
Where AWH is the column of interest and $B$12 returns the last row of my workbook.
I want to be able to use an indirect in this in order to specify which column to count by inputting a column reference in a cell.
I attempted the equation to use indirect but it returns #REF.

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.

Following is a summarized example of my data and what I am trying to accomplish.
[Column A] contains a list of account numbers. [Column B] contains current balances, [column C] contains balances from one month ago, [column D] contains balances from two months ago. Within the same spreadsheet I want the ability to type in the account number in one cell and then the column number in another cell. For example, If I type in the account number 1234 and the column number 3, I would get the balance from [column c]...if I typed in the column number 4, I would get the balance from [column D].
My first thought was to use a simple SUMIF formula that would compare the account number I type with the account numbers found in [column A]. The problem is getting a formula that can translate the number 3 to [column C] or the number 4 to [column D]. Note: the actual spreadsheet I am using extends out to column BI.
This is simuilar to the Column Index Number used in a VLOOKUP formula.

I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?

The below piece of code carries out a vlookup on a defined cells value and produces a result in sheet one, however if the column index number in sheet 2 (Database) is empty the result 00/01/1900 is produced.
I'm not sure how to say leave the result blank if the column index number is blank.
Excel 2010
Userform = Tab 1
Database = Tab 2

I have created a sales pipeline list in a workbook. One of the sheets ("Contacted potentials") has the following setup:
A---------------------B---------------C----------------D
Company name--------Location--------Probability--------Total company sales
Rows 1, 2 and 3 have other information. The actual list starts at the 4th row.
In another worksheet ("Overview"), I want to create a list of companies that have agreed on working with us (displayed by a probability of 100%). This should preferably be done in column A. Furthermore, column B should list the total company sales for that specific company. I have tried this myself using INDEX and MATCH formulas, by using the following formula:
=INDEX('Contacted potentials'!$A$4:$A$1000,MATCH(100%,'Contacted potentials'!$C$4:$C$1000,0))
But this only displays one of the companies, not all those which have a probability of 100%.
Ps. it is possible to automatically update this list (by pressing F9) when a company's status changes to 100%?

I am trying to use a nested INDEX and MATCH array formula to return the value in column C when matching column A and column B, but with a few more criteria.
The range containing all the data
A
B
C
1
Cat 1
January 1, 2014
John
[Code] ..........
I am looking for the array formula to return the name of the person in column C who is in Cat 1 after the date in column B.
For example;
C7 should return "John" because B7 requests "January 15, 2014", which is after the value in B1
C8 should return "John" because B8 requests "February 15, 2014", which is after the value in B1
C9 should return "Andrew" because B9 requests "August 15, 2014", which is after the value in B4
The best try I had for the formula in C7 was
{(INDEX($A$1:$C$4,MATCH(1,($B$1:$B$4>=B7)*(A$1:$A$4=A7),0),3))}
This brings back "John" as desired in C7, but when copying down the table into C8 and C9 both C8 and C9 return Andrew.
I guess this is due to my ">=" condition in the Match formula and it is returning "Andrew" because "Andrew" is also after the date requested, but I cannot for the life of me work out how to get it to work.

The form that I have created has a number of controls that are created at runtime. If a user triggers the event that originally created the controls, I want to be able to delete all of the controls before recreating them.
Is there a loop that can delete all of the newly created controls? I have 9 controls on the form that need to stay put but everything after those 9 controls I want to delete. Is there something like:

I want to convert a Lexicographic Index Number, better known as Combination Sequence Number (CSN) to a combination using an EXCEL formula.C(n, k) Lexicographic Index Numbers, where n is the total numbers drawn from, and k is the total numbers drawn.
I have a lookup table in cell M1:R56 which holds the correct data, that I am pretty sure about.
In cell G1 I have the Lexicographic Index Number I want converted to a combination.
In cell J2 I have the value 39 (n).
In cell I2 I have the value 5 (k).
In cell K2 I have the formula =COMBIN($J$2,$I2).
In cell A1 (the first number in the combination) I have the formula:
=IF(G1=0,"",$J$2-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,6))
In cell B1 (the second number in the combination) I have the formula:
=IF(G1=0,"",$J$2-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,5))
In cell C1 (the third number in the combination) I have the formula:
=IF(G1=0,"",$J$2-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1),$O$1:$R$56,4))
In cell D1 (the fourth number in the combination) I have the formula:
=IF(G1=0,"",$J$2-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1)-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1),$O$1:$R$56,1),$P$1:$R$56,3))
In cell E1 (the fifth number in the combination) I have the formula:
=IF(G1=0,"",$J$2-($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1)-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1),$O$1:$R$56,1)-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1)-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1))-VLOOKUP($K$2-G1-(VLOOKUP($K$2-G1,$M$1:$R$56,1)),$N$1:$R$56,1),$O$1:$R$56,1),$P$1:$R$56,1)))
This works for the vast majority, but gives an ERROR when numbers 35,36,37,38,39 are in the combination, but funny enough NOT all the time.Lexicographic Index Number 575757 which is the maximum combination gives ALL ERRORS.

i am looking to create a vlookup but with the ability to easily change the column number index so that i can use different columns.
As an example. In a worksheet i have a table with the names of cars in column A starting row 3. Column B to m Row 1 is headed Jan to dec, row 2 same columns is a country name eg UK. Column N to Y row 1 is Jan to Dec again and row 2 of these columns is a diff country say Germany. This repeats for a few more countries. The data within Row 4 for these columns i.e per car is all prices. The table therefore shows the prices of cars per country per month.
I then have a seperate worksheet for each country where the cars are again listed in column A and Jan to Dec is in column b to M but the data is hard coded being the number of cars. I would like to use column N to link to 1 of these months hard coded counts dependant on what month i decide to forecast on. The easy way being that if i wanted to use Jan count number i would link the count for that car type to =b4 etc. Is there an easy way to allow me to change the link should i decide i want Feb ?
The second question is within each countries worksheet i want to bring into column p the countries related car price for a month i select. It may be that the count number differs from the price i select.
