Blank Cell Referencing

Mar 2, 2009

On the spreadsheet Im creating I am using cell referencing. The user will input data into the blank cells, and cell referencing will put them into another table. Then I add these using an IF(OR(ISBLANK formula.

However, the empty cells come through as 0's rather than a blank cell. As they're coming through as 0's, they're being calculated into the formula, and this is causing problems in my main table.
Is there a formula I can use to ensure that the empty cells being copied over do not give off any other value?

I tried to use a few different IF formulas to only let specific data go through, but it didn't work. I tried to have the blank cells produce a letter so that they wouldn't be calculted in the formula, but letters are also counted as measured values.

Keep Cell Blank If Referencing Cell Within IF Formula Is Blank

Jul 28, 2014

My workbook is for financial planning but I'm attempting to streamline an input page (name, birthdate, etc) that will be referenced throughout the entire workbook to trigger automatic calculations (present value, education calculations, etc).

The cell in the input page is a birthdate - which when populated will trigger a cell on a different worksheet to calculate the respective age using this formula:

Code:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY())>MONTH('Input Page'!B30),YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30), IF(AND(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH('Input Page'!B30),DAY(TODAY())>=DAY('Input Page'!B30)),
YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30),(YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR('Input Page'!B30))-1))

The problem is if there is nothing written in the birthdate cell then the age cell will automatically calculate 114 (reference photo below). Ideally I'd like that cell to be blank if nothing is in the birthdate cell on the input worksheet. I'm assuming since I'm using an IF formula to calculate the age already then I'll need to use a macro to to an "ignore".

Referencing Blank Cells

Jun 8, 2009

I would like a formula that checks for blank cells only between C1:C10 and E1:E10 and then insert the first and last names of the person associated with these blank cells (which are located in A1:10 and B1:B10) on another worksheet, which for the sake of argument can be called 'sheet2'.

Referencing Non-blank Cells

May 22, 2006

Say I have a column with cell values 4, 0, 0, 5, 0 , 0, 0, 2, 0, 3

What I am trying to do is have in the next column a formula which returns
the number adjacent to it multiplied by the number of blanks between it and
the next non-blank cell.

So, for the example above, the output would be 8, 0, 0, 15, 0, 0, 0, 2 etc

Distinguishing Between Blank Cells And 0 When Referencing

Dec 17, 2012

Suppose I have a cell containing the formula:

Code:
=INDIRECT("'"&B$3&"'!J"&ROW($J11))

Which pulls data in from another sheet in the workbook. If the referenced cell is empty, this has value 0.

I'd like to then include this cell in the calculation of an average, ignoring it if the cell it pulls from is empty but including it if that cell contains 0.

Sumif Is Referencing Blank Cells And Providing A Value

Oct 14, 2009

How do I get 'SUMIF' to ignore blank cells? sumif(a1:a10,h1,b1:b10) - then fill down

a= ID number
h1 = ID number
b= cost info

eg 'matt' in 'h' is finding 'matt' in 'a' and reporting on the cost info against that name in 'b', but in the middle of the list a blank is matching a blank and returning a subtotal which is in the cost column. I want to put sumif(a1:a10<>"",h1, b1:b10) but this doesnt work!

Fill In Blank Cells Referencing Non-Blank Cells Above

Apr 17, 2008

I have sporadic cell values in a column. I will be describing the lamen logic I use to fill in these blanks manually. Find the first nonblank cell in the column, then look for the next nonblank cell in the column. I count the number of blank cells in between. If even # of blank cells, then I give the first half of the blanks the value of the first nonblank cell and the second half of the blank cells the value of the next nonblanck. If odd # of blank cells, then I do the same with the exception that the odd cell that falls in the middle will be randomly designated the value of the either first or second nonblank cell.

I'm dealing with a DDE link and have a cell that works when I type in the value =WINROS|AVEVOL!XOM . But I don't want to manually enter each value. So I have tried to use =INDIRECT("WINROS|AVEVOL!" & A2) where A2 contains the value 'XOM', but I get a #REF! error.

Referencing Cell And Filtering Causes Cell Referenced To Change

Jul 10, 2014

Warhammer Quick Reference Desktop.xlsx

Its on book 2.

I'm trying to reference the Cryptek total that I got in the previous area, and put that result into the grand total army point formula. When I reference the solution cell, or even copy and paste the very same equation into it, and then proceed to filter the referenced cells change...

The obvious solution that i thought would work is write =D45 next to Cryptek in the point value column, then if I filter it SHOULD maintain the information from D45 except it doesn't.

IF Blank Or If Not Blank Function That Works With Adjacent Cell With Formula In It?

I have one column that contains an If statement formula and would like the next column to then work off of the first column (i.e. if that 1st column returns a value then then adjacent column uses that result).

What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)

How To Populate Blank Cells With Sequence Until Non Blank Cell Is Encountered

Mar 22, 2014

I presume this is fairly simple to do, since it's certainly easy enough to do manually by filling in a couple of rows and dragging them down, but I need it to be performed in a macro that I can run before other macros run.

What I need specifically is for the macro to go to G1 and insert the number .01... Then go to G2 and insert .02... Then G3 and insert .03... And repeat this until it finds the first non-blank cell ( row number this occurs at varies), at which point it ends and does nothing to that populated cell or any other cell in the column thereafter (including other blanks farther down).

This all needs to be done in Arial, 10pt, white.

List - Filling In Each Blank Cells With Value Contained In First Non-blank Cell Above It

Feb 27, 2013

I have a list that looks something like this:

Column B

Row 4 Item 1
Row 5 Item 2
Row 6
Row 7
Row 8 Item 3
Row 9
Row 10 Item 4
Row 11
Row 12
Row 13
Row 14 Item 5

The range of cells in column B containing the items has a name "ColStreams"

I need to go through the list, filling in each blank cells with the value contained in the first non-blank cell above it - so, in this case, rows 6 and 7 would contain "Item 2", row 9 would contain "Item 3", rows 11-13 would contain "Item 4" and so on.

I have a row with month titles. I manually fill this with data as the year progresses. I need to automatically use the last month updated in the row in a formula. i.e. theformula is in one cell and calculates on the last figure in the row e,g, data is in january (say C3) - when I input Feb data in C4, I want the formula to automatically reference the last complete cell (ignore january data and calculate on Feb data), and so on through the year.

Referencing To Cells Next To A Given Cell?

Nov 20, 2008

My current worksheet is being built for use in Eve-Online, a game I play. In specific, I am keeping track of profit made by manufacturing different items in the game. I am trying to build it like this:

Column 20 is a list of items, and the next 7 cells to the right of each item contain the mineral requirements for that item. So C20 says Bantam Frigate, C21-C28 will all contain numbers. Now, I am trying to create a function in the upper-right cells (like A1-A8) where if I type in "Bantam Frigate" into A1, A2-A8 will fetch the numbers that I put into C21-C28.


Now, I will be working with thousands of items, so I have to make sure I name both the 'database' and the query exactly right, but that's not a problem to me. Can I make something that will reference a value from (cell+1 column right) or (cell+2 columns right)

Referencing Same Cell After Sorting.

Apr 16, 2009

Say cell A1 has 55
Cell B1 has the formula =A1

Sort only column A (the 55 now becomes in a different row)
Cell B1 chnages value because it is referencing cell A1 which has now a new value.

I want cell B1 to ALWAYS get the value from that orginal cell (i.e. 55) no mmatter where that cell gets located after sorting.

INDIRECT, and Nammed Ranges don't seem to do it.

Referencing Cell Value In A Formula

Apr 16, 2013

Here is what I have

1. Have a COUNT value in a cell (counted the number of rows with values in them).
2. A formula that needs this value (sums another set of values in another column that has the same number of rows).

Example: the COUNT value is 12, and is located in cell G5.

For simplicity sake I have a formula in cell I5 SUM(F1:F12).

Instead of directly referencing F12, I want the formula to be SUM(F1:F(G5)).

Referencing A Cell In A Worksheet.

Jul 25, 2006

I used to think I was moderately intelligent. Certainly, I thought I knew my way around a computer. Then I got the bright idea to try and learn VBA. Since then every attempt I've made in trying to produce the most basic of code results in mad fits of rage and me wanting to slit my wrists. I've read half a textbook and I keep trying to write simpler and simpler code to get some sort of result, just to give me the drive to carry on but no matter what I try it always goes completely wrong.
So before I stick me head through the computer screen, here is today's attempt. I want to select a worksheet. I then want to copy the contents of cell A2 down to A1200.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Calls Outcome").Visible = True
Worksheets("Calls Outcome").Activate
Range("A2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A1200")
End Sub

I’ve stepped through the code and I get an error on “Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A1200")”. After spending several eight-hour days trying to get something out of VBA I have zero energy and zero patience.

Referencing The Value In A Cell For A Max Equation

ie. it chooses the maximum value from column C between rows 3 and 10 on "Sheet 1".

Lets say the cell reference C10 is now entered into cell B1 on Sheet 2. How do I modify the above formula to reference B1?

I have tried INDIRECT function but can't get it to work.

Referencing A Cell Based On Position Of Another Cell

Jan 23, 2009

Right now cell B7 is referencing cell D3. However I want this to be dynamic in the sense that suppose I change the Phase 2 (which starts from ww3 (cell D3)) to ww5 (cell F3) then I would like that B7 should also get updated to F3 instead of D3.

Basically the Development phase of "Support" Project starts only when Phase 2 of "Project 1" starts.

ww = Work Week.

In short cell B7 should always be in sync with the ww of Phase 2 of Project 1.

Worksheets & Cell Referencing #REF! Error

Mar 18, 2009

I have 3 worksheets:

Lets call them RED, BLUE AND GREEN

Essentially GREEN pulls Values from BLUE and BLUE pulls Values from RED. Red being the base worksheet from which everything is calculated.

In my GREEN workbook I have the following =MIN('BLUE'!H14,'BLUE'!L14)

And this will work fine.....Until I press a clear Worksheet button that has been implemented on the RED worksheet (button was not implemented by me and I do not wish to edit anything with respect to that button)

When RED is reset the #REF! Error will appear in GREEN. This is fine because it cant find any values From BLUE. However when I do input new values into RED, which in turn updates BLUE which is where GREEN in theory should then be able to pull the results from.... But it just stays with a REF! error.

Is there anyway i can permanently set a CELL to have the following code =MIN('BLUE'!H14,'BLUE'!L14), no matter what happens to other cells?
