Bypassing Reference Error
Jun 2, 2014
I am creating a worksheet that needs to input information from other worksheets that have not been created yet. I will be using this to input information as time goes on (monthly); however when trying to create the cell, I get a message that says "a formula in this worksheet involves one or more invalid references. Verify that your formula contains a valid path, workbook, range name, and cell reference." The worksheets I am trying to reference will be created eventually, but I want a formula that will not have to be updated monthly and I can just use it to roll over month to month.
My current formula looks as such:
=IF((IF($A$2=1, '[2014 Corp Engineering Project Codes.xls]Period 1'!$A13, 0))
(IF($A$2=2, '[2014 Corp Engineering Project Codes.xls]Period 2'!$A13, 0))
(IF($A$2=3, '[2014 Corp Engineering Project Codes.xls]Period 3'!$A13, 0))
[Code] ........
I have up to 'Period 6' created so far, the error highlights 'Period 7'.

I'm attempting to SUM a column of data (5 cells). It's possible that I will have #N/A in any number of them, as they call their data from another cell. Specifically, if C16 is:
=INDEX(plan_minutes,MATCH(B16,plan_name,0))
Then it checks for the text in B16 (which is populated via a dropdown list), matching the index to minutes billable (plan_minutes) and returns the value that corresponds. For example, B16 is "Monthly 50" and includes 50 billable minutes, C16 returns "50" as its result.
This becomes an issue when a billing plan isn't selected in B16, and returns #N/A for C16. For formatting and cleanliness, I have conditional formatting on C16 that states =ISNA(C16) and changes the font color to white.
WE'RE STILL NOT TO MY PROBLEM!
I can deal with the #N/A in C16-C20 with conditional formatting. What I can't deal with is my billable minutes total cell (E50).
The cell should add the billable minutes in C16-C20, but doesn't. I believe it's because the information in C16-C20 is actually text, returned by the index, and not a true number. Is there a way around this or should I change my method in some way?

The spreadsheet basically copies data by looking in all workbooks in different folders (27 in total) and copies the data across. The only problem is that it keeps asking for the password on all of the spreadsheets when it is opening up the files (all have the same password) - how do I get the code to "know" the code and bypass asking for it?
Function LastRow(sh As Worksheet)
On Error Resume Next
LastRow = sh. Cells. Find(What:="*", _
After:=sh.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
On Error Goto 0
End Function

I have a VB function in a worksheet that requires data from a workbook that is not under my control. The problem is that the workbook does not always have complete data. Often cells are filled with #VALUE, when this occurs I need a way to tell my VBA to assume a value of 0. I have tried using if(cell="#VALUE", 0,cell) but to no avail. any suggestions?

I have modified the export a range to HTML code from Mr Walkenbachs excellent book and it all works well (still learning my trade with vba!!). The only issue I have is when the code a save as dialogue box appears. As I am looking to automate this process I was hoping to get this code to automatically save preferably to a path ("c:dailyrange.htm" for eg). I have tried various permutations but am really struggling with the concept.
I am using excel 2003.
The code
Sub ExportToHTML()
' Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Filename As Variant
Dim TDOpenTag As String, TDCloseTag As String
Dim CellContents As String
Dim Rng As Range
Dim r As Long, c As Integer
'Create 7 htmls one for each column of the specified range
For Column = 1 To 7
Range(Cells(14, Column), Cells(40, Column)).Select
' Use the selected range of cells
Set Rng = Application.Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Selection)

I want to be able to run a certain chunk of code in the macro if a certain condition is true, or if that condition is not true then I want to bypass that chunk of code. It doesn't matter if this is accomplished with an if... then... else statement, or some other way.

I am in the process of transferring data from one workbook to another.
I am doing this simply by clicking on the cell where I want the data to be, typing "=", then clicking on the cell in the other workbook I want it to match. While there might be easier ways to do this, it isn't too terrible and my columns are not in the same order in the two workbooks.
The problem I'm running into, is when I click on the cell I want to copy over, the formula defaults to the fixed formula (puts $ around the cell name) and I want to be able to copy down the formula over multiple cells.
I can click on the cells and press F2 once then F4 three times to get the formula over to the desired non-fixed format, however, I have to do this for 12 different workbooks and on roughly 40 columns for each.
Is there a way to expedite the process or turn off this fixed-formula default?

I'm getting a #Value Error when i enter the following formula
=VLOOKUP(BF$17,"'"&B19&"'!"&"A10:N200",4,FALSE)
BF$17 is a number that stems from a date variable i'm looking for. B19 is a text field with the worksheet name in it.

I'm trying to create a simply loop for an easy task of copying and then pasting a formula into other cells. Basically I'm trying to get this script to run until there is no more "slsperson" references to go to.
Sub z_Paste_Sales_Formula()
Dim i As Long
Dim icolumn As Integer
icolumn = 4
Cells(3, icolumn).Select
Selection.Copy
i = 1
Do
Application.Goto Reference:="slsperson" & i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
sls_row = ActiveCell.Row
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
gp_row = ActiveCell.Row
Cells(sls_row, icolumn).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Number = i + 1
Loop Until Application.Goto Reference:="slsperson" & number = error
End Sub

I have aproblem when I try to reference another sheet in a formula. I had it in my 2003 version, upgraded to 2007, and it is still there.
I want to make a reference to cells in another sheet - using them to multiply with a number in the sheet I am working on ....
I write "=(Sheet)(cellreference)" [just to see if the number actually ends in the sheet I am working on]
- Sheet by going to the sheet and marking the cell and then press return.
When I do this Excel responds with erronous behaviour and at least does not go back to the initial sheet and provide me with the number from the referenced Sheet/Cell. Some times I receive an error message about circular reference problems ....

This formula might be the problem for the error message.
SUMPRODUCT((MOD(COLUMN(C3:CO3)-COLUMN(OFFSET(C3:CO3,,,1,1)),3)=0)*C3:CO3)
I have other cells with the same formula (but with different range i.e. D3:CP3), yet it doesn't have circular reference error message.

I get a weird message every time I open Excel.
Error Number = 91
Error Discrp = Object variable or With block variable not set
You may have to manually set a reference to the ]VBIDE = VBE6EXT.OLB]
Not sure what this means or how it happened, but I know nothing about Code.
--> I am curious if maybe it has something to do with another weird instance I've had on all my Microsoft apps lately: Usually I can highlight text and press backspace to delete - or just type over the highlighted text to delete it. Now, when I highlight and press delete, nothing happens. If I highlight and try to typeover the highlighted text, it just adds my new text in front of the highlighted. --- Doubtful that both are related other than they are both really annoying every day.

I used the vba recorder to get the code and didn't change one thing, and now I am getting an error when i click on the command button to execute the code.
error
Run time error 1004
The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By Box isn't the same or blank.
Row 1 = column headings
row 2 is the first set of data, *****, however, most of the data in the column is blank. There are only 2 options, (Yes) or blank, and I am trying to sort the sheet so all the (Yes) appear at the top
when i did the macro recorder, it seemed to work.

I was able to get VBA to post this relative reference, which sticks the formula
=DATE(YEAR($D2),MONTH($D2)+6, DAY($D2)+1) into a cell in Col J.
All fine and dandy, works as it should with this formula.
Code:
.Cells(Row, "J").FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(YEAR(RC4),MONTH(RC4)+6, DAY(RC4)+1)"
However, when I try this with a different formula =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C2,H2)),"REPEAT","SAFE"), I'm getting a compile error: Expected end of statement with this code:
Code:
.Cells(Row, "I").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(RC3,RC8)),"REPEAT","SAFE")"
The error message highlights the word REPEAT. I suppose it's something with all the quotes throwing off where compiler thinks the end of the formula should be.

I'm having trouble calling a subroutine from a command button. It's puzzling because I've set up buttons before and didn't have this trouble.
Here is my button
Private Sub EPConversionButton1_Click(ByVal target As Range)
Convert_Hrs_EP target
End Sub
And here is the subroutine.
Sub Convert_Hrs_EP(target As Range)
End Sub
There's nothing there yet, but I keep getting error messages regarding the transfer from the button code to the subroutine.
The message is: Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name. The Help file says this means that my procedure has the same name as an event, but does not have the same signature. But it's not so.

I've been testing the countif function and for some reason it isn't working for me.
I have the following text in cells A1:A3
"apple"
"banana"
"peach"
I have the following text in cells C1:C3
"apricot"
"banana"
"grape"
I put the following formula in B1 and copied down into B2 and B3.
=COUNTIF($C$1:$C$3,A1)
It is meant to count how many of each fruit in A1:A3 is also in C1:C3.
The banana is the only one that is in both lists so the formula in B2 should return 1.
But all three formula's return zero.
If I change the range in the countif formula to relative it works. eg., =COUNTIF(C1:C3,A1)

I am setting up a "save as" macro that saves a file by replacing another file in a folder. Even though the macro has been recorded by approving the replacement (the prompt appears "the file --- already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?"), when I run the macro, I am again prompted about replacing the file. Is it possible to avoid the prompt so the file is automatically saved by replacing the named file?

I'm getting an N/A error on my MATCH formula.
I'm trying to match a cell reference, rather than a specific text or value.
Here is the syntax I used. MATCH(Cell,Table Array Name, 0)
I have made sure that the text matches exactly and the cell formats are the same.

I have a file with data in one sheet (unfortunately I cannot share the file because of confidential data..), and two sheets with both 9-11 charts in them.
The charts are all filled simply with a dynamic range from the datasheet, so that Last Year and all months from this year with data in them are always in there.
The problem: When opening either of the graph sheets, the (familiar?) error pops up: "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name and cell reference."
One of the graphs has an error and only shows one point of data in it. But only until I press F9, and then the chart is repaired and functions perfectly like all the others!
I have tried lots of things, including checking all source ranges, deleting all graph names etc. and then repaired it so it would work again. The only thing that happened, is that the same error now pops up for another graph in the sheet. Still, when you press F9, the graph functions again!

I have encountered some difficulty in modifying a macro I wrote into what I need. I created a macro that searches a column (Column C) for a cell value of, "stop", and then it copies everything above that cell and pastes it onto another sheet. In the sample data set that I was using, "stop" first occurred in cell C541, so the macro copies C1:C540 and pastes it onto another sheet. The problem is that the macro created an absolute reference to C540. What I desire is for the macro to use the 'Find' function to locate the first occurrence of, "stop", offset one cell above that cell, and then reference the active cell (which was positioned by these last two steps) in the range that should be copied. Basically, I'm hoping to have cells C1 through the active cell copied and then pasted onto another sheet.
Code below.
Sub FAIL()
'
' FAIL Macro
'
'
Sheets("Reformatted").Select
Columns("C:C").Select
Selection.Find(What:="stop", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
[Code] .......
