COUNTIF Error When Linking Another Workbook
Jul 15, 2004
I am trying to do a countif in another workbook.
I enter my formula:
=COUNTIF('path[filename]tab'!$AH$11:$AH$300,"yes")
So this formula works fine when I have the other workbook open, but the next day when I open up the file (with the formula in it) and I click "update" button on the "this workbook contains links to other data sources" popup I get a #VALUE! error in the cell. Does anyone know how to correct this?
As soon as I open up the linked workbook the error goes away, but I didn't think this is how its supposed to function. I thought you didn't have to open up any linked documents. All the documents are on my desktop, so its not a share drive issue.
To test it out, I tried doing just a simple link to cell A1 in the other workbook and that works fine, so I'm thinking its the COUNTIF function that causing the problem.

I am currently working with a hidden sheetname "hide_template" which contains formula linking to another sheetname "rawdata" of same workbook.
In this "rawdata", the contents is updated from time to time.
The problem is when I open this workbook and update the entries in "rawdata", the formulas/results in "hide_template" is not updated and invalid (ie. #N/A, #VALUE..)
This is the overview of process that Im working with:
===> open workbook ===> paste new entries on "rawdata" ==> run a macro to copy range in the "hidden_template" to paste to new sheet of same workbook
I already have a working macro to copy range from the "hidden_template" which works as follows:
===> set to visible the "hidden_template" ===> copy range from "hidden_template" ===> paste to new sheet ===> set to hidden the "hidden_template"

In cells A1, A2, and A3 of Sheet1 I have data. This data is the result of some calculation else where in Sheet1. Nevertheless, I would like to link this data to Sheet2 in cells A1, A2, and A3. Now normally, you can't do this. But is their a way around this error message?

I have a workbook Book1 that has 4 sheets, one of those sheets needs to be an exact replica of a sheet from another workbook Book2. I tried to directly link the data and use Vlookup's but the problem is that when someone opens Book2 and inserts more data (Inserting rows) it does not show up on Book1.

I'm using a macro to try to pull data from a worksheet but it only works when its opened. I found a macro that is supposed to get data from an unopened worksheet but I don't understand VBA very well so is there anyone here that could tell me how to merge my macro with this one to allow me to access the unopened worksheet?
This is the website for retrieve data from unopened worksheets:
[url]
And this is my macro I'm trying to use:
Function HyperLinkText(pRange As Range) As String
Dim ST1 As String
Dim ST2 As String

I'm trying to link specific data from one workbook to another. So from the demo I've attahced, I need all of the 3rd row "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" to be linked to another workbook.
So normaly I could copy the row, go to the other workbook, "paste special" and link it to a column.
The only problem is the "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" data will not always be on the 3rd row.
So i assume I would need to automatically search for "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" and if it is found, copy the column over to the other workbook.

My question is as follows:
I have two workbooks in the same folder on a shared drive. Workbook2 is linked to workbook1. I have protected Workbook1 with a password protected to limit access.
When my collegues who use workbook2 try to open it, it asks for the password for workbook1 before opening. When they ignore that and go a head to open the file. The new information from workbook1 is not updated into workbook2.
How can i mentain my password in workbook1, and keep the files linked such that they can be able to see the new information in workbook2 without knowing the password for workbook1.

I have an excel sheet that has a list of codes and next to each code there is a price list for that particular item.
What I am trying to do it: I have another workbook that I use to type up quotes. In this workbook there are 2 columns: one with the code for the item and then another with the price thereof.
What I'd like to do is when I enter the code of the part, I'd like the price to be referenced from the other workbook and be entered into the price column.

I will attempt to describe my problem the best I can. Thank you in advance:
I have a series of charts (and the tables in which the data for the charts is stored) located in a worksheet. I copied and pasted each one of these charts next to its original. I then moved each one of the new, pasted charts into a single chart sheet at the end of the workbook. Is there a way, via macro or otherwise, to update the charts now located in chart sheet if any changes are made to the original charts?

I am importing data from an outside excel file to several other files. I requested that the data be refreshed every time I open the file that references the outside excel file. Whenever I have a file open that references the outside excel file, I can only open the outside excel file in a read-only state. Why is this, and is there any way around this issue?

ive managed to come up with this formula: = OFFSET( 'G:gailMVTR2007[B052,B261A.xls]B261A45'!$B$5,COLUMN()-3,0,1,1)
which pretty much does the same job as a paste special/translate, this works fine when both files are open and updates all the values that i could ever enter, however, when i open only the file containing the link and press "update" it returns a "#value!" error, i dont understand because it works fine when the other sheet is opened and there are no values other than a single number used.

Using Dropbox, a lot of people will fill in formulas in personal workbooks from using data from another, central workbook. Since I cannot control where they install Dropbox or where they keep their personal workbooks, I must account for that in functions.
Now, my idea is to make them define the directory of the source in their personal workbook in a specific cell and then using that as a basis for the rest of the functions.
Example
Cell A1: C:Usersuser1Dropboxfolder (copy paste from path in Windows Explorer)
Cell B1: A1&[CentralWorkbook.xlsx]SheetName'!$H$1
Basically I want the unknowing user to copy-paste the path of the central workbook into a specific cell in their own workbook and then build my functions bsed on that. How can this be done?

I have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?

A simple one for you, but again my Google skills seem lacking. This must be common practice but until one knows the key combination...
I have created a summary sheet with lots of formulas which analyse other sheets in a workbook. I want to copy this summary sheet to a seperate workbook to use as a template.
Of course, the copying process always links the new (template) sheet to the original workbook it was copied from. How does one copy without forging this link? All I want are the formulas copied across totally unchanged; I really *don't* want to manually edit 50 or so formulas!

At our small firm, each staff member keeps a small excel spread sheet on the network that contains their "work in progress." This spreadsheet is roughly six columns wide and roughly twenty lines long.
What I am attempting to do is have one "master" spreadsheet with a tab for each staff member that links their "work in progress" so that partners and managers can easily see how much work each of the fifteen or so staff members have.
I can create fifteen different tabs and fifteen different files on the network and link =[Staff1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff2.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff3.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 and so on.
If I make a change to the layout of the work in progress sheet, I have to delete and copy the file fifteen times, then go back through and re-link fifteen tabs to fifteen workbooks in order to keep it uniform.

In the code below I am defining ranges in a sheet and then using an offset and a scrollbar linked to the offsets. Then I make a graph using the data so that I can use the scroll bars to move the linegraphy left or right to compare the data sets.
My problem comes when linking the values to the graph. I know I can do this by referring directly to the xls file, but as I have loads of different files I want to apply this to I would rather use an active workbook reference...however this does not seem to work. The current code referring to the sheets works but then I have to go into the graphs and change the source data to get them to operate off the scroll bars.

I am trying to implement the idea of creating an application with two workbooks: a hidden code workbook (CodeWb) that holds all of the forms and macros, and a separate visible data workbook (DataWb) that uses the macros in CodeWb. The DataWb houses a little bit of VBA code to open the CodeWb, which then supplies the programming power to handle click events, etc., performed by the user in the DataWb.
I have advanced to the point of being able to open CodeWb from DataWb and trigger execution of a macro named "DataFileOpen" in CodeWb. This macro initializes things in DataWb and creates buttons there on a particular sheet, using the line:
Application.Run "CodeWb.xlsm!DataFileOpen"
So far so good. This works fine. My problem is that nothing happens when I click on the buttons created in DataWb, with their event handling code residing in CodeWb. Obviously, I'm missing something that maintains a connection between the two workbooks.
How can I use the code in CodeWb to handle all events occurring in DataWb?

Is there a way to count cells that show up with the "Not Available Error", or even better, is there a formula that will count all cells in range range, except those with the "Not Available Error".

I have a student grade worksheet with this formula and it returns # DIV/0 which I need to solve the problem. I have tried many different ways and none seem to work. Con someone assist with this problem. Here is the formula:
= SUM(R13,R55,R97,R139,R181)/(COUNTIF(R13,">0")+(COUNTIF(R55,">0")+(COUNTIF(R97,">0")+(COUNTIF(R139,">0")+(COUNTIF(R181,">0"))))))

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 need to count the frequency/occurance of strings "Manager", "Clerk", "HR" etc. that occur in the exact same column in multiple worksheets of a single workbook. COUNTIF works ok on a single sheet query but the formula is getting bigger if there are number of worksheets.
simplyfing the formula. Also is there anyway to put the formula on the column instead of row wise. I can use a single formula on the column instead on every row in Adminsheet.
To be clear my requirement is to count the occurrence of a search strings listed in Adminsheet column A across all worksheets and display count in Adminsheet column B

I have the a COUNTIF function used on one workbook which refers to another workbook, however I get the result #value! unless the other workbook is open - this is even if I chose to update links when I fist open the file.
Do all workbooks have to be open when using COUNTIF?
If I open the other workbook after my workbook with the COUNTIFs on has been opened then all #value! errors disappear and the correwct info is shown.

i'm trying to do a COUNTIF from an open workbook. The range I want for it is in another workbook, which I do not want to have open every time I run the macro.
This is my current
Sub cellLink()
Sheets("Calls In-Out Trend").Range("ag18").Formula = _
"=COUNTIF('C:***[*.xls]sheet name'I:I, QXO)"
End Sub
editthe range is just so I can see if it's giving the right values, the range won't be like that once I get it working. I'll probably be using logic statements to place them in the appropriate cells. The * is just me taking out the directory names, its on the desktop)
It can copy cell values from another unopened workbook, but when I try to put in COUNTIF it doesn't want to compile/run the script.
That's basically the question. Here's some background and my aim:
I'm scanning row I:I for certain keywords which I then count up and put into corresponding columns of a chart.

I am trying to use COUNTIF function to retrieve data to a "Report" tab on my workbook.I need it to be count if as I have 2 criteria whether or not the value in the cell should be counted toward the sum (one is text basically saying "Y" and other the date). Now the formula worked fine when use hard data such as this:
=COUNTIFS('Inspection Report'!$B$3:$B$1048576,"*" & "06/05/2014" & "*",'Inspection Report'!E3:E1048576,"Y")
OUTCOME: 47 (which is correct)
See how I used the date there, I typed it myself. However the end user should not be able to have access to the formula, so I used a cell with drop down list and the date is stored there. So following the logic, my new formula should be this:
=COUNTIFS('Inspection Report'!$B$3:$B$1048576,"*" & C2 & "*",'Inspection Report'!E3:E1048576,"Y")
OUTCOME: 0 (which is incorrect)
how the date is stored. By following my logic this should work as the cell only holds a string value and should be used like this in to calculate the result. if I need to use only the value of the cell in a formula like this should there be any conversion so excel understands what I am trying to do?
