I have inherited a very complex spreadsheet which has some very simple formulas. As I changed some of the variables I noticed that the cells with the formulas are not updating automaticaly. If I highlight the cell and then position my cursor inside the formula bar then hit return the cell with update. Is there a protection or setting that I am unaware of that controls this behavier?

I've a lot of formulas (made in vba) in a Sheet. The problem is that even if the formulas all work as they should from the beginning, somtimes when I'm running some other macros, the formulas instead shows some error message. When selecting the cells and pressing enter, the formulas once again shows the right answer. Since it's extremely inefficient to select and press enter at each cell, what I need is some way to update these cells. Anyone know a quick way to update all formulas in the sheet?

Is there a way that I can modify them and reference the same sheet name but locally
For your information
When selecting menu Formulas and then "Show Formulas" chart data series do not display
When selecting a Chart the "Show Formula" selection is not available (at least I did not find it)
In addition, when selecting the Chart, Then Design, then "Select Data", it replies in the pop-up with the comment "The data range is too complex to be displayed...."
There are about 40-60 formulas as shown below!!
The sheet name with data is D_Brand_Q
HTML Code:
' here is a sample of the current formula
=SERIES('C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$1,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$E$197:$E$218,'C:2011-12-Jul-Nov[2011_06_Sales.xls]D_Brand_Q'!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)
' This is the desired formula
=SERIES(D_Brand_Q!$CC$1,D_Brand_Q!$E$197:$E$218,D_Brand_Q!$CC$197:$CC$218,2)
I'm using a heavy excel file and I have linked some cells in one sheet to other worksheets in the same file. My problem is that when I change the value in some cells they do not change in the other cells linked to the ones I have modified.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have the same question as described in Graphs Not Updating When Source Data Updated; however, the poster did not reply to the request-for-clarification questions.
My chart does not always update when my source data changes. My Calculations setting is Automatic (not Manual). There is no macro code working to produce the source data or the chart. My chart is on the same worksheet as my source data. The source data is simple links to other cells in the same workbook that update as the underlying data is updated. Saving doesn't work. Manually calculating (F9) doesn't work. The only way I have found to get the correct data to display in the charts is to open the Source Data and re-enter the Series range. Obviously, that gets old.
i would like to know if Excel offers a feature whereby reminders for instance to call a client will pop up when you open a particular file? I am not referring to the comments tags that one can insert. I am looking for a type of pop up screen function ?

I was trying to set yp a formula that will automaticaly extend a series. I mean will add a sequential number to the one above. If I have in cell A1: CD001. I want to place a formula that will show me: CD002 in cell A2. I tried n function but it only converts it to the number and comes uout as 0. I don't know which one to use if there is any. Answer to the first question I will probably be asked: No I cannot drag it down with a mouse as I will place it in the conditional function afterall.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

I have a long list of sedols and wish to download the last price for each on a limited range of dates (30 dates, hundreds of sedols). So I built my excel file to have the sedol running down a column and dates across the top, with the function:
=BDH($A4&" Equity SEDOL1","PX_LAST",DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1),DAY($D$1)-0),DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1),DAY($D$1)-0),"Dir=V","Dts=S","Sort=A","Quote=C","QtTyp=Y","Days=T","Per=**","DtFmt=D","DTS=H")
the cells are not updating automatically, even when I hit refresh.. the only way is to go into each cell and hit enter (not practical!).
The next problem is that it adds something like ("cols=1;rows=2") to the end of the function and copies down further than I want.
Is it the case that the Bloomberg functions just can't handle having the dates across the top and security identifiers down the side - or is there some work around?
I'm looking for a formula that would take the newest figure from a column in sheet A and update cell in sheet B. Every week it's going to be a different cell in a column in sheet A (always one below last week's) but the same cell in sheet B.
Basically I would like one cell in sheet B to show me most recent information from column in sheet A...
I am going to try to be as detailed as I can here:
I have been manually inputting the most recent "paid to date" field from one sheet to another within the same workbook.
There are about 20 different payment schedules for each deal. Each of these has their own sheet, and we will call this the "Deal" sheet. Some deals are paid based on a monthly schedule, some are quarterly, and others are annual.
The "deal" sheet looks like this:
Due Date Payment Payment Rcvd Remng Payment Payment Date
8/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 08/1/08
9/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 09/1/08
10/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 10/1/08
11/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 11/1/08
12/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 12/1/08
1/31/08 $10,000.00 $0 $10,000.00
I want to have a macro that will paste the most recent "Due date" based on a zero value in the "Remng Payment" column. For this example, the most recent "Due Date" should be 12/31/08 because that is the most recent zero value.
I want to past this value in another worksheet that contains a report for all 20 deals. Lets call this the "Reports" worksheet. Each of these dates individual deals needs to be applied to its respective row on the "Reports" worksheet in a "Paid to Date column.
I recently found out about .xlsb, which is faster and file size.. (mainly using it for the improved speed)
Now I've changed all the files at work to .xlsb and now link them all to .xlsm files that i can use to update the links to pull the data from the .xlsb files and then run macros as i need to.
However... I am having some issues with linked cells not updating automatically? is this because if the .xlsb format?
1. my understand was that .xlsb is the same as .xlsx just XML limitations.
2. my excel is set to automatic but i have to manually force it to update (and in some cases need to repoint the cell to the cell in the spreadsheet again).
I have 2 drop down menus based on car make and model.
The first contains Make and the second contains the models of that make using the indirect function (All through data validation (this may be my problem))
Now what I'm wanting is that when the Make changes, the Model will automatically changes to either the top (or any really) model from the list for that make or to change to blank. So can this be done without VBA?
I currently have three worksheets and I'm trying to keep the data the identical throughout all three worksheets in cells B6-B9. I need to automatically update the same cell on the other two pages with the data from the edited one. Meaning if cell B7 is updated on sheet 2, that same data would be updated in cell B7 in the other two sheets, or if cell B9 is updated on sheet 3, that cells B9 on sheets one and two would have that same data.

I am trying to write some code that will loop through the workbook (selecting all cells formatted as currency), updating the cell value and rounding to 2 decimal places. The updated price must be rounded as these prices are used in calculations.
The prices are not in a contiguous range and are in different cells on each sheet, but all within the range (“B1:V200”)
I need the user to enter the required increase I,e 1.05 (5%) in Price update sheet, cell “F6”, then run the code from this sheet (which will be the only sheet I do not want to run the code on, which will be the active Sheet)
This is the code I have so far
I don’t know if it will work yet as it errors out (Type mismatch) on this line.
cell = cell.Value * Sheets("PriceUpdate").Range("F6").Value
Sub UpdatePrices2()
For Each Ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Ws.Name ActiveSheet.Name Then
For Each cell In Ws.Range("B1:V200")
If cell.NumberFormat = "$#,##0.00" Then
cell = cell.Value * Sheets("PriceUpdate").Range("F6").Value
cell = WorksheetFunction.Round(cell, 2)
End If
Next cell
End If
Next Ws
End Sub
I have a spreadsheet that has several formulas that update once all the values are inputted however I noticed that if I drag the formulas down the column, the cells does not update until I click the save button.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a range (J:M) that contains a conditional formatting with more than 3 conditions. It is based on a script I found on this site but the problem is that the colors don't change unless I edit the cell.
I need to edit all cells in this range at once.
How can I do that? Basically it could do a loop through all cells in the range and "F2+enter" but it seems to be a very "stupid" way to do it.
How can I update the cells in the range in a better way?
I am working on a spreadsheet that is essentially a question and answer based document .... I need to set up the macros so that if a certain response is chosen from a list, it will automatically update the cell / row next to it with a pre-determined response ....
The way the spreadsheet is set up is that the first column has the question, the second column has the answer (yes, no or N/A - from data validation - as a list) and the third column is blank - but is titled "comment/action" .....
For example: if the question is "have you locked the car" and the answer column selects "NO" then I want the "comments/action" to come back with "you need to lock the car", and if the answer is "YES" then I want the comment/actions column to remain blank ...... The same with N/A ......
I will have around 100 questions in the document ...... I know I need to set up the responses on a separate worksheet - i just dont know what the macro's are to identify and place the appropriate response from the worksheet to the relevant comment/action column .....
I want to using a spin button to update figures on a range of cells ranging from C3:AI95. Do I need to create one for every cell and link it to each one or is there a way of the spin button appearing when I select any of the cells to update.
Basically I have a range of issues across the rows on the top and the columns (B) are days of the month.
I have work sheet where certain cells are updating constantly
the cells are D7, D10, D13, D16, D19, D22....... all the way down to D60
Now the values in these cells are changing every few seconds..... what I'd like to do is track the direction the cells are moving in a seperate sheet.
Lets say the cells displayed the following values for example:
D7=2.5
D10=3.4
D13=5.9
D16=8.2
D19=11.6
D22=13.8
D25=16.1
Any way to automatically update my spreadsheet align all of the cells in the correct row/column.
Attached is a sample sheet. Columns A-D show how they originally look. Columns F-I show how I would like them to appear.

I've got a workbook that I'm currently designing and I've just realised that I need to delete a few sheets, paste in some new template sheets and rename them. The problem is, I've already completed my summary sheets and I don't want to have to redo the values. Essentially, I just want to (temporarily) turn off auto-updating of formulas when cells / sheets are changed/moved/deleted.
For practical purposes: I need to delete the sheet named "Jan", paste in a new sheet "MonthTemp", rename "MonthTemp" to "Jan" and have all my formulas not updated (e.g. still referencing "Jan" instead of "#REF!")
I'm hoping this is a simple question someone might help clear up for me.
I've defined a few cell ranges on a worksheet (in my example I've defined their names as site1, site2, site3, site4, site5). All these ranges are identical in # of columns and rows.
On a separate worksheet, I'm trying to display a single named range, depending on the value in a dropdown menu.
In my example, I have a pulldown menu with the following items: site1, site2, site3, site4, site5 (mirroring the named cell ranges). I'd like to display one of these ranges, depending on which name is selected in the dropdown.
What I am trying to do would appear to be very simple. I am trying to build a quotation form for our sales guys to use. I would like to use a drop down list with the list of products in, which I have created using a list in a second sheet and then using a data validation drop down list.
What I would like to achieve is the sales person selects the product (of a list of only 14) from the list and excel to automatically fill in the two columns to the right with the model no. and also the price.
Would it be possible to use an IF statement as there are only 14 products to choose from? Is there a better way of doing this? I have created the lists of model numbers and prices in the second sheet alongside the product name which the drop down list sources from.
ive had to retype this so please bear with me. ive utilised the resources of this site before but ive come to the time where i need to ask a question of my own.
now i will refer to my attached document as what im trying to achieve.
my project is to create membership cards for our social club at work, out of a list of people we have on our manifest.
If you refer to column A, this is where i will dump the manifest of members as time progresses (keeping in mind that more names will be added to this list as it goes).
What i am hoping to achieve, is to start at Cell A2 (highlighted in yellow). For the example the membership name is "a". i want to hit the macro button and the following will occur.
1. data "a" from Cell A2 will be copied to B2 (highlighted in green) and G6 (highlighted in blue). This moves the name from being on the unregistered list over to a membership card and to the registered list, which allows me to cross check that im not doubling up on names with new applicants and current members.
2. once this occurs, i was cell A2 to delete and cell A3 to be moved up, so now, cell A3's data "b" (highlighted in orange) will be moved to A2.
3. a similar process as point 1 will now occur, where A2 will be moved to the highest empty cell in Column B, which would be B3 now. It will also copy to G18 into the 2nd membership card.
4. this process occurs until column A is empty in A2.
5. i wish to really only have an A4 page worth of membership cards before i print, so i wish to be able to "reset" the membership card boxes, so that instead of the membership cards continuing all the way down the worksheet, it will do say 12, then print, then start back in the 1st box. Ideally this is a loop so that it occurs until there are no more names in Column A.
This is a huge feet for me as an idea because ive never gone beyond using basic recorded macros, however im the type who just HAS to learn how to do stuff, so i will lap up any information or assistance i can recieve from anyone here.
I need some assistance taking dates entered in a userform and applying them to the sheet 'Completed_Report' cells Q1 and R1. The userform code that stores the input values is:
