Changing Cell Value Not Formula?

Mar 9, 2012

How can I edit a cell's value without changing the formula within?

for example:
cell A2=$B$2
cell B2=$A$2

-I allowed for this circular reference and now I want to be able to change the value in one cell and have it appear in both cells without removing formulas.

VBA - Changing The Value Of A Cell From A Formula To A Value

Nov 21, 2007

I currently have some code in VBA that for each line creates a vlookup and a second one that takes the left part of a cell, depending on where a "/" is located in the cell as below:

For i = 2 To FinalRow
Cells(i, FinalCol + 1).Formula = "=VLOOKUP($A" & i & ",LookupList,3,FALSE)"
Cells(i, FinalCol + 2).Formula = "=LEFT($F" & i & ",FIND(""/""," & "$F" & i & ",1)-1)"
Next i
The issue I am finding is that running the 2 formulas for 4000 rows is taking approx 5 mins. The end user doesn't need to see a lookup, the value stored from the result would be fine.

is this possible. So that the value of the cell is a result of a formula I have created?

Changing Cell Formula Each Week

Oct 3, 2006

I have a sheet (sheet2) that this week has the formula
Cell B2
=Sheet1!D2
Cell B3
=Sheet1!B2

Next week I want the formula to be
Cell B2
=Sheet1!F2
Cell B3
=Sheet1!D2

And so forth.

Each Column has the Week ending date (a sunday) in Row 1. So D2 represents this week and B2 Last week, until next week when D2 becomes the 'last week' and F2 becomes the this week.

The inbetween letters contain another set of data for those weeks so i will apply the same formula to these.

Copy Absolute Formula, Without Changing Every Cell

Sep 23, 2009

I think this should be easier than I am making it out to be, but the answer is escaping me....

Among other things, I have a workbook with these worksheets in it: Hours, Cost, Profit, Revenue.

Columns A, B, C & D should be exactly the same on each worksheet. So, I have all the data for these columns entered into Hours, and then reference that worksheet on the other ones.

That works fine until I sort it differently and then instead of having row 2 reference row 2, it will be in row 9, etc.

Now I know I can use =+Hours!$A$2 for the absolute reference, but then i would manually have to change the reference on each cell.

SO - (finally the question) Is there a way to use the absolute reference without having to manually enter it into each cell?

Changing Cell Reference In A Formula When Inserting A Row

Jul 10, 2009

I have a function Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW1) in row 1 and dragged down 129 rows so the last reads Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW129). If I insert a row the cell reference does not increment automatically below the insert location. How do I get it to do so. The insertion occurs when I run a macro.

Prevent Cell Referencing Within Formula From Changing

Jul 30, 2009

I've got an issue where Formulas Referencing Cells on another sheet are getting changed automatically to refer the the moved cell data. The formulas on a sheet (2) refer to specific cells on sheet (1) within my workbook. I update Sheet(1) data with a macro. When sheet (1) updates, the present data gets shifted to the right.

In other words, I need to prevent the formulas from changing to reference the moved data values and keep referencing the initial cell with the new values. xample of change that occurs with update:

Repeat Formula 5 Times Before Changing Cell Reference?

Feb 27, 2014

how I can have a formula repeat down a column five times before it changes to another formula? For example. Say on tab 1 I have a list of products. On tab two I have five codes that repeat down the page over and over again. On tab two next to the repeating codes I need to repeat product one 5 times and then skip to product 2 on the 6th row and repeat five times and then skip to product 3 on the 11th row and repeat 5 times and so on?

Stop Formula Cell Reference Changing When Copying

Nov 1, 2006

I am trying to cut/paste a row of formulas in my spreadsheet. The problem is that I want some of the referenced cells in the formula to stay CONSTANT and not increment on each new row. In this example, I want the references to row 17 (F17,E17) to increment (E18,E19,...), but I want the "G7" reference to remain hard coded (as G7) on each row I paste (because that is where my master value is). (The formula is working fine) =IF((F17>0),IF((F17<=G7),E17,0),0)

Changing Worksheet In A Formula?

Dec 13, 2012

Trying to increment worksheet in order to summarize data from all other worksheets. I have 70+ worksheets and I'm trying to copy and paste worksheet and cell reference so that the same data on each worksheet is summarized on one sheet. Worksheets are labeled Cost (1), Cost (2), Cost (3) etc. When I copy the cell reference I can't get the worksheet name to change to the next worksheet:

=+'Cost (1)'!$E$19
=+'Cost (1)'!$E$19
=+'Cost (1)'!$E$19

I want to get this

=+'Cost (1)'!$E$19
=+'Cost (2)'!$E$19
=+'Cost (3)'!$E$19

Changing Text Using Formula?

Jul 1, 2014

I was wondering if there is a formula to change cell C2 to "Red" (One uppdercase, the rest lowercase) or if this was only possible through macro?

Also, would there be a way to combine B2 & C2? I apologize, but that was the only logical way I could think of to get the output in C2.

Color Changing Formula

Jun 19, 2007

Need the formula or redirect me to a thread about changing the text color of numbers based on value.

I.e. I need for negitive numbers to be RED Positive numbers to be BLACK and 0 to be YELLOW like below.

1.0
0.0
-1.0

This formula will be use for a huge data base and only one column needs to be affected by it. Currently I had click the option to change color but it becomes a hassle and there is room for error. I wish to put the data in the column and not worry about the color.

Changing Information In If Formula?

Jan 11, 2012

I have a timesheet worksheet that a previous employee created and I need to alter a formula. Unfortunately, I can no longer contact them.

Anyways, I need to alter an "if" formula that is associated with a drop down list. As of now, the drop down list is used for a 2 week period ending on a specific date. When the date is selected, the calendar automatically aligns the proper dates to the days of the week. I believe it is able to do this with an "if" formula that is used by the numbered days of the month. For example; if I select January 14th, 2012 as the 2 week period ending date,

On the 14th the "if" formula shows as this:
=IF(ISBLANK($P$2)," ",$P$2+1-1)
On the 13th, it shows as this:
=IF(ISBLANK($P$2)," ",$P$2-1)

I noticed a trend here with the last digits 2+1-1 and 2-1, so i attempted to go with this trend and add numbers as the dates went on, but it did not work.

I need to change this so that instead of a 2 week ending period, it is for a full month. So, if I were to select January 2012 or any month, all the days of the month would align correctly with their days of the week.

SUMPRODUCT-formula With Changing Conditions

Feb 8, 2009

I have a few varieties of SumProduct-formulae that are very helpful when dealing with numbers and/or letters in set conditions.

Like this one, which counts rows where conditions are met in four columns:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Z413:Z432="G");--(AB413:AB432<-3);--(AC413:AC432>0,4)*(AD413:AD432>5))
and this one, which sums the values of the same
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Z413:Z432="G");--(AB413:AB432<-3);--(AC413:AC432>0,4);--(AD413:AD432>5);(AD413:AD432))

How does one make these two do their respective jobs when one or some of the columns are conditions for the next column - with their changing values, and thereby changing conditions?

Instead of "bigger than 0,4" as the condition for the AC part, it should be something like "bigger than it's AD counterpart" (AD value on the same row).

I have a few combinations of these "internal" measurements to do (the AB in addition being < than a certain percentage of the AC, and so on) but first of all I need a solution to the placement of the > and < signs.

Formula In Cells With Changing References

Mar 12, 2009

I am running a research experiment in triplicate. Upon generation of data for all three, I create an averaged value of the three. I then take this value and do more calculations with it on a separate sheet. I wanted to know if there was a way in which I could quickly generate formulas based on a changing reference cell.

Example Data:

V1A 28
V2A 26
v3A 30
AvA 28

V1B 20
V2B 22
V3B 18
AvB 20

Vxy represents the value of y sample, x triplicate. V1A being sample A, first triplicate. AvX is the average of the three values.

I want to be able to generate a formula that references AvA which can be applied to the cell immediately below to reference AvB. A simple example would be to square the average.

Changing Default Formula In Column?

Dec 20, 2012

I have a data table with multiple columns. Several columns have absolute formulas repeating in each of the rows. I would like these formulas to be the default ones in each of the columns whenever I insert a new row.

Unfortunately, whenever I insert a new row Excel automatically inserts different formulas, which do not appear anywhere in the table. These formulas used to be in the table, and at the time Excel asked me if I wanted them to be the default formulas for those columns - which I happily confirmed. As stated, I now have new formulas which I want to be the default ones, but I can't figure out how to set them as such. I even tried to turn off the auto-extend feature, and then back on, to no avail.

Changing Lookup Formula To IF Statement

Feb 12, 2013

How the Lookup will break down within an IF statement?

Original

HTML Code:
'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(R[-1]C[-2]"""",LOOKUP(1000,SEARCH({""Principal"",""Foreclosure"",""Interest"",""Premium"",""Discount""},RC[-1]),{1,1,2,2,2}),"""")"

Non-Working If statement. I realize that the Lookup isn't currently here. Including it kind of defeats the purpost of breaking this out into IF's, doesn't it?

HTML Code:
If MyFirstCell.Offset(0, -2) "" Then
MyFirstCell.Offset(0, -1) = Search("Principal")
MyFirstCell = 1
ElseIf MyFirstCell.Offset(0, -1) = Search("Foreclosure") Then
