Changing Referenced Table Without Effecting Previous Data?
May 2, 2013
I have a excel based timesheet that looks at an external table named "Station Master" to populate columns from a vlookup. I have recently linked the Station Master to a database to populate it. From the database we may change status so that the project does not show up in the station master anymore to make sure complete projects are not getting hours charged anymore. Now if a project that was on the master goes away previous timesheets lose the correct description because it is not on the station master anymore.
My question is there anyway to make the previous data lock so the data that is in the cells won't change when the station master changes.
A little more info... the time sheets are by quarter so 12 weeks are in the same workbook as individual worksheets. All of those worksheets vlookup to a worksheet called "projects" inside the workbook. Then that worksheet references the external Station Master workbook.
I had posted earlier and felt I had solved my problem, but I have not. What I am trying to do is use code to change directory when the save menu is activated.
I want to be able to open from one location and then it defaults to another. I have tried "chdir" , but I can't seem to get it to work. Even when I change the DefaultFilePath, the "save as" location defaults to the location where the file was opened from. I want to default all "saves" in a specific location without using the menu to select.
I need a formula to automatically change the summary column according to the month we are in.
Ie: Last Months Data Nov Dec Jan Feb
1 8 1
7 4 7
9 2 9
'Last Months Data' column should show Dec. However, as we move into February and I complete the 'Jan' column, I would like 'Last Months Data' to automatically change to show Jan's data - is this possible?
I was previously told to use the following formula but this would automatically select the current months data and not the previous months data which is what i need - =INDEX(B2:L2,MONTH(TODAY()))
I'm looking to set up a table in Excel (or possibly Access that is then referenced through Excel). But end goal would be to be able to type in an Item Number and then Excel automatically fills in the Description, weight, price and other information about that item number. That way, I don't have to type in "11108.1" and "Computer Mouse" and "$15.98". I want to only type in "11108.1" and it knows to fill in the other information. Is this possible in Excel? I've searched through many functions and haven't found it so I'm thinking it may require a combination of formulas.
I am creating, essentially, a product order form (actually a shopping list creator for my wife). Containing 'Quantity', 'Product Name' and 'Price'. When I enter the product name via a drop-down list, the price is displayed using vlookup.... no problem so far.
My problem is... or should I say, my desire is, that when the vlookup price is displayed, if I (my spouse) know the current price to be different from the one retrieved from the lookup table, I would like to post the new price and modify the data in the lookup table so that any future requests for that item will reflect the new price.
I would like to change the data layout from the "Original Table" to the "Final Table" as in attached file. Belinda_June-25-07.xls. How do I use VBA to do the change? In my original table, I may have several hundred rows and more than 36 columns for the time periods.
I'm creating a pivot table based on a section of data that will continually be of variable size. I'm trying to think of a way to command VBA to create a pivot table without giving an absolute reference to the table's source data. I can automatically select all of the data regardless of size, so I'm trying to see if I can command Excel to create a pivot table based on "Selection" instead of an absolute reference, in much the same way I might use Selection.Name instead of specifically defining a name's parameters. This is the text I currently have in VBA for the pivot table.
I want the order size to be colored red. If the most recent order is larger than the previous order, I want the order size to be colored blue. If the most recent order is the exact same size as the previous order, I want the order to be colored black.
How would I make code that would let me "remember" the previous order size and the most recent order size, and let me compare them to conditionally format the font?
clearcontents is clearing some cells outside of the specified range. Some of the cells in row 10, which is above the beginning row of specified range, are also getting cleared. I've tried several variations to no avail.
I have the following code to update a pivot table:
Code: Dim pt As PivotTable Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled For Each pt In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").PivotTables pt.ChangePivotCache ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create _ (SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="source!R4C1:R33443C55" _ , Version:=xlPivotTableVersion10)
Next pt
the R33443 term is what will be changing, the columns and the starting row should stay the same. is there a way to instead of using R33443, to enable the range to be changed based on a cell value?
In H1:H4 I have 4 different functions. When the user specifies which function to use in E1 (add, subtract, multiply, or divide), I would like C1:C4 to evaluate the values in Columns A & B.
My problem is that the formula only uses the values in A1 and B1. When I copy the formula down the column, it still evaluates for the values in A1 and B1, not in A2 and B2, A3 and B3, etc...
In lack of database experience, I am using a hidden Excel sheet for data and several other sheets with referenced data. I am populating the data sheet from an inputform and inserting new references on save. This works pretty good, but when the data has to be updated, I've currently used the before doubleclick event and hereby used the activecell for reference, but now the data is on a different sheet!
I have data in Sheet "Schedule" in range A8:C160 (including column headers), but note the length (rows) of the range is dynamic.
A8 = Customer B8 = Load Time C8 = Delivery Time
Columns B & C are formatted as h:mm:ss AM/PM, but Column B also includes text..."PRELOAD"
I would like a macro to sort the data based on column B, but the sort must follow a specific order, which is listed in Sheet "TimeSort", range A1:A50 (including header).
The custom order basically has "PRELOAD" sorting at the top, then sorting everything else chronologically starting at 6:00am.
The desired outcome would sort the range based on column B as follows...PRELOAD, 6:00:00 AM, 8:00:00 AM, 12:00:00 PM, 5:30:00 AM
I am after an automatic formula or function which calculates values for long lists instead of me dragging down the formula all the way to the end of the document.
Hence, I have a long list of data in columns A, B&C and I want the formula in column D to automatically be calculated all the way down when the list stops.
I have an issue whereby I have thousands of lines of data. I need to bring back the "previous month" worth of data (along with some additional information) but not sure how to go about this.
The attached shows the example file. I need the following : 1. Take the data to populate the "Populate" tab 2. Using Column F (Invoice Date Created) to only bring back the "previous month data" - in this case it would be May 2014 3. The following formula is what I have currently for Column B of the "Populate" tab: =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS('Data'!$N:$N, 'Data'!$M:$M, "Invoice Payment Processed", 'Data'!$A:$A, A2)) 4. The above formula brings back all the values - I only want the previous month. 5. I am then not sure how to calculate Column C - which is a count of the amount of invoices that make up the total
I have a summary worksheet consisting of columns that are referenced to other sheets within the same workbook.
If the cell in the 'referring' (original) sheet is blank then the forumula returns a zero instead of a blank in my summary worksheet, which is messing up some other calculations.
Is there a way to make these cells truly blank, or possibly into string variables instead, so that they do not interfere with my calculations?
I generated my urls to online photos, I referenced cells where some are only numerical (ex. 479) while others contain a numerical/text mix (ex. 3014-RACK). Here is my url code in excel...
see attached file. Need to find latest non blank value - in attached file it is highlighted in yellow. From there, want to summarise 26 weeks back so, in the attached file:
Row 2 would be finding 750 and summarised back 26 weeks from 30 sep 2012 Row 3 would be finding 2250 and summarised back 26 weeks from 2 dec 2012 Row 4 would be finding 5000 and summarised back 26 weeks from 4 nov 2012
I have been working on a macro that compares a existing list of data to an updated list of data and then either moves any data not on the new list over to a completed tab (followed by deleting the record on the existing sheet), and then adds any items not on the existing sheet, but which appear on the new list, to the existing list.
I have come across a stumbling block, i have managed to identify on the existing list the rows of data that have been removed from the new list and therefore need to be moved over to the completed tab, but when i select the data it selects the header row aswell (which will always remain the same row). Obviously this then pastes the header row aswell, and also i can't seem to get it to paste in the new sheet to the next available row (i.e this will be used daily and i don't won't to overwrite the infor already in the completed tab). the next issue i have is then when i go back to existing sheet to delete the data i just copied across, as the header was initially select this also gets deleted.
The code below, is the complete code, including filtering, copying some forumals etc. The area i am getting stuck on is highlighted in red:
Sub Update() Dim bottomrow As Long Dim My_Range As Range bottomrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row Set My_Range = Range("A1:Y" & bottomrow)
I seem to have a small problem with a Pivot Table on a file that we get weekly. I've built a macro to run across the file to format it and refresh. The problem is, sometimes it fails because the Pivot Table is listed as "PivotTable1" and sometimes it comes through as "PivotTable2".
I'd like to amend it so that regardless of it's name, it can be renamed to "MainPivot" or something similar.
I'm trying to take data from multiple worksheets and copy them into a summary sheet in the same workbook, and then make a pivot table from the summary sheet.
I got the first part done, but I can't figure out how to make the pivot table to incorporate new data in the summary sheet as new worksheets/data is added.
I am trying to run a quick format on a table that includes adding a Vlookup formula. The formula references a table that comes out of a pivot table, so it has a different name every time. If I look up the new generated table name, and change it below it works. Is there a way to capture the table name and insert it into the formula? Or possibly rename the table to the same thing everytime (which I think is going to cause some conflict).
I have built a compiled a workbook which figures out the daily business in my club, Staff Rota, business done, wage slips, and everything else I need. Well, everything except the stock element.
I need the current week to look up the previous weeks stock levels on each item, when the previous weeks workbook changes it's name every week. At present I name the sheets by the week ending date, i.e. 12-04-14.
I have a report that is run everyday showing a list of orders, on separate tabs based on facility code, that has all kinds of information. I want to be able to take today's file, and have it lookup any comments I posted on the previous day's file.
I've been messing with code all morning and can't get it right. I think my problem is the vlookup part, and I don't think my loop is right either. Here's a little bit of the code i'm trying:
its a simple spreadsheet that suppose to track a usage of items that were taken out of inventory, but at the same it needs to be printer friendly (that's what's causing all the problems),
it got messy when I had to carry over from previous row, I had to manually enter under "Quantity ch." in order to have correct amount under "Left" column, (see row #4)
I think I can eliminate whole "Carried over" column if I create a formula that will enter data into B4 only if J3 has a number, I also need to copy the same formula's down each column,
I have a excel worksheet which i am exporting into a word document through a macro labeled "Go". Basically it will query the excel sheet and the word document i have, will take the values and put them in the correct placing.
My problem is...
I know that excel will use the first row as the table headers, but what if i want it to start at like row c? and use that row as table headers. How would i go about doing that?
I am running into an error when creating a macro to make a pivot table and sum certain columns. I am fairly certain this is due to the name changing to PivotTable2, 3, 4, etc. each time. Is there a way to make the name stagnent so when a table is created in the macro it doesn't error out the formulas? I have an example below.
