I am trying to create a calculator in excel that has five parts. I want to manipulate each part based on the other parts. I cannot figure out how to remove the formula and replace it with the derived number without a circular reference. The circular references slow down the main macros of my program.
View 2 RepliesI have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".
I have the following formula in cell L51 of all sheets calculating the volume depending on the monthly index that is chosen from the drop down menu in a particular sheet. =If(MIndex=0, SUM(D33:L50),If(MIndex=1,SUM(D34:L50),If(MIndex=2,SUM(D35:L50), 0))). I am getting the following message and I do not understand what it is about.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, creating a circular reference. Try one of the following
15.2
13.9
6.1
9.19
and i wanted to divide these all by 4.
I can do this by clicking on a cell OTHER than one of those four above, and do:
=A1/4 (if 15.2 was A1) and copy that formula down.
But then I have the originals AND the new ones in separate columns.
I want to just be able to divide those original numbers by 4 without resorting to using other cells, but if I do =A1/4 on A1 itself it says that i have made a "circular reference"
I'm looking for something that could report the details of (all) circular references in a workbook.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a basic Excel document intended for use as an navigation log. I'm having a problem with circular references.Here is what I'm trying to do:
True track: A1=B1-C1
Mag. track: B1=A1+C1
Mag. variation: C1
The idea being when you open the document you enter the true track or magnetic track depending on the information derived from the chart. The document then calculates either mag. or true track for you depending on where you entered the information. I then have 25 or so rows of this.
The problem I'm having is that once excel "sees" any circular references in the sheet it brakes down and some other functions stop working. Since you usually don't use all the rows available the document will always contain these circular references.
I know I can disable the circular reference warning and that fixes the issue but as I'm intending to share the log I'd rather find another solution.I tried IFERROR and I couldn't get it to work.
Is there no function similar to IFERROR so that if a function contains a circular reference it will return some fixed value?
I am trying to make a formula use an IF statement to identify different cells on a different sheet to pull raw data from.
However I've never tried formulas involving multiple sheets before.
This is the formula i get a circular reference for =IF('Store Input'!I6:J6=Lewis,(('Store Input'!C6:D6/1.2)/100*0.75))
I am not entirely sure what im doing thats causing confusion but ill explain the desired effect.
If a Cell has a value of "Name" then take data from cell "X" and do calculation /1.2 /100 *0.75 on a separate sheet.
Further more i want it to apply to multiple cell possibilities. so like the one above except repeated on different cells.
So as well as the above, i want it to perform the same operation for a set of cells further to its right and so and so forth.
I'm creating a worksheet that gives a list of part numbers based on the product part code. In most cases I can use the following.
=LOOKUP(O6,{0,1,2,3,4},{"NONE (M25)","SMP-55-001","SMP-55-004","SMP-55-008","SMP-55-014"})
so this gives a part number depending on what number is placed in O6. What I need to do know is look at 2 different cells and for each combination of numbers give a different part number. so if A1 is 2 and B1 is 3 give a certain result.
I have a document needed to be printed with some pages in the middle in landscape page type, the rest in portrait. If using Word it would be easier, but in Excel I cant find the section break to chage page setup separately. Is there anyway to do it. Currently I'm printing the document separately in portrait and then landscape with some page break added and page number modified. However it's quite troublesome and easy to make mistake.

The items are structured so that they all have seven main sections. Within each main section their is a variable number of parts, that the items are made of.
The items uses only one part from each main section. So all items consists of seven (identical) main sections and seven parts.
I am looking to group items togheter which are precisely identical. I mean the items that uses the same part in all the main sections.
Is there an Excel/math wizard out there? I have all the data, but I can't make Excel do this task for me..
I have sheets with names of people in columns....some married...some not. When they are married, here's a sample format...
Jones, Donald T | Baker, Sarah Jane | Jones, Sarah Jane | Smith, Sarah J | Jones, Sarah Jane Smith
In this example, I would like to be able to determine which of the Sarah's belongs to Donald w/o having to visually look at each record ( 100,000's of records). (FYI: the names for Sarah would/could be her Maiden Name and possibly a name or two from a former marriage). What I need to be able to do is match and extract the names of Jones, Donald T and Jones, Sarah Jane and Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and eliminate Smith, Sarah J and Baker, Sarah Jane.
In my example, Donald is in the first column, but can be in any column on a row so the name positions are random across the columns. However, the format for each column is then same...Last Name, First Name Middle Name(or Initial) with a comma always after the last name in each column. The length of the last name also varies.
VBA or Formula that will search the cells in the columns of each row and return the names (complete contents of the cells with matching last names) that have a matching last name for that row.
I have a table of projects with 1) duration in year, 2) time window (number of years of our planning cycle), and 3) start year of the project. I want to generate a list of project parts of all projects where they may take place. This will serve as an input to an optimization program.
So a project of 2-year duration should have 2 parts over any year within the time window. I am including the "impossible" ones for my developer to tag them as "0" when we run it through his code.
If I have the spread sheet
........Month Deal Name Deal Size
Row1 May
Row2 DrewDeal 50
Row3 DanDeal 100
Row4
Row5 June
Row6 FankDeal 60
Row7 MaryDeal 200
I want to know can I output into another sheet the values based on the month. So I would have a drop down window with the months, and if I selected May, all the data from Row1 to Row 4 would show up. If I selected June all the data from Row 5 to Row 7 would show up
If I have the Same Table, I want to find out the Sum of the Deals in the months, so I want to create a table that shows the months, and then the SUM of the Deal Size Column.
I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd
Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000]
If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "" Then
With Sheets("Log")
I'm trying to put together a dashboard that is referencing a table. Now the dash board I would like to have it so I can change a value and the details will update based off of my selection. This is all drived off of named ranges and have that working. The part I don't have working is dynamically changing what part of the table is being referenced to.
i.e. Say i have modeling quality I have a formula that looks like this
=SMALL(IF(Table1[[#All],[Modeling Quality]]=$D$12,ROW(Table1[[#All],[Modeling Quality]])),ROW($M1))
Which works perfectly. However if I change modeling quality to say modeling experience which has different criteria i need the formula to look like this
=SMALL(IF(Table1[[#All],[Modeling Experience]]=$D$12,ROW(Table1[[#All],[Modeling Experience]])),ROW($M1))
Is there a way I can drive the table reference from a cell selection? I've tried referencing them by manually typing in the cell address to no avail.
I set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
=COUNTIF(E14:Z14,"*Y*")
=COUNTIF(E11:Z11,"*DI*")
It is suppose to be that if the employee is "FT" and has worked >=4 years the return is 15. But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!
I have a pivot table which draws data automatically from a database
What I would like it for the customer field of the pivot table to only equal the customers which are present in another worksheet (Column A:A)
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
I have a workbook with two tabs, on the first one there is one column and the top of the column(A1) is a dropdown containing the options 'Boy' or 'Girl'.
One the second worksheet I have two named tables (Boy and Girl) - these tables each contain a single column array with 5 names in each (so we have a table of 5 boys names and a table of 5 girls names)
What I want to happen is when a user selects an option from the dropdown in A1 the cell below(A2) is populated randomly with a name from the corresponding list.
I have achieved this initially using the following formula:
=IF(A1="Boy", INDEX(Boy,RandInt(1,10)), INDEX(Girl,RandInt(1,10)))
This works fine, but I will need to expand this for several dropdown options, so my new workbook will have a dropdown of car makes, and each make will have a list of the models associatied with the car make (e.g. Ford: Fiesta, Escort, Mondeo...)
But I do not want to have a ridiculously long nested IF statement for every car Make, so what I want to do is something along the lines of the following:
=INDEX([CONTENTS OF A1],RandInt(1,10))
So I use the text selected from the dropdown in A1 as the TableName in my formula - however, I cannot retrieve that to use in the formula without it coming back as a text with the "" included and my formula errors!
Using Excel 2013.
I have two sheets in a workbook.
Sheet 1 has the following columns on it, with the following possible values.
People (Dropdown with value between 1 and 8)
Modifier 1 (Dropdown with Text 1, Text 2, Text 3)
Modifier 2 (Dropdown with Text 1, Text 2, Text 3)
Modifier 3 (Dropdown with Text 1, Text 2, Text 3)
Modifier 4 (Dropdown with Text 1, Text 2, Text 3)
Result
Sheet 2
Contains a set of values (Distance) that correspond to the value of the People dropdown (ie. People 1 = Distance 5, People 2 = Distance 6 and a table that looks like the following:
Mod 1
Mod 2
Mod 3
Mod 4
Text 1
0
0
0
0
Text 2
2
0.5
0.25
0.25
Text 3
7
1.75
0.875
0.875
What I want to happen is that the Result field value on table one is the result of:
Distance*(Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + Modifier 3 + Modifier 4)
For example:
On sheet on I select People = 2, Modifier 1 = Text 3, Modifier 2 = Text 1, Modifier 3 = Text 1, Modifier 4 = Text 1 which I want to result in the following formula:
6*(7 + 0 + 0 + 0)
This might be exceedingly simple, but I just cannot wrap my head around how to do it.

I'm trying to implement this, but am getting a 400 error when this code runs....
Is it possible to loop through a list of sheets and execute some calculations that have sheet references from a different list of worksheets? For example, you have a list (list 1) of your worksheets, which will be the destinations of the calculations, and you have a second list (list 2) of worksheets that the calculations are based on. So, lets say there are sheet1 and sheet2 in list 1, and sheetA and sheetB in list 2. The calculations based on sheetA would appear in sheet1, and calculations based on sheetB would appear in sheet2. I thought the code would look something like this:
Code:
Sub LoopthroughWorksheets()
Dim sheet_name As Range
Dim sheet_name2 As Range
Set sheet_name2 = Sheets("WS").Range("F:F")
[Code] ......
I'm getting a "Run-time error '1004: Application-defined or object defined error" at this line:
Code:
.Range("K1") = .Range("sheet_name2.Value!A14").Value

I want to track winning football teams by highlighting the victor. So lets say I have a cell that contains
Raiders @ Niners

I want to change the code that it will copy based on number. Any suggestions?
Example:

I want to copy files starting with 10989478, 10989495, 10989559. I mean ignore the part after "dot".
what the formula is if I want to hide all rows that begin with: "FORCE-MATCH CANDIDATE" in a specif column. The text after that string varies based on user input.
