Complex Formulas Not Automatically Adjusting When Adding / Removing Rows?
Jul 11, 2014
I have this spreadsheet that I am creating schedules for my employees since our scheduling software at work is horrible to work with. It calculates total hours for each employee at the far right of the rows, and calculates total hours for each day in the columns. The formulas that calculate the hours for each day is set up to automatically deduct 30 minutes from a shift, for lunch, if they're scheduled for more than 5 hours (the gray shaded employee rows are for managers and that only deducts 30 mins if they're shift exceeds 8 hours).
I'm familiar enough to put somewhat complex formulas together, but I don't understand it enough to always make them work correctly. What I'm wanting to be able to do is add or subtract entire rows (add new employees or remove old), and have my formulas for calculating the total hours to still work. Right now if I delete a row the cell with the formula in it says #REF!. I can fix this by going through the formula and manually deleting everything in that contains those other cells, but the formula is huge, and it's pretty tedious going through the whole thing when it feels like there should be a simpler way of doing it.
TLDR: I want to be able to add/remove a row and have my cells currently on row 36 update the formula correctly.
I want to make an excel workbook for a client. What I want to do with it is make a set of instructions telling them to add or insert as many rows in specific categories I have made for them. These options differ depending on the different duties performed. There will be an associated number (value for that duty, ex. duty might be Janitor and the number would be like 5 dollars per hour, so on and so forth), I want to make it to where there is a code that notices more rows and adds more IF statements or whatever statements are needed to keep adding those extra options. These values are connected to a data validation list that drives the if statement.
I have 5 worksheets that I currently have to add information to and cut/paste information from one to another. The initial information stays the same but I have to cut and paste it into one of the other worksheets based on wether or not we; need to decide on a job, are working on the job, lost the job, won the job or the job is complete.
I would like to create one master worksheet where the information can be entered with a drop down cell stating the status of the job (listed above). I created the master tab and linked the 5 subordinate tabs using an IF formula, but how can the subordinate tabs filter or sort the references and organize them on the top of the page rather than leaving a bunch of blank rows (because the info in these blank rows went to a different subordinate tab)? I want to enter the info in the master tab and simply change the pull down cell to change which subordinate tab the information shows up on. This should allow me to print the subordinate tabs as reports without having to manually cut and paste the info or filter it, correct?
I have a table upon which I wish to perform vlookups, however I need to be able to adjust the range that the vlookup searches to include any data that may be added in the future without having to go into the sheets and change the vlookup.
Example
Name DOB Tom 01/01/81 Dick 02/02/82 Harry 03/03/83
if someone then adds
Fred 04/04/84
I would like the vlookup to automatically accommodate the extra entry without needing any changes.
I've seen this done on data validation with the following formula:
I am using the =today() function to places todays date in a cell...how can I get the next to cells to automatically display dates that are 2 months and 4 months later without having to change them manually every day. FWIW, this is for an certification expiration chart.
I have a spreadsheet where I will input details for "incidents" under different headings on one row per entry (I will have a separate tab for each "incident", and each row will relate to each customer affected by this incident)
For every row that is completed I have a "Summary", which is just a section of the same worksheet, that will list all the basic details of the above entries in a format that will be printed and passed to a different department.
As I will be unable to determine whether a particular incident will have 5 entries or 50, I need a way to add a new row to my "Summary" section if and when a row is completed.
I have a formula to populate the data in the "Summary" section automatically, so all I need now is for it to add new rows as and when they are needed, copying the formulas from the original row, so each new "incident" entry is copied each time.
I have created a dummy spreadsheet but I'm not sure how to attach it to this post.
I have a Productivity Report that contains very basic formulas that provide totals for 4 columns (B6:E6) and an average for one column (F). I have included two command buttons, one to add a new row and the other to delete a row.
I need to be able to add or delete rows depending on how many employees' productivity I will be tracking on any given week; each row represents a separate employee. I need the following functionality out of my form:
1) formula in column F needs to copy and paste with each new line 2) when a new line is copied and pasted I need the contents to be cleared 3) I need the user to be blocked from deleting the first row (3 on this form) in the table
The code I'm using for my "Add" button is:
[Code].....
The code I'm using for my "Delete" button is:
[Code] ..... The buttons add and delete rows as I'd like them to but content is not clearing, with each row added the contents provide a sub total. I've tried various lines of code (some more complicated and some less) before I recorded my own macro (see above).
This is for a call centre and sales office. there are 3 tabs. Tab 1 represents the values that we update at the end of each week which then gives a running total over an 8 week period and then an average below. there is a seperate table for each staff member. Tab two is for one team of people and tab two is for the other team. Namely LG team and Sales Team. the tab 2 and 3 are to show league tables that both collect data from tab 1, but then create a league table showing who is top dog over the 8 week period. But this also has to self adjust to be in order.
on tab 2 and 3, the tables on the left will be hidden once complete, but are there to work out the league. the table on the right is then there to put and show the league in the right order. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE, COS EVEN I'M LOST NOW. I've followed previous advice on this and inputted what I think are the right formulas, but for some reason it's coming up with the wrong answers and several names are being repeated which are wrong. For example even when ben perhaps is number 2, it will show rahim as number 2 and number 3. why is this?
also, how do I get by the problem of on the odd occassion when perhaps ben and rahim have the same stats and are joint second, but it will only show ben as 2 and ben as 2 again, leaving rahim out of it. WOW. I'm glad I've got that out of my system. I was doing the washing up yesterday donig Excel formulas in my head. But the washing up got done at least.
I have a data set of 300 points and i want to increase my data range by a factor of 10 .
For example if i have Column A with master points A1=10 A2 = 20 A3 = 30 .
I would like to be able to automatically enter in the same about of new rows between each point . Then calculate there difference between the master points and populate the new rows in sequence . For example The difference between A1 and A2 = 10. So the new A2 would be 11
I would like to have A1=10 A2=11 A3= 12 A3=14 Etc as the new cells.
I'm using a workbook that has one sheet that pulls data from all the others, displaying a series of rows that summarizes data from each worksheet, each of which is full of data. Its a worksheet that a lot of people use so its kind of tedious to use as of now, because whenever you add a new worksheet of data you have to manually create a row and then manually change all the worksheet references. Is there a way to make rows automatically add and update when a new worksheet is added? I know it would probably have involve some sort of Macro or VBA.
Moving Colored Text within a automatically adjusting table containing More Than 3 Colors, from Coloum to Coloum. i have managed to put this little chart together to use on our gaming wedsite but i would like to go one step further with it. may table automatically moves the colums up and down the table as i enter the infomation in to it,, "but" I the colours in the text do not stay the same as they move up and down the coloums. how to make the coloured text keep its colour in the table as it alters its position in the table
I tried to search the forum for my unique problem but had no luck. As you will see attached, I have a series of excel buttons I need to duplicate and have target a different set of cells. I am hoping there is a way to avoid manually doing this.
The goal of the document is to push the button when both colours in the row and column interact (research on birds). There are two additional behaviours with an exact same set of buttons but they need to target "Body Rush" and "Food Displacement" tables underneath. I need all the buttons on one page since multiple behaviours happen simultaneously that need to be recorded.
I have something like 100+ modules in VBA I have created, I am hoping there is an easier way to do this so I don't have to create another ~200 modules in order to get the last two behaviours setup.
I am hoping there is either an easier button system or way to make buttons adjust somehow.
I have a column of data showing trade results - in the most basic way I can explain, as my account value GROWS by a preset amount (say 20-30%) how can I ADD to the number of contracts I am trading. For example I start with $10,000 and the account grows to $12,000 or 20% - according to my own trading rules, this allows me to ADD an additional contract to trade (I start with 1 contract). As the account continues to grow progressively 20% from the previous 20% jump, I add ANOTHER contract.
and to top this off, I do the same in reverse, If I lose or go into a drawdown .. how do I reduce my number of contracts traded?? so lets say I am up to trading 4 contracts and I lose say 10% of the account value - I want to slow down or "ease up" the number of contracts until I get the account back to its previous high. Anyone know how this can be programmed??
One last final caveat - when you go on a winning streak, I add for every 20% INCREASE in the account value and when I lose I reduce contracts at every 10% pullback to preserve winnings as much as possible.but I am ALWAYS allowed to trade a MINIMUM of 1 contract
I want to use 4 toggle buttons to be able to add and remove 4 different series to a chart. When the toggle button is clicked, a specific series is added to a chart, and when it is unclicked then the series would be removed.
The problem I am running into is that unless I add and remove each series in a specific order, I will get an error because I may be trying to remove a series whose series number is not on the series collection in the chart.
for example: if I remove series number 2 with the toggle button for that specific series, then the toggle button for series number 3 will remove the old series 4 (which is now 3), and the toggle button for series 4 won't work because series 4 will now have become series 3.
Therefore, would there be a way to remove a series based on the name of the series, rather than the series collection number?
I have written a short piece of code based on some other posts and for some reason it doesn't work and it's driving me mad. The task seems to be very easy - I'm trying to get rid of some formulas in all worksheets and keep the actual values only. The part that is failing is the following: ws.Range("A1:P31").Select
I have problems with dynamically adding and removing checkboxes. I have a form and there is a button to add more rows to the table. Every row includes a checkbox too.
So first i add a row, and then add a checkbox to a specified cell in that row.There is a button for removing rows as well (witch should removes checkboxes as well).
My problem is when i ad the checkbox the linked cell property only works for the first one.When i add the second row the linked cell of the firstly added checkbox changes to the one in the new row and the new checkbox has no linked cell. I am adding the stuffs as follows:
VB: Private Sub addBtn_Click() Dim y As Integer y = findFunc("end") // Y define where To insert the New row Cells(y, 11).EntireRow.Insert Cells(8, 11).Copy
I'm trying to automatically add and remove one criterion from an autofilter without disturbing the previous existing criteria The autofilter code sounds like this:
How would I go about referring to this array and adding another item called "Hard" to any pre-existing elements in this array?
I plan on attaching this code to a button and use it as a filter, so when the button is pressed, the item will be added to the list of criteria, and if it is "un-pressed" the item will be removed.
how do i add this =LOOKUP((E12+G12),{0,1500,6000,15000,55000;3.4,2.9,2.4,1.9,1.4})%*(E12+G12)+0.2 Into this fomula =IF(AND(E3>0,J3="Yes"),((E3+G3)*3.4%+0.2),0)
I'm tring do a simple formula: =CA3+BP3+BE3+AT3+AI3+X3+M3, but because the cells I am adding have formulas in them already it is returning a error. Can I add them using 'sumproduct' formula, or is there another way?
I would now like to as remove the first column and add another column a and b. A would say "Service From Date" and column B would say "Service To Date" In addition I would like to add a column between "5202 Meals Provided" and "5221 S.A. Facility Lodging" a column that reads "7025 Number of Days Care" and that tallies like the rest of them.
Is there a way I can add formulas dynamically to a sheet using VBA? I need to do cost calculations in the excel sheet for each company defined as an input from the user, so the number of formulas needed will change? Is there a way to write in the formulas to the sheet?
