Convert IF Functions To IF OR Formulas
Jun 12, 2008
To avoid manually updating a formula 100+ times, I am looking for a way to update cells in a column with reoccuring formulas with references to other cells that vary respectively from cell to cell. Meanwhile, there are other cells without formulas that this will not apply to in the same column. I am trying to avoid macros if possible, unless it can be easily understood/modified by someone who knows next to nothing about macros or VBA. My initial thought was to use the find/replace feature, but I don't know of any way to do this so the reference will update respectively for each cell (ie A9 then A10 etc.) in both the find and the replace fields.
ie
Find: A9="Text1"
Replace: OR(A9="Text1",A9="Text2")
Where the row number updates respectively.
Simplified example:
Existing:
=IF(A9="Text1","1","2")
[misc. blank or non-blank cell]
=IF(A10="Text1","1","2")
etc..................................

how to build and execute formulas and functions. My love for messing with excel started with an interest in personal financial management utilizing amoritzation tables, budget planning, paychecks, tax bases, etc., My wife sees it as strange but I love messing around with the Excel formulas. For now it's all self taught but, as stated, that will be changing.
So far, I haven't been able to find how to execute the following scenario.
For brief background, I'm attempting to identify the results of various outcomes of an individual currency trade by changing the investment size given the results of the last "x" amount of trades. Put another way, I'm running data sets on Forextester wherein I trade a historical period of time on a specific set of currencies, i.e. "Pound/Dollar." I'm wanting to know what the resulting balances would be, or would have been, if I implemented a money management strategy that increased my investment on consecutive trades when there was an "x" number of consecutive "wins" (ending account balance more than beginning) on the previous "x" number of trades. and decreased my investment when there was an "x" number of consecutive losses (ending account balance less than beginning account balance) on "x" number of trades...
So far, I've built the formula so that if I input the beginning and ending balance of a specific trade and Excel populates a "W" or "L" (Win or Loss) in the "Results:" Cell which was pretty simple. The following is one of three scenarios.
Strategy
Conservative:
Start with risk 1% of Account balance (which is $10,000 for example)
The Rule: With each open trade reduce the account balance used by the amount risked on opened trade
(For consecutive trades, assume current trade results in a total loss of investment. Thus, $100.00 of the $10,000 accounts means you're working with $9,900 on next trade)
The Rule: After 3 consecutive winners that make (1.8 * Risk percent used by the trade * account balance used by the trade) or greater in profit, increase risk to 1.5%
First trade Investment: $100.00 plus minimum of 80% gain. Second Trade Investment: $99.00 plus minimum of
80% gain. Third Trade Investment: $98.00 plus minimum of 80% gain. For trade number four, the investment amount would now be 1.5% of the total account balance.
After 1 loss reduce risk to 1%
First Trade Investment $100.00 and you lose - size of loss doesn't matter. Next trade opens with investment of 1%.
After 2 consecutive losses reduce risk to 0.5%
First trade Investment $100.00 and you lose - size of loss doesn't matter. Next trade opens with investment of 1%. Second trade is also a loss. Thus, third trade invests 0.5% of total account balance.
After 4 consecutive losses reduce risk to 0.33%
After 2 consecutive wins that make (1.8 * 0.33%* account balance used by the trade) in profit, reset risk to 1%
(Two wins = 1% investment, regardless of number of previous losses
There are two additional scenarios but they all follow the same pattern. The differences are only in the actual risk percentage. I can modify the formula as needed.

I am currently having trouble with what I thought was a simple IF statement. As you will see from the formula I want to complete a statement for every month of the year but Excel will not let me go past July. Is there a limit to the number of arguments in an IF statement and how do I overcome this? =IF($A$3="Jan'08", SUM(C7),IF($A$3="Feb'08",SUM(C7:D7),IF($A$3="Mar'08",SUM(C7:E7),IF($A$3="Apr'08",SUM(C7:F7),IF($A$3="May'08",SUM(C7:G7),IF($A$3="Jun'08",SUM(C7:H7),IF($A$3="Jul'08",SUM(C7:I7),"n/a")))))))

How can one change the cell values of a worksheet by creating a setup page in another worksheet. Example: the worksheet value is =average(E7, F7, G7, AQ7)*0.6 -- which this formula makes 60% of the average. On the setup page or worksheet I want o change value of *0.6 to say *0.5 for all the cell that has this value. In other words form the setup all the values will change on the related worksheet from the setup page.

If you have a cell with the value ="2*c2+3" NB: (Notice the ""), then to make excel convert the formula in another cell to =2*c2+3 (notice the removal of ""), so that it can calculate the value of the cell instead of showing a textstring?

Assume I have a sheet consisting of 50 rows with 3 columns of figures. A fourth column contains a formula to calculate values, eg A1+B1+C1, on each line/row. I could enter A1+B1+C1 in the first cell and Copy, Paste to the other 49 cells. Alternatively, I replace A1+B1+C1 with a UDF.
Is there any difference in performance with using a UDF compared to using the long-hand/standard approach, or is it just a question of convenience? After all, both are doing the same operation with the same calculation.

All I am doing is counting text values in a table.
The table has 3 main columns(which are relevant to this thread anyway).
Shift - Area - Status
The example I have attached shows examples of DCOUNTA, SUMPRODUCT and a Pivot Table.
I have read many threads stating that the best one to use is Pivot Table followed by DCOUNTA followed by SUMPRODUCT.
The most effective for me seems to be SUMPRODUCT (although this does slow excel down dramatically when you use a lot of these formulas). As do Array Formulas
The Pivot Table does not update on its own, therefore constantly needs to be refreshed. (I could use code to do this)
The DCOUNTA seems to be the least effective at doing what I want (unless I am doing something wrong)
In the attached example can the DCOUNTA be used more efficiently as I don't like the fact that I am duplicating rows to apply the criteria for a different shift. e.g
Area 1 - Late Shift - Banned
Area 1 - Early Shift - Banned
I want my table to be as follows (as the SUMPRODUCT shows)
AREA - Early Shift - Late Shift - Night Shift - Area Total
Area 1
Area 2
Area 3
Area 4
Area 5
Shift Total

I have a really long function which counts the number of unique values in a selected range, and ignores blank cells. The function is like this (only works as an array function):
{=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(A1:A15)>0,MATCH(A1:A15,A1:A15,0),""),IF(LEN(A1:A15)>0,MATCH(A1:A15,A1:A15,0),""))>0,1))}
I want to convert this into a user-defined function COUNTUNIQUE, which only takes one argument: the range (A1:A15 in the above example)

I have a names in column A starting with row 7 as follows:
Walden, Douglas E
Haden, Michael
Wilson, Matt David
I need help with coming up with 3 formulas:
(1) That returns the First, Middle Initial, & Last Name in column P of the same row:
Cell P7 Douglas E Walden
Cell P8 Michael Haden
Cell P9 Matt David Wilson
(2) That returns the First & Middle Initial in colum Q of the same row:
Cell Q7 Douglas E
Cell Q8 Michael
Cell Q9 Matt D
However, I am so new at this, the simpler the formula the better because I want to try & understand it, not just learn it.

I want to create a Macro to convert the formula results from a filtered data range to values. I thought to use a simple code to do the copy - paste to value
Sub QuickSaveValue()
Dim r As Range, c As Range
Set r = Selection
For Each c In r.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)
c.Copy
c.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Next c
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
But is not good because the range is much to large and i need just a filtered part to be changed and i tried like this:
Sub QuickSaveTV()................

Disclaimer: I do not know the correct "lingo" to describe Excel functions and formulas, and I'm not really sure if Excel is capable of doing what I'm proposing, so please bear with me.
I'm not an avid Excel user, but I've got a question on my current problem. I've got a spreadsheet with several columns on it for my retail sales business. The spreadsheet is used to calculate my selling price based on my dealer cost of a unit plus a percent markup.
Currently, the spreadsheet is set up so that the "percent markup" column can be changed so that I can enter, say, 20%, and it will automatically spit out my selling price based on my cost divided by .80(for example).
This works fine, and I like it. However, now I have over 70 different items on the list, and the higher my cost is on an individual item, the lower percent markup I am able to make. So currently, I'm going in manually and entering a different "percent markup" for each item, depending on my cost of the item.
I'd like to learn how to define parameters for the "cost" field that will directly input to the "percent markup" field. For example, I'd like all items that cost me between $2,000 and $5,000 to have a "20" inputted into the "percent markup" field. For items that cost me between $5,001 and $10,000 I'd like to have a "15" automatically inputted into the "percent markup" field, and so on. I'm envisioning a small chart off to the side of the spreadsheet that would look something like this:
Price range percent markup
$2,000-$5,000 20
$5,001-$10,000 15
$10,001-$15,000 14
$15,001-$20,000 13
and so on and so on....
The chart (such as above) would allow me to simply change the "percent markup" inputs and the "price range" inputs at will to allow me to affect my spreadsheet and eliminate the tedious line-by-line insertion of each "percent markup" number by hand.

I have an excel file with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has a column that contains formulas (ie (18299*11151)/20067 ) Those numbers are IDs referencing questions stored in Sheet 2. What I would like to do is find a way to look up those questions and place them into the formula instead of the ID numbers.

I am creating a Macro to convert formulas to values on a Datasheet after each entry from a form (worksheet) is carried over. Since each entry will go on a separate row I created formulas to give the new datas location. I just can't get the syntax correct for it to run.

Range("Reviews!$B$202").Value: Range("Reviews!$AF$202").Value.Select

I'm using Excel 2007 and I'm a VBA novice.
Problem: The macro will be assigned to a command button and will be used by laypersons when they finish filling in data on a worksheet in Workbook 1. The sheet contains maybe 30 columns and 50 rows with a mix of fixed values and values generated by Vlookup and Indirect formulas. I need to copy the sheet from Workbook 1 to Workbook 2. Workbook 2 will be for archival purposes so I want to convert all formulas to fixed values. The catch is dealing with some cells that contain hyperlinks to PDF files...
Current Solution: I currently do this with a macro that moves/copies the sheet from Workbook 1 to Workbook 2, it then selects all cells in the new sheet in Workbook 2, copies all cells, then pastes-special "as values" to the exact same cell locations. This works great for me since the cell formatting and data in the sheet are VERY irregular and I have merged cells all over the place. This method keeps the exact formatting I need maintain:
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Workbooks("Workbook2.xlsx").Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
The problem is that a few of the cells have hyperlinks with "friendly names" and I lose the hyperlinks when I convert to values. The hyperlinks are not inserted directly, they are created by a formula, =HYPERLINK("N:Filepath"&C16&".PDF", "Click_For_PDF"), and the row and column that contains the hyper link will vary for each sheet I want to migrate from Workbook 1 to Workbook 2 using this macro. I want to keep the hyperlink active with the clickable friendly name in Workbook 2.
Possible Solution: I'm open to all types of solutions, but is there a way to essentially use my existing macro but AFTER converting to values with paste-special, go back to the original sheet in Workbook 1 that still contains formulas (or maybe a temporary duplicate sheet I migrate to Workbook 2?), search for all cells with a "value" of "Click_For_PDF", copy ONLY those cells and paste (normal) into the corresponding cell locations in the sheet in Workbook 2 that now contains fixed values? ALL of my hyperlinks have the friendly name "Click_For_PDF" so it should be an easy way to identify the hyperlink cells. The cell location of the hyperlink copied in Workbook 1 needs to carry over to Workbook 2 and I said before, the row and col vary with every sheet I want to archive with this macro.

I am aware of the following topic in the VBA Help file:
"Using Microsoft Excel Worksheet Functions in Visual Basic
You can use most Microsoft Excel worksheet functions in your Visual Basic statements. To see a list of the worksheet functions you can use, see List of Worksheet Functions Available to Visual Basic.
Note Some worksheet functions aren’t useful in Visual Basic. For example, the Concatenate function isn’t needed because in Visual Basic you can use the & operator to join multiple text values."
And I'm aware of how to call Excel funcitons from within VBA; e.g., answer = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(myRange)
However, not only are some Excel functions not useful; the fact is they cannot be used because VBA has a native function that does exactly the same thing and you have to use that native VBA function to achieve your goal. It is these overlapping functions that I am especially interested in. I want to know what I should use directly in VBA and what I need to go to Excel for.

I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292

I'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?

I 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 spreadhseet with various functions on it and what I am trying to do is this.
Cell E4 returns a >35 or <35 true or false value
Cell G4 is either blank or has "Yes" text type into it.
What I am trying to do is get cell F4 to return certain arguments.
E4 = >35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Email Hiring Manager"
E4 = ,35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Wait"
I have a basic IF formula that returns this
=IF(E4>35,"Email Hiring Manager","Wait")
Then if cell G4 is populated with a Yes the formula needs to overwirte the origonal if with the return arguments of
=IF(G4="Yes","Email Agency","Email Hiring Manager")
If yes then what would be Email Hiring Manager (yes will only be input if E4 is greater than 35) will be overwritten with "Email Agency"
Can this be done with two If formulas or does there need to be 3 or more to count if other IF formulas are actually returning a value?
