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$2 for the absolute reference, but then i would manually have to change the reference on each cell.
SO - (finally the question) Is there a way to use the absolute reference without having to manually enter it into each cell?
I have this fairly simple formula which decides whether to shade a cell or not
=AND($X$1<>"TBD",R3<>"None",AC3="Y")
This is set in cell R3 and I want to copy it all the way down the cells in the R column. However, when I copy & paste (and copy and paste using paste special, formatting) the R3 and AC3 cell references do not update to match their relevant rows. eg If I highlight cell R26 the conditonal formatting formula still refers to cell R3 and AC3, not R26 & AC26. I'm using Excel 2010 but I don't recall this happening in 2003.
I am creating a spreadsheet which creates a bulk of data from a front sheet.
The question is: Is there a way to automatically copy a fixed formula for 100 cells using one fixed cell reference such as $A$1 and then automatically after 100 cells replace $A$1 with $A$2, after another 100 with $A$3 and so on?
Explanation with Example:
For example, Sheet1 contains the words "Green Tree" in Cell A1 and Sheet2 will then place "Green Tree" into 100 different sentences such as:
Plant a Green Tree Grow a Green Tree today
This would be created with the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$1& " today"
After 100 different variations using the formula I want to change that formula to reference cell A2 on Sheet1.
I know if I place "Red Tree" in Cell A2 and use the formula ="Grow a "&'Sheet1'!$A$2& " today" I can do this manually using find and replace for the 100 cells, but I want to do this for 100 different variations of Green Tree to create a 10,000 different sentences so I'd need to find and replace 100 times!
How do I copy an absolute cell reference from say a1 to a2 -100 so that the row reference increments with each row. Without the absolute cell reference '$' it works Ok. But with it every cell is the same as a1?
I have copied over a row of $, ($) amounts from one worksheet to another. I am trying to make the amounts I copy over past in absolute values. Is there a way to do this? Below is the current code:
'copying over the Amount in Local Currency ST Reclass Sheets("Recon_ST").Select Range("S9").Select Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.Copy Sheets("ST Journal entries").Select Range("J2").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues Application.CutCopyMode = False
I am using the following formula to copy the name of the tab - =MID(CELL("filename",C26),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,6)
I have a marco that creates a tab from a Master file, and I need to copy the name of the tab into cell A2, using the formula above. Then I use a vlookup on this cell, to get the data needed for about 10 other fields. I have these vlookups in the Master file. The vlookup doesn't work all the time. I get a #NA answer. Sometimes it does work. When I manually type in the project number on the tab, the vlookups work.
Sample of the vlookup: =VLOOKUP(A2,'AC-Program'!$A$1:$H$58600,2,0)
I was trying to find a way to use a value in cell A2 instead of the formula above, but I don't want to have to manually update it, I need it to be generated when the Marco generates the tabs.
Here is my macro:
Sub CreateSheetsFromAList() Dim ws1 As Worksheet Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Master")[code]......
Is there a way to add this function into this macro, and it will leave this field as a value instead of a formula?
I need a macro to do this small task for me. Preferably it should execute when I have selected a cell and press a command button. Here's the way it should work:
I have spread sheet with food items listed. there are subcategories [i.e. bread items] followed by a list of items. then another category, and so on. i have a vlookup formula in the "non category merged cells' "BAKERY" is merged to create headerlike divisions. is there a way to keep the headers and copy the vlookup formula "through" the headers and leave the headers the way they are? i'm not very optimistic but you guys rule!

I'm working on my first real macro - so I'm a greenhorn. I've spent a few hours trying to research a solution, but most threads are too technical for me so I'm hoping someone can really help me out.
I am trying to use a formula that references a cell that changes day to day from when I use the macro. I need to use a formula which grabs from a cell in a non concrete location. Let me try and show you what I mean.
I have written some VBA code that is functional, but yields a formula that is somewhat confusing to the user.
I have two string variables called TippityTop and Anchor, both of which refer to specific cell addresses in the R1C1 style.
I attempted to define other variables that reference cells that are offset from TippityTop and Anchor without using the ActiveCell route. Try as I might, I could not produce the cell addresses that I wanted these new variables to reference.
I consulted many Excel Help screens and referred to a book on Excel VBA, but I finally took another route.
I now have:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "=IF(AND(ISNA(MATCH(RC[-2],OFFSET(" & TippityTop & ",1,-2):OFFSET(" & Anchor & ",-2,-2),0)>0),ROUND(RC[-1],2)0),""DOV not in Treasury"","""")"
The problem is that this code yields this formula in Excel:
=IF(AND(ISNA(MATCH(L587,OFFSET($H$585,1,-2):OFFSET($H$798,-2,-2),0)>0),ROUND(M587,2)0),"DOV not in Treasury","")
Rather than OFFSET($H$585,1,-2):OFFSET($H$798,-2,-2), I would like the formula to say F586:F796, so that the end user can easily understand the logic.
The formula looks like this =B7/B5 Now when I drag it to the box below I get =B8/B6 But I need the numerator to increment and the denominator to stay the same. So that it would look like this =B8/B5
I have a simple count formula which is suppose to be absolute. =COUNT($L5:$V5) and works till I add a column via a macro. Macro adds a new column at column M then inserts data. My problem is when I check the formula after macro it changes to =COUNT($M5:$W5) I thought using the $ sign means Don't change?
I have a below formula which extracts the v and number attached to it I would like to copy this across all columns and change row for each column. So for example 1st column reference will be B4, the second column would have a reference B5 and so on, it's probably worth to mention that cells I am referencing to are in other sheet hence why there's Ref! before B4 is this why absolute column and relative row not working?
For some reason Absolute $ or INDIRECT is not working inside my formula when I add a row to my chart. Formula keeps adjusting.
Here is my formula...=IFERROR(LARGE(IF($B$5:$B$50=$K108,$A$5:$A$50),1),"")
$B$5:$B$50 goes to $B$6:$B$51 AND $A$5:$A$50 goes to $A$6:$A$51..... it can't do that, throws my counts out, needs to stay in this range B5:B50 and A5:A50 when I add a row to chart
I am using this formula to calculate a column of numbers that are both negative and positive numbers. =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$5:$A$9647<=TODAY()),--($A$5:$A$9647>TODAY()-365),$C$5:$C$9647). I need to keep this formula the same where it will calcuate on a rolling 365 day but I need the total to be only the absolute value (abs).
I need to calculate the absolute week and have found a formula to do so. Is there a way to embed/execute this in VBA?
TRUNC(((StartDate-DATE(YEAR(StartDate),1,0))+6)/7) where StartDate is the date which you are trying to find the corresponding week number (for example Now().
using a macro im trying to paste in a sum formula, however this will be pasted onto different sheets and the number of records will be different for each so i cannot use absolute locations. the only constant is that all ranges will start in row I9. when it runs the following code
it fills in =SUM('I8':I13) how can i make it insert it without the ' ' around the I9? and how can i select the two cells? (again, cannot be absolute..)
I am migrating a bookkeepping spreadsheet from Quattro v12 (c2001) to Excel 2007 and have hit a stone wall over relative 3-D references.
In this workbook each sheet holds data for one month, and this includes some lagging-12-month calculations -- that is, summing a range on a single cell for the preceding 12 sheets (including this one).
Unexpectedly, this formula: =ISUM('201206:201305'!M6)
gives absolute references, even though I put in no dollar signs after the sheet names. This means it gives the wrong answer when copied to the next sheet to start a new month.
I can find no reference at all to converting the above formula from absolute to relative reference.
Is there a way that formula links in spreadsheets can use environment variables to reference formulas in other spreadsheets/addins?
For example, I have a spreadsheet that imports templates which call functions in an addin. The spreadsheet, templates and the addin could be installed into either the 'Program Files' or the 'Program Files (x86)' folders.
I am experiencing issues with the formula references when moved between 32 and 64 bit computers since Excel seems to store the full path of the addin in the Excel formula (even though it hides it when the reference resolves its path) in my templates. I would like to update the references in my templates so that they use an environment variable (set by my software installer) to always know the correct path of the addin.
In Excel 2003, spreadsheet links are edited via: 'Edit'->'Links' In Excel 2007 and higher,'Data'->'Edit Links'
how to get either the absolute row or the absolute column of a cell.
Suppose the active cell is H27. If we use:
ActiveCell.Address we will get $H$27
How can we get either $H or $27 only assigned to a variable let it be MyVar.
Please keep in mind that converting the $H$27 to a string and then making string manipulations is not accepted, unless of course it's the only way to go.
Also it would be nice if I get answers on how to get the relative address column/row portions only, too. Like H or 27.
Another tip is that using .Column returns a number, not a letter.
I am currently working on a data analysis project (data mining) and need to collect and later analyze statistics for the inputs which control a series of calculations. These statistics are shown in the Statistics 1, Statistics 2 and Statistics 3 cells in the workbook that I attached. The inputs are X,Y; all possible values for these inputs are listed in the N,O columns. Basically I need a macro which would take the values from these two columns and place them pair after pair into the controlling cells (K3, L3), then it would copy cells H2 through L3 (updated stats) to a new sheet after each copy operation - so that I will finally have a list of statistics for all of the input pairs.
I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.
I want a formula in Cell A6 (and I already know it correctly works) in this format: =E6&VLOOKUP(I6,'FA-Fund Data'!B$1:C$2000,2,FALSE)&J6
i have two excel files which are data and master..both files will be use for salary calculating.. the vlookup formula will be use in master files for dragging the salary data from Data files..the formula as follow VLOOKUP(B4:B225,'D:Salary[Data.xls]AUG'!A$1:F$65536,6,FALSE))
the vlookup working fine to me.. but my problems is i want the data to be auto calculated when they have same value in two columns.. or if the name is similar/match in two columns (one for salary and another one for overtime), the salary should be auto calculated.
Data files will contain of these: a:Employee ID b:employee name c:Employee salary/Overtime
Master files will contain of these: a:Employee ID b:Emplyee Name c:Employee Nett Salary (that will be dragging from Data files)
is there any formula that i can used to combined with my vlookup formula?
