Creating A Formula With A Variable
Jul 14, 2008
Column A will be completely empty.
When an * is inserted into a single cell in column A, that Row number will become the variable in this equation:
=Sheet1!$G$'variable'
i.e. if i put a * in A14, then the formula should read (=Sheet1!$G$14).

I currently have the below macro:
If Cells(1, 3) = 2 Then
For a = 1 To 336
b = Round(a * 2 + 0.99)
Cells(b + 0, 3) = a
Cells(b + 1, 3) = a
Next a
MsgBox " Cell C1 is not equal to 2"
End If
where the intent is that whatever cell A1 is equal to, that is how many times over it will duplicate a number in consecutive cells before moving to the next number, ie:
1
1
2
2
3
3
etc to 336.
How can I tweak the code so that if I change the data in cell A1 to 9, I don't have to go in and change the macro?

I'm wondering if there's any way to put a variable for a cell address in an external reference formula. Basically, I'm creating an abridged report of customer data that takes a single customer's info from 2 other workbooks on a networked drive and compiles the chosen cell data into one worksheet summary of their info. The base external reference formula looks like this:
='F:Projects[CustomerDB.xls]Sheet1'!VariableCellGoesHere
I want to know if there's a way I can make the formula use a variable cell address that I can just type into another cell to tell it which row I need to grab info from. Generally, all of the customer data I need is spanned across multiple columns in one single row. The formula above appears multiple times in the sheet I'm trying to make. The first is for "Name", the next is for "Address", next is "Phone Number", etc. So for instance, if I want customer data from the main spreadsheet and that customer's info is on row 355, my first few formulas are:
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$A$355
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$B$355
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$C$355
Is there a way I can maybe have a designated cell where I just enter the row number I need (e.g. 481) so the formula sees that number and plugs it into the cell reference above resulting in the formulas adjusting themselves to ='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$A$481?

I am trying to create a matrix in VBA with variable matrix size. The matrix I need will be anywhere from 3 to 9 columns and 15 to 30 rows. I want to set the size as variables and then create the Matrix using these variables, similar to:
rows = 4
columns = 25
Dim XMatrix(rows, columns) As Variant

I'm trying to check to see if a file exists using VBA but the routines I see use a string that has the path and then the file name. I have a fixed path C:VBtesting and the a variable file name. I'm using a file name that consists of a username & date such as cwilliams201212. I'm having problems getting the variable file name into the string.

I am working on a research project of which details cannot be disclosed. I basically have many worksheets which each contain 3D positional data and I am plotting overlaid graphs using multiple worksheets. I have gotten them to work where I manually enter the names of the worksheets, but I am trying to use the CELL("filename") command to get the current worksheet's name, then using a substitute command to change certain fields, then I would like to use the string name created by those functions to call a global variable in another worksheet which defines a range. I will try to give an example.
Say I have 3 worksheets for arbitrary measurements:
1) filename 1mm
2) filename 2mm
3) filename 3mm
I would like to graph all 3 sets of data in worksheet "filename 1mm", using the fact that everything in the filenames are the same except for the 1/2/3mm part. I have a template of which I will be copy/pasting data from numerous data sets and then each worksheet has defined names "X_vals" and "Y_vals" which give me dynamic ranges for the data I wish to plot from that worksheet.
When I type the names manually--i.e. " 'filename 2mm'!X_vals" everything works fine, but when I try to create the exact same string dynamically using indirect/substitute/left/right etc, it does not let me do it. I am able to create a dynamic string with a range, such as " 'filename 2mm'!C10:C100" but then when I change it to " 'filename 2mm!X_vals" it just gives me #REF!.
I guess my question is just is there any way to use the indirect function to create a string name dynamically which references a defined name in another worksheet? If not possible with just simple excel functions, is there a way to do this with a macro? I am not exactly familiar with VBA in excel, though I know how to run macros.

how do we do something like Range("A1:B2") using an index for the cells. For example Range(R[0]C[0]:R[i]C[j]) which doesn't work. I know about Cells(i,j), but that only returns a range object of a single cell.

Is it at all possible to create a User Form where the number of CheckBoxes will be linked to the number of entries in a cell range?
For example I have a 3 records in the range A:A called "Blue", "Green", "Yellow". I want to have a user form with 3 CheckBoxes with the same caption names.

I have a strange problem I cannot solve in that I'm trying to create an auto filter that returns records based on a date variable.
If I set the code to equal the date variable, it returns information. If I set the code to return records AFTER the date, it returns nothing.
Code to return records on the date:
Dim startdate As Date
startdate = Format((Now), "dd/mm/yyyy")
ActiveSheet.Range("A:B").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & startdate
This returns data, however if I slightly amend it to get records on or after the date:
Code:
Dim startdate As Date
startdate = Format((Now), "dd/mm/yyyy")
ActiveSheet.Range("A:B").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=">=" & startdate
It returns nothing. Is there a syntax problem in my code.

I am trying to creat an IF formula for a spread sheet I am working on with information from Bloomberg. I am referencing sheet one to sheet two so I have that forumula in, but in some of the cells this symbol #N/A N.A. appears because some of the information is not available on Bloomberg. How can keep the referenc formula but also include a formula that basically says if #N/A/N.A. symbol appears to replace it with just NA.

I'm trying to make my life a little easier at work. Here is what I am trying to do. I'm trying to create a "calculator" that will tell me the date that a client will leave my program. I understand that I can simply do xx/xx/xxxx-15 and it will get me a new date, easy. Here is the kicker...My office only utilizes 30 day calendars. Regardless if the month has 28 or 31 days, in the eyes of my agency it will have 30.
i'm been trying to mess around with it for 3-4 days now and I can't quite figure it out. I have attached a sample spreadsheet what i'm i'm trying to do.
I would eventually like to create this to be a little interactive (like a pop up or something that is more user friendly) but i'm just itching to get it to work!

I have the records of a local angling club going back to 1932 and these records include the results of fishing matches matches held through that period. I want to analyze the catches of those matches in order to identify any trends that may exist on the river that those matches were fished and although I am reasonably computer literate I have never needed to use spread sheets.
If the data from those records were in metric measurement it would be no problem but they are in what I would refer to as Imperial measurement.
In other words they use measures in weight based on Pounds, Ounces and Drams.
There are 16 Drams in an Ounce and 16 Ounces in a Pound.
The software that is on my computer is Microsoft Excel Version 5.0c

Basically I have a web page that I want to access with a command button http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KVTN/2009/3/28/DailyHistory.html
The only problem is that the address is date specific - the blue numbers and probably every time that I use the command, it will be a different date.
I used this formula
="http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KVTN/"&TEXT(R2,"yyyy/mm/dd")&"/DailyHistory.html"
and it gives me the right web address, I just need to figure out how to make it hyperlink to that web page and then use the command button to activate the hyperlink
This is the first time I have tried to hyperlink to a web page and am lost

I am in the process of creating a template in excel with certain restrictions on the information that can be added to it. I've hunted several sites and forums to try and find a solution but find it difficult to see the best ones for my project. The template is roughly made up of say 10 references to large boxes, each box can hold smaller boxes. The smaller boxes vary in size. For example the large box is 60 inches long smaller boxes vary between 20 inches and 40 inches, can excel be made to tell me an error if i try to put 2 x 40 boxes in columns refering to 1 of the larger boxes as it exceed the maximum length of 60 inches?

I am trying to create a formula by comparing data in columns on a separate tab.
Basically, I want to take the value of one cell in the primary tab, find the matching value in a column on another tab, then once it is matched, pull in the data from another cell in the second tab on the same row of the matched data.

I have been trying to create a formula that will save me DAYS of messing around at work.
What I am trying to achieve is to have a sequence of numbers as follows:
BNA01A01 to BNA01A09 then have it change to BNA01B01 to BNA01B09.
This needs to be repeated for all letters to BNA01I09.
Then this sequence needs to be repeated to BNA12.
The last thing is for me to be able to change the formula in order to implement the same sequence on a separate sheet for BNB01A01 - BNB12I09 to BNL01A01 - BNL12I09

I need creating a formula for the following situation.
I need to link multiple arrays from different sheets. But am having a hard time concocting a formula that will work.
I have 2 columns of data on sheet1. For example:
A-------------B
apples-----1245
oranges----456
nuts--------384
etc.
Now, I need a formula that will sum the entire column B, by looking up the array of column A on another sheet and only summing the numbers on sheet 1 that also have a value of "West" on sheet 2. Sheet 2 looks like this:
A-------------B
apples------West
oranges-----East
nuts---------West
This needs to be functional as a template to be used each month - the entire point of the formula is to save time and eliminate the current (and lengthy method that is in use). I can tweak the formulas as needed. But am trying to avoid having to concatenate anything or do any modifications to the format of the sheets.

I have a formula which looks in a folder for a file and returns the cell I want from that folder and work book
='H:NCHOCall CentreCall Centre ResourcingStats[NHC_Telephony_Daily_2012-11-27.xls]NHC Daily'!$E$55
as you can see I have a date in the middle, I want it to reference to a cell with a date in and return the information from that document with the change in date. So all I have to do is drag the formula down and it will return the info i want out of each report.I think it might be an add on that I need to download?

I am creating a report and I am using the following Formula with condition.
(IN Q2 in the file attached)
=IF(P2="","Enter New to IMP check Date",DATEDIF(P2,C2,"d"))
Where in P2 is the START Date and C2End date.
P2 = 01 Jan 13
C2 = 10 Mar 14
When I apply the DATEIF formula its ignoring the year differ ace and give a result of 8 days not sure whats wrong here as the "Y" & "M" function works correctly and give proper result.
