Creating Variables Based On Cell Location


if Row i Column j is activated then a corresponding variable Aij, Bij, Cij or Dij would be created (if not already existing), or cumulated by 1. The problem as I see it - completely generalised - is to create a variable where the variable name itself is formulaic, as well as its value. I know SAS would have no problem with this due to the order in which it parses data steps, but I'm pretty amateur with other programming languages so I don't know if this is blindingly obvious or downright impossible!

Cell Value Based On Mouse Location
Is there a way to have excel track where my mouse is hovering(say if I have it hovering over cell A4) and have it return the value of A4 in a different cell (e.g B7)?

This would occur in real time - that is, as my mouse moved over the spreadsheet, B7 would update in real time.

Note I would also accept someone selecting the cell - hovering (no select) would be ideal but selecting is OK.

Select A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.

For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).

The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

Creating A Reference To A Workbook With A Fixed Location But With A Changeable File Name
I'm trying take a reference from some workbooks (e.g. WB1.xls,WB2.xls,WB3.xls,...etc)
They are all placed in one folder but there filename is subject to change,

I need to get the result of Cells A1 from WB1.xls+A1 from WB2.xls + A1 from WB3...etc
to shown on AA1 in another workbook(e.g. Collected.XLS)

Is this possible knowing that workbooks filenames are changeable?
Moreover Can the value of A1 from any new workbook added to the same folder be added automatically?...

Can the formula typed in AA1 from Collected.xls be draged down?(So as to show the sum of Cells B1 and C1.....etc) from each workbook?

Auto Creating A Calendar Based On A Date In A Cell.
I am playing around with creating a calendar based on a date (month) I enter into a cell. I am doing this with a simple =date+1.

I have a sample attached. Only problem I am having is that for months with 30 days I don't want the last day to show the first of the next month. But I can't simply remove that as if I entered a month with 31 days I would need it to show the 31st.

Reference Cell Based On Button Location & Determine Button Used
I received this code from an example I found once upon a time that was originally submitted by someone else. Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA.

Sub Process_CheckBox()
Dim cBox As CheckBox
Dim LRow As Integer
Dim LRange As String
LName = Application.Caller
Set cBox = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(LName)
' Find row that checkbox resides in
LRow = cBox.TopLeftCell.Row
LRange = "B" & CStr(LRow)
'Change date in column B, if checkbox is checked
If cBox.Value > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date
'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null
End If
End Sub

Here is some other code I already created. Unfortunately, because I don't know how to do the row reference, I had to create 25 different macros, which just bulks up the size of my file and slows it down. But here is what I'm trying to accomplish in my macro:.............

simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

Find Correct Data Based On 2 Variables
I have a project that looks at a table of train schedules for a range of dates. The data is formated so that arrivals and departures are on the same row but differnent columns. The dates are to the right and the grid is completed with the number of arrivals for a paticular day. I have created a formula that looks at the data and returns the arrival time for that date. It worked fine until the schedule was altered so that the same train could arrive at 2 different times on 2 different dates. So train 976 arrives at 4a on some days and 5a on others. In the example Ihave posted train 976 has 2 passengers arriving at 5a but the formula shows 4a. Is there a way I can have the formula return the correct time based on the day of the month? I should point out that the same problem could exist for departures.

I have tried different ways to use sumif, dsum and if but i am missing the part where the formula sees the column where the number is located then figures out if they are 6100, 6200 and so forth so it can then determine whether to add the adjacent column value. I woulld like for it to be one formula instead of two.

Also, keep in mind that this would be a template (.xlt) for 2003 and all the sheets would be individually locked -- password protected.

Since this form will be filled in by folks that aren't very computer savvy in general, I'm trying to make this as simple/automatic as possible. I myself have a limited toolbox as well. I'm not entirely sure a program would be needed (IF statements in the cells?)

Copy Input Data To Output Table Based On Variables
For what I'd like to do, the attached workbook actually represents 3 worksheet. one input sheet and two output sheets (output1 and output2)

I plan to use command button " CommandButton1" on input sheet to start the calculations

Here's what I want to do after pressing the " CommandButton1" :

1. start with case 1 and find the value of Input A to Input J from input table using Vlookup and paste those values to respective palceholder for inputs in blue colour area above the input table for each input.

2.for empty cell in the input table paste 0 (zero)

3. after this will give results for case 1 inputs on sheets "output1" and "output2" on basis of formulas used for each output

4.then copy the results for case 1 inputs from sheet "output1" and "output2" and paste them on "input sheet " in Output table (its below Input Table) next to case1

5.Do this for all cases (in actual workbook there will be more than 100 cases)

Creating Multiple Workbooks Based On Template

The tab will be named using that person's surname. (I use "find" on the surname and i can locate the particular worksheet).I can add the unique ones as and when needed in each particular sheet, but what i would like to do is to create the first sheet containing all the necessary common cells with a blank cell next to it and then (maybe run a macro?) to create multiple sheets all containing the same info so that with each sheet I only have to fill in the blanks (name,address,age,etc) .

There could be both and arrival and a departure trip at the same time so this would also need to be considered. The sample data shows when passengers arrive and when they are expected to leave. Some will leave the day they arrive some the next day. Ideally I would like to be able to plan the number of trips to the station per day and at what times, whether it was an Arrival, Departure or a combo trip delivering departing passengers and collecting Arriving passengers on the same trip.

2. A housekeeping schedule also needs to be created showing how many rooms need to be available for passengers and at what times. It would also need to indicate if the passenger arrives and departs on the same day or if they stay over.
