I am trying to create a custom function to act much like the database capabilities of excel in summing a column based upon multiple criteria of other columns. First, before I get too far, does anyone have an already built custom VBA function that will accomplish this? I find that using the built-in database functionality in excel is VERY slow!
Anyways, I am trying to pass an argument that contains multiple ranges (much like you can do with the SUM() function):
The first set of arguments is the ranges that I need to look through. The second set of arguments is the values that I need to search within the first two ranges. The third argument is the column that I need to perform a SUM function on.
Instead of doing this, how can I create a function that will allow me to say, "Add another criteria range/value" and it will add another criteria to the list. I am currently passing a string, and that is not ideal, obviously.
I want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.
I have done this and it looks nice and works well. What I would like to be able to do is have my custom toolbar of userform controlled functions be transferable so that if someone else wants my toolbar and attached functions they can install it easily much the same way you can do with an add in.
Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?
I am writing some custom functions to be saved in an Add-In file, but am having trouble saving named ranges. I would like named ranges in the Add-In file to be available in other spreadsheets. Is there a way to do this? Or is there a way to take a range from Excel and save it into a globally available named range using VBA?
I have an entire excel column which was filled-in with values ranging from 1000 to 40000. What I was trying to do is to just sum up the all the values which are between 9000 and 20000. I tried using the sumif function =sumif(and(A5:A40,">9000"),(A5:A40,"<20000")) but it does not work, it says that the formula that I typed contains an error.
I have created some user defined functions and have associated them to a custom category. To simplify things, I wanted to add these functions and the custom category macro to an Addin I already have installed for all my employees. How do I get the the custom category macro to excecute? It should run as soon as excel is opened...but I am not sure what event should be used and where is it installed?
I have a block of data spread across 5 columns (A-E)
Data in column A is unique to each row . Data in Column B is a name (text) that repeats occasionally, C, D, & E are numbers.
I would like some formula or macro that will detect duplicates in column B and sum the corresponding data (in columns C,D,E). I am not sure how to work the sumif function (assuming that is what will work in this case).
Now the tricky part is that I want the count of how many times names in column B occured to appear in column F.
Basically I would a new block of data with B,C,D,E and F as an output.
Recently I found this forum through a Google search along with the perfect solution to a problem I was having finding and replacing text based on a table of replacement values. Here is the thread:
Multiple substitute or replace text using a table
I incorporated the SuperSub function that steveorg developed as a result of that thread into my worksheet by creating a new module and pasting the following code into it:
Function SuperSub(OriginalText As String, rngOldText As Range) Dim cel As Range Dim strOldText As String, strNewText As String ' loop through list of old_text used in substitute For Each cel In rngOldText.Cells strOldText = cel.Value strNewText = cel.Offset(0, 1).Value OriginalText = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(OriginalText, strOldText, strNewText) Next cel SuperSub = OriginalText End Function
It works like a charm as a formula, but I also have a macro in the same workbook that, as soon as it selects the sheet with the formula, calls the SuperSub function and starts executing the code as a macro (even though there is no call to this routine in the macro). The macro ran just fine before incorporating the function into my worksheet.
The formula looks like this: =TRIM((supersub( UPPER(E2),rngSubst))) If cell E2 contains the string "101 North Main Street, Apartment 5", it would return "101 N MAIN ST APT 5"
Here is the macro:
Sub Import() ' Sheets("Shoebuy FTP").Select Range("A2:R200").ClearContents 'This is where it jumps to Function SuperSub(OriginalText As String, rngOldText As Range)
The function runs for every occurrence of the formula in the worksheet, and when it is finished, all of the cells containing that formula show a value of "#VALUE!". I should mention that it does not change the formula at all, but I then have to highlight each cell that contains the formula, press <F2> to edit, then <ENTER> to get it to display the correct results again.
It is probably some stupid little thing that I didn't do when I created the function, but I can't figure it out. I have written numerous macros, but this is the first time I have ever created a custom function.
I am trying to create a custom button in Excel that will sort on two different columns. One column has $ Sales and the other has Unit Sales. So you can click on the button and it will sort by $ Sales and if you click the same button again it would sort by the unit sales. I'd also like the text on the button to reflect what option the data would be currently sorted by. I am able to do one of these macros and assign it to the button, but can't figure out how to get both sort options assigned to the same button. I have had outside people send spreadsheets to me with this but can't figure out how they did it.
In sheet1 I have name(column A) and value(column B) In sheet2 I have name (column C) and key(column D) In sheet 3 I have results
Example ( It is just a total nonsense example, the real data is net inflow of some funds that are unique) Sheet1 House 1000 Car 1500 pet 2000 Sheet 2 house1 car1 pet2
So in the sheet 3 I want to put a formula that is capable to sum all values of the sheet2 if the name has a key of 1in the sheet2, the key columns has values of 1 or 2
I think in SQL will be something with join and group by with having clause.
The result will be 2500 in the sheet 3.
What I tried: My attempt is to do something like this code ( using array functions).
I have this excel file with some functions inside a Pivot Table, which use a year value as filter (the value comes from a report filter field) and data from a different spreadsheet to calculate a percentile value ... I created custom functions to replace the excel functions, passing the values as parameters.. The problem is now that when we refresh the connection (Refresh All button under DATA tab) the cells that contain the values returned by the custom function lose those values (go blank) In order to get the values I need to select the filter value again, while when I was using the normal PERCENTILE function the values would always refresh normally
Now... I think the problem might be related to the fact that the spreadsheet in question calls 5 different custom functions at the same time.... and, those 5 function call another at least two more helper functions... so, maybe this recurrence in calling the functions is causing the thing to break up
Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? Maybe put some flag or something that will cause the functions to be executed one by one, and not all at the same time?
I have a spread sheet that contains many user defined functions from a 3rd party provider that downloads financial data from an external database. Often not all of the data is required by the user, and as the UDF's take a long time to calcuate, i'd like to provide the ability to easily switch them on and off. Originally I had been looping through cells and either adding an apostrophe in front of the = or removing it. However running this loop is very slow.
I found this thread (Optimize VBA Loop For Inserting Formula) and adapted it to convert formula strings (with ' in front) to formulas in a single pass by setting:
myRange.formula = myRange.value. This works very well. I can't, however, work out how to go back the other way in a single pass. Have tried: myRange.formula = "'" & myRange.formula. This works for individual cells, but not for more than one at a time.
SUMIF and SUMIFS formula, where in I want to set criteria in the formula as greater than or less than or equal to value derived from another formula. I am inserting the following formula but excel is not allowing me to enter the formula.
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.
I need to perform 2 SUMIF's on 2 columns of data to return a result and I'm not quite sure the best way of doing this. I'll give an example below.
I have 2 columns of data, both numeric and the SUMIF needs to say if H1:H100="10" and also if J1:J100="907". I can perform one or the other but not both.
I'm trying to put together a spreadsheet that tracks disc capacity increases, affected by any incoming projects. I've managed to do so for one project, but would like to for up to 10. The way i've designed the solution (i'm sure there are far more elegant ways, but hey) is thus:
A forecast worksheet keeps track of a grand total, taking information from sheets P1 -> P10 (being projects 1 to 10). I am unable to figure a way to add up all the increases from all 10 project worksheets with one succinct formula. What I use so far is: ='P1'!C83+SUMIF('P1'!E82,"=2009 - Q1",'P1'!D82) ..................
For the odds range, i have already two cells(the upper(F9) and the lower(E9)) and i have a cell named the current odd(G9). What are the formula together for the attribut cell(H9) for the following data:
1.0 : The current price is outside and below the odds range spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.0 if the current price is below 2,00 NOTE: Obviously the formula for this one is =IF(G9
1.1 : The current price is on the bottom edge of the “odds range” figure. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.1 if the current price is 2,00 NOTE: The formula for this one would be =IF(G9=E9,1.1)
1.2 : The current price is inside the “odds range” spread and is placed one or two clicks from the bottom edge. For example if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.2 if the current price is 2,02 or 2,04 NOTE: I have a hard time creating a formula with this one.
2.0 : The current price is outside and above the “odds range” spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 2.0 if the current price is above 2,20 NOTE: The formula would be =IF(G9>F9,2.0)
I'm essentially trying to place a column that is largely based on another....a function that will calculate the following information
Carriers with 1 Vehicle - 25.00 Carriers with 2-4 Vehicles - 100.00 Carriers with 5-9 Vehicles - 200.00 Carriers with 10-24 vehicles - 400.00 Carriers with 25-49 vehicles - 750.00 Carriers with 50+ vehicles - 1500.00
In other words.
One column in my spreadsheet has number of vehicles. I want another column that will provide the according application fee as found in the information above.
I've tried many variations but I can't seem to find a solution - I hope you can help. I'd like a formula that will ideally achieve the following:
IF B5:F5 all contain the letter y then return "Pass" IF B5:F5 AND G5:K5 all contain the letter y then return "Merit" IF B5:F5 AND G5:K5 AND L5:K5 all contain the letter y then return "Distinction" IF B5:F5 is blank return blank IF there are Y's in B5:F5 and the total < 5 return "Fail"
I did a sample sheet to show the desired output but don't know if this forum supports attachments.
I have two spreadsheets (the samples for which I have shown side by side in Sheet 1 of the attached file).
Spreadsheet 1 is about 30,000 rows and too large for me to change the formatting and structure.
Spreadsheet 2 is the output I need and the format is required by other stakeholders.
In spreadsheet 1 I want to sum quantity in stock for Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 for each product and allocate it to spreadsheet 2 according to the month in which the product expires. For example, there will be a total of 92 units of product 413302 which will expire in Nov, 2014. Therefore I want 92 to be placed in cell N6 of Spreadsheet 2.
Unfortunately the product number is not unique - there are multiple sub products in spreadsheet 1 but they all have the same quantities of stock. The sub products are referenced in other parts of the report so I can't consolidate by Product Number. This also prevents me from using the SUMIFS function as it will duplicate the number found in the sub products.
What I need, perhaps in a combination of functions, is to find the first instance of product 413302 in Spreadsheet 1 that is expiring in Nov 14, sum the product types and give the result in cell N6 of Spreadsheet 2.
Is there a way to SET a RANGE that can be used for further editing without the need to specify the range each time for each function to be perfomed? I have a pile of Data, with a Calendar date and 4 columns of data for each date.
I want to make a summary for each year separately of one column of data (Total PL). How can I set a condtion that it will output a summary of data for a given year, e.g. 1990?
Even more useful might be setting up a table for each year, where I will be able to perform easy function like SUM, MAX, MIN but it will use data only from the specific Year in each row. - Is there a way to make it simpler, but not having to specify the RANGE for each Year for each Function?
* I have a complex Excel workbook with several worksheets.
* The first worksheet is for raw data, which consists of a single string of data, separated by spaces, to be uploaded to a mainframe. There is no consistent pattern of length of data or strings in between pieces of data, which can vary widely. An example of the data would be something like this:
XXXXX YYYYY NN XXXXXXX
* For testing purposes, I need to come up with a way to parse the data for easier viewing. The current approach is this:
* Take the string and divide it up into individual cells by using the MID function. In the above approach, this would split the data into four (4) different cells.
This is going to be a very complex workbook with data strings that can have 20+ elements in them, and have lots of separate records, etc. While this way should work (if everything is entered perfectly and no data structures ever change, etc.),
I am trying to somehow use multiple IF functions. I was able to use one IF function to disply '--' in a cell if a particular formula = 0. However I ran into a problem when negative values were displayed. I wanted the value to be a positive number. I thought I could use another IF function to multiply the formulas contents by -1 if it were <0, but I keep getting a #VALUE error in my cells. Is there a way I can have multiple conditions?
I have a spreadsheet using Data Validation to offer a list of text values for cells in the range E6 - E100. I have a worksheet change funtion to change the colour of the entire row based on the text chosen from the list.
What I would like to add is an input box that will appear when the value in the cell = "COMPLETE" asking for a completion date and adding the inputted date to the cell in column I in the same row.
Existing Worksheet Change Code;

I need to create a formula that counts the number of times that an age range appears within a column. In column G, there is a list of ages based on a demographic collection. The ages range from 13 to 50+. I want to designate another cell to count the number of times the characters between 13 and 18 occur within that column. I have =COUNTIF(G8:G20,"13") How do I add "14", "15", "16", "17", and "18"?
I have multiple IF functions in a formula and found out that the maximum allowed is 7 and should use Lookup instead. The formula is to calculate the Present Value of an amount with the corresponding interest rates and number of days left.
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")))))))
