Dependency Formulas For Task Worksheets
Sep 2, 2008
I am trying to build a worksheet that is sort of a Project Plan. Why am I not using Project - simple - not everyone in my company has Project, and exporting in Project 2007 is just nasty!
The issue can be described with a simple example:
Imagine the sheet with the following columns
Task Ref - Task Description - Dependency - Start Time - Duration - End Time
Duration is in Minutes, End time is calculated as a formula adding the Duration to the start time using the TIME function.
Dependency contains the Task Ref of the task that must complete before the task in question can start. I would like to have a formula for start time, that pulls in the value for end time of the task identified in the Task Ref column -

I am trying to do the following: I want to replace the values in A1:A3 with "0" and clear the contents of B1:B3 for all worksheets that contain "ILA" in the worksheet name. Is there a simple way to do this or another thread that already answers this question? I tried to search on the internet but found nothing useful. Here is a sample file (NOTE: there are no macros in this workbook even though it is saved as an .xlsm).
Clear and replace macro on multiple tabs.xlsm

I have an excel document that is processing some amount of data and turn it into daily reports. After I make a report I use macro to separate it from the document into a new sheet and save it separately.
The problem is those separate reports still remain dependent on the main excel document where they were created. As the data changes in the mother excel file, it updates all the old reports on the computer and basically I loose the old data.

I've been struggling with dependencies, so I have two sheets.. the first sheet contains a simple table:
EmployeeUsernameStatusStatus Note
Alex
Josh
Sarah
David
This is the second table:
Employee Username ActivePassword Change Days Since Change
Alex al2 Y Y 20
Alex alex Y Y 11
Alex aa2 N N 0
Josh josh2 Y Y 10
Sarah ssarah N N 0
Sarah sarah Y Y 1
David David Y Y 4
The problem is in the first table as I don't know how to populate the "Status Note" column which depends on these two columns The column Username which is a dependent list from table 2 that contains the username associated with each employee selection The column Status which is a dropdown list that contains (Active, Password Change, and Days Since Change)
For example if the following is selected for user Alex: al2 and Active how can I make Excel display Y in the status note column
EmployeeEmployee UsernameStatusStatus Note
Alex al2 Active Y
Josh
Sarah
David

I have written a custom function to be called from worksheet cells. The function is basically a wrapper function for VLOOKUP on a single table. It makes cell formulas shorter, easier to read and self-documenting. Here's a much simplified version of the function:

I have written code that puts the actual formula into a specified cell via vba, i can obviously put the formula into a specific cell in the normal manner, but can you use something like "if" or "search" formulas directly in VBA without having to place the formula in a cell, just the outcome?

I use excel 2003 SP3. I've created invoices that have several (very basic), but different formulas in the last column of the worksheet. I have the same customers every month so I use the same monthly workbook for all invoices. Since each invoice has the same formulas, in the same cells, I used the SHIFT key while selecting the entire range of worksheets (invoices). After they have been selected, I entered the SUM formula in a cell so it would automatically be entered in all of the worksheets (invoices).
When I select the same cell in all the worksheets (invoices) I can see that the formula is there. However, when I enter a value that the formula should be adding, it doesn't. But if I select the cell with the formula in it, the formula shows in the formula bar. When I put my cursor at the end of the formula and hit ENTER, the formula then works. So I have to select each formula, in each cell, on every worksheet, hit ENTER, and then, if I need to change a value, I have to repeat the process. I am definitely missing something, and I'm sure it's quite obvious and simple.

To start, have 1 sheet with approx 25 columns of data and i need one column to check 3 others + another sheet to complete its fields.
In column M i need to enter some prices from another worksheet (tag name 'prices') but these prices depend on whats completed in the fields in columns L, T & V.
Column L has fields completed with eg. Houses, Offices, Warehouses
Column T has some fields completed with eg. B1, D, E (these are just zonal refs)
Column V has some fields completed with numbers 1,2,3
Prices worksheet has 4 columns
A = Property (same heading and fields completed as Column L on first worksheet)
B = Standard Price (this has prices in fields that correspond to the properties in A above)
C = Cresta Price (same description as above)
D = Wind Price (same description as above)
I need column M (blank fields) to look at L (heading 'property') then add in Standard Price from B (worksheet prices) then check to see if any fields are completed in Columns T & V and if they are then it needs to addon the prices from either columns C or D from Prices worksheet.

I was kindly provided with a formula from this forum a few months ago (in the attached workbook) to calculate the area under the curve of strings of data of varying length (i.e. different number of rows) these strings of data are aligned with a timeline (providing the Y and X axis for the curve respectively). The formula is able to calculate the area under these curves without the need for adjustment to the number of rows of the dataset.
However I have now tried to copy this formula to a new datasheet with a different total number of rows and a timeline fixed (of different intervals) in column A (rather than moving for each string of data) and I am receiving a #N/A error. I am sure that I have copied the formula correctly. Can anyone help fix my formula so that it calculates area under the curve again? I would like it to calculate the area under the curve for the data in the same column but using the fixed timeline in column A.
The working formula is on the sheet ‘original formula layout’ and the formula containing the error is on the sheet ‘new formula layout’.

I want to design a macro that will compare the student's completed worksheet to the model answer worksheet. This will allow the class to work at different paces depending on ability.
For each exercise, the two sheets should look identical; and so, I would like the macro to highlight any different cells in the student sheet in a colour. I would also like cells with identical values, but different formulas to be highlighted - this is why I could not use the solution posted in : "Compare two worksheets and highlight the one sheet's difference from the other one".

I have a series of formulas in Row 1 across the columns in worksheet A. I would like to copy these formulas to a single column and down rows in worksheet B while retaining the references to worksheet A. I know that I can manually enter the references in worksheet B but that would take a long time to do.

What can I do to link my worksheets together? I need the months to link from january to december.
I'm trying to come up with a system to maintain attendance of employees. How do I come up with a rolling system to add and deduct the points as their attendance changes? The goal of each employee is to have the least amount of points as possible, because he/she will be penalized once they receive a certain amount of points.
Let's say that Jane was hired in October. She has accumulated 10 points by December from tardies, call-ins, etc. By the end of January, she has perfect attendance; she is awarded half a point to be taken off toward her 10, giving her 9.5. In February, there is a day she does not show up, so now her total goes up to 12.5 (3 pointed added because of NCNS-no show no call). In March and April, she has perfect attendance, so now her total is 11.5. (half a point allowed for each month with perfect attendance)
By rolling, I mean a formula that will calculate continuously over month after month and have the points roll over month to month.

I have code that "mostly" works great. I'm copying columns from one sheet to another sheet, but in different columns. I have unique code for each copy/paste. The source is mostly raw data. However, there are a few columns that are formula-based, and I'm having a problem. I've attached my code, and it works, but it takes 20 minutes to complete.
I'm very new to macros, but I think(?) I know enough that a data source with 2,000 rows and 30 columns shouldn't take 20 minutes to complete the macro calculations. All of the columns (copy and paste) in the code are pure data. The only exception is the column labeled "AI". Is there are shortcut, other than creating new columns in the source data sheet and pasting these results as values? I put the specific pieces of code that I'm referencing in bold.

I'm a fairly new user to using VBA and I'm currently running into a little snag. I'm trying tu create userform which will let me know if a person already exists in my sheet by looking up the last name in "A", then looking up his first name in "B", if such entry exists then display a message saying " Yes". If entry user has not been entered in the sheet then use a combox, to select the reason , then choose a date ( i have a working date picker ). Then entry should be entered in sheet (Name, Surname, Reason, date).
Whats working, I can use all of the above to enter all the info into the sheet, what I need to do is verify if user is alread in there, if not, then add it. The so on and so forth

Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. My file is only about 3mb in size, made up of 17 worksheets. These sheets are calculated by referencing to another file that contains all of the background data. The data file is also about 3mb, made up of 13 worksheets.
There are probably about 2 - 3 thousand formulas in the file in total, ranging including vlookups, sumifs, sumproducts, etc. When the data was contained within the file there was no problem. I moved each data sheet into a new workbook to trim the size of my file and also stop the incessant calculation and this is when the problem started. Now, when I open the file and am prompted to update, it will update to about half way and then throw up the error message!

I have 2 sheets with a formula in sheet 2 looking to pick up information from sheet 1. the formula in sheet 2 is:
=HLOOKUP(C8,'Cost-Effort'!$B$7:$AH$42,26, FALSE)
But C8 appears in W7 and X7 in sheet 1 and will only pick up the first Occurrence and I need it to pick up the second Occurrence for this specific task.

I have this excel workbook with VBA code that starts when the workbook is opened.
Every day at 12:00 the windows task scheduler opens the file (hidden). The problem is that my computer is not always turned on at 12:00 hence it would be better if I could store the file in the cloud and run task scheduler from there.
In an optimal world there also has to exist a dropbox connection.

I have a PDF sheet with info laid out like this:
Code:
Peter Paul Mary
Text Corporation
One two three street
Mars, New York 90000 USA
phone: (111) 555-2222
email: tellmewhy@yahoo.com
There are 10 names and addresses like this on each PDF page and the entire PDF file has 50 pages so to manually copy and paste each bit of info into separate cells on the spreadsheet's appropriate cells "Name, Company, Address, State, Phone, Email" e.t.c is too difficult.

I need a macro in a excel for the below scenario:
1)i have merged cells from A1:B3
2)if i click on a macro the output in the above cells should be as follows"
"Login to database"
3)if i run the same macro for the 2nd time the output should be:
"Are you done with the reporting?"
4)if i run for 3rd time the output should be:
"Logoff from database"
5)Say example if i run the same macro for 1o times i should get 10 different outputs....if i run for the 11th time the output should get repeat from 1st....
6)Output need not be in order....random also fine...
If possible gimme 2 different codes:
1)Output should be in the order wise from 1-10 and get started from1 again
2)Output should be random....

I have a sheet to calculate Time Elapsed based on StartDT & EndDt taking into consideration the actual working hours in any working day and the function exclude the weekend. I am not a guru in excel but i found this formula in this website .
=IF(AND(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),NOT(ISNA(MATCH(INT(StartDT),HolidayList,0)))),0,ABS(IF(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),ROUND(24*(EndDT-StartDT),2),
(24*(DayEnd-DayStart)*
(MAX(NETWORKDAYS(StartDT+1,EndDT-1,HolidayList),0)+
INT(24*(((EndDT-INT(EndDT))-
(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))+(DayEnd-DayStart))/(24*(DayEnd-DayStart))))+
MOD(ROUND(((24*(EndDT-INT(EndDT)))-24*DayStart)+
(24*DayEnd-(24*(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))),2),
ROUND((24*(DayEnd-DayStart)),2))))))
the formula works perfectly except for the fact that in our part of the world we have "Friday & Saturday" as the weekend days instead of Saturday and Sunday.
is there a way to get this formula or any similar formula to take different weekend days and do exactly what i need?

I've used Excel 2003 to write a macro to analyse some date from our internal proprietary database. I use some Perl to generate a bunch of csv files from the data, and the run the macro to generate graphs and statistics from that. What I would like to do now is run this entire operation as a scheduled task, so that, every week or so, the data is downloaded, the processing is done on the csv files, and the results are saved to a location to be viewed on our internal site.
I'm assuming that the best way to do this would be somehow run something from the command line (to be embedded in a script) which basically says "1) Open this csv file 2) run this macro 3) save the output to this location", but I can't figure out how this can be done.

I am trying to make certain changes to the page setup on all sheets in a workbook. Here is my code but something is not working. I think I need to somehow select the next sheet because the macro is only performing the task on the active worksheet. My Visual Basic skills are somewhat limited so I'm sure this is not the most efficient way.
