The spreadsheet I have designed is to be input offshore by one group, and the values that get put in this shared workbook will feed into another shared workbook (for reference and ease, I will call one offshore. book and the other uk.book).
It seems that I have to save the offshore.book (so could I use some autosave code, for every 5mins or so? I dont have the plugin so would have to write it in), then hit update links in the uk.book (again, I presume I could write this so it triggers off every 30mins or so, but can be done manually if required). It seems abit fiddly doing this, but this is the way they wanted it done (my idea was to put into a database, but got out voted).
The figures in the uk.book would simply be a vlookup. However, we do not want the uk team to be able to look at the other book so would the links still work properly? (ie there would only be one open workbook at a time - direct access to each others spreadsheets shouldnt occur.)
I have a master timesheet that i would like to update for several employees. Each employee will be sending their own spreadsheet at the end of the month. the columns in the spreadsheets have the date, the employee's name, the project they worked on, and how many hours they worked on that project.
when i receive all of the employee's spreadsheets (they will be emailing them to me) then i would like to import the data into a single table that i can then evaluate using pivot tables and pivot charts.
I tried using sharing and merging but i can't figure out how to have their information merge into a single table without overwriting each other (the numbers of rows with information is different for each employee and is not predictable - it will vary from month to month).
I would like to make this as automatic as possible. Ideally, they will send their spreadsheets to me and i would like to have their information automatically imported into one big table.
I have a problem and wanted to know if there was an easier way to create links to various worksheets. I have a folder with 59 worksheets. The names of the Worksheets are the weeks of the year(example LA-01-01-09) I have another workbook with 13 worksheets one for every month and a sheet that totals the whole year up.
What I want to know is how can I create a link to everyone of those weekly sheets to go to my monthly sheets,so when data is entered into the weekly sheet the monthly sheet will update automatically? The weekly sheets are setup exactly the same. I'm looking only to pull row 3 columns c:d:f:g:h:i over to my monthly sheet.
I have an example of my weekly sheet and monthly sheet.
I want to pull data from about 100 different Excel files. They are located in the same folder and drive and the data I want is in consistent cell locations. I would to find a fast way to reference the files. something like S:FolderJanuaryCaseNumber1.xls that will allow me to pull-down the folumula and copy the month and case number from two separate fields on my spreadsheet. So I would specify the month and case numbers and have them automatically populate my link formula.
I compile a report each month. I have a program/macro built to do this so based on the month I select it runs the code below. The code below would run if i selected January. I run this report on a spreadhseet and its for a ton of people, and my code is really long. I know there is someway to shorten it, but i cant figure out how. Below is an example of one persons, and the next persons would begin on the row below the example.
Sub January_NB() 'Week1 'Christie Sheets("New Business").Activate With Sheets("New Business") Range("B8").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "='\lm-file-dfs-01centralPermktUnd-Prod-CtrsProperty Count SheetsNew Work ReportNB Team Count sheetsChristie[Count Sheet January Christie.xls]Tally'!R73C4" Range("D8").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "='\lm-file-dfs-01centralPermktUnd-Prod-CtrsProperty Count SheetsNew Work ReportNB Team Count sheetsChristie[Count Sheet January Christie.xls]Tally'!R6C4" Range("E8").Select...........................
I create the billing data for some key accounts and I was asked to build a summary sheet that brought all of them into one place so that the billing department didn't have to open each individual spreadsheet each month to verify their info to mine. What I would like to accomplish is to stay current according to today's date.
So if it's March, 10, 2014, I need to update the spreadsheet data according to the February 2014 spreadsheet a Key Account #1. Then in April, I need it to look for the new March 2014 spreadsheet. I'm assuming I can use an =IF(OR(... formula for this, but I'm just not sure how to get the date thing sorted out.
As far as naming of the the Key Accounts billing spreadsheets, they go something like 0214 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Then the new one will be 0314 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Even tho the next months billing file isn't created, the formula should be able to check against the date and know when to look for the new one.
I have a workbook. This workbook is divided into 4 worksheets. I want to add some of the calculations I made on other worksheets onto 1. I looked for the formula on how to do this, and this is the formula that was given:
=Sheet1!A1
I found the formula here: [URL] ........
Does it matter that the cell I'm trying to link from, in this case A1 on Sheet 1, is the result of a formula--a simple addition--and not a number, like 1?
I have a workbook with 2 worksheets. I know I can link 2 cells between worksheets, therefore if I change the contents in Cell A1 in Sheet 1, it will then show the updated value in Sheet 2 where I have entered that I want the value in Cell Sheet 2:Z1 is the same value as "Sheet 1! A1"
Is there any way to do this same process for an entire row? I would like to ensure that any change I make to a Row in Sheet 1, is automatically reflected in Sheet 2. I was hoping I could link the entire Row between the worksheets, not just the cells, which is more tedious.
The contents for each cell in the row varies: Text, Hyperlinks, etc.
Essentially what i am trying to do is link this to the other worksheet which breaks out if A is a Catalyst, Credit,Hedge, or Cash. If it is credit, then derive the the Value in the SUM Column for Credit.
TO explain better worksheet B looks like
A Credit
B HEdge
C Catalyst
The Final product what I am aiming to achieve is
Rows labels SUM Catalyst Credit Hedge Cash
A 10000 10000
B 7333.22 7333.22
C -60000 -60000
How I can link this without having to manually do it every time.
i am trying to get data from my original (vertical data) to copy to other group of cells (horizontal) without having to refer to every single cell to be copied. is there a way to get excel to do something like this: if b12=x then c12=next - but for 5 rows.
i am such a excel newb but i have asked some guys who say they know excel and i left them scratching their heads. i have all the data in i need in other sheets.
I have three workbooks stored in the same drive(shared drive). Let's call them 1.xls, 2.xls and 3.xls. Each workbook has one sheet.Column A in all sheets is the same. I want to make the following linking:
-Column A of the sheets in 2.xls and 3.xls to be linked and get data from column A of the sheet in 1.xls. -Column B of 1.xls to be linked and get data from column B of 2.xls and column C of 1.xls to be linked to column B of 3.xls.
So far it sounds easy. What I cannot find is what to do when I insert a row in the sheet in 1.xls and write something in column A. I managed from DATA- IMPORT EXTERNAL DATA to refresh column A of the sheets in 2.xls and 3.xls, so that these columns contain the updated information. I cannot do the vice-versa procedure: for example, to insert something in column B of the sheet in 2.xls and refresh the values of column B of the sheet in 1.xls. The fact is that when I insert a row in 1.xls the right references get lost and move one cell up. I want the references to remain stable. In a way the sheets are interdependent.
I am having trouble, with these formulas. I have 3 worksheets - Renewal, Upsell, and Crossell. Right now I have on Crossell the customer information cells = a designated cell on the Upsell sheet. This automatically polpulates the customer's info from the Upsell sheet to the Crossell sheet. What I want to do is have the customer's info populate to the "Crossell" sheet from BOTH the "Upsell" and "Renewal" sheet. That way, if you fill out the Upsell or the Renewal, it will always populate on the Crossell form.
I have created two workbooks, one which is a master price list (MasterPriceList.xls) and another which is a pricing sheet template that will be used to calculate many different products (Pricing.xls)
I have used a VLOOKUP across the workbooks (thanks to those who helped me with that) but I cannot get a drop list to work across two worksheets. When I enter the source in the "refers to" box, I get a notice saying that you can't use data validation across two workbooks. However, this was the same error message I got when I was incorrectly inserting the reference source for the VLOOKUP function, so I don't believe it Also, there are several tutorials on the web that say this can be done. However, none of them seem to work for me.
I cannot open the Data Validation box and get to the other open worksheet, so I can highlight the area I want, with the range I want to drop down. Until I close the data validation box, I cannot get out of that sheet. I have used cell ranges as well as named ranges.
When I type in a name, I get only the text I entered in the source reference box appearing on the sheet, i.e., the drop down box will only show "=C:Documents And SettingsAllenMy Documents, etc" it doesn't seem to recognize it as a source.
I have a folder in Dropbox (important that it is stored there, it is shared with 15 people who are on a bunch of different networks) that contains 15 spreadsheets. One of them is the master, containing performance data for 14 people. The other 14 are for each individual person pulling their performance data from the master. Monthly, the master spreadsheet gets updated, and I want the user spreadsheets to update, so I can email the individual spreadsheets to each person so they can track their performance. Of course, they cannot see each others numbers, so they have no access to the folder. There are a handful of people that have access to the master. All the spreadsheets will live in this folder all the time.
The issue is that on my computer the path to the master is different then it is for other users because of where Dropbox stores local data by default, and for a lot of reasons, I cannot change it.
Is there any way to tell excel that the master (or the other 14) live in the same folder so there is no need for the first part of the path?
I’m having problems linking data from various worksheets to one master worksheet, all in the same workbook. The workbook contains swimmers PB’s (personal best times) for each stroke and after each gala the swimmers new time is entered onto the worksheet. The worksheet data is then sorted so that the fastest swimmer is at the top.
The master worksheet contains all swimmers by name (alphabetically) and their best times for each stroke, what I am trying to do is have the master worksheet update automatically when I enter the swimmers new PB’s in the individual stroke worksheets, this works when I use ’Paste Special’, but when I go to sort the data with the fastest swimmer at the top, the data in the master worksheet does not reflect the correct times.
Using Excel 2003, I'm trying to come up with a formula that will take the students Total Pct. (column G, G12 is first cell & G41 is the last) from the worksheet called Juniors and find their Total grade (Column H, H12 is first & H41 is last) from the worksheet called Total Days. The % column on the Total Days worksheet is A (cells A10:A22) and the Grade column is B (cells B10:B22)
I have a number of separate worksheets in one spreadsheet all based on the same list (eg customers); the customer's name is the first column and hence the 'key' in each worksheet; when I insert or delete a line in the main worksheet the formulae in the first (customer name) column are amended in the other worksheets BUT I ideally need more than that; when I insert a new customer in the first (main worksheet) I need a new line with that customer name inserting into the corresponding place in the other worksheets; and when I move a line (eg delete a customer and move them to the bottom of the main worksheet list) I need the corresponding lines in the other worksheets moving as well. I guess what I really need is a drill-down function; a main customer list and sub-lists all linking back to the main lists like you would get in database tables.
I am linking a row of data in worksheet x to a column of data in worksheet Y and would like to be able to drag down the cell reference in worksheet Y in this way:
However, when I drag it down, the formula is automatically absolute for both the row and the column number instead of just the row as I indicated. Can anyone tell me why this occurs and whether there is a way to fix it?
I've been reading some threads lately about worksheet design and wanted you advice on something.
I have a worksheet that is about 7.5mb. The details of the worksheet are:
A. 19 total worksheets within workbook, three are visible B. 1 master worksheet (raw data) that is updated monthly C. There are 13 worksheets (for each outer office) that pull data from the master. D. A couple of "Summary" sheets that summarize totals, profits, losses for each area
Situation is this....All code runs fine, but when it's time to save the worksheet it is kind of slow doing so b/c of size.
Would you suggest making a seperate WORKBOOK for the outer offices? I gave this a try yesterday and it worked fine, but I also added code to save once the data was extracted and that part took about 5-6 seconds (I know that's not horrible, but I'm comparing it to previous times).
I am going to attempt to design a production spreadsheet which does the following:
1.Orders are put on one page of the spreadsheet (Order Tab) The order is put on listing, Customer, Sizes, Qty etc
2.The user is then able to select an order and if possible I would like a pop up calendar to appear in which the user can then select a production date.
3.One the production date has been selected I want it to open up a new tab if one doesn’t already exist and then cut the information from the order tab and then paste it into the production day.
I have provided a spreadsheet of what I want to achieve but I am unsure if this is possible.
For some strange reason the workbook I have been using on a daily basis has suddenly decided to go into design mode and stay there. No matter how many times I click the design mode button in and out it always stays in and I can't use my buttons.....it just selects them?
I have been tasked with performing a work measurement study to improve productivity in our organisation. I managed to adapt a paper based report to an excel file; with the view of creating a model. I also intend adding the cost of employing people in specific positions to determine the cost per hour for each specific activity.
How can I format a Pivot Table with 5 levels. I try to use the "Design" but it only format the first 2 levels of the Pivot Table. I need to distinguish each level with different colors. I think manually is a bit difficult.
I have a production report card spreadsheet with numerous checkboxes. Originally I also had text boxes for user input - which I have since removed all of and simply unlocked cells for user input (I protect the spreadsheet). My problem is that now that I have removed ALL of the textboxes - I get the error message "Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox3' can not be created." everytime I go to lock the spreadsheet after tweeking or upon opening of the file. I also cannot use the checkboxes now because I am stuck in design mode.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this...or better yet...how to stop the error msg altogether? I googled and no answers...some theories that it was a bug with excel2003...but I find it hard to believe as I found posts for the same message of users of WORD2003...so I am thinking it might be VBA related?
I am in the midst of developing a Userform with a purpose of entering/retreiving and amending data. A rough approximate of about 50 sets of 3 text boxes is required for user to type in data. Is there a kind of limit or performance issues if there are so many text boxes available? What other ways would make it work? Would appreciate some advice from the veterans in this field.
I've created a spreadsheet that has a number of command buttons acting as hyperlinks navigating to other worksheets within the workbook and other files. The buttons only function when in design mode and no matter what I try the document will not open in design mode. For ease of use I wanted to avoid training people on how to go into design mode, anyone aware of a work around?
im trying to make a few things work at different stages.
1. Im TRYING to create a not so simple programme with Excel for My Wifes Creche - She would like to have a programme that, when she gets a phone call from a parent to check availabilty in lets say - 3 months time, it reports back with a number of availabiltys for that date in a specific room.
2. Rooms are broken in 4 categories ( up-to 12 mths old "Baby room" 12 mths to 2 yrs "Wobblers room" 2-4 yrs "Toddlers room and finaly Playschool,)
3.So far what i have done is this =IF(G2<$A$1,"",IF(G2<$A$1039,"Baby",IF(G2<$A$1404,"Wobbler", IF(G2<$A$1770,"Toddler",IF(G2<$A$2290,"Playschool", which gives me a room from inputting the Date of Birth.
4. ive then used the form button to give me the option to add edit and delete entries from the headings (First name Last name Date of Birth Room -but this will show once DOB is entered.
5. i have tried to run the =COUNTIF(A2:A7,"Baby") to try and get the total baby spaces taken up at a given date however this wont work for me and isnt giving any error message, just a blank cell.
I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.
I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.
Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?
