I have a template with formulas calculating a default value, but still allowing the user to override the cells with direct input.
I want to use conditional formatting to highlight any cells that have been overwritten, but can't find a way for Excel to differentiate between a cell with a formula or an inputted constant.
I realize there is a VBA "isFormula" function, but I don't want to have to use VBA for this.
In cell A1 exists data. In cell A2, I would like to test A1 to determine if A1 is a formula or a constant.
Examples:
=A9+3 would result "formula"
="1+3 would result "formula"
3 would result "constant"
'Blahblah would result "constant".
Is there a way to incorporate these 3 boxes into one? So if I enter a figure into any cell, it will calulate it for the other two? Without overwriting the existing formula. I have attached the problem.

I need an equation that lets me determine whether a cell contains a static constant value (either a string or a number), or an equation that generates a value.
Problem: I have a cell that contains a default equation that generates a default value, depending on a few conditions. The user can overwrite this cell with a constant. In another cell I need to know whether that cell is still the default equation or a new constant value.
I cannot simply test the value of the contents to see if they match my default, because the user may choose to enter that value.
I am creating on the fly an array (2 columns) in which the one row cell is mathematically derived from its neighbor (A left-hand cell). However, when the mathematically derived product exceeds a value, the row neighbor changes to another constant until its neighbor's product exceeds another value, etc. Can I create such an array without resorting to VBA?
a formula to direct me to a certain tab.
Example:
I have a cell with a number, say 312260 and a tab with the same number as the name, I need a formula to send me to that tab.
I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.
The spread sheet I have written reaches a point, where I want the "ENTER key depress" to jump to a cell to the right instead of the cells in the same column lower in the sheet, is there a way to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a userForm (Form1) that contains a persons name that I would like to reference in a separate UserForm (Form2). In the separate UserForm (Form2) I need to reference this persons name many times, so I was wondering if there was a was to declare this name in the separate UserForm (Form2) as a constant. Only thing is that a constant, to the best of my knowledge, must be an expression and not a variable. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid declaring the myName variable in each Sub within Form2, which it will be needed for a ton of Sub's.
Code for Form2: Const myName As String = Form1.txtName.Value
I am attempting to setup a spreadsheet that summarizes data from a set of other workbooks. The woorkbooks the data comes from is different for each year. However, I would like to have just one summary that can be changed based on the year entered.
In B1 the user enters the year. Say 2012
In the bulk of the spread sheet below the cells refrence
='C:...["&B1&" Pt. Visit Stats.xlsx]Summary'!$B$6
As I am sure many of you can guess I am getting a #REF! error. I just do not see why it shouldn't work.
I do not want to use the indirect function, because the refering workbooks would need to be open to draw data. I am guessing that I will probably need to research the Harland Grove Pull VBA work or more likely include a copy of Morfunc and then use the indirect function. But, I though I would ask here first just in case I am missing something relatively simple.
How I can directly write info from an external application to an Excel sheet
Actually, I'm using a special dll collection to do it, but I would need to buy the 64 version soon. Problem is I use only one function of the entire collection so I want to look on how to create it my self. Basically, it took data from my charting software and write directly to my Excel Worksheet.Cell
I'm trying to use Solver to determine an input parameter of the BINOMDIST() formula that provides the exact answer I want. It works for some inputs and outputs but not for all.
For example, I want 4 successes out of 7 trials to yield a 95% answer, meaning I need to itterate on the "P" input in the formula [=BINOMDIST(4,7,"P",TRUE) should result in .95]. Using solver it iterates successfully to .3413.
Now, change 4 to 6, and solver drives "P" to an answer that causes a #NUM result (P= 4.023), however I can manually input 0.6518 and I get the right answer.
I've tried adding constraints that won't let the input go outside the bounds of 0 and 1.0 but it does anyway.
I need to take a specific action when a cell has an actual formula in it versus when it just has a "value". Is there a procedure or command which will allow me to identify if a certain cell has a "formula" (like =sum(a1: a5) ) or just a value.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to determine if the input date (Yearx) in a userform is a leap year. I tried doing this: Leap = Evaluate("MOD(Yearx, 4)") IF Leap = 0 then (show 29 days on my planner).
But no matter what date I put in, it generates "0" as the value for Leap, so indicates that February has 29 days. Obviously I'm not doing this right.
If I have a formula that I want to copy throughout a column, but I want to keep one of the parts of the formula constant, is there a short way to do this?
For example:
First cell is A1*O24
Second Cell is A2*O24
Third Cell is A3*O24
Right now when I try to copy the formulas, the second cell always reverts to A2*O25, which is not correct.
I try to adjust chart range using variable value instead of constant value.
My current code :
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 4").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Check_2G'!$Z$2:$Z$32"
I need to make range ( "='Check_2G'!$Z$2:$Z$32" ) adjestable with varible like m instead of 32 in previous code.
I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.
I want a formula in Cell A6 (and I already know it correctly works) in this format: =E6&VLOOKUP(I6,'FA-Fund Data'!B$1:C$2000,2,FALSE)&J6
I am creating a data tracking workbook. Information is entered into cells on
different sheets, then the tallies are pulled to one easier to read sheet.
In creating the tally sheet, I am setting the cell formulas. The cells
referred to are constant, only the sheet referred to changes. For example,
the cell might read
='FP 1'!$I$25
and the next one should read
='FP 2'!$I$25
....and so on. I would like to be able to paste the formula and have the
referred to sheet change so that I do not have to go through and make
hundreds of little changes.
I have the following array function that I am trying to get to work properly:
ActiveCell.FormulaArray = "=SUM(IF(NCR!O2:O100=39326,NCR!Q2:Q100,0))"
39326 is the value of 9/1/2007, and this formula works properly.
I am looking for a way to use this formula but replace 39326 with whatever date is in the first row of the same column as the active cell when it is run.
That is, if the macro was run with cell B8 as the active cell, "39326" would be replaced with whatever value was in cell B1.
I have used the following long but simple formula.
=SUM((B17*B14)+(C17*C14)+(D17*D14)+(E17*E14)+(F17*F14)+(G17*G14)+(H17*H14)+(I17*I14)+(J17*J14)+(K17* K14)+(L17*L14)+(M17*M14)+(N17*N14)+(O17*O14))
I need to copy it to numerous other cells. However I need the row fourteen values to remain the same while the other values change according to which row I'm copying it to e.g
=SUM((B20*B14)+(C20*C14)+(D20*D14)+(E20*E14)+(F20*F14)+(G20*G14)+(H20*H14)+(I20*I14)+(J20*J14)+(K20* K14)+(L20*L14)+(M20*M14)+(N20*N14)+(O20*O14))
Is there any way of doing this without changing the formula manually every time?
i'm having trouble formating a cell to accept either user input or a equation i've made. i would like it to accept the user input and when there is no input to use the equation i have.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to input this formula (=IF(M14
View 4 Replies View Related I would like a cell to have user input. If there is no input then the cell should reference a value in another cell. My strategy was to use a formula in another cell to check to see if the user input cell was empty. If it was empty then the formula propagated the cell. If it had user inputted data then it stayed like it was.
Here is an example:
Begin Invent
1000
Gallons
End Invent
User input or
formula here
Gallons
Received
Gallons
Used
Gallons
I want the user to be able to input a value for the End Invent cell right below 1000. If there is no value I want that same cell to mirror the cell above it with the 1000 in it.
I have a table with 4 radio buttons that assume certain data in three cells when they are selected. I have used the IF command to getthe information to appear in these boxes when the cooresponding radio button is selected.
I want the user to be able to either leave the selection as it is presented to them, have the option to change the data if it doesn't fit their scenerio.
Example: button 1 "Electric" makes the data "$0.12", "$per kWh", & "100%" appear in the three cells. Each button produces different data in these boxes, however if when button 1 is selected, the user's electric cost per kWh is $0.10, I want them to be able to type that in without changing my preset default.
I'm trying to work out the way of having a cell give a result based on what has been input into two other cells.

Cell A5 has a Yes_No pull-down list for data validation. In cell B5, I want to display the value 0.002 only if A5 is "Yes". If A5 is "No", I want the user to be able to enter a number into the B5 cell without destroying the formula.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCell A1 is going to be used as my true/false value to trigger the formula. Cell A2 must allow user input to calculate "what if" scenarios however, if cell A1 value = true then cell A2 = 0.
I think I need to place my formula into A3 to allow the user their input to A2 without overwriting my formula. Problem is if I place the = sign in front of IF, the formula does not work the way I need it to. If I don't place the = sign in front of IF excel just treats it as a text entry.

I have inherited this workbook and am just trying to automate the functionality to streamline.
Two formulas which I need in Cells E74 and E75.
Basically the formulas will depend whether the entry in D73 are Yes or No
in cell E74, IF D73 = ‘No’ then E74 = D74 + E70 ELSE IF ‘D73’ = ‘Yes’ then E74 = E70
in cell E75, IF D73 = ‘No’ then E74 = D74 + E70 ELSE IF D73 = ‘Yes’ then E74 = E70

I do data entry for a driveway company. I get addresses and phone numbers, and then call the people to offer services. I keep track of my calls on the spreadsheet, color coded for my results, green for leads, yellow for voicemail/no answer, and red for not interested.
I have formulas in cells M2 through M8 to give me my overall stats for the calls I have made, it filters them by color for leads, missed calls, and rejections, and a couple other stats (mostly for my own curiosity)
What I'm trying to add is the cells L10 to M13, I want to be able to input a date, for instance 8/15, and have it run the same stats, just for that day essentially. So, I need it to search the last 2 columns in the table for the text that I input into cell M10, and then run the color based formula on those cells, and total them up in the appropriate cells, M11, M12, and M13.
The 2 Stats tables are the same at the moment in the sample, as I only included one particular street that I have mapped, my actual table is nearly 3000 rows.
When i use
Code:
=IF(ISBLANK(I31);"";I31-IF(ISNUMBER(J31);J31;0))
The cell gives me an error, i think because I31 has a formula that returns no value.
How can i stop the formula if cell I31 gives me no data??
