Determining Which Column Data Is Located In
Apr 2, 2007
I have a table of data, every entry in the table is different. I need a way in a single cell to determine what column the data is in (and a way to get the row it's in would be nice too), some way to do VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP in reverse.
In the attached example I need a function that can take dog and return "1", "A" or even the header "Animal", if another similar function can return the row, that would be nice also but if I can get the column I can get the row. Example
I've tried a few things with creating an array formula to do matches across multiple columns and I can make a multi-cell array that will flag the right column with the right column number, but any attempt to sum/max/match this array formula returns 0 or #N/A

I am wondering, in excel 2003 is it possible to randomly select two numbers from one column, say column b9:b45, that are random numbers, and selected by two different font colors. In other words: b9=1348, b10=1349, b11=1350, b12=1351, b13=1352, b14=1353.
Say we press a macro button, and in field B50 one radom black colored number is selected of a field of say 30 numbers that are all black in that column, and in b51, one red number is selected, in a field of 30 red numbers. We want to used this macro to select winners simulating a raffle drawing.

I currently have a button on a worksheet that loads a userform. I have code written that's not in a in a separate module but in the user form itself. It uses the information entered on the user form screen. When I try to reference data that's on a sheet other than the one that the button is located on, I get a "select method of range class failed" error. I assume that this problem has to do with the button macro being located on a different sheet than the data. Is there an easy fix?

On a first sheet, I have a list of cities where physicians travel along with an autofilter. On that same worksheet, I have a cell where users can input a zipcode.
On a second (hidden) sheet, a function calculates and displays in column F the distance in miles between the user-input zip code and all the cities in 4 states. The cities are listed in column D.
I need to filter all the cities on the first sheet (the ones where the docs travel) based on their distance from the user-input zipcode - namely all the cities located less than 150 miles from that zipcode.

In VBA, True takes the integer value of -1. However, in Excel, it is 1.
I am writing a custom function that does arithmetic on a value. However, due to above, if the value is True, my custom function produces a different result than if I wrote an Excel formula to do the same thing.
Is there some way to identify the data type of a value passed into a function? Currently my function looks like this:
' Return the valueToIncrement with its magnitude increased by PctToAdd
Public Function INCREMENTPCT(valueToIncrement As Variant, PctToAdd As Variant) As Variant
INCREMENTPCT = valueToIncrement * (1 + PctToAdd)
End Function
Ideally I would like to identify whether the type is Boolean and adjust the value so as to give the same result as an Excel formula would give.

I am trying to save some time converting a cut up inventory catalog number. Specifically focusing on the color code. I have the list of colors associated with their specific part number. The order cannot change or my sheet will mismatch.
What I want to do is convert the # in column A to the color code text in column b so that it matches the translated code in column C? For example
1 I want to tell 1 to = Polished Chrome anytime #1 appears in my column.
What formula should I choose to achieve that goal. As well, how do I know what data to imput into the formula wizard?
Sheet is attached.
I have Cut a few thousand items off the bottom of the sheet. I can apply to additional data left off.

I'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?

I am new to VBA programming in Excel (currently 2003) so hopefully this isn't a "dumb" question.
I would like to re-arrange a group of data from a table of several rows and columns to a single column where the data from the first row is translated to a column then the second row is appended to the end of that data ....
ie:
( 1 ) ( 4 ) ( 7 )
( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 8 )
( 3 ) ( 6 ) ( 9 )
to
( 1 )
( 4 )
( 7 )
( 2 )
( 5 )
( 8 )
( 3 )....
I thought a user defined formula would be a good place to start but am having problems getting the address of the cell that the function resides in to use to calculate the offset from a fixed cell (to be entered into the function as a argument). In other words, how do I get the address of the call that a UDF is entered in into the UDF? activecell.address is returning the cell that was last clicked not the cell were the UDF resides.
Secondly is there a better way to achive the results that I am looking for other than through a function? The size of the table will vary from worksheet to worksheet. I would also like to add an argumnet that lets me exclude cells with certain content from the resultant list.

I have created a drop down menu wseveral items for the first time. The drop down is located on several worksheets. What I'm trying to do is find out if there is a way to do 2 things.
A) capture a total (numerical value) of the number of items selected from the list on each worksheet. ex. if on worksheet #3 15 cells contain data from the drop down cell A1 on worksheet #1 would = 15.
&
B) capture a total (numerical value) of the number of times a specific item was selected from several worksheets. ex. if ABC was selected from the drop down menu 8 times on worksheet #2 & 6 times on worksheet #3, cell A2 on worksheet #1 would = 14.

How to pull data with a VLOOKUP to a file located on a Server.
My big problem is not understanding the syntax of the Server location. I've provided it below (obviously with some character changes).
I have a file located on my Hard Drive. I need to perform a VLOOKUP from A2 on this spreadsheet. The File on the Server is called "LookupTest.xls". The Range of Data is from Sheet 1 and is from A2:C4 and I need to pull the data from column C depending on what is selected from A2 from the file on my HD. I understand how to use VLOOKUP, just not when I'm pointing to another file on a Server.
Server mapping from Windows Explorer:
rbbabc$ on 'RP17409 - ABC Database (AHSSRVVN678.tge.com)'
Again, that server mapping is fake, as I changed it, but this is how it looks on Windows Explorer.
I'm trying to keep a master file of Data on a spreadsheet found on a server so that one master file can be updated, and several other tools pull from that Master File on VLOOKUP, Validation Lists, etc.

I have 2 tables where I need to pull data from one table into the other.
Table 1 - pull data here
A
Site
B
Begin Date
C
End Date
Rate
[Code]...
For example: site 77 in table 1, I need to pull whatever rate is shown for site 77 in table 2 for the date range specified on table 1. So the correct answer for the first row site 77 in column E would be .02. Notice there is a problem...mainly the dates do not match exactly. I just need the rate the applies for the majority of the time.
Another example. For table 1, site 174 from 2/11/11 to 2/22/12, the correct answer in column E (pulled from table 2) would be .02, even though Column D shows .00.

I am looking to automate our daily sales report.
I am aware of the windows task scheduler.
However, I'd like for this report to run and be sent out very early in the morning (5AM) before I'm even at work.
My computer is usually off because it's with me as I'm commuting into the office.
These files are saved out on our network drive.
Is there a way I can "open" the file and run the macro I have that builds my sales reports with my computer being off?

I am trying to use the same VBA code for different applications using variables.
Basically I want to have a variables sheet that has the different directories based on the macro selection. My variable sourceloc would change based on the variable name on the sheet.
sometimes I would want it to equal what was in a1 and sometime I would want what was in a2
a1 cell contains "f:filezilla files
a2 cell contains "f:dmc files
This is the code I started and it gives compile error when ChDir = sourceloc is reached
Public sourceloc
Sub filezillasettings()
Dim sourceloc As String
sourceloc = ActiveSheet.[a1] ' a1 cell contains the directory name and folder name =

Right now the security settings on my server are set so that new files can be added by anyone but only a few people can delete them. Everytime Excel opens a file on the server it creates a temp file that it cannot delete due to the security settings. This means that I have to go in to each subdirectory and manually select then delete each of these temp files.
way to identify an excel tempfile, or a method for deleting these files with VBA?

I have a spreadsheet containing 2 worksheets. First worksheet has my Students Details and the second spreadsheet has their Campus Locations.
What I need to create is a Formula that tells me "What CAMPUS was the student LOCATED at on the Course Completion Date?"
[URL]
what I'm trying to do is as follows:
John Completes his Course on the 25th July 2013, his Student ID is 450.
I need to go to the CAMPUS LOCATION spreadsheet and first search for Johns student ID (450) in column B. Because John is listed in B2,B3 and B4 excel needs to check date in Column E to see if his completion date was before the Date he started at Campus.
If it is then the Campus he was at will be the value of Column D on that line.
If it is not then it needs to search the next line until it satisfies the condition.

I've got a formula which makes a word "Order" (column B) meet the closest value of 35.00 (column A)
How to modify the formula so that ''Order" meets the closest value of 35.00 in the range (>=35;<39) throughout the column?
There are about 20 approximate and precise values of 35.00 in the column A which have to be met by "Order".
I've been trying to change the value comparisons and precisity (pecentage) to set up the range from 35.00 till 39.00.
but encountered a problem that "Order'' often meets two closest values of 35 till 39, often one of them is going under 35.00 e.g. 36.50; 34.00.
Consequently how to change/substitute the formula, parameters, value comparisons etc. to meet the requirements!
See the workbook attached. 13_05_det_closest_value.xlsx
