Distance Between Xy Coordinates Not Converting Properly With Absolute Cell Use
May 14, 2014
I have a spread sheet that I am finding distance between xy coordinates and then trying to convert that distance into miles.
VB : =If(E2+F2=0,"",SQRT((E2-B2)^2+(F2-B3)^2))/1.6093
However, the division part only works in the first cell in the column correctly and then does not work in the rest of the column cells correctly. The difference in the code is that the first cell has no "$" in it and the rest of the cells in the column have the "$" in them.
VB : =If(E2+F2=0,"",SQRT(((E2-B$2)^2)+(F2-B$3)^2))

I have created a sheet that shows distance between coordinates. Also working on something to put them in order of the closest point. I used a fixed point to find the nearest coordinate, but since i'm using a fixed point it doesnt go the order I want it to. I have attached the excel file I am working on.

i use a Trimble Total Station Survey equipment, This is used for suveying and measuring distances between points on jobs. These points can be exported onto the pc as a text file and imported onto excel, the file has a northing and easting to locate the point these are comma separated.
I would like to know if excell is capable of working out a distance betwen two of these such points by using the two pairs of northing and easting coordinates. The maximum distance between two points is no more than 50 meters. If for example when imported onto excel point 1's coordinates are locted in cells A1 and B1 and points 2's coordinates are locted in cells A2 and B2.

I want to use a User Defined name look up its corresponding X/Y Coordinates , reference a list organized by categories, then go through each name in the list finding each's X/Y Coord Calculate distance.
SQRT((X-X)*(X-X)+(Y-Y)*(Y-Y))
where X and Y are Coordinates
& Return the name of the smallest Value.

I am working on two spreadsheets, one we shall call Target Sheet and the other Reference Sheet.
On the target sheet, I have a set of 200 geographic coordinates longitude and latitude (in decimal degrees). Each pair of coordinates coresponds to a geographic site.
On the reference sheet, I have a set of 900 geographic coordinates longitude and latitude (in decimal degrees). Each pair of coordinates coresponds to a geographic site. Note that of the 900, 200 are the same from target sheet, other 700 are different sites.
Using the spherical law of cosines, I can calculate the distance between a set of coordinates on target sheet agianst a set of coordinates on reference sheet. This allows me to see the distance from one geographic site, to the other. This was easy. The formula I use is as follows: ....

I am migrating a bookkeepping spreadsheet from Quattro v12 (c2001) to Excel 2007 and have hit a stone wall over relative 3-D references.
In this workbook each sheet holds data for one month, and this includes some lagging-12-month calculations -- that is, summing a range on a single cell for the preceding 12 sheets (including this one).
Unexpectedly, this formula:
=ISUM('201206:201305'!M6)
gives absolute references, even though I put in no dollar signs after the sheet names. This means it gives the wrong answer when copied to the next sheet to start a new month.
I can find no reference at all to converting the above formula from absolute to relative reference.

I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.

I set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
=COUNTIF(E14:Z14,"*Y*")
=COUNTIF(E11:Z11,"*DI*")

I have attached a spreadsheet with a small amount of the data I need to use. This is the distance between customers in kms. I need to be able to have excel look up the cell reference for distance between two customers though they will not always be the same customers every day in the same order.

I have a simple count formula which is suppose to be absolute.
=COUNT($L5:$V5) and works till I add a column via a macro.
Macro adds a new column at column M then inserts data.
My problem is when I check the formula after macro it changes to
=COUNT($M5:$W5) I thought using the $ sign means Don't change?

heres the Coding.
Sub ADORUN_CSM_Reg1()
' Justin SQL Server Connection
'
' FOR THIS CODE TO WORK
' In VBE you need to go Tools References and check Microsoft Active X Data Objects 2.x library
'
In the Server_name = "SRVREG1" in red above, i would like it to reference a cell...say A30. How is this done?? so that if im on the worksheet called Title on A30 i type in SRVREG1 and the VBA knows what to do from there.

some Excel columns (see attachment). A1 is set to =C1 and the formula is dragged down, relatively referencing column C. Column B applies a formula to the values in Column A.
If I go into the formula bar for cells in A and push enter, the spreadsheet shows the correct value and I can then push enter in the adjacent Column B cell to solve. But, how can I get these data to display properly automatically?

Say in column A, I have the values 1,2,3. If I set cell B1 equal to A1 and drag down, I'd expect this:
A B
1: 2 2
2: 3 3
3: 4 4
But all the columns in B just say 2. What function did I accidentally change?

Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
Code:
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=""ABS()>.005"""
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority[code].....

I want to add a formula with absolute row to a cell.
The desired formula in the cell is something like "=SUM(B$5:B11)"
However, when i use the following code I keep getting error 1004 'Application-defined or object-defined error'
Code:
topCell.Cells(CurrentRow, 3)FormulaR1C1 = _
"=SUM(R-" & CurrentRow - 1 & "C[-1]:RC[-1])"
It works when the bracket [] is used for row, but it does not give me absolute row in the formula.
Code:
topCell.Cells(CurrentRow, 3)FormulaR1C1 = _
"=SUM(R[-" & CurrentRow - 1 & "]C[-1]:RC[-1])"

I know how to turn a column reference in a structured data table into an absolute reference:
=Table1[A] becomes =Table1[[A]:[A]]
However, how to make a cell reference, like this one, absolute to that it still locks on this row, column A when I drag it across. I don't want to use copy & paste, as I have other cell references that i need to leave dynamic.
=Table1[[#This Row],[A]]
I've seen that @ can lock rows, but I don't seem to be able to lock an individual cell.

I am taking an online computer class and when i enter a formula (=c5/c11) and then press f4, to make the cell c11 absolute, this does not work. Instead it brings me the "Project" right side mini screen. Is there a way to program the f4 key to return absolute results?

I'm working on my first real macro - so I'm a greenhorn. I've spent a few hours trying to research a solution, but most threads are too technical for me so I'm hoping someone can really help me out.
I am trying to use a formula that references a cell that changes day to day from when I use the macro. I need to use a formula which grabs from a cell in a non concrete location. Let me try and show you what I mean.
From I4:I10, I need a formula like this:

I'm using a lot of "activeCell.offset(row,col).address" type of entries to form formulas for me. All of the references come across as Absolute References - $G$24, for example. Is there a different way for activeCell to give me a "normal" address ('G24' vice '$g$24') or a function that will convert for me?

How do I copy an absolute cell reference from say a1 to a2 -100 so that the row reference increments with each row. Without the absolute cell reference '$' it works Ok. But with it every cell is the same as a1?

I am doing percentages (very simple formula)
The formula looks like this =B7/B5
Now when I drag it to the box below I get =B8/B6
But I need the numerator to increment and
the denominator to stay the same.
So that it would look like this =B8/B5

I have a number in cell A2. I have hundreds of numbers (dividends) spanning across row 1. I want that number in A2 to be the divisor in my formular all across row 2.
In cell B2... if I type the formula "=B1/A2" i get the quotient I want. If I copy and paste this formula into cell C2 the divisor changes as well as the dividend. How can I "copy and paste" this so that the divisor stays the same and only the dividend is variable.

how to get either the absolute row or the absolute column of a cell.
Suppose the active cell is H27.
If we use:
ActiveCell.Address
we will get $H$27
How can we get either $H or $27 only assigned to a variable let it be MyVar.
Please keep in mind that converting the $H$27 to a string and then making string manipulations is not accepted, unless of course it's the only way to go.
Also it would be nice if I get answers on how to get the relative address column/row portions only, too. Like H or 27.
Another tip is that using .Column returns a number, not a letter.

I think this should be easier than I am making it out to be, but the answer is escaping me....
Among other things, I have a workbook with these worksheets in it: Hours, Cost, Profit, Revenue.
Columns A, B, C & D should be exactly the same on each worksheet. So, I have all the data for these columns entered into Hours, and then reference that worksheet on the other ones.
That works fine until I sort it differently and then instead of having row 2 reference row 2, it will be in row 9, etc.
Now I know I can use =+Hours!$A$2 for the absolute reference, but then i would manually have to change the reference on each cell.
SO - (finally the question) Is there a way to use the absolute reference without having to manually enter it into each cell?

I have a workbook with many tabs and within those tabs there are many hyperlinks to other areas within the same workbook. When I add or delete lines or rows, the corresponding hyperlinks do not stay with the changed cell. Is there any way to make the cell reference in a hyperlink an absolute similar to how you do with a formula?
