Dropdowns Used To Reference Information In Various Worksheets To Update Charts?
Apr 23, 2014
I need to create a page (call it a dashboard) in excel whereby drop down fields (doesn't have to be drop downs, just how I imagine it to work at the moment), are used to refer to information in another worksheet, which updates several charts on the dashboard.
So, for example, I have several additonal tabs in the spreadsheet called 'Company 1', 'Company 2' etc, which in each tab contains information (monthly results) in exactly the same layout and format. However, on the front page, I would like to be able to select 'Company 1' (or 'Company 4') and then sub-select 'March 2014' results within that, referring to the data in the 'Company 1' tab. If possible, it would be handy to have this information displaying in a grid on the dashboard, which updates when you change between months and/or company. This could be the source data for the chart.

I have a project that has a variable number of worksheets, dependant on the number of models in the job. These worksheets usually only use a single page, but may use two pages if the model is large (not often the case though). I have a "Template1" worksheet that is copied as a whole, to equal the number of models.
To minimize the file size that is generated when copying out the "Template1" worksheet, I have put the template of the second page on a separate worksheet "Template2". Now the initial copy is only of a single page, and the second page is only copied into the new worksheet if needed.
Sub AddPg2()
Dim CrntPg As String
CrntPg = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet. Name
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Template2").Visible = True
Worksheets("Template2").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A47:T96").Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets(CrntPg).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A47").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveSheet.Range("D58").Select
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Template2").Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If I do this process manually, I toggle DesignMode "on", and it works, but I if I record the process, toggling DesignMode does not show in the code. how to include the comboboxes and checkboxes in the copy/paste process.

I am working on a chart which is updated every week. For clearness purposes, I would like to get the chart titles integrating the date of the last update. For instance, if the data are updated on the 13/06/07, I would like the chart title to be automatically: Last updated on 13/06/07 and so on.

I want to update a number of charts using data that covers a rolling 12 months - this will be amended each month by addition of new data but I will be retaining the full history. I thought the easiest and quickest way would be to name the data range and just amend it each month as I added new data. However, when I use the named range in the chart wizard it is replaced by direct cell references. Can anyone suggest how I can retain the name in the chart or suggest an easy alternative method?

Produce a chart (not a problem) that can be updated should the length of the X and Y data change?
This may not even need to be a macro, if it is possible to have a chart whose X and Y axis updates depending on the contents of a column?
If you search through the history of even this forum you will see quite a lot of people are looking for this solution.

I have a file with data in one sheet (unfortunately I cannot share the file because of confidential data..), and two sheets with both 9-11 charts in them.
The charts are all filled simply with a dynamic range from the datasheet, so that Last Year and all months from this year with data in them are always in there.
The problem: When opening either of the graph sheets, the (familiar?) error pops up: "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name and cell reference."
One of the graphs has an error and only shows one point of data in it. But only until I press F9, and then the chart is repaired and functions perfectly like all the others!
I have tried lots of things, including checking all source ranges, deleting all graph names etc. and then repaired it so it would work again. The only thing that happened, is that the same error now pops up for another graph in the sheet. Still, when you press F9, the graph functions again!

Sheet1 contains a chart using a dynamic name in Source Data: Values. The dynamic name data is controlled by another cell. When I copy the sheet - i.e. Sheet1 (2) - and change the control cell, the Source Data: Values in the copied sheet still refers to the original Sheet1.

I would like to Use two drop down list with two set of information to automatically update fields.
I have Job Titles (1-6) and Step (1-5). Each Job Title has a new pay rate and each step is an increase in pay. What I am trying to do is set up a drop down list where some one can drop down Job Title and step and have the rate automatically fill in.
I am able to get the Job title to auto fill the rate field, but am having trouble incorporating the step into the formula.
Here is what i currently have:
=VLOOKUP(H6,'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12,3,FALSE)
H6 = Job tilte field on 'WorkSheet' (Sheet1)
'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12 = Sheet2 and Step increases per Job Title
3 = the current column I was working with in order to make the rate appear
False = for exact info
I do not want to combine the two columns but keep them separate drop down list.

I am currently using:
=TODAY() and
=NOW()
to enter date/time on a sheet that is used to create a printed form. I want to ensure that the date/time are current when the form is printed, but they will actually only reflect when the workbook was opened. So, if the employee opens the workbook, then takes a break or answers the phone, when he prints the sheet the date/time may be wrong.
I need to have the worksheet either:
1. actively update the date/time information constantly
2. update it before printing,
3. or possibly have the workbook "time out" and close if there is no activity for 60 seconds or so.
I already have code entered to prevent a "do you want to save changes" promt when closing. And I am using a command button for print which closes the workbook automatically once the employee prints the form (to ensure that all other data is entered fresh everytime the workbook is used).

I have a simple problem. I have many worksheets which all contain data in the first four columns. I want to be able to create a chart (a scatter chart) in the first worksheet which plots the data on that worksheet and then format it how I want it to look. This I can do.
Next, I want to copy and paste that graph into all the other worksheets, but have the pasted graphs display the data in that worksheet.
As it stands, in Excel 2010, all the pasted graphs keep showing the data in the original worksheet irrespective of which worksheet I now have them in. This seems to be different to older versions of Excel and is very annoying and has to be changed by hand which is very time consuming.
How can I make charts that don't have the worksheet name in the cell reference, or how can I paste a chart so that is updates the references to the same row and column but in the new worksheet?
I know I could copy and paste the entire worksheet and then manually copy the new data into that copy of the worksheet - but that is not a real solution to this problem.

So, I'm setting up an accounting book. There's a master sheet that needs to pull from the other sheets that are made. The problem is, with each new sheet that is made, I have to update the formulas on the master. I would like that if I made a new sheet, the master would automatically pull from it.
Example:
Master pulls renter fee info from May 3rd, May 7th
I create sheet (May 15th)
Master pulls renter info from May 3rd, May 7th, May 15th

I've manually inserted of what I'd like the program to be able to figure out, and a description of what I've tried, and failed at, so far.
The product codes and prices would of course all be unique, I've just mashed this together so there's some generic info, and I'm not divulging confidential.

I have a sheet that retrieves data over the internet and have an issue that when update sheet I loose cell reference to cells below that I have used to calculate average. This might be easy but I just can not figure it out. See attached sheet. When you update sheet 1 I loose the reference in B5 of sheet 2. Is there a way to maintain the same reference even though rows are added?

I have a worksheet that lists all employees (past and present) (Worksheet A). I have another worksheet that I am sent from our training department that lists monthly test scores (Worksheet B). The worksheet containing the test scores only contains current employees, and the employee list changes from month to month.
Is there any way to have Worksheet A match up employee John Q. Public with the row for John Q. Public's in Worksheet B? I would like to be able to import the test scores automatically regardless of which row the employee in on in Worksheet B.

I need to link information between two sheets.
In Sheet2 I have a list of products with their description in adjacent columns such as prices and other information. Sheet1 is a MasterSheet of some of the products listed in Sheet2. So I would like to write a macro that links the information of the product from Sheet2 to Sheet1 if I type the products name in Sheet1 (MasterSheet). The list of products (Sheet2) is updated in a regular basis, so by linking the info I would just need to update Sheet2 and Sheet1 would update as well.

** Note all invoices are in the same folder
I essentially would need the Master Project Sheet, to have instructions to say. Research the folder of invoices, when you find project number 001 and plumbing (job performed), then grab C1 and D1 off of the contractor invoice and place it into the corresponding project name on the master, in the case above B2 and C2. Is that possible?

I have created a spreadsheet that I must fill out daily. this worksheet has averages that must be automtically shared with a "master" worksheet.
for example
information from sheet2!b23
information from sheet3!b23
information from sheet4!b23
etc...
must automatically be transfered to
sheet1!c6
sheet1!c7
sheet1!c8
etc...
in that order
at this time I am typing in =sheet2!b23 on sheet1 everytime, I want to avoid this.
If you are asking yourself why? I dont blame you but it needs be this way so I can average each days spreadsheet.

1. Is there any way a Cell can automatically be updated? for example:
On Citi Bank worksheet, As soon as a deposit matures, I insert another row and enter new fixed deposit data on "Row 13", but then I have to manually change the references on "Row 4" so that it points to the new "Maturity date" and the "Interest" and the "Current balance".
Is there any way I can automatically update Maturity, Interest rate and Current balance as soon as I enter new deposit information.
2. On the "Fixed Deposit Report" worksheet. Is there any way the list of deposits can automatically sort based on the maturity date as soon as I enter the new deposit information?

I have a file with 2 worksheets:
The "On" worksheet represents ALL of the students that LIVE on campus (freshman, sop****re, juniors, seniors)
The "JS" worksheet represents all the juniors and seniors going to school here
I need to know which of the JS live OFF campus.
So.....I need a macro that will compare the JS worksheet to the On worksheet and create a new worksheet called Off and populate it with those JS that are not in the On worksheet.
The "On" worksheet contains:
A B
Last First
The "JS" worksheet contains:
A B C D E F G
Last First Street Street2 City State NY
The new "Off" worksheet should contain the same columns as "JS"

I'm trying to build is a master Excel sheet for a company-wide budget tracker, where our supply person enters in information on individual orders. Those orders would be broken down in separate worksheets based upon department.
So, let's say you have three departments. Each department has an identifier code (Human Resources would have HR, Operations would have OP, and Research & Development would have RD.) Each order number is prefixed with the department's code, then the other columns deal with dates ordered and received, cost of the order, and any notes on the order.
What I'd like to be able to do is to have each order be automatically filtered out to secondary worksheets, based upon which department the order belonged to.
I have seen a macro that allowed one to push a button and break data out like that, but the problem is that it created new worksheets each time, and I want the department worksheets to stay the same (since each of those can expect to have starting budget figures updated by the supply officer.)

I have a workbook with many sheets, all of which derive information from the first sheet. On the first sheet, I enter values from say J1:J29. Each of these values is fed into one of the subsequent worksheets. I would like to have some code that would look at my range, determine which cells are used and print the corresponding worksheets. Write now I have a bunch of If statements that say
If Sheets("Worksheet").Range("j8") > 0 Then
Sheets("698-ALY W1222").PrintOut
End If
the problem is that it takes to long as each statement is evaluated and the print command sent.
The values in column J have names in column I and while the names do not exactly match the worksheets, a person could look at the name and match the correct sheet. For instance the name in column I that corresponds to the worksheet name 698-ALY W1222 is 698/ALY.
Thanks

I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to use as the 'master'. I want to break down this master by category (Column D) and label the worksheet by category (AA, Code, SQL...)
I need for the code to search the D1:D500 column and find "AA", "Code" or "SQL" and place the entire respective row on each respective worksheet. Then sort by colmn E. There are columns a:h that need moved to each sheet.

I am trying to write a Macro so that my Mastersheet has a command button, that when clicked, will update itself with information from 5 other worksheets. I only need it to update new data and not data that is already there and i need it to copy it into the mastersheet in the next available blank row.
I am working with a mastersheet created by someone else and I have created the 5 worksheets. All the columns are exactly the same in both the worksheets and mastersheet. The mastersheet has 2 sheets, the front sheet ("Front Page") has the command button and the second sheet ("Activity Log") is where i want the new data to appear. I have very little knowledge of VBA, I have recorded a few macros and have used that to create the code i need to open a closed worksheet but I dont know where to go from there.

I am using the formula below to sum across several worksheets, and the formula I am using works fine, but when I copy the formula across to other cells, I can't figure out how to have it update my cell range:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!A:A"),$B4,INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!G:G")))
The range A:A is ok to be static, but I need the G:G to be dynamic so when I drag it to the right it will change from G:G to H:H. I:I, etc.
