I have a spreadsheet that imports data from a database and into pivot. Several departments use that spreadsheet, but depending on the department, they may want to see e.g. 3, 4 or 5 different fields than other departments.
My spreadsheet also includes a great number of formulas included in a macro, so whenever I get a request to include field X, Y and Z, I end up spending a lot of time adjustning all my formulas to reference the new fields.
I am having a few problems with dynamic named range in excel 2000.
When adding new data to the range, excel extends the range correctly, but only copies some of the formula correctly. It does not copy the formula that references a cell from another line.
I am trying to create a excel spreadsheet and have a formula =e10-e9, which does not copy down.
I have a simple range, say, A1:G1. I want to have another cell, H1, reference whatever rightmost cell in the range contains any data. All the cells in the range will be using text.
So if B1 contains data, I want H1 to show what's in B1, but if data is inputted into F1, I now want H1 to show what's in F1.
I have Sheet1 which contains a cell named "Limits" which refers to =Sheet1!$B$12.
Now I wish to have Sheet2 which should contain a cell named "Limits" which should refer to =Sheet2!$B$12.
How do I get the reference Limits:=Sheet1!$B$12 (highlighted in red part) to change dynamically according to the sheet I chose?
I'm trying to create a dynamic COUNTIF function that references a previous cell.
For example, if I have 10 columns:
A B C D E F G H I J
a 1 b 2 c 3 a 1 b 3
I am trying to write a function that will let me reference A1:J1 and then if the cell contains an A, do a countif among the cell+1 for cells that have a value of "1". In this example, that function would return a count of 2. I think that I need some kind of combination of IF, INDIRECT, and COUNTIF, but I'm not sure how to string them all together--or maybe there's another way altogether.
Is it possible to loop through a list of sheets and execute some calculations that have sheet references from a different list of worksheets? For example, you have a list (list 1) of your worksheets, which will be the destinations of the calculations, and you have a second list (list 2) of worksheets that the calculations are based on. So, lets say there are sheet1 and sheet2 in list 1, and sheetA and sheetB in list 2. The calculations based on sheetA would appear in sheet1, and calculations based on sheetB would appear in sheet2. I thought the code would look something like this:
Code:
Sub LoopthroughWorksheets()
Dim sheet_name As Range
Dim sheet_name2 As Range
Set sheet_name2 = Sheets("WS").Range("F:F")
[Code] ......
I'm getting a "Run-time error '1004: Application-defined or object defined error" at this line:
Code:
.Range("K1") = .Range("sheet_name2.Value!A14").Value
I'm working in Excel 2010. I'm trying to create a dynamic range, using the OFFSET function. I've got it working beautifully but as soon as I save it and close the Name Manager the range stops working. When I go back into Name Manager I find all the cell references have changed (from C1:C600 to C1048572:C595 - or some other strange range).
P.S. What it's doing isn't so important as when the cell references are right it works. But just for full info: It's an OFFSET function, starting at A1. It will look at a list of companies and use a Match function to find out how many rows to offset (based on where the first instance of a particular company. And it uses the COUNTIF to make the range the same number of rows as there are entries for that company.
Here is my broken function:
=OFFSET('Map Point'!A1048572,MATCH("Company Name",'Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595)-COUNTIF('Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595,"Company Name"),0,COUNTIF('Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595,"Company Name"))
I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
Here is the scenario:
A B C D
BananasApplesOrangesTotal113=A1+B1+C1
I need to reference the formula in D1 with the cells headers names.
In a perfect world, it would take
=A1+B1+C1:
and produce:
=Bananas+Apples+Oranges
I am using vlookup to get a cell value from another sheet, but if the cell has "&" or "/" I need to substitue "&" and "/" with "and" so that the cell can be added later to a url.
i am using =VLOOKUP(a1,Sheet2!A1:W17968,6) to get the value of a1 in sheet 2 and return the value of column 6
this will return "Audio Cables & Leads" but i need it to say Audio Cables and Leads
I need the formula to also check and replace "/" with "and" as well so cables/wire will be Cables and wire
I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd
Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000]
If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "" Then
With Sheets("Log")
Column O is names and column P autogenerates email addresses with
=CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(O2," ","."),"@company.com; ")
So, John Smith becomes
"john.smith@company.com; "
That's perfect. I want to move it to another worksheet. When I paste it to Worksheet 2, A1 I get
=CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(Sheet1!O2," ","."),"@company.com; ")
So why does that only generate "@company.com; "?
Is it possible to make a back-reference in a cell formula similar to regular expressions?
Example:
=IF(I15=FALSE, [H17 * INDEX(Percentages,I17+1)], IF(A17="", $1, 0))
...where [ ] indicates the actual reference and $1 indicates the reference number
I have a worksheet that will be referencing data from a 2nd open workbook.
Although the 2nd workbook will contain common worksheet names (eg stats), the file name will be volatile.
Consider the formula in wb ws1 cell A1 used to copy a value from wb2 (39961(28-May-09).xls) ws1 (stats) cell B1 if workbook 2's name was static.
='[39961(28-May-09).xls]Stats'!$B$1
In my case, the reference file will always be different and must be substituted in the forumla above (red portion). How can I adapt my formulae recognize the available workbook. I have the file name available now in cell C4 of WB1.
I am trying to code the following in VBA. Excel Cells have formulae like: '=+BZ165-BZ163-BZ162-BZ160-BZ159-BZ157-BZ153'. Now I want to write code in VBA which will be able to give me the individual cells referenced in this formula: BZ165, BZ163 etc. These names can be stored in individual variables or arrays.
I will then use these for further processing. Note in cases where formula refers to data in another sheet like: '=Projects!P49' or data in another excel like '='C:Documents and SettingshoskopDesktop[Annual.xls]Quarterly'!BA$502': I would like to store the path , file name and sheetname in variables/arrays as well.
Any pointers as to how I should approach this problem?
I want to sum A2 to B10. The catch is: I have the letter "A" in cell A1, the number "2" in cell B1, the letter "B" in cell C1, and the number "10" in cell D1. In effect, I want to make a function =SUM("A1B1":"C1D1") such that it gives me =SUM(A2:B10). Hopefully, the answer will work for any function (e.g. SUMIF, COUNT, VLOOKUP, etc).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
=COUNTIF(E14:Z14,"*Y*")
=COUNTIF(E11:Z11,"*DI*")
It is suppose to be that if the employee is "FT" and has worked >=4 years the return is 15. But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!
I have a sheet which needs to look up one reference and then fill a table with the rest of them.
EG:
Cell A1 contains '0091 911'!$E$2 (cell E2 contains value 100)
Cell A2 contains =indirect(A1) and displays value 100
I need a formula which will auto fill the remaining cells in the table.
eg:
Cell A3 fills to contain '0091 911'!$E$3 (row +1)
Cell B2 fills to contain '0091 911'!$F$2 (column +1)
so it needs to fill the Indirect reference and not =indirect(A1),=indirect(A2)....
I am running a research experiment in triplicate. Upon generation of data for all three, I create an averaged value of the three. I then take this value and do more calculations with it on a separate sheet. I wanted to know if there was a way in which I could quickly generate formulas based on a changing reference cell.
Example Data:
V1A 28
V2A 26
v3A 30
AvA 28
V1B 20
V2B 22
V3B 18
AvB 20
Vxy represents the value of y sample, x triplicate. V1A being sample A, first triplicate. AvX is the average of the three values.
I want to be able to generate a formula that references AvA which can be applied to the cell immediately below to reference AvB. A simple example would be to square the average.
For example things like "=1+A1" or "=A1*B1"
Right now it changes the cells even with Paste Special!
Is there a way of getting the cell references in a formula change following a change in the content of a cell in the worksheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a userform that populates a list of names. As a name is added in column "D" column "C" updates a reference number using the formula =IF(D2="","",C1+1). I can get the formula to copy to the spread sheet but as a new name is added the formula stays the same. If I enter a name in cell D2 everything is fine but when I make the next entry in row 3 the same formula is entered as if it were text and not as a formula. so I wind up with a column of formulas that all say =IF(D2="","",C1+1) reguardless of what row the formula is in.

can Excel do a double if formula by looking at cells and not fixed type info.
EG: I have a % achieved and $ bonus to pay: however the % achieved & the $ bonus to pay information in the cell will change each month
So... I want the formula to say
=IF (look for cell A1 (which has %achieved) and if found use A2 ($bonus) to give me an answer... otherwise false

I am working with some fairly long formulas and I am looking for a way to highlight those cells AND work in the document. I know you can click in the cell and it will highlight them, but if you click off the cell the highlights go away. Is there a way to keep them highlighted?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a "CURRENT MONTH" tab in a workbook; in that Workbook, I have a standard report that pulls Total Revenues from cell C6 of the tab I want to reference.
For example: In my "CURRENT MONTH" tab B6 has the label "CURRENT MONTH REVENUES" C6 has the formula "='May 08'!C6"
Every month I have to change that formula to "='Jun 08'!C6" as an example for June. (it's not just one formula, there are dozens referencing May that I need to change to Jun).
I could do an Edit/Replace, but I'd rather just type in the current month tab name in another cell and have the formulas pulling the data referencing that cell.
I have noticed that if I create a row and put a reference formula in one of the cells (i.e. in Cell B3 I have "=B4", to show contents of B4), then after I do Sort and Row 3 moves else where, formula in what used to be B3 no longer points to B4, but rather to B<new row + 1>.
Absolute reference doesn't seem to be an option (i.e. "=$B$4") since after sorting rows in question the cell references in my B cells do get screwed up. I guess I want to bind a certain cell to a certain other cell, and keep that bind no matter where I move the row.
I'm using a macro to update individual formulas in a sheet that contains data from external documents. (i.e. ='C:September[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$AZ$1 + 'C:September[Book3.xls]Sheet1'!$BA$1 ) Every quarter I have to change the column references in this formula (i.e. $AZ$ will become $BD$ and $BA$ will become $BE$ and so on). Also I have to change the September reference to December etc (but I've mastered this already). My current code works well, but requires manual updating:
Dim ColumnReference1
ColumnReference1 = "BD"
Dim ColumnReference2
ColumnReference2 = "BE"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("H48").Formula = "='C:September[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$" & ColumnReference1 & "$1 + 'C:September[Book3.xls]Sheet1'!$" & ColumnReference2 & "$1"
My problem with this method is that I need to automate the updating of ColumnReference1 = "BD" to ColumnReference1 = "BH" to ColumnReference1 = "BL" and so on and so forth. It's handy that the reference shifts across 5 columns, which remains constant. Ideally, I'd like to tell the macro to look at "AZ" then add 5 columns.
I have a rather complicated workbook with many VBA formulas. When I close it down a window displays "A formula in this workbook contains one or more invalid references". verify that your workbook contains a valid path, workbook, range name, and cell reference.
This only happens when I close the workbook. I seem to have all functionality. How can I find the invalid reference.
