Dynamic Table: Get The Formula In The Cell To Update Dynamically
Aug 21, 2006
I have a table which takes the average of the last three years. The formulas are in cells below the data. The data is set up to be first data down to the oldest data. each time data is added, a row is put in on top. how do i get the formula in the cell to update dynamically. What would the average formula look like in the cell? Do you just say =average(name of file!RANGENAME).
I have a Big Question about the SMALL Function in Excel. I would like to know if it is possible to use a syntax that will make the small function update my graph dynamically.
Personnel transfer out of the Department on know dates... but they come in to the Department all the time. I would like to know if I can increase the "range of my data" even if I don't have data in the cells (i.e. B2:B6 have data, I want the range to include B7:B16, which has no data)... When I have no data in the cells I get errors/ circular references...
Ideally, I would like be able to add or remove personnel and the SMALL function would "organize/update" my graph dynamically. Is this possible?
Setting the XValues property gives an "Unable to set the XValues property of a series class".
Using the chart wizard, trying to set the category labels parameter of the chart wizard to a range doesn't give an error message, but does leave the category labels section of the chart (when I click and view it) blank.
When I step through the code, tempstring is "='LineReg Results'!R9C1:R19C1", which is correct, but I still get an "unable to set the xvalues property of a series class" error.
Interestingly, if I record a macro of me setting the category labels, and play it back, I also get the error.
I am trying to get the following routine to work. I need this formula to run dynamically when a user changes cell F27.
Sub PotentialUnitSales() 'Dim x As Range Set Range("J27:J200") = "R[1]C[5]-(RC[5]-RC[3])" 'Range("J27").FormulaR1C1 = "R[1]C[5]-(RC[5]-RC[3])" rng = Range([J27], Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp)) End Sub
I want to write a formula that inserts a column and then does a vlookup in that new column using the cell just to the left of it as the first variable. The problem is, this could be in any random column so I can't do a static reference to $A2 as an example. So, my question is...
Instead of using =vlookup($A2,Sheet1A1:B50,2,false)
How do I replace the $A2 part with some code that says, "the cell to the left of here..."
I'm trying to create a dynamic sum formula off of a table of data which is then used in pivot tables and pivot charts. What I would like it to do, is show me the summation of values AFTER a filter has been applied. Everything I've tried returns a sum of the entire table (includes hidden cells). Perhaps I'm searching with the wrong query terms (this not called a dynamic sum formula?)
Using slicers and pivot charts, I need my account managers to be able to look at their territories quarterly performance vs. a "fair share" of company performance during that quarter. I.e. they would select the slicer for their region, and dates (ex april, may, june) and the pivot chart would show territory performance during that time, with a second column chart series which is company total from april/may/june (my dynamic sum) divided by the 8 territories...thus giving me what should be "fair share" during that quarter. Each territory has equal Opportunity, so this would allow them to see who is over-performing and underperforming in their territories.
I am looking for better way to copy formula and paste it to dynamic table (I don’t know how many rows there is at the table). The procedure takes long time for the user. (the table may contain more than 30,000 rows !!).
In this file Vehicle Fuel Tracking.xlsm I have a pivot table set up to filter my data. Next to the pivot table I have a column that Totals the Mileage based on the MAX and MIN of each group. I am looking for a dynamic formula to keep the totals alligned if data is added or deleted from the pivot table.
I would also be open to changing the data table to accomodate this request if needed.
I have a pivot table whose data source is located on a shared network drive. Each day a new data source is uploaded and the only thing that changes is the date in the filename (ie. DataSource080813.xlsx). I am trying to find a way to set the data source to update with todays date automatically each day so that when you open the workbook it is always current days data. I have a cell (B2) with a formula in it that gives me the file location of todays file (ie. X:TeamFolderFile1DataSource080813.xlsx, where the date is derived using the TODAY() function. Is there a way to set the pivot table data source to cell B2 and have it use the text from B2 as the file location?
I am having a excel vba code that copies tab from different excel file and then i want to use in sql query. It is always giving me error saying that "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'rahul'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. If 'rahul' is not a local object, check your network connection or contact the server administrator."
Though, when i rerun the macro after reopening the excel file, it is working fine. Seems like tabs dynamically created cant be used. Is their any way to get it done at runtime? I want to delete new created tab once data from new tab is inserted to required tab.
my macro calls first copyAllSheets(filename) and then writeSheet().
Code:
Private Function copyAllSheets(ByVal fname) Dim destSheetCount As Integer Const FUNCNAME = "copyAllSheets" On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fname) destSheetCount = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count + 1 wb.Worksheets("Buyer").Copy after:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1) ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(destSheetCount).Name = "impBuyer"
[code]........
This is part of code so probably it wont be easy to understand the flow. but mainly i want to know how can i have newly created tab as table_name.
I wonder if is it possible to get data in the pivot table dynamically?
For example, I do insert data through the userform [ new department] and when I run the report I see the new entered data in the pivot table. will I have this new department title in the list box in the pivot able?
But this uses column A as the longest column... but sometimes it will be column I - how can the formula be adapted ? or can it be ? i've been looking at the Max function and trying to incorporate that but my limited brainpower has gone to mush.
I have a list or log that is updated by a number of people on a sharepoint file. The list consists essentially of 2 columns - lets call them Location and Date.
The Locations are populated from a pulldown list but can be repeated a number of times throughout the list. I have the list set up using Table Formatting so the range updates dynamically
Is there a way to generically sort all pivot rows of a pivot table alphabetically each time the table is refreshed? I have a pivot table that pulls its data from a dynamic named range on a separate worksheet. As users add data to the range and refresh the pivot table the newly added items appear at the bottom of the table rather than alphabetically. I know how to specifically call out a pivot row and have it sort alphabetically (see code below) but I still want to allow users the flexibility of changing the fields and order of the pivot rows so specifically calling out a pivot row by field name isn’t going to work. I need to somehow add code that says: For each pivot row (1 to n, where n = number of pivot rows) sort each in alphabetical order.
I have the following vlookup formula in my spreadsheet.
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE))
It works perfectly for my current requirement, but it looks at data in a pivot table which is created from a dataset. If I name the columns in the pivot table so instead of looking at column 67 it looks at a name range will this name range change dynamically when the pivot table is refreshed? If not how can I get it to.
I was hoping that my pivot table would refresh with the new data that I added on sheet 1 but it is not working and yes I have refreshed my pivot table. The new data is not capturing.
I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.
I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".
I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.
Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?
I have created a table in Excel 2010 (pls see attached table named post.xlsx).
Then copied the above table into PowerPoint 2010, using "paste link" (I tried to attach the PowerPoint file but the system says "invalid file type" and I cannot attach it).
Question:
I have received income data for another month - the new month is 13 and the corresponding new income is 100. I typed 13 and 100 into the Excel table post.xlsx and thus extended the table by another column.
Then I went back to PowerPoint slide, then right clicked on the table there, then clicked "update link".
Specific Question:
The newly-typed column in Excel table is not get updated in PowerPoint table.
I have a cell with a fairly long formula for concatenating a large number of other cells. Let's call it cell "A". Due to the formatting and end use of the data in cell "A", I have to copy and only paste the values of that cell into another cell, which I'll call cell "B". What I need to know is whether there is a way for the values in cell "B" to automatically update in the same way they do in cell "A" when data changes in any of the cells that are being concatentated.
I am linking to cells on a spreadsheet and in some cases the formula is showing in the cell and in others the contents of the linked cell. I have forced updating (F9 )and F2 enter with no effect. Is their something i am missing as I want all the links to update automatically. If I copy and paste a working formula into one of these cells it updates albeit with the wrong reference but if i go in and edit F2 etc then it shows as a formula.
I have multiple Userforms with labels etc, all controls are similarily named (so I could do this) and I can refer to the Userform dynamically but the Label caption/Controls don't change, any idea's how to get them working.
I have a weekly report which lists items and their available date. This list is always changing - new items added, old items removed. These items are required for 4 different projects and the item listed says which project the item date is for. There is also the same item across different projects which also have different dates which also appear and disappear each week depending on requirements.
I want to be able to capture the date for each of the items per project per week. Ultimately, I want to be able to track the movement of the date per item per project. I have attached a sample of how I want it to do.
I have 2 excel files A & B. In cell A1 of file B, I use an index formula to refer to a row in file A. "INDEX('[A.xlsb]A'!$10:$10,1,2)" is the formula used (referring row 10 in file A).
If I update the row number in another cell of file B, is it possible for this formula to refer to that cell to get the row number from file A?
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:
I paste new data into a sheet of a monthly report I prepare. For this sheet, the # of data rows change (and is unpredictable) every month. I need the value inside a specific cell that dynamcially moves up and down based on the # of rows for that month (because it's below the rows of data).
So I made a formula to identify the exact cell # every month.
Example:
This month the exact cell is F255 in the "Refi" sheet.
So my formula in the "Summary" sheet cell A1 first finds the cell row # only (255) and since it's always column F, in B1 I have
VB: ="F" & (A1)
This outputs "F255" in B1, successfully identifying the target cell.
Now how do I write a formula in C1 to grab the value from whatever cell is named in B1. (For this month, the value in cell F255 from the "Refi" sheet)
I have a formula in the first worksheet called 'Summary' of my workbook. This formula calculates average of the data in other worksheet. How do I change the worksheet name in the formula dynamically?
e.g. The second worksheet is January. The formula in cell A1 of worksheet 'Summary' calculates the average of the data in the range A1...A12 of worksheet 'January'. When I copy this formula to cell A2 in worksheet 'Summary', the worksheet name in formula remains 'January' and it does not change to 'February'.
One more important thing is that the worksheets are being added automatically i.e I can not define all the worksheet at first go.
