Dynamic Formulas- List Of Serial Numbers In A Column
May 26, 2006
i have a list of serial numbers in a column, say column a, for example, and i have corresponding data in columns to the right of this, say just column B for example- I also have a header on column B which counts the data in column b. (just a COUNTA, counting occurences of 'x' )
my issue is this: i need to limit the range of the COUNTA dynamically- by the number of serial numbers in column A. for example: if i have 10 serial numbers, i want my COUNTA range to be B1:B10 (excluding header) and... i need this to be a built-in formula, NOT a VBA macro. i need it to update automatically, as soon as another serial number is entered. i've tried using references to named ranges and all sorts of language tricks, and i cant seem to get it to work. (such as:
' =counta(b1:namedrange1)
i'm going to have to do the same thing with COUNTIF's, so if that is also easily explainable,
I have a dynamic list of items which I have to assign serial numbers to. If the serial numbers go in sequence, it would have been easy. But the problem is, they don't.
They go from A1 - A9, B1 - B10, C1 - C10 .... Is there a way I can assign an array to ensure that once the macro hits A9, it starts from B1, and once it hits B10, start from C1?
I'd like to use a SUM formula to add together the numbers in a column, however i would like to do this missing some rows out........ ie; A1:A11 plus A13:A20 plus A22:A30.
I would also like to do this with another column containg fractions.
Sheet4 in my book looks like this: .............A.......................B................................C..................
I......Invoice No…..…Starting Serial No……...……Ending Serial No 2…………ND12………..6011000000013652……. ..6011000000103652 3…………ND13………..6011000000116526……....6011000000246977 4…………RF4……….….6006000001255724……..…6006000011249564 5.........RF4...........6005000000023652.........6005000000095624
note that the last 4 numbers of the series are randomly generated for security reasons and are not part of the range of the the serial No’s
So Invoice ND = 10 consecutive numbers, Invoice ND13 = 14 and Invoice RF4 = 1000 and RF4(again) = 8
The list on this sheet is a mile long
What I need is a “search box” with two windows in it
In one box I will type a serial number and in the second box I will get the Invoice number
The challenge is that the serial number could be between Starting and Ending serial No’s thus if I were to type serial number 6006000001086598 in the first box the answer in the second box will be : RF4
I have in my sheet from C13 to C350 many serial numbers which I manually type them in. These serials are 5 digit numbers, and I was just wondering if there's a function or formula that will not allow duplicate numbers in that column.
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:
I am trying to get Excel to write a series of incremented serial numbers to an external program. I need 10 per line, then for the code to send ENTER and start writing on the next line. Following is my current code:
For i = 0 To qty - 1 SendKeys prefix_sn & next_sn + i & "," Next i
I have a spreadsheet with a list of about 3800 lines of dollar values in "K" that correspond to various serial numbers in "E".
These serial numbers come up multiple times at different place throughout the 3800 lines.
I know by using SUMIF I can calculate the total value of each serial number, but is there a way to bring the serial numbers across to correspond to the sum of the dollar values?
I have a userform for keeping records and would love to incorporate a new feature. I would want to generate a random serial number for each entry made with the userform.
I've modified this macro I found on this forum, all it does is compares 2 lists of 6 digit serial numbers and and then tells me which numbers are in list 1 that are not in list 2.
However, I want to modify it so that it also gives me the numbers in list 2 that are not in list 1 (put into column F). I then need it to cut the matching serial numbers (in columns A and B) from sheet 1 and paste them into sheet 2.
my spreadsheet has duplicate serial numbers in column A and the corresponding row in column B has mutliple descriptions for the same serial number. I need to combine those descriptions into 1 cell rather than having multiple rows for the same serial number. is there an IF formula that I can combine with a concatenate that will capture what I need?
I want to make continuing serial numbers in excel in order to print labels to be able to track my deliveries. i know i can drag the fill cursor to automatically make it go the next number. however i also want my serial number should represent the month and the day the invoice was printed.
for example i want the serial number should be
column a (Jan 01) column b (Jan 02 ) column c (Jan 03) a1-01-01 a1-02-01 a1-03-01 a1-01-02 a1-02-02 a1-03-02 a1-01-03 a1-02-03 a1-03-02
The first number represents the month (example -a1 for Jan) The second number represents the day and The third number represents the invoice
How can i make that when i pul the cursor down it should continue with the invoice number
However when i continue right it should move the day number?
Say column A has either numbers or text in each cell, I need a macro to only get each number in each cell that is not a duplicate of a number in any previous cell and list each number found down column B.
i Am trying to get this project underway and can attempt this manually in excel but will take ages. I was wondering if there is a code I can use. I am trying to get a 7 character alphanumeric serial number for units as a 4(alpha) and 3 numeric number. like say AAAA001 , i want to list on a row all the numbers on a sheet right upto ZZZZ999
I am attempting to create a form in excel with dynamic data validation fields. What has me stumped is that I want to create multiple complex dependencies (for instance, if you select something from a drop-down list in the first field, that then gives you a specific range in the second field. Then based on what you placed in the second field it gives you a specific range in the third field.). What I can't seem to work out is the formula for making this work.
Is this impossible? Also sometimes the third field my be blank.
Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish
Col A - budget items (description) Col B - budget dollars Col C - actual dollars Row 10 - summation Cols B and C
When the budget is prepared the actual dollars in Col C are equal to the budget dollars for all items. For instance the formula =b2 is placed in cell C2. As time passes the user records actual dollars in Col C for each item by entering the actual amount directly into the cell. Actual dollars do not become known all at the same time, so that Col C will contain a mixture of formulas and entered numbers.
How can I highlight the cells in Col C that have entered numbers rather than formulas.
1- I have a list full with numbers in a column. And I want to count how many digits are there in every cells. If digit of the number is less than 7, macro will complete it to 7 digits by adding 0 (zero) at the beginning of the number.
Example: A1 = 85468... A1 value is 5 < 7 in this case our number will be 0085468 (total 7 digits)
PS: sometime, when numbers start with 0 (zero), excel delete all 0 value at the beginning of the numbers. Macro should prevent this error.
2- I have another list with 2 columns which arranged in order. I mean: A1=xx1, B1=xx2, A2=xx3, B2=xx4, A3=xx5, B3=xx6... etc. One is at A column, next number in B column.
My request is I want to make this list 1 column as arranged. A1=xx1, A2= xx2, A3=xx3, A4=xx4... etc.
3- Macro will add a new line to the end of the above list with this format: Z00001xxxx
Z00001 is static xxxx is number of the full cells of A column plus 1. It will be 4 digits. If count is less than 4, it will complete it to 4 digits. Example: if there are 15 cells in the list, last line will Z00010016 (15 + 1)
I have a spread sheet that has three sheets, PROJECTS - TIMES - LISTS Time sheet.xlsx PROJECTS contains a list of 'In Progress' and 'completed' projects for work, with relevant other data, I.e. PROJECT No. / STATUS etc This will grow to 1,000's of rows TIMES will contain the amount of time a person spends on a PROJECT on a daily basis. This will grow to 10,000's of rows LISTS contain basic validation list for the first 2 sheets.
Part A I would like to have a validation drop down list for the PROJECT NO column in the TIMES sheet that only lists the PROJECT NO from the PROJECTS sheet where STATUS <> COMPLETED. I.e. I only want to display the PROJECT NO's for current projects.
Part B Even though I only want the PROJECT NO used, can the drop down list also contain other column's data for reference information only before one is selected.
If I have a worksheet and it has 100 rows, I would like for column D to auto-populate with a predetermined formula all the way down to row 100, not row 101.
I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e. First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11 Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25 & make a Validation list that will list content of both
I have a list of people in column A and in B to E there are 4 numbers from 1 to 13. (Each person has 4 different numbers). In the next 24 columns are concatenations of these numbers in every order possible. On a separate sheet I have a list of concatenations of all possible combinations of numers 1 to 13 in groups of 4. e.g. 1234, 1235 etc. I have then counted how many times each of the concatnations from the first sheet appear. What I want to do is put the names of the people whoes concatentaions match the ones on the third sheet.
I have been browsing this site for some time but never posted. It looks like a great community and looking forward to learning!
I am trying to create an array in VB that searches an entire column (L) that has nothing but numbers in it. I want to search for all numbers that are >= 6. If the number is greater than six store the value in column A. At the end, I need to display a message box that has all the values in A that match the criteria where column L is greater than 6.
I have found all kinds of copy to other sheet formulas and static finds.
What I would like to do is have a macro check a column for any occurrence of a few different numbers, and then enter the text "n/a" in a different column of each row that one of the numbers doesn't appear in.
I have a list of part numbers that require a certain operation, and I'd like to mark off a cell for each item that does not require that operation. I've attached a simple spreadsheet that should help explain this better.
I'm working with a dataset from a survey that has recently taken place. The original structure of certain questions in the survey were multiple choice. The ideal structure for these questions, in terms of variables, is that each possible option for the question (A,B,C,D... etc) have a separate value, with a 1 for yes (reported) and 0 for no (not reported). In other words, if Question1 has multiple possible answers (A,B,C...), then there should not be one variable created from this question, but rather, there should be a variable for each possible response: Question1_A, Question1_B, Question1_C, and so on. And within each of these variables, should be a 1 or 0 depending on if that option was reported or not.
The format I received the data in, though, was a single variable with a list of letters, (e.g. B,D,F) for each option reported.
Variable: Question1 Row 1 A, B, C Row 2 B, E, F Row 3 B, D, E
The data I have right now is housed in Excel prior to exporting to SPSS and/or STATA. I need to find a way to distribute these values into separate columns (variables). The tricky part, is that if I simply use "text to columns", it distributes the letters to new columns, but doesn't take into account that the first value reported might not be A. Is there a way to take the list of values in the single columns, and distribute them to assigned newly created columns?
