In Excel have a customer list, and notes associated with each of them. On my form, where I perform a search (by customer name), I would like to link the Text Box to the cell with notes. How can It be done dynamically?

My Example
I have Master Book1 which has external links to Book2, Book3 and Book4.
My Formula in Cell B2 is ='D: empxl[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
In Cells A1, A2 and A3 I have the text entries 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
Is it possible to use these Text entries to update the Formula I plan to copy down from B2 onwards?
i.e. Formula would read something like ='D: empxl[ Book"A1".xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
I am trying to convert a formula that refers to another workbook as text.
E.g. in cell A1 the formula is "= '[Management Pack for January 2014.xlsx]Monthly Income Statement'!$G$23"
How do I in cell A2 show the reference "'[Management Pack for January 2014.xlsx]Monthly Income Statement'!$G$23" as Text?
The above formula changes the whole time.
In short I what to be able to check a check box and have the adjacent cell, which contains the tab name, to then reveal that tab and add a link to the tab to cell contain the tab name. I have done this with copying and pasting existing linked cells, but now I have 100 more to do and I do not want to write repetitive code to get it done.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a dynamic chart title by inserting a text box in the chart title that displays the value of the last populated cell in column A. The number of rows increases over time, so I'm trying to come up with a dynamic cell reference. When I hover over the text box a tool tip appears with this text "TextBox 2" so I assume that is the name of the text box. I'm definitely open to other methods that do not use vba. It seems that none of this code can activate the text box:
Code:
Sub textbox()
Worksheets("Figure3-5").TextBoxes("TextBox 2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Value
End Sub

I have a workbook that gets saved many times with many different filenames.
All I want to do is have cell A1 display as text the name of the file.
eg similar to the date function, there should be a = filename function .
I have built a userform and want the text boxes to access information from a worksheet when I click on the button that displays the userform.

For instance, I will have several columns in the first worksheet (Sheet 1). For each entry, a tally ("X") will be added under the applicable columns. Most of the column headings are pretty straightforward. To keep things uncluttered, I want one of the columns to have an auto-link (?) feature so that when the user adds an X in this one column (we'll call it Column D), the user will then be auto-linked to another worksheet (Sheet 2) in the workbook. Sheet 2 will have room for more information regarding Column D, Sheet 1.
I have created a cover sheet with various command buttons linking into the available worksheets. I was wondering if it is possible to set the title of the command buttons by linking them to the text in a particular cell in each work sheet??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I basically am trying to just reference another cell (from a pivot table) from another sheet. ='SHEETNAME'!G5
But I Need the G to change... I basically need
='SHEETNAME'! + E29 + 5 to equal
='SHEETNAME'!G5 assuming G is in E29 but am not sure how to do this.
The other option is to use =GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of Amount_19",'SHEETNAME'!$A$3,"Label","Title") but I need "Sum of Amount_19" to change based on another cell, lets say F29.
The way I have try to define lastcell is wrong. But I don't know how to do it.
Code:
Sub createUniqueRecordID_2()
'
' fill using CTRL + ENTER
'
Dim lastcell
Sheets("projects list").Select
[a1].Select
[Code]...
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've searched the forumn but have found no resolution to my dilema. I'm trying to accomplish the following:
I would like to apply an Alternate number to a job that meets a certain criteria. The criteria is based on a Marker, which should be automatically determined based on the count of total jobs that are Estate or Custom. The Alternate number needs to be applied to certain % of the Jobs. What I've done is to get the count of jobs Estate or Custom then based on the count I have applied the Alternate % to determine the actual number of jobs that should have the marker applied. Here is where I need the help. The next step would be be to apply the marker to the number of jobs. I'm not sure how I can accomplish this task. Attached is an excel spreadsheet with an example of what I'm trying to achieve as well as what the end result should look like.
Using Dropbox, a lot of people will fill in formulas in personal workbooks from using data from another, central workbook. Since I cannot control where they install Dropbox or where they keep their personal workbooks, I must account for that in functions.
Now, my idea is to make them define the directory of the source in their personal workbook in a specific cell and then using that as a basis for the rest of the functions.
Example
Cell A1: C:Usersuser1Dropboxfolder (copy paste from path in Windows Explorer)
Cell B1: A1&[CentralWorkbook.xlsx]SheetName'!$H$1
Basically I want the unknowing user to copy-paste the path of the central workbook into a specific cell in their own workbook and then build my functions bsed on that. How can this be done?
I've managed to get coding that allows me to insert single rows dynamically based on a cell value. Example is if I enter a value in cell C3 the coding inserts the same number of rows below.
I've also created a simple macro that inserts a multiple row block under the active cell, complete with formatting, text and some merged cells. Example is I run the macro and it will insert a block of 3 rows, complete with formatting, borders, text and merged cells.
My challenge is to bring these two elements together. So enter a number in a single cell which will then insert the same number of row blocks, complete with formatting etc. I've added a file to sample what it is I'm trying to achieve. I can add the coding I already have as well.

I have a workbook with several tabs. One tab is named for the year eg 2014. Annually, I open the workbook, rename to the new year and rename the year tab to the next year eg 2014 to 2015. All the dynamic range names update as expected. Sheet2(2014) becomes Sheet2(2015). However, a line of macro code does not change and errors out because the year does not change.
Is there a way to dynamically modify the '2014' sheet reference to reflect the renaming of the year tab eg to 2015 or to reference a helper cell named YEAR?
The cell referenced above R332C1 is dynamic.
I have tried writing the above line many ways based on internet research but no success. I suspect I can use a LEN function to actually modify the line of code but I'm not sure its even possible to alter a macro dynamically to meet my needs here.
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..."
How can I link two text boxes in excel so the text can flow from one to another?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a check box on a form i have created. If it is unchecked (default = checked) then it enables a text box (default enable = false). The problem is if the user changes their mind and recheckes the check box it will not disable the the textbox. The text box stays enabled no matter what the check box's status is. I am unsure how to approuch making the following happen:
checkbox = True ----- textbox = (enabled = False)
Checkbox = False ------- textbox = (enabled = True)
I have 6 text boxes on 5 different tabs all with their own spin button that will push the number up or down, starting from the default value. How do i lock/restrict the text box entry so, the spin button is the only way of changing the value?

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).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a solution to dynamically create named ranges according to the contents of cells in a particular column. The following code works for 1 word names, but in many cases the title cell contains numerous words separated by spaces. Is there a way I can adapt this code so that it will name the ranges with the spaces removed? For example, where cell C2 contains the narrative 'Sales Ledger Control', I would want the range name 'SalesLedgerControl'.
Range("R2:Z2").Name = Range("C2")
The named ranges are referred to in numerous other worksheets, where selecting a particular narrative from a listbox creates a dependant drop-down in the adjacent cell (eg if Sales Ledger Control is selected, the dependant list contains names of customers). FYI, the data validation in the other worksheets ignores the spaces in the range names, ie: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(G2," ",""))
It would not take me long to name the ranges manually, but a macro is preferable because the narratives in the title cells will often change and the range names will obvioulsy also therefore change.
I have a long list of Titles in Column A. I want to be able to paste a link into Column B and it automatically searches the text next to it. I would like it to be simple. Something that is the same for every row, so I can bulk copy and paste.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to have a link that uses cell data as the passed function parameter!
I want to do this so I can simply copy the formula down for new rows and not have to create a command button for each row?
Maybe there is an entirely much easier way to do what I want?
FOR EXAMPLE, the 1st column would be a link to an entry form passing the 2nd column which would be an ID field.
I wanted to enter value in sheet1 on A1. Columns in sheet2 from B1 until the value entered in sheet1.A1 should be automatically filled.
E.g.
Sheet1.A1=5, then Sheet2.B1=1, Sheet2.B2=2, Sheet2.B3=3, Sheet2.B4=4, Sheet2.B5=5.
if Sheet1.A1=3, then Sheet2.B1=1, Sheet2.B2=2, Sheet2.B3=3.
if Sheet1.A1=7, then Sheet2.B1=1, Sheet2.B2=2, Sheet2.B3=3, Sheet2.B4=4, Sheet2.B5=5, Sheet2.B5=6, Sheet2.B5=7
etc.
I know how to create a text link to other cells within a work book but how can I create a button which will do the same?

What is the best way to accomplish this using vba code?
I have a column who's content is determined via about 6 nested if statements from data on that row. That cell is then conditionally formatted to a certain color based on the text that is ultimately printed from the nested ifs (simply an extra visual legend for the text). All of this contributing info and about 1000 lines items make a very large and difficult to print page. What I am trying to do is a make a summary sheet that simply takes the index number of these 1000 rows and copies or links the conditional formatting of the mentioned cell onto this number on another sheet. I have already linked this status cell and put it adjacent to the index number which works well in that with two columns I can show the index and status but if I could combine the color of the status cell onto the index cell, it would be even better. I am pretty sure another conditional format for this summary sheet would not be possible or be extremely complex since the contents of the index cell I am conditionally formatting have no bearing on the conditions for the format. Was hoping there is some VBA magic that could simply mimic the conditional formatting from one cell and put it on another.
