I've got this small (?) problem here. In a range of about 150 rows and 30 colums, I have to edit the cell formula, i.e. add something to the existing formula. For instance, in all the cells in column C I need to add " + D9" to the existing formula, in all the cells of column D I have to add " + E9". Is there a way to do this in VBA ? I would already happy to do it column by column, but I'm really reluctant to edit 4500 cells manually.

For example, the cell A1 in sheet "sheet1" contains formula "=sum(Sheet2!B1+Sheet3!B1)" and I would like to use VBA to edit/change it to "=sum(Sheet2!B1+Sheet3!B1+Sheet4!B1+Sheet5!B1)" and so on
Have a macro that copies a formula from each of 100 workbooks to a new workbook. I want to display these formulas as text and want a macro or someway to display these cells as text. I have tried to record a macro that presses the F2 key, the home key and the apostrophe. This works for the one cell but provides the following macro that does not work for anyother cell.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"'=VLOOKUP($A$30,'G:Variance Reports FY07[Salary Dist Var Repts_Cur Mth.xls]end of July'!$E$76:$G$200,3)"
Range("B3").Select
I have tried numerous versions of macros I found. Most get the same error of; Range object error or script error.
Here is the formula: VLOOKUP(C$13,VESSELS_DATA,ROW(30:30)-12)
What I would like to do:
1) double click to on the cell with the formula
2) goto the worksheet "DATA_TABLES" that contains the Named Range "VESSELS_DATA"
3) go down the rows until the c13 is matched
4) offset column the same as in the above formula "Row(30:30)-12"
The formula below works apart from the first bit which i want to be if F23 says 'fail' then i want the cell to say 'no dissertation' but if f23 says pass then i want the formula past that bit to be put into action.
=IF(F23="Fail",0)*IF(COUNTIF(B22:B45,"Dissertation")=1,IF(VLOOKUP("Dissertation",B22:C45,2,0)>39,LOO KUP(F26,{0,40,50,60,70},{"No Dissertation","3rd","2:2","2:1","1st"}),"No Dissertation"),"No Dissertation")

I have a cell that uses list type data validation. I need to be able to update the list of allowable values via a macro and would greatly prefer not using a range in excel.
I've been able to create the string that I want as the formula but cannot change the formula. I'm not very familiar with this aspect of excel macros (data validation)
I have an array formula i use to sum data by specific criteria:
=SUM(IF(Input_Sheet!$A$2:$A$1000>
=DATEVALUE("01/04/2011"),IF(Input_Sheet!$A$2:$A$1000
=DATEVALUE("??/??/????")
So that it searches for any date and replaces with the new ones, but obviously the use of quotation marks with the wildcards makes this difficult in VBA.
How to link the cell values in with the "Replace with".
Code:
Sub findrep()
Dim target, cell As Range
Dim i As String
Dim k As String
i = "Input_Sheet!$A$2:$A$1000>=DATEVALUE("??/??/????")"
[Code]....
I have a template that I have hidden the formulas but allowed editing. Is it possible to create a pop up box for the end user to use to edit a cell with the hidden formula? This is a budget template with already set up formulas but the end user needs to be able to make edits but the end users are beginner excel users and if they double click on the cell the formula will automatically delete leaving the cell blank. I need a way around this so they cant view the formula but only change the data if they really mean to change it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this huge formula and I want to run it in one row, across 350 columns:
=IF(IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(3:3))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(3:3))-10,1))="","/////",IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(3:3))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(3:3))-10,1)))
The only thing I need to change from one column to the next is the four places where it says ROW(3:3). I need that to ratchet up as it goes across to the next. The cell to the right should say:
=IF(IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(4:4))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(4:4))-10,1))="","/////",IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(4:4))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(4:4))-10,1)))
Then the next cell to the right should say:
=IF(IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(5:5))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(5:5))-10,1))="","/////",IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(5:5))-10,1)),"",INDEX('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307,SMALL(IF('Allocated & Spent'!$F$11:$F$307="x",ROW('Allocated & Spent'!$G$11:$G$307)),ROW(5:5))-10,1)))
etc., etc.
How can I fill across so those go up and I don't have to fill in those four numbers 350 times?!
Is there a way that formula links in spreadsheets can use environment variables to reference formulas in other spreadsheets/addins?
For example, I have a spreadsheet that imports templates which call functions in an addin. The spreadsheet, templates and the addin could be installed into either the 'Program Files' or the 'Program Files (x86)' folders.
I am experiencing issues with the formula references when moved between 32 and 64 bit computers since Excel seems to store the full path of the addin in the Excel formula (even though it hides it when the reference resolves its path) in my templates. I would like to update the references in my templates so that they use an environment variable (set by my software installer) to always know the correct path of the addin.
In Excel 2003, spreadsheet links are edited via: 'Edit'->'Links'
In Excel 2007 and higher,'Data'->'Edit Links'

I am using a lot of double click routines in my sheet. In order for the sheet to be more user friendly I have used the comments of cells to tell the user what to do. For instance "Double click to choose type" or some such. Everything works great except that after the user selects what they want from the userform and it hides and the focus comes back to the sheet, the comment is in edit mode. While this is not horrible it is not as nice as I would like. I have tried to have my code send the active cell to another cell and then back, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the comments from going into edit mode?

My manager needs to edit values in a spreadsheet. This person is non-technical and put off by spreadsheets, so I want to create a custom view of the data to show only the editable data (with pretty colors and fonts, etc.)
I have a source worksheet and a display worksheet. I need the display worksheet to show the values in the source worksheet, and I need changes in the display sheet to change the referenced data in the source sheet. For example, if cell Source:A1 = "thingamabob", then cell Display:A1 = "thingamabob". If user changes cell Display:A1 to "hoodgie", then cell Source:A1 changes to "hoodgie".
Essentially, the user has to be able to edit the source cell via the display cell.
Is that possible?
Again, please excuse my ignorance -- for all I know, this may be an automated function in Excel... but I've been trying to figure it out for two hours and so I thought I'd ask you nice people.
I have Form Button in Excel Sheet which Calculates by reading other excel sheet. Now the problem is when user enters data in a Cell by double Clicking on it and after entering data if he directly clicks on a button then Macro that needs to be invoked is NOT executed. The only way is that he needs to press EnterKey OR Click on any other Cell and then click on the button.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to query a column and find the cells that have been incorrectly coded. For example the coding standard is #<reference number>/. Sometimes people forget the "/". It is not as easy as using search and replace because the string may have more contents than the above.
For example it may show: ATM/45678/#789876 dt. 1-2-14/ or it something like CHQ/44384/#78987600.
There are many permutations. So I need to find the cells that don't have a "/" following the #<reference number>, then allow a user to enter the slash. At this stage, I don't need code to find cells containing errors, I think I can figure that out. I do need to know how to allow the user to edit the cell as part of the macro. Once the user corrects the error, the macro should then continue. Is this possible?
I have an event handler that runs a procedure when a user double clicks a cell. This procedure modifies the contents of this cell and other cells. I want the user to be able to select the cell so they can double click it, but I don't want them to be able to single click it and modify it by hand (accidentally or not). Is there a way to lock/unlock the contents of the cell without locking the cell itself?

I need a formula that will extract the "died single" and put it in the adjacent cell.
his is of Jaafarian proportions. This is in relation to an earlier post on dragging and dropping. That is all worked out thanks to help from board members. For the sake of your own curiosity, this project will tile worksheet windows (actually specific ranges from other worksheets and other workbooks), borderless, within a single userform and allow dragging and dropping between ranges that reside in different workbooks. That is all worked out as well. The only roadblock I am running into right now is that I cannot edit directly in the cell when the worksheet is displayed in the userform. Probably has something to do with placing a worksheet in a userform to begin with.
CTRL-R to show the form or run maco, "ShowForm". If you double click a cell and attempt to go into edit mode, it will appear to be locked up. It's not, just hit enter to escape the cell. The problem is the userform is a child window of the application. Hence, focus can pass to the parent window or another child (the formula bar in particular) which is exactly the behaviour expected. How do I get around this?
I'm trying to create a macro which will edit the content of a cell and update. I'm just using the "Record New Macro" option in tools.

I need to be able to copy a formula from a row that is 180 rows before the current cell.
I then need to edit the formula so that the rows all start at 6. then i need to change the column references.
The formula that I am editing looks like this after it has been copied from before:
=IF('Entry Form Portrait'!$d870="m",IF('Entry Form Portrait'!$n870="a",'Entry Form Portrait'!$a870,""),"")
So I need d870 to be changed to d6, the n870 to be changed to o6 (current column +1), the a870 to be changed to a6.
Then this resultant formula to be copied to the next column and a6 changed to b6, then copied to next column again and b6 changed to f6.
Then all 3 columns to be copied (or autofilled) down 105 rows.
I tried to do it by recording the macro, however it only works for the first time that i use it, and then just keeps repeating in the same place. I need it to use the cell i have selected as the starting point.
