Finding The Rightmost Value For A Non-continuous Range?
Feb 25, 2014
I have a set of data that has repeating column headers. So, on a sheet called "January" I have "Forecast" and "Actual" headers that repeat over and over underneath "Week 1", "Week 2", etc. On a different sheet (called "2014"), I'm trying to write a formula that will produce the latest or rightmost number underneath the "forecast" header. What I want is to be able to input data into the "January" sheet every week so that I have a record of progress and I want the "2014" sheet to show the latest data for every month.
find a continuous data range in Column A of a worksheet with a header in A1. But now I'm thinking that I asked the wrong question. Each day I have new data (a series of numbers) that are moved into column A of a spreadsheet. I never know ahead of time how many numbers will be in the data set. And I need to perform a series of calculations on the data. I need to do the following:
1. Find the range of the data set. 2. Perform a series of calculations on the data set. 3. Report the results in a new location.
If #1 is pre-defined, then #2 and #3 are very easy. However, #1 is causing problems. I can find the range as a string:
I'm trying to use Indirect in a formula where named range refers to multiple non adjacent cells; e.g. ever other cell {A1, A3, A5... etc}; however, when I use indirect, I recieve a #ref error. Replacing the indirect with the actual named range will make the formula work just fine, or using a named range that a continuous range works fine as well. It seems that indirect doesn't like non continuous ranges. ?
I am building a macro to conditionally edit cells that meet certain criteria within the current selection:
Dim FinalStr As String If CheckBox3.Value = True Then For Each cell In Selection If cell.Font.ColorIndex = Range2.Font.ColorIndex Then FinalStr = FinalStr & "," & StrConv(cell.Address, 1) End If Next End If FinalStr = Right(FinalStr, Len(FinalStr) - 1) 'To remove extra "," at the beginning
What I am getting from this macro is a string like "$I$27,$J$27,$E$28,$F$28" that I use later to edit that range, for instance
Range("$I$27,$J$27,$E$28,$F$28").ClearContents
It worked fine, however, I found later that XL cannot handle more than 20-30 individual cell addresses. The error msg I am getting is: " Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed " Note that it won't be very practical to pick the cells and edit them within the same loop since there are several criteria times several edit options.
I have a big sheet and i want to create a mask where i can insert a value and in a ListBox appears all accurrences of this value and the other in the same row.
I created a listbox where, with the RowSource proprety show me LAST row where there is the value i want. Now i want a list of rows not continous in the sheet. For example i have this sheet:
A1 Jim B1 23 C1 1998 A2 Steve B2 27 C2 2010 A3 Francis B3 23 C3 1992
Now i want to search all people with 23. So i want in my ListBox appears:
I am searching for the best way to loop thru col A and highlite cells with a fill color of green. I then wish to copy and paste these cells to another WS.
In an employee attendance file I am trying to count the number of times an employee has taken 3 or more days of leave together (continuously) in a month. My attendance file looks something like this
sat sun mon tue wed thus fri
[Code] ..........
In the example above E001 has taken 3 continuous days leave twice so formula should return 2, for E002 & E003 the answer would be 1 each.
I have a spreadsheet with the last row of data residing in differnt colums of each row. I'd like to be able to look up the last (non zero) value in each row - which is the value furthest to the right in each row.
I have a range of 30 cells in a row. From that row there are groups of cells that have data that might be 1-7 cells populated in a row and in between these groups are blank cells in the row. I need to see what is the highest number of cells in a continuous row that contain data, what the mode is for continuous cell counts, and what is the average value for the data from the continuous cells. The average is a nice to have but not entirely necessary as most cell data will be fairly similar and I can get a close enough average just by knowing the average number of cells that contain data in a row. I have to do this calculation for about 1000 rows of individual data so its important a formula fit in one row.
Almost need a count function to count starting with each cell and then stopping at the first no no value it finds. Then it would show those counts and I could run a formula to pick the highest count and also show the mode of counts.
I will let the experts at it!, my weak mind could not think this one through. I thought something to do with MATCH for a while but no go from what I could do.
I have data in a column and each cell has an extra character at the end of it-
house; farm% school bus> football- trip to europe"
I once saw someone remove the characters with either a =LEFT( or =RIGHT( formula with a comma after the reference cell and some kind of FIND" " statement.

I am using the following Selection_Change Event to show a UserForm when a cell in 1 of 31 named ranges is selected.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 31 If Not Intersect(Target, Range("StatPost" & i)) Is Nothing And Target.Value = "" Then If Target.Offset(0, -8).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -7).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -6).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -5).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -2).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then....................
Assume I filled some cells of a worksheet (in Excel 2007).
Now I place the cursor in one of the cells and dragged the cursor to the right side. As a result more and more empty columns are automatically added at the right side even I do not enter something. Similarly rows are added at the bottom when cursor is dragged downwards.
Correspondingly the horizontal (and vertical) slider shrinks because the dimensions of the matrix grows.
Is there a menu/function which let me do the opposite?
Something like a trim/shrink function which cuts/deletes all empty columns beginning from the right side resp. rows from the bottom?
I have two sheets of data and two tables (1=finial 2=data comparison) I am trying to figure out some kind of formula or vba that can easily tell me that the location point in table one data comparison matches the location in table two. The VPMDFS (location footage) in table two or NDE data can be a range, say vpmdfs.NDE + or - 3 ft. so the ILI or source record should fall in between this range. Once the match has been made I need to copy and paste that record onto sheet one all in the same row. I have been scratching my head and researching for weeks and cannot come up with a simple solution. My problem with all the scenarios that I've tried is the formulas what the data in the data comparison sheet to already be in the same row. Please reference my attached work book for examples.
I want to be able to find all the 0 differences (i.e debit = credit) cut that group out of that sheet and paste it to a new sheet in the same workbook. I have the code to find the 0 difference but I don't know how to select the range that makes up that difference and cut and paste it to a new page.
In another cell, I use Data.Validation.List and use "MyList" as the source.
Now I find another range named "HisList". Is there some way to determine if "HisList" is being used as a source for some other validation somewhere in the workbook?
The data I need is in the middle of the worksheet (A16:B41), is there way to define the range so that excel only looks at that range and finds the last row of data?
Is there a property to, given a certain range, return the name of the range?
I have used the name property and gotten a name in the form worksheet!address, but I am trying to return the name that I have given the range.
I was planning on using:
'returns the name if it exists, else returns "" Function findName(myRange As Range) As String
Dim name As name
For Each name In ActiveWorkbook.names If name = myRange.Address Then findName = name.NameLocal Exit Function End If Next
findName = "" End Function
However, this code isn't working because when comparing name to myRange.Address, name includes the worksheet that the range is on, but myRange.Address doesn't.
Even if I get the above code to work, it will take quite a while because I have many names in my worksheet, and would be running the findNames function many times
I have two columns (one is mean and the other is max) and the third column, I have the corresponding letter. I have in total 5 rows with mins and maxes and corresponding letters. I want a function that when i put for example #3 on cell D9, then my cell E9 will spit out the corresponding letter.
See the attachment : find the corresponding letter.xlsx
Above is one of the formulaes that I am using and I tried editing, to no avail.
Anyway here it is, I need to search E4 - E30 for a particular name, lets say Pandy. Now if pandy is found, then a cell on another tab has to equal a cell which is 2 cells on the left. from which the cell which contains the name is located.
here is a psuedo version of it...
Search E4-E30 Find a cell which contains 'Pandy' If pandy is found, 2 cells to the left then a cell on another tab is equal to that.
I currently am working with a worksheet that has over 250,000 data points. It is a spreadsheet for a company in which different work order are organized. A given work order can have several parts (ranging anywhere from one component to 40ish) and thus the height of the cells in which each specific work order is placed differs from work order to work order. For each component, the spreadsheet tells you how many can currently be made based on the materials available. What I would like to do, for each specific work order, is go through the data and simply tell whether or not the work order can be completed (the quantity of each specific component needed is also given in the spreadsheet) and then report out exactly how many components can be made.
Ultimately, this means that a "limiting factor" analysis must be done. For instance, if the work order is asking to create plastic bottles that consist of the bottle, the cap, and the label and it asks for 3 bottles but only 2 caps are able to be made, the limiting factor would be the caps and thus only two bottles could be made and the work order could not be fully completed.
The spreadsheet is set up based on another worker here, I am just trying to come up with a way to analyze it. Cells A1:Axxxxx are the work order numbers and the size of these cells differ because they are merged to fit the number of components they have. The componenets available are then ranged C1:Cxxxxx etc and the quantity needed are also listed in a similar fashion. What sort of structure could I use.
How can I determine what the bottom row is in a range in VBA? I have an SheetChange event sub that takes in Target as Range. I want to know what the first/last row/column is in the Range. So, for example, say the Sheet has values in A1:B5 and I paste over A1:B4. Target will be A1:B4. I need a method that returns 4. I tried Target.End(xldown).row, but that gives me 5 (since theres data in A5).
I have the code below which does work and looks up a piece of text in A1 (in this case the word exhaust) within the contents of column B. If the text is found (either part or whole) it returns a Y and if not an N in column C.
It works fine but I can't work out how to get it to repeat should I then want to look at a value in A2, A3 etc without removing any Y had Y already been displayed due to a prior word in the list. Below are the results I'd want.
Sub FindSomeText() 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Range("C1", Range("C65536").End(xlUp)).Clear keyword = Range("a1").Value Range("b1").Select Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) If InStr(1, ActiveCell.Value, keyword) = 0 Then
I am trying to update our sickness spreadsheet for work to make it a little more 'intuitive' and less cumbersome to use. There are dates (by day) accross the top, with staff names below. If someone is off sick, the manager writes the number of hours lost to sick in that day, under the correct day, then uses back color / font color to show its sick.
Our work uses a 3 periods of absence or more over a rolling 12 months and the staff are issues with a warning, same with over 8 days off sick. If they are off for longer than 14 days they are long term sick.
I would like excel to show whether each staff member has met any of those criteria in the last 12 months by either highlighting their name or putting text into an adjacent cell.
I have tried using offset, named ranges and anything else I could think of to automatically increase the range +1 day very day, but I cant !
