I want to do a search for the amount of people of a certain age in a column, but I want to be able to vary the amount of cells I look in. So first I might want to look for people aged 15 in A3:A35 and then in A3:A55 to see if there is a difference.
Now the optimal way to do this, in my opinion, would be to have a reference that looks like A3:A(B1) and then have the number of the last cell I want to look in in B1, in this case either 35 or 55.
It is suppose to be that if the employee is "FT" and has worked >=4 years the return is 15. But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!
I have a sum field in excel which contains the formula to compute sum of certain cells. For eg. Cell C1 has value (C2+C4).
I have written a vba code to find cells whose value are to be included in the sum field (variables Lrow1,Lrow2 and Lcolumn1,Lcolumn2 contains the row and column number respectively). These cells may differ each time vba code runs. Can I write formula in the sum field based on Lrow and Lcolumn variables.
I am trying to Copy Cell from one sheet to another sheet starting on A7 and then going to V ? i have a formula that figures that out for me just need another formula or VBA to copy it to the new sheet. i will attach the a test of the file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out a simple spreadsheet that can spit out tournament payouts based on a flexible number of players (we might have 55, 60, 100) and flexible percentages based on the pot size (if we have 100 players, we would like to pay more players than if we had 50).
Something like [input number of players] [input pot size] [input # of payouts] [input percentage of each payout] it would just save a ton of time as we're trying to calculate payouts on the go.
I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd
Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000]
If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "" Then
With Sheets("Log")
I set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
=COUNTIF(E14:Z14,"*Y*")
=COUNTIF(E11:Z11,"*DI*")
I need a formula that will return the minimum value from a column range that flexs without having to manually go in an change row references. There is a blank row between each section of data in order to separate info. As an example:....
Need to formula to flex to include rows 5 thru 7 in the first section but expand to include rows 9 thru 13 in the second section. =MIN(A5.A7) works but how do I get next section to flex to =MIN(A9.A13) without manually changing the cell references? There is always a blank row in between the sections to separate.

I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.
I have 2 inventory reports: what my store has and what my supplier has. I need to copy Tab1:K# to Tab2:T# provided that Tab1:A#'s contents match Tab2:A#'s contents. The A column represents the SKU of the item, but there is a difference in the amount of SKU's in each (my store sells ~6,000 items, supplier has ~10,000 items), so it's not as simple as sort by column A and copy pasting column K to column T.
For instance:
On Tab 1, A2's value is [1], K2's value is [9.38].
On Tab 2, A70's value is [1], K70's value is blank, but I need it to be [9.38], to match Tab 1's respective SKU.
I almost thought I had it figured out with VLOOKUP, but I cant seem to get it right... It doesn't reference the correct number.

Second tab, store's stock: [URL]
Assume I have a cell M24 with a formula like
=M10 + $H24 - $I24*0.35
As you can see B10 is a fix reference (due to omitted $) which should NOT be auto-adjusted but be kept.
Now I want to copy the formular to lots of cells below cell M24. therefore I mark cell M24 and click copy in context menu.
Then I drag/expand the blinking cell border to lets say the 20 cells below. As I result I expect e.g. in cell M25 a formula like
=M10 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
Unfortunately I got
=M11 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
So the fix reference is adjusted as well.
How can I tell Excel 2007 to NOT auto-adjust fix references in formulas?
I'm using Excel 2003 and I'm trying to make my LINEST function and the source cells for a scatter graph use the cell range specified in another cell in the document. I figured out that it was simple to do the following:
I250 contains: 10, shows: 10
I251 contains: ="I"&I250, shows I10
But I can't figure out how to do this in a larger function. I've tried a few things but none of them work. Here is an example where I want it to do a LINEST with y values in cells Ja - Jb and x values in cells Ia - Ib (where a and b are integers specified in cells I250 and J250 respectively):
Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
Code:
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=""ABS()>.005"""
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority[code].....

My macro uses the solver 100 times. Everything is working well, but it's a little bit slow because of all the cell references.
I was wondering if it's possible to use the solver with variables without cell references?
I'm looking to do something similar to a Paste Special -> Transpose, but rather than pasting values or formulas, I want to paste cell references to the cells that I just transposed.
E.G.
Sheet 1:
A1 = 1
A2 = 3
B1 = 2
B2 = 4
Sheet2:
A1 = Sheet1!A1
A2 = Sheet1!B1
B1 = Sheet1!A2
B2 = Sheet1!B2
This would typically be an easy exercise, but I have a set 205 rows long and 12 columns wide. A little long to do it one by one.
If I have values in cell B5:B8
B5=0
B6=3
B7=7
B8=10
I want to have a standing formula in Cells J2:M2 that will always reflect whats in those cells. I don't want to use transpose nor do I wnat something as simple as J2=+B5,K2=+B6,etc.
I would like to know if there is a formula that would add the values in a certain row to a cell
For instance:
I want J2 to reflect what is in B5 AND I want K2 To reflect what is in B5 plus a row which would be the value in B6. I have a reason for doing this as I am going to import 120
ranges beginning at a1 to I30 on each sheet while having the sheet I am importing to have these formulas starting at J2.
I tried using +cellnumber+row, but it just gave me the row number and not the actual value in that cell.
Here is what I have at present:
At the beginning of a loop, my cursor is positioned on a row. I want to test two cells on that row.
Depending upon the result of the two cells, I want to make the row a certain color.
After that, I then want to move down to the next row, test the same two cells in THAT row, color accordingly and loop again until I reach the bottom of the spreadsheet.
My problem is this:
If I can use a loop that lists various conditions, along with the corresponding statements that color the row accordingly, how can I when finished increment the cell references so that the conditions change to refer to the cells the next row down?
If a loop is not possible, any suggestions you have for solving this problem would be appreciated. I have about 200 rows so am trying to condense my code; this may be hampering my ability to figure out the solution.
I am trying to code the following in VBA. Excel Cells have formulae like: '=+BZ165-BZ163-BZ162-BZ160-BZ159-BZ157-BZ153'. Now I want to write code in VBA which will be able to give me the individual cells referenced in this formula: BZ165, BZ163 etc. These names can be stored in individual variables or arrays.
I will then use these for further processing. Note in cases where formula refers to data in another sheet like: '=Projects!P49' or data in another excel like '='C:Documents and SettingshoskopDesktop[Annual.xls]Quarterly'!BA$502': I would like to store the path , file name and sheetname in variables/arrays as well.
Any pointers as to how I should approach this problem?
Lets say I have two sheets titled "dashboard" and "raw data" in a workbook. Cell A1 in "dashboard" should always show the most up to date data from Row 1 in "Raw Data".
I update "raw data" daily, adding a new column to Row 1. For example December 19 would be A1, December 20 would be B1, December 21 would be C1 etc...How can cell A1 in "Dashboard" always reference the newest cell in Row 1 of "raw data"?
I would like to reference cells in another tab in my worksheet, but change the orientation.
For example, in Tab 2, I want to make rows A1:A26 equal to columns A1:Z1. Do I have to click back and forth between worksheets 26 times, or is there a way around this?
I have a macro that cleans up data on one sheet, text-to-columns, flip rows of data, etc. Another sheet references the cells AFTER the data has been cleaned up. However, I can't put the cell references in from Sheet1 to Sheet2 before I run the macro because it breaks the references.
Just a simple example, Suppose cell A1 contains the formula: =Sheet2!B5.
If I go to Sheet2 and run the macro to clean up the data, when I got back to Sheet1, cell A1 contains: =Sheet2!#REF!
The idea is that this is a template, and the user can input aggregate data, run the macro to clean it up, and then go to the other sheet. I can easily create the macro to add copy/paste between the two sheets, but I'm looking for a cleaner way to do this.
I'm having problems with the MATCH function. If I use =MATCH(A2,'c:myfile.xlsx'!MyRange,0), it works. A2 is the value that I want to look up. 'c:myfile.xlsx'!MyRange is the full path of a range in an another XLSX.
However, if I assign the file name to a cell and try: =MATCH(A2,A3,0). where A3 has the exact same path as the line that work, Excel returns #N/A. I also tried a match on a range in the same tab of the same spreadsheet, and it didn't work. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? The file location of the external XLSX is going to change, and I wish I could just update one cell rather than every single cell that contains a MATCH.
I have a formula that references data on another spreadsheet with multiple worksheets. I have a new worksheet for each month (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...).
How can I copy formulas in series that keep the cell references the same, but change to the appropriate month. So for the forumula below, I want to fill a series down in a column to represent each month.
Right now I have to go in and edit it to change the month to the next month (i.e. change Jan to Feb.)
An example of the formula is below. In this case, I would want to fill the series down a column and have the months update in series but keep the cell reference the same.
=SUM('[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$M$19,'[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$N$19,'[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$Q$19,'[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$L$47,'[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$K$47,'[New 2008 sales report linked.xls]Jan'!$S$47)
Is there a way of getting the cell references in a formula change following a change in the content of a cell in the worksheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a hyperlink inside one workbook from sheet1 to sheet2. The main requirement is that I can copy the formula down and it changes accordingly the hyperlink name cell reference as well as the hyperlink destination.

I found the following Formula to be useful but I can't seem to change the "B5" as it either handles the cell like text or as a reference of the current sheet.
If I try to leave it without the "" Excel tries to get the value of sheet1 b5 and if I use the Address function the Address input numbers don't change either when I copy them down.
