explain or point me the right direction for the problem below: I need to find a way to vlookup a spreadsheet that has changing dates in the file name such as filename_xx.xx.xx. This is a piece to a macro I'm currently working on.
View 2 RepliesHow can I edit a cell's value without changing the formula within?
for example:
cell A2=$B$2
cell B2=$A$2
-I allowed for this circular reference and now I want to be able to change the value in one cell and have it appear in both cells without removing formulas.
I currently have some code in VBA that for each line creates a vlookup and a second one that takes the left part of a cell, depending on where a "/" is located in the cell as below:
For i = 2 To FinalRow
Cells(i, FinalCol + 1).Formula = "=VLOOKUP($A" & i & ",LookupList,3,FALSE)"
Cells(i, FinalCol + 2).Formula = "=LEFT($F" & i & ",FIND(""/""," & "$F" & i & ",1)-1)"
Next i
The issue I am finding is that running the 2 formulas for 4000 rows is taking approx 5 mins. The end user doesn't need to see a lookup, the value stored from the result would be fine.
is this possible. So that the value of the cell is a result of a formula I have created?
I have a sheet (sheet2) that this week has the formula
Cell B2
=Sheet1!D2
Cell B3
=Sheet1!B2
Next week I want the formula to be
Cell B2
=Sheet1!F2
Cell B3
=Sheet1!D2
And so forth.
Each Column has the Week ending date (a sunday) in Row 1. So D2 represents this week and B2 Last week, until next week when D2 becomes the 'last week' and F2 becomes the this week.
The inbetween letters contain another set of data for those weeks so i will apply the same formula to these.
I want to copy =d8*k10 into several cells, but the references keep changing. I've tried several things that I've found on the internet, but nothing seems to work and the I can't seem to copy to a columnof cells.

Among other things, I have a workbook with these worksheets in it: Hours, Cost, Profit, Revenue.
Columns A, B, C & D should be exactly the same on each worksheet. So, I have all the data for these columns entered into Hours, and then reference that worksheet on the other ones.
That works fine until I sort it differently and then instead of having row 2 reference row 2, it will be in row 9, etc.
Now I know I can use =+Hours!$A$2 for the absolute reference, but then i would manually have to change the reference on each cell.
SO - (finally the question) Is there a way to use the absolute reference without having to manually enter it into each cell?
I have a function Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW1) in row 1 and dragged down 129 rows so the last reads Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW129). If I insert a row the cell reference does not increment automatically below the insert location. How do I get it to do so. The insertion occurs when I run a macro.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got an issue where Formulas Referencing Cells on another sheet are getting changed automatically to refer the the moved cell data. The formulas on a sheet (2) refer to specific cells on sheet (1) within my workbook. I update Sheet(1) data with a macro. When sheet (1) updates, the present data gets shifted to the right.
In other words, I need to prevent the formulas from changing to reference the moved data values and keep referencing the initial cell with the new values. xample of change that occurs with update:

Basically I want to point my Excel sheet to a bunch of external Excel files. To get data from an specific cell (in this case, cell F10) of the external file, all I have to do is this: ...
View 9 Replies View Relatedhow I can have a formula repeat down a column five times before it changes to another formula? For example. Say on tab 1 I have a list of products. On tab two I have five codes that repeat down the page over and over again. On tab two next to the repeating codes I need to repeat product one 5 times and then skip to product 2 on the 6th row and repeat five times and then skip to product 3 on the 11th row and repeat 5 times and so on?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have one sheet with all the formulas for the entire workbook and would like to copy and paste the formulas from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2...Sheet 1 to Sheet 3 etc. without changing the cell referening in the original formula. I am not too sure how .formula works.

I am trying to cut/paste a row of formulas in my spreadsheet. The problem is that I want some of the referenced cells in the formula to stay CONSTANT and not increment on each new row. In this example, I want the references to row 17 (F17,E17) to increment (E18,E19,...), but I want the "G7" reference to remain hard coded (as G7) on each row I paste (because that is where my master value is). (The formula is working fine) =IF((F17>0),IF((F17<=G7),E17,0),0)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list of pricing and I want to be able to change the text of cell, say "D1", which says "Standard" to say "Premium" and all the formulas would change in accordance. The "Standard" pricing would be, Starting D2, "=C2*.3" and I want them all to go to "Premium" pricing which would be formula "=C2*.35".
What would be the best method of creating this function or formula?
need to do to the below code so that when i drag the formula down it changes the sheet number....sheet1, sheet2, sheet3 and so on but keeps the cell reference the same?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a more general question. When doing something such as loading a picture, is it possible to be able to have code which the loading file name changes with a variable. For example, if I have pictures with names 1.jpg thru 120.jpg(all in the same directory) is it possible to write a code that loops and loads the proper image without having to write a section of code for each file name? This would be the directory(C:Documents and Settings muzaDesktopNew DatabaseDatabase Images312312_250) so could I code the filename calls something like this with having picname be the variable which goes from 1 to 180:
.Pictures.Insert( _
"C:Documents and Settings muzaDesktopNew DatabaseDatabase Images312312_250" & picname & ".jpg").Select
I have a blank file and a data file for current year with formulas.
So I am trying to take a couple of tabs from current year data file and pasting them into the blank file.
My question when is do that all the formulas get referenced to the current years file. i want to keep the same formulas but reference the tabs on blank file.
Is there a quicker way to do this rather and going into all the cells and changing reference from current years files data to blank files data.
This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.

I'm currently using this code found on Mr Excel
I have a file that keeps setting it's "Saved" property to False when I change something in another file. I cannot find any external links in the file.
The file used to be "Personal.xls", but I renamed it.
I am trying to use code in a VBA macro to change my file to a read-only file at the end of the macro after I've done a few other things to the file. I'm using this line of code:
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
This code does in fact change the file to read-only. After the macro finishes I see "Read-Only" in the title of the file. However, when I close the file and re-open it the file is no longer read only.
I've tried changing the code to this:
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
ActiveWorkbook.Save
But that doesn't work because it tells me I can't save the file after it's been converted to read-only.
I am a file that I want to open with VBA, however, the name of the file is refreshed everyday and the name change everyday as well. (Ex. on 5Jun, I would want the file named ABC0406.out, and on 6Jun, the file I would want would be ABC0506.out)
Noticed that the "ABC" and the ".out" do not change. It's just the date is one "weekday" before. I've tried the "dateserial" formula but can't get it to work.
my formula is as follows: =(VLOOKUP(A7,'[Monthly AR Analysis - Feb09.xls]AR - Current'!$A$1:$I$153,8,FALSE)). I will be using this for formula on about 15 different worksheets ... my issue is the file name changes every month and currently I have to go in and do a find and replace, I would like to have one main page where I could change the file name month and it will change all the rest.
ie: Monthly AR Analysis - Feb09.xls next month changes to Monthly AR Analysis - Mar09.xls .... So basically each month I want it to pick up the new file that has been saved with the new name. So what I would want is to be able to have a cell that I could change the Feb09 to Mar09 and then it would do the same to all the worksheets. I attempted to use CONCATENATE to change file name and it worked but will not work within the Vlookup.
I've got a macro set up to copy a range of cells in one workbook, open another existing workbook, and then paste that range. So far so good.
However, I need the macro to also save a copy of that second workbook with a filename that is derived from the original workbook.
To be a bit clearer, let me give an example of how I'd like this to work. Let's say the original workbook is titled Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, and I have a second workbook titled UploadFormat.xlsx. I want to run the macro in Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, have the data pasted to UploadFormat.xlsx, then save UploadFormat.xlsx with the file name Pickle2014-03-14.Final.xlsx.
I am running the macro below which changes details in my spreadsheet using details from an external table.
Range("C7:E36").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("C42:E51").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("C58:E69").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=15
Range("C75:E86").Select
If I want to perform this process without having to change the directory to the t drive etc, how do I change the macro? Is there a way, that as long as each of the relevant sheets are in the same directory, i can point the macro there? Ie, as long as all saved together in My Documents or Desktop, the macro automatically looks there?
I have Workbook1 that I need to update from another Workbook2 in a different location on the network. Workbook2 is read only. Workbook2 is generated automatically with a name like "product 06-14.xls". Now my problem is that, since it get created automatically, the next day it will create a new workbook with a new name "product 06-15.xls" leaving the old file in the same directory for future reference.
I need to update a cell with the new current date up to the completion of the month plus the beginning of the next month to make it a complete month, so a completed month will be from 05-01-2006 to 06-1-2006 because the last day of the month doesn't get recorded until next day. What I have problems with is the looping to go to the next day until the beginning of the next. Then stop and start again on a new cell inputting the new month.

In VBA, how do open 2 new windows, and allow for the fact the file name will change (or name the new windows the current file name)? My current file name is "Metal.xls"

I am trying to find a way to dynamicly change CSV files .What I want is to add another column to the table with the values that based on the pre programmed parameters. For example if i have A,B,C,D columns and rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 I need macros to add values in column E based on the values of column B(for example)
I want to be able to pre-set those algorithms.For example for value 1033 in column B I need macros to insert value 1.25 in column E in the same row,for value 951 in column B I need 0.3 in column E in the same row. Is it doable just in Excel?

I'm trying to put together an accounting spreadsheet that is able to pull information from other files.
So I have a staff member, let's say "Rick", and I have created a file with all his details in it aptly named "Rick".
I also have a file called "Year Accounts" which pulls information from other files to basically give me a simple yearly overview.
I want to be able to pull my staff details into this one (tax file number, wages etc...)
To do this I want to be able to put his name "Rick" into A1 And A2 to go to that file and get the information from cell A5 in the "Personal Details" page Then in A3 to go to the "Wages" page and get cell B3
The following formula almost works, but where/how do I add the page reference as it only goes to the first page? =INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!A5")
Can I use a vlookup combined with IF function to lookup up to a different file dependent on what the cell says.
For Example cell a1 could have the value Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe dependent on what value is entered the lookup would "lookup" against the file named Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe.
In any other software, when I save a copy, or export to a different format the original file remains unaffected but in an excel it seems to work differently...and I end up having to save my file back to the xslx format. this extra time wasted when I am regularly exporting but it also makes me a bit nervous that I might accidentally not save back to the format with all my worksheets etc etc..
