Formula That Advances Column Number While Being Dragged Down Single Column?
Jan 14, 2014
I am creating a tool that is populating information off of another excel document and presenting the information in a different format then the data originally appears. Basically I am unsure how to create a formula, for example, in cell A1, that as I drag it down (A2, A3, etc) the column letter in the formula advances but the row number remains the same. In another words as the formula moves into cell A2, the "Sheet1!D3" changes to "Sheet1!E3", where as normally it would advance to "Sheet1!D4". I just started back up in excel, im sure this is way easier then I am making it seem but I have been unable to come up with a solution.
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?
I need to split in Excel some thousands of data rows containing text and numbers information of different character length Data to be extracted ( parsed) is stored in a single column( the first one) and needed results look like this:
Data to be extracted Needed results Address Name,Surname Phone no. Green Street no 16 Smart town Schmit Anders +3900098787867
[Code] .......
Data is composed by addresses, name of persons and phone numbers. Person's name is has two or three parts, address and phone numbers length is different ( 9 to 12 characters) I need to complete this difficult task (for me, obviously, ) in Excel using a combination of functions and/or multiple operations.
I need to move data in column E to single row (as text string is fine as I can Text to column later) for each unique OSIS number. VB should copy columns A-D to sheet 2 then move each row data for unique OSIS to column E as one long text string separated by common. I can then parse out using text-to-column. Below is the VB code which stops on: txt = txt & Sheet1.Range("E" & x) & ","
I want to be able to look up class code and score by OSIS either using vlookup or in Access with OSIS as primary key.
Public Sub processR2C() pos = 1 txt = "" For x = 2 To 99999
txt = txt & Sheet1.Range("E" & x) & "," If Sheet1.Range("A" & x) Sheet1.Range("A" & x + 1) Then Sheet2.Range("A" & pos) = Sheet1.Range("A" & x)
I am trying to read a value in cell A1 and make say cell B1 read the same. The data in cell A1 is a real time percentage value that gets updated every lets say 10 secs. Every time the data is updated the new value goes into the next cell A2, A3, A4..... and so on. Every time it gets updated (i.e into A1,A2,A3,A4.....and so on), I want to read the new value each time in B1.
I needed to match the width a merged area of seven columns to a single column width (for row autofitting). Adding the column unit values and setting the single column to that value produced a significantly narrower width.
The documentation mentions that the column width unit is scaled to the font type and size and the absolute width is given in points.
This is set by the normal style setting in Excel Options or by VBA application.standardfontsize = 8 (in this case).
For instance, ten columns of Arial font 8 at 8.5 units you would think to be equivalent to a single column of 85 units. In points, the difference is 420 vs. 386.25, or 33.75 points.
Well, the standard character zero has a width at this setting of 4.5 points and 1 unit is 8.25 points, leaving 3.75 points for margins.
Then (10-1) margins allowances time 3.75 points resolves the difference.
Determining the margin allowances is straightforward, and reveals that the gradation with size is stepped by MS design. For instance, sizes up to 11 use 3.75 points for margins and increasing points for characters (except between 9 & 10). Sizes 12 through 18 use 5.25 points, 20 & 22 use 6.75, 24 & 26 use 8.25, etc.
I have created a table for this purpose, however I rarely use a "normal" other than 8, so I can probably use that set in programming.
I have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!
I'm trying to count the number of incidents in column BB that are >0 but only IF the value in column E is "Abbeywood". i.e. how many times there's a figure greater than 0 for Abbeywood. I can't seem to get count if to do this!
I have a file which is divided into 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 years in column A. I want these data in different column according to year. For example, Column E(2011), Column F(2012), Column G(2013) and Column H(2014).
Attaching sample a file with sample data to be converted.
It is also to be in consideration that data in column B and C should not be repeated and all year data should come in front of it.
I want this by coding or formula only. I dont want to use pivot table for this.
Macro for a repetitive task. I have data in every 3rd column (max of 11 columns) that I want to extract and append the data in column A in sheet 2. The data contains some blank cells and I'd like to remove them also.
I've attached an example in this workbook : tractdata.xlsx
I'm looking for a way to sort dates from several columns into a new single column (perhaps multiple columns if the entry columns become too numerous). I've included an example. There are currently only 4 columns, but there may be as many as 20 in the future, each with 20 dates under each heading. Any blank cells would be eliminated. If I filled a blank with a new date, that date would be placed into the chronological column. So basically, this would take the date from several different categories and create a single calendar of events.
I have a contiguous multi column, multi row numeric range that I want to copy (and sort in ascending order) into a single column on another sheet in the same workbook. What VBA code could achieve this, or alternatively can this be achieve via formulas?
1 workbook, 2 worksheets (or tabs). On tab 1, I want a formula/alert that tells the user if any duplicate values exist in Column A of tab 2
Tab 2, Column A, has Unique ID's (6 digit numeric values)
The user manually inputs the ID's on new rows in Column A
Row 1 is reserved and in use for something else Row 2 is my header, so cell A2 says "ID" Row 3-623 currently contain unique ID's
When the user inputs a new ID into cell A624, then they return to Tab 1, I want my formula/alert on Tab 1 to tell the user that they have duplicates in Column A of tab 2. I know the Conditional Formatting, but if the user copies in 100 new values, they won't necessarily see the highlighted cells. My tab 1 is my "checks and balances" and the last place the user is suppposed to look to ensure that they haven't created any duplicate ID's. If the user sees a warning message that says duplicates exist, then I'll tell them that they need to look at column A (for cells that have been conditionally highlighted).
One issue that I'm running into with the conditional highlighting is that I want cells A3:A1048576 to already have the conditional formatting - this way when the user inserts a value into Cell A624, then A625, etc they conditional formatting is already there. Right now with data in cells A3:A623, cells A624:A1048576 are all highlighted with the Red/Bold Red Font (which is okay I guess), but ideally it would be nice to not count 2+ empty cells as duplicates and I'll have to have my formula on Tab 1 not include the blank cells.
I DO NOT want to use the Remove Duplicates feature of Excel 2010. If I remove them I could be removing data in columns B, C, D, etc that belong to the Unique ID. I just need the user to be told in Tab 1 that they DO have duplicates and I'll train the user how to research this and fix it.
The reason I want to look for duplicates in the entire Column A is because the list of Unique ID's will grow over time.
From the title "Filling Down Formula From Source That Goes Horisontally" I hope that someone understands what I mean. If I try to autofill a formula where the source cells that I want to autofill is organised in an horisontal fashion instead of vertical fashion, then the autofill always goes in an vertical fashion. Is there a way to get around this, macro, formula?
I have trouble using the =Concatenate() or =(A1&B1) to combine data in one cell. It will work for the first cell but then when I drag the equation it gives me the exact same result as the first cell. But when I click to look at the formula it looks good and when I hit Enter the cell reads the correct value. So I have to open each individual cell and hit enter. What is goin on here. I have attached a small example.
Also, sometimes I will type in a formula and hit enter and it just displays the formula. It does not return a value.
My worksheet "Ledger" has a column of 1-31 days, with row headings of MC/Visa, Amex, Disc & Cash. I also have sheets "1-31" within the same workbook that contain the data I need under each heading. I can get the data for "Amex" in sheet "1" to appear in the first cell underneath "Amex" in the sheet "ledger" by typing the formula ='1'!$B$29.....
The simple table (attached) represents our problem.
We want the letter in Column-B that corresponds to the last non-zero entry in Column-A. So in the example provided, the answer will be cell B12 which is "L". Also, if there are blanks (rather than zeros) below the last non-zero entry, it still needs to work.
In column "A1" i have the formula =C8. I now need to copy this formula across to column "B1" to get =C9 and also copy it across to column "C1" to read =C10.
So the row number should be increasing by 1 and the column remanin constant.
I have a a spreadsheet with content (text) in one cell pr line. The content can be in the range column 1 to 8. I want to make a formula where I get the number of the column where there is content. I know how I can make this by using nested IF's, but are there any better proposal?
Is there a way to put a formula within a Vlookup formula that will act as the column number? For example I have this simple Vlookup formula: VLOOKUP($B4,'TAB'!$A:$N,8) and 8 references the year 2014. Well if I update the numbers on the separate tab and the year 2014 changes to a different column, I want the formula to automatically change to that.
I want to create a custom updating formula that finds the last data element on a different sheet and then updates it's own formula. I have to do this because I want to find all of the blank cells and count them up (for missing data purposes). How can I go about putting the last row number in the formula?
This below is the best I can get but it 1004 errors out, I'm assuming because of my "Row" variable. Should I try a concatenate and custom build the formula each time within the macro?
Sub MacroToRun() Sheets("CleanData").Select Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select Row = Selection.Row
Sheets(" Chart Data").Select Range("B2").FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNTIF(CleanData!R[-1]C[17]:R[row]C[17],"""")" End Sub
Is there a function that will output the column letter? For example there's one I know of: =COLUMN(), which outputs column number, but not the letter. And if not, can a formula be written to output it without converting the spreadsheet to R1C1 style or using the lookup function that refers to a separate table within the spreadsheet?
I have a variety of different order forms in workbooks titled IT1314-0001, IT1314-0002, IT1314-0003...etc... They're all stored in the same location, but they need to be on different workbooks as each workbook is sent as an order form to a different organization, for that organization to fill in. All of the order forms have the same layout, but the user will input different information onto them.
In a summary workbook of all of these Order Forms, I need to be able to drag down an INDEX formula, such that the INDEX looks in a different workbook (the next workbook in the sequence) with each row. As you go down the rows, it should look like;
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0001.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1) INDEX(‘[IT1314-0002.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1) INDEX(‘[IT1314-0003.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1) INDEX(‘[IT1314-0004.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
I am copying various rows from one spreadsheet to another (sheet3) and would like to total one of the columns. The trouble is that since I don't know how many rows there will be I am having trouble inserting a formula that will work. I am sure that there must be a simple solution but I can't seem to find it.
I have a file with a column containing a series of records where a reference number can be repeated several times. I want to create a formula that will count the number of unique reference numbers in the column.
However - and this is the tricky part - I need it to allow for when the report is filtered, i.e. something like a SUBTOTAL function which ignores the hidden values.
So, the column in the full report has 691 unique values across 2,200+ records. If I apply a filter the column only has say 78 unique values. Is there a formula that can calculate this?
I am trying to make a column show the result of a formula as positive number only. Right now the column subtracts two other cells and displays the result. I am trying to make it show all the results, positive or negative as positive.
