Formula That Points To Another Cell With Formula To Finish First One?
Mar 5, 2014
I'm wondering if it's possible to write a formala that if a certain condition is met, performs a formula referenced in another cell. For example: Column A contains a list of formulas. In column B is the condition, let's use Work Type as an example. The result (or the formula I need) would be in column C. So if the work type is "Type1", then the formula in the corresponding column C cell would perform the formula in cell A5. If the work type is "Type8", then the formula in the corresponding column C cell would perform the formula in cell A2.
Is this possible to do without VBA?

I am trying to set up a football league table. Iam ok with most of the formulae to arrive at a points total. However when the points total of two or more teams is the same then the final position is governed by goal difference.

Havent used a spreadsheet in ages and i'm having a fun time here. Cant seem to get the right formula for what i need. Here is a brief explanation!
I have a grid (not related to excel) of 999 by 999 squares.
The center is basically co-ords 500|500.
Upper left would of course be co-ords 001|001
Upper right would be 999|001
Bottom left would be 001|999
Bottom right would be 999|999
Now, here is what I am trying to do:
I want to have 3 squares chosen out on a spreadsheet I have made . .
1) here i put in the start co-ords (ie: 500|500)
2) here i put in the destination co-ords (ie: 505|510)
3) This is the fun one!!! ... And where I need the help!
I need a formula to put here that will tell me the number of squares I have to cross to get from one to the other!

Column P is the percentage of body weight lost...
P
-1.98%
-2.92%
-3.87%
-3.48%
0.00%
-0.10%
0.00%
-3.56%
-3.57%
What I need is a formula to look at all 9 data points and give the place number. Remember that the lowest number is actually in first place.

I'm creating an (English) football predictions competition for me and my family.
One problem that has stumped me is how to get the scores based on the 'home' & 'away' score predictions.
The rules are: If I predict the correct exact result I get 3 points. I want to add another 'rule' whereby if I predict the correct winner, I get 1 point. Incorrect predictions get 0 points. I don't know how to do this using a formula.

This is my formula with concatenation: =K3/K1*100 & "c" & " Each"
This is the result of the values in K3 divided by K1: 6.41666666666667c Each
I would like to limit the decimal places to two: 6.41c Each.
I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.
If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.

I need to create a range of cells in Column A. I know the first cell, A2. The final occupied cell will vary. Once I have the range object I would like to step through and analyse each cell in turn using a For/Each loop.
The code I have so far is:
Public all_structures As Range 'Range required for for/each loop Column
Public last_structure As Range 'Last cell in Column
Public molcell As Range 'Current cell in range
' Establish range of cells in Column A
Set last_structure = Range("A2").End(xlDown)
Set all_structures = Range(Range("A2"), Range(last_structure)) ***
' Loop through each structure in turn
For Each molcell In all_structures
Loop code In here
Next molcell
When I run I get an error message of "Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". It does not like the line marked ***.

Version: Excel 2007 WinXP
I'm basically looking for something almost like an inverse function to INDIRECT. This function would first look at a cell's formula as a text string, parse out the first valid cell reference in A1 format, and return that cell as a text string.
Detail: I have a spreadsheet with cells that point to other values. I would like to get only the row number from the first cell reference in the formula residing in a given cell. For example:
Suppose A1 has the formula =AL267. and A2 has the formula =SUM(AL94:AL235)
I would like a formula in B1 that returns the text string, "AL267" so that I would know this is the first reference.
Ideally it could be dragged down to B2 such that it returns the text string "AL94" (and not "AL235") because AL94 is the first cell reference in A2's
Currently I am copying the formulas after hitting ctl+` and pasting that text into a text editor, followed by text operations to manipulate the results into the desired values. Any solution that didn't involve going out to notepad.

I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.

Here is the scenario:
A B C D
BananasApplesOrangesTotal113=A1+B1+C1
I need to reference the formula in D1 with the cells headers names.
In a perfect world, it would take
=A1+B1+C1:
and produce:
=Bananas+Apples+Oranges

I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.
I want a formula in Cell A6 (and I already know it correctly works) in this format: =E6&VLOOKUP(I6,'FA-Fund Data'!B$1:C$2000,2,FALSE)&J6

I would like to copy a formula in a cell and then paste only the text of the formula, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I would like to avoid going into the cells and absolute referencing or hitting F2, then copying the text.
When I hit "Ctrl C" to copy the cell, then hit "Alt/E/S/F/Enter" to paste the formula, it is just like a regular copy/paste formula-wise in that the references move.

I am using vlookup to get a cell value from another sheet, but if the cell has "&" or "/" I need to substitue "&" and "/" with "and" so that the cell can be added later to a url.
i am using =VLOOKUP(a1,Sheet2!A1:W17968,6) to get the value of a1 in sheet 2 and return the value of column 6
this will return "Audio Cables & Leads" but i need it to say Audio Cables and Leads
I need the formula to also check and replace "/" with "and" as well so cables/wire will be Cables and wire

I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet. The cell/cells in question are f32:f36 on the first tab.
Question #1 how this formula works or what it does.
Question #2 Is when I enter the required information in cells a32:e32 it enters an N/A in cell f32. When I than click on cell F32 and than click on the formula bar and hit enter the information populates.

I have two questions:
1. Is there a way cells with formulas cannot be tampered even if they are not locked? So when I enter a data on a cell with formula, the formula won't be erased? The sample below shows that C1 and C2 has formulas but let's say I enter a value on C1, the formula should still stay? Is this possible?
A B C
1 5 10 =SUM(A1:B10)
2 2 4 =SUM(A2:B2)
2. Let's say I have a total of 125 (A1) and I need to get the answer (B1) where it has 5 with No. 3 on top (subscript) of 5? How to create a formula for this (I hope I make sense)?

In cell A1 exists data. In cell A2, I would like to test A1 to determine if A1 is a formula or a constant.
Examples:
=A9+3 would result "formula"
="1+3 would result "formula"
3 would result "constant"
'Blahblah would result "constant".

I know this is an easy one but I'm unsure why I can't easily modify a formula. The key event in this formula is "+190". Every time I change the value the formula no longer works. I've copied to another cell and the formula no longer works. My question is when you have a formula like this one if you have to modify how do you do it and keep the formula working.

Note: I know the syntax below is not how you would enter forumlas into Excel but I am using it to quickly illustrate what I'm trying to do and need help with. A cell not in column D, E, or F contains a formula of the form: F=IF(D>0, D/E, "blank") .
Note: If a cell in column D>0 (eg. D5>0) then the cell to the right of the selected D cell (eg. E5) will also be >0 ; otherwise, both cells will be empty.
This is what I want to do: If cell D?>0 , then F?=D?/E? ; otherwise, F?=empty .
Example 1: If D5>0, then F5=D5/E5 ; otherwise F5=empty .
Example 2: If D7>0, then F7=D7/E7 ; otherwise F7=empty .
Etc. I want this to apply to all rows.
I cannot enter the formula directly into the F? cell because sometimes I will need to enter data into cell F? manually. When I need to enter data manually into F? this results in the formula being overwritten by the new data and this means that if I ever needed to have data calulated based on the formula F=IF(D>0, D/E, "blank") I would have to re-enter the formula from scratch over again; obviously this is a nusance.

I want to use the values in a range of cells in a sheet for a formula in another sheet. The problem is that these range of cells already has formulas and when I select these cells for use in another formula, the values doesn't get picked up and my formula doesn't work. for example -
cell L4 in sheet 1 has a formula - ='H:VK_2011_onwards1_ACC_BJS_SAA 6
and it has a value - 34.76
cell L5 in sheet 1 has a formula - ='H:VK_2011_onwards1_ACC_BJS_SAA 6
and it has a value - 47.09
Now I want to use this two cell to calculate an average in sheet 2. So if I use the formula =AVERAGE(Sheet1!L4:L5). I get no result.

I have a spreadsheet containing milestones for several different projects. The number of milestones per project varies.
I need to get the max date for each project using VBA.
Simple Example: 'Project Name' is in column A and the 'Scheduled Finish Date' is in column B.
Project X has 5 milestones with the following Scheduled Finish Dates: (8/15, 8/16, 8/17, 8/18, 8/19) Project Y has 3 milestones with the following Scheduled Finish Dates: (8/20, 8/21, 8/22) Project Z has 6 milestones with the following Scheduled Finish Dates: (8/23, 8/24, 8/25, 8/26, 8/27, 8/28)
I need the macro to return 8/19 for Project X, 8/22 for Project Y and 8/28 for Project Z.

I am working on an excel spreadsheet for work and I have to show a chart that shows the time of day a space is in use. Right now I am having to mark all of these by hand which takes me forever because I have a couple thousand lines of information.
I need to mark the hours in use based off the start and finish time.
For Example:
1) If the start time was 7:00 and the end time was 10:45 then the markers would only mark 7am and 10am
2) If the start time was 7:15 and the end time was 10:00 then the markers would only mark 7am and 9am
3) If the start time was 7:30 and the end time was 10:30 then the markers would only mark 7am and 10am
4) If the start time was 7:45 and the end time was 10:15 then the markers would only mark 8am and 9am
I was given the formula and it works to count the whole hour but now I need the formula tweaked and I don't know how...I need the formula to account for quarterly hours...and I don't know how to fix it.
Attached is an example of the spreadsheet of what I currently have and of what I need. Book1.xlsx

I have a number of processes that I would like to calculate the finish times of.
For example, Process A may take 18 hours to complete, Process B may take 28 hours to complete and Process C may take 125 hours to complete etc
However these processes only run during certain times, i.e. 9am to 5pm.
Ideally I would like to setup a spreadsheet that when given the start time and process time calculates the (date and) time the process will finish.
I can get it to work on a 24 hour day but I've been tearing my hair out trying to take out the none-working part of the day (the 5pm to 9am).
