I have in the attached file four variables, with their values in B3:B6, and the results of applying a formula to them in B8.
How to determine which value variable C must be changed to so that the formula returns the result in B10?
Solution.xlsx‎
I am looking for a solution which will highlight a cell if it has changed as a result of another cell changing (i.e. formula recalculate).
i.e.
A B C
3 2 (a*b)
I want cell c1 to be highlighted if either a1 or b1 are changed manually.
I'm making a spreadsheet where I want the user to select an item in A1 from a List made using Data Validation. When the person makes the selection in A1 I want the next 5 columns to automatically display specific attributes that belong to A1. However, I'd like the user to then be able to change each of these items (in B1-F1) from their own individual Validation Lists. I'm using this to mix and match mythical monsters. So in A1 I have well known monsters like Jaws, Godzilla and the Lochness Monster. When you select one of these creatures, that creature's specific attributes show up in the next 5 columns -- things like Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features. I then want to be able to change Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features individually from their own Validation List. I basically just want to mix and match between the various creatures.
I've gotten it only partially working by doing the following: At the bottom of the page (for simplicity, I have everything in 1 sheet but I intend to move the "data" table for the Lists to their own sheet) I have a table where in the row for each creature I have the different attributes. A1 (my "creature name") was made using Data Validation from the A column. For the next column I made a Data Validation List for the items. Once that pulldown was made, I then went to the B1 cell and used VLOOKUP to autofill the cell when the person makes their "A1" selection. I repeated this for cells C1-F1. This works ok the first time you make a selection. But whenever you change the "default" value for B2 using the validation drop down list, the Vlookup formula is replaced by the actual text value. This results in the cell not changing when the person next changes the A1 value.
which will calculate value of a cell when one of the variables has been changed?
To illustrate what I have in mind, an ecxample:
* User can add values to cells using UserForm
- Component name (to Cell "A1")
- Component price (to Cell "B1")
- Component quantity (to Cell "C1")

The format for the sheet is set in stone and can't change, and therefore my macro's operate on set columns / rows amd cells.
Because the sheet is huge, im trying to figure out a way to only run the macro's that need to run and more specfically on the changed location.
The Question
I need to create a routine that on the user changing a cell, it returns the cell position (row,column), then it will call a routine i have already which decides based on the cell location, which macro to run and where.
I have three IF statements as below. the problem is if the first statement is true I want it to skip the next two statements or the result will be changed again.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to return a value based on two variables. I was trying with hlookup and offset but excel kept ignoring my thoughts.
Here is a sample of how the data looks like and what I want to do:
excel.jpg
Depending on the ID which is entered in G2, cell H9 has to get the value from D4.
I know that ID is gonna have to be extracted with find function from column A. So every time an ID is entered (in cell G2) it would need to look for it in column A and then return the value VACLEG from column D.
I've attached the example spreadsheet.
I have 3 columns with multiple variable rows.
The 4th column is the specific result for those 3 variables.
I need a formula/s that will give me the correct 4th column # based on the previous 3 columns what would be input using dropdown lists I believe.
So for instance the final end result would be an HTML web page with 3 drop down boxes representing the first 3 columns and then based on what is selected in those 3 dropdowns the correct 4th column # would be shown.
Today's question concerns one sub calling another, having the called sub do some stuff that then effects what the calling sub does.
Essentially
Code:
public sub sub1
dim x as integer
dim countCall as boolean
x = activesheet.cells(1,1).value
countCall = False
call sub2(x, countCall)
[code]....
Obviously the above is a very simplified version of what I'm trying to do, since everything there could of course be handled in a single sub. It is for illustration purposes only. My actual main sub needs to call the secondary sub repeatedly in some stacked loops and its in-feasible to but the second sub's code into the main thread.
The problem remains though, I know how to call a sub and pass variables to it, i just have no inkling on how to pass results back to the calling sub. I've tried a few things I've found around the web but I seem to be missing something important.
I am attaching a sheet wherein I have tried to match two variables and to return the appropriate value. But I find the formula returns the value which one cell below the correct answer.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've tried this in formulas (if, if/and, if/vlookup, if/vlookup/and) and I've been trying to write a macro for this (which I'm thinking needs to loop).
Problem: I have a report that is broken into three categories.
Column A includes locations, Column B includes vendors. Across the top, the monthly report is broken into four classifications (trans types), which are then further subdivided by quantity and cost. (Rough estimation is provided below)
Locations
Vendor
Z53
Z50
Z51
Z52
[code]....
My data comes in sorted by location, and subtotaled by vendor and trans type. So I'll have a row of data that includes:
Location 1, Vendor A, Z51, $200, 2
Location 1, Vendor A, Z53, $150, 2
Location 1, Vendor B, Z53, $150, 1
...
What I need to do is pull the data for Z53 based on Location & Vendor. So from the data is would read Location 1 & Vendor A and then find them on the report and paste into the appropriate row (in my report Z53 qty is col E and $ is col F).
I was trying to do a macro that within a determined range (finding the first and last instance of Z53) would match location and vendor to the monthly report and paste the values of Qty and $ into the appropriate fields. Below is what I managed to mangle:
Code:
Dim Holder1 As Range
Dim Holder2 As Range
Dim Holder3 As Range
Dim Holder4 As Range
Dim Found As Range
Dim y As Range
Dim x As Range
Dim Z0 As Range
[code]......
I was originally trying to match from the report to the data and then copy back to the report, but I had the idea of instead taking the location and vendor from the data and finding the match on the report and pasting. That way I wouldn't have to worry about errors (unless a new location was added that was not included on the report - which I think is an easier fix than trying to go the other way, but maybe not).
Been working on this problem for a while, I need to have a vlookup (or other function) return locations based off of a concatenate (for unique identifiers). Only issue is that the concatenate formula creates doubles which returns the same location for each vlookup. I have attached an example file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this formula in C7:
=VLOOKUP(A7,A$20:C$76,3)
The Table Array contains a list of 12 months, and there will be a match to the Lookup Value in A7 each month. I would like C7 to reflect the last completed match in the list (it will be updated each month). So, when June is the last completed month, C7 will return the matching amount from the Table Array for June; then when July is completed, I would like C7 to reflect the matching amount for July.
I have tried searching for this topic and have been unsuccessful. Perhaps my search was too broad. Either way, I am trying to understand how to search/query a specific data entry among several sheets, and then return corresponding values from adjacent cells.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a drop down menu from a named data range on a seperate spreadsheet in the same workbook. Based on the selection from that drop down menu I want a preassigned number to pull into another cell. I'm not thinking of the correct formula or something, because it's not working. Could it be because it's text? My spreadsheet with the data is as follows:
Bridger to American Fork 051725
Hunter to American Fork 051725
Hunter to Delta 051715
Hunter to Hiawatha 051728
Navajo to Am. Fork w/ front 051725
Navajo to Am. Fork w/o front 051725
The 1st column is the origination/destination and I named that range "freight hauls". Which is what the dropdown menu on another sheet (AP Reconcilliation) consists of. From that, I want the 2nd column number to pull into another cell on the AP Recon sheet. The formula I wrote that isn't working is: =index('AP Reconciliation'!A2:B8,match(A6,'Freight Hauls List'!B2:B7,0),2)
I want to return a result IF a certain value is found in another cell. I've attached a sample workbook, but here's a description:
On the "Inventory" worksheet, in column H, I want to lookup the quantity in column B from the "Warehouse Response" worksheet. If the Part # in column E of the response sheet is NI1088106, I want THAT value to show under the NI1088106 part number, and I want the quantities for the NI1089106 to show under that part number. Ideally, the result of the formula would show a "0" if no data is found.
Here's the formula I tried beside the NI1088106 data, but it's not giving the desired results: =IF('Warehouse Response'!E:E="NI1088106", VLOOKUP(LEFT(A3,3),data,2,0))
What I want to do is, given the data in col. a, I want to supply a number(range) of strings which can be found in column a, whenever a string is found, which exists in given range, I want to write the string from the Key(col. c) in col b instead of the value from the string that matches a value.
See below for example of what I got working but not exactly what I was looking for
Col. A- Data
Orangegreen
Blackwhite
Blueyellow
Col. B - Result
Col. C - Keys
Orange
White
Yellow
I used
Code:
=INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH("*"&C1&"*",A1:A3,0))
This does produce a result, but not entirely what I am after.
This requires only one string to search for, and will in cell B1 result in a value of 'Orangegreen' as I can only supply one valeu to the function. What I want to do is supply the function with a range of values, and have those values outputtet in colb instead af the value of cells where the result is found.
I tried modifying the function to include a range, but that does not produce a valid result.

I have an excel worksheet that consists of 4 tabs. Each tabs has approximately 60,000 lines of data. The data consists of user id's and menus that correspond to the user id. There are 131 user id's in total. I would like to be able to return all the menus for one of the user id's. If we need to start with one tab and work from there, that's fine.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created a Database using excel which feeds data to a pivot table I created based on it. My objective is to create a new item in this pivot table (Pivot Table > Formulas > Calculated Item) which calculates the average data for the past 6 months.
The formula I used in order to get a result is this:
=IF(((May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)=0;;(May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)
and the problem is that the answer is 0 when there is no data for all 6 months (for example, there is a customer who hasn't baught anything during the past 6 months), the pivot table displays 0, instead of not showing this customer at all. My goal is for the IF function not to return any data if the result is 0, so that the pivot table doesn't show items with no data.
I also tried:
=IF(((May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)=0;"";(May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)
and also using ;" ";
but these formulas return #VALUE! in the pivot table, given that the Data is "SUM OF Sales" and "" is not a number.
How can I get the formula not to show anything at all?
In addition to this, I was wondering if it is possible to make this formula more automated, so that it calculates the average of the past 6 months, taking into account some type of reference month (rather than having to edit the formula each time a new month is analyzed).

I have a production planning spreadsheet that is updated every week from a database to a new sheet. This sheet is 'Sheet1', last weeks update becomes 'Sheet2'. Every day people annotate and colour cells for various orders, depending on their place within the planning scheme. It's really only the formats that I need to copy across, I could use the VLOOKUP function for the values - So I suppose you could say I'm looking for a VLOOKUP macro/VBA Code which keeps the original formatting (cell colour etc.)
