Is there any more efficient way to get a formula that tries to get pivot data to return data to show zero, rather than ERROR, than this?
=if(iserror("the get pivot data formula"),0,"the get pivot data formula")
I am trying to squeeze some more effenciency into a ridiculous spreadsheet, and I hate that this formula has to do 2 lookups and an if statement. If this really is 2x the work, I was wondering if there is a more efficient way?
Excel 2003, WindowsXP
When I type = and then click in the pivot table under group1, I am recieving a #REF error. It strange because when I do the same thing in another group (ie. group 2 or group 3, etc.) in the same pivot table I don't recieve the error?
We have a very long macro that at the end sends an email to each training coordinator. Within the body of the email, we want to autopopulate the completion status from a pivot table using getpivotdata.
We first try to set the variable but get an error: [compile error:invalid qualifier].
Sheets(Summary).Select
Dim BDCompletion As String
BDCompletion = Application.PivotTableSelection.GetPivotData(A3, "Business Dev Plan Found")
And this is how we plan to incorporate the variable into the body of the email:
With OutMail
.To = "name@company.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = CurrentSheet.Name & " Training Plan Status as of " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy")
.Body = "BD is " & BDCompletion & " complete for 2007 Training Plans as of the date of this email."
.Attachments.Add Destwb.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C: est.txt")
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
whether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?
For example if a userform has two combobox's and one causes an error, can I return to a message box containing the name of the object (combobox1 or combobox2)?
I have tried returning err.source but I am either not using it correctly or it isn't intended to be used this way.
I'm struggling to get the "getpivotdata" function working correctly.Sample book attached.
I'm trying to return the data that is held within the pivot table to a separate part of the sheet.In column D I have week numbers and in column E the qty(which is currently empty) How do I return the qty in column E from the data in the pivot table (column B) relative to the respective week numbers.
i am working on a project where i need to get data from a pivot table that resides on a separate worksheet named "Pivot_by_Group".
I have a worksheet "Budget vs. Actual" and I need to pull data from the pivot table to populate the Actual values.
How can i do that and one more thing, hopw can i suppres errors (#NAME, #REF, etc), i've used the ISERROR function with no luck.
Trying to use a the getpivotdata fomula with date as an argument, refer to with a cell. e.g. =GETPIVOTDATA( 'May Table'!A1, "SICK " & S20). where S20 is a date format
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy created pivot table chart is a "sales funnel" that has 8 field list in the title section used to slice the date (i.e. per quarter, per sales person, per product, etc.). When a combination of selections results in no data, the pivot table dynamically removes this column or row. The GETPIVOTDATA function returns a #REF! because of the invalid reference. How can I lock the pivot table to always have all columns and rows or can I return a zero instead of the #REF!? When the #REF! occurs in a @sum range, the #REF! is returned instead of the sum of the numbers.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to create a charts on a pivot table, but I don't like the way Pivot charts function and the limitations they have.
So I want to create a normal charts that is dynamic and based on a pivot table.
In order to do so, I want to create dynamic named ranged for the data in the pivot table to use for the data series for the chart.
I can reference the week numbers (headers in the pivot table) for one data series and get the data by this formula:
=OFFSET(Weekly!$C$15,0,0,1,COUNTA(Weekly!$14:$14)-1)
$C$15 is the first cell that holds the data for the series.
Row 14 holds the week numbers (headers in the pviot)
However, I want to make that formula even more dynamic by having it reflect the changes done to the pivot table who's cells it references to.
So how do I do this using the GETPIVOTDATA function? (or some other function that makes it dynamic and reflect changes done to the pivot table and accounts for the row numbers with the data can change)
If I generate the GETPIVOTDATA formula and try to substistute the fixed cell reference for $c$15 with it, the OFFSET formula for the dynamic range gives an error.
And how can I grab the column headers (week number) dynamically?
I've attached a spreadsheet which is a basic version of what I'm trying to achieve. I've got a pivottable based on 3 columns of data: Order No, Delivery Date, Value
I want the sum of a given order in a certain month. E.g. the value of Order No. 1001 for Dec '05. I tried doing a pivottable and then using GETPIVOTDATA (which I've not really used before) and failed. I imagine there's a better way I've not attempted yet. Can anyone shed any light? The spreadsheet is attached
I have this problem with pivot tables:when I write a formula relating to a cell in the pivot table I don't get the usual basic cell refs (e.g. B4/b5) but I get something like GETPIVOTDATA("Vehicle No",$A$3,"Model Desc",...... etc etc
and I cannot copy and paste this formula!
I would like to know if there is a shortcut to use basic Cell refs because it is very boring always type the cell details in manually when using data from a Pvt table
Some weeks ago I had to move from excel 2000 to excel 2003 and It seems incredible to me that moving to a more recent release of excel become a step behind....

Is it possible to replace the Pivit table name/reference in a GETPIVOT function with a cell/range reference? I can on other components of the function call, but not that. For example ... the "hardwired" function call might be:
=GETPIVOTDATA(" Sum of 1991",'[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3,"Company","ERG","Item"," Depreciation & Amortisation")
I can achieve the same result by externalising the 1991 and ERG, so i replace this with other dates or names, thus:
ERG
1991=GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of "&C13,'[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3,"Company",D12,"Item"," Depreciation & Amortisation")
.. and this works fine.
However, if I try and replace the '[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3 with a reference to a cell containing that string, it returns #REF!
In Excel 2010, I can manually enter the GetPivotData function (and it works), but with Generate GetPivotData selected / enabled (in PivotTable Tools --> Options --> PivotTable --> Options), the GetPivotData function isn't automatically generated.
View 1 Replies View Relatedso, for a column, if i reference a getpivotdata to an item's total, it will sum the total being displayed- which can be less than the "real" total if some items have been hidden in the pivot table. what i want is to have getpivotdata (or another function, i don't care what it's called) to always sum an item's total for the entire pivot table range- irrespective of whether certain of it's details have been hidden. ideally, what i'm trying to do is:
sum the total of an item for the pivot table range
sum the total of the column from the original data
compare if they are not equal, the pivot table has not been refreshed
i need to do this without macros. (it's my "solution" to see if macros are enabled or disabled- because my pivot table automatically refreshes data based on macro)
I am trying to do a "getpivotdata" formula on a cell in certain file that gets info from a pivot table on another file. However the name of the second file (the one where the pivot table is found on) might be different each time so I created a variable for the second file name but I can’t figure out a way to use this variable in the get pivot data formula as I am not very experience with VBA.
Template = Application.InputBox("What is the name of the file ending with (.xls)")
If Template = False Then
cont1 = MsgBox("Please write the name correctly using (.xls)!", vbOKOnly)
If cont1 = vbOK Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If
I want to sum up data for two periods (4&5) from a pivot table using GETPIVOTDATA formula. I've only been successful when I manually type the period values 4 and 5 as is shown below:
=IFERROR((SUM(GETPIVOTDATA("Amount",'Transaction Pivot'!$J$3,"Period",{4,5},"Project",$A7,"Category","T&M"))),0)
However, I cannot get the formula to work when I substitute cell references for the period values 4 and 5. Therefore, the following formula does not work:
=IFERROR((SUM(GETPIVOTDATA("Amount",'Transaction Pivot'!$J$3,"Period",{E5,E6},"Project",$A7,"Category","T&M"))),0) where E5 has 4 in the cell and E6 has 5.
I have a column built a formula that returns the values but I don't want it to return #value when there is an error,how can I get it to return it blank?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a function that will return "Error" if two conditions are true, but return the value from column A of that row if only one condition is true, or zero if the value is false for a single row.
Column A is a number
Column B is a "Y" or "N"

Edit a row by double-clicking it. When a row is double-clicked, data from that row is passed back to the userform, edited and returned back to the same row (to prevent duplicates).Validate that all fields are complete within the userform where relevant (i.e. if the work is not complete or in progress then the "Invoice Number" and "Actual Cost" fields are disabled and blanked to prevent entry (I think this is almost sorted judging by my tests)
I have attached my sheet : 2014 Gatwick Quote Log (Macro Enabled).xlsm‎
Error Check Marco.xlsm
see attached example. I am trying to write an error detection routine that iterates through worksheets that have numeric values for names (ignore text names or alphanumeric). Macro checks range on each numeric worksheet E3:E33 and is supposed to report back on the SummarySheet if any value other than 1 or 0 is found in range E3:E33 on any numeric-name worksheet. Code as follows:
[Code] ....
Problem is that it just reports EVERY worksheet as having an error when clearly most don't (none do I think in the attached example).
Try changing some of ranges E3:E33 to values other than 1 or 0, it still reports all sheets. Why the macro does not evaluate the range E3:E33 properly and just reports every worksheet as having an error?
See the attached sheet. I am trying to add together two figs which are linked to calculations which have formula built in to stop error messages when there is a 0 / 0 = #value type error. However when these two cells are added, if the cells are blank I get an error message. And if only one cell has a value, I get "" with my existing formula. what I need to do to get a result of 7 if for example cell A4 = "" + B4 =7. At the moment my formula shows "" in the sum total of these cells
View 5 Replies View RelatedOK, so I have a userform with some text boxes that I have specially formatted to accept only date values in the form of mm/dd/yy. By default they are blank. I have a check in one of my codes that looks like this
Code:
If DateBox vbNullString And DateValue(DateBox) > checkdate Then
M1 = "NEOPRENE" & Chr(13)
Else
M1 = "" & Chr(13)
End If
Where DateBox is this specially formatted TextBox and checkdate is a future date being checked against.So if DateBox has a value in it AND that value is greater than the date being checked against the returend string is Neoprene, otherwise it is blank.
Well the problem I have is when the first condition returns FALSE, i.e. when DateBox is empty, the DateValue half still gets evaluated and returns a type missmatch error or something like that because DateValue("") returns an error. I have line of code 8 times, one for Neoprene, squeegee, etc. So the name of the text boxes are each unique and I am using M1, M2, M3, etc.
For other reasons, use of "On Error Resume Next" doesn't work for this situation because it causes a result opposite to what I want to happen.
the if stattement works perfectly and does exactly what i want except when it comes to the else part. if there is no error the statements are run perfectly but if there is an error (in this case the error is generated when a match cannot be found in the spreadsheet) the else statement doesnt kick in and post the msgbox.
the code just crashes. and returns an error 1004 on the line i have highlighted in yellow
