Im looking to have excel grab the sheet name from the cell rather than manually clicking on the sheet each time. I have attached an example. I would like the formula in cells B5:7 and C5:7 to reference A5:7 rather than the specific sheet as seen in cell B5 --> =b!A1. I assume it will look something along the lines of ='(A5)'!A1, but that doesn't seem to work?
View 2 RepliesI have two documents with very similar information. Some rows are duplicates. However, there is one column of information missing from the 1st spreadsheet. Let's call them Sheet1 and Sheet2.
How do I tell Excel:
In Sheet1, IF A2 matches any field in Sheet 2, column A
Then: copy the data from the same row, in a different column (Sheet1 A3) and put it into a specific corresponding cell (Sheet2 A3)
Basically I'm trying to grab a product ID from sheet2 and put it in the matching cell, for that specific product. I have all teh product IDs in column A in sheet 2. The product IDs field in Sheet 1 is blank. I need to populate it with teh correct information from Sheet 2. But there are many moreproducts in sheet 2 than in sheet 1, so I can't just sort and do a copy paste. It needs to think "if the product exists in sheet 2, grab the info from sheet 2 and put it into sheet 1 for that product id."
I have a workbook that has multiple sheets in it (or tabs?) I want to grab a value from one sheet and use it in an equation on another sheet. In the attached file say I have a value in cell A2 on the sheet labeled Friday. This number will be a variable number that eventually will vary based on a formula I have yet to develop in cell A2. I want to use this value in a formula on the sheet labeled Monday. Say in cell S4 I would like to put the following formula:
sheet"friday",time(0,A2,)+time(0,b1,0)
How do I, or can I, tell Excel to take a value from one sheet and use it in a formula in another without first copying the value from the one sheet to the sheet it is to be used in? What I am trying to do in make it so that as the value on sheet Friday cell A2 changes the value in cell S4 also changes to reflect the change from A2.
I'm trying to grab a number out a cell and use only the number for other formulas.
So in cell A1 I have 2 LK, in cell A2 4 LK, and in cell A3 is 1/2 LK. I want to just pull the 2, 4, and 1/2 out without the LK and put it in the B cells. I'm sure this is easy but I'm thinking slow tonight lol.

I do have one issue I need to work on with a VLOOKUP formula.
I have a list of cities and counties that the VLOOKUP goes and looks at to pull information from.
The problem is that when there is a city and county with the same name (Example: Boulder and Boulder County) VLOOKUP always seems to jsut grab the one that is listed first in the list.
When you use the city name of Boulder, VLOOKUP always retruns the information for Boulder County.
Here is my forumula:
=VLOOKUP(qtProjAddress3,'City Mileage and Tax Rates'!A2:C518,2)
Is there something I can add to this formula that will allow it to return the proper city or county when the names are similar?
I would like to automate this process that I'm doing currently through the "Text to Columns" function.
Basically I have various cells that contain many worlds such as:
FRESH LUNETTE SOLEIL REES 1'S
INFOKUS SOLEIL LECTURE LUNETTES 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELEORA 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELIZABETH 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL JAMES 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL VESPER 1'S
KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL HOUSTEN 1'S
KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL MINNIE 1'S
My goal is to separate the first world from the rest of the words in one cell.
Since all of the words are seperated by space, I use the the "Text to Columns" function and separate the words, so that I can get the first word into one column. The rest of the words have to be merged again through "Concatenate".
What I'm looking for is a VBA code or Excel function that can identify the first world (which vary in character lengths) and put it into one column.
Is it possible to have a spreadsheet that when opened grabs data from every file with "*invoice" in the title in folder 2009 and all its sub directories and puts them into a list in the opened file?
The data needed is to be from sheet1, cells B16, C18, G18 from all the files
and i would like B16 put into A2, C18 into B2 and G18 into C2
Then the next sheets data B16 to A3, C18 B3 and G18 to C3 etc etc until all files with invoice in the title have been added.
B16 is a name
C18 is an address and
G18 is a postcode
This means there can be no duplicates so if opened twice there will only ever be 1 of the same address and postcode.
where i can grab a number from a cell it would ALWAYS be the last string item..
for example if cell A1 has the following text:
04/02 Card Purchase 03/31 Google*1873060297 Cc@Google.Com CA Card 5036 $500.00
i want cell B1 to hold just the $500
this wold always be the case for everything im trying to do
Dim iStartBook As Long, iNewBook As Long
iStartBook = ActiveWindow.Index
ActiveWindow.NewWindow
iNewBook = ActiveWindow.Index
I'm trying to grab the "2" that .NewWindow generates. The above gives 1 both times, despite the obvious 2 in the caption after you run it. So what property works? What does .Index mean here?
I have created an image of what i want and hopefully this will explain better.
This is very hard but it is something really important for the company i work for and have an idea on how its done but not enough knowledge to implement yet.
I've set a range as DD14 to G014, then using a For Next Loop asked the program to cycle through each cell in the range. Upon findng a populated cell, it stores several bits of data from that cell (already done) and then move up one cell to record the cell value (time) and again move one cell up to record the date.
Now I did get this to work using a clunky bit of code that used activecell.offset to move the focus up the two columns and a While .... Wend loop - but using a set range and cycling through each cell it does not appear to be possible - or am I wrong?
Set MyRange(1) = Range("D14:ER14")
Set MyRange(2) = Range("D23:GN23")
For MyCounter = 1 To 2
For Each Cell In MyRange(MyCounter)
If Cell.Value = "" Then Goto Skip_Cell
MyCell = Cell.Address
MyPosition = InStr(1, Cell.Value, ",")
If MyPosition = 0 And Len(Cell.Value) >= 3 Then
Tool_Number = Left(Cell.Value, 3).....................
Included in the macro, I would like for the macro to open up Word, grab a label template, that I have stored (have to navigate there), and then merge the data from the excel file into the Word template.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one worksheet with four columns of data. Column A is a well name, RA-0001, column B is the measured depth of the well from 0 feet to however far down it goes, anywhere from 4000 to 15000 feet, column C is the inclination of the well, column D is the Azimuth.
I have 500 wells from RA-0001 to RA_0500 or so all in this one worksheet, all the wells have varying Measured Depths associated to their well name. I need to create a macro that can separate the wells and either put them in a new worksheet for each well, ie. a worksheet named RA-0001, RA-0002, ..... ect. OR, and this would be nicer, a macro that can actually save all these individual wells as (Formatted Text (Space Delimited)) files with the associated well name.
Here is an example of what it looks like. The columns do not have a subject line to state what information is in each column because I dont need it in that format.
RA-0001
0
0.00

RA-0001

Even just knowing how to create a simple macro that would take all the data from each well so I could manually copy and save them as new files.
I need in XL for a macro to run, open my word file, copy the entire thing and then paste it back in XL.
So leaving it general, Word.doc and Excel.xlsx
It's all because my company's POS system will only export to Word but everything we do is in XL.
How to grab data from a table providing it fulfills two chained conditions without using a concatenated key. For example:

The database is something like:
A
B

I ended up using VLOOKUP() and a concatenated key like Name&Color but it slow down the sheet significantly as I have many records and also does not seem the most elegan solution. I tryied using OFFSET() nested with MATCH()but couldn't get it. Also tried something with ARRAY FORMULAS but I am not very proficient at them.
I am creating a billing sheet that has a column where charges are coded (to determine what they are for) and I want a "Grand Total" for everything followed by a breakdown "Total" for things with the same code. Is there a way to set SUM code to grab all numbers next to codes?? (EX. Column A is Billing Code, column B is Cost in $$; I want a total at the bottom that takes the different amounts in column B based on the various information/codes from column A).

In Sheet2 I have a list of cell addresses showing values such as D5, D32, D59, D221, D869 stored in cells AB7:AB16. In Sheet1 the "D" column holds dates. I want to return the corresponding date for each D# cell into Sheet2 in column AC7:AC16. I'm unaware of the proper syntax for this. I though it would look something like:
='Sheet1'!('Sheet2'!(AB7))
however that doesn't work.
I want to auto populate a call with the value of a different cell that has been colored on a different page.
Example:
1.) On Sheet 1, Cells range A1-A10 have values to choose from
2.) I choose A7 and change the cell color to gray
3.) It auto populates Cell B1 on Sheet 2 with the value of the gray colored cell I selected on Sheet 1
How can this be done?
E.g. say I want to create a list of cells each referencing to the first, second, third sheet, and so on.
Say, on one sheet cell A1 references to the second sheet's A1, cell A2 references to the third sheet's A1, and so on.
Ideally I'd love to be able to write something like
=Worksheet(1)!A1
=Worksheet(2)!A1
=Worksheet(3)!A1
and so on.
The problem is:
I Sheet 1 cell I33 is updated weekly. It would then be great with a macro that could copy from I33 in Sheet 1, into C5 in Sheet 2. But if C5 is filled, it should paste into D5, and so on.
This function =INDIRECT(""&A17&"!"&$A$8) works only once or twice. Then I rewrite it as =INDIRECT(""&A17&"!"&A8), without the dollar sign, $, at A8. But then that only works once or twice.
This is how it works: In Grid A17, type name of worksheet in which to perform the data search. Then, the function goes to that worksheet and selects the data in Grid A8.
I have two Sheets, first is Service Data, the second is Log Sheet. In the Service Data sheet I have a column of serial numbers in column A. I also have a column of serial numbers in the Log Sheet, column A.
I'm looking for a conditional format whereas I enter numbers into column A on the Log sheet it will auto highlight the cell if I duplicate a serial number from row A in the Service Data sheet. I would like it to highlight the Duplicated number on the Log sheet. I know new versions of excel make it easier to do this but unfortunately I have Excel 2003.
I have 2 workbooks in Excel 2010, each contain just 1 sheet.

My attempt is in cell D2 on sheet1.
