Normally when you double-click on a formula you see its component cells highlighted.
But when I do this with a formula that uses cells from different worksheets NO cells are highlighted.
I wonder if anyone knows how to get the highlighting working for such formulas. Or is there an add-on which enables this?
I have this formula (which will soon be much more complex...):
=COUNTIF('dt-a'!C2:C194,'what they want for each teacher'!D1)
I would like to be able to replace the sheet names with a reference to a cell which contains the sheet names.
This is so that a user can enter the sheet name in a cell without having to modify the formulae, break the formulae, and then come running to me ranting about things not working and how computers never work properly.
I have the following formula: =IF(ISBLANK('WP'!D4), "", 'WP'!D4). where WP is the name of the sheet. I need to reference the sheet not by name, but by it's number (for example WP could be my second sheet, but tomorrow the name of my second sheet could change to WT).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several sheets, this question focuses on two sheets. 'Coded Prehospital Data' and 'Missing Pre Hospital Data', for brevity here i will refer to them as coded and missing respectively.
In coded the cells are populated using an index/match fx to another sheet and if that returns an error the fx looks to the same cell in missing for a value
Here is an example of the formula in coded cell C2:
=IF(OR(ISERROR(INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE))),
ISBLANK(INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE)))),VLOOKUP(
'Missing Pre Hospital Data'!D2,AGEUNITSCODE,2,FALSE),INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE)))
Without having to constantly switch between sheets I would like to set up a conditional format that fills a cell in missing yellow when that cell is an error in coded.
This is what I have done to achieve this with no success:
1) Select cell C2 in missing and add rule based on formula
2) Enter =OR(ISNA('CODED PREHOSPITAL DATA'!$C2),ISBLANK('CODED PREHOSPITAL DATA'!$C2))
3) Enter the custom formatting I decided on
4) In the "Applies To" box I have done two things: 1) drag the cursor from c2 to an28 which auto fills the applied to dialogue box with 'Missing Prehospital Data'!$C$2:$AN$28 and 2) Free type in the dialogue box 'Missing Prehospital Data'!$C2:$AN28
My problem is that I need the formatting for each cell in missing to refer to its sister cell in coded but it continues to refer only to coded c2
After having searched for a while I can't seem to find any formula that will look at a cell for reference as to which sheet to go to and return a certain cell's contents.
For example,
in column A, I have the text "Sheet1" and in column B, I need the formula to return the contents of cell B15 from Sheet1, based upon column A.
I have Excel 2007, here's what i want to do. I've got a workbook created with several worksheets in it. I want to input the name of a project in say, cell A1 on sheet1. Then on sheet2 cell C4, I want the text I input into the afore mentioned cell to show. I know how do do this with numbers (using the autosum button), but I can't figure out how to do it with text, though it's probably very simple & I'll be embarassed when I get an answer. Following is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do if the above example is confusing.
I have a Project Cost sheet and on it I input (text) a description of a building to be constructed. The cells next to it will be the associated costs of that particular building. There will be several buildings listed on the sheet. On a Sales Figures Sheet in the same workbook, I want to list those same buildings and then their corresponding sales prices. I want these descriptions to be automatically pulled from the costs sheet, so that I only have to input the sales figures.
Im trying to copy a formula to a cell via VBA.
Range("A3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet1!A3"
Ive tried all sorts of ', ", &, combinations, I cannot find it.
I have this formula in excel 2007:
=COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"1";Blad1!X:X;"H")+COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"6";Blad1!X:X;"H").
Blad is Dutch for sheet, by the way.
In this formula, I want to let the ranges in Sheet1 be dependent of values in Sheet2. The formula itself is in Sheet2.
W must be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B12 and X to be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B9.
I tried this by using the INDIRECT formula, but the quotation marks of the search values are giving errors.
I was using the formula below which was working fine for copying across 20 columns and down however many rows, but now the requirements have changed to 90 columns. I have tested this out with the 90 columns but the Indirect function is bogging down the spreadsheet with the constant recalculating.
=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&COLUMNS($A$1:A$1)&"'!P"&ROWS($A$1:$A8)),"")
I rearranged the formula to the one below, but how can I have the reference to the sheet name changed as in the formula above without using the Indirect?
=IFERROR(INDEX('1'!$A$8:$AT$115,MATCH($A3,'1'!$A$8:$A$115,0),MATCH("PAT",'1'!$A$7:$AT$7,0)),"")
The sheet reference will change from '1' through '90'.
I need to copy a range of values from sheet 3 to sheet1. When I recorded macro, I got the below code. But, instead of RC in the 4th line <ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet2!RC"> I need to pass values like A1,A20 etc.
Since the values range & column to be copied would be varying dynamically, (say for first iteration it would be A1: A20 & for second iteration, I need to copy C1: C20.) how to pass these variables to the macro and use it instead of the static "RC". Whatever column I specify, it should copy from that <column>StartRow to that <column> EndRow.
Sub Updtval(StartRow As Integer, EndRow As Integer, f As Integer)
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet2!RC"
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A1:A6"), Type:=xlFillDefault
End Sub
Currently I have a worksheet which is organized to have two pages on it. I will try to explain, i.e. imagine one page of the worksheet in the hypothetical range of A1:D26, then another page in the range E27:K50. So it is staggered on the same sheet. Is there an easy way to copy the range of E27:K50 onto another worksheet.
Aside from the regular copy and paste, I am having problems because there are formulas in the 2nd range (E27:K50) which loose their references once copied.
i.e the formula SUM(A1:A10) I would like to be SUM('Master List'!A1:A10) on the new sheet. Is there an easier way then going through all the formulas and adding the master list part.
I'm using a macro to paste a formulae into a destination cell on another worksheet.
The problem is that I need the Macro to put the name of the active sheet into the formulae
VB:
Sheets("Front").Select
Range("E1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("E3").Select
ActiveCell.Formula=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(9E+99+306,*****ActiveSheet.Name*****!F:F,1),6,4))
The macro has to work whis way becuse I will be using it with multiple worksheets, all with different names.
I have a formula in a cell which is refered to other cell within the same sheet and also to other sheet from other file. say
C1 = A1+B1+data file c1 Data file is another file in other location.
I was trying to break a external reference link (from Data File) from Data _ Edit Link, but it is converting all the formula to value. How is it possible to break only the external link without damaging the formula within the sheet say c1 = A1+B1+26 (value from data file c1)
Attached I have a document where I am wanting all of the individual sheet names on the Total page. Rather than having to change each formula to match the sheet name I believe there is a way to reference the sheet name column (AO) in the formula so you can drag it down to fill in the columns. I am basic with Excel and do not know how to add this indirect function into my current formulas.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel workbook that has many spreadsheets (each one sheet has a client name)I have another excel workbook that has these client names on one sheet (on a list) and next to every name I have a number (i.e total turnover of the year).
In the first workbook (where every client has his sheet (tab named after the client) I want to have a cell that equals to the sum of some cells on the other workbook, that refer to the specific client
(it looks like this ='[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$81+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$197+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$313+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$429)
I want this sum to be added to every sheet of this workbook. each sheet refers to a client, so $J$81, $J$197 etc must be changed for the correct cell that refers to the name of the client. The tab names are alphabetical and so s the list.
Is there any way to do it, without re-entering the formula to each one?
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI managed to find this great bit of code some time ago and would now like to add to it. The code basically identifies any duplicates in column A and then lists the results in a message box,e.g.:
Duplicate Name: REF12345
Rows: 2,3
Works great for 1 or 2 duplicates but if there are many it becomes quite difficult to keep track. I'd like keep the code as is but add highlighting to the identified cells.
I am trying to find a way to automatically highlight all the cells specified by the cell references in a column on another worksheet (which will constantly have new values added).
On the attached sample, the 'Data Before' tab shows the base data before any highlighting. As cell references are added to the 'References' tab in 'column A' I want the respective cell to be highlighted on the 'Data Before' tab resulting in the 'Data After' tab and each time a new cell reference is added to the 'References' tab, the respective cell is then highlighted on the 'Data Before' tab.
I would like to have control over the highlight colour so that a different highlight colour can be specified for each date change, i.e. all cell references that are shown on the same date are the same colour but where the date changes a different highlight colour can be specified.

I have the following formula in cell L51 of all sheets calculating the volume depending on the monthly index that is chosen from the drop down menu in a particular sheet. =If(MIndex=0, SUM(D33:L50),If(MIndex=1,SUM(D34:L50),If(MIndex=2,SUM(D35:L50), 0))). I am getting the following message and I do not understand what it is about.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, creating a circular reference. Try one of the following
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.
A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use
=COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"),
and the next date comes along the formula changes to
=COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I administer an excel spread sheet which over the years I have added bits of code to which now generates our weekly roster sheets and our daily duty sheets. Sheet 1 is the weekly roster and sheets 2 to 8 are the daily sheets. If an employee is on leave or sick for the coming week the value S or L is entered in to Column B on each daily sheet and when the roster is processed for printing it strikes through the names of the employees for each day that they are off. What I would like to do is then Highlight the name on sheet 1 the weekly roster sheet so at a glance we can see on the main week sheet any issues we may have for the next week. What it needs to do is if the cell in column B contains S or L on sheets 2 to 8 the name which is in column C on these sheets needs to be matched to the name in column D on sheet 1 and this cell highlighted.

I have an Excel spreadsheet.
On Sheet1 I have a vast amount of data (over 7000 rows and up to column AA):
eg A Code, B Description, C Page, etc etc AA Proposed Deletions (this column is currently blank and I want to highlight from those found in Sheet2),
On Sheet2 I have a list of proposed deletions (500 rows and 3 columns).
A Code, B Description, C Page
How do I make Sheet1 look up the deletion from Sheet2 and highlight them on Sheet1?
If I have a cell that has as its contents as sheet name, is there anyway I can use the cell's address to reference that sheet?
As an example, say I have in Sheet1, cell A1, the text Sheet2. And let's say I want to return the value of cell B2 on whichever sheet the text of A1 says. So, on Sheet1, I might have this:
In sheet1, i wan to enter a date in cell A2
after i have enter a date, in sheet2 it will search the date entered and bold the cell to red.
*Sheet2 looks like a calender that have all the dates*
I have a spreadsheet that shows a large number of folks we had working in a particular division from Jan. 1st until now, 1800 +. Some of the folks are on the sheet twice due to having more than one role. The sheet lists last name, first name, skill description, pay rate, company they worked at...etc. Most of the folks on the list are not currently working but some are. I have another spread sheet that lists the folks that ARE currently working. I'm trying to see if there is a way to compare the two sheets, via a formula, that will be able to identify when the first name, last name, company name, and skill description are the same and then have those identified deleted from the first sheet.
