How To Create A 'dynamic' Formula
Apr 22, 2006
I have a large spreadsheet file with numerous worksheets.
Each sheet represents one month of the year and is named Jan05, Feb05, Mar05
etc.
In the "Summary" sheet I want to automatically reference a range in the
other sheets.
For example:
In the Summary sheet column A, I have the sheet names:
Jan05
Feb05
Mar05
etc.
In column B, (let's use B5 as an example) I want a formula that reads
something like:
=B4 + Apr05!C7
This seems simple enough, but how can I write a formula that 'automatically'
enters the sheet name (i.e. "Apr05") in the formula?
The row containing the data for Apr05 is only created when that month comes
along, in order to keep the file size as small as possible at any time.

I am having trouble creating a dynamic forumla in VBA. I used concatetnate to create a dynamic formula (below):
VB:
Sheets("Monthly Snapshot").Select
Range("L7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
[Code]....
But - this is now the formula stored in the macro. So everytime I run the macro I get this exact same formula, not the new formula I created with the previous action. How can I get this new formula to show in the macro, or just have the macro convert the text in the cell into a formula by deleting the " ' " charcter on the front?

I'm trying to create a dynamic sum formula off of a table of data which is then used in pivot tables and pivot charts. What I would like it to do, is show me the summation of values AFTER a filter has been applied. Everything I've tried returns a sum of the entire table (includes hidden cells). Perhaps I'm searching with the wrong query terms (this not called a dynamic sum formula?)
Using slicers and pivot charts, I need my account managers to be able to look at their territories quarterly performance vs. a "fair share" of company performance during that quarter. I.e. they would select the slicer for their region, and dates (ex april, may, june) and the pivot chart would show territory performance during that time, with a second column chart series which is company total from april/may/june (my dynamic sum) divided by the 8 territories...thus giving me what should be "fair share" during that quarter. Each territory has equal Opportunity, so this would allow them to see who is over-performing and underperforming in their territories.

I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.
I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".
I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.
Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?

I need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:
[Code] .........
You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.

is it possible to have an dynamic list, so that when I add in a new entry in to the input column, the output column will automatically change to the same thing. Also then my dropdown will realise a new entry has been inputted (uses the output list) and the list will update to show this.

Enclosed is a copy of a workbook in Excel 2003, in which I copied the VBA from a web site to see how that works. I am not a guru in Excel but always curious to see how things can be achieved to maybe enhance it in the future use. I have tried everything based on my knowledge but did not succeed.

I'm looking to create a dynamic invoice that has one main invoice worksheet that references a worksheet with client billing information. Keep in mind that line items will differ between clients, and ideally I'd want to be able to:
Have date autopopulate, included in every line item Select a client, which populates billing info as well as the invoice # nomenclature specific to that client Be able to have client line items specific to the client populate based on the dropdown I select
Overall, no real specific guidelines, just trying to pick some other people's brains about how to approach a dynamic invoicing template. To preface, we have about 60 clients.

I want the user to type data via a form, but the number of the records to be added may vary.For this purpose I want to create a form, which has a "new record" button, which adds a new textbox, checkbox and radio button to the form. I do not really know, how to add these controls on such a way to the form, that the new elements will be well aligned below to the existing ones and the size of the form will also be adapted if it is necessary.

I am trying to create a horizontal bar chart with a product code data set. The number of codes will increase over time. For each product code there may it may not be a sales value and that sales value will increase over time. I am trying to plot the product codes on the y axis and sales value in the x axis.

I am looking for a macro that will allow me to create a dynamic range based on the settings I give it. I would like the dynamic range to be called tracking_number and it to have a reference to =Offset(MainReport!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(MainReport!$A:$A),1)
If this is possible I would really appreciate it. The reason I need this is because I have 2 workbooks. They are the one with the MainReport in it and then the Master workbook. Every day the workbook containing the MainReport is overwritten with more data, so I can not store a dynamic range and reference it each day.

I have a table of company data, and I want to be able to select different companies data and create a chart automatically perhaps by pressing a 'create' button.
The table data contains three values I want to populate in the chart: red & green sales which I would like shown as a stacked bar, and red as a percentage of total sales which I would like on a different axis as a line.
I tried to create a macro but my VBA skills are almost non-existent.

I have created a spreadsheet which uses data validation to allow a user to select a company, start Date, end date, and projected months in order to output different figures. I have attached a spreadsheet to this post in case that was hard to understand.
Since there is data validation, indexing, and matching going on, as different selections are made, various tables change as a result. Uou will be able to see what I mean as you open the example sheet and start messing around with the data validation boxes.
The problem I am encountering now, is creating an exponential graph that will also keep changing as the user changes their selections in the data validation boxes. I am unsure if this is even possible, but I figured it was worth a shot to ask. On the example sheet, I have included a graph similar to the one I want, but it only contains data in a certain range of cells, rather than dynamically changing to accommodate whatever data is outputted.
Here is what I am looking for in the graph:
1. Whatever dates are selected by the user in the data validation boxes, along with the projected dates will be on the x-axis.
2. The PMPM figures associated with the selected dates, and the projected dates on the y-axis.
3. Ability to make different selections from the data validation boxes and still have a dynamic chart that keeps updating itself.

I need to create a 2-stage dependent drop down list.
Stage 1:
In cell G7 (on a tab called 'Data'), I have created a drop down list based on a range name called 'Region' .
Stage 2:
In cell G8, I need to create a drop down list which is dependent on the value chosen in G7.
Problem is, I will need to create a dynamic range name here which needs to vlookup or match the value from G7 in a dynamic list of data (the data is on different tab called 'RCA Data' and is spread over columns A:E with row A for headings - the data will go down an undetermined number of rows)
Every time the value in G7 matches a value in the 'RCA data' (the potential matches are stored in column
D) I need the corresponding cell value in column C to be added to the dynamic list. This list then needs to be available to choose from a drop down list in G8.

I need the drop down menu to update when the user adds a new entry. For example, if the user decides to add companies to the financial table, no matter how many new rows they add, our drop down menu at the top will update to include the new the entries. I want this to be the case in every table. How do I do this?

I have a pivot table without report filter and I set insert page break after one of my selected row labels.
I also would like when I print, these row Labels become the title of these pages at the same time.
Actual File : Untitled.png
However I would like when I click on print or save as pdf will print all pages as one file and each Center that I have set page break for, in separate page and add that specific center as its title:

On another sheet I would like to create a list of the countries.
However the list should be dynamic: I want that the last country in the list is UK. It should stop, when it sees the first element of the list for a second time.
The reason: In some years the list might change, countries will be added or similiar. For example: there will be a new entry called "EA19" => the list will have 1 additional entry.

I am employing code to label dynamic ranges that takes the form of,
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R10C5,0,0, COUNTA(DMS!C5),COUNTA(DMS!R10))"
'dms_j
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_j", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C10,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C10,-1),1)"
'dms_p
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_p", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C16,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C16,-1),1)"
'dms_r
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_r", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C18,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C18,-1),1)"
'dms_t
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_t", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C20,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C20,-1),1)"
The dynamic ranges are getting entered but the problem is that the range "dms" overshoots by six cells into blank cells at the bottom of the table, and the rest of the ranges overshoot by ten cells into blank cell area. I have deleted, cleared and destroyed everything around the table and re-sized the active area to no avail.

I've created my dynamic named ranges using the OFFSET function, ex.
="OFFSET(SAMPLE!$D$4,1,0,COUNTA(SAMPLE!$D:$D)-1,1)"
I'm now trying to get my chart to use that range. I read at [URL] .... that I need to make sure my series reference is a fully qualified reference. So I've entered that series reference using the name of the workbook followed by the range name (=2012-PIRS.xlsx!SAM_CLAR2DEL). I have two copies of my workbook (one as xlsm with VBA project, and one with xlsx without VBA) and I can't get Excel to accept the series value in either workbook.
ERROR MSG:
The formula you typed contains an error. Try one of the following:
- Make sure you've included all parentheses and required arguments.
- To use a function, click Insert Function on the Formulas tab (in the Function Library group).
- If you include a reference to another sheet or workbook, verify that the reference is correct.
- If you are not trying to enter a formula, avoid.........

I have a column with dates in each cell. I need the user to the able to pick a date from a list in the adjacent cell but it must be a date on the same weekday.eg if cell a1 is 23/10/2013 then cell b1 should display a list of Fridays in the future for the user to select from and then it should put the selected value in the cell (eg 30/10/2013).

I am currently pulling information from a database into Excel. In column A is a list of dates that vary depending on how many days I decide to pull. On any given day there are options to which car will be driven and it is random and there are attributes associated with that drive such as below. If the car was not driven the data pull inputs "No Data" or a "0". On any given day up to three cars can be driven but it is still possible that only one will be driven. This is shown in the second table below. I'd like to be able to create an automated summary table such as the first table below. The summary table should be organized by date and show what cars were driven and their attributes. I know this seems simple but in reality I have six different cars and up to 10 attributes for each car and will be pulling months at a time. The only thought I have had is to do a for loop that checks every individual cell but I am not sure how to implement that.

My objective is to automate the creation of a dynamic top-5 list by summing a number related to multiple entries of an item (text string). Data are added monthly and while the textual strings (imported) are constant (text1 always reads as text1) the text strings themselves may vary from "text1" to "text2", etc. What I'm trying to achieve is finding the top-5 five items and copy/paste them to a range on the same worksheet. The range into which they are pasted are source cells for DSUM criteria. The frequency with which a text string appears is not critical, but the associated count is.

I'm trying to create a dynamic array so that when a user enters the first sheet name via an input box, excel will know to select the other sheets with ending (2), (3), (4) etc.
Currently this code works only if there are 4 sheets present (as I set this way), anything lower/higher is out of range.
How do I make it so that it will select sheets if there are less than 4 sheets present?
I tried nesting, but I pretty sure this array needs redimming or something. Is ubound a better option?

I need drop-down combo box to change a graph based on the option selected in the drop-down
Challenge: my Combo box resides on the First sheet only, but the items that populate in the drop-down list are dynamic and change depending on how many sheets exist for this document. The options in the list are Overall, Week 1, Week 2, ... Week N. Overall needs to sum up the data (or I can pull just from the summary page if I am lazy) and the Week N corresponds to a specific sheet added.
I currently am able to get my drop down to populate items correctly, and my macros to create the sheets dynamically with templates just fine (not bad for newbie).
So what I need to figure out is how to tie my drop down to make a scatter plot/bar graph based on the selected option and action. I can't find an attachment option here but here is some code:
Sheet 1 Code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Me.ComboBox1.Clear
Me.ComboBox1.AddItem "Overall"

Once a user of my workbook has input various price levels on the Input Page, the data is sorted on the output page. As the data on the Output Page is quite vast and not all of it is relevant on a particular day, the user is interested in just printing a certain range of data that are in 5 columns. I am trying to figure out how to set up a macro that will allow the user to enter into an Input Box the range to print (ie. Cells C25:G60).
I found one example on this site listed below that allows one to do that but I would like to make it more user friendly. I do not want to make the user have to write out Excel cooridinates. Specifically by allowing the user to input in the Input Box a High price level in Column C and a Low Price level in Column C ; The macro will look in Column C for the highest instance of this High Price and begin the range down to the last instance of the Low Price (there can be several instances of the exact price level.) The macro would then create the print preview of the cells Cxx:Gyy.
Sub SelectPrintArea()
Dim PrintThis As Range
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Set PrintThis = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select the Print Range", Title:="Select", Type:=8)
PrintThis.Select
Selection.Name = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
End Sub

I use the standard OFFSET-COUNT-MATCH method to create dynamic named ranges in my Excel projects. Needless to say, this method won't work on a spreadsheet with formulas extending beyond the current range. The count function counts the cells containing formulas, even though they may contain no data. Does anyone know how to construct a formula that will IGNORE the "formula only" cells??
