Basically i want to use a UDF to count cells in a range of a certain colour.
But i want to make it easy for the user to be able to change the colour the function counts, so i thought i could ask them to colour the cell in which the function is written.
Is there a way to tell the function to pick up the Interior.ColorIndex of the cell it is written in?
Use Application.caller.interior.colorindex
I’m trying to write a custom function that always references the cell above it but I can’t figure out the proper syntax to do so i.e.
Function Multiple_Cell_Above()
Multiple_Cell_Above = cellabove * 10
End function
I'm trying to call a function that is stored in a cell as a text string. In cell A1, I have the text Sum('Sheet1:Sheet3'!C3). I want to call this function from a different cell. Is this possible using the pre-defined functions, or would I be better creating my own function?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a user-defined function, but the function needs to know what cell it has been placed in. I want to use this cell reference to get some other offset values. I can easily find out offset values based on the ActiveCell, but not for those offset values based on where the UDF is actually placed, which could be almost anywhere on the worksheet.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI understand the specification of a Function procedure does not provide for it to change the contents of cells. However, I have the need/preference to be able to change cell data by using a custom function (instead of a Sub) because of its ease of use and execution of multiple what-if scenarios - displayed jointly.
Is there a way around this specification/limitation - any way? Are there different techniques (standard or non-standard) to achieve thisr goal?
How does one pick up the data contained in a worksheet cell (say B5) and use it in the vba code of a custom function without passing the cell as an arguement
View 3 Replies View RelatedI saw there were codes to sum or count cells that have a specified Fill Color
http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/sum-count-cells-by-color.htm
However it says the changing of a cells fill color will not cause the Custom Function to recalculate, I really need to recalculate the data if there are any changes in the selected range
How would you write a custom function that you could plug in a cell that would do the following.
If the value in the cell is greater than 0, traverse up that column to clear the values until it reaches the cell in that column that has been colored orange.
I am performing a lookup using the populare user defined function nlookup, which does not take a lookuparray argument to find lookup values. But I only want to return lookup values that fall into a certain array. To accomplish this, I figured out that I need a way to specify a condition of the type "if cell address of lookup value falls within range"
It should be possible if I find a way to return the cell address of the nlookup value, but as nlookup is not limited by a lookuparray argument, so I was not able to use the address/index/match that come up in similar questions.
I work for a UK charity and have a list of funders in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.
One of the columns refers to the date on which a new application for funding can be made to that particular funder.
In many cases new applications for funding can't be made for 1 or more years since the last application - sometimes as many as 5 years later. How to get a cell to refer to the date that it contains.
For example, say I have in cell A1 "The Acme Funding Organisation" and in cell B1 (i.e. the "Reapply when?" column) a date of 01/04/2013 (British date format, i.e. 1 April 2013) then what I want Excel to do is to look at the date in cell B1 and if that date has been reached to highlight the cell red. That way I'll know that the reapply date has been reached & that a new application can be made.
I have a selection that I am going through with a 'for each' and then performing actions if the cells meet a certain criteria. I have been referencing nearby cells with the offset function, but now my sheet is too big and I need to change the code often and the offset function is difficult, is there anyway to refer to cells without the offset function, preferably by column letter
PHP Code:
For Each Cel in SelectionIf Cel = x Thenvalue1 = Cel.Offset(0,39).Valuevalue2 = Cel.Offset(0,5).ValueEnd IfNext CelÂ
In conditional formatting, which formula do I use to refer to another cell? Trying

How can I use (with or without macro) cell text to refer to different worksheets inside a formula. For example I've formula =INDEX(Mary!B9:E17...) but I wanted to write that 'Mary' or whatever sheet name to a cell in one sheet and sheet refenrence in this index-formula would change accordingly.

I have a cell containing a 'bullet' symbol (•) and a cell containing text.
If I make the bullet red and the text is black is there a way I can combine them in the same cell and the bullet remains red and the text black?
Essentially the situation Im in is I have a load of text I need to add coloured bullets to and I dont want to individually paste in and colour format all the bullet points because it would be too time consuming.
macro which can paste the value from A1, to another B1 and when A1 is edited again, pasted it in B2. This will probably go on and on until B30. I have tried the if else then in Macro, and even the if elseif, but both don't go futher than B2. E.G A1=1 B1=1 A1=4 B2=4 A1=3 then nothing happens to B3. If there is a way to make this work, it will be great. The way i am tryin to get it is to have =if(B1="","",1) for each cell from C1:30 and with C31 the formula "=count(C1:C30)+1". Then i formated C31 to a custom and make it so that before numbers, there is an B. This means that if B1,2,3 and 4 and numbers in them, then C31 will read B5. That will be the cell i want my next record to go. I would prefer it if there is just a code that i can enter that will go to the next cell when it knows the current cell has a digit in it but if i have to, the count way will do,

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis just a shot in the dark, but does anyone have a custom function that calculates the check digit for a cusip? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUSIP
The algorithm is listed above.
Imagine i have 2 columns: Open and Close, both of these got numbers like
1 ---- 2
3 ---- 1
4 ---- 10
and so on. I had to make a function which checks if some number is in between any of those Open and Close numbers and count how many, for example: im searching for number 1.3, so according to previously drawn table i would get answer of 2, because 2 is in between 1----2 and 3-----1, i achieved this by a simple function:
=IF(OR(AND(Bendras!$J$1>=Table1[[#This Row],[Open]],(Table1[[#This Row],[Close]]>=Bendras!$J$1)),AND((Bendras!$J$1<=Table1[[#This Row],[Open]]),(Table1[[#This Row],[Close]]<=Bendras!$J$1))),TRUE,FALSE)
this generated an additional column with TRUE and FALSE values which i counted with:
=COUNTIF(Table1[T/F],TRUE)
and got the answer.
so now then preparations are ready i need to make a function which would for example if the number i was searching was in 10th and 45th rows find the MAX/MIN values of Close column between those rows(hope i made my self clear)
this is how i was hoping to do that : first of all make a new array of all cell addresses from "Close" column which were "TRUE" from the first function i wrote and when do w/e i like with those cell addresses in other functions.

I have a column of data with 2 possible values, "H" or "A". The second column contains numbers (unsorted).
How do I write the VBA code to return the Highest number, where the first column is 'H' ?
Eg.
Location Attendance
H 25365
A 17436
A 47252
H 15494
A 37578
H 17549
H 28756
A 59756
This would need to return 28756.
I am very proficient at Excel/VBA and have a question about custom/user-defined functions that may be a little more advanced. I understand how to write custom functions and access them through the user-defined functions menu, but I would like to be able to include my function in an add-in that users could simply add, and then access the function via the 'Fx' box at the top of Excel, like they would any other built-in function, instead of having to go to the user-defined functions menu. I guess what I am looking for is how to add 'built-in' functions and not user-defined ones. I just want the user to start typing '=customFunction(' and have the parameters pop-up in tool-tip form, like any Excel built-in function would.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to write a formula that inserts a column and then does a vlookup in that new column using the cell just to the left of it as the first variable.

Instead of using =vlookup($A2,Sheet1A1:B50,2,false)
How do I replace the $A2 part with some code that says, "the cell to the left of here..."

Sheet names in Col B
B2 : Sheet1
B3 : Sheet2
Etc
I tried
=INDIRECT(B3,$J$58)
at C3 where $J$58 is the cell I would like to reference on 50 different sheets
Formula returns #REF!
Col C ref's $J$58
Col D ref's $L$58
Col E ref's $N$58
Col F ref's $P$58
So as I copy the 4 formulas down, the ref to the correct sheet should update but the cell ref's should remain
