Dynamic Named Range Without Blanks
Jun 17, 2008I need to populate a cell with a dropdown list via data validation. The source is a list that contains blanks both in between data and at the end of the list. Like this:
John
Peter
(BLANK)
Ann
(BLANK)
Carol
(BLANK)
(BLANK)
(BLANK)
etc.
The blank cells are actually not empty, but contains formulas (and I therefore assume I cannot use COUNTA for leaving them out).
Anyone knows how to create a source list for the data validation dropdown list that leaves out any blanks (containing formulas) in the middle and the end of the range?
Ignore Blanks & Duplicates In Dynamic Named Range
Feb 27, 2008I am having 2 problems with dynamic named ranges. On one hand, I am getting a LOT of duplicates in some ranges and a lack of entries in those ranges that have too many blanks. Here is a sample of the dynamic named range in the first column:
This first range is called "NamedRange_1"
=OFFSET(Data!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(Data!$A:$A)-1,1)
how to eliminate both the duplicates and the blanks?
AVERAGE Without Range Ignoring Blanks
Jan 4, 2009Trying to determine the best way to do this. I understand that the standard AVERAGE function will ignore blanks if given a range; the function I'm using does a search for a particular value to determine if a value is to be included in the averaging: ...

View 1 Replies View RelatedCount Blanks In Dynamic Range
Feb 25, 2010I want to count blanks in a horizontal range (all in one row) that will change (dynamic range). The values in the range could be numbers or words. Some values may be added to the end, but there may still be some empty cells to the right of the last value. My goal is to count blanks in the range up to the last entered value, but no beyond that. As an example:
A6 = 2
B6 = empty cell
C6 = 2
D6 = empty cell
E6 = tt
F6 = empty cell
The range for the count blanks would be A6:E6. F6 is not included because the last entered value is in cell E6.
The answer (count blanks in dynamic range) should be 2.
I have got these 3 formulas to work, but it seems that there must be a better (shorter, faster calculating, more elegant) formula than these:
=COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(A6,,,,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDIRECT(""1:""&COLUMNS(A6:F6)))))))
=COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(A6,,,,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+{1,2,3,4,5,6})))
=COUNTBLANK(A6:INDEX(A6:F6,MATCH(9.9E+307,MATCH(A6:F6,A6:F6)+TRANSPOSE(ROW(INDIRECT(""1:""&COLUMNS(A6:F6)))))))
Count Blanks In Range With Another Dynamic Conditions
Mar 15, 2013Assume this Data in a spreadsheet
I want to count blank "PI" based on "Product name" & "Product date" occurence together
So I created intermediate field "IS Blank", and I dunno what formula can give me the below results
My obective to get this result
CountBlank for PI = 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Name..... Product Date.... PI...... IsBlank "PI" [Desired Formula output]
xxx .......................ddd ...............Blank.................. 1
xxx .......................ddd ...............Blank.................. 0 (counted above for same xxx&ddd)
xxx .......................ddd222 ..........Blank.................. 1 (PD changed to ddd222)
yyy ......................ttt............... Blank....................1 (another product,yyy)
yyy .....................ttt ...............Blank......................0 (same product and date, so not counting again)
Ignoring Blanks When Calculating SUM
Aug 12, 2014I am using a simple SUM formula like this, =SUM(D10:E10). I would like for the SUM cell to be left blank until a value is entered into the cells D10. Currently it calculates the SUM as 0.

Creating Named Range Taking Avg To Date Of Dynamic Range

View 1 Replies View RelatedSUM Last 6 Cells With Data (ignoring Blanks In Between)
Aug 8, 2014I want to count back the last 6 cells in column S which has data (ignoring any blank cells) and add them up.
My data is ranging betwen S62:S143 (with S144 being the cell that I want to show the total for the last 6 cells with data). I have column headings and various other bits of data from S1:S61 that I want to exclude completely but need to keep for historical purposes.
Here is an example of some of the data in column S:
56
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL

45
34
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
37
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
42
BLANK CELL
46
49
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
36
35
This is my formula so far:
=SUM(OFFSET(S62,0,0,COUNTA(S62:S143)))
I have tried adding a negative and positive number on the end of the COUNTA formula but all it does is count all the cells within that given heigh range, not a specific number of cells with data.
I don't specifically need to use SUM. As long as I get a total.
Dynamic Named Range ..
Dec 30, 2008I need to create a dynamic named range called "DIVLOC," that corresponds to a sheet called Divloc_List in the workbook. Then, I need to take this range and perform a vlookup against it. I tried to create the range in the sheet itself (it wasn't dynamic), and then used that in the vlookup in the vba code, but I got error 2402 (I think). I'm not sure how to define the dynamic range in vba code, and then use the range in the vlookup.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDynamic Named Range Somehow Changes
Jan 4, 2009what would cause the formula for a dynamic named range to keep changing on its own? I enter the following formula:
OFFSET('Raw Data'!$D$2,0,0,COUNTA('Raw Data'!D:D),1)
Which I save and somehow gets changed to the following formula:
OFFSET('Raw Data'!$D$2,0,0,COUNTA('Raw Data'!XFD:XFD),1)
This is happening to several named ranges I created. I’ve tried to correct this by editing the formula which seems to work but changes again. I’ve also deleted the named range and recreated it with the same change process taking place.
In case it matters the named ranges are being created on a table imported into Excel via MS Query.
Dynamic Named Range
Nov 6, 2009I am trying to create a dynamic named range to select a list of text entries from a number of different columns that I am using for Data Validation. The columns have entries of variable length, none more than 30. What I am seeking to achieve is that having selected a heading in cell C3 the available list in DV dropdowns elsewhere are governed by the contents of C3.
I have created a defined name, StartPos that uses the contents of C3 to evaluate to the cell reference (e,g $H$4) of the topmost cell in the relevant column. However when I try to use it in the usual formula
=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),1) formula I try
=OFFSET(StartPos,0,0,COUNTA(StartPos:[ ],1)
I get stuck at what to put in the brackets. Ideally I would like to use the COUNTA to go down to the last entry in the column. However, even when I try to give the range a height of 30 rows:
=OFFSET(StartPos,0,0,30,1) I still get an error.
Convert Dynamic Range To Static Named Range
Sep 13, 2007My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range.
B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
Sequentially Number List Ignoring Blanks?
Feb 7, 2014I have a column of week numbers but some gaps in the list (e.g. the job is complete and so I do not want to reference it) I am trying to create a list of jobs by week number. I need to sequentially number jobs to then use Vlookup e.g. job1-week1 job2-week1 etc to display be week.
I can work out to number the list ignoring the blanks but then resetting to 1 with each new week?

Jul 16, 2008=IF(Z2="","",Z2&","&IF(AA2="","",AA2&",")&IF(AB2="","",AB2&",")&IF(AC2="","",AC2&","))
I'm using the above formula to join text from columns Z through AC, separated by a comma. I now want to remove the comma at the end of the new string. Also, I would prefer it if the four cells were separated by a slash rather than a comma, but when I simply replace the commas in the formula with slashes I get an error.
List First Instance Only Ignoring Blanks In ROWS
Dec 11, 2008I have a set up of investments. Say A1 through to G1. Then on the next row the investments range from A1 to G1 again. This continues down many rows. There are spaces such as D1 and D2 through E2.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
1
ausbil........................
Starting in column H, I would like to list the investments but ignore investments that have already appeared on the row (ie list only the first occurence) and ignore the blanks as well. For example, D1, E1, F1 are to be ignored because of the blank, and the fact that ausbil and amp already appear.
In row 2, the blanks in D2 and E2 are ignored as well as the repeated 'amp' in F2. So the table should look like below from column H:
H
I
J
K
1
ausbil
amp
vanguard
bt
2
amp
becton
fidelity
bt
Is there a simple formula for this? It has to be in rows as I have at least 60 columns of data before these columns begin. There are at least 300 rows.
Dynamic Named Range With GETPIVOTDATA
Jun 18, 2013I 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$15 with it, the OFFSET formula for the dynamic range gives an error.
And how can I grab the column headers (week number) dynamically?
Dynamic Named Range Changing?
Feb 25, 2014I am doing an Advanced Filter, and I am using a named range in my VBA code that decides the Criteria range.
The dynamic named range is called 'Criteria' and this is the code:
VB:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,Sheet1!$BZ$23,41)
However, when I run the VBA code, although it works perfectly, afterwards the named range has changed to:
VB:
=Sheet1!$A$2:$AO$3
I just want this to remain unchanged, as it works great. This is my VBA code:
VB:
'Filter and send data to new sheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Select

Offset Dynamic Named Range
Jul 23, 2014I know how to create a dynamic named range so that no blanks appear in my data validation list but have only ever done this for a list in a column, i.e...
-----A-----
1--Apple
2--Orange
3--Pear
4--Bannana
5--
6--
A1:A6 would be named Fruit, then name manager, edit: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNT($A1:$A6),1)
The Data Validation list then shows Apple, Orange, Pear, Bannana. And if I add Peach into A5 later, that then appears in the list.
What I need though is to edit this as if the named range 'Fruit' covers cells A1:F1.
------A---------B-------C--------D-----------E-----------F
1--Apple---Orange---Pear---Bannana---
2--

Dec 13, 2009In the attached workbook, I have identical sets of data in column A separated by an blank cell. I need a macro for the user form that i need to build. The code needs to find the end of each named range, (Range1,Range2 and Range3), to insert blank row at the end of each range and to copy the value of the textbox from the user form in each row so to keep the sets of data identical.

and right after I run the macro it turns to:
=OFFSET(Manager!#REF!,0,0,MATCH("*",Manager!$A:$A,-1),3)

Is A Dynamic Named Range The Answer
Jun 1, 2007I have a sheet containing three drop down boxes which gives me a count of data in a table matching the criteria. (Between 2 dates and equals a depot name).
I am trying to create a chart to only show this data, but I don't want to do it using a pivot table as the end user has no understanding of them and just wants to fill in drop down boxes.
I am beginning to think that using a Dynamic Named Range might be the answer. I believe I am able to achieve what I want with this process but I am not entirely sure how to do it.

Dynamic Named Range Without Offset()
Oct 15, 2009When I make a dynamic named range, I typically do something like:
