Ignore Inconsistent Formula
Aug 15, 2007I want to stop those little green error checking markers in the top corner of cells from appearing in my spreadsheet. My formula is correct however the error markers appear in 40(ish) cells and make it look very untidy. I know there is the option of turning background error checking off, however isn't appealing to me as I have other worksheets where I want to check for errors. Also, my report is used by 20 people so I can't change the options which might affect other reports they may have.
What I'd like to do is either turn off the option for one specific worksheet, or add a few lines of code which sets the cell properties to ignore the error for each of the cells affected. I've tried to use macro recorder to work out how to ignore a cell but it doesn't record anything for this action. Is anyone aware of the correct piece of code to carry out this action?
Inconsistent Font Size?
Jun 10, 2013I have my Excel set up for a default font size of 12 point.
I often download CSV data to insert into spreadsheets. It opens in a new spreadsheet, and it's properly displayed in 12 point size. When i copy and paste it into the ultimate target spreadsheet (which is also set to 12 point size) the pasted data shows up as 10-point and I have to change the font size back to 12-point every time.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid that re-sizing that occurs?
Dragging Down Formulas With Inconsistent Cells
Jun 11, 2008How figure out how to drag down a formula that looks like this for the first three cells (C3:C5)?
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D2:D5,Polls!B2:B5))/(SUM(Polls!B2:B5))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D8:D11,Polls!B8:B11))/(SUM(Polls!B8:B11))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D14:D17,Polls!B14:B17))/(SUM(Polls!B14:B17))
...etc.
Is there a way to let Excel know that I'm adding six to each cell, rather than it automatically adding one?
MATCH Function Inconsistent In Return Value
Jul 12, 2008I am using Excel 2002 and trying to do something which should be simple with MATCH.
I have an array of numbers ordered, starting at 0 and incrementing by 0.05 up to 20. I am then using the MATCH function to find the relative position of numbers 0,1,2,3,4 and 5. However, for number 0,1 and 2 the return value is one less than what it should be, for the numbers 3, 4 and 5 it is working as expected. By the way, the match_type I am using is the default 1.
Also I have formatted everything to be numbers and tried various things already, so am beginning to wonder is this is a known issue.
Checkbox Format Inconsistent In Userform
Apr 26, 2007OK I feel really stupid on this. I must be overlooking something very obvious.
If you look at the attached userform there are some checkboxes where the "check" has a bold appearance, and others where the check is not bold.
If you examine the properties of the checkboxes in VBE, they appear to be identical.
Compare Word With Inconsistent Addresses
Jun 17, 2008I have 2 columns to compare which has almost same data but in different formats or sources. I need to update a 3rd columns as 'Yes or No' by checking the checking the data in both the columns. For ex. - Column A has data as - "BIENZ, STEPHEN R"
and Column B has data as - "SALTZER MED GRP/BIENZ". Now as 'BIENZ' is same in both columns so 3rd column should get updated as 'Yes'. There are 3000 rows which needs to be compared in this way.
Harvest Data From Workbooks With Inconsistent Titles
Dec 8, 2009I have to pull data from a workbook poasted on a Sharepoint site on a weekly basis. The name of the spreadsheet changes each week, based on the date, and may not be consistent (ie: WBook12_4_9.xls, Wkbook12_04_09.xls, WBOOK12_4_09.xls). My users will have the spreadsheet open, and I'll tell them to ONLY have that one open, but how do I tell my macro to pull from that workbook?

Jul 4, 2014I have an excel stock price template, where I need the current price to calculate the mid point if the chart.
This is the text I get from the webquery
Underlying stock: SBIN 2699.00 as on Jul 04, 2014 15:30:36 IST
I need a formula to extract the stock price '2699.00' only from this text.
The problems are sometimes its may change to underlying "stock" to "index", SBIN to RELIANCE or TATASTEEL, and the price some times two digit say 16, some times 6 letters say 150.05, or 8 digits say 15160.00
Formula, the text in B1 and need the price at A100.
Multiple Worksheet Consolidation With Inconsistent Layouts
Jun 28, 2006Problem:
I'm attempting to consolidate 3 columns of data that is a varying number of rows in length (a range of 0-1000 roughly) for 53 different worksheets (1 per week of the year, named '1' , '2', etc.). All three columns on each page are the same length. What I want to do is consolidate all the data onto one worksheet 3 columns wide and X rows long (so one week's range of data after the other, but it doesn't have to be in any specific order). I am looking mainly for code because that seems to me like the best option at this point unless someone can provide a viable alternative.
What I've tried:
I've tried on a smaller scale, 5 worksheets, naming the ranges using the OFFSET function to create a dynamic range and then trying to paste one right after the other with no luck getting it to paste such a large range. Going along with that I chopped and dropped some code from another online source (forum? tutorial? I don't remember) and modified it to consolidate the 5 named ranges, however, the code does not really seem feasible for 53 named ranges. Loops seem reasonable, but I couldn't come up with an easy way to cycle through the worksheet names and named ranges.
I only have a few hours worth of VBA tinkering so I'm sort of lacking, but I have other coding experience so the structures and concepts are familiar just the syntax and finer points are greek to me. I sadly don't yet have the time to sit and learn VBA either.
If there's an easy way to put a few loops in or you think it should loop through and copy each cell rather messing around with ranges then go for it.
Here's what the code looks like after I modified it: ....
Transpose Inconsistent Data Row Groups In Column
Jul 1, 2008I have a data set in an Excel spreadsheet entered as one column of data. It is names with addresses, phone numbers, job title, etc. I want to select and transpose each person in the list so when I am done the person's name is in column A, Company name in column B and so on. The problem is the information listed is not the same for each person - so there is a different number of rows for each person. The names are in bold text though, so I need to select from one cell with bold text to the row BEFORE the next row with bold text and transpose the data for each selection. I found this forum by finding an old question here that is similar at Copy based on Bold Paste-transpose provided in that post and it produced no result.
View 4 Replies View RelatedExcel 2007 :: Inconsistent Time Scale - X Axis
Mar 8, 2012Basically I have some performance figures for a fund that I want to make a chart for, the problem is that the first date (the start date of the fund) is 15/09/2011 but every reporting date after that is the end of the month.
So my data looks something like this (not real figures)
15/09/11 20
30/09/11 22
31/10/11 23
30/11/11 25
31/12/11 26
31/01/12 27.5
29/02/12 29
So what I want is a graph where the x axis starts at 15/09/11 but then the next label is 30/09/11 and 31/10/11 etc, while still keeping the scale proportionate to the dates, ie the distance between 15/09/11 and 30/09/11 will be half the distance between 30/09/11 and 31/10/11.
The 2 outcomes I seem to be stuck with is either forcing the graph to start at 31/08/11 and making the y axis cross at 15/09/11, however with this the x axis goes left past the y axis cross point and it just looks dumb, although everything right of the y axis is correct.
Or secondly I get the graph to start at 15/09/11 and set it to label every 1 month and all the labels are 15/09/11, 15/10/11, 15/11/11 etc
I have access to excel 2003 or 2007.

Inconsistent Text Lookup - Return Postcodes From A List Of Descriptions
May 21, 2013I'm trying to write a formula which will return postcodes from a list of descriptions which aren't consistent in their layout.
For example, I need this to happen
UB3 3NQ - APR13
SW3 5RQ - APR13
Jul 12 - apr13 accrual - ME9 4FW
Mar 12 - apr13 accural - SO14 7P2
Returned to another column as,
UB3 3NQ
SW3 5RQ
ME9 4FW
SO14 7P2
The issue I'm having is that the postcodes aren't in the same place in order to use LEFT, RIGHT or MID functions, and they aren't always proceeded or followed by dashes or spaces in the same way.
I need the returned postcodes to come back in a uniform way so that any duplicates are grouped by the relevant pivot table.
Cell To Cell Tabbing Inconsistent
Feb 23, 2008My cell to cell tab function is not working properly in Excel (but works in other programs like Word). Instead of moving one cell to the right, such as A1 to B1, when I hit the TAB key it moves from A1 to T1, then to AM1. This is the case in EVERY excel document I open/create on my work computer (but all other computers at work do not have this problem). The documents are NOT protected and the cells are NOT locked.
View 9 Replies View RelatedFormula For Deleting A Formula When The Formula Has Done Its Calculation
Oct 7, 2009I was wondering if there is a formla that will delete a formula when it has done its calculation, or stop the formula from constantly updating.
I've got a formula
=IF(COUNTA(A1)=1,TODAY(),"")
When something is typed in Cell A1 the cell with the formula will input todays date.
Is there a formula that will stop this formula from updating, as when you go into the file on a different day the date would have been updated.
VBA To Read Text Formula And Related Constants And Insert As Formula Into Cell
Jul 30, 2014I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.

Vlookup Formula In VBA - Object Error (input A Formula Into A Cell)

When Dragging Formula Down The Formula Skips X Number Of Cells
Jul 22, 2014Is it possible to write a formula that skips x number of cells and have the formula autoincrement as usual. For an examples lets say I want to skip 3 cells and I have entered in the cells listed:
A1= "1"
A2= "2"
A3= "3"
Then I type in the simple formula in the cell
B1= "=A1"
and then drag down but it skips 3 cells so then
B5= "=A2"
B9= "=A3"
If it didn't skip then
B1= "=A1"
B2= "=A2"
B3= "=A3"
this is just an example as I will be writing more complex formulas and need some thing that I can write into the formula so that it skips.
Something similar to this B1 "=A1(skip3cells)"
Copy A Formula In A Cell And Then Paste Only The Text Of The Formula
Jul 16, 2007I would like to copy a formula in a cell and then paste only the text of the formula, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I would like to avoid going into the cells and absolute referencing or hitting F2, then copying the text.
When I hit "Ctrl C" to copy the cell, then hit "Alt/E/S/F/Enter" to paste the formula, it is just like a regular copy/paste formula-wise in that the references move.

Add Total $ Value Formula Into Existing SUMIFS Formula?
Apr 3, 2014In my attached spreadsheet example below, in the Rollup Data sheet, I have a formula (Cell: C17) that will give me the actual cost totals that has been invoiced on WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) for a total of $35,004.81.
What I need the formula do is run a redundant check procedure on my new WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total formula in the Rollup Data sheet (Cell: C17) against/vs. what the SAP system provides in the raw SAP Excel export contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet for the WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total of $35,004.81 (Cell: F9) that's highlighted in the yellow row.
In the Rollup Data sheet (Cell: C18), I need this formula to perform a similar function the as the previous formula above it (Cell: C17), but it this formulas function (Cell: C18) would have a separate operation that would only look for and return the single/sole WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual cost total contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet (Cell: F9).
In the Rollup Data sheet I could then compare my two WBS Element (DWRRI-BW096-231) actual costs totals, the first from the automated addition of all the individual matching WBS Element actual costs into an actual cost total (Cell: C17), the second (new formula I'm requesting) from the matching and return function of the single/sole WBS Element actual cost total (Cell: C18).
So, if the two separate WBS Element actual cost totals (Cells: C17 vs. C18) both equal $35,004.81, the formula in C17 is a success and has correctly identified and added all the actual costs contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet, but if the two separate WBS Element actual cost totals (Cells: C17 vs. C18) both do not equal $35,004.81, the formula in C17 failed for some reason and has not correctly identified and added all the required actual costs contained in the PTD-Actual Cost sheet.
