i encountered a problem with using the Indirect formula. it gives #REF error when i use it to refer to a sheet with brackets in them for example i want to refer to sheet "Data 101(1)" =INDIRECT(A1&"!A1"). I'm not allowed to change the sheetnames. is there a way around this using formula or vba?
View 6 RepliesI have a small problem that I may be able to deal with in another way, but if all else fails then I need some assistance.
I have this formula:
=AND(N3<=$U$1,MOD($U$1,N3)=0)
But unfortunately there will be a time when cell U1 will have the contents of perhaps 12(1). Is there any way to get the formula to ignore the brackets and the figures in the brackets?
I have 40 sheets with info and 2 summary sheets. One summary sheet will summarise the data on sheets 1 to 20 and the other 21 to 40.
Im using the following:
=INDIRECT(ROW()-9&"!X10")
This works fine for my 1st summary sheet enabling me to display the vlaue of X10 in sheets 1 to 20 in D10:D29.
However in the 2nd summary sheet I wish to display X10 in D10:D29 but only using sheets 21 to 40.
Is there a way to eliminate sheets 1 to 20 and just use 21 to 40.
I have a sheet with tabs Jan - Dec
My goal is for a user to specify a 3 letter Month in Cell A1 (i.e. Jun) and for my sheet to calculate all cells C5 from Jan - Jun.
I have tried using the following formula =SUM(INDIRECT("Jan:"&A1&"!C5")), but the indirect function does not seem to span across workbooks!
Applying my indirect formula to the rest of the cells in my sheet properly.
I am getting the values of cells in other sheets, using INDIRECT to use cell values to name the sheets. Here is an example of how the cells are now...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ....
The formulas in B1 are going to return the value of A5 in "Sheet 1" (or whatever value is in A1) and B2 will return the vale cell A5 in 'Sheet 2. The next line will be the value of A6 in Sheet 1, and the next will be A6 in Sheet 2 and so on.
So I have quite a few rows to get through I want to be able to autofill so it looks like this...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
2
Sheet 2
=(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
As it is now, when I autofill, it autofills the Sheet name part of it. It is looking like this...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
Excel isn't intuitive enough to know I want to move cells in the referenced sheet.
My sheets are all categorized by date, and I want to be sum individual cells on each worksheet on one final summary worksheet. For example, if cell A1 on each sheet was units sold and I wanted to see how many total units were sold between Jan-04-08 and Jan-16-08 my formula on the summary sheet would be:
=SUM('Jan-04-08:Jan-16-08'!A1)
But I want to be able to easily modify what dates my summary sheet shows so I tried using the function:
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&N14&":"&N15&"'!A1"))
where N14 was the starting sheet and N15 was the ending sheet. It keeps giving me #REF! however and I can't figure out why and don't know if this is something I can fix.
I have a sheet that needs to pull data from diferent cells and sheets at the same time. If I have to have all the data on one sheet I can change that as this sheet isn't in production yet.
On Sheet1 cell D6 needs to be able to get data from Sheet2 Cell C2 or Cell N2 or Cell Y2.
On Sheet1 cell F6 needs to be able to get data from Sheet2 Cell C3 or Cell N3 or Cell Y3.
While doing the above it this also needs to be accomplished.
On Sheet1 cell D9 needs to be able to get data from Sheet3 Cell C2 or Cell N2 or Cell Y2.
On Sheet1 cell F9 needs to be able to get data from Sheet3 Cell C3 or Cell N3 or Cell Y3.
Is Indirect able to do this or do I need to use something else? I am trying to do this without macros if possible.
I am trying to do a time analysis by placing an X in a square based on the hours an employee worked during a day. Time is in 24 hour clock time in 30 minute increments.
What I need to do is to populate the correct squares with an X based on the start and end times an employee worked each day. I have 20 different locations and will need to use the indirect function to point to the correct sheet and cell. For example I have store #5 and the time sheet for store number 5 is on the sheet and the information I need to return is in cells d4 and d5. Start time was 5.52 and ending time was 10.97.
Based on this information I would like the closest start and ending time on the spreadsheet below to show an X.
I am trying to develop an Indirect Indirect Validation drop down list. Example, Building - Floor - Room, i.e. Select Building from a Validation drop down list. Then based upon the Building selected, select only the Floors applicable to the Building Selected. I am able to achieve this via an Indirect Validation drop down. However, when I attempt to then select the Rooms applicable to the Floor of the Building I selected, I can not produce an Indirect Validation off a previous Indirect Validation.
In the attachment, I have used Plant - Location - Room. I have name ranged the selections, and have used Validations Lists for Plant, and Indirect Validations for Location. The error occurs where I attempt to do an Indirect Validation for Room.
=IF(AND(A1>=1,A11001,A1=10001,A1=25001,A1=1500001),(A1*0.333)+25000)))))
What is missing? (too many brackets at the end?) absolutely I've just mucked around with the formula given so have done something incorrect I think
A1 will contain Sales and I need to work out how much commission they'll get (ie, sales of between 25,000 & 150000 will get 50% plus $2500
I have a formula
{=IF(OR(D9=M4:S99),"m")}
For instance
This formula works
But when i click in the cell to edit the formula the {} (at the beginning and end) disapear and the formula no longer works.
If i add them back manually the formula still does not work.
How can i edit these formulas without stopping them working.
I have a long list of names with their locations in brackets. What formula should i use to delete the brackets and their contents only?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a value that is bracketed and I just want the number extracted to another cell.
I've shown three part lines of the data I need to extract from.
Cd56.5,(53.5),1:34.16,(36.22),
53.0,(53.0),1:36.32,(37.36),6/1,

The values I need are 53.5 from line one-53.0 from line two & 54.0 from line three.
As you can see they don't always sit in the same column.
I found a template at microsoftofficeonline.com it's just a bracket. I feel it has some underlying functionality, as they have a template in visio as well, but I can't figure it out.
So, what I'd like to do is have a workbook with say 100 worksheets. Each worksheet will have a person's bracket. Each person will write in all their picks. Their will be a master bracket where the actual winners will go, as the results are posted. When the master bracket is updated, Excel will flip through each worksheet, checking to see if the win in the master bracket matches the individual bracket. Points will be awarded or not.
Can that be done? I've also done a google search and can't get anymore help. I know that the web has multitudes of free versions, which I'd use, the only problem is that people would hesitate to register. doing it in excel, on the office system, there's no need to register, your cpu login takes care of authentication.
i have several large tables of numbers. For my purpose I have to compare each entry of the table with a certain value, no problem so far.
Now if the entry is lower than the certain value i want to have the table entry sorrounded by brackts e.g. 0.8 spould change to (0.8).
Usually i did this by right mouse -> format cell -> number -> user define -> "("0.0")" for each entry individually. Now im getting tired ;-)
Is it possible to implicate the formating of a value into an if function ?
I have a list of Surnames in Column D, e.g. ANDERSON, BROWN, COOPER, but for some reason, who ever input the data, decided to include the salutation after that Surname, in brackets, where it was available, e.g. ADAMS (Miss), BUTTON (Mr & Mrs), COX (Dr).
So I'm trtying to remove everything within the brackets (if there is anything) and place it in Column C. I will then Replace the brackets and Trim the contents in Column D. Here is what I want the code to do
My code works great on my computer but when I bring it to another computer it gives me errors. I think it has to do with my use of square brackets to reference cells. the error that comes up is
compile error:

What I'm doin here is going to my template sheet then getting the info from different cells and then later using it somewhere else. in place of using range and selecting cell I am using square brackets to select a cell. it worked fine on my computer and was a lot less writing, here is a small part of my code
I have a formula in a spreadsheet that must be entered by selecting Command (Apple) and Return. This puts parentheses around the entire formula. Example: {=A1+B1}
I have it in a SUM IF formula: {=SUM(IF('Dollars'!$A$2:$A$2546=A116,IF('Dollars'!$B$2:$B$2546=B116,'Dollars'!$E$2:$E$2546)))}
If it's not entered this way, it will not work. You cannot simply hit return for the formula to work.
Since I did this so long ago (4 years), I cannot remember what it's called; why it has to be done that way and how to do the same thing in Windows Excel.
I have this in cell F5
CM26 (85) CM16 (39) CM25 (12)
I need to add the numbers in brackets up and put the total in G5.
I often see square brackets around ranges in code. eg [A1]
if there are any advantages/disadvantages with using this notation, apart from the obvious its shorter?
I am currently using the following format to display numbers in my excel.
_(* #,###,###_);_(* (#,###,###);_(* "-"_);@
The brackets and underscores are used so that the positive and negative numbers align with overhanging brackets.
I want to modify the format such that it is able to display decimals where ever applicable.
For example
1,000 display as 1,000
0 display as a dash "-"
1.265 display as 1.265
-0.51 display as (0.51)
I tried changing it to:
_(* #,###,###.###_);_(* (#,###,###.###);_(* "-"_);@
However it added a "." to all positive and negative numbers regardless of whether there were decimals after it.
e.g.
10 displayed as 10.
-30 displayed as (30.)
In otherwords - I am trying to find the "general" format and modify it to include brackets for negative number, and also modify it so that the positive numbers aligning with the negative numbers with the ) over hanging.
I have the following information in a cell. I want to get the exchange:ticker which is inside the brackets to be returned (coma delimited). How can I do this? One thing to note here that the number of companies in the cell can vary

I have a spread sheet with 2000 fax numbers in the format:
(555) 123-1234
I am going through and reformatting them to read:
555123-1234 or 5551231234
Is there cell format code or some way to do this quickly rather than going through each cell and deleting the spaces and ()?
Is it possible to extract a number in brackets specifically from a cell, then increase it by 15%, and return the result back into the brackets.
For example the cell consists the following:
Mary (78)
so the aim is to get the 78 out for calculation, then change the content of the cell with the new result.
Or is there a macros that can be created for this?
I am importing into Excel a list of contacts from a txt file so I can make a mailing label database. I am able to seperate out the various parts of the address just fine but here's where it gets tricky.
Below is a example of the text I am importing:
Mr Dow Jones, 600 DIXON ROAD, TORONTO, ON M9W 1J1, CANADA (1-416-6757611)
I need Excel to look at the cell containing the country name and: 1st. see if there is a phone number present (this is the numbers between the () and if there is - place the phone number in Cell F1 and place the Country in Cell E1 but strip out both the () and the phone number. If there is no phone number present (and therefore no () I need Excel to go ahead and place the country name in E1
I tried to use the find and replace function to delete different numbers from different cells (all in one column) but the problem is that I want to delete different kind of numbers.
Let me give you an example:
Starting point:
Cell A1: Bookrunner: Barclays Capital(368.726m)
Cell A2: Bookrunner: DBS(368m)
Cell A3: Mandated Arranger: Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Singapore)(367.163m)
Cell A4: Mandated Arranger: DnB NOR ASA (Singapore)(367.163m)
I want to reach here:
Cell A1: Bookrunner: Barclays
Cell A2: Bookrunner: DBS
Cell A3: Mandated Arranger: Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Singapore)
Cell A4: Mandated Arranger: DnB NOR ASA (Singapore)
(I don’t want the information in “()” like “(Singapore)” to be deleted! Only the “()” which contains numbers)
I used the “find and replace” function to delete ever single number, but I think it’s a little unprofessional to do so!
I have a spreadsheet with 900 rows. All of the rows hold different information. The first column has contents such as this:
This is the text (please remove me)
This is some more text (I need to be removed too)
I want to remove from every cell, everything in the brackets - so everything from the first open brackets to the end of the cell contents). Every cell is a different length and the information within the brackets is different.
I'm trying to create an online order form using google forms. In my response spreadsheet I have an cell containing:
22" - Size 0 (£52.50),
24" - Size 2 (£60.00)
I desperately need to be able to extract the amounts within the brackets across to the next cell and in an ideal world add the amounts together. There could also be more than two sets of brackets, depending on the order being placed.
Is there a formula that can achieve this? All the ones I have tried will only extract from one set of brackets or will do both but then also include the string between the brackets too.
I have some data referring to % that comes in the format of 1.1% for a positive number and (1.1)% for a negative number
