I am writing a formula in cell "B1" in "December 2007 REVISED BY DAN.xlsm" that will reference cell "X1" in a workbook that has not been created yet.
The way I will tell the formula what the name of the workbook will be is by referencing cell "A1" and adding the extension ".xlsx" to it.
Example: ...
I have tried using PULL from Harlan Grove's posts to workaround this but am coming up with #VALUE errors.
Here's what I have:
Column B contains the acct # being referenced e.g. 5230
Column E="_"&Br where r is the row #
Column F=MATCH($B$3,INDIRECT(Er&"Rows")) where _acct#Rows is a named
range referring to an external workbook e.g. _5230Rows
Columns G-R=INDEX(INDIRECT($Er),$Fr,COLUMN(G$6)) where_acct# is a named
range referencing an external workbook e.g. _5230
I thought that INDEX($Er, $Fr, COLUMN(G$6)) should work in Columns G-R however it returns #REF!
I need a solution to replace INDIRECT so I do not have to have both workbooks open together. The named ranges are static, but reference external workbooks.
Just wondering if there is a way to indirectly reference a workbook in a formula?
For example, suppose A1 has the path/filename of the workbook I want to reference.
So in another cell I want to do, say, a VLOOKUP(A2,A1,5), where A2 is the lookup value. This way, if I have multiple workbooks I want to look at, I can specify them all in various cells, and simply have the formula look at the right cell to perform the lookup.
I've played with INDIRECT and get something close if I do
=INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!A1:AJ1500")
but that just returns the contents of A1 in the target sheet.
how to go about or refer me to how exactly you assign a closed workbook to be active. I know this sounds off and its probably the wrong way to word it so here's my problem. I am developing a macro in Visual Basic 2005 using VB. I have a connection string that looks like this:
Private m_sConn4 As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:2005.xls;" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""
What I need to do is connect to it and update which I have done successfully, then save it as 2006.xls. Is there some sort of m_sConn4.SaveAs or something of that nature.
i'm trying to do a COUNTIF from an open workbook. The range I want for it is in another workbook, which I do not want to have open every time I run the macro.
This is my current
Sub cellLink()
Sheets("Calls In-Out Trend").Range("ag18").Formula = _
"=COUNTIF('C:***[*.xls]sheet name'I:I, QXO)"
End Sub
editthe range is just so I can see if it's giving the right values, the range won't be like that once I get it working. I'll probably be using logic statements to place them in the appropriate cells. The * is just me taking out the directory names, its on the desktop)
It can copy cell values from another unopened workbook, but when I try to put in COUNTIF it doesn't want to compile/run the script.
That's basically the question. Here's some background and my aim:
I'm scanning row I:I for certain keywords which I then count up and put into corresponding columns of a chart.
Following syntax is incorrect, what is wrong? This should happen: Select op a specific worksheet (named DATA) in the workbook Report.xls and I empty the contents
Then I try with a 'With' statement to read the contents of a file named "sourcedata.xls' with helds a worksheet named "source". The values in this sheet should be tranfered to the sheet DATA in the workbook "Report.xls"
Sub FetchDataFromClosedWorkbook()
Dim FileName As String
Dim SheetName As String
Dim cellRange As String
Const ReportPath = "C:ExcelReports"
Windows("Report.xls").Activate
Sheets("DATA").Select
Cells.Select....................
I have the following formula in my workbook:
=COUNTIF('\caltulfs1DATAProjectsF2014FB-979916 - EQUATE7.0 DOCUMENTATION7.01 DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS & RECORDS[FB-979916 DSI FORM.xlsm]Customer Tracking'!A12:A86,"past due")
When I open the master file I want my links to automatically update and open the referenced files without having to open the source document for each value. Can this be done
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B$2;INDIRECT("'G:2007Projekt opfølgning[OMKLIST.xls]kreditor!'"&J24&":"&L24);2;FALSE));"0";VLOOKUP($B$2;INDIRECT("'G:2007Projekt opfølgning[OMKLIST.xls]kreditor!'"&J24&":"&L24);2;FALSE))
It is the part regarding til indirect that gives me problems
This form I can get it to work
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B$2;INDIRECT("[OMKLIST.xls]kreditor!"&J25&":"&L25);2;FALSE));"0";VLOOKUP($B$2;INDIRECT("[OMKLIST.xls]kreditor!"&J25&":"&L25);2;FALSE))
But here I need the Omklist.xls to be open. And that I dont want.
The what i want is that the user can use the sheet with out oping the data sheet..
Is there code that will take certain data from one Excel sheet to another named file in a different place on the network? Example Copy cell aa47 from "Recent Faxes.xls" that sits in "correspondence" folder. Then paste into cell B25 "Current Documentation.xls" in the "Sales Contacts" folder

=1*(FY2012_TY), where FY2012_TY
is a Defined Name which refers to a column on another tab in the workbook, and is defined as:
=OFFSET(Table!$AA$3,0,0,COUNT(Table!$AA:$AA),1)
What I would like to do is to come up with an approach to this formula that would allow me to drag it across columns and have the year automatically increment (e.g., FY2013_TY, FY2014_TY, all of which are similarly defined Defined Names referring to adjacent columns). I have tried various approaches using INDIRECT along with CONCATENATE, but when it comes down to evaluating the formula, I consistently get a #REF! error.
I have an income statement with the cities on top (column header) and the expenses below it. There are 5 cities for example. The last line is net profit before it changes to the next city.
New York (column header)
Wages
Lights
Net Profit
Boston
Lights
Wages
Sales
Net Profit
How do you get the row reference for Boston Net Profit without using the offset or indirect function? (doing external linking with workbook closed) The formula would find Boston first and then look for the first net profit after Boston? The small if function may work for this.
Is there anyway to add text to an INDIRECT reference so that it will now reference a new range?
For instance, this is my formula...
=IF(INDEX(INDIRECT("A1+TM"),MATCH(B2,INDIRECT(A1),0),1)="","-",INDEX(INDIRECT("A1+TM"),MATCH(B2,INDIRECT(A1),0),1))
I am trying to say, if the cell 1 column to the left of the cell that matches the text in B2, in the cell range referenced in A1 (CWS) "added to the text "TM", is blank, then write "-", otherwise return the number in the cell 1 column to the left of the cell that matches the text in B2, in the cell range referenced in A1 (CWS)+"TM".
Cell A1 is a data validation list that refers to different ranges. The only difference between those named ranges and the named range I want to reference is the text "TM" comes at the end.
I have the following formula which i'm using to indirectly reference a worksheet. The worksheet i'm referencing includes named ranges that i'd like to call on but i can't get the syntax right.
Code:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(INDIRECT("'"&HH_Elec_Title&"'!B15:B19")>=D5),--(INDIRECT("'"&HH_Elec_Title&"'!B15:B19")
I am trying to use the sumif and indirect function together but I keep getting an error and I'm not sure why.
Actual formula:
=SUMIF('SWG OR'!B:B,A168,'SWG OR'!E:E)
Using the sumif/indirect function, I have the following:
> Cell B5 contains the name of the tab "SWG OR"
=sumif(indirect(B5&"!B:B",A168,B5&"!E:E"))
I'm having difficulty referencing named ranges indirectly in a VLOOKUP formula (Excel 2003).
Cell A1 contains a fuel cost.
Cell A2 contains a formula that returns a RangeName.
In Cell A3, I want to enter a VLOOKUP formula that uses the range returned as the result in Cell A2 as the Table_array. In other words: =VLOOKUP($A$1,$A$2,2,FALSE). The result is #NA!.
If I use =VLOOKUP($A$1,INDIRECT($A$2),2,FALSE), I get #REF!.
Among other things, I've also tried =VLOOKUP($A$1,TEXT($A$2,"@"),2,FALSE). No cigar.
I have a worksheet with a name that inckudes a hyphen, e.g. 1234-5678.
And I have the worksheet name in a cell, say, I!.
Using
=INDIRECT(I$1&"!YADDA")
I get a REF error because of the inclusion of the hyphen in the worksheet name.
How can I fix this without eliminating the hyphen?
I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.
I have this formula in excel 2007:
=COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"1";Blad1!X:X;"H")+COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"6";Blad1!X:X;"H").
Blad is Dutch for sheet, by the way.
In this formula, I want to let the ranges in Sheet1 be dependent of values in Sheet2. The formula itself is in Sheet2.
W must be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B12 and X to be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B9.
I tried this by using the INDIRECT formula, but the quotation marks of the search values are giving errors.
I need making a dynamic cell reference in an indirect formula, which looks at a different workbook.
The other workbook is called: ESF.xlsx
The sheet name in the other workbook is defined in Cell B2
The first cell i need to pull across is B115.
In cell B8, This is what i have so far:
=INDIRECT("[ESF.xlsx]"&B2&"!"&"B115")
How do i make it so that i can copy this formula quickly, but so only the row and column reference change?
Like in C8 i would want it to look at cell C115, In C9, id want it to look at C116 etc.
I have been using the following formula to do conditional summing over multiple worksheets:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$AB$2:$AB$13&"'!b3:b39"),$B16,INDIRECT("'"&$AB$2:$AB$13&"'!c3:c39")))
The formula works fine, but when I drag it to the next column c3:c39 stays the same. How do I get that reference to change when I drag the formula over multiple columns.
How would I used the indirect function to reference a named range in the workbook in formula creation.
For instance, if in cell A1 I have entered the text "Sales" which is also a named range in the workbook. Then in cell A2 I tried entering the following formula to sum based on the entry in cell A1 using the indirect funtion. For instance:
=sum(indirect(A1))
In this instance I was hoping this formula would then sum the amounts in the "Sales" named range. And, if I changed the text in cell A1 to "Cost" for instance (another named range in the workbook), it would sum the amounts in the "Cost" named range. Allowing for a dynamic formula based on the entry in cell A1.
I'm using Excel 2007.
I want to create a formula of the form: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4,2,2,TRUE,($A9) and insert this in a cell BUT the $A9 reference needs to reference the row of the cell where the formula is being inserted which will vary. ie. A30, A31, etc. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCOPYING indirect formula. When I copy, the lookup reference does not change. My formula is =INDIRECT("'"&$A247&"'!j106"). When I copy horizontally across cells, I want J106 to increase, ie j107, j108 etc. At the moment it remains at J106 and i have to manually increase the numbers by 1.

Basically I have an equation:
=SUMPRODUCT(G9:G11,H9:H11)/SUM(G9:G11)
It's just a simple percentage calculator for my purposes and works fine as is. However, I want to make it dynamic whereby from a user input the length of the array will increase or decrease, e.g. G9-G11 will become G9-G12 if there are four rows occupied with data. For all my other SUMming equations I have solved this and even came up with what I think is a perfectly valid solution for this one. The one problem is that it doesn't work when combined into a single equation.
My solution for the upper part of the fraction is this:
"A1"=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("G9:G"&MIN(ROW(G9)+A8-1)),INDIRECT("H9:H"&MIN(ROW(H9)+A8-1)))
Where the user inputs the number of rows used in A8.
The solution for the lower part of the fraction is this:
"A2"=SUM(INDIRECT("G9:G"&ROW(G9)+A8-1))

I am using the formula below to sum across several worksheets, and the formula I am using works fine, but when I copy the formula across to other cells, I can't figure out how to have it update my cell range:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!A:A"),$B4,INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!G:G")))
The range A:A is ok to be static, but I need the G:G to be dynamic so when I drag it to the right it will change from G:G to H:H. I:I, etc.
Trying to use INDIRECT to sum the contents of a column on another worksheet upto a certain cell reference which is in another cell on the worksheet.
=SUM(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A4:Sheet1!"&B1))
I have taken it back to simply having sheet1 with numbers in A4 to A23, then sheet2 with A23 in cell B1, and the formula above it C9, but I keep getting #REF!.
The formula works fine if on sheet1 without the worksheet names in it. Formula evaluation gets to =SUM(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A4:Sheet1!A23")) then gives =SUM(#REF!)
I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook.

I have an open workbook (A) and this is where the code should reside. I want to use VBA to copy the content of an entire worksheet from a closed workbook (B) to an existing worksheet in workbook A. How would you accomplish this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.
However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:

I've been trying for a while not to reference a range of cells in closed workbooks to create an ongoing automatic log.
I've attached a test log with the details required and the cells are staggered, I have been using the formula;
='NETWORKPATHFOLDER[121113 12.42.xls]Enquiry Form'!$G$1
then the cells are (SAME PATH) J1, A5, A7, A9, A11, A13, A15, A17, A19, A21, A31, B31, E31, J31
and the attached test will placed then in that order under their respective headers.
So, all in all, is there a VBA code where it can run it from closed workbooks in the order above?
