Indirect: Reflect The Data In The Active Sheet Or Give Me A #VALUE Error
I am running the formula =VALUE(RIGHT(CELL("filename"),15)) to read the tab name in a workbook with 90 sheets. When a new account is opened, the operator inserts a new sheet from a template (which contains the above formula), and labels the tab to the account number. The formula then 'reads' in the account number and performs look-ups based on it.
The problem is that the sheets are only working when the sheet is active. They all seem to reflect the data in the active sheet or give me a #VALUE error. Where am I going wrong? How do I fix the problem?

UDF #VALUE! Error On Non-Active Sheet
I have data that is laid out as follows: Date, amount1, amount2 and a value in $ There are many rows, and there will be more than one row for each date. see attached worksheet for an example. I want to create a table that will provide me totals of the amounts and the value for each date. I have managed to do this, using subtotals, but this gets quite slow, and in any case I want to be able to reference each of the subtotals with another sheet, so I tried to use pivot tables. I managed to do the above by using three pivot tables Date/Amount1 then Date/Amount2 and finally Date/Value, and hiding the extra two date columns. However my next table of data contains 10,000 rows and over 20 columns, so I am wondering if the above can be done within one pivot table. I know very little about pivot tables, and when I try to drop a second data item in, it always puts it below the first rather than in a separate column, and I get a table looking like the one in the attached worksheet. Am I doing something very basic, wrong? Is it possible to get a single pivot table, to look like my first summary chart in the attached worksheet. If I can do it with three columns, then I should be able to extend it to my much larger table of data.

Add Data Monthly And Then Have To Manually Update The "source Data" To Reflect The Added Data On Chart
I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.

Adjusting Charts To Reflect Data Properly
I've compiled data into a spreadsheet which indicates the number of homes sold over the course of 3 years (from 1/1/05 to now) along with their price per square foot, sale price, year built, bed/bath count, and other pertinent factors regarding each property. I've extrapolated graphs from these in the past which indicated the trends in each category over time (i.e.: Average quarterly price per square foot over time, and so forth). The data range I'm working with now, however, is from an area of my region so small, that the number of units sold over the past few years is sporadic. Whereas it's normally 100 to 1000 units that comprise my data, now it's only 15 units. This has created gaps in my line graphs where the price per square foot will dramatically drop down to zero over the periods in time where no sale was recorded. So the line graph ends up looking like a zig-zaggy range of peaks reflecting the price per square foot of a sale, and valleys representing "$0.00" for periods of time where nothing has sold. To have a Price per square foot of $0.00 is incorrect since in reality nothing was sold. I would like to be able to eliminate the portions of the graph that have the "$0.00" so that the line graph can "jump" from one sale to the next when the quarterly data indicates 0 units sold. I'd like to do this without having to eliminate those areas in my spreadsheets. Is there any "catch-all" tool that might do this or is that just crazy talk?

To Collect Data From A Darts Team And These Values Reflect
I am trying to collect data from a darts team and these values reflect the number of points won in a team game (ranging from 0 - 3). This will probably be simple for the experts here, so I'll let fly: I have a table with six names across the top. In the rows below there will always be two cells that have number values ranging from 0 - 3 while the rest will be blank. Those two numbers however, will always be the same. I am trying to write a formula that will determine which columns have values and return a single letter value (first initial) for each name. Since all the names are different that is not an issue...

RowSource To Reflect Data Added To Named Range
I have several ComboBoxes & ListBoxes on a Userform that populate by referring to Dynamic Named Range in the RowSource property. Also on the Userform is an area to edit/add/delete items in these named ranges. If I Add or Delete an item, the Named Range does not automatically resize--or at least the Menus don't "resize" accordingly--unless I unload the UserForm and load it back up. Is there a way to refresh these Comboboxes without reloading the UserForm?

Create Macro To Chart Data With Location As Object In Active Sheet
I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet. Sub ConsDiscChart() ActiveCell.Offset(29, 11).Range("A1").Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Selection.End(xlDown).Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:B1").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1:C24").Select Charts.Add ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Charts" With ActiveChart .HasTitle = False .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False End With End Sub

#VALUE Error In Indirect Formula
rate2008 rate2007 ... And I want to show this data in a table, where I have the years 2008, 2007, ... in cells A1:A10 and the formulas =INDIRECT("rate"&A1), =INDIRECT("rate"&A2), ... in cells B1:B10. For some reason, I am getting nothing but #VALUE! errors in my indirect formulas. In fact, even if I take out the indirect and just have ="rate"&A1, ="rate"&A2, etc., I still get the errors. It seems like the problem is with the & operator. This only seems to be a problem in this certain workbook; I am able to get the desired results if I open a new workbook.

Indirect Giving Me A REF Error When Closing Workbook
My indirect formula doesn't work when I have the entire path defined. I have the entire filepath specified (which will never change), and then I have cell A6 with the tab name of the worksheet on the workbook . Workbook 1 named 'Testme' contains the table with range a2:b5 Worbook 2 contains the formula I put this formula into workbook2 (the tab in the example is named hitab & I put that name in cell B6) Here is what I have:Does not work even when other workbook is open =VLOOKUP(B6,INDIRECT("'H:CUSTOMERSCurrentClientAMRO and General SuppliesBearings, Motors, PTsSavings Tracking[Testme.xls]"&A6&"'!a2:b5"),2,FALSE) This DOES work when workbook is open, but not when it is closed (which would seem logical if when the workbook is closed, the formula needs the exact path) =VLOOKUP(B5,INDIRECT("[Testme.xls]"&A6&"!$a$2:$b$5"),2,FALSE) I can hard code everything except the tab name. Why doesn't Indirect recognize an entire file path and also why does it give a REF error? - I did a search and found that some people said to use the add-in Indirect.exe. I followed the link and the page was no longer found.

Indirect Addressing To A Sheet
I want to do is copy data to my working sheet (say sheet-1) from other worksheetx (say sheet-2, sheet-3). That's easy enough, but I want to be able to indirectly address "sheet-2" or "sheet-3" from a cell in sheet-1. Look at the attachment. The data under cost A, cost B, cost C is from other sheets in the same workbook. I want to able to type in "sheet-2" in the first column and Excel to automatically copy over the data in columns 2,3,4. I do not want a VBA solution. I know this can be done with built-in Excel functions because I did it before. Unfortunately, I lost that spreadsheet and I can't recall how it was done. I tried using Indirect function, but it returns a ref# error.

INDIRECT And Sheet Name Starting With C01V
I am using the INDIRECT function to get data from sheets with different names, with the format INDIRECT(SheetName&"!$A$1"), with SheetName defined as the contents of a particular cell which contains the name of the sheet. This works fine with the exception of sheets which have names starting with C01V. Is there something special about these names? If I change the 0 to O or the C to A, B or D, there is no problem. Sheet names C0, C01 also don't have any issues.

Indirect Function: Use Cell For Sheet Name
Cell F4 contains a worksheet name which was “calculated” by an IF function (IF something, then ‘T2’, otherwise ‘T3’). Cell F5 must then look at either sheet T2 or sheet T3 (depending on what it is told to do by reference to cell F4 just above) and report what it finds in cell A1 there. Clearly I must use the INDIRECT function. But I have tried every imaginable combination of single and double quotation marks to produce the equivalent of =T2!A1 all to no avail. Is it something to do with letter and number combinations? Alternatively, how else should I achieve what I want? PS F4 could have been “calculated” by any other means, e.g. =MONTH(TODAY()).

Sheet Cell Reference And INDIRECT Formula
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.

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.

INDIRECT FUNCTION - Make Data Stay Permenantly
I have approx 500 workbooks which contain custoemr details and I need to extract certain info (postcode, name, contact, phone number etc) and place it all on 1 spreadsheet. I was originally going to source data from unopen workbooks, but have realized I only need to do this task once, and I can maintain it from then on... I have created a spreadsheet (attached) which uses INDIRECT formulas to retrieve the data. When I type in the file name in column A, Columns B to K fill themselves in. What I want to know is: Once I open say, 10 Workbooks, TYPE the name in manually and all the other cells have filled themselves, I want to somehow KEEP the data there, rather than it return a #REF error when I close the workbooks to open the next batch. Also, if you look at my workbook, to the far right is a range of data which I use in my INDIRECT formulas. Once I have filled all the cells with the relevant data, I want to be able to Filter my spreadsheet by Date Ascending. BUT I cant seem to do it because it includes my INDIRECT range in the filter and mess's up the formulas then I have tried Locking & protecting workbook, with Autofilter & select cells etc TICKED for users to use, but it still tells me to unlock workbook when I try to filter.

Data Validation INDIRECT & Relative References
I am setting up a spreadsheet for user data entry. I have one sheet set up as a template to enable users to copy the required data header cells to subsequent sheets and (the problem) - to different locations on the subsequent sheets. The template is using validated lists with the criteria drawn from the cell/list directly above the current list. For example, the cell in R11C2 is validated/refering to the range: =Campaign The cell directly below this is validated/ filtered by: =Indirect(R11C2). This works great in the template, or any subsequent sheet in which the cells are all located in the same row/column. However, when the template is pasted in a higher row, the Indirect refers to R11C2 rather than referencing the cell directly above.

Dynamic Named Ranges And Indirect Data Validation INCOMPATIBLE?
I can use a dynamic named range and a direct reference to the name and the DV works. I can use a standard named range (not dynamic) and an INDIRECT() reference to a cell with the name of the range in it and the DV works. But if I try to use a dynamic named range and an indirect reference to a cell with the name of the range in it, the DV fails. Any workarounds out there? This project includes a LOT of DV lists, getting them to self-maintain is important if I can do it.

I found this code that loops through charts on the activesheet and shows the names. However, I would much prefer not to have to specify the sheet or to loop through all the sheets trying to locate the one with the named chart.
