Inserting Columns Without Changing Formulas?

Feb 7, 2014

I have a very simple inventory spreadsheet that I used to keep track of certain products. The issue is that I often have to insert new columns and when I do, the formulas get convoluted. Is there a trick to making them follow the structure of the formula before?

My formula is =SUM(GT4:GU4) and appears in the Running Total column. When I insert two columns - a white column where an order will be inserted, as well as a running total column. When I perform the insert, the formula for the inserted columns, as well as the set of columns immediately to the right require corrections:

Inserted columns: =SUM(GT4:GW4) [Should be GV4:GW4]
Columns to the right: =SUM(GV4:GY4) [Should be GX4:GY4]

I know how to manipulate the formulas correctly, I would like to keep a clean file for my predecessor.

Prevent Excel From Adjusting Formulas When Inserting New Columns Of Raw Data

Nov 12, 2013

I have a sheet with 2 tabs. On the first tab is my data and the 2nd tab is the formula.

This is my formula;

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)))

When I insert a new column at 'A' the formula changes (as below)

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)))

How do i stop the reference changing from 'Data!$A:$AD' to 'Data!$B:$AE' when inserting the column?

Inserting Row Without Changing Reference Cell On Another Sheet

Jul 3, 2014

I am trying to create a formula that references information on two different sheets, but i want it to show me the values that are newly created when a new row is inserted. The two current sheets are Master and Data.

I have a formula on Master that reads ='Data'!$K$3 to reference the value on Sheet data in cell K3. When a new row is inserted showing me the current readings, I want the Master sheet to show me the NEW value in cell K3 on the data sheet. The problem is, the insert of a row moves the formula on the Master sheet to now be ='Data'!$K$4. How can i STOP the insertion of a row from changing the formula so i continue to see the value i need?

Changing Cell Reference In A Formula When Inserting A Row

I have a function Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW1) in row 1 and dragged down 129 rows so the last reads Sum('1st Qtr:4th Qty'!AW129). If I insert a row the cell reference does not increment automatically below the insert location. How do I get it to do so. The insertion occurs when I run a macro.

Inserting Rows While Copying Formulas

Jun 18, 2008

I have a spread sheet that I have locked with the expection of certain cells. I also have left the ability to insert and delete rows. The cells that are locked have functions in them run in sequance.

Is there a way that when the new row is inserted its copies the formula from the row above automatically but also adjust for the new row and adjusts the rows below it automatically?

For example if I insert a new row between rows 2 and 3 below.
(orginal layout)
a1 (unlocked) b1 (locked)(function is =sum(a1:b1)
a2 (unlocked) b2 (locked)(function is =sum(a2:b2)
a3 (unlocked) b3 (locked)(function is =sum(a3:b3)
a4 (unlocked) b4 (locked)(function is =sum(a4:b4)

(layout after inserting row)
a1 (unlocked) b1 (locked)(function is =sum(a1:b1)
a2 (unlocked) b2 (locked)(function is =sum(a2:b2)
a3 (unlocked) b3 (unlocked) *inserted row*
a4 (unlocked) b4 (locked)(function is =sum(a4:b4)
a5 (unlocked) b5 (locked)(function is =sum(a5:b5)


this is what i want the end product to be.
(layout if formulas are copied and adjusted after inserting row)
a1 (unlocked) b1 (locked)(function is =sum(a1:b1)
a2 (unlocked) b2 (locked)(function is =sum(a2:b2)
a3 (unlocked) b3 (locked)(function is =sum(a3:b3) *inserted row*
a4 (unlocked) b4 (locked)(function is =sum(a4:b4)
a5 (unlocked) b5 (locked)(function is =sum(a5:b5)

Inserting Named Ranges Into Formulas

Apr 18, 2006

I am wanting to build a macro to calculate the average of a range of cells. I have about 2000 lines of data, and I want to average the first 12 cells (then paste the answer somewhere else), then average the next 12 cells, and so on. Using a loop to do this is simple enough. My problem is that I can't insert variables into the average formula as the cells to be averaged

Sub AutoAverage()
For x = 0 To 20
For y = 0 To 171
FirstRowRef = Workbooks("NP FT01-03 010206.xls"). Sheets("NP - FT01") _
.Range("a5").Offset(12 * y, 12 * x)
LastRowRef = Workbooks("NP FT01-03 010206.xls").Sheets("NP - FT01") _
.Range("a16").Offset(12 * y, 12 * x)
Workbooks("Mega Spectrums.xls").Sheets("NP - FT01").Range("a5").Offset(y, x).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(FirstRowRef:LastRowRef)"
Next y
Next x
End Sub

Macro For Copying Formulas + Inserting Rows

Apr 25, 2009

I was tired of making my list smaller to upload it here, so I uploaded the complete thing on megaupload :P Here is the link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1W6PBADE

On the bottom of the list is a button; "Add New Anime". When you click on that you get a UserForm where you can enter; Title, Type, Total Episodes, D/L Eps and Watched Episodes. When you press ''Add Anime" the entered values are entered at the bottom of the list, underneath the corresponding list names on the top.

Now there are 4 list names left (Left, Status, Status 2, and Progress (%)) I still have to make a option to enter Status 2 as well in the UserForm.

Now the question:

In columns F (Left), H (Status) and I (Progress (%)) are formulas. How can I copy those formulas automatically when I add something new with the UserForm? And can it automatically insert a new row, since I have to move the buttons down with every new title.

Inserting Rows With Formulas And Formats Based On Cell Value

Jan 11, 2014

I am attempting to create a template to make time and dollar budgets for various projects easier to create (20 plus projects a year with varying number of employees).

I want to have a template in which you input the number of employees working in a cell (IE. 3 employees), and with that the table expands to have enough rows to have 3 employees data input. However, only insert the number required but not overriding "totals" row below. With the new inserted rows I would like to keep the same format and formula for the row it was based on.

Example :

week 1 hours
week 2 hours
total

Inserting Lines, Takes Neighboring Formats But Not Formulas

Nov 15, 2008

I have a spreadsheet that I have people fill in. A few columns have VLOOKUPS. I want to allow people to insert lines in this spreadsheet and have the formula automatically copy in the new line. It seems to already have that behavior for formatting and conditional formatting. Is there a way to also have that for formulas when inserting lines?

Name City Assigned Salesman
-----------------------------------------------------
john Mountain View (formula using VLOOKUP)
cindy Palo Alto (formula using VLOOKUP)
ronnie sunnyvale (formula using VLOOKUP)

Insert line between john & cindy. Formula doesn't copy.

I ask them to copy the formula but they often forget. If I can make it a little more robust,

Inserting / Deleting Rows And Cutting Cells Causing Corrupted Formulas

Dec 12, 2013

Whenever you insert / delete row or cut cells out in Mon/Tue sheets it's causing issues in the table in the Weekly view tab.

Is there any way to prevent it? I don't mind redoing whole spreadsheet, it was done ages ago in a very fast manner.

I gave you an idea by deleting a row range in Mon tab which causes #REF error.

Changing Multiple Formulas To =IF(,) At Once

Apr 26, 2006

I have a page of formulas, comprising of about 12 colums and 250 rows. Each row has a different formula (although there is a recurring pattern).

I will demonstrate what I'd like to do with a simple example:

Currenty, one formula is:

=E6/E15

I'd like to make it say this : =IF('Sheet1!'A1=1,E6/E15,0)

I can't Ctrl-H and replace, because each formula is different.

Is there any way to change an entire sheet of formulas at once (or a selection) to incorporate an IF statement? The formula itself that was originally there becomes part of the IF statement, so I think there may be a way.

Sorting Data Is Changing Formulas

Oct 11, 2006

I have a league table (attached) - that contains some formulas for updating various columns when scores are typed in. I have one piece of the puzzle left to do, and that is to have the table sorted by column 'O' (points column) in descending order. ie, the team with the highest points sits on top of the league.

The problem is, that whenever I sort the league table, the formulas attached to the 'Plyd' column (column H) get screwed up. This always happens and it doesn't matter if I do it through the use of a macro, or if I sort the league table manually by highlighting and then sorting. Always, the selection boxes in my 'COUNT' formulas seem to shift.

Copy Formulas With References Changing

Aug 28, 2007

I am trying to do a simple copy and paste of number of cells A42:H76 to another sheet (in the same workbook) and have all the references stay when pasting to the new sheet. Instead when I paste it I get #Ref and the cell formulas no longer point to the right cell (they are all off by the same number because I did not paste the cells on the same row/column on the new sheet). Also, they don't refer to the older sheet where I want them to refer to.

Save 10,000 Hours On Manually Changing Formulas

Sep 26, 2008

This formula returns the production for a certain month:
=+SUMIF(Line2!472:472,D5,Line2!18:18)

I am needing to change this formula to show sales forecast...

The formulas will be identical EXCEPT the 3rd part of the SUMIF will be 2 rows down.

So this one would be :=+SUMIF(Line2!472:472,D5,Line2!20:20)

How in the world can I take a formula, and change it for over 4704 entries?

I actually tried this:
=+SUMIF(Line2!472:472,D5,Line2!18+2:18+2)

of course will no prevail.

Copy Formulas In Cells Without Changing Reference Cell?

Jul 7, 2014

I'm preparing an accounting model for my office use. How to solve the copying of formula to all other cells.

The detail is here:

Sheet 1:
1) I've entered a number 1000 in L2

Sheet 2:
1) I've entered a values in columns D,E,F,G
2) Calculations :
at G2 : the formula is =D2*Sheet1!L2

The problem is when I Copy the formula in G2 through G3, G4, G5........... it changes to =D3*Sheet1!L3, =D4*ValidData!L4, =D5*ValidData!L5 and so on... but it should be =D3*Sheet1!L2, =D4*ValidData!L2, =D5*ValidData!L2, so that the L2 value shall be constant for calculations in all cells.

Copy/Pasting Formulas But Only Changing Certain Values In Formula

Feb 24, 2009

I'm trying to copy and paste this formula to multiple cells and am having difficulty doing so without everything in the formula changing.. SUMIF(Bankroll!Q14:Q6000,U143,Bankroll!Y14:Y6000)

I only want the U143 to change to U144, U145, etc. Yet when I copy and paste down the sheet it changes the Q14:Q6000 and the Y14:Y6000 values as well. I've been having to go through and paste the formula one line at a time and then manually change the U143 to the current U cell that I want it to represent in order to keep the rest of the values the same. Is there a faster way than this?

Dynamic SumIF Formulas That Reference Changing Codes

Dec 1, 2007

I have a list of codes from which I'm trying to extract all unique entries.

For example, col A has 001, 001, 002, 003, 003, 003, 004, ...

I'm trying to create a report template with formulas that reference col A and return a single unique entry for each code so that the new column has only 001, 002, 003, 004.

Essentially, the codes reference customers. A customer can have multiple purchases -- but I'm trying to create a report in which I can utilize SumIf formulas to Sum the purchases for each customer and represent those purchases on a single line per customer code.

The catch is that the purchases change monthly (i.e., next month the purchases may be 001, 002, 002, 002, 004) so my report template needs to have the flexibility to adapt without me rewriting the SumIf formulas and return SumIf results for only customers 001, 002, 004. Whereas in the prior month, the report returned SumIf results for customers 001, 002, 003, 004.

Excel 2007 :: Changing Huge Numbers Of Hyperlinks (formulas)

Feb 5, 2014

I've got a main workbook (excel 2007) with a main spreadsheet where i group all the information (text and values) about brands and models linked to 10 workbooks (brands) with several spreadsheets (one spreadsheet=one model).

On the main spreadsheet I've got 16 lines for each model which they have the follow formulas, wich are linked to other workbook / spreadsheet (Mar/Gato)

1)

IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;3;FALSE));"";VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;3;FALSE))

and will return text values


2)

IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$3:$CE$78;82;FALSE));"";VLOOKUP(V844;[Mar.xlsx]G!$A$3:$CE$78;82;FALSE))

And will return number values


3)

IF(M844<>"";HLOOKUP($V$3;[Mar.xlsx]Gato!$A$2:$CE$78;2;FALSE);"")

And will return number values. The return value (;2 goes from 2 to 16.

This process repeats to all the 10 workbooks e and 250 spreadsheets

4) Table Array of the model spreadsheet

With regard to formula 1) and 2)

The problem is that the table array (on the model spreadsheet) could have diferent dimensions (becouse the launch year of the model) like this:

A$3:$CE$78 (2009 - Launch year)
A$3:$BR$78 (2010 - Launch year)
A$3:$BE$78 (2011 - Launch year)
A$3:$AR$78 (2012 - Launch year)
A$3:$AE$78 (2013 - Launch year)

And the return column (value) for formula 1) is always ;3;

And the return column (value) for formula 2) are like this:

;82; (2009 - Launch year)
;69; (2010 - Launch year)
;56; (2011 - Launch year)
;43; (2012 - Launch year)
;30; (2013 - Launch year)
;17; (2014 - Launch year)

The difference between above values is 13, it corresponds 12 months and the total column (12+1)

For the formula 3) the table array its the same, the only difference is instead of starting A$3, starts in A$2

5) The update of the formulas 1) 2) 3) for 2014

I'm doing this manually... The formulas are updated like this,for 2013, I've got table array A$3:$AE$78 and the return value (;17, then for 2014 i will have a table array A$3:$AR$78 and the return value will be (;30, and so on

5) Change the network drive

For other reasons I've to change my files to another network drive, something like this:

Q:KPI2014Main File

6) Main Goal

I was thinking using Excel's regular Find and Replace feature to change:

- The network drive designation
- the table array area
- The return value

But I don't know if this process ( Find and Replace) is safe and clean. I'm doing this manually and I've got on the main worbook/sheet 4000 lines with 3 formulas its 12000 operations!I'm on the 350 line....!

The main goal is to update the all formulas (links) to "brand" workbooks and inside "model" spreadsheets automatically with a macro.
