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,
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.
I have an amount of data split into various fields. I need to do something similar to the following:
In each row I have three fields separated by columns: name, sector and specialty. There is only one name and one sector for each record, but possibly several specialties (of which there are fifteen types in total, so they do not appear in a consistent column. specialty 'i' could appear in columns 3, 4, 5 through to 17. ie, sample entries below:
sheet 1 a1 name a2 sector a3 specialty i a4 specialty iv b2 name b2 sector b3 specialty ii b3 specialty iv b4 specialty x c3 name c4 sector c5 specialty i c6 specialty ii
The thing is, for every specialty in a row, I need new records created, so the above would become:
sheet 2 a1 name a2 sector a3 specialty i a1 name a2 sector a3 a4 specialty iv b2 name b2 sector b3 specialty ii b2 name b2 sector b3 specialty iv b2 name b2 sector b4 specialty x c3 name c4 sector c5 specialty i c3 name c4 sector c6 specialty ii
I need to create a spreadsheet that has approximately 1000 rows with the same exact information in each of them prefilled (as I use the "drag-down" method). I use this chart throughout the year to enter various bits of data in each row. I also use conditional formatting in each row. The company I work for wants to have an empty space between each row. " You can create the blank rows separately and then interleave them with the existing rows by sorting. To start, insert a new column to the left of the existing column A. Enter 1 in cell A1 and highlight column A all the way to the last row that contains data. From the Edit menu select Fill | Series and click on OK. Column A should now contain numbers from 1 to the total number of rows. Press Ctrl-C to copy these cells to the clipboard, click in the cell just below the last of them, and press Ctrl-V to paste. Now highlight the entire data area, including the new rows with just a number in column A. Select Sort from the Data menu and choose the No header row option in the resulting dialog box. Under Sort by select Column A, under Then by select column B, and click on OK. Finally, delete column A. You now have a blank row after every one of the original 1,000-odd rows."
This works great for the data that I copied (with the drag down method) to all the rows. However, this method does not insert an empty line in between all the conditional formatting I have throughout the spreadsheet. This is my conditional formatting formula I have "manage rules" which is under "conditional formatting" =NOT(ISBLANK($A6)) (*please take note that this is selected for 1000 rows.) Maybe there is some kind of change in the formula that I need in order for the conditional formatting method to be copied onto every 2nd line of the 1000 rows".
In cell b5 I have =today() which automatically updates the date on a daily basis. What I would like to happen is for each day there is a new line is automatically inserted with the date so:
Sat26/04/2008gone off sickFri25/04/2008Thu24/04/2008Wed23/04/2008Tue22/04/2008Mon21/04/2008Sun20/04/2008Sat19/04/2008Fri18/04/2008days holidayThu17/04/2008Wed16/04/2008Tue15/04/2008
I would also like any information on each of the line to move down when the new line is inserted. I am not really that good with macros or VBA but feel that is the only option to solving this problem. Also would everything still update even if the file wasn't opened for lets say the weekend. So it is constantly rolling.
I have a table with 15 columns and 10 rows (initially all cells are blank but with formulas and formatted) and I want a way to add automatically a new row in my table each time something is entered on first cell in each row. For example if I enter something in cell A1 (first cell in my table) then automatically add 11th row and if I delete the value in cell A1 it is ok to leave the 11th row there but if I I go on and enter a vlaue in A2 then add row 12th. Of course I want the new rows to have the same formats and formulas as the previous ones.
1. to leave a blank line inbwteen Shop A's Apples, Shop A's Pears etc
2. I also wanted to total up the price totals....(see example below).So if the last price was in E4, the total of all those prices above would show in F5 ....
One has around 129 lines for the first years 2006 in sheet1. The other links to the first 129 rows. Then I've linked the top 129 in sheet2 130 down for 2007 and so on for 5 years.
How would I add a line in Sheet1 then would insert 5 lines in sheet2 keeping the same order.
e.g
Sheet1 Name Rev Year John £120 2006 Row 5 Jack £150 2006 Row 6
Sheet2 (linked) Name Rev Year John £120 2006 Row 5 Jack £150 2006 Row 6 John £130 2007 Row 134 Jack £160 2007 Row 135 John £140 2008 Row 263 Jack £160 2008 Row 264 John £150 2009 Row 392 Jack £170 2009 Row 393 John £155 2010 Row 521 Jack £180 2010 Row 522
1. cuts+pastes all formulas and formats to another location. 2. cuts+pastes required formulas but not cell formats to another location.
The s/s is over 330,000 rows deep which makes manual changes impossible.
I attach small s/s containing both codes.
What I want to do is copy+paste formulas+formats from cells having a number in the cell below to cells 4 columns along and two rows down. The s/s illustrates this.
I have a spreadsheet with customised formats and formulas and the problem is that when add a new row I have to go through and manually copy all the data to the new row and as there are many columns in the spreadsheet this takes forever.
Is there anyway I could automatically copy all the formats/formulas when I insert a row?
PS: I do not want to copy any data into the cell only the formatting and formulas
I have a names in column A starting with row 7 as follows:
Walden, Douglas E Haden, Michael Wilson, Matt David
I need help with coming up with 3 formulas:
(1) That returns the First, Middle Initial, & Last Name in column P of the same row: Cell P7 Douglas E Walden Cell P8 Michael Haden Cell P9 Matt David Wilson
(2) That returns the First & Middle Initial in colum Q of the same row: Cell Q7 Douglas E Cell Q8 Michael Cell Q9 Matt D
However, I am so new at this, the simpler the formula the better because I want to try & understand it, not just learn it.
The problem: I am getting values when doing a pastespecial for formulas and formats.
Manually copying and doing a pastespecial with the mouse gives me the correct results. Below is code I got from the forum, "here", and am running in a test workbook.
Option Explicit Sub Test2()
' Dim rSource As Excel. Range Dim rDestination As Excel.Range Set rSource = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:C1") Set rDestination = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
1. In whatever cell is selected when the macro is run, enter a new row.
2. Copy the information from the row directly above the new row and paste (values, formulas, formats, etc) into the new row.
3. Return to column P in the new row, i.e if the new row is row 11, then return to P11, for row 12 return to P12, etc.
I have tried recording the macro but because it is hard coded to specific rows, its not working. I have attached a sample copy of the sheet (had to zip due to the size of the file).
In my spreadsheet, I have approx. 300 'blocks' of data, one for each 'vendor'. I am tracking 5 stats for each vendor for 12 months. Each 'block' has 5 formulas WITH conditional formatting (only one condition used) for each month, so each 'block' has 60 individual cells with conditional formatting. Excel throws an error when I try to copy the block of formulas and formats down the sheet a few hundred times. I have figured out it isn't the formulas that is the problem. It must be some kind of limit Excel 2003 has for how many cells in a workbook can have conditional formatting.
I have a very large table with 7000 rows and each time I open the file it takes excel about 1 minute to open it.Initially all cells in the rows are empty. Each row in the table has the same formats and formulas(eg. in J106 I have =IF(C106=1,1,"") and in J107 I have =IF(C107=1,1,"")).So the excel allocates all the memory and does the formatting and computations beforehand. How can I add new rows(preserving the formats and formulas of previous ones) dinammycally and automated? An example will be if I start enter data in a row add another row at the end of the table or a button that when I press it adds lets say 100 new rows in the table. Below is the table, the rows in the table to which I add data start form C15 to C7014.
I`m making a list of gas and electricity readings and want to show the difference between the last reading such as =h5-h4 and then the next to show =h6-h5 and so on. How do I copy this formula for subsequent rows or columns.
I have a spreadsheet that has formulas in cells C3 to C10 (cells C3 to C10 have =(sheetc), (cells C3 to C10) formulas. I want to be able to add a row somewhere in between those cells and have the that new row take on the same cell formula as the others...resulting in cells C3 to C11 now having formulas..
With a macro i want to delete some lines in sheet1. In sheet2 however i have formulas that point on sheet1 .. like this
=sheet1!A1 =sheet1!A2 =sheet1!A3
Now when i delete line 2, the result would look like this =sheet1!A1 #NV! =sheet1!A2
Is there a way to make these formulas pointing at the same cells after line two is deleted? And i do not mean a work around, with different formulas. I just want the Formulas in sheet2 to remain unchanged, regardless of what happens in sheet1...
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.
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)
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
I have a long list of inventory parts and there can be additions or deletions at any time. Currently the inventory is determined using formulas from other worksheets and this uses formulas. If I have a user insert a row to create a part in inventory, is there a way to make the formulas automatically be created in the cells within the row?
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.
I am brand new and I don't know a ton about macros and programming in Excel.
What I'm trying to do here in this attached spreadsheet is at the end of inputting my line, I want to hit the tab (marked in red to make it clear where) button in the cell and have it automatically create another blank line but keep the formulas the same.
Basically I just want to avoid having to right click and insert line and then drag the formulas column by column down which is difficult.

I'm basically trying to create a gradebook for a class in which there are five categories of assignments, and each category is worth 20% of the final grade. I need to be able to calculate subtotals for each of the five categories as well as a final grade for the course. I have set up my workbook so that a code appears next to each grade that is entered. That code corresponds to the category as follows:
p = participation o = organization s = selfwork g = OGT project e = final exam
So I need a formula that will sum the values of any cells that have a "p" in the cell to the left, or any cells that have an "o" in the cell to the left, etc. I thought an array formula would work but apparently not if my range is made up of noncontiguous cells.
Here's how things look right now:Screen Shot 2014-06-26 at 10.21.36 PM.png
So, for example, I need a formula that will find that Kylie has earned 10 points on the OGT project (the green category).
I have a block of numbers and I need any number which is 6 units greater or less than its neighbours in the same column to show up red or highlighted. I have attempted some conditional formatting using formulas, but I think the basics of how to use this function have escaped me.
I have a column that the user can populate the cell from a dropdown box. I need to autopopulate the neighboring cell based on the selection from the first cell dropdown pick. To be exactly precise...picking a '1' or '3' must populate a zero in currency format. Picking a '2' must NOT autopopulate but give the user an option to type in a dollar value.
