How can I use VBA to set up multiple ranges & or Columns in Workbook 1 (Sheet 1) Col A:C and have them linked to Sheet 1 Col D:F in another workbook 2 EG. I want to run a Macro that writes data in Workbook 1 and have it show up in the other workbook. regular Copy/Paste is not an option. The macro writes to varying columns weekly in Workbook 1. Can I also link irregular named ranges across workbooks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question about linking between Workbooks. I have 2 Workbooks and some cells have Formulas targeting each other, formulas like IF, VLOOKUP... Etc...
I have it that way because the users cannot access other user whole information, even though there is no need of real time sync there is a need to share some of the information between the users.
So.. some cells with the formula appear as #REF, I
I have a workbook which contains countifs and sumifs reading from about 10 different workbooks.
WHen I have the 10 files open, the values appear but when I close the 10 files, I get the 'VALUE' error. How I can keep the value amounts when the workbooks are closed?
I have all documents in the same folder?
I need to link to a different workbook but using cell values.
For example, in the attached file in cell B4 it looks like this:
='C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop[2508 Howell Jan-Apr 2008.xls]Week 9'!$D$20
I need a way to change Week 9 in the above formula using a validation list.
I would also like to know how to specify the above workbook referenced using a cell as well, for instance, C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop[2508 Howell Jan-Apr 2008.xls] would be the contents of a cell or the ability to click on a cell and have it bring up an open dialog box to browse to the file and input it's path into that cell.
I am trying to put together a small rota/hours manager. I would like each employee to have their own workbook file and update it everyday. Then I would like to have a master workbook which reads each workbook and returns the data inside the workbooks when opened or on the press of a button. I have looked at paste special and other linking ways, but couldnt quite get them to work. Is it possible for the master workbook to keep the data retrieved in date order and then perform a calculation for each row/employee to calculate that days wages. (rate of pay stored in Pay_Rate sheet.) Finally, if there is an easy solution would it matter if the employee spreasheets were password protected?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are two teams in my department, and each is assigned to maintain their respective work book and I'm looking to link them in order to save some time.
Team A - Responsible for receiving Invoices (Bills) and entering them in an excel spreadsheet when received and update when bill is paid. Only one tab in this workbook.
Row A - Name of company billing us
Row B - Invoice #
Row C - Invoice Amount
Row D - Once Bill is paid the check amount is entered here
Row E - Balance Due (Row C - Row D = Row E)
Team B - Is Responsible for maintaining a list of all checks issued. All of the checks issued to pay the bills received by Team A are entered here plus other checks to pay a variety of different stuff. On this workbook a new tab is created every month. One tab per month. Since we need to follow accounting rules and record the check NOT on the month it was paid, but on the month the service was provided. for example I might be paying a bill in the month of November for services that were provided in September, so I would need to enter this check in the September Tab.
Row A - Name of company check is paid to
Row B - Invoice #
Row C - Amount Requested to be paid
Row D - Reason for payment
Row E - Date of check issued
Row F - Amount paid
Row G - Check #
Here is what I want to do.
I want to link both of these workbooks so that when Team B fills out the information of the check issued this will automatically update the Workbook of Team A so that
the balance is zeroed out.
He is my challenge. Workbook of Team B has multiple tabs so I can't just do a simple Vlookup and also every month a new tab is created (very dynamic workbook).
TO add to this in Team B's worksheets have to be in alphabetical order, which means that rows are inserted everyday. for example if I paid yesterday to A and C, I enter company A in Row1 and Company C in row 2 but today I received invoice from Company B so in order for them to be alphabetically I would need to insert a row between Row1 and Row2. So if I had links to this workbook they wold not update when the new row is added.
How can I link 2 sheets in excel? If I have 2 different rows in 2 different sheets and want to calculate the difference between them (THE ROWS), i.e. On one sheet i have a number lets say 4 and on the other sheet I have 8. On one of the sheets (doesnt matter which one) I want to calculate the difference which in this case is 4. And automatically when I change one of the numbers the difference also changes automatically..
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file containing three sheets(1,2,3). And each sheet has 9 Columns (A,B,..,I). Now for the first sheet i have a functioning mask (userform) through which i can edit the columns live and add new rows.
Now i have a userform which is devided into three parts. The third and the last part is working fine which is linked to Sheet 1. Now i want the first part(on the top) of the form to be linked to Sheet 2 and the midpart to sheet 3.
In first and second part of the userform there is button (copy this to sheet 1 as new). This button should be coded in a way that if its clicked then the active entry (in sheet 2 or in Sheet 3) should be pasted at the end of the sheet 1 rows and the textboxes linked to sheet 1 should jump therer so that the new entry can be edited directrly in sheet 1.
The mask can be opened by the button in Sheet1 column A1! I am using 1280x1024 pixels for my grafikcard.
I am attaching two files. Excel file 2003 xls in zipped form and an image of the mask as jpg.
I need to hide columns in a spreadsheet without using the hide/unhide columns option. I found an article which suggested setting up a combobox from the forms toolbar, this is populated by an input range and linked to a cell for a numeric value. The article although using a macro to hide rows suggested this code
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
If ComboBox1.Value = "A" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("1:3").EntireRow.Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.Range("4:6").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = "B" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("1:3").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Range("4:6").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
I want to amend this code so that when the number in my linked cell changes the various columns are hidden.
For example if the cell link number = 1 hide columns e to az if the cell link number = 2 hide columns d and f to az etc.
I have had varying success with amending this code to entirecolumn.Hidden and changing the Combobox1. to dropdown1. but am unable to get it to work, I also stupidly deleted the code that was partially working and am now unable to remember what I'd done.
workbook1 column A has tag numbers, workbook2 column A also has tag numbers. I want to compare the 2 columns and if the tag number in book 1 is also in book 2 i want it to return 25B-F138-28-01 in column B workbook1.

The code will go through each line of data checking to see if it can find a match. If not, the cells will be highlighted yellow. It checks from both sides, first checks sheet 1 compared to sheet 2, then sheet 2 compared to sheet 1. That should encompass the variations between the 2 sheets.
I would like to have a macro or a function, which could compare two "A" columns in different workbooks. macro should run from the first one wb, which gonna have less data in a column than wb2. so, if, let's say, A3 in wb1 differs from A3 in wb2, an empty row should be added in wb1, and now we would jump and compare A4 in wb1 with A4 in wb2 and so on..

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several columns, some of which are for internal company use only.
Sometimes we need to send an updated list to business partners, but they don't need all columns.
Is it possible to make another workbook which takes only specific columns, and excludes the stray info at the bottom of the original workbook? See examples.
Alternatively: Would it be simpler to make an extra sheet in the original workbook, and somehow choose "Safe only this sheet to a new document" whenever someone requests the list?
I need to be able to extract particular named columns from multiple files and then populate them in a new excel workbook. Ideally, this would allow me to specify the file directory, the column of interest (based on standardized names), and then run the macro. If this could be done but I would need to have the excel workbooks open to extract the data, that's not a problem (not sure on this). In the multiple workbooks, the data of interest are all on worksheets that have the exact same name, and the column names in Row 1 of those worksheets are all consistently named the same.
Ideally, in the new workbook I need the Row1 column names to contain the source file name from which the data in each respective column came from (with what I'm needing to do all of the extracted data will be the same parameter, e.g., water quality pH values stored in columns from 20 excel files all in the same file directory). Attached are two examples of the many files I have in this format. The worksheet containing the data of interest is called "Station_Comprehensive_Cleaned". In this case, an example column to be extracted from the latter named worksheet in each example workbook and pasted into a new workbook (hopefully/ideally with the respective source workbook file name as the column name) is Column 34 called "Solids_Dissolved"
I have two workbooks, one is reference (W1), other is the one that needs update(W2). I need macro that compares reference column in W1 with targeting column in W2, then for match cells update two or more cells in same with new data from reference cells in W1, and for end to report what data in W1 in reference column wasnt find in W2. I tend to use macro in reference book W1, and to update book W2 without opening, so I need this macro to work just with file manager from excel . No need for user modul for targeting columns, they are static in both woorkbooks. In practise in W1 is invoice prices with part numbers, at other one is the same, but with prices for distribution (with formulas), I want ti automaticly refresh part numbers with new prices, an to have report what part numbers are not in price list (W2)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using two workbooks and looking to see if two columns match, then value in the cell should be the corresponding value of that cell.
For example:
I'm using
If(Match(A2,"name of other workbook",0, I want the value in column F of row 2, "not in raw data")
But it keeps saying too many arguments.
I have a set of workbooks, with multiple sheets within each which I receive each month from field units. The formats are identical.
What I want to do is to extract data from one column on one specific sheet within each workbook to a summary sheet on a new workbook. In the snapshot below, I would like to collect data from the "Actual" column (in yellow) and then paste it on a summary sheet.
Monthly reportingEntity 13. Risk reportingJanuaryMarket Risks - LoansJanuaryTargetActualVarNumber of competitors 110%Market share 1%1%0%Ranking in market 110%Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (number)1%1%0%Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (value)1%1%0%Market growth rate 1%1%0%Inflation rate 1%1%0%
This would appear in a new summary worksheet as below: (the cell labelled "Entity 1" would then appear as the column header in the summary sheet.)
Monthly reporting - summary sheet3.

The steps I imagine are:
1. Open all workbooks in a specified folder (folder name upon prompt)
2. Search each workbook for a sheet titled "Risk Reporting"
3. Copy the specified cell (for the column header) and the specified column into a new sheet in a new workbook
4. Move on to fill up the next column, and so on ...
Also is there a way to order the copying so that the columns always line up in a specified order? (e.g. Entity 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 ...). One way I guess is to fix the column headers in my summary sheet, and then fetch the data from the corresponding worksheet, by matching the names.
I have 2 reports with the same column headings. I want Excel to compare each one on the common OrderID and then just show me the ones that don't match--either one invoice can't be found on the other, or in the cases where they are found, the invoice amounts do not match (IOW create an exception report).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I'd like to import column A,E, H, and I in different 11 workbooks in MYdocument folder to one Master workbook.

Looping Through A Range - Use Result As Criteria In A Filter
I am sure this is a very simple questions. I am using the below code to work on the worksheets on a workbook called "MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls" so far the code that I am using is:
Sub Commandbutton2()
Dim iCol As Long
Dim Isheet As Long
Dim Item As Worksheet
Set MFBANK = Workbooks("MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls")
For Each Item In MFBANK.Worksheets
With Item. Range("A1:T65536")
For iCol = .Column + .Columns.Count - 1 To 1 Step -1
If IsEmpty(.Cells(65536, iCol)) And IsEmpty(.Cells(1, iCol)) Then
If .Cells(65536, iCol).End(xlUp).Row = 1 Then .Columns(iCol).Delete
End If
Next iCol
End With
Next Item
End Sub
I would like to extend the code so that it works on the worksheets of two workbooks at the same time the one being the "MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls" and the other being "MF CP EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls" .
this may or may not be easy for some of you but its driving me nuts. Here's what I need to do.
1.Create a new workbook
2.Cycle through multiple workbooks and all worksheets within each workbook (all in the same folder). All workbooks will have the same structure.
3.Take the worksheet names and put them in rows
4.Take the data from the first column (column A) from the first worksheet of the first workbook and put them across the top (i.e. transpose the data). The first column will be the same in all workbooks so it doesn't matter where I get it from.
5.Copy the data from column E from each worksheet and paste them in rows in the new workbook (again transpose) corresponding to each worksheet.
6. Perform simple mathematical calculations at the end of each row.
I expect to have approximately 26 workbooks with a total of 7000 worksheets. In the target workbook (i.e. the new one), I expect there to be 7000 rows (corresponding to the 7000 worksheets) and about 260 columns.
The only reason I need to transpose stuff is because Excel 2007 doesn't have 7000 columns.
Here's an example of what it would look like.
Example worksheet (Input)-
Worksheet ABC
Col A Col E
1/1/2004 $25
1/8/2004 $30
1/15/2004 $15
Imagine another worksheet called LMN with the same ColA but different values in Col E.
Output workbook
ColA Columns B Column C Column D
Sheet 1/1/2004 1/8/ 2004 1/15/2004
ABC $25 $30 $15
LMN $xxx $yyy $zzz
I have a column "g" with this conditional formatting:- =A2<>A3 Format Bottom Border.
However I will pass this workbook onto someone else who will fill in the text in column "g". They will use copy/paste text from other cells or columns even other workbooks that will not have the conditional formatting.
I have used Cells > Projection > Locked unchecked then used Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet and checked all. There does not seem to be a way to unlock the cell but protect Conditional formatting. Each time I copy and paste from other non formatted cells it wipes out my formatting.
The following code won't let me copy from the first workbook. I get a run time 1004 error stating "That command cannot be used on multiple selections".
I would rather not have to copy this by column for each of the 4 workbooks
