I have links in one workbook to a series of other workbooks. Using Excel 2002. I am making selecting changes in the source workbooks and not automatically recalculating the workbook. I know what is changing and am just recalculting that by clicking on the cell and going to the end of the formula and pressing enter.
The problem is that when I go into the master workbook to which this data is linked, it seems unwilling to update the data - and it sounds like this may be because I didn't recalculate the entire workbook.
Is this in fact what happens? Any way around it. Recalculating the workbooks in which the source links are found would take lots of time and I'd rather avoid that.
I 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 feel like I am losing my mind here. I have a basic SUM calculating a bunch of cells. I have done the SUM from th autosum feature as well as, just typing it is (=SUM(B1:b16)), It totals up the cells correctly, but, when I change a value in one of the cells, the sum is not updating? I have never seen this happen...Does anyone know what could be causing this?
In my Excel 2007 I have downloaded an Add-in (Webiress data) which allows me to receive RTD of a particular security which I then use to plot a chart. In a day there are around 15,000 changes in prices of that particular security.
The problem is that the RTD misses many prices when the market is fast and also it frequently (around 20 times per day) stops updating and then I have to clear the cell where the RTD is updated and it returns to normal, updating the prices for few minutes and then stop again.
A friend of mine told me that I have to change one Registry in Excel to tell Excel to check for a RTD every 2 miliseconds. I found this suggestion a bit strange and I have no idea how to do it.
Has anyone ever come across a RTD issue like this?
I contacted the server provided (webiress) and they said there is no problem with the updating of RTD (real time data) and the problem should be on my side.
I update graphs/charts everyday. I've been looking at ways of updating a lot of charts in 1 action.....
What would the formula be to have the range of the chart (ie =Data!$BS$1188:$BS$1201) to get the row numbers, not the row, from numbers entered elsewhere on a data sheet (ie =Data!$BS$1188:$BS$1201)
As a lot of the time I use the same number range but on different rows and sheets.
if it would be possible to update all the links in a workbook at once. For example, say I have a worksheet which is linking to a file named something like 4-6-08 (1) and 4-6-08 (2) and so on with the number in brackets being from 1-21. Now say I have the same thing for 4-7 and 4-8 and 4-9. Now I want to change the links to point to 4-10,11,12,13 instead of 6,7,8, and 9. But still there are 21 copies of each sheet. Is there any way to change all the sources at once so all the 4-6's could become 4-10's and 4-7's to 4-11's?
I have made a series of of udf's and used them without a problem in my worksheet. One of the variables used by udf's, " commission " is a named range on the "vrs" sheet in my book. All was working fine, all the udfs updated whenever i changed the value of "commission" by directly entering a new value in the cell referenced by "commission" I then wrote sub to call an input box wich collected a value for commission and put it in the ranged cell. Since then, of the 4 columns of data that commission acts on only 3 now update automatically. The recalcitrant 4th column will only update if I select the cell, place the cursor anywhere in the formula and press enter.
I have written some code that populates a list box with data, and have allowed data to be deleted from the list box if a line of data is double-clicked, with the data below the deleted row being updated to remove the empty row, etc. All works fine except that, when I force the list box's 'selected' line to be the one below the last entry (as if you were selecting the next empty line with the mouse) and the code completes, you cannot click on the form and move it around, nor can you access any other of the form's controls, until you click inside the list box.
Apparently, forcing the line selection in the list box (to simulate someone clicking on a row in the list box) is what's causing the problem. I need to force the selection because the number of data lines in the list box is more than can be shown in the list box, therefore I need a method to automatically scroll the list box to show the next available line in the list box.
I have the folowing vba function that i use to check the existance of files but when the workbook is refreshed, the formula doesn't update. It's only updated when i double click it's cell.
Is there a way to disable updating to the screen but have a message displayed to the user while a macro is running? Something like a userform displayed on the screen or a message in the status bar. I vaguley remember you could "print" message to the status bar in LotusScript, wondering if there is something similar in Excel.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False "the macro is running, hang tight" ...macro code in here... Application.ScreenUpdating = True
I have a large spreadsheet and new data is added periodically.
I have several columns of data associated with a description & date.
The data associated with each description is unique to that day.
I want to archive the older desciption data after I add newer description data.
Column B = date of the data Column E = description (phrase)
How do I remove duplicate older rows of description data from my main spreadsheet (keep the newest descriptions rows) and save the older rows of data in a archive sheet?
My sheet has many columns from A to BU.
I have about 220,000 records with many duplicate Descriptions in column E. Each Description record has a date in the Date column B.
Records are sorted by: Description A to Z then by: Date Newest to Oldest.
Here is an example (not actual sheet):
I highlighted the duplicate Description records in these examples that I want to update and archive.
I want to delete the older Description records from my main sheet so that only the duplicate Description records with the newest date remains like the example below.
And the older duplicate records that are removed from the main sheet I would like to save to a new sheet so that I can save a history of the Description records.
I have a userform that displays data related to a given stock in textboxes and lets me manipulate other data with command buttons. it works fantastically, except the dynamic data on the sheet does not update dynamically in the textboxes.
i have a combo box from which i select a symbol, data is pulled from the sheet and populates the text boxes. that is accomplished with a sub. there are 800 symbols. i mention that because i can't just set the ControlSource to a specific cell. I tried several different ways of referring to the cell, using .Cells and vlookup but i mostly just got errors. then i tried to do it with code (heh) here's a sample:
I have hundreds of combobox's that provide a list of names (few thousand names).
I have it set up so a user can select anyone from the combobox for the line of data they are working on.
The problem is, if I add data to the list that is populated by the combo box, the combo box doesn't always update.
the combo box link to the data by named range (list on another sheet in same workbook), and the named range is automatically updated when an entry is added (so the range is correct), but the combo boxes still won't update all the time. The strange part is.
I have several Excel files saved on a network drive at work. We run cost studies and have numerous links mixed in with these files. My question is, when we change data in one sheet, it doesn't update the other sheet where we have it linked. When you click on the address for the link you get, (\fileshareN:Raetc...) If I remove the \fileshare and leave it as N: the links update. What am I doing wrong here? It automatically adds this \fileshare piece when I add the link. When I have removed it and close it, the extra information is added and I am back at square one.
I am using Microsoft Excel 2003. There are several charts in the worksheet and the ranges for the series in the charts are defined by named ranges, e.g.:
Values: =FirstNamedRange
where FirstNamedRange is defined as Sheet1!A2:A100.
The values in FirstNamedRange are themselves calculated from other inputs. The problem is that when I recalculate the sheet, changing the values of FirstNamedRange, there are times when the chart does not change.
This happens sporadically. 9 times out of 10 both the values in the range and the chart change. At other times, the values in the range change and the chart doesn't reflect this. If I save the file, close and then reopen, (thus forcing the chart to recalculate?) then the chart looks correct.
I have a written the function below, but when ever I use it, and for example drag it across lots of cells, they all come up with the same value, and I have to manual click on each one and pres enter to get it to show the right value. I have tried searching but without much luck as I am not sure what I should be searching for. Using application.volatile doesn't.
Option Explicit Public Function FirstLinePickUp(inputrow As Variant) As Variant Dim n As Integer Dim testcell As Variant n = 0 testcell = "" Do Until testcell <> "" Or ActiveCell.Column - n <= 0 testcell = Cells(inputrow.row, ActiveCell.Column - n) n = n + 1 Loop
Why a formula would not automatically update? Possible problem is in relation to "<=" component of formulas'.
NOTE: This is not in relation to calculations option being set to 'Manual'.
This problem only effect two cells on my entire workbook and all other cells within the column affected, with the exact same formula, work fine.
The "<=" part of the formula is in relation to a drop down list with values from 1 to 12 and the formula works fine initially when flicking between the dropdown list numbers. But if I save the workbook on dropdown list number 2, the formula no longer works...
I have a file that tracks the number of days my employees take off each month. I want to be able to go back 6 months on a rolling basis to get the total number of days taken off.
I am trying to set my file up so that I can type in the month in cell R1 and have column S update for each employee with the total number of days he/she has taken off for the past six months. For example, if I type in OCT in R1, I would like to see S2 change to 6 and S3 change to 2.
I currently have a drop down list in sheet 1 and the list is being refrenced from sheet 2
Lets say the drop down list is for fruits and my current list in sheet 2 has 4 items Apple, Grape, Mango, Peach.
Now this is what I need :-
1 ) lets say a user wants to enter Orange (which is not in the list ) he can still do so by entering it manually into the cell.
2) Once Orange is entered which is not in the LIST in sheet 2 then that new name gets added to the LIST in sheet 2 so that next time that name appears in the drop down list automatically. eg Apple, Grape, Mango, Peach, Orange [ but Items should not get duplicated eg Apple, Grape, Apple, Mango, Peach, Apple
I have a long list of sedols and wish to download the last price for each on a limited range of dates (30 dates, hundreds of sedols). So I built my excel file to have the sedol running down a column and dates across the top, with the function:
the cells are not updating automatically, even when I hit refresh.. the only way is to go into each cell and hit enter (not practical!).
The next problem is that it adds something like ("cols=1;rows=2") to the end of the function and copies down further than I want.
Is it the case that the Bloomberg functions just can't handle having the dates across the top and security identifiers down the side - or is there some work around?
How can I update the formula of conditional formatting among many cells. "Applies to" lets me choose many cells but the actual formula locks into one cell (i.e. $A$1) but doesn't update across the other cells (i.e. A2, A3, A4).
I just started learning VBA and I can't figure out how to create a macro that will update my date range. I need it to automatically add the next date in the next blank cell so it would be like this:
1/1/13 1/2/13 1/3/13 1/4/13
Here is an outline of my work book: GANTT4-1.xlsm
Id like a date to be added if the maximum date in row 6 is exceeded by a date in column k.
I have a userform used to input data. I contains textboxes and comboboxes and a command button that is clicked on to record the data onto a worksheet.
What I am looking for is a combobox that is linked to a list of clients (column A of worksheet "Clients").
I would like the user to click on the combobox and select a client name. If the client is new then I would like the user to be able to type in the new name and, then have that name available in the "Clients" names that appear the next time the user clients on the combobox.
I have it almost working, but not quite.
I have a defined name on the "Clients" worksheet as follows:
