I have a database sheet with a ticket list which has various columns like business area, ticket number, location, status etc. I am creating a new sheet where i want to highlight only the tickets that are in pending status and I dont want all the columns from the main sheet but just a few. How can I link it so its automatic.
View 4 RepliesI'm using MS Excel 2003 Pro. I need to link data from one source worksheet to a target worksheet in the same workbook when only one variable changes in the source worksheet e.g.:
A. From source worksheet:
When the data under the "Expected Date" column is set (it normally is blank)
B. Populate target worksheet with:
1. Name
2.aaaa
3.bbbb
4.cccc
5.dddd
6. expected date (the actual date that is set from the source worksheet)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 6 tabs/worksheets. Each of the first four is a different product or quarter. Tab 5 is a consolidated data report that links data from individual tabs 1-4 in rows and columns for comparison purposes. Consider Tabs/Worksheets 1-4 to be quarters (ie. 1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q). What I want is for the Column Headers in Tab 5 (the consolidated data report) to be pulled from the NAME of the Tab/Worksheet it is pulling the data from. Not an individual cell, but the name of the worksheet itself so that others can change their worksheet labels and those changes are reflected in the consolidated report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is possible. But here it goes. Here is how my spreadsheet stands. I have a sheet called "Dates." When I input a date into a cell it creates a copy of a template and titles it with the date (eg 2009.02.15). What I then need is for some of the cells of this newly created sheet to be linked to cells in other sheets in the workbook. These other sheets serve as databases so to speak and will collect, tabulate and analyze the data from the various sheets created for each day in the Date column. I hope that is clear.
I thought that by creating this Dates sheet I would be able to link the cells in the database sheets to the new sheets that will be created. When I tried this, however, it did not work. The sheets I want to link will have the name of the text that will be entered into the Dates cells. For example. If I put 2009.02.15 in A2 I will want the corresponding cell in my database sheet to have the formula =2009.02.15!C12. Is it possible to make this link before there is text entered in A2 and before the new sheets even are created. I have not been able to do so yet.
I was tryin to think of another way and I came up with this. Here is the code I use to create the new sheets.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim wsNew As Worksheet
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
Sheets("experiment template").Select
Sheets("experiment template").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("experiment template (2)").Tab.ColorIndex = 5
Sheets("experiment template (2)").Select
Sheets("experiment template (2)").Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub
I was thinking it would be easy for this code to link the cells from the new sheet to the existing database. However, I then ran into a problem down the road. For each new sheet created (each new date entered) I want it to enter the values into the subsequent row in the database. Not keep on overwriting the same row. It seems as though there should be code for this but I am not sure how to do it.
A simple one for you, but again my Google skills seem lacking. This must be common practice but until one knows the key combination...
I have created a summary sheet with lots of formulas which analyse other sheets in a workbook. I want to copy this summary sheet to a seperate workbook to use as a template.
Of course, the copying process always links the new (template) sheet to the original workbook it was copied from. How does one copy without forging this link? All I want are the formulas copied across totally unchanged; I really *don't* want to manually edit 50 or so formulas!
I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.

I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.

You have two Workbooks open. Workbook 1 and Workbook 2.
You COPY all the data from Workbook 1 and PASTE the data as a 'Link' into Workbook 2.
You then save and close both Workbooks.
You then open Workbook 1 and edit the data. You save and close Workbook 1.
QUESTION
Will the linked data in Workbook 2 update automatically (i.e., without opening the file)?
I am trying to develop the best way to link two tables in two separate sheets in the same workbook in Excel. One table in the main sheet has a large amount of data in it, and the table in the second sheet collects selective date from the table in the main sheet. This makes it easier for the user to view the more important data from the main table. I developed IF functions which display the data from the main table into the new simplified table. The simplified table takes the data of each row from the main table in row order (row 1, row 2, row 3, etc.). Now the issue I am running against is that when I insert a new row within the main table, the second table does not see the newly inserted row.
Here is an example:
Say that both tables are sychronized upto row 40, and I decide to insert a new row with new data after row 25 in the main table. The simplified table will not see the new row because it is already past row 25, and the next row it will recognize from the main table will be row 41. Is there a way to have a VBA macro link the amount of rows in the two tables and have it so the simplified table will even display the data for the new rows in the main table?
A B C
1Timber$200A-rating
2Metal$500C-rating
3plastic$100B-rating
A1:A3 was input into combo box list. If I select an option in combo box, how can I make B11 and B12 to update data accordingly? (ie, if Metal was selected, B11 should show $500 and B12 should show C-rating)
So I have 2 spreadsheets of Car Inventory Data that I want to export into what will be printed out as Addendum Stickers...basically we're offering a new product with all vehicles and need to update the Sticker Price to reflect the change. The main worksheet with all of the data I'm trying to export is as follows:
Column A:
Stock Number
Example: (Column, Row A3) T12345
Column B:
Model Number
Example: (Column, Row B3) 1234A
Column C:
VIN Number
Example: (Column, Row C3) ABCDEFG12A3456789
Column D:
Retail Price
Example: (Column, Row D3) $20,100
Column E:
New Product Cost
Example: (Column, Row E3) $399
Column F:
Model Name
Example: (Column, Row G3) Camry
----
Now the price of the new product being added in is the same: $399. All data runs in rows (A3-E3, A4-E4, etc.). I AutoSum'ed each row and output the new calculated price into Column F next to each row of vehicles.

I want to take the Stock Number, Model Number, VIN Number, Retail Price, New Product Price and New Updated Total or Columns A-F and output them into multiple sheets:
Example:
Company Name (B1-C1)
I have yet another general design or best practice question regarding linking data between sheets in a workbook.
So the example scenario is we have 12 individual customer pages shown amounts invoiced and credited for the financial year.
I want to create an overall summary page.
Is it best to:
1. Use straight link eg. =Data!A1
2. Use Vlookup
3. Use Indirect with Address function
4. Use Database functions
I believe providing you have enough available memory that there isn't an issue with any of the above methods.
If you look at the attached picture, it is from a workbook.
The frame contains data depending on what tabstrip is chosen.
It is controlled with hiding rows in vba, how on earth do you get a frame like that which contains links to another worksheet?
I have created a form that pops up when I open a new template. In that form I have inserted a combo box that I want to be able to select data from a separate spreadsheet that is on our server. What code do I need to write to link this data to my combo box. Below is what I have written.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Add list entries to combobox. The value of each
'entry matches the corresponding ListIndex value
'in the combo box.
cbSiteAddress.AddItem ("P:AccountsBilling Schedule.xls'MASTER SCHEDULE'!A5:A103")
'Use drop-down list

'Combo box values are ListIndex values
cbSiteAddress.BoundColumn = 0
'Set combo box to first entry

I'm trying to link specific data from one workbook to another. So from the demo I've attahced, I need all of the 3rd row "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" to be linked to another workbook.
So normaly I could copy the row, go to the other workbook, "paste special" and link it to a column.
The only problem is the "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" data will not always be on the 3rd row.
So i assume I would need to automatically search for "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" and if it is found, copy the column over to the other workbook.
I have two cells on Sheet 1 - Cell A1 and Cell A2.
Cell A1 is the first cell that will receive either a number, or nothing. When it receives a number, the number will always contain five digits. (For example: '23456'.)
The contents of Cell A2 depend on the contents of Cell A1 - If Cell A1 contains a five digit number, then Cell A2 will display that same five-digit number with '-1' following it. (In our case: '23456-1'.) If Cell A1 contains no number, then Cell A2 will just be another ordinary cell allowing the user to enter whatever he/she desires.
The extension in Cell A2 should remain editable at all times - if the user wishes to change the '-1' to a '-2', for example, he/she should be able to do so without any error messages appearing. However, the user must not be able to change any of the first five digits in Cell A2 as long as Cell A1 contains data. A message should appear stating that changes to the first five digits should be performed in Cell A1 - which would then change Cell A2 accordingly.
Also, if the contents of Cell A1 are erased for any reason, Cell A2 should keep the five digit number, but lose whatever '-x' extension it contained.
Can this be done using Data Validation?
I have had much assistance with this complex (I think it's complex) macro in the past, however, there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out in order for it to be completely efficient. Any help would be really appreciated, and I'll do my best to explain what's going on at this point:
I have a worksheet called the 'Data Entry Page'. You will find it attached. Here are the requirements:
The PO Number cell will only allow ten digits with a dash, and will receive values such as 1200012345-1.
The Part Number cell will receive a value which will usually be six digits long with a dash, and will receive a value such as 654321-1.
The Identification Type cell will receive at least one of the following values, or two or more of the following values separated by '&' (Note the spaces between the digits):
I
I I
I I I
IV
IA
I IA
I I IA
IVA
or (some combination examples):
IA & I I I
I I & I I IA

I am creating a Payroll Database. It is nearly complete except for the federal and state withholding tax data. I want my db to look up the data which I have saved in an excel workbook. I need the lookup to be for marital status and # of exemptions. There are a total of two variables for each table. 1. How much the gross pay is (ex. between $175-185) and # of exemptions (ex. 3 exemptions).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?
In cells A1, A2, and A3 of Sheet1 I have data. This data is the result of some calculation else where in Sheet1. Nevertheless, I would like to link this data to Sheet2 in cells A1, A2, and A3. Now normally, you can't do this. But is their a way around this error message?

In the code below I am defining ranges in a sheet and then using an offset and a scrollbar linked to the offsets. Then I make a graph using the data so that I can use the scroll bars to move the linegraphy left or right to compare the data sets.
My problem comes when linking the values to the graph. I know I can do this by referring directly to the xls file, but as I have loads of different files I want to apply this to I would rather use an active workbook reference...however this does not seem to work. The current code referring to the sheets works but then I have to go into the graphs and change the source data to get them to operate off the scroll bars.

I am working with two spread sheets; one is my take-off/summary sheet which is where I populate all the data for the project I am working on, the second sheet is also a summary sheet but it has also other functions; hence, I need to have two spread sheets.
I need to link/reference the data I have on my take-off sheet row 119, column K through ACL (lots of columns) to my other sheet but it now needs to be referenced in a column direction. At first, I enter = (sign) in T9 (the sheet I need to bring the data in) and then I go to the take-off sheet select N119 and hit enter, this first data is good, but then I try to drag it down to populate all the data from the other sheet but even though I lock the row (N$119) and let N free the formula doesn't populate this: =!N$119, =!O$119, ='!P$119 and so on so for...all what it gives me is =!N$119 all the way down...
I have two excel sheets, one has partial information (displayName, title, company, streetAddress, city, state, postalCode, Pager, homephone, fax) the other has the missing information that I need on the first sheet.
Sheet 1 (DB1, has partial info) and Sheet 2 (DB2, has the missing info). I need to somehow link these two, and what they both have in common is name. DB1 has "displayName" which is just First Name Last Name (e.g. John Smith). DB2 has First Name and Last Name, but i'll concatenate that to a new column named "displayName" ( which I assume will be needed to link? ).
The missing information in DB1 is title / streetAddress / city / postal code. DB2 has "Location" (which is a company code, and I want to replace the code with the address, city, postal code) and "Group" (which is title).
To make it easier, I could just do a find and replace on DB2 (e.g. A01-DFW-HWY67) and do it that way right? Or is there any easier way to do that?
Other than that though, how would I link DB1 and DB2, using displayName and fill out DB1 with the information from DB2?
I am trying to link data from a pivot table we have in excel to a separate excel sheet.
The pivot table contains an up to date list of our inventory, however, we want to take that data and put it in a cleaner looking excel that we can e-mail to customers and publish on our website. Going individually, through every product takes too much time to have an up to date stock every day. Its even difficult to manage if we want to update just once a week.
When I link the cells of the pivot table to the new excel sheet they are constantly changing values as people are constantly editing the filters of the pivot table to look up various things.
