Lookup File Referenced From Other Cell
Jan 2, 2008
I have a basic blank file which takes production volumes of a product as an input and breaks the figure down to give individual component usage as an output. It then uses this figure to tell the user the best configuration to hold stock.
This file is 'save as' each month as the month, year and filename (ie: 11.2007MPS.xls, 01.2008MPS.xls) and then the monthly production figures are entered.
Within this file there are 'comparison' worksheets, cells on this page look into the previous months file and tell the user where changes have occurred; showing the physical changes that should be made. This lookup is referenced to a cell that gives the previous month ('MPS INPUT'$D$13), this is filled in by the user.
At current I am using the Vlookup(Indirect formula:
=(VLOOKUP(B4,INDIRECT("'I:SCIPMPS["&'MPS INPUT'!$D$13&"MPSCOPY.xls]Row 2'!$A$2:$N$100"),5,FALSE))
Yet, this requires all the previous months’ files to be open which isn't really feasible in the long run. Solving this issue using custom 'add-ins' (as i believe have) is not feasible either since the file will be used by many users who are not amazingly I.T literate.

I have attached the file I am working on. I am attempting to create a link to an external file based on the value of cells in column A. Then I would like to simply copy the formula down, lets say in Column B, the rows and as I do the external file reference will change depending on the value within the cell in Column A. I hope that I am making sense.
I am using Windows Vista with Excel 2007. The files will all be within the same file folder, however, there are hundereds of files so I won't be able to open them all for the indirect to work.

I have 15 files in a folder and need vba code which would open every file from the specified folder and add that file name in the row starting cell "D1" in the "Master File". Below is the code which opens the file from the folder, but need the updated code which will add the opened file name. Also can u pls update this code to not open the "Master file" which is in the same folder when it loops..
VB:
Sub Login_summary()
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String
Dim Fnum As Long
[Code] ....

I am working on a spreadsheet that will be referencing approximately 20-30 separate workbooks which all have identical sheet / column structure and have a consistent file naming convention. ("###-YYYY") Since, this is referencing separate files and not sheets with this workbook, I cannot use INDIRECT. However, I should be able to use index / match referencing provide instructions for users to copy a set of cells down and the globally change the file name. The problem is that the file directory pops up with each instance and the user has to manually select or confirm the file.
There would be approximately 15 cells with a formula similar to this example and would want to change the two instances of "403" to a new 3-digit code, say "444". Then as each year cycles over, we'd want to change all instances of 2014 to 2015.
=INDEX('C:Users
lagraffDownloads[403-2014.xlsx]Forecast Budget'!$D$15:$D$48,MATCH($P$2,'C:Users
lagraffDownloads[403-2014.xlsx]Forecast Budget'!$B$15:$B$48,0))
Any settings in Excel, or known tricks, so the user won't have to continuously click on the file and the find/replaces executes at each instance?

I'm working on a sheet which references a sheet in another workbook. I want to refer to the other workbook simply by it's filename (Forecast.xls) but whenever I save and reopen Excel has replaced the filename with the full path (C:Documents and SettingskoconnorMy DocumentsAuto-sheet project[Forecast.xls])
This is quite inconvinient as I am eventually going to want to move both workbooks together to a different location. Is there a way to make Excel stop working out full file paths and just look for the filename in whichever folder the active sheet is sitting in?

In my sheet I do a vlookup for the value in column A in another worksheet. What I would like to do is depending on a value in column C the vlookup would look in a different worksheet. So if the value of "C1" were "AP" the vlookup would go to, for example, table1.xls/sheet1. Say down the line I wanted to change the value of "C1" or the value of column C in another row was "GNR" the vlookup formula would look to table2.xls/sheet1.

In cell A1 I have a number representing a column and in cell A2 I have a number representing a row. In A3 I wish to obtain the value from the cell referenced by these two numbers.
ie
A1 = 3
A2 = 4
A3 = value from cell C4 (column 3, row 4). How do I write a formula in A3 to look this value up?? I know about the range function in visual basic but I just want to be able to do this using a spreadsheet formula.

I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.

If C5 refers to the value in cell C100, C6 refers to the value in C110 ten rows below. C7 refers to C120, ten rows below that and so on. Is there a formula that you use within excel (not a macro) that allows me to copy the C7 formula to C8 so that C8 will reference C130?
I have tried using INDIRECT and OFFSET formulas but cannot do it without an absolute reference to a fixed cell, which defeats the purpose, since I can go into C8 and manually change it to =C130, C9 to =C140 etc.
Currently using Excel 2007 at work and Mac Pro at home. Thought about R1C1 reference, but don't even know how to change to that style on my Mac.

In my excel sheet I have a list of where they go, which are basically excel cells.. i.e. A1 is the top left corner.
What I am trying to figure out how to do is, is there a way that I can get excel to see "A1" and then put it in A1 of another sheet on the bottom. Thus I get the same grid I have on the wall, making a map of my things.
Also, I could just cut and paste, but the problem is I'm working on organizing the stuff on the wall, and if I do it the way I want to, when I move things, they should automatically be moved on the chart.
So basically I need it to look at a cell for the reference, choose text from another cell (which will be concaternated(sp) text), and then place it in the referenced cell in the chart sheet.

I have the following two formulas in a spreadsheet, which sum and count, respectively loan information within a certain date range. Both of these are working correctly.
My problem is in substituting the dates with cell references for dates located in a worksheet with a table of dates. The dates from this table work with simpler formulas, but I cannot get them to work here, regardless of how many () "", etc that I try....

I need to create a cell reference which will allow me to specify a cell in a table by value (using indirect) and pull the value from a cell immediately one row over for use in a formula. Say I have a table Containing column A and B; I want to reference the value of a cell in column A (e.g. "Large Widget") and receive (in the formula) the value in column B (e.g. "41 cm^2").

Warhammer Quick Reference Desktop.xlsx
Its on book 2.
I'm trying to reference the Cryptek total that I got in the previous area, and put that result into the grand total army point formula. When I reference the solution cell, or even copy and paste the very same equation into it, and then proceed to filter the referenced cells change...
The obvious solution that i thought would work is write =D45 next to Cryptek in the point value column, then if I filter it SHOULD maintain the information from D45 except it doesn't.

I want to display the contents of cell B5 in A7 by using cell C7 to show the location of the cell to be displayed. Cell C7 has a formula that shows the cell location of information (text) that needs to be displayed. How can I show in A7 the contents of cell reference shown in C7? In figure attached I show an example to better understand. Want in A7 to show the contents of B5 by reading what is in C7. So A7 cell should show word Road.

ATTACHMENT: Order Form.xlsx
I am creating an Order form for my job in Excel. On this form, it displays the Top 100 items for sale. All the basic functionality of the form is working fine, my real issue is with the order summary tab.
On this tab, I would like for any Items with a Quantity on the first Sheet to transfer to a summary on the Second sheet.
So far, I am able to get the data onto the second spreadsheet. My final question is, can make the items on the summary sheet go to the top available row? Basically if I have items in row 3, row 7 and row 9 - I would like for the items to automatically fill in rows 3,4,5 respectively. (on the second worksheet)
I have seen people make this happen (on this board even) but for some reason, when I try using those formulas I do not get the results I need. I have attached the file to this post.
On the Tab entitled "Adv Piano" this the product list. On that tab, customers can put a Quantity in column G for the items they want to order and that item's details, price, and quantity will automatically appear on the 2nd tab, "Order Details" in columns I - L in the corresponding row (this is already done)
I need the information in the columns I - L on the "Order Details" sheet to appear in columns C - G on the same sheet, in the same order but to fill in towards the top with the corresponding quantities, item details and price remaining in the same row.

Referenced cells returning zeros: can these be made blank or string data?
But why I still get the value 0 instead of blank cell when I press ctrl+shift+enter?
My formula = IF(U15="Bank", PROPER(E15),"")

Trying to get a problem solved to have a % discount & 'flat' $ discount apply to cell(s) referenced. Product A, B & C are available in 3 different materials. Objective is to allow each material's Max Discount column to apply discount(s) referenced in cell J3 & K3, but only in the order of applying the percentage discount BEFORE the 'flat' $ discount.
Formula in cell C3 works IF the cell "Range to apply discount" I3 = "B3". Works just fine if I allow only one cell to be displayed in I3, but ideally, I'd want this to allow the said discount(s) in cell J3 & K3 to apply to any cells mentioned (for instance, for Product A Material 1, Product B Material 2).
I had tried a drop-down menu using Data Validation, which in my actual project allows me to select ONE cell at a time (out of my list of options), which is okay, but it would be extra useful to have a checkbox option to select which ones to apply the same discount to, instead of creating a massive embedded IF function to have each product in each material find whether it's cell is referenced in 20 different places (if I just copy the already functioning single cell reference tool).
The scale in which I'd like to use this in would be to apply specific discounts for one product, but a different discount for another product or material, and allow the input cell I3 to include a checkbox drop-down option (like the filter/sort), but not remove the data in the table (Range A2:G5 in this example), so I can hide any unnecessary columns and print, showing certain products & materials having a 10% discount, while others having a 20% discount, with an additional $5 off, etc.

I am looking at developing a table that has three possible options for different categories, being Yes, No and N/A. A yes score a certain percentage depending on what column it is, and the use of N/A changes the percentage of other scores. (i.e. A yes in column 5.1 = a score of 5, a yes in 5.2 = 5, a yes in 5.3 = 10 and a yes in 5.4 = 15. However if 5.4 is N/A then this amount is diveded amongst the remaining 3, i.e. 5.1 = 10, etc.)

I have tried numerous versions of macros I found. Most get the same error of; Range object error or script error.
Here is the formula: VLOOKUP(C$13,VESSELS_DATA,ROW(30:30)-12)
What I would like to do:
1) double click to on the cell with the formula
2) goto the worksheet "DATA_TABLES" that contains the Named Range "VESSELS_DATA"
3) go down the rows until the c13 is matched
4) offset column the same as in the above formula "Row(30:30)-12"

I am working on a spreadsheet for work, and have managed to do everything I need to so far but I need to colour specific letter strings, certain colours within a range of cells (each letter string will only appear once on each sheet)
The strings I will be looking for vary depending on data entered so I will need to cell reference them
The strings that need colouring are in cells with other strings that must stay black (They cannot be separated from other strings due to the nature of the grid)
I need some strings red, some green, and some blue.
These changes should also apply to the whole workbook not just one sheet.
Is there a way to do this with the VBA code.

I have alot of project folders on my harddrive.
All in format: I:/12345-costumer-projectname/
The five digits are unique for each project.
I make calculations for these projects using an excel file. In this excel I also type the projectnumber (cell J2)
Now i would like to make a button. When pressed, it checks the projectnumber cell J2, looksup the corresponding folder and saves the excelfile in PDF format in this folder.
I have found macro to find files in folders, but none which do the above.

I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.

I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age
-------------------
Dog - Rover - 3
Goldfish - Tom - 1
Gerbil - Chewit - 4

I don't think Vlookup will work in this case , maybe i am wrong. What formula can i use ?
File A :
Formula in Column E10
It must look at Colum F10 and then look at Column E ( File B, another file ) and return what in Column B on the same row.
So basically my formula looks at the column, goes to another file and finds what I am looking for and returns whats in Column B.
Basically I want my formula to look at the employee number and return back what his Surname in another file.

I have a spreadsheet that my field workers use to collect data.(See 'Capture Form'). On the main worksheet they use drop-down lists to enter the data. These lists are drawn from named ranges on other worksheets. In the column next to these ranges are the respective ID numbers.
I want to set up a worksheet ('Export') that mirrors the capture worksheet 'Capture Form' but only includes the ID numbers so that I can import into my Access db. I'm sure it's probably just a simple worksheet function but I don't know how to do this.
