I'd like the "WildCard" to pull from a value in a cell whereby I can run a button macro that, when pushed, deletes the tab/worksheet named "WildCard". For instance, if I wanted to delete "Sheet3" I would type "Sheet3" into, say, cell C3 and then press the button to run the macro and "Sheet3" would be deleted. How to I refer the macro to cell C3? I currently have a macro that inserts/names a sheet based upon a cell reference and macro button. I'd like one that can delete in the same way.
I have a project that I'm going to attempt to handle, unfortunately I have no idea where to start. So any ideas or input to get me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!! I am new to macro programming in excel and have a very light background in programming.
What I have:
Right now I have a data file(Sheet1) that lists the data of various accounts. Each row is a different account and each column is data that pertains to the account. Ex. Row 1 will be account # 1, with things like name, account number, address, etc... in columns A B C and so on.
What I want to do:
I need to make forms for EACH account in another sheet (sheet2), and in that form i need to reference specific data from Sheet1. THe reason it needs to be referenced is beecause if we make changes to Sheet1, the form will also need to be updated. Also, I dont need all the data in sheet one for each account, I will be pulling out data from different columns, ie. only columns A, E, F, etc...
how to use VBA to write a formula in one sheet that refers to a fixed cell on the sheet to the right. The referenced sheet may have different names and it may be in a different order (i.e. not Sheet(2)) but it will always be one sheet to the right. I just want to have cell A1=(cell B2 one sheet to the right).
I have a UDF in Cell Sheet1!A1 that inputs some ranges from Sheet1 and calculates a number. Then I have a sub that calculates the value of this function with Evaluate(Sheet1!A1.formula). However, this only works when I am in Sheet1. Otherwise, I get the wrong calculation. How can I avoid this? I will post the code in the open source forum as it otherwise is quite good and automatically resizes array functions to their proper size.
Attached is a master metrics deck, where data needs to be refreshed every week, from two different workbooks.
The catch is, the two parent workbooks would be new versions every week (data would be same format, and style within), but file name would change each week, for eg: for 1st workbook, 'XXX_Weekly_Week24.xlsx' to 'XXX_Weekly_Week25.xlsx' and so on.
for 2nd workbook, 'YYY_Weekly_Week24.xlsx' to 'YYY_Weekly_Week25.xlsx' and so on.
In the master metrics deck, a consolidated vew of some of data from workbook 1 and workbook 2 is presented for each week.
This master file would remain same, and only be refreshed each week (preferably with a button on its sheet "REFRESH!!")
Next, need to manually change cells C2:G2 each week to reflect week titles correctly.
For e.g.: week6 would show week 1 through week 5, but during week7, it needs to show week 2 to week 6. Only last five weeks of data any given time.
The first datarows of each set are conditionally formatted (they are compared with other rows in the set and need to reflect danger values, good values etc) (I have done that already).
I'm trying to build a dynamic formula where a cell reference shifts one column over when a certain percentage changes. It's hard to explain, but the attached workbook should make it clear what I'm trying to accomplish.
I need a dynamic formula which if hard-coded would be something like =(tabname!A7). But instead of A, I want a calculated value such as ($C$2*12+1). My columns are numbered, so I want to say "the 26th column along", "the 37th along" etc, as C changes. I tried the index formula but couldn't get it to work, assuming it is even the right one.
Q: How can I point excel to the begining value cell if I know the ending value cell and the nubmer of cells to move to get there?
More details:
I have an investing sheet that I need to calculate the CAGR (compound annual growth rate). The formula is (ending value/begining value)^(1/number of years)-1
The number of years can vary but the ending value will aways be in the same cell. I am using a count to see how many years have been entered.
I have a sumproduct function that is aimed at a big block of data. Is there a way that I can write the function to where it will always find the last row of the data set and adjust accordingly?
For example if right now the range is A1:G2000 and next month I add 20 rows of data I want the sumproduct ranges to automatically adjust to A1:G2020.
Code: Dim Aname As String Aname = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("D2").Value & "Pricing" Workbooks.Add ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Aname & ".xls"
to create a new workbook. I need to copy 2 columns from the original workbook/worksheet to the one being created though. I can get the the original easy enough, but then getting back to the newly created book is proving difficult.
(the 2 columns being copied are filtered to what is needed and I have used the below to copy it, yes I know that is 3 rows but I couldnt get it to copy just E and G at the same time to the lastrow without including F)
Code: LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row With .Range("E2:G" & LastRow) .Select.copy End With
The original worksheet will have a sheet of data, but I want the user to be able to insert a row of data into this sheet and have the original values still referenced in the macro.
I do not believe the range function will work, because the relative cell positions are what are changing. Also, the offset command would not work, because the positions are not absolute to the active cell. Correct me if I am wrong...
Snippet of If Shape = "Freeform 30" Then 'AR Receiver = "kim.randy@companyX.com" End If I want it to point to something like =Receivers!C13
How would I do this without hardcoding the data above?
I have a question about dynamic cell references that I canīt find any info about anywhere else. This is what I want to do: I need to create a sentence that changes depending on user choices. Example:
Cell A1 = Sheet!AX Displayed text Dear Mr. "name"
Where the X is a number that will change depending on other things. I would love to do something like: =Sheet!A(E1). Where the value in E1 is for example 4. The result would then be =Sheet!A4 and if I changed the value in E1 the reference =Sheet!A(E1) would also change. I donīt know the syntax for doing this or if it is even possible.
I would like to be able to write a formula which references text within a cell and the formula automatically changes when the text changes. Example is attached.
Is it possible to write the formula so if I change "A" in A1 to "Z" the formula will change as well? Or the formula will at least always reference the text within the cell, not necessarily the text that exists at the formula's conception?
I'm trying to create a user defined function to drop into dblookup functions that will always reference the first cell in an associated column and the first cell in the row of an associated column.
I came up with the following, however the problem is that the udf always returns the values for the active cell's, row and columns.
Function SRCref2() Application.Volatile
myfield1 = ActiveCell.Column Dim1 = Columns(myfield1).Range("a1").Value SRCref2 = Dim1 End Function
I would nest these in a formula such as "=srcsum(srcref2(), srcref3())". Ideally I could then use this same funtion anywhere instead of having to use and worry about the accuracy of "=srcsum($a$2,$b$1)"."=srcsum($a$3,$b$1)"."=srcsum($a$4,$b$5)".etc.
It seems like there should be a current cell method or something but I can't find it and I'm not smart enough it seems to use vb to designate some kind of floating intersect as a base for a row and column reference.
I've found some code which works to print certain pages with value in cell A1 but I need to print dynamic ranges on some of the sheets as they will have filters on so the rows ranges will be different each time.
So far this is what I have but the dynamic range part is not working:
VB: Sub Print_All_Worksheets_With_Value_In_A1() Dim Sh As Worksheet Dim Arr() As String Dim N As Integer
Is it possible to copy a formula and have the worksheet name increase incrementally instead of the cell reference? Example: In column A, I have the following -
I want to copy this across to column B, but instead of just copying that exact foruma across I am wanting a formula that will update the worksheet reference to:
TDI_SR_F_2 is the worksheet after TDI_SR_F_1. NB - I cant use find and replace function as it will change the '1' which is part of the cell reference ($G$1) to a 2 as well. I know I can use TDI_SR_F_3 as a search string, but the process is going to be extremely tedious, i.e. there are literally over 100 rows I need to do the find and replace on.
I currently have a file that is linked to an external workbook that is referencing a certain cell from a certain tab. The below is what Column A & B look like right now. What I'm wanting to know is is there a way to have the formula in Column B automatically reference the name in Column A (which is the tab name in the external workbook) instead of having to manually change the formula when the value in Column A changes?
In other words, I want everything in the external reference formula to remain the same except have the person's name change dynamically...

i have 2 worksheets. one with portfolio stock data, and a second that i would like to use for dynamic charting. the chart worksheet has a drop down menu that chages a refernce cell to a number corresponding to the collumn in the portfolio worksheet for the chosen ticker
i would like to make a dynamic chart that updates the data ranges based on something like this: ....
I have a list of codes from which I'm trying to extract all unique entries.
For example, col A has 001, 001, 002, 003, 003, 003, 004, ...
I'm trying to create a report template with formulas that reference col A and return a single unique entry for each code so that the new column has only 001, 002, 003, 004.
Essentially, the codes reference customers. A customer can have multiple purchases -- but I'm trying to create a report in which I can utilize SumIf formulas to Sum the purchases for each customer and represent those purchases on a single line per customer code.
The catch is that the purchases change monthly (i.e., next month the purchases may be 001, 002, 002, 002, 004) so my report template needs to have the flexibility to adapt without me rewriting the SumIf formulas and return SumIf results for only customers 001, 002, 004. Whereas in the prior month, the report returned SumIf results for customers 001, 002, 003, 004.
I have a problem creating a circular reference with dynamic ranges. I have searched already but can't find the specifc problem. I have a spreadsheet where I use vba code to insert extra columns. Within the worksheet there are sum calculations at the end of each row. When I add a new column within the table I would like the sum calculation to expand to account for this extra column.
Now, I thought that dynamic ranges would be the way to go but the only way I can see to do it creates a circular reference as the CountA function trys to count the cell with the sum function in it.
I am trying to create a pivot table on a new sheet names as 4x4
I am getting following error:
Error : 1004 Reference Not Valid
I am not sure where is the problem. I have generated this code by using macro recorder and just changed the source and destination of the pivot generation code.
When I copy the tab and change some of the data within the cells, I want the macro refer to the chart on the current tab and the values in the current tab - as currently it refers to only "Chart 2" and the values in the tab 'Figure 2 - WE OPH'.
I've tried changing the sheet name to ActiveSheet.name but that doesn't seem to work.
Each of my data sets spans roughly 75 columns by 250 rows at present, but this could expand. The first 7 rows contain metadata. Columns 2-25 or so contain the raw data, from which everything to the right is calculated. The data sets have most columns in common, but not necessarily all.
In order to tease out the most meaningful information from my data, I frequently sort all or part of it based on varying criteria. When I find a useful sorting criterion, I create a new column with a header that describes the criterion and populate it with a formula that returns a 1 if the condition of interest is met for that row, or a 0 if it is not. For example, if I am doing this in column AA, I might enter
=--(AND($AX8>$AA$4,$Y8>0))
and copy it down to the end of the data. The resulting vector of 1s and 0s quickly re-identify data that meets that criterion even after subsequent resorting. It also makes locating data that meets multiple sorting criteria extremely simple. Essentially, I create a truth table.
Cell $AA$4 in the above example contains a "comparator" value I might wish to change at some point, which would change the subset of data the condition selects for.
Here's the first hard part:
For each data set, I need the ability to generate meaningful plots that includes separate series based on the criteria I have described. However, I also need to retain the ability to resort the data or change the comparator value without disrupting these plots. In other words, the plots must NOT change when the order of the data is changed, but MUST change to display the appropriate data when the comparator changes.
Here's the 2nd hard part:
Once I have this working for one data set, I need to be able to port it to other data sets (which are contained in other workbooks), so that I can compare equivalent plots from each. I also need to minimize the number of manual steps involved in doing so, to avoid human errors and excessive time consumption.
The only other possible complication I can think of at the moment is that, to this point, I have been inserting blank rows to isolate subsets that I do not wish to perform further sorting on from each other.
Right now I am angling toward VBA code that loops through the entire data set to generate base dynamic ranges using the column header row (row 1) as the names, and the entire column of data for the rangeloops through the truth table columns to generate "branch" row ranges for each of the sorting conditions,loops through the entire data set one more time to create "branch" ranges for each of the base ranges.
I could generate some code to accomplish a one-off solution for a given configuration of a single data set (provided there is not a list length limit in a chart series that I'd be violating)...but without a dynamic named range, I don't know how to get to something that would update appropriately. So in essence, I am still stuck at the dynamic range part of this.
