I'm working on a project, and I need a cell on a worksheet to produce the name of the worksheet, such that if the worksheet changes, or is copied [Sheet1 renamed to Sheet(1), for example] the cell will automatically update [now displaying Sheet(1) in cell A1].

I've recently discovered that I enjoy making Excel spreadsheets as a tool to solve recreational puzzles. Mostly variations on crosswords and such. Honestly it probably takes much longer to organize everything into a sheet than it would to just solve on paper, but I seem to enjoy it this way more.
The Actual Question (for TL;DR Types):
Anyway, I am trying to find a way so that a group of cells can all copy the value of the other cells in the group, regardless of which cell the value is entered into. So I don't want there to be one "master cell" that all the cells are linked to. I want them all linked to each other.
Specifically, right now I am making a spreadsheet for a non-traditional style crossword puzzle. My intention was to make fields for the answers to each clue, with individual cells for each letter, as well as the crossword grid itself. Then I would link the cell in the clue answer to the cell in the grid, so that when the answer was filled it, it would be inserted in the proper place. But since this is a crossword, there is more than one clue with a letter that links to each cell. I could make it so that the cell in the crossword grid is the "master" and make the other two equal to it, but I would much rather be able to enter the letter into any of the three cells and have all three fill automatically.
I realize I am making this way more difficult than it really needs to be, but that is kind of what I enjoy about it. Finding creative ways to make the puzzles fit into a spreadsheet and making them more streamlined.
I have a formula in a cell....let's say column B.
It basically says "If column A is empty,then = 24:00, otherwise = column A".
It works fine and displays as 24:00 in the proper cells, but if you try to add all the 24:00 together it doesn't work. I guess the simple question is, how do I hard code a proper time value from an If Statement.
e.g. =IF(A1="",24:00,A1)
I am using a VBA macro (Using mouse clicks as inputs for neuroscience experiment?).
What the macro does is it inputs a timestamp every time a keyboard combination is used (alt+right arrow in this case).
The part of the macro which inputs the timestamp is like this:
Sub AltRight_Sub()
On Error Resume Next
Cancel = True
Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS")
End Sub
I would like the timestamp to be displayed as HH:MM:SS.00, i.e. show the milliseconds. I tried playing around with the timestamp format (changing it to = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS.00" or = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS.0;@")) or = Format(Now, "MM:SS.000") and I tried using = Evaluate("=NOW()") instead of = Format(Now, "HH:MM:SS".
How can I make a cell display 0 or remain blank instead of #N/A?
I have several cells that are either VLOOKUP or just normal sum functions but they all display #N/A.
I have a worksheet with 30,000 rows. But sometimes even if I have fewer records in this worksheet(lets say 1000) worksheet shows the same 30,000 rows.And its annoying when you try to navigate using vertical scroll bar. Is there any option to re-adjust the worksheet to make it more user friendly based on number of rows in current sheet.

For example of cell E2 reads "Thank Goodness it is Friday" and cell F2 reads "Thank Goodness" can I put a formula in H2 that will show the text that is in E2 but not F2 ( "it is Friday")?
I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".
I need to make an identical copy with the name I choose from the input box with (wk2).
For example:
If I enter Tommy in the input box, it would make 2 worksheets:
Dim NewSheetName As String
Sheets("NewPerson").Copy After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
NewSheetName = InputBox("What would you like to name this sheet?")
On Error GoTo Err_Trap
ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.Name = NewSheetName
Err_Trap:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("NewPerson (2)").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox ("A new sheet was not created." & Chr(10) & _
"Please choose a different name."), vbInformation, "Sheet Creation Error"
Exit Sub
End If
CK Nursery and Finish Inventories.xlsxAttachment 207447
I would like the "Finish Summary by Age" tab worksheet to look like the "Nursery Master Sheet" and "Circle K 1 - CD Farms Nursery" tab worksheets. I'd like the "Finish Summary by Age" tab worksheet to cover the majority of the paper like worksheets on the other tabs.
I'm trying to make two identical worksheets in a workbook. I would like the second sheet reflect all the changes made in the first one. I thought I would simply use = but it doesn't work correctly if I add or delete rows. If I add a row between row 1 and 2 in the first sheet the formula in row 2 in the second worksheet changes from =sheet1!A2 to =sheet1!A3. The result is the same if I use absolute references which suprised me. I want the formula in row 2 to stay =sheet1!A2 whatever happens on the first sheet.
I don't care about formatting, just data are important.
The reason I want the same data on two worksheets is that the second sheet will contain some more data that should not be visible to everyone. I want to protect the second worksheet and require a password to unhide it.
i have a formula that will return both negative and positive numbers. If it's negative it obviously shows a "-" sign. How do I force it to display a "+" if the result is positive?

Each tab in my worksheet is represented by a customer's name. I would like to have inside this worksheet their name displayed.
My company has complicated time sheets because we have several tasks that are billed differently to different people. Once a month we have to sit down and compile everything from several forms and so forth. I have created a worksheet that pulls all the numbers together so that they can simply be copied and pasted into our reports. The hope was to simply copy this worksheet into a time sheet workbook and it will pull out all of the correct numbers. Although all the time sheet workbooks are set up the same way, whenever I copy the file into another time sheet workbook the program keeps its references from the workbook it was in. Make sense? is there a formula that I can insert into an array to tell it to pull the information from the worksheet with the same name, but in the active workbook?
here is one of the equations I am working with:
{=TRANSPOSE('1st week'!A10:L48)}
so it would look something like this maybe
{=TRANSPOSE('[active workbook]1st week'!A10:L48)} but this doesn't work of course.
I have the following code that I would like to trigger when cells B26:U26 change to something other then 0 due to a formula? How was I make this happen?

We have a workbook that we create each month that has one worksheet per day of the month, labeled 12_01_2011, 12_02_2011, 12_13_2011...etc. The pages are an empty template with formulas and fields in place that we simply copy and paste the results of an SQL query into. Presently, we are copying the page manually several times over, and then manually renaming the pages with the new dates for the upcoming month.
So, here is my question. Macro that I might use that would:
1) Make a copy of the template for each day of the month.
2) Label each page in sequence with the dates for the upcoming month.
Basically every month I keep a track of my sales in a spreadsheet.
I've attached a sample file : Discrepancy Form.xlsx
Sometimes I don't get paid correctly. So rather then filling everything in manually, I want to simply put a "Y" (for yes, there's a discrepancy) or "N" (for no, there's no discrepancy" next to worksheet "Sales" but then have it display the values in worksheet "Discrepancy."

using VBA, I created a simple problem that I can't figure out how to solve in worksheet 2, I have 3 worksheets.
1. Players - Complete info of players
2. Members - When I select the team name, I'd like to display the info First Name, Last Name and Team only for the team name I've chosen. This should automatically change whenever I select a team name.
3. Team Codes - Tables I used for my vlookup and drop down list.
I have attached my file for your reference.

I want to create a formula (preferably w/o macros) to insert the sheet name in a cell. In other words, if the worksheet name is "Location1", then cell A1 result in that worksheet would be "Location1" based on a formula that pulls it from the sheet name.
I found a post that ONLY does this for the current sheet:
=RIGHT(CELL("filename"),LEN(CELL("filename"))-FIND("]",CELL("filename")))
However, the sheet name is not frozen with it's sheet name when you switch sheets. I will have many sheets in the workbook.
How about if I have a long string of numbers that I want to display in another worksheet. For example, here is an item id off eBay, that I want displayed in another worksheet if it is present, otherwise, it should be blank. Here is the item id, they are all unique by the way.... 230092645222. I tried to use this formula below but it didn't work.
=IF(ISBLANK(inventory!S2),"",TEXT(inventory!S2))
I am having trouble writing a simple macro that can display the name of the worksheet (Sheet2) in a cell (Cell B2 of Sheet1).

End Sub
The worksheet perfectly performs as expected, big thanks to JBeaucaire again. Now, as am looking around of the file and doing some exploration on the array, as I was trying to make this applicable to real life application, I noticed the following mysteries...
1. When I tried to delete some rows, The Members Sheet output went wrong and displaying #N/A. I noticed it's because the formula range have change. But it would be hard for a new user to re-arrange it over and over again everytime when a row is deleted.
2. I've been trying to solve this problem to no avail. I found this link that gives me an idea how my worksheet should work, this was already solved but I can't apply it on my worksheet...

3. I would like to add another column on A to put the 0 and 1 on, but I don't need to delete this column after the resort so that next time if I need to delete another row existing row i'll just replace the existing 0 with 1 on column A.
