I have a macro that is set to clear a range of cells. If I make a change to the worksheet (such as adding a column) that moves those cells in the worksheet, the worksheet formulas update, but the macro cell references do not. How can I make my macro update in accordance with changes in the worksheet?
I am trying to make a userform that will update a list in the spreadsheet. Basically if a user types into a multiline textbox numbers (separated by line) like so:
5
10
15
20
then the macro will paste that data at the end of a list so that each number is in a new cell. The only thing I have that comes close is Range("A1").value = listbox1.value The problem with this is that it will input the entire list into one cell. I have attemped various things, like trying to get the list into the clipboard and pasting, but I haven't really had much luck.
I am trying to do exactly what the calendar from this thread does with the Waste Log: [URL]....
But the years only go to 2012, can someone update this for 2013? And include Saturday and Sunday on the calendar too?
I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
Lets say I have two sheets titled "dashboard" and "raw data" in a workbook. Cell A1 in "dashboard" should always show the most up to date data from Row 1 in "Raw Data".
I update "raw data" daily, adding a new column to Row 1. For example December 19 would be A1, December 20 would be B1, December 21 would be C1 etc...How can cell A1 in "Dashboard" always reference the newest cell in Row 1 of "raw data"?
I have a spreadsheet with 2000 rows, and I need to add one column with the IF function that looks at the cell in the column to the left for each row, all the way down. How do I do that without typing in the specific different cell references for each row in my IF column?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a workbook where I'm linking data from a bunch of spreadsheets to a summary page. I have the first column (A) set up. I dragged the data across several more columns. Now I need to change reference to the tab in each column. Is there a quick way to do this without copying and pasting the tab name into each row (about 30 rows)?
(Each column represents a tab, the rows are the same type of data in every tab.)
I wish to Automatically copy the TEXT that is written from Spreadsheet 1 cells D5 to F5 to Spreadsheet 2 cells F5 to J5 .... a similar range of cells.
Is there a formula I can use or do I need to venture into the programming side of things.
I've attached a sample document of my data layout. On the Compare tab, I'd like to build a sumif formula that takes the data in column B and uses it to reference the other tabs without having to use a large nested IF statement. For example, on the Compare tab, in cell C2, the formula will know to look at the "JAN MONTH" tab because B2 says "JAN", then the rest of the sumif would be looking at the data in column A and matching it with the data in column A in the correct tab.

=M10 + $H24 - $I24*0.35
As you can see B10 is a fix reference (due to omitted $) which should NOT be auto-adjusted but be kept.
Now I want to copy the formular to lots of cells below cell M24. therefore I mark cell M24 and click copy in context menu.
Then I drag/expand the blinking cell border to lets say the 20 cells below. As I result I expect e.g. in cell M25 a formula like
=M10 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
Unfortunately I got
=M11 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
So the fix reference is adjusted as well.
How can I tell Excel 2007 to NOT auto-adjust fix references in formulas?
I have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.
I need that the active cell in each worksheet of an excel file to be the cell A1( i.e. when I open a file/ a worksheet the cursor is in cell A1)

i want to update values fon an excel sheet on a month by month basis. So i have jan to dec folders and excel sheets under each folder , i want to update my monthly forecast sheet based on the numbers in the folder I want to just change the cell in my monthly forecast sheet to Jan or Feb and the values should be pulled from the closed excel files in the monthly folders. I tried concatenation but it gave me #REF .. Is there a way to do it other than using "pull" ??

I have a userform that populates a list of names. As a name is added in column "D" column "C" updates a reference number using the formula =IF(D2="","",C1+1). I can get the formula to copy to the spread sheet but as a new name is added the formula stays the same. If I enter a name in cell D2 everything is fine but when I make the next entry in row 3 the same formula is entered as if it were text and not as a formula. so I wind up with a column of formulas that all say =IF(D2="","",C1+1) reguardless of what row the formula is in.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with a main worksheet where all the data entry and calculations are made and then I have "sub" worksheets which mirror subsets (specific columns) of the information from the main worksheet. When information in the main worksheet changes, or rows/columns are added, I want the sub worksheets to update automatically.
The only way I can figure out to do this is to use absolute references in the sub worksheets. Does anyone know how to change the references to be absolute (using the F4 function) without having to do them one by one? Or can anyone suggest how I can achieve this in another way.
Is it possible to update values within a second workbook without opening that workbook?
Also, is it possible to use INDIRECT to reference another workbook?
As you would normally use indirect formulas so the cell references don't change. Which that is what I want in the end, but I need to copy them to an indefinite number of cells first and would like to not do it by hand. I have found some solutions to similar questions/problems but cannot figure out how to make them work for me. So, what I am looking to do is this... (I have also attached the spreadsheet for reference)
I have gotten the information in columns A through F on the first sheet to update as rows are added, moved, deleted on the second sheet using Indirect range. Also, I could do this for Column I (Copmleted Proj. Avg. Terminations) but I would have to do it manually (as I began doing in I3, I4 & I5) but that would be time consuming. So I am hoping there is a way I can copy the formula down the cells are updated for the initial copy but then don't update if the referenced cells are moved or deleted.
I have a spreadsheet that needs to reference another spreadsheet to obtain a daily target figure. Unfortunately the way the system is set up at work, each day of the year has it's own spreadsheet in it's own folder, and the figure I need needs to be updated each day from the corresponding spreadsheet.
At the moment I simply have 366 (a spare unused one for leap years) different formulas to compare dates and return the figure from todays date. The downside here is that it takes excel 50 seconds to open the spreadsheet because of this, so I assume it's checking all of these figures in all those spreadsheets instead of just the one that's true.
so I have =IF(E2=AF2,spreadsheet address,0) Where E2 is todays date and AF2 is a date from a list.
What I'd like is a method to do something similar but with one or two formulas that will simply update the address of the file I need the figure from based on what date it is so that it will only look at one spreadsheet when it opens instead of all 365.
I tried the following:
IF(E$2=AF302,('C:spreadsheets('H:[Punch 2 Spreadsheet.xlsb]Punch 2 Metrics'!Z$28)[UVS Cell WEB.xlsx]Punch 2'!B$3)/1000,#N/A)
Where the section in bold replaces the part of the address with the date folders (20091091) for example, and instead has a cell reference which is formatted to replace this section and updates automatically each day.
It does not work obviosuly and I wanted to know I'm just not formatting the formula correctly or if this idea is a dead end.
I have a Main Customer Spreadsheet. I want to Auto Populate FROM the Main Customer Spreadsheet to a New Spreadsheet. I want to be able to key in a customer name on the New Spreadsheet and take the info for that customer from the MAIN Spreadsheet and fill in the blanks. I need to be able to do this several times a day.

But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!
I have one source spreadsheet, where are columns NAME, DATE. I read these data by ADO to other spreadsheet, where I can change/delete data and then run macro for update data in source spreadsheet. The problem: In source spreadsheet is column "NAME" and column "DATE", with values e.g. "Joseph"; 1.1.1980. I read this data to other spreadsheet, then I delete in it value 1.1.1980. When I run macro Update, it messages error.
Sub UpdateItem
...
.Fields.Item(1).value = activecell 'activecell value = "Joseph"
If Not isempty(activecell.offset(0,1)) Then
.Fields.Item(2).value = activecell.offset(0,1).value
Else
.Fields.Item(2).value = "" 'I tried Empty and 0 too but when I read data again then, it displays 0.1.1900, nothing works
End If
...
End Sub
It seems that in source spreadsheet has data in column "Date" format Date and when I try to update data in format String ("") in source spreadsheet by Update macro, it messages error. When I used
.Fields.Item(2).Value = Empty
' or
.Fields.Item(2).Value = 0
after rereading data it displays 0.1.1900 What I want to get is that if the cell with date (in other spreadsheet) is empty, the cell in column Date in source spreadsheet after updating will be blank (contains no values).
I have a label that displays the date using the = now code

When I open the form the date and time is correct, but it doesn't update while the form is open. Is there a way to make the date and time always correct while the form is open.
Here is the scenario:
I have a primary excel spreadsheet that I work from. The architecture is as follows:
Sheet 1: Called "Information"
Column A: Name
Column B: Date of Birth
Column C through Z: Various bits of information.
Sheet 2: Called "Master"
Cell B1: Contains the date and time of last update from the VBA I am asking for below.
On a weekly basis I get sent a "Update" spreadsheet that is constructed the same way as my primary. This is what I would like to do with some VBA:
From my primary sheet I run the VBA and it opens a pop up that allows me to select the updated worksheet. Next it cycles through both worksheets (Primary and Update). It compares Column A and B, if it finds a match it updates columns C through Z from the "Update". In order to get a match cell A1 and B1 of the primary worksheet has to match Cell A1 and B1 of the update sheet exactly.
The second thing I would like it to do is if the update sheet contains a new entry...in other words the update sheet has a row that does not match the primary it copies the row from the Update sheet to the Primary. In this way, the Primary sheet is always growing with new information and updating any old information it matches.
The last thing I would like to do is copy the current date and time after the comparison is complete to the Primary workbook to sheet "Master" in cell B1. This way I always know the time and date of the latest update.
I have a spreadsheet for Jan-Dec 2008 containing entries for each day as seen below.

I would rather not have to update each date manually so could any of you kindly inform me of a command whereby all of the 2008 dates can be updated to 2009?
