Making Data Permanent
Feb 23, 2010
I've been using the function =vlookup(...) to fill up the cells in my spreadsheet. However, a problem I've come across is that vlookup does not make the values in the cell permanent and keeps drawing whatever value is found in the corresponding cells it searches. Thus if the file it draws it's info from goes missing or is edited, my data also changes accordingly. Therefore I would like to ask if there was a way in which I can make the data permanent in my spreadsheet.

I have some text that I am having to analyze which comes out of our computer looking like this:
N/0/N/Y/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N
I use the text to columns function and headers above it to translate what each field is.
As I'm doing my testing if I do this once, I can keep the file open and any time I paste a similar entry in it takes care of the formatting.
But, is there way to make the file do that permanently? I want to let the other testers use it without making them have to go through the steps of clicking on the delimiter, etc.

I have received an excel spreadsheet that only has 23 columns. The sheet is not protected, the columns are not hidden, the columns are not shrunk to .01 millimetres, the columns are quite simply not there. How is this possible to do? Columns displayed are a through to W. If I delete a column the columns display only a through to v.

I have downloded several versions of the VBA calendar posted either here on or on "hey that's cool" forum (i.e Phil's calendar, Barry's calendar etc, ect), however I could not find the answer for making the calendar stay on the spreadsheet permanently without any triger to initilise the user form.
What I am trying to do is to have an embeded calendar in my worksheet where user can choose different dates and link this to a pivot table date field, so when the date changes pivot table output changes. I managed to do that with excel calendar control tool, however not everybody has the OCX file on their computer.

I added an attachment with an example. You will see a matrix, with in the most left column an ID, then the headers of the matrix has different numbers that mean something.
What I want to do is, you fill in a number in the combobox, then press on a button and a report will be made on a new worksheet. With a list of the numbers and dates in the matrix that the ID has. Like shown in the example sheet in the workbook.

I have a table that contains +/- 12,000 (A6:R12266) rows and I use several conditional formatting rules to highlight rows where the data changes from the row above in a sorted column for the visual easy of users. The conditional formatting works great however the data is the spreadsheet is constantly being modified and that is where I run into the problem. Whenever a row is inserted or deleted my rule is divided into multiple rules which is tedius to manage and also causes the formatting to appear incorrectly in some cases. I have the table defined as a named table in the name manager and I use that name for the range in the "Applies to" in conditional formatting, but as soon as I choose apply the name is converted to the current range which becomes several seprate rules and ranges as soon as the table is modified.
Formula to define which rows are highlighted
=$F5<>$F6
Range data applis to after chosing the tables name and clicking apply
=$A$6:$R$12266

I am trying to use Excel to document fiber optic cables that run between different locations. Each cable has 2 ends, but whatever service is connected to one end, will also be a the other. I would like to use an Excel worksheet to represent a termination point (a "light shelf" comprised of several fiber optic cables each made up of several strands of fiber (kind of a table with the 1st 4 columns of 6 rows being cable A, and the next 8 cable B)). I would like to be able to type in the value for cable A Strand 1 and have it linked to another worksheet representing a different location (the other end) and vice versa. I have tried to paste a link, but that seems to get broken. Is there a better way to make permanent links (Excel is bawking about a circular reference, which it is as each end needs to be linked back to the other.

I have a cell that has a result which is the average of a few other cells (In this case the result is in cell Y7). I now want to take that total and put it in another cell to represent todays result..I.E. I have a list of this months dates and I want the todays result to be populated in the table. So I have a list of dates and the cell next to each date has the formula:
=IF(TODAY()=A24,$Y$7,"").
It populates todays result fine however the next day it blanks the result (since the cell is no longer todays date).
SO the question: How to I have todays result oerwite the formula so the result is permanent in that cell. I guess I am looking for some sort of PUT command to take the result and PUT it in another cell without that cell being a formula itself to GET the date.

I have backwards co-workers that can't figure out how/why to use conditional formatting and have deigned it "not acceptable".
They've requested I fill in a HUGE spreadsheet and change the font color to red if it meets a criteria.
Simple enough to do with a conditional format that compares my data.
HOWEVER, now I need the individual cells to stay red and remove the conditional format (because conditional formatting "confuses" them). Removing the condition causes the color to go back to black. I've tried all sorts of paste specials (formula/format) to no avail...

I'm using excel 2000 and I just noticed something and am unsure how to change. I guess early on my building of a workbook I accidentally left calculation to manual. I would like to change calculations to automatic on permanent basis. I keep changing it and it changes back to manual after I close then reopen the workbook. I would prefer to change permanently to automatic....Any ideas would be a bonus. On all new workbooks I can save in automatic but I cannot change from manual to automatic.

I have a big system of data, me not knowing better i have it such that the categories is listed in the start of the row, and new data for periods are listed in the columns following. when i mark the data and click table, it puts the scroll down thing on top of the columns, which is of no use to me at all, i need them at the start of the row. is this possible, or do i need to reorganize all the data, and VBA code used to sort and collect it ?

I want to take some data which is dynamic and make it static elsewhere in a workbook without doing a manual copy of the said data. Is this even possible?
For example, let's say Sheet1!A1 is the dynamic data I am using, and on Sheet2!A1 I want to replicate this data, I know I can just reference Sheet1!A1. However, this would make Sheet2!A1 dynamic, and I want it to be static. I know I can do this be just typing it in manually but I have a lot of data I would need to do this for, is there some way of making Sheet2!A2 static whilst still referencing Sheet1!A1?

In it I have a list of different profiles (From autocad Civil 3D). With a column for the station value, and a column with the elevation. These profiles are arranged all below each other. In the example xls, I've limited it to 2 example profiles to make it a bit clear. The 1st few columns come from the export out of Civil 3D (with empty rows between them, but these are easy to delete). For each station of the profile, you have an elevation
What I need to do is calculate a 3D length for each profile. So manually you can do this with A=(B2+C2)^1/2, and then make a sum. Which is not really a problem if you have a list with 2 profiles. But sometimes we have a list with 100 profiles.
Optionally, it would also be handy that we then get a list in another sheet, with in 1 column the profile names, and next to it the 3D length.
My main question is: Is this possible with VBA? (I would assume it is..) Next, it would be handy if I could be directed in the right direction to produce these routines, because I don't have that many experience in vba.

I'm trying to make a chart (which will also be on the UserForm) from data that a user will enter onto a UserForm. The problem is that I am trying to select a data range as one of the charts 'series' but I can't quite find the right code. At the moment it looks like this:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Range(BMIM20Ttl, BMIM2025Ttl, BMIM2530Ttl, BMIM3040Ttl, BMIM40Ttl)
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = " Total"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Values = Range(BMIM2075, BMIM202575, ...
The problem is with the Range function.

I want to put a permanent date & time stamp in cell A1 (date) and cell A2 (Time) when cell A3 is populated by any character which would be an inputters initials.
I'm thinking that it will be an "IF" statement but then I am getting confused about how I make it not update when the spreadsheet is opened at a later date and time.

1. Is it possible for this hyperlink box to only be displayed when ALL the questions have been answered? i.e. All drop down boxes have been used?
2. Is it possible for the result (along with their individual names and scores) to be saved on another sheet? This of course would be supplemental (i.e. When the next person finishes the test, their name would be next on the summary etc.)? I would then have a whole list of who had taken the test...when...and what their score was!
3. Finally, and I know I'm pushing my luck, but is it possible for this summary sheet of names and scores to be hidden?

I have a chart with 3 data series. The series are located in columns A, B and C respectively. Series I is a general number anywhere from 0 to 100,000. Series 2 is also a number, but is is devided by series 1. So, if series 1 was 100,000 then series two would be 25,000/100,000 which is 0.25. Series three will always be numerator of series 2 or 25,000 in this example. The numerator, or the 25,000 will never change, so, in my example, series three will be a straight line across the chart because it is always 25,000.
In my example, the .25 is plotted on the left value axes, and series one is plotted on the right value acccess (secondary axis). Series three is just a line in the middle.
My problem is that sometimes the line, series 3, doesn't match the values in both the right and left values axes. So, if series one is 48,000, then series two would be 48,000/48,000 = 1, and series three would be 48000 - the straight line. The third series should be a line touching the 48,000 on the right and the number 1 on the left. It does touch the 48000 on the left, but is below the number 1 on the left.

I am making a simple map in excel. I have my floor plan on sheet 1 and the location of product on the floor on sheet 2.
Currently I have some formulas on sheet 1 that link to some sales data on sheet 2, but what I would really like to be able to do is use the search function on page 1 and it give me the location of the products in a given area.
The data is broken up into group location on the second sheet.

I have four columns containing about 200 addresses.
A Names
B Streets
C Cities
D Phone no.
If I write a name in D1 I want to get the corresponding street, city and phone no. in E1, F1 and G1.
I also want to copy the formula downwards let's say ten times so I can make a list.
If I for example just want to make a list of three names (D1-D3) I want the rest of the fields to stay blank.

I've created an Add-in (.xlam file) in Excel 2007 and installed and activated it (it shows up under "Active Application Add-ins" on the Add-in menu for new workbooks).
I can see the macros and code when I go to the VBA editor, but the macros don't show up in the regular macro list.
I know that I can write code for the new workbook that will reference the Add-in code, but I want other users to be able to install the add-in and run the macros in it right away without any knowledge of VBA. Is there a way to make this possible?

I have a spread sheet that tracks progress reports that are due every 90 days. I have a due date colum that will automatically get high lighted if the 90 days have passed to inform me or my staff that the report is late. I would like to have a colum with a button in each row that allows the reader of the spreadsheet to press "YES" for that accont's progress report having been turn in. When the "YES" button is pressed the date due date column advances to the next 90 day due date and the highlight would turn off.
I used the conditional format to change the due date column to Yellow if =TODAY() is less then or equal to the due date. But I can figure out a way to select something and turn the highlight off and advance the due date to the next 90 day due date.
