Making A Formula Static

Jul 13, 2008

I have 2 sheets in a work book. In the first sheet in A27 I have a value. In the secend sheet I have a formula "=SHEET1!$A$27".

Problem is when I insert a new row in sheet 1 the formula in sheet 2 changes to "=SHEET1$A$28" and I want the formula in sheet 2 to stay the same that is, always =SHEET1!$A$27.

Making A Date Static

Feb 28, 2008

I have a rather simple question that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere, even with a date stamp search on the board. I've found similar answers, but nothing specific to my problem.

I'm currently working on a department worksheet to track productivity. I have the formula in 2 cells to automatically display the current Sunday through Saturday dates when the worksheet is opened:=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY()-1) in E1 and=E1+6 in E2However, I need these dates to be static once the week is over for each worksheet and the workbook will contain a sheet for each week in the month (I'm not sure if that matters). I know this needs to be done in VBA, but I can't find how (if possible).

I'm new to this board and not a super Excel pro, so any help would be fantastic! Also, I'm working with the company's very old Excel97.

Making Dynamic Data Static

Aug 7, 2014

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?

OFFSET Statement Formula Static

Oct 21, 2008

Is there a way to make the last two parts ("height" and "width") of the OFFSET statement formula static (meaning they alway refer to the same cell)? I am inputting a different number in the "colum" section of the formula and every time I do...it changes which cells the "height" and "width" refer to.

Formula For Static Date Formatting?

Jan 9, 2010

Here is what I currently have to make the cell blank and highlighted yellow in the event the date in K1 equals the second day of any month

=IF(DAY(K$1)=2,"","N/A")

Conditional formatting is just =DAY(K$1)=2

What I need to do is apply these same conditions to the cell if the date in K1 is equal to 02/10/10 or 04/10/10 or 06/10/10 or 08/10/10 or 10/10/10 or 12/10/10

How To Populate Static Date And Time Using Formula

Nov 29, 2012

what type of vba code I could use to populate a static date and time that I could plug into a formula. Basically what I need is:

IF A1<>"" then L1 shows the date and time of the entry. If A1="" then L1 remains blank. I don't want the date to change once it has been entered.

Using Static Cell While Dragging Formula Across Rows?

Aug 21, 2013

Let's say I have a value in B2, and a formula in C2. If I drag the formula from C2 all the way down to C20 (spreading it 18 times), the formula wants the value in B2, B3, B4, etc.. down to B20. How do I drag a formula, but have it always reference B2?

Volatile Formula Returning Date To Be Static

Sep 21, 2008

I've posted this question in another site http://en.allexperts.com/q/Excel-105...xExp_72253.htm , but i haven't gotten any answer. I'm attaching an example of the file to show an idea of what i'd like to do, please check first. As you can see, i have a Due Date and Priority columns. The Due Date column has a formula, that when i choose the Priority level, it calculates the Due Date from the current date and auto populates in the cell. The problem is, when i open the file the next day, and insert another Priority level, it updates everything even the previous Due Date entry. This is the formula i have in place for the Due Date:

=(TODAY())+SMALL(IF(WEEKDAY((TODAY())-1+ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&(VLOOKUP((B3),{"Urgent",1;"High",14;"Low",21},2,0))+ ROUND(30*((VLOOKUP((B3),{"Urgent",1;"High",14;"Low",21},2,0))/30),0))))<6,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&(VLOOKUP((B3),{"Urgent",1;"High",14;"Low",21},2,0))+ROUND(30*((VLOOKUP((B3),{"Urgent",1;"High",14;"Low",21},2,0))/30),0)))),(VLOOKUP((B3),{"Urgent",1;"High",14;"Low",21},2,0)))

Is there a way to make up a vb macro to be able to make the Due Date output static, without affecting the formula?

Paste As Values To Each Of The Cells In The Above To Convert The Formula To A Static Value

I have the following VBA code, which works nicely -

PHP     For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown))

    Next C 

What I want to do is Paste As Values to each of the cells in the above to convert the formula to a static value,. Is there a simple bit of code I can include in the above loop, instead of doing a Selection.Copy Selection.PasteValues etc over the range?

Count Used Cells Formula. Make Reference Static

Nov 5, 2006

I have a problem using indirect in a counta function. Basically, I want to count the number of used cells in a range. However, there would be insertions to the rows (using the insert row) on top of the range.

my function is now =counta(indirect(" events database"!"A"&M22&":A"&M500)

However, this formula returns an error. What have I typed wrongly?

Match Formula Using Static Column Heading Which Could Appear In Random Columns

Aug 5, 2013

I have one worksheet which comes out of an online application (for the purposes of this example I will call it "Online Sheet"). The column headings in this sheets are always named the same but could theoretically appear in any column address. For example, the column header "Completed" could appear in column "X", or "AT", or "ZZ".

On a second sheet (called "Code Sheet") I have to unscramble all of this data into a standardize layout. Each row value has a unique ID which appears on both the "Code Sheet" and the "Online Sheet". However, in the "online sheet" the unique ID could also appear in any column. Like the "Completed" column this column also has a unique column heading ("Unique ID").

Using Match I can calculate the column number in which the "Completed" column appears in this instance of the online data. For example, "Completed" = Column "25". However, I now need to use some lookup function on this column based on the row in which my "Unique ID" appears of the "Online Sheet" (which could of course be in any column in the "Online Sheet").

For example, if "Completed" is in column "25" and the "Unique ID" which I am referencing on the "Code Sheet" appears on row 14 in the "Online Sheet", then the lookup formula must return the value of column 25 row 14 on my "Code Sheet".

Edit Excel Formula Links To Use Environment Variables Instead Of Static Absolute Paths

Sep 30, 2013

Is there a way that formula links in spreadsheets can use environment variables to reference formulas in other spreadsheets/addins?

For example, I have a spreadsheet that imports templates which call functions in an addin. The spreadsheet, templates and the addin could be installed into either the 'Program Files' or the 'Program Files (x86)' folders.

I am experiencing issues with the formula references when moved between 32 and 64 bit computers since Excel seems to store the full path of the addin in the Excel formula (even though it hides it when the reference resolves its path) in my templates. I would like to update the references in my templates so that they use an environment variable (set by my software installer) to always know the correct path of the addin.

In Excel 2003, spreadsheet links are edited via: 'Edit'->'Links'
In Excel 2007 and higher,'Data'->'Edit Links'

Static Formula Reference: Delete And Drag-and-drop Data To Get Rid Of Any Bogus Values

Jan 10, 2008

I making a template for multiple users to import data into for analysis. I want them to be able to delete and drag-and-drop data to get rid of any bogus values. However i need forumlas that reference those to NOT follow the values as there as moved. As a simple example say you have two columns, column A is a set of random numbers, column B is the number from coumn A times 2. If take the bottom half of column A and drag it up one cell, overwriting a cell, now the cell in column B next to the overwritten cell has a #REF err and ever cell below that now references a Cell in column A from the previous row. I want a formula that references a static address and will not follow the cell if it is moved.

If I use named ranges rather than specific cells references it works for the above example, however for my actual form it does not. Even though the ranges and formulas stay the same I start getting incorrect values. If there is no other way to this I will try to figure why the named ranges do not work.

Making HLookup Formula Dynamic?

Jun 20, 2014

I'm currently using an HLookup formula to create an output tab for a huge set of input data, but whenever I add new rows to the input tab, I have to adjust the formulas for each individual output cell.

For example, my output formula is currently "=HLOOKUP(B$4,'Inputs'!$B$2:$BJ$384,116,FALSE)," but if I add a new row to the input data, I have to adjust the table array and the row number for the formula. So, if I added a row before the 116th row, but wanted the output to be the same for this cell, I would have to update the formula to "=HLOOKUP(B$4,'Inputs'!$B$2:$BJ$385,117,FALSE).

Is there any way to adjust this formula so that it will automatically update to produce the same output without manually updating the formula each time I edit the number of input rows? Would an index/match formula work, and if so, what would it look like?

Making A Cell With A Formula Appear Empty

Mar 16, 2009

I have a chart with blank values in some cases. I have set up the chart to show those values as gaps, which relies on the blank cell being empty. However, my blank cells have a formula along the lines of: if (condition,value,"")

So the chart does not consider them blank, presumably either because the formula is in there, or because "" is not the same as blank. How can I make this cell appear blank for the purposes of the chart?

Making Formula Calculate At The Top Of Hour

Apr 19, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that I use to track my stocks. I have installed a third party add-in that goes out to the internet and grabs various stock information. But, when you are pulling info on about 30 stocks and getting info like name, price, dividend, div pay date and such, it slows the spread sheet down tremendously. Is there a way to keep the value in the cell and change it only during a certain time period such as 5 minutes before the top of the hour to five minutes after the top of the hour.

Making Dropdown Menu That Will Change Formula?

Dec 10, 2013

At the moment if a pupil has done foundation listening then I write their numerical result in, for example C3 or if they have done higher listening I write it in F3 (and it works out the UMS and then the grade), but I wondered if there would be any way to just put a dropdown menu in a column for each name, or change it so that I can type in H or F that will change which data is used? Because the UMS and grades are different depending on whether the pupil has done higher or foundation I am unsure how to format it

Making A Formula To Automatically Fill A Label

Jun 8, 2009

As I am a fresh user of excel 2007 I do not know how hard it is to solve the problem I am facing but hopefully there is a solution that the readers here are willing to share with me.

I have a list of **-s that I have recorded as a hobby with my friends (karaoke, free concerts...) and I have them coded in a specific way, so that I can find them on a shelve easily. The list is built up in a form that is seen on the example file that I added.
So far I have used my own handwriting and a sticker to label my ** boxes. It´s not a very good looking combo to be honest. Since I already have all the data in my excel tabel it would be good to use excel to take all the things from there and just print it out.
How to do that? The front cover is easy, I used VLOOKUP function. All I have to do is enter a number into the column C1 and the front label gets filled.

The problem for me is the back cover that should take the right track nr, title and length from several rows (VLOOKUP uses only one row at a time)? How to make it work, that excel would know that on the first album there are 3 tracks and when chaging a number in C1 there would be 2 tracks on a second one.

Making A Grade Book--- Missing Assignments Formula

Nov 14, 2008

I have a decent working knowledge of excel, but I'm stuck... I teach and I have created an excel spread sheet to help me keep track of grades, attendance, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how to get excel to figure out the assignments a student has missing (cells with no data input), then take the assignment name (column title with missing data) and students name (first column of data) and put that information in another worksheet. Basically I would like excel to tell me what students are missing work and what assignments they are missing so I don't have to scroll through hundreds of lines of data whenever I have midterms or a student wants a list of "missing assignments". BTW---I can get it to list the number of assignments a student has missing, but not list the specific assignment titles.

I know theoretically this is possible, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated as it will save a lot of time and help out my students! If you can give me a "fake" formula, I should be able to update it for my purposes...

Excel 2010 :: Making Portions Of Drag Down Formula Skip Cells

Feb 11, 2014

I have set up a formula to sum data from specific columns in multiple sheets in the same file. The simple formula had worked perfectly until I needed the data from the last sheet. In all of the other sheets the data that I need to pull is all in consecutive rows but in the last sheet the data that I need pulled and added is in every 4th row. The sheet looks like this:

All of the columns I've filled in work fine. The ones blank are the ones I am running into issues with. When I drag down the formulas excel pulls the next consecutive rows, which is perfect for the first four sheets I am summing, but for the fifth sheet (I'll ref the Test1 column) I need it to pull 'Wayne 2014'!C6 and then 'Wayne 2014'!C10 in the next row and so forth.

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
$ Amt.

Jan.16
=SUM(C2+D2+E2+F2)

[Code] ........

The first four sheets look like this, which is why they work fine:

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.

Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)

[Code] ........

The fifth sheet looks like this: I only want the formulas from the first sheet to pull the data from the dated rows in this sheet.

Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.

Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)
=SUM(C3:C5)

[Code] ......

Is there any way in Excel 2010 to get it do what I want? (I am not sure how that one cell became outlined and I do not know how to fix it.)

Static RND Inside For Loop

Feb 17, 2014

I am trying to create a For Loop where the RND from array column sptemp(i,2) is static throughout the entire loop when I pull the data out separately by columns to create a chart. The data works perfectly if I print it out on the excel spreadsheet via ctrl+shift+enter as an entire array but I am trying to graph the columns and the RND is updating and not syncing with the same random number, as sptemp(i,3) and sptemp(i,5) are both linked to sptemp(i,2) which is the RND. I am trying to graph column 3-5 on the Y-axis and column 1 on the X-axis, and column 3 and 5 should look identical after subtracting column 4.

Possible To Make Sheets Static?

Dec 7, 2006

what im creating is a live odds program for NFL football... and in my workbook I have ALL the teams as individual sheets.

The problem im having is say im looking at the calculations for Pittsburgh on the pittsburgh sheet, and my macro decides to update.

What it does is pulls me away from the pittsburgh sheet and goes through all the updates for all the teams on all the sheets. By the time its updated all the odds for all the sheets and running and highlighting with the other macros I have to click back to Pittsburgh and view again for like 20 seconds.. and away she goes again updating the sheets.

Is there any substitute for "select" in the programming where it will not select the sheet.. but just update it "behind the scenes" ?? making the page static and remaining viewable while it runs all the processes in the background??

( yep im pretty new at all this, but i have a great method for calculating games and winners each week, but probably better without looking for 20 seconds waiting, clicking back to the sheet and looking for another 20 seconds .. etc etc .)

Static Date Function

Jun 18, 2009

I have found threads that explain that if you want a to use the now() or today() function but make it static, you have to put a code in the worksheet relating to it.
I have read quiet a few threads, but i can't seem to make my code work.

I need to format column A to have the date format in it. I have a event procedure that puts Now() when run in Column A and I think i need to add the following code to the worksheet to make it static.
