Merging Updated Info Row With Old Row

Aug 8, 2013

a little task that I'm trying to accomplish. twice a day, a coworker of mine puts out a report on all the jobs we have going for the next couple of days. I paste her report into my own, hide the columns I don't care about, and format the way I like, and add in column U, which holds my comments about the job. It ends up looking something like this:

escelex1.PNG

Later that afternoon, I get the updated copy of her report, in which the B number and customer name always stay the same, but some of the info might change, for example the HOLD column, or the boards or sten columns might change.

What I would like to do is to paste in the afternoon copy of the report, and to have excel merge duplicate rows in such a way that I have the afternoon information from her report (columns B-Q) and keep the comments that I had put in the morning record's row.

When I paste her afternoon report into my spreadsheet, I get duplicate entries looking like this: escelex2.PNG

But I want to be able to merge the data, so that it looks like this: escelex3.PNG

Does that make sense? I want the afternoon version of the data, with no duplicates, but I don't want to delete the comments that I put in in the morning (which is what the "remove duplicates" button is doing)

Sheet Last Updated Info

Nov 12, 2006

I have sheets Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 and Master in a workbook.

In sheet Master, I list Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3 in range A1:A3. In range B1:B3 I want to return the date in which the sheet in A1:A3 was last updated. So everytime Sheet1 has changes, I want the date to be logged in B1. Same with Sheet2 (B2) and Sheet3 (B3).

I have tried writing the code but it returns errors.

Dictionary Value Not Being Updated?

Aug 13, 2014

I have 2 dictionaries; both have a "location" and the "frequency of occurence". The 2nd dictionary locations are related to the first, but are named differently, so I have a range of cells I'm using to define the equivalent locations, ie:

Dict. 2 Location----Dict. 1 Location
Wrapper------------Packaging
Robot----------------Robot Arm
Robot----------------Robot Base
etc..

(It's not a direct 1 for 1)

The program is meant to take both dictionaries, convert the 2nd dictionary keys to the equivalent dictionary 1 keys (based on the cell range data provided) and then combine the values associated with that location and store them in D_Master. D_Master is a copy of my dictionary 1, in which I am also trying to add the values from dictionary 2.

I started by writing the location definitions within the program, i.e.:

[Code]....

which works, but there are several hundred definitions and it becomes less robust, whereas a user could type in a definition within the range of cells and the code below could take care of the rest.

Last Updated Date

Feb 25, 2008

I have a front page with buttons linking to other spreadsheets, e.g

{ button } Stock Sheet .xls (???)

{ button } Sales Sheet .xls (???)

In the brackets I wanted to display the last updated date of the said spreadsheets, so that a user can see if it has already been updated. Is there a way of retrieving the last updated date for a spreadsheet, and dispaying it (i.e is it held against a variable or named item)

VLookup In Several Sheets Last Updated Value

Jan 13, 2014

I have several sheets named by months like 1213, 1113, 1013, 913, 813, 713, etc (month-year) and I'm doing one sheet as an index that needs to find a value across all the sheets.

All the months sheets have a list of names in column A and status in column B. When the business with the name is done, it doesn't appear in the next sheet.

For example "Client A" could appear in 713, 813, 913 (business done) and won't appear in 1013, 1113 and 1213,
In the index sheet I want to lookup what is the status for a name from the latest sheet (last updated status).

So I have all the sheets names in a range called months and I want to make a small formula if possible.

I want to start looking in the latest month (sheet) and if that doesn't have any value it goes to the lower one and so on.
If I use =VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0) it shows N/A since the name only appeared until 913 and its looking on 1213.

Right now this is working, but it's too big to understand.

IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0))),VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0),
IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)-100&"'!A:D"),4,0))),VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)-100&"'!A:D"),4,0),

How To Print Updated Information

Sep 11, 2009

I am wondering how to print only the rows that have information in them. I have a report that is super long. We only want the information that is updated to print. This information will change weekly.

Is selecting the area I want to print the only way to do this? Or is there a way I can tell excel to print only the rows that have been updated?

This report is one that we use every week, for ordering, there is a lot of information on the report that we will not need every week, so we are hoping to print only the rows that are updated for that week.

Centrally Updated File

Jun 22, 2007

I have developed a system for logging phone calls in Excel which will be used by a team of 3-4 people in a small call centre type environment. Each operator will have their own copy of the application which will independently contain the data for their own calls.

However, what I need to do is have some way of regularly updating everyone’s data to a central workbook so that all the operators have access to reasonably up to date information from all the other operators.

I can handle the actual transfer of data from one book to another and perhaps using an OnTime procedure to handle the regularity, but the problem I have is that with regular updating, there will inevitably be read-only issues which are going to make the application crash.

I was thinking maybe have the data update run from the central workbook itself to avoid this, but was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas. Some sort of file sharing or something maybe?

Automatically Updated By The Same Values

Feb 20, 2009

1) for example i have two files Master.xls and client.xls , when ever the client.xls updated with values the master should automatically updated by the same values.

If i use the link concept , once the user delete the row then master file also automatically updated. So here i want to restrict the permissions to master file.

how can we do that ?

2 - Macros) I like to filter the data as per the column value. In case of less numbers we can hardcode the values for filter criteria. (by declaring an array variable and assigning the values to the array)

But if the values are very high how can we get assign the criteria dynamically ?

Detect When Web Query Has Updated

Aug 17, 2006

I'm trying to automate a spreadsheet that downloads a set of tickers from Bloomberg and then fills across a range with a series of data. I have most of the VBA code I need, but my problem is that on opening the spreadsheet, the code moves on to fill the range before all the tickers have downloaded correctly.

I've tried using application.wait and setting up loops until the time reaches a certain value, but these seem to stop Excel updating the list of tickers (presumably the loops stop excel gathering the data?). I suspect that what I need to use is something like the querytable. afterrefresh, but am not sure I'm using it correctly since my knowledge of VBA is very rudimentary.

(i) is there a way of getting the sheet to open, and then just wait for a period of time while still allowing the tickers to download, and/or

(ii) any way to detect when the tickers have finished downloading before the next step of code can commence?

Cell Not Updated As Should Be By Code

Dec 22, 2006

I have code which when run thru manually in VBA says it has updated the contents of the cell in a sheet. Indeed the code all reacts as if it has updated the cell in memory, however the actual spreadsheet cell has not been updated.

Cells Not Updated Automatically

Mar 23, 2007

I have a worksheet in my Excel wookbook that references particular cells from another sheet. I use a simple macro to alter the values in some of these cells, but for some utterly bizzare reason, the cells referencing them are not updated. The only way to update the cells is to click on the cell and press Enter!

I've never had this problem before.

Does anyone know why this is, or perhaps know of a line of VBA code that updates every cell on a particular worksheet.

I have an excel report that is generated in another program every week. The report is not sorted by date and it may have 100 rows of data one week and 200 rows of data another week. My excel file has formulas that refer to this original report. I need those formulas to update first, then I need the information to automatically sort by date (column D in my excel file). I have tried to setup a script to run, but it's not working. I will attach the file and the script.

Automatically Populate Another Cell When One Is Updated?

Apr 27, 2014

I have a spreadsheet where vehicle milage is entered at the end of each month. On another sheet I have the vehicle fleet numbers and the the months along the top. What I need to happen is; when the mileage cell is updated I need the cell in the other sheet to be automatically populated, when the mileage is updated the next month I need the next cell(February)to be populated with the new milage and so on. The aim is to calculate monthly milage for each vehicle without having to enter the date at the beginning and end of the month.

Everyone I work with is completely computer illiterate and only knows how to enter the data the same way they always have(just the once at the end of the month) changing it up will only cause issues.

Updated The File Name Changes To Reflect The Revision

Mar 17, 2009

I have a spreadsheet that references another spreadsheet, however the other spreadsheet will get updated from time to time. When it's updated the file name changes to reflect the revision:

"C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R00-Inst_Database.xls"

When this file is revised the "...R001..." will increment with each revision but the rest of the file will stay the same.

Sometimes I have to reference a file in another directory:
"C:Projects9-030_Brazil1 Design9-030-R00-Inst_Database.xls"

I was planning on placing information in the following cells of this spreadsheet ("C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R001-Cause_&_Effects.xls):

Cell A1 - Project Number (i.e. 09-022, or 09-030)
Cell A2 - Project Name (i.e. Tunisia, or Brazil)
Cell A3 - File Rev Number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.)

I was thinking my "INDIRECT.EXE" would look something like this:
=INDIRECT.EXE("'C:Projects"&A1&"1_Design["&A1&"_"&A2&"-R00"&A3&"-Cause_&_Effects.XLS]Index'!Q5")

The value on the spreadsheet tab "Index" that I'm referencing in cell Q5, is "FG-5901" but all I'm getting in the spreadsheet were this formula resides, is an error "#NAME?"

Part of my problem is that I don't fully understand the function of the "&" symbol in the formula. Sometimes I've seen it placed on both sides of a cell reference (i.e. &A1&), and other time only at the being (i.e. &A1).

Date Not Being Updated When Open File

Apr 2, 2014

Previous to a PC meltdown a few months ago, when I opened my monthly customer list file the account date would automatically update to the current date. After the PC repair, reinstall of MS Office 2002 (same version as before the PC death) and copying of documents back to their old locations, I now have to update this manually for all accounts each time I open it. I have searched through the options and customize menus but there is no mention of this setting. Before, it just did it from day one (5 years ago) without any setup.

How do I get back the old auto-date update preference?
