Moving Worksheets With VLookup Between Documents Without Changing References
Aug 23, 2012
I'm working on an excel report that handles reporting for a large number of people. Another person at work is doing the VBZ coding, and I'm doing the formulas that aggregates the data. which has led to an interesting problem whenever I use a vlookup. I copied the sheets with the formulas from the test document I had been working on to an updated version. And all the vlookups automatically adjusted themselves to reference the document they had been created in. I had also moved over the tabs they were supposed to reference, but they keep looking at the old document. I spent an hour removing the references last night, but I don't want to do it again when I get the final product.
How to get excel to copy a formula EXACTLY as written, and not att in the name of the original document?
It should say
=VLOOKUP($A438,totals!$A$1:$AH$63,32,FALSE)
and instead it says
=VLOOKUP($A438,'[reporting formulas.xlsx]totals'!$A$1:$AH$63,32,FALSE)

I have about 85 files that I need to rename. These files contain data concerning delivery and quality data of each of our suppliers...1 file per supplier.
Current File Name: SupplierA 2012.xlsx
New File Name: Supplier A 2013.xlsx
Is there a way to do mass rename the files..
and that leads to my second question...each of these files contain vlookups to 2012 data...which is contained in the a file with 2012 in the file name. I need to replace source data file (i.e. 2012 Index) with the new file containing the 2013 data (i.e 2013 Index). Is there a way to replace that source data across 85 or so files using some time of mass find and repalce? All the cell references remain the same

I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd
Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000]
If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "" Then
With Sheets("Log")

I am working with a formula that has multiple embedded IFs and therefore references the same cell multiple times. However I am also copying it between workbooks for different companies so some of the information changes which column it is in. For example, there is a formula in AA5 that has 3 references to R4 and 4 to R5 and I need all of the R4 references to be T4 and all of the R5 references to be T5.
I can't do a "find and replace" because the formula in Y5 still needs to reference R4 and R5.
I have been clicking on R4 and dragging it 3 times to T4 (and the same for R5 to T5). It just seems like there should be a way to move all of the R4 references at one time to T4.

Contents of B2 are "=A2"
Contents of B3 are "=A23"
I want to select B2 and B3 and drag the formula to continue
Desired results:
Contents of B4 are "=A44"
Contents of B5 are "=A65", but when I drag the fill handle...
Actual results:
Contents of B4 are "=A4"
Contents of B5 are "=A25"

I am running a research experiment in triplicate. Upon generation of data for all three, I create an averaged value of the three. I then take this value and do more calculations with it on a separate sheet. I wanted to know if there was a way in which I could quickly generate formulas based on a changing reference cell.
Example Data:
V1A 28
V2A 26
v3A 30
AvA 28
V1B 20
V2B 22
V3B 18
AvB 20
Vxy represents the value of y sample, x triplicate. V1A being sample A, first triplicate. AvX is the average of the three values.
I want to be able to generate a formula that references AvA which can be applied to the cell immediately below to reference AvB. A simple example would be to square the average.

I have a cell which references another cell (i.e. =A2). When I insert a cell above A2 the new formula becomes =A3. How do I stop it from changing?
I want to insert as many cells as I want above A2 and the cell reference will always be =A2. I played around with $'s but to no avail.

I am trying to do a simple copy and paste of number of cells A42:H76 to another sheet (in the same workbook) and have all the references stay when pasting to the new sheet. Instead when I paste it I get #Ref and the cell formulas no longer point to the right cell (they are all off by the same number because I did not paste the cells on the same row/column on the new sheet). Also, they don't refer to the older sheet where I want them to refer to.

Say I have this data in worksheet
A
B
C
D
E
14/1/2012
1
2
3
4
15/1/2012
5
6
7
8
And this in worksheet 2
=A2
=B2
=C2
=D2
=E2
=A2
=C2
=D2
=E2
=B2
=A2
=D2
=E2
=B2
=C2
Now what I want to be able to do is when I add a new row to worksheet 1, in this case row 3, then the references in worksheet 2 either to automatically (or manually do it in one simple go) increase by one and now refer to the new row. So the references now become =A3, =B3, =C3 etc.

I have a large workbook with LOTS of large formulas. However they dont contain $ characters before the ranges as I haven't needed to manipulate them til now. Now I am changing the sheet and I cant seem to move or copy these cells without the ranges whithin the formulas changing! Is there a way to do this? If not is there a way in VBA that I can check through selected cellls and enter a $ before all the ranges?

I have one sheet with all the formulas for the entire workbook and would like to copy and paste the formulas from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2...Sheet 1 to Sheet 3 etc. without changing the cell referening in the original formula. I am not too sure how .formula works.
Sub CopyAndPaste()
' To copy formulas from Summary sheet to their respective sheets
With Worksheets("Summary")
.Range("R3").Copy Worksheets("2").Range("X3").Formula = Worksheets("Summary").Range("R3")

I have formulas in wksheet #1 going down 20 columns (they are all the same formulas). On wksheet #2, I need to understand how to switch all column references in only one column to another (from wksheet #1) to show different sums. Clear as mud? The way I want to do this is by having one cell on wksheet #2 where I change a number from 1 to 20. This in essence would be the column heading in wksheet #1.
Example:
*There are more formulas but for the purpose here I'll use 3 for each Wksheet
In wksheet #1 I have
C24 is =SUM(C14*C15,C16*C17,C18*C19,C20*C21,C22*C23)*12
C55 is =IF(B66=0,"",C7/B66)
C56 is =IF(C11=0,"",C7/C11)
In wksheet #2 I have .......................................

On my excell I have a lot of data on sheet 2 that i automatically pull form a database.
I have this fomula in a cell on sheet 1.
= SUMPRODUCT(--( 'Sheet2'!P5:P50000=1),--('Sheet2'!T5:T50000>TIMEVALUE("01:00")))
The problem is that when the data on sheet 2 gets updated and more lines added, the computer changes my formula for the cell on sheet 1 as well. the new formula will change to
=SUMPRODUCT(--( 'Sheet2'!P5:P50126=1),--('Sheet2'!T5:T50000>TIMEVALUE("01:00")))
when there is 126 lines of new data addes in on Sheet2. Id only 50 lines were added in on sheet 2 then the Formula would change to
=SUMPRODUCT(--( 'Sheet2'!P5:P50050=1),--('Sheet2'!T5:T50000>TIMEVALUE("01:00")))

What I have is basically a form on the main sheet. Here other users can add and/or delete information in a form. I refer to the information in another sheet with formulas.
Now everything was great when using protections/ validations, to the where they fill in the information, but the problem occur when they are allowed to delete and remove rows.
This is something that I want to allow them, even though I do realise that this is something that many advice against it.
To begin with I found the post about changing relative references to absolute references (ConvertFormula). Still the formulas changes when rows are added or deleted and I would have to redo all formulas and run the macro again. I then found posts advicing on the use of the INDIRECT forumla. This formula was exactly what I needed as the formulas would not alter when rows were added/deleted. Now the problem is a combination of the use of INDIRECT and the the ConvertFormula. Now if I write a formula, for example:
=INDIRECT("'Sheet1'A1")
Then when I try to expand the formula over to the rest of the cells, then the references stay pointing at A1, when I want them to continue pointing at A2, A3, etc...
Now what I am looking for is some way to tell all my formulas, after expanding the original formula, that they should all have the INDIRECT function. If it was possible it would be great if you could implement it in the same way as with the absolute reference, for example:
For i = 1 To MyRange.Areas.Count
MyRange.Areas(i) = Application.ConvertFormula(MyRange.Areas(i).Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlIndirect)
Next i
Now the above code sample does not work of course, as there should be xlAbsolute instead of xlIndirect, but I hope you understand my intention. Do anyone have the answer to my problem? Is there an easy way to implement the INDIRECT function into a big amount of formulas?

Column O is names and column P autogenerates email addresses with
=CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(O2," ","."),"@company.com; ")
So, John Smith becomes
"john.smith@company.com; "
That's perfect. I want to move it to another worksheet. When I paste it to Worksheet 2, A1 I get
=CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(Sheet1!O2," ","."),"@company.com; ")
So why does that only generate "@company.com; "?

I'm working in Excel 2010. I'm trying to create a dynamic range, using the OFFSET function. I've got it working beautifully but as soon as I save it and close the Name Manager the range stops working. When I go back into Name Manager I find all the cell references have changed (from C1:C600 to C1048572:C595 - or some other strange range).
P.S. What it's doing isn't so important as when the cell references are right it works. But just for full info: It's an OFFSET function, starting at A1. It will look at a list of companies and use a Match function to find out how many rows to offset (based on where the first instance of a particular company. And it uses the COUNTIF to make the range the same number of rows as there are entries for that company.
Here is my broken function:
=OFFSET('Map Point'!A1048572,MATCH("Company Name",'Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595)-COUNTIF('Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595,"Company Name"),0,COUNTIF('Sheet Name'!C1048572:C595,"Company Name"))

I have a workbook with two worksheets.
Worksheet one is "Company ID" info, in it are the columns:"Company Name", "street add", "city", "state".
Worksheet two is "Company Contact Person" in it are the columns: a reference to worksheet one column one "Company Name", and column two is 'Contact Person name'.
I want to be able to sort worksheet one at will, By city, or state, or any of the various columns. When sorting worksheet one I want the relationships in worksheet to to remain intact.
"Company Name" - "Company Contact Person".

I am trying to accomplish a task that uses the VLOOKUP function to retrieve data from another worksheet. The problem I am having is that it will only return one row of data.
In the formula below, there are multiple rows that contain the $C$4 reference.
I would love to figure out how to return all the rows that contain that
C$4$ reference.
=VLOOKUP($C$4,'Hot Zone Customers'!$C$2:T561,14,0)

I 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.

I have two worksheets. On one worksheet under column G I have hundreds of random numbers, but I only want to extract a specific half. In the second worksheet I have two columns A and B. Column A has the exact numbers that I want to extract from Column G. I would like to get the numbers from Sheet 1 under column G listed under Sheet 2 Column B in reference to Column A.

I am trying to convert a workbook that we commonly use from worksheet functions over to VBA. Looking to use controls (buttons and such) to automate the tasks which functions used to do.
Most I figured out on my own, but there is one that is giving me some problems.
I have a worksheet page that queries data from an external database. I need to take this data and move it to another sheet with the correct formating and calculations. (see attached sample workbook. Sheet 2 is the database info and sheet 1 is where I need to move it to.)
Since the database data will have a variable number of rows, I need to do the following with a button:
1. If a row from sheet 2 contains data,
- Move the 'wonum' value from sheet 2 to the 'W/O' column on sheet 1
- Move the 'description' value from sheet 2 to the 'Name' column on sheet 1
- Move the 'wopriority' value from sheet 2 to the 'Pri' column on sheet 1
- Move the 'laborhrs' value from sheet 2 to the 'Hrs' column on sheet 1
(here is where it gets tricky)
- If values for 'targstartdate' and 'targcompdate' on sheet 2 are the same, then insert the 'laborhrs' value from sheet 2 into the correct day of the week column (minus 1) on sheet 1
(for instance if a database record's start and end date are both '4/13/2008' and the 'laborhrs' value is 3.00, then place 3.00 in the cell corresponding to the column labled '4/12/08' on sheet 1)
- If values for 'targstartdate' and 'targcompdate' on sheet 2 are not equal, then the 'laborhrs' value must be equally divided by the number of days difference and placed on the date columns on sheet 2 that correspond to all of the days (minus 1) that fall in that date range.
I filled out 2 of the rows on sheet 1 to give an example of what I am looking for.

"how do you move control/focus between Userforms and a worksheet that has Control objects on it?"
Here's what I am trying to do... I have created a Workbook that is basically a database and uses several Userforms to allow users to enter data into the database. I then have various CommandButtons in the Userforms that are intended to extract information from the database (which is stored in a worksheet) and display that information on a newly created worksheet. What I want to do is have a CommandButton on the new worksheet (the new worksheet is called "Results") that when pressed will delete the Results worksheet and return control to the Userform that created it.
So, the basic steps are:
* Display the Userform with the show method
* On the _click event of a particular Command button, Add a new worksheet
* Fill the worksheet with the pertinent data
* Place a Command button on the new worksheet and call it "Close"
* Somehow transfer "focus" or control to the new worksheet so the user can move around, print, do whatever on the new worksheet and then when done press "Close"
* When "Close" is pressed, delete the newly created worksheet and then return control to the original Userform.

In trying to construct a Vlookup formula that references a table in another workbook, I find that when I double click on the tab in the source workbook to insert the name, and then complete the formula with the column reference and a False statement, I keep getting an “Invalid” statement in the fx wizard when I try to solve this problem. By entering the name range by typing, I get a “#NAME?” error when I go to the wizard to see what I’ve done wrong.
This issue was addressed in the link that I searched for in the old help files and submit in this question. It seems that the issue was never resolved in that posting and I can’t figure out how to resolve this matter.

I am linking a row of data in worksheet x to a column of data in worksheet Y and would like to be able to drag down the cell reference in worksheet Y in this way:
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AR$4:AR$63)
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AS$4:AS$63)
=MIN(RuleofOriginData!AT$4:AT$63)
However, when I drag it down, the formula is automatically absolute for both the row and the column number instead of just the row as I indicated. Can anyone tell me why this occurs and whether there is a way to fix it?

There are 4 tabs titled: xy,xx,yx and ss. On tab ss; in cell A1, there's a formula that gives the sheet name of one of the remaining 3 tabs (so depending on a few conditions that are not important for this problem, its value is going to be xy, or xx, or yx.)
what I want to do is (say on cell A2), create a vlookup formula whose table array should go to one of the 3 tabs depending on the value of A1. So, if A1=xy , then, I want the table array to be ,xy!a1:b90, ..
However, I cant use an if clause (say: if(a1="xy",vlookup(..,xy!a1:b90,2,false),if(a1="xx",vlookup(..,xx!a1:b90,2..........) because I actually have 20 tabs and I dont want to go nuts with a bunch of nested expressions.

I have a setup at the moment where I have a spreadsheet using a bunch of macros that are coded in a module attached to another spreadsheet. In both spreadsheets the macros are tied to Excel buttons placed within worksheets. When I copy the spreadsheets each month to new directories - they're used for some monthly reporting - I see the following behavior:
1/ The spreadsheet that contains the module with the code for the macros correctly updates the location of the macros and works OK.
2/ If I open the other spreadsheet and save it the macros appear in the tools/macro dialog as having changed location OK. However, if I try to use the macros by pressing a button the macros invoked are in the old location. If I check the assignment of the macros in this spreadsheet by right-clicking on a button, indeed the macros invoked are in the old location. This means that I have to go through and manually update for each button the macro invoked.

I have a question dealing with a variable column and cell reference I'm using. To make it simple here's what I have done. On the FRUIT tab I have the following table in location BU132 - BV161
Name Column
Apples A
Pears B
Corn 'VEGGIE'!A
Peas 'VEGGIE'!B
I'm using the following formula to get the location of a cell on both the FRUIT and VEGGIE tab that has the value.
=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(CH61,$BU$132:$BV$161,2,FALSE)&CN61)
{where CH61-CH100 contains fruits or vegetables and where CN61 is a table that has the column reference which goes from 1 to 40)
This formula works great as long as the item is on the FRUIT tab. I can just drag the formula down the entire column and get my values for all the FRUITS listed in CH61-CH100. But, it doesn't work for any items in CH which are on the VEGGIE Tab. What syntax do I need to use in the cell next to Corn and Peas above to get this to work right?
