I have a huge database. The rows are broken up by the groups. The columns are broken up by months, quarters, and totals. All the named ranges are the same exact size because all groups have the same category names and all columns have the same amount of months and quarter columns. So it sort of looks like this
Actual 2006-----------------------------Actual 2007
Group Category Jan Feb Q1 Total-------Group Category Jan Feb Q1 Total
100 Labor Cost 220 130
100 Labor Cost-Expense
Group Category Jan Feb Q1 Total
101 Labor Cost
101 Labor Cost-Expense
Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what the spredsheet format is. Right now I have named ranges for all the groups and years. So the top left name is A06_100, then it goes A06_101, etc. What I'm trying to do is set this up as easy as possible to insert rows in the named ranges and keep the named range, because they are referenced a lot in other worksheets. Also if any columns get added. Basically I want it as user friendly as possible so when people change things it stays together.
I am trying to create a dynamic named range with a sales rotation tracker. Basically, I have a list of leads that come in each week and I add them to the tracker distribute the leads to sales people based on a rotation. I would like to create a dynamic named range for each sales person that will select each sales person's name including the lead information in the row.
I have read all of the dynamic named range information at the link below as well as the advanced dynamic named range page and I can't seem to put my finger on this short of doing it manually.
So I've tried this a few different ways and every time I get the 1004 error: "Unable to set PrintArea property of PageSetup class"
Basically I have a macro that goes through a workbook to hide certain rows and columns based on some user inputs. After doing this I would like to set up appropriate print areas on certain sheets so that when you go to print anything it comes out clean. I thought this would be easy but I'm stuck.
The Plans variable in the code below is an integer from the user input. Think of this code as grabbing two separate boxes and setting them as print areas, which I've know I can do manually because I've tried it.
What's wrong with the following code?? (I've also tried using the union function here, to no avail)
But, it fails. I have looked through many topics on this subject, but nothing seems to fit my scenario. This will pretty much complete my current project if I get this figured out and can export these print areas to pdf without a bunch of blank pages as I get now with no print area set.
I have a log where I'm recording daily readings of a pipette. Each day three readings are taken and I have each stored as a dynamic range so that I can monitor how in control my process is. However, when I graph it, I would like it to be one continuous line graph (Three readings from day one followed by three readings from day two, etc.). I'm having difficulty doing any sort of combination.
I am trying to get the contagious cumulative sum of various data ranges in the same column in my workbook. Data ranges are dynamic so i can not use formulas. I have prepared a table below for illustration. I need the VBA code to calculate the cumulative amounts in column C highlighted in Bold.
There is always a blank row after the cumulative amount. There is also always a text (as in column A of this example) in the same row as where the cumulative is summed up, maybe it can be useful for the code.
I would have written some code but for the algorithm to be used in this case. Maybe a nested for loop, not sure.
I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e. First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11 Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25 & make a Validation list that will list content of both
I would like to replace the blue bit of this Dynamic Named Range (DNR) with an INDIRECT formula in order to modify the starting point for the DNR: =OFFSET(DATA!$C$60,0,0,20,1). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my INDIRECT formula to work in order to use it to replace the blue bit above: INDIRECT("'"DATA"'!&ADDRESS(MATCH('SHEET1'!AC8,DATA_Date,0)+22,3)"). The orange bit of the formula above returns a value of 60, therefore the ADDRESS formula should return $C$60, that can then feed into the INDIRECT and act as the equivalent of DATA!$C$60. But it doesn’t.
I have a list of research material based off postcodes, travel time in those areas and what I want to do is rank the the travel times in those ares within a third column.
What I have so far in design terms is this:
Origin Base Time Time Ranking AB10 00:10:00 AB10 00:12:00
[Code]...
So basically I'm trying to have column c look at a and check for the lowest value in b against all other rows that have the same constant value e.g. AB10 in column a. Then to distinguish them somehow for example marking the first '1'. Also then to be able to do it for second and thrid ranking value.
What do people think? Is this doable? I think maybe a min if array but keep tripping on the fact that the ranges are all locked in a single column and inconstant sizes.
The data comes in this format and is quite large so manual editing would be a last resort.
I am attempting to create a form in excel with dynamic data validation fields. What has me stumped is that I want to create multiple complex dependencies (for instance, if you select something from a drop-down list in the first field, that then gives you a specific range in the second field. Then based on what you placed in the second field it gives you a specific range in the third field.). What I can't seem to work out is the formula for making this work.
Is this impossible? Also sometimes the third field my be blank.
Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish
I need a 'simple' vba that outputs all the dates in a range that correspond to a particular ID in a column as well as that same ID in a column beside the dates.
So basically using the data in columns A to B as input, to get columns E and F as output.
I have a spreadsheet that has two different data sources (i.e., A and B). The amounts of these data sources (i.e., the number of columns) varies from sheet to sheet. I have to calculate the averages of these data sources independently and together. Because this data is spread across twenty or more spreadsheets, these calculations can be time-consuming. I want to do the following: 1. Locate the last occurrence of the first data source "A" in row and then insert a column after that cell. 2. In that cell, I want to get the average of each data source for each row of data (i.e., there are always 19 rows of data). I want to do the same two steps for the second data source "B". Then, I want to insert a column after the "B" average and this column will be used to get an average of each row of data from A and B together. Please keep in mind that the number of data sources for A and B varies from sheet to sheet. So far, I am working on code to try to " find" the text in a range (i.e., find the last instance of "A"), but I cannot figure out how to get it to get it to stop at the last occurrence and then insert a column. I have some ideas about how to calculate the average, but any of yours are much appreciated. Also, the row with the type of data (i.e., A or B) is named because this function is part of a larger macro. Therefore, it is relatively easy to get to it. I have attached a version of the file that displays how I want it to look. The code I have thus far is:
I want to create dependent lists using data validation. The lists need to be created from ranges that will be growing as users add more data. I think the best way to create the list is a VLOOKUP. However, I am not sure how to use the VLOOKUP when the range is changing.
I have attached an example. I have a list on sheet "Vlookup" called "FRUIT" with "apple", "orange", "banana". Then to make the depedent lists I have created three other lists called: "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". I want to pull the COST from sheet "VALUES" into the lists "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". Users will be adding costs next to the FRUIT they purchase.
I'm trying to make ranges in a SumProduct formula dynamic, but getting errors #N/A. I think this is because the top two rows are headers, throwing off the range count.
Q. How do I adjust the range definition to compensate., e.g.
Range =Offset(Sheet1!$D$3,0,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),1) where column D is numeric, and
Range = Offset(Sheet1!$T$3,0,0,Match("*",Sheet1!$T:$T,-1),1) where column T is text?
I had assumed that the offset value 3 would do this, but I suspect the functions count and match are not doing so.
I am trying to create a vlookup to get a count of trouble tickets techs completed daily within a table I created, I am using a table since its dynamic. For example I need to see how many tickets Joe completed in a day. See below...
Tech Ticket# Comments Status Joe 1234 Replaced HD Closed John 3212 Replace Motherboard Closed Joe 5678 Installed OS Closed
Above is just an example (my table has 40 columns). I need to vlookup joe and get the count of the closed tickets.
So I was looking for reassurance or validation more than anything. From what I can tell you can in order to build a chart that is dynamic throughout a range, you use the offset and count or counta function - 1. That part isn't a problem. My question is once you created that for your charts do you just normally plot your chart range or do you have to reference the named range directly into the chart range?
I have monthly sales, and i wanna be able to sum the last-twelve month sales, when i select the month from a drop-down list. For example, when i select Feb14 from the drop-down, I want the formula to sum the sales between mar13-feb14. how can i accomplish that?
I have a stock chart that I want to update dynamically if the data record length changes. From the source data menu, I tried to use the following data ranges:
=OFFSET(Candles!$AB$8,1,0,COUNTA($AB:$AB)) ---> Date, x values =OFFSET(Candles!$AD$8,1,0,COUNTA($AD:$AD)) ---> High =OFFSET(Candles!$AE$8,1,0,COUNTA($AE:$AE)) ---> Low =OFFSET(Candles!$AF$8,1,0,COUNTA($AF:$AF)) ---> Close
When I place any of these in the data range box under 'x axis labels or values', I receive the message "This function is not valid".
The MS webpage at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...098011033.aspx describes using these formulas but they don't appear to work.
I am creating a consolidation worksheet. It contains a macro that automatically copy data from other sources and paste it into my DB sheet. It already works, but I want to improve it. The source worksheet databases has been defined with the name “SOURCE”. Is there any way that I can make my macro look for this dynamic ranges directly, copy and paste it into my DB sheet. I am attaching an example of what my current macro is doing.
I've got a spreadsheet that I download a list of information into. The information relates to activities that are taking place e.g. start time, end time, type of activity (e.g. meeting) and duration (which identifies the length of the activity in 30 min slots e.g. 9.30am - 11.30am = 4).
The rest of the columns are labelled to represent the time in 30 min slots starting from 9am. What I would like excel to be able to do is to identify the first cell in the range which would be the cell that represents the start time in the row. Then from this cell fill cells in the row up to the end time with something - it doesn't matter what as long as the cell can be differentiated from the other blank cells in the row.
I don't think that I've explained myself that well so I've attached the spreadsheet for you to look at.
I'm having a fit with this formula; maybe the gurus will show me what I'm doing wrong. I have a list of area numbers along with dollar amounts that go with these area numbers. I have created a named range named "Areas" and another one named "MO_PD".
At the bottom of the worksheet I am doing a recap that takes the area number and sums all the entries in the MO PD column. This approach has been done before with Thomach's help. I'm trying to mimic it, but it's not working for me.
NOTE - I know that I can get around this using a pivot table, but I would like to use this approach for now. I would at least like to know what I'm doing wrong. Also, I'm not totally sure if I did the dynamic named ranges correctly so that may need to be fixed.
I've been working a macro that seems pretty simple, but has been giving me loads of trouble. I have about 20 worksheets in a Workbook, which all have a similar template (i.e. the data I'm interested in starts on row 14), but have different amounts (rows) of data in them. I want a macro that sorts all the data in ascending/descending order according to column Q. The problem that I am running into is not that the macro only works for the sheet that is active when I run the macro as opposed to every single sheet in the workbook ....
I have just upgaded to Excel 2007 and previously used a Dynamic Range Wizard addin in Excel 2003 but it does not work in 2007. I think it originally come from Robert Bruce but can not find it on the web to get an update.
