Named Range Name In Cell For Use In Formula
Aug 31, 2007
I want to be able to do is to have a text value in a cell which will be the same as a named range and can be called from a formula in another cell. For example, I have three named ranges: JAN, FEB and MAR. Instead of having a formula which might read: =VLOOKUP("bill", JAN, 1, 1)
I would like to have in cell A1 the text value "JAN" so that the formula can read:
=VLOOKUP("bill", A1, 1, 1)
Then I can change which named range is used in the formula but changing the value in cell A1. When I try to do this, the formula just looks up the value as if cell A1 was the range rather than taking the value from A1 as the named range.

I have several named ranges with 4 column each. The named ranges have all the same names but with the tow last digits ranging from 00 to 50 by increments of 5 (ie 00, 05, 10, 15 etc.). The 4 columns for each of the named ranges have the following headings; 10, 100, 50 ,70. I have two cells with drop down lists with the list of the suffixes of the named ranges in cell e5 (ie 00, 05, 10, etc) and in g5 a drop down list with the 4 headings for the columns (10, 100, 50, 70)
I want to refer to these 2 values so that in column B, I can get the values of the column chosen for the given named range. For example, the column "100" for the named range THRESHOLD_10. In cell C1, I entered the following formula ="THRESHOLD_"& E5 which gives me the named range name. I entered the following function in the first cell of column B = index(C1,2,G5) but get a #REF! answer. If I write the following formula =index(THRESHOLD_10,2,G5) I get the right value.
how to get about it, and indirect(C1), but still gets a #REF! message. When I evaluate the formula, the named range appears with quotes "" which might be the reason that it cannot work. I am nearly there...but for the syntax and cannot get that working!

Can you use Row & Column numbers in a Formula the way you can in VBA?
I want to do the same as Range(Cells(5,2)) in VBA EXCEPT in a Formula
because I want to use named ranges for the Row & column entries. (And I don't want to have to run a macro every time a change is made. The spreadsheet is huge enough already. It's slow on my machine & I have the biggets baddest PC in the company!)
Using Formulas only, (not VBA) I would like to create a Dynamic Named Range, LastUsedRow, which is the ROW NUMBER of the Last Used Cell in Column C
(it would = 470)
Also I have an existing Named Range HeaderRowNum (it = 16)
Currently I have a LOT of formulas like:
=SUMPRODUCT(($E17:$E470)*(--(CO17:CO470>0)))
problem is any new data must be added between Rows 17 & 470
So I would like to create dynamic new forumlas to read like:
SUMPRODUCT( (Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,5) : (LastUsed Row,5)) * (--(Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,93) : (LastUsed Row,93))>0) )...............

how to pass a cell content into a formula as a named range? For instance, I have 3 named range (Budget, Actual, Forecast) and I use the named range in vlookup formulas. But instead of using the named range in the formula directly, I want to refer to a cell where I can type in which named range I want to use. Can this be done? I am attaching a sample spreadsheet to clarify what I mean.

I am having a few problems with dynamic named range in excel 2000.
When adding new data to the range, excel extends the range correctly, but only copies some of the formula correctly. It does not copy the formula that references a cell from another line.
I am trying to create a excel spreadsheet and have a formula =e10-e9, which does not copy down.

Let's say you have a named range, Rng1, which consists of cells A1 & A2. In vba how would you report back what, if any, named range the following cells resides:
Code] .....
here are multiple named ranges so using intersect is not feasible. Essentially, through code, I will be given a range and I need to determine if that range if part of a named range.

I have read post re this question but have not been able to answer my problem. I get the error message 'Application defined or object defined error' when running the code below. I should indicate the range counter currently indicated about 6,200 rows that this code will work on and the individual range names in the list of 6,200 rows are spread over at least 20 worksheets.
The code appears to be running but after some time it stops on the line of code 'Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)'.
Sub PopulateWithImportData()
Dim counter As Integer
counter = Sheets("Imported Data").Range("Counter")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Worksheets("imported data").Select
Range("a1").Select
i = 1
Do Until i = counter
Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)
i = i + 1
Loop

I have a named range that expands and contracts based upon the amount of data that is in some column. Call it AllData_UsedRange.
I have another named range that actually refers to a range. Call it AllData.
Column A
Row2 56
Row3 44
Row4 65
AllData is a named range that refers to the range A2:A65536
AllData_UsedRange refers to A2:A4 by way of this formula.
=OFFSET(AllData,0,0,COUNTA(AllData))
How to I obtain an address of AllData_UsedRange in VBA code?
These do not work...
ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange").RefersToRange.Address
Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange"))

I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.

I have several workshts in a file with a summary worksht. I have named ranges of data on each by salesperson. How can I use a formula to get the named range from each tab to show up on the summary sheet. I tried (=Smith!AugustSales), which is the - sheet name Smith and the named range AugustSales, but I get an error.

Lets say that B2:B100 contains a list of numbers, and it is named RANGE1
Is it possible to make by using any formula -another named range (RANGE2) based on the first but contains every 2nd or third cell of the original range.
The solution must avoid creating another column - it has to be one formula that can be used as new named range in any application (chart series...etc.)

I have two spreadsheets. The sourse spreadsheet already has many named ranges which i would like to use for the main spreadsheet to pick up its information. Is there an easy way when using vlookup or the like to name the range in the other spreadsheet?

I know I've asked before but I can neither find my previous question or the answer.
So, once again.... is it possible to refer to a named range in a CSE array formula?
I know how I would type a formula that way -- but I would be happy to see an example.
Most importantly, will it always work? Or are there pitfalls and dangers?

I have as the two logical operators for an IF function the following COUNTA calculation which checks how many blanks are in the range GrdMtx7 and subtracts this from the value in E5 and adds the suffix "Module(s)".
Code:
(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)-1)&" Module(s)",(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)&" Module(s)")))
GrdMtx7 is a non-contiguous range consisting of the following cell references on a second sheet:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$7,'Mod Schedule'!$H$7,'Mod Schedule'!$K$7,'Mod Schedule'!$N$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$7,'Mod Schedule'!$T$7,'Mod Schedule'!$W$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$7
I need for the formula of the IF function to copy down so that it refers to F5, G5, H5, I5...etc.
I also need for the non-contiguous named range GrdMtx7 to refer to the same non-contiguous range shifted down one row intact for the COUNTA function to operate on the next row down, such that COUNTA is checking for blanks in the range:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$8,'Mod Schedule'!$H$8,'Mod Schedule'!$K$8,'Mod Schedule'!$N$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$8,'Mod Schedule'!$T$8,'Mod Schedule'!$W$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$8
I can't get got to work at all using OFFSET and would rather not create dozens or hundreds of named ranges incrementing one at a time - is there a way to achieve this, preferably with a formula, but vba if absolutely necessary.
My best effort doesn't work:
Code:
(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,))-1)&" Module(s)",(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,)))&" Module(s)")

I have a named range which refers to: =MATCH(LARGE($G$5:$G$68,ROW(G5)-4),G$5:G$68,0)+4. It is supposed to find the largest figure in the adjacent column, list its row in cell H5, then the second largest for cell H6 and so on until the end of the data. The data in column G is dynamic and some cells will contain "0" with certain sections of data thus why I need a formula and cannot just use sort each time.
My problem is that when I use the formula as a named range I get "#N/A" and when I evaluate the formula I will get the answer but in array brackets (e.g.{17}) before the final step turns it to "#N/A". The formula will work fine if inputted directly into the cell but as the same formula will be used over three columns and numerous rows I would much prefer to use a named range.

I need method, using a button, that looks at a cell--say EO2, for example--, looks back on a master worksheet at a specified row and range for a match, then looks at the information from a specified range below the matching cell (The information in this column will either be blank or have an "X" in the cell), and then those rows that do not have an "X" will be hidden in the corresponding rows in the working worksheet. Therefore, if at any time the value in "EO2" ever changes, then it will automatically find a new match and repopulate and hide information as before. About 130 columns will have its own button so that a "query" can be made that depends on the information in a particular cell in that column.
The master worksheet now has matrix of 287 rows and 58 columns. Each row is for an operating procedure and each column shows a job code. An "X" in a coordinate cell for a column/row shows whether that job code is responsible for knowing that operating procedure. So, on the working sheet, an employee's primary job code is given underneath his or her name. When the button is pushed, all the operating procedures not required for a given person will be hidden and only the required ones will remain visible--grouped, if you will. Qualification dates will be easier to see now that the information is consolidated. Whenever someone transfers to a new position, a new code will be inputed on the working sheet. When the button is pushed, a new grouping will result. Any operating instructions that overlap will still have qualification dates, so that information will not need to be transcribed.

I am trying to put a SUMIF formula at the bottom of the data. Doing it manually is fine, but I want some vba to automate it, and my vba doesnt work.
Sub balance()
'adds journal line so journal balances in each month
Dim Rga As Range
Dim Rgb As Range
Dim Rgc As Range
Dim Rgd As Range
Dim Rge As Range
Dim Rgf As Range
This code just inserts text into the formula, rather than the range of cells.

I have a problem creating a circular reference with dynamic ranges. I have searched already but can't find the specifc problem. I have a spreadsheet where I use vba code to insert extra columns. Within the worksheet there are sum calculations at the end of each row. When I add a new column within the table I would like the sum calculation to expand to account for this extra column.
Now, I thought that dynamic ranges would be the way to go but the only way I can see to do it creates a circular reference as the CountA function trys to count the cell with the sum function in it.

Basically on a summary page, on sheet 1 say I have a formula which picks up the unit cost (I have this as an array across 5 years)
What I then want to do is multiply this by a volume driver. I have a list of these drivers on a seperate page, so for convenience lets say DRIVER_01,DRIVER_02 etc. These are also 5 years arrays.
So what I want to do it be able to select which driver I want to use for volume on the summary, from a drop down box I have set up, and then the formula pick up that named range, and not just recognise it as a text cell.
I need the ability to change the driver in the future, hence the drop down box. I can also get the unit array part to work fine, I'm just struggling to get this driver array to work..............

Might it be possible to revise the parameters of a range name via the contents of a cell?
For instance:
A1 B1
Date A1:A10
If I change the contents of B1 to A1:A15 can that redefine the parameters of the range named Date from A1:A10 to A1:A15?

I'm trying to make my named ranges remember the values of the last active cells used within another named range. The purpose of this is to make my charts dynamically change dependant on two criteria selected. My spreadsheet currently updates itself as and when I change the active cell within a single named range, dynamically changing the chart data by using Lookup based on the active cells value. However I want to get away from having several charts showing, I would like to have a single chart which dynamically changes based on a second selection. So the first selection is for a department (Facility) which changes the chart data relevant to that department, the second selection is to dynamically change the chart shown for the pre selected department.
Picture2.jpg
Using the following code when updating just one criteria with several charts
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(ActiveCell, [MeasureType]) Is Nothing Then
[valMeasurePicked] = ActiveCell.Value [code].....
which works fine but I'm not sure how to add a second selection criteria because my code uses Activecell. I thought that the VBA needed to set the last used value of a range as a variable and therefore allow the second criteria to be selected but am not sure how to put it into practice.

I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.

I've got a workbook set up. One tab has a bunch of named ranges, let's say Tables 1-6. The second tab has vlookups for selected values from a sharepoint data pull (in order to parse through the sharepoint stuff, most of it is nonsense).
What I am trying to do is write a formula for cell E2 that:
-Step 1: Looks into whichever range the user specifies, 1-6 (probably using the indirect function).
-Step 2: Searches the specified range for text found in cell F2 (a string of text with values from one or more of the ranges 1-6)
-Step 3: Returns the text.
