I'm struggling to find a way to reference a non-contiguous range of cells in the IRR function. I've got the initial cost in one cell (b17), and the annual cash flows in a single row (c12:w12), separate from the cell containing cost.
I have several tables on one sheet, each of which has a Grand Total value at the bottom right of the summed data range
I have manually selected (using ctrl + left mouse click) each Grand Total cell and defined all these cells as a Named Range called Grand_Totals
I thought it would be possible to reference each of the cells in the Grand_Totals range individually.
The =Index function works fine if the data is contiguous but I can't figure out how to get anything other than the first element of the Grand_Totals range
So for example
Lets say the cells of the Grand_Totals non-contiguous named range are F10,N10,F30,N30,F50,N50
How would I reference the third element/cell (F30) in this range. I should point out that I actually need to reference all the cells in the Grand_Totals range and the range has a lot more than 6 cells
I have a split named range covering non-contiguous areas, ie:
Name: status_web
Range: =$F$14:$I$122,$F$700:$I$746,$F$798:$I$830,$F$905:$I$933
This appears to work fine when selecting the name however it returns a #VALUE! error when using it in a formula, eg: = COUNTIF(status_web, "*p*"). Is there any way to get this to work, or do I need a separate named range for each contiguous section? NOTE: Not sure whether this extra fact would through a spanner in the works, but I am referencing this named range from a separate workbook.
I am running Excel 2003 on a Win7 system.
Here is my situation:
Each of my data sets spans roughly 75 columns by 250 rows at present, but this could expand. The first 7 rows contain metadata. Columns 2-25 or so contain the raw data, from which everything to the right is calculated. The data sets have most columns in common, but not necessarily all.
In order to tease out the most meaningful information from my data, I frequently sort all or part of it based on varying criteria. When I find a useful sorting criterion, I create a new column with a header that describes the criterion and populate it with a formula that returns a 1 if the condition of interest is met for that row, or a 0 if it is not. For example, if I am doing this in column AA, I might enter
=--(AND($AX8>$AA$4,$Y8>0))
and copy it down to the end of the data. The resulting vector of 1s and 0s quickly re-identify data that meets that criterion even after subsequent resorting. It also makes locating data that meets multiple sorting criteria extremely simple. Essentially, I create a truth table.
Cell $AA$4 in the above example contains a "comparator" value I might wish to change at some point, which would change the subset of data the condition selects for.
Here's the first hard part:
For each data set, I need the ability to generate meaningful plots that includes separate series based on the criteria I have described. However, I also need to retain the ability to resort the data or change the comparator value without disrupting these plots. In other words, the plots must NOT change when the order of the data is changed, but MUST change to display the appropriate data when the comparator changes.
Here's the 2nd hard part:
Once I have this working for one data set, I need to be able to port it to other data sets (which are contained in other workbooks), so that I can compare equivalent plots from each. I also need to minimize the number of manual steps involved in doing so, to avoid human errors and excessive time consumption.
The only other possible complication I can think of at the moment is that, to this point, I have been inserting blank rows to isolate subsets that I do not wish to perform further sorting on from each other.
Right now I am angling toward VBA code that loops through the entire data set to generate base dynamic ranges using the column header row (row 1) as the names, and the entire column of data for the rangeloops through the truth table columns to generate "branch" row ranges for each of the sorting conditions,loops through the entire data set one more time to create "branch" ranges for each of the base ranges.
I could generate some code to accomplish a one-off solution for a given configuration of a single data set (provided there is not a list length limit in a chart series that I'd be violating)...but without a dynamic named range, I don't know how to get to something that would update appropriately. So in essence, I am still stuck at the dynamic range part of this.
I would like to be able to count the amount of entries in column C and depending on the amount group them in either groups of 3 or 4, all names would be unique...so if there are 14 names in the list they would need to be grouped in to two groups of 4 and two groups of 3, if there were 19 then 4 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 etc to a maximum 50 people, the results could appearon a seperate worksheet say pasted on to the worksheet starting with the groups of 3 (so paste a group of 3 then skip 3 rows then paste groups of 4 skip 2 rows, the row skipping is to allow seperation and manual entry of extra data). There will never be groups of 5 or more and never less than 3

I am trying to use excel to score a test. I want to tick a cell to do so. There is an excellente information about Tick Cell Upon Selection, posted here http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-checkbox-tick-cell.htm. Its range is limited to (A1:A100)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
Target.Font.Name = "Marlett"
If Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "a"
Else
Target = vbNullString

How can I increase the range so it would target C1:C30, E1:E30 ( total of 17 columns)?.
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I have a table that displays data from another worksheet. This is what the cell reference behind the table look like:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB
ABC
CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)
I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?
Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1

2Bob
3Fred
Week2

2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?
I have a rather large database that I'm trying to automate colours in, based on data that is inserted into Column 'D'. I've used the following code (with some success), but it colours columns that I don't want to colour:
VB:
Sub KeyCellsChanged()
Dim Cell As Object
For Each Cell In Range("D1:D5000")
[Code].....
That works fine - but the problem I have is that I only want to colour columns A:N, Q, T, V, AB:AE, etc. (random columns and not always together). I have already tried to replace parts (as follows), but get all sorts of errors (in particular Run-time error 1004):
VB:
If Cell = "Rabbit" Then
Cell.Range("A:N,Q, T, V, AB:AE").Interior.ColorIndex = 42
Is there someway that a line of code can determin which cells to colour in the row, or alternatively code that will colour the columns a specific colour and make them stay that colour when the first code above is used?

I want to get the average of various non-contigous columns, ex:
Column B G X Z
10 0 6 8
However, I need to exclude any zero values. In this case the correct average is 8. I have used various sumif's and Average(IF) functions without success.
I can find the min value excluding zero in a range of contiguous cells, but how can I do it if the cells are A1, A3, A25, A67, etc?

I want to be able to filter my data set, so for example I can filter column A for the value Berkshire, I then want to be able to select all the Berkshire's in Column A (not a problem, simply select them and copy), but I then need to be able to paste them into column B, so they appear in exactly the same rows as they do in Column A, but this doesn't work, it pastes them into hidden cells as well.
I've tried the Alt + ; (Visible Cells Only) option, followed by copy and paste and this makes no difference.
I have over 20,000 rows of data to filter, then copy the relevant cells and move to the same row in another column and currently I'm having to move the cells one by one which is ludicrous.
I have a spreadsheet that I have developed at work to track sales related data. As part of the reporting for this data, it is sorted by date. I have been asked to capture some additional related data and due to the structure of the spreadsheet(that has been in use several months with no issues) I can not put the additional data in adjacent columns without doing a complete redesign of the format.
I can place the data several columns away.... The data "in the middle" is static and is used for other calculations and should not be sorted. Is there a way to sort both ranges of data WITHOUT disturbing the columns separating them and keep the proper relationship with the data?
See attached for a very simple example. In this data set the "original" data was in range A2:E11 the "New" data is in Range I2:M11. It would make life simple if I could do something like this (but it sorts everything in between)

I know how to find the last row of a continuous range. it's simply:
Code:

How do you find the last row of a non-contiguous range though? Assume the range is vertically laid out and I don't want to do any looping.

I want a EXTENSION VARIABLE ROWS of teh JPG formula ( for "copy down")
Is it possible to re-size a non-contiguous range? I'm guessing "no", and a Google trawl hasn't provided me with anything.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
dim mult_rng as range
dim rng2 as range
set mult_rng = range("A1:B1,D1:E1")
set rng2 = mult_rng.resize(rowsize:=10)
That is, my original range is comprised of non-contiguous cells in the same row. When re-sizing, I'm trying to increase the number of rows, but leave the columns the same.
Like I said, my gut instinct says that this isn't possible using the 'resize' property. Can anyone think of another method to use? My constraints are that the original mult_rng isn't always the same (and isn't always non-contiguous).
I execute custom Insert and Delete macros whenever when the user has selected a single contiguous range of rows to insert or delete.
But I don't know how to detect if the user has selected multiple, non-contiguous rows. Is there a way to detect this situation, and if so, is there a way to "loop" through the individual selections?
I want data to columns A, C and E, while I have important data in columns B and D. Should I make three queries? Should I make query and save the results to temporary place and then move all the results to those columns A, C and E?
Right now the copying happens like this:
If Not rsData.EOF Then
rngTarget.CopyFromRecordset rsData
Else
MsgBox "No records returned.", vbCritical
End If
So should I do
1) One query and move everything in the right places
2) Multiple queries
3) Something else
Does this depend a lot about how many results I expect? I'd say likely about 100, maybe less than 1500, never more than 10000
I have a workbook that is used for storing test results that relate to people in different groups.
B4, C4, D4 are the surname, first name and group headings. This is what I want to filter by.
Column E is empty
F,G,H,I,J,K are the results.
Column L is empty
M is total of results
What I want to do is set an autofilter from B-L, only have drop downs on B,C,D. But in addition to this I want to have it that the range can dynamically change if another column of results is inserted.
To calculate my formulas in the worksheet I named/defined M4 as 'Total' so that I could then offset from this named cell to determine the range of test result columns, which works well. I just don't know how to do this in vba.
I have this to just get the autofilter running:
With ActiveSheet
.Unprotect ("password")
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Range("B4:L4").AutoFilter
.Protect ("password")
End With
I need the range to be B4: offset of the cell 'total' 0,-1
and I need to loop through from F - offset of the cell 'total' 0,-1 and turn the dropdown off on each of these headers.
