Non-relative Unique Record ID

May 8, 2009

i'm creating a spreadsheet with records of repair jobs on vehicles that my company is/has performed. the problem is that, the way our system works, there are currently no unique identifiers for jobs, meaning i cannot create a master list with various vlookup tables with only the information relevant for our engineers on them.

is it possible to create a macro or use some other system, that will create a new, unique code when a line/cell is filled in? because we end up sorting the list by different criteria on a regular basis (to find specific jobs) the system can't be relative (i.e. +1 to the code above).

Record Macro Relative To Selection

Jan 27, 2010

This recorded macro inserts a line below the cell that active when it was first recorded. It then copies some text and a formula to the line that was created.

Sub Macro11()
Rows("10:10").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A9:E9").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("H9").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("H10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("F9").Select
End Sub

If you run this macro again at a different cell position, it goes back to the first starting position and repeats the same action. I see that the cell references from the first recording are fixed in the macro. I can't figure out how to make the macro use the new current cell position as the starting positiion when it runs again.

Filter List Where Each Record Have More Than 1 Unique Value Assigned To It

Jun 1, 2006

I am trying to filter a list where the number of occurences of unique cost codes for each emp No is more than 1. What is needed is the emp no's who have only one costcode to have '0' in the 'no of codes' column. If more costcodes per empno, I need the first costcode to have 1, second code 2, etc in 'no of codes' column. The idea is at the end to be able to filter and delete all those with '0' in, as I only need to work with emp no's that have more than 1 'cost code'. See attached file. The records are in col A, the costcodes assigned to them in B, the formula in C, at the moment is:

=IF(AND( COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)>1, COUNTIF(B1:B2,B2)>1),C1, IF(AND(COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)>1, COUNTIF(B1:B2,B2)<2),(C1+1),1))

Count Duplicates As Unique Record, Sum Amount

Mar 14, 2007

I have a spreadsheet will a large amount of invoice numbers, some of which are multiple occurrences of the same number. I need to count the duplicates as one unique record and sum but I need to sum the total $ amount of each amount attached to each occurrence.

Please look at the sample to see what I mean.

W234678 has three amounts that are added to give a total amount for that number and it is added to the count as one record.

I had this code kindly borrowed from someone else which helped me find the duplicates but it is not meeting my needs.

Dim rCell As Range, rRng As Range, vKey, lrow As Long

Set rRng = Range("F2:F199")

With CreateObject("Scripting.dictionary")

.comparemode = vbTextCompare

Now() As Record Id; What Record ID Schemes Are Fequently Employed Besides Date/time

May 25, 2007

I seek advice on using the value of NOW() as a record ID in an address book program. Question #1: Do Excel developers often use a record ID? Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.

I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.

Dim n As Double
n = Now()
sn = Str(n)
p = InStr(sn, ".")
first = Left(sn, (p - 1))
l = Len(sn)
d = l - p
S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................

Flag Record That Has Overlapping Date As Another Record?

Mar 16, 2014

I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.

What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.

Auto Copy Template On Record Entry & Link Set Cells Back New Record Entry Sheet

May 26, 2009

I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.

1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)

2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.

3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab

Macro To Print Record # To Record#

Mar 20, 2009

I'm trying to find a macro that will run allowing the user to select a 'starting record number' and a 'finishing record number' when printing.

I have a spreadsheet that feeds from a master list in excel, from over 5000 records.

I need to print the s'sheet with any given indivdual record's information at any given time.

Individual prints are fine. However if I wanted to print from record number 1500 to record number 3000 it would take me all day.

Is there a way I can set up a macro so an option form pops up? allowing selection of "From record" and "to Record" ?

Record Macro Gives Message "Unable To Record"

Jan 6, 2007

Im trying to record a macro that will enter a formula in a cell each time I run the macro

Drop the Lowest2:

=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10)

Drop Lowest1:

=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10)

I know I can write the formula in a simpler way, but I was asked to make it like this.

The problem is that when I enter the formula in the cell while recording. I got a message: "Unable to record" so this part can't be recorded

Getting Error "Unable To Record" When Record A Macro

Sep 1, 2009

This problem seemed to revolve around "digital signing" with further macro changes done from a different machine (without the proper certificate). Excel warns of the problem and then "unsigns" the project.

I've got a problem with spreadsheets that I've been working on. Now, when I tell it to record a macro, I get the macro name, shortcut assignment dialog box and then an error "Unable to record." After "Ok"ing that dialog box, the normal recording macro dialog comes up. Also, lo and behold, there will not be a macro recorded.

I've got no protected cells or sheets and it doesn't matter what security level is set. It is a "signed" macro but I can take off the signature and still have the problem. I checked for "Help - About" for deactivated modules and there was none.

Assign Unique ID IF Adjacent Cell Has Unique Value?

Jun 5, 2014

I'm trying to think of a way to do this. I need a unique ID number per company, so I would want it to look something like this:

0001: Apple
0001: Apple
0002: Google
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0004: Ford
0004: Ford
0004: Ford

.....and on and on for about 400+ rows. I think I know how to state the condition. IF B15 =/= B14 then....assign unique ID, else A15 = A14....or something to that effect.

# Of Unique Dates Per Unique List Entry

Oct 22, 2009

Each product is represented by a serial number (column A).
The can be sorted on column A from smallest to largest prior to calculating results if that helps.

The repair list contains 1 entry per spare part used, so the same serial number may occur several times.

Furthermore, a product may have been repaired on several instances - so the serial numbers can span several dates (column B).

The solution i am looking for should return the number of unique repair dates per serial number. That way i can see, how many times each product has been repaired. Results can be displayed in an individual column.

Sample list:
Serial........Repair date
207742052008-09-04
207755082008-12-17
207755212008-12-31
207755212009-01-22
207755212009-01-22
207755212009-01-22
207755212009-02-13
207755212009-07-24

Calculating Sum Of Relative Cells

Feb 19, 2009

I work with Excel the more I realize that I'm not that good at it Anyways, I'm in need of a quite advanced formula (for me) that sums up relative relative rows of a specified column. The rows relation depends on the ID-number of the person. Look at my attachment.

In Sheet1 I have an extract of the data I'm working with. It's a medical record of different people in a study. The ID (col. B) seperate the different people. One person can have several perscriptions (spelling?) of medicine. Every perscription has an "fddd", a daily dose (col. L). I want to add up all the daily doses for every seperate ID of my data in Sheet2. So for example, for ID1 I want it to sum L3:L6 in Sheet1 and return it to Sheet2!B2. If the ID is not found I want it to be blank.

Relative Hyperlink References

Jan 24, 2010

I suspect there's a simple answer to this but I've looked and can't find it: In Excel 2003, when I add a hyperlink to another file and close/reopen my workbook, the link is saved as relative to the current workbook. So if the main workbook is moved or, in my case, when I use VBA to copy and email the sheet with the hyperlinks, the links are broken.

Copy Relative Formulas?

Feb 14, 2010

I have two columns. The first is imported NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND CSZ on three lines, repeating over and over again. Several hundred names, addresses, csz. The SECOND column is a formula which picks up ONLY the text name in the first column. The SECOND column will just be one NAME after another, so the formulas will SKIP two rows in the first column. HOW do I copy down / propagate relative formulas to do this

Block Relative Addressing..

Oct 16, 2008

I have a named block, used to sort a list of data. But I names the block one row higher to include the headers, so that inserts at the top row of the data would not fall out of the named range. Then I want to sort the data, but not include the header row.

What I want to say in the sort macro is something like:
cell_range( top_row(Data)-1, Bottom_Row(Data) )

Or, to have two names, with one defined in terms of the other:
Data_sort = Data_big - Toprow(Data_big)

Using Relative Reference In Macros

Feb 4, 2010

a user i'm assisting wants to calculate totals by recording a macro that sums all the rows in a column using relative cell references. this is because the user runs a report that pulls in data that varies. one week the report may contain 40 rows that need to be totaled, and the next week there may be 60 rows that need to be totaled.

here's what i did:place cursor in cell where i want total to appear
go to VIEW menu, MACROS tab, and click USE RELATIVE REFERENCES
click RECORD MACRO
enter name, description, assign shortcut key
go to FORMULAS menu and click AUTOSUM
press RETURN

when i test the macro out on columns containing the same amount of rows, it works fine. but when i run the macro on a column with more rows, it only totals the amount of rows contained in the original macro. see attached.
