I'm trying to simply reference a cell from another tab in the same workbook. In other words I press "=" and then point to the cell in another tab and I would expect to see that value - however I don't. What I see, as an example, is: ='Nav&SPDiary'!B24 instead of the cell value (which I know exists because I've just pointed to it.
Anyone have ANY idea why all of a sudden it's started to do this? The most annoying thing is it worked fine before and now it doesn't do what I want...
I am working in Excel 2003. I consider myself a little more experienced than a beginner, but not quite an intermediate. My problem is, I am doing percentage changes comparing the average year-to-date data of 2009 through 2012, and then I am attempting to get the percentage change of the current year-to-date data to the average of the aforementioned years.
I took an average of these numbers, that are pulled from other worksheets. The cells are set as "General".
112241 = 1.833333333 or rounded, 2 divided by 1 (the current year to date total), the result is -45%, which should be -50% decrease. The percent cell is set at percentage.
It appears the cells are not automatically rounding up.
Example: I renamed cell A1 to Apple, A2 to Banana, A3 to Chair. Down in cell a50 I was using simple formulas a1+a2*a3. then copying the formula into column b50, c50,... Now when I use the formula SUM(Apple+Banana*Chair) and try to copy it into cell b50, It doesnt change the formula to SUM(B1+B2*B3).
I am trying to write a macro which highlights all the cells with any reference to other cell. The macro should highlight a cell with formula like = 3 * A25 but not highlight a cell with following formula. = 3 * 0.4535566. 'Hasformula' property is not useful here as it can't distinguish between above examples.
When I run the macro, some columns are already hidden. The macro doesn't seem to autosize cells correctly. For instance, one cell in a row appears to have some contents hidden (or below the reading area of the cell). In other instances, the rows are auto-size to huge heights and widths.
I have a long list of amounts one per day. Sun-Sat repeating. I Total the amounts for each week and place it next to Sun. now i have the total for that billing week.
I need to reference these numbers from a different sheet that only has one row per week. I tried to do ='sheet1'!a2 then next row down ='sheet1'!a9 and ='sheet1'!a16 etc then fill down but when i do it seems to start again and do a3, a10 and a17.
Is there a way I can get it to only use cells with figures in them? IE if cell is empty then move down one else use the amount in cell... or how do I get it to reference 7 cells below each time rather than the next immediate cell.
I would like a formula that checks for blank cells only between C1:C10 and E1:E10 and then insert the first and last names of the person associated with these blank cells (which are located in A1:10 and B1:B10) on another worksheet, which for the sake of argument can be called 'sheet2'.
I need assistance referencing cells in other sheets. I have a summary tab which I would have each refenced sheet listed (named for the activity being billed). In a separate cell in the summary tab, I want to bring back the value of the total amount billed for that activity. The total value is in the same cell of each sheet, as all invoice tabs needing to be referenced are identical in layout.
There is one hitch to this, the sheets referenced have not yet been created (that would be too too easy), and the activity list in the summary sheet has place holder names that will change when the activity being billed is defined (hence prompting the biller to create the sheet to be referenced).
Say I have a column with cell values 4, 0, 0, 5, 0 , 0, 0, 2, 0, 3
What I am trying to do is have in the next column a formula which returns the number adjacent to it multiplied by the number of blanks between it and the next non-blank cell.
So, for the example above, the output would be 8, 0, 0, 15, 0, 0, 0, 2 etc
My current worksheet is being built for use in Eve-Online, a game I play. In specific, I am keeping track of profit made by manufacturing different items in the game. I am trying to build it like this:
Column 20 is a list of items, and the next 7 cells to the right of each item contain the mineral requirements for that item. So C20 says Bantam Frigate, C21-C28 will all contain numbers. Now, I am trying to create a function in the upper-right cells (like A1-A8) where if I type in "Bantam Frigate" into A1, A2-A8 will fetch the numbers that I put into C21-C28.
Now, I will be working with thousands of items, so I have to make sure I name both the 'database' and the query exactly right, but that's not a problem to me. Can I make something that will reference a value from (cell+1 column right) or (cell+2 columns right)
I have a row of cells on one "Sheet1." I am trying reference these cells into a column on "Sheet2." I know I can reference one cell at a time, but I have a large number of cells in the row on Sheet1 and I know that there has to be an easier way to do it, I am just not excel-savvy enough to know what it is.
I know you can copy and "paste special" (transpose), I am just wondering how to do that while referencing. I have heard that the "offset" function can be used, but after extensive trial and error, I haven't figured it out.
I have set up a spreadsheet in order to track and calculate the number of students we teach at our organization. It is running prohibitively slow when entering new data. On one sheet each individual session is entered (the school, program, date, number of hours etc.) This is the Session worksheet.
On the next sheet(the Program worksheet) the maximum number of students for each unique program (this is usually a combination of school and the program) is calculated to ensure we are not counting students we teach weekly as new students. This is calculated using a formula:
:{=MAX(IF(Session!G:G=Program!A2,Session!D:D))}. "Session!G:G" = the unique program name on the Session worksheet. "Program!A2" = the unique program name on the Program worksheet. "Session!D:D" = the number of students in that individual session...........
Data is input onto sheet 1, this is copied into sheets 2, no real problem there. However i need to enter data onto sheet 3 and if that data appears on sheet 2 i want the line, not just the cell to be coloured on sheet 2. The data on sheet 3 will not be in any specific order in the column
I have tried conditional formatting but keep getting a message to say it cant be done and offering a formula which i dont understand.
I'm trying to reference text from one worksheet to another. The data is all in column A on the "Template" worksheet, however the row varies (ie starts at row 5, then 7 the 9 etc). The cell row is always +2 rows on the previous row, and column A.
What can I use to pull across the cells with the information that I want, onto the "Report" worksheet?
Applying my indirect formula to the rest of the cells in my sheet properly.
I am getting the values of cells in other sheets, using INDIRECT to use cell values to name the sheets. Here is an example of how the cells are now...
A B
1 Sheet 1 =(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ....
The formulas in B1 are going to return the value of A5 in "Sheet 1" (or whatever value is in A1) and B2 will return the vale cell A5 in 'Sheet 2. The next line will be the value of A6 in Sheet 1, and the next will be A6 in Sheet 2 and so on.
So I have quite a few rows to get through I want to be able to autofill so it looks like this...
A B
1 Sheet 1 =(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
2 Sheet 2 =(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
As it is now, when I autofill, it autofills the Sheet name part of it. It is looking like this...
A B
1 Sheet 1 =(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
Excel isn't intuitive enough to know I want to move cells in the referenced sheet.
I have a workbook that has a number of sheets with various project stages and dates on them. These details are arranged in small tables displayed vertically down the page. Each worksheet's name is the project code - e.g. 30033_99
I have now been asked to create an overview page that displays all these stages and dates on one page. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to look at the column with the project code and then pull information from the worksheet with that name.
I am trying to find a way to create new sheets in a workbook that when created will reference a new row on a data sheet in that workbook. Each workbook could end up containing varying numbers of sheets (anywhere from 2 to 150+) based on size limitations. There are some lookups and referenced data on each sheet that would be copied as is and not reference the data sheet. I have not included these in my example.
I'm trying to avoid having to change each cell's reference manually for all of these sheets (which is one of the solutions I've come up with so far). My current method of creating these workbooks does not involve the data sheet and each workbook starts off with data only on sheet1. I select and copy that sheet into sheet2 and every subsequent sheet. I want to incorporate the data sheet so it can be filled out by someone else and copied into that tab to populate all of the data sheets.
I've tried to a create code from examples in previous posts but I can't seem to figure out how to get what it is that I'm looking for.
I'm trying to reference the value in cell O9 which would be a number.
Preceding this value, I would like to have the word "Rev" displayed. Just underneath those values, I would like to reference the value in O7 which is a date (3/27/2014 for example). I would like the footer to be updated anytime that cells O9 or O7 are updated.
These values would be placed in the right side of the footer of the active worksheet, and be displayed on each page that is printed out.
I'm using two comboboxes to simplify data query of a database: the first narrows the query by displaying employee names, the second narrowing the selection further by displaying the equipment that employee owns. I am able to populate both comboboxes fine.
The first combo box for employee names:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("User&EquipOverview")
[Code]....
Where I am running into trouble is that I want the selection made with the equipment name combobox (ComboDevice) to populate several textboxes with values related to that specific selection in the database. That is, the combobox population needs to have the cell location included as information to pull the correct information.
Each employee has several pieces of similarly named equipment, so it's not so easy as to search the initial list for the value of the combobox selection.
Which pulls data in from another sheet in the workbook. If the referenced cell is empty, this has value 0.
I'd like to then include this cell in the calculation of an average, ignoring it if the cell it pulls from is empty but including it if that cell contains 0.
I have a dataset with over a 1000 rows. I just pulled one row in my dataset as an example. My formula above finds the last cell with a value in the 2 row, finds the year associated with it in the first row, and pulls the year from the first row. What I am trying to find the last value highlighted red and pulling the year associated with it in the first row.
In cells A1 to A4 I have 4 numbers (8,7,12 and 15). In cells B1 and B2 are the numbers 1 and 4
Now I want to use the max function to find the highest value in the cells A1 to A4. But instead of typing =max(a1:a4) I want to use other cells that tell excel where to look. What I exactly want is to say =max("a"&B1:"a"&B2) because in B1 and B2 the rows are indicated from which to which excel shall find the maximum.
I have a worksheet that pulls data from an ODBC datasource (import, External Data). The datasource is a SQL server 2005 database.
the query's sql is complex enough that it says it cannot be represented graphicly.
part of the WHERE clause fro my query specifies a date range for one of the date fields.
I am wondering if from within the SQL query in Microsoft Query I can reference the value of a cell. that way i coudl have the user enter his date range values in two specific cells.
