Offset / Match With Named Range
Mar 7, 2014
I have a problem with an offset match function. What I want to do is look at the value in cell C3 and then match it to a location in a named range and then return the value 8 rows above. The problem is the named range contains non contiguous cells i.e. D10:AE10, D22:AE22, D34:AE34. So if the value appeared in the area D10:AE10 it would return the value in the matching column row 2. How to do this I have tried lots of combinations but they just come out #N/A.

I use the standard OFFSET-COUNT-MATCH method to create dynamic named ranges in my Excel projects. Needless to say, this method won't work on a spreadsheet with formulas extending beyond the current range. The count function counts the cells containing formulas, even though they may contain no data. Does anyone know how to construct a formula that will IGNORE the "formula only" cells??

I know how to create a dynamic named range so that no blanks appear in my data validation list but have only ever done this for a list in a column, i.e...
-----A-----
1--Apple
2--Orange
3--Pear
4--Bannana
5--
6--
A1:A6 would be named Fruit, then name manager, edit: =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNT($A1:$A6),1)
The Data Validation list then shows Apple, Orange, Pear, Bannana. And if I add Peach into A5 later, that then appears in the list.
What I need though is to edit this as if the named range 'Fruit' covers cells A1:F1.
------A---------B-------C--------D-----------E-----------F
1--Apple---Orange---Pear---Bannana---
2--

I have data coming into my sheet from an Access file into columns b:l which automatically get covered by a named range which changes according to the size of the data coming in.
What I'd like to create is a named range which includes this original range as well as columns a and m:p. Is this possible using Offset at all?
On top of this my data from Access comes into row 2 and I'd like the named range to cover row 1 too.

I have used Offset() for creating dynamic Named Ranges in Excel 2003. I'm a little disturbed that this usage is no longer supported in Excel 2007? Has anyone else seen this breakdown? What alternatives are available.
In my brief investigation, it looks like opening the .xls in compatibility mode allows the usage to work. However, saving the workbook as a .xlsm (since I also have macros in it) causes any usage of the named range containing Offset() to return an error (both VBA and sheet functions).

When I make a dynamic named range, I typically do something like:
=offset($A$1,,,counta(A:A),counta(1:1))
I remember awhile ago I saw (within some of the comments on Jon Peltier's site, I believe) a way to make a dynamic named range without using offset. Does anyone know how to do it?

I've created a named range "Row_16" H16:M16. I've made a macro which colors the interior of this range..
Sub Fill_Row16()
Range("Row_16").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 48
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub
I would also like to add a secondary color (Red) to the row just below this range ie H17:M17. Is there a way to offset/ select an entire range.?

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 three columns of data in columns A,B,C - there are formulas in these columns that either produce a numeric value or return blank.
I have created Dynamic Named Ranges for each of them and have entered the following formula:
=OFFSET(Working!$A$1,1,0,MATCH(1E+305,Working!$A:$A,1))
My issue is that this formula is looking one row past the last numeric entry in the column (a blank) which is leaving a blank space when I graph this data.

I know that I can return the value of a defined name range, the address, and even the value of the define name, but if you are given a range address, how do you find its corresponding defined name in code?

I have been trying to figure out how to solve an issue. Each month I have a group of customers with data, about 7 columns, and the number of rows varies each month, in the thousands. I want to compare the group from one month to the next. I have been trying to use a named range and have something in VB that compares or matches the ranges. Is this possible? I am having a terrible time getting it to work.
I need to know what has changed, remained the same or completely dropped off. I need the entire row of information carried to a new sheet named "results". The information will be in a workbook with the prior month sheet named prior month data and the new month as current month data. There are headers to row 7.

I'm looking to use a do until/loop code to find a cell that equals a named range ("Clause") that is located on another worksheet, the code I have so far is:

I've used something similar before and works, but I just cant get it to work. The values that I need to find the match to the ("Clause") cell are directly below the original activecell.

Is it possible to use Match to find a value within a Named range and then, based on that value, use Match and Index again to find a value two columns across?
I have a list of clients in Column A, with 10 cells between each. In Column B, I have a list of currencies (the same currencies next to each client) and in Column C the rate this client pays for this currency. I want to reference these rates from an external workbook. Is there any way to use Match to locate the client name, then use Index/Match to locate the rate for a particular currency, somehow telling Excel where to look the second time?

I keep losing my named ranges when attempting to reopen a particular file I am working on. I get the "excel found unreadable content....." error message and then when it corrects, the range names are all gone. is it efficient to create the named ranges at open? Otherwise how should it be done so that my workbook will definitely have these names each time its used?

I am a novice excel and VBA user, but have been working the past few days on a project to create a data entry form (using Excel 2003 on WinXP). I have the userform created and the textboxes working fine for inputting data into the spreadsheet. I also have comboboxes set up, and if I directly input data into them, they also input that data. So far, so good.
(problem)
Here is my issue: I want the comboboxes to use dynamic / variable ranges, so I have been trying to set up the ranges by defining them as names. I've come across a bunch of examples, but none of them seem to work (all produce an error that the formula is not correct or instead seem to reset the name to just the first cell when I input it).
My sheet is called Dropdown Lists, and there is a column here for each combobox. Each row in a column has the options I'd like used for that combobox. So I am basically trying to name a range as the entries in just one column.
This is what I have been working with most recently in the Name - > Define dialog box that according to everything I read -SHOULD- be working:
=OFFSET('Dropdown Lists'!$A$3,0,0,COUNTA('Dropdown Lists'!$A:$A),1)
This produces an error, that when you hit OK highlights "$A$3" - and if I remove the $ symbols, it skips then to the "$A:$A" until I remove THOSE $ symbols, and then excel will accept it, but when I go to the name, it only highlights one cell. I thought maybe that was OK, but when I tried putting the name into my rowsource, nothing happened - so apparently not.
Questions:
(main question)
- Why will this not input correctly when everything I read suggests this format? Am I not handling the space in the worksheet name correctly (with ' ')? Sometimes excel will automatically add in " " between = and OFFSET and the closing at the end, but this also has not helped. One source I read even recommended taking off the = at the start (also did not help). Am I missing something here?
(follow-up questions)
- Why are you supposed to use "$" before the cell references anyway? I've looked for an answer but haven't found one yet... is that for when you make cell references to cells on an external worksheet?
- What is the "Add" button for on the Name -> Define dialog box? I'm confused to if I am supposed to use this to add the name to the list of defined names, or just hit OK?
- At the bottom of the Name -> Define dialog box is the "Refers To:" field with the formula. On the right of that you can hit a button to go to what seems like another (smaller) formula input box. Why would I ever use that when I could just type it in on the previous box? There is no label for it so I am guessing here - but does it actually do something else (like you need to go to that smaller dialog to input new formulas and the previous box is only for -viewing- formulas, or?)?

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'm trying to lookup a string in a column from another sheet and than return the row on which that string was found. I have two files, one in which my OFFSET/MATCH worked and another in which they didn't work properly.
My problem is this: I have multiple instances of a string in a column and i want to get all the info on that string (the rest of the columns). Let me explain in examples.
In column A on Sheet 2 i have
4 2 4
2 3 4
5 3 2
2 2 2
4 1 3
I need to have in Sheet 1:
4 2 4
4 1 3
Where the first 4 (bolded) is the reference value.
In sheet 1 i have a column A2 which is the reference. In column B2 i have
=MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A1:A16051;1) - this worked on a file but returned a bad value on the other (donno why)
In the second file i used =MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A2:A10552;0)+1 which returned the good value.
For the second value (row 4 1 3) i used =IF(OFFSET('Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0)=A2;OFFSET(Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0);0). This worked well on the first file but didn't work on the second.
I got the commands above from someone that used to update this file so i don't know exactly how they work

=IF(MATCH($A7,$BX$15:$BX$112,0)>150,"",OFFSET($BX$14,MATCH($A7,$BX$15:$BX$112,0),1))
If there is not match, I get #N/A in the cell. I would prefer to get a value of zero (or ""). I've been experimenting with ISNA and ISERROR.

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 in col J a series of values, these can be negative and positive numbers of any value. In col D I have the time (starting at midnight each day) that the values occured in col J. I am trying to look down col J until a value >= 50 is reached, I then want to look across at the corresponding cell in col D to find out what time this event occured. So, if a value of 50 or more is found in cell J232 for instance, I want to look across at cell D232 and extract the time found in that cell.

I have one condition which needs to be matched. This code I wrote can find the first instance and then offset data to another worksheet accordingly.
My question is whether than can be done for every other instance that appears on my sourcesheet 'Invoicing'. I have considered putting a loop in, but this will only find the first instance over and over again which is pointless.

I'm having trying to set up a new
workbook to pull selected results from an existing one. I am trying to figure
out the formula/function for cells B2:D3 on workbook2:
EXISTING WORKBOOK1:
(Col A is dynamic range 'name', Col B is dynamic range 'product', Col D is
dynamic range 'mtd')
A B C D
Joe P1 7
P2 1
P3 2
Total 10
Jill P1 3
P2 4
P3 1
Total 8
NEW WORKBOOK2
A B C D
P1 P2 P3
Joe 7 1 2
Jill 3 4 1
I entered the following as an array formula in cell B2 and it works fine to
return the proper result of 7:
=INDEX('workbook1.xls'!mtd,MATCH("Joe"&"P1",'workbook1.xls'!name&'workbook1.xls'!product,0))
This does not work to return the results for P2 or P3, I am assuming because
I need some sort of an offset for the different rows in workbook1.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. First I want
to locate the proper name in workbook 1 and then the proper product under
that name and finally pull the mtd col D result for that product and name.

I'm trying to create a formula that would return the value of the column next to it. Looking at the below example, in a new cell I would want to be able to return the value 7 based on the fact that it is in category b.
I would think an if/offset/match function would do this but I can't seem to figure it out as it may require nesting.

a1
a2
a3
a4
a5

I am using an offset match formula to look at a named range of data and create a validation list of property address's based on certain criteria in cell d1.
My question is it appears the information which is status information seems to have to be sorted, otherwise the list doesnt work properly.
is there another formula to accomplish this with out having to sort the criteria in cell d1 ??
This is the formula i am curently using, it works great if "ListStatus" is sorted and not if unsorted.
=OFFSET(AddressDisplay,MATCH($D$2,ListStatus,0)-1,0,COUNTIF(ListStatus,$D$2))

I googled for the last couple of days but can't find this site again. I have found several that come close like Dave's at http://www.ozgrid.com/News/excel-dynamic-ranges-vba.htm

How to use offset in combination with match and vlookup. Well I think I have to use Offset to find the value ( cell with time in it).
I have in my workbook 3 sheets: Sheet1, Sheet2 and Agents.
In 'Sheet2' every week I upload a report with persons and every person has a certain amount of time behind their name.
In 'Sheet1' I want to get (load) the data: the person and time from 'Sheet2'.
In 'Agents' I only match the names. That's because the names in the report I upload in 'Sheet2' have a different lay-out then the ones I use.
The matching and to get the names correct in 'Sheet1' Is no problem. Though I get stuck with the cells where the time is placed in the report I upload in 'Sheet2'.
The persons are in Column C ( C7, C26, C45, C64 etc) but the value I also need to get is not in line behind the names. It's In the 7th row under the name and in Column L.
Example:
Wiebe (C7) time ( L14)
Gary (C26 time ( L33)
Kay (C45) time ( L52)
What I use to match the names and get data is this formula.
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A:$L;MATCH(VLOOKUP(Sheet1!$A2;Agents!$A:$E;5;0);Sheet2!$C:$C;0);MATCH(B$1;Sheet2!$1:$1;0))
Is it possible to use Offset ( or something different) in this formula to also get the cells with the time ( matching with the right person)
