Paste Values From Cell With Formula That Will Update With Changes?
Jun 26, 2014
I have a cell with a fairly long formula for concatenating a large number of other cells. Let's call it cell "A". Due to the formatting and end use of the data in cell "A", I have to copy and only paste the values of that cell into another cell, which I'll call cell "B". What I need to know is whether there is a way for the values in cell "B" to automatically update in the same way they do in cell "A" when data changes in any of the cells that are being concatentated.
I have a little bit of problem with lookup function. When i paste values from another worksheet (paste special, values) in a cell which is lookup value i get #N/A. These values are numbers. When i put '7 for example i get the values i want from lookup table. I have a lot of these cells and its tedious job to put ' in front of every value. Is there a quicker solution?
it's a search loop which runs the following when the file is opened. I would put it in the workbook_open sub but instead I want to have the sheet update before a main userform appears.
What I need it to do is:
Read each cell in column K from row 6 onwards to the last active row.
If a value is found then store the value (let's say as variable x) and from that cell, add up each value starting in the cell that is two columns to the left (column I) and one row down, onwards going down until a cell = "" is reached in that column (contains nothing). The total values added in column I could be stored as variable y.
Once cell = "" is reached, have x - y to make z and then the total (z)should display in the cell to the very left of the very original cell that contained the value x.
Finally, if x = the value in the cell to the immediate left from where x is (so same row but in column J), have that whole row from column A to L turn green, else have it turn orange:
i want to update values fon an excel sheet on a month by month basis. So i have jan to dec folders and excel sheets under each folder , i want to update my monthly forecast sheet based on the numbers in the folder I want to just change the cell in my monthly forecast sheet to Jan or Feb and the values should be pulled from the closed excel files in the monthly folders. I tried concatenation but it gave me #REF .. Is there a way to do it other than using "pull" ??
write a script to match a cell value then copy and paste the matching row across two worksheets - "Master List" and "Demographics".
These two worksheets have the same cell values in Column A, the key difference is the Column A cell order in the second worksheet "Demographics". This Column A cell order is set arbitrarily by another system and will vary over time.
I would like to match the rows, then paste the three columns from the second worksheet into the first worksheet.
For example:
"Demographics" Worksheet Cell A2 = "Master List" Worksheet A45 - then copy cells A2, B2 and C2 and paste into A45, B45, C45 respectively.
"Demographics" Worksheet Cell A49 = "Master List" Worksheet A12 - then copy cells A49, B49 and C49 and paste into A12, B12, C12 respectively.
I have created a sample spreadsheet here; - List Schema.xlsx
1. In this formula in column C, below, i have A2 as the look up... sometimes this will be A3 , A7 or other... how can i vary this formula? I've tried it all ways.
Range("C2:C" & LR).SpecialCells(4).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(A2,Data!$A:$B,2)" It need to be inserted based on the first cell in column A which has a value.
2. after this has done its thing... how can i paste the values to ONLY those cells which have been affected by the formula. I don't want to copy, paste special the whole column as there are sub total and other exciting things included.
I am linking to cells on a spreadsheet and in some cases the formula is showing in the cell and in others the contents of the linked cell. I have forced updating (F9 )and F2 enter with no effect. Is their something i am missing as I want all the links to update automatically. If I copy and paste a working formula into one of these cells it updates albeit with the wrong reference but if i go in and edit F2 etc then it shows as a formula.
I have the following VBA code, which works nicely -
PHP For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)) C.Offset(0, 5).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF((RIGHT(RC[-1],3)=""ago""),RC[-1],"""")" Next C
What I want to do is Paste As Values to each of the cells in the above to convert the formula to a static value,. Is there a simple bit of code I can include in the above loop, instead of doing a Selection.Copy Selection.PasteValues etc over the range?
I am trying to find a way of copying values from cells that are linked to another workbook and paste them to another sheet in same workbook to the end of last row entry. This needs to be done via VBA from a button. There are 35 rows and 9 columns linked to another workbook and they don't always have values (depending on source workbook). To cycle thru each row and copy if they have values and paste them to end of last used row on another sheet.
I have 2 excel files A & B. In cell A1 of file B, I use an index formula to refer to a row in file A. "INDEX('[A.xlsb]A'!$10:$10,1,2)" is the formula used (referring row 10 in file A).
If I update the row number in another cell of file B, is it possible for this formula to refer to that cell to get the row number from file A?
I am using the formula below to sum across several worksheets, and the formula I am using works fine, but when I copy the formula across to other cells, I can't figure out how to have it update my cell range:
I have a table which takes the average of the last three years. The formulas are in cells below the data. The data is set up to be first data down to the oldest data. each time data is added, a row is put in on top. how do i get the formula in the cell to update dynamically. What would the average formula look like in the cell? Do you just say =average(name of file!RANGENAME).
I want to automate the following steps when cell A8:A11 changes in sheet "InfoAA":
(1) clear contents and formats of cells A1:A4 in sheet "InfoBB" (2) copy cells A8:A11 of sheet "InfoAA" (which are formulas) and past it as text in cells A1:A4 of sheet "InfoBB". (3) then automatically run a recorded macro named "BoldFirstName"
I would like to copy a formula in a cell and then paste only the text of the formula, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I would like to avoid going into the cells and absolute referencing or hitting F2, then copying the text.
When I hit "Ctrl C" to copy the cell, then hit "Alt/E/S/F/Enter" to paste the formula, it is just like a regular copy/paste formula-wise in that the references move.
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
Tried all day to find a way of selecting text ( from several cells) on one sheet and then having it pasted into the textbox on another sheet. I did originally paste the text to a cell but it makes the row's vary in size depending on the copied text and gets a bit annoying. Seems to be This is the paste to Cell code
I need to copy the cell values from one worksheet to another. the code works, just that it copies the formatting as well What should be changed in order to copy the values only?
For outerLoopNum = 2 To Application.WorksheetFunction. CountA(wksNew.Columns("A:A")) For innerLoopNum = 2 To Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(wksUpdate.Columns("A:A")) If wksNew.Range("A" & outerLoopNum) = wksUpdate.Range("B" & innerLoopNum) Then wksNew.Range("AG" & outerLoopNum & ":AJ" & outerLoopNum).copy wksUpdate.Range("AP" & innerLoopNum).Select ActiveSheet.Paste
i had data in html format.i want the data to be splitted into columns in excel.
HTML FORMAT Employee name Emp id
johnabraham wesley peter neiljohn and so on....... 254800 254801 254802 254803
i tried copying the data from html to excel. Then applied text to columns but i m getting incomplete names from this step.
My problem is how would i get the full name in one Column(Column B) & the emp id in the next Column (COLUMN C).Column A will have the data copied from html page. The length of the employee name differs. The only saving tip is that the employee name will suffix with sno like
I am looking to create some vba code that looks for a specific value in column 'm' (Z-AUD) for example and where it occurs within my data range copies and pastes the values in columns O,P and Q in to columns K,L and M.
I am trying to copy paste info from one sheet to another, however, I would like to select where the information is to be pasted, not have it go to a predetermined cell or column.
Here is the code I have so far that works fine, but it requires a macro for each column I would like to paste to.....
Someone created a macro for me that creates and names worksheets based off of a list on my first worksheet "Summary". I would love to be able to then have the list of titles on Summary sheet be in cell A1 on each of the worksheets that I had created.
Here is the macro for creating all of the worksheets w/ names -
I need a macro to find the last cell in the column, then copy the formula to the next blank cell. Then, it goes back to the last cell (above) and paste's values. Then, go to the next column and repeat the process. I can do this but have to call each cell separatly...however, I would like to do it in a loop to simplify things. It would be great to even be able to just set the start and ending columns. Here is my current code:
Dim rng As Range, aCell As Range Set rng = Range("C8, D8, E8, F8, G8, H8, J8, K8, L8, M8, N8, O8, P8, Q8, R8, S8, T8, U8") For Each aCell In rng Selection.End(xlDown).Select Application.CutCopyMode = False
[Code] .......
It does not go to the next column, instead it stays in the same column and repeats the process.
In Sheet1, column Y looks into Sheet2 and returns the status of that specific order - the result displayed in column Y will be either blank or a variety of text strings (eg. received, pending etc).
I need to make a macro that looks into all the cells of column Y in Sheet 1 and copy/pastes as value into that same cell only if the formula in that cell returns text string "Received". It should not affect the other cells where the formula is returning either blank or a different text string.
From mySQL database, i am getting a ton of data that is all being inputted into a single excel cell. Within this cell, there are certain data points that i wish to obtain (Bank #, SSN #, Routing #). There are multiple difficulties in obtaining this information.
1. these cells contain the same fields, but different number of total characters (differing in names, addresses, etc.)
2. some of the data points (like SSN) are inputted incorrectly, so even though a SSN is only 9 digits/characters, I may have to output all 11 that the SQL database placed within the cell.
Can I get some help? I'm thinking of a search function/macro within excel, because all of the fields show up correctly.
something like (i know this doesn't work)
= or("cellA1" contains/finds/function SSN,return the 9 characters after "SSN ")
um...yeah. difficult to explain, i'm sorry!
edit: not sure what is wrong the file. I have attached a new one.
and want to update col2 values to col1 values. Col 1 is always sorted low to high. For some reason I can't figure this out, whichever end I start from will change numebrs prematurely and muck everything up.
But it's got to be simple, hasn't it ? ! It's in a macro, not a worksheet and there may be more or less then the 5 in the example above.
Need VBA macro that will copy & paste (Special > AS VALUES) from one of two (Data A & B) sheets based on the contents of a validation cell ($D$4) in a third (Report) sheet? The destination starting cell would be $F$11. ALSO - I'd like to have the Named Ranges "DataAExtract" & "DataBExtract" used in the code (for the COPY region) so I can see an example of how to reflect my actual named ranges in my working file.
The reason for doing this is that the "c.Characters...." lines in my conditional formatting macros (attached) are not working on cells containing formula output (in my working file the Report page is all populated by VLOOKUP results), but the macros run fine on hard-coded values. In my attached workbook, I'd like to have the "NEW" macro for the copy & paste step fire first in the sequence of macros running after the FORM button-click (control located in cell $D$5 of the Report sheet), whether that's by writing a new macro and calling mine before the new one ends, OR by consolidating all of my macros plus the new one into one smooth progression.
With this low-tech approach I can get updated VALUES into the report area once the user selects a data source and a customer on the report sheet. The COPY ranges in my working spreadsheet will update based on the selections made in the report page. I tried recording a macro and then modifying the recorded code to add the "If > Then" functionality I'm looking for, but I'm pretty green when it comes to VBA code and syntax.
