I have a link that is showing up under Edit/Links. I have tried to locate this link by highlighting all sheets and using the find command and using part of the file string however it is not finding anything. I tried this with a link that I know should be there and it takes me right to the sheet/cell its located in...
View 9 RepliesI've tried to look for a solution on the forum, but nothing seems to come up. I've attached a file to help show what I'm trying to resolve.
Column A of the file shows an amount, when summed, give a total of -3.5725E-09.
Each of the figures in column A only has 2 decimal points and if I manually total up the numbers on a calculator it give me zero.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the -3.5725E-09 without another formula? I need the balance to be zero.
I remoted most of my number crunching stuff to a dll.
It work fine except for a few strange things that I observed like from time to time a strange message "Error in loading DLL" even though everything works fine. This message appears only when entering the main formula in the formula, and is no problem at all in usual work.
When I investigated, I noticed in the "windows task manager" that one instance of excel remains open even after I have closed excel. This phantom excel process is maybe related to the other problem I explained above.
Instead of calling a VBA function, it creates a VB6 object from this dll and uses the methods of this object. In this way I have remoted the number crunching functionality.
The main parameter passe in this process is a reference to the original workbook. I need it because the number crunching functions need to read data from the workbook.
I made it sure to terminate the life of the object properly on both sides by ad hoc obj=Nothing statements.
Still I think that the "garbage collection" or the "terminating" is the cause of the problem.
When copying sheets within a spreadsheet I receive numerous examples of the attached error message: when I search for the named range referred to in the source sheet it doesn't exist - I can only assume that it is a variable name that has been assigned somehow - but as far as I can tell, there aren't any macros associated with the spreadsheets in question that are generating the names that are displayed .. so unsure how the names are appearing. how to remove these phantom names so the prompt stops appearing?
NB: If I answer "No" to the prompt I must enter a different name - and if I do that, the system creates the new name in the copied sheet so if I then copy the copy on to another sheet the number of "named" ranges includes both the original "phantom names" AND the additional "phantom names" I've created as part of this process.
I have an excel report containing eight or so worksheets. A user can make a number of selections with the report to change its context. E.g. to analyse different types of customers; high spend or low spend etc. Sales projections are then presented with several Excel Charts adapting to the user's preferences.
My problem occurs when the user makes a selection (they choose a ComboBox option.) This then triggers my code, which creates the data tables and graphs depending on their selection. The report is quite long so I have created two points in the same worksheet where the user can change the same customer selection option. (Basically, all I have done is create a second ComboBox which triggers the first). Again, this works perfectly causing no errors (other than the display error belowc)
However, when I change the second instance of the ComboBox a phantom copy of my chart is dumped on the current screen view. If I scroll off screen and then back again the phantom chart disappears. I need a quick solution to fix this bug until I have some more time to look at what's causing it. Therefore I simply want to add a line of code, which will scroll off screen and then return back to the same position. (Not very neat, but at least it will get rid of my duplicate chart). As I have screen updating turned off the user won't notice what is happening.
I have a dynamic chart that allows the user to select the starting and ending dates for the data range by using a scroll bar.
The dates in the data table are input daily and are generally in sequential order, however there are gaps between dates (eg. 1/4/08, 1/7/08), such as would occur over a weekend or holiday period. The dates are used as labels for the X-axis.
The problem is the chart interpolates the dates in the "gap" and includes them on the X-axis and plots them as zero values.
I would like for the chart to display only the dates and values actually in the dataset and not interpolate and include dates/assign zero values.
Haven't had any success in searching the forum. Can this interpolation be prevented?
I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I have created a DDE link which is connected to Excel and refreshes on every change but the problem is it's only 1 row in height, so as new data comes in I lose the previous. Instead I want the old data to move down a row and I want this to continue as new data comes in.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of workbooks, workbook1 pulls information from closed workbook2. The current link works fine, it returns the value that is in cell E10 from the worksheet 'Totals' from within the workbook 'Week 12 Yellow.xlsm'.
[Code]....
What I would like to do is make two parts of this link variable; Name (so 'Marc owens' in the above example) Worksheet (so 'Week 12 Yellow.xlsm in the above example)
As stated, the worksheet in the formula will be closed so I cannot use the 'Indirect' option. I have come across a lot of talk about the 'Concatenate' option but this this isn't working, don't know if its the way I have the formula or if I need something extra adding.
Cell A1 = name variable & Cell A2 = worksheet variable
[Code] ......
But this just returns "G:HelpdeskTotalsMarc Owens[Week 12 Yellow.xlsm]Totals!%E%10" in the cell the formula is in.
I've changed it so that it is
[Code] ......
But again I get "='G:HelpdeskTotalsMarc Owens[Week 12 Yellow.xlsm]Totals'!%E%10" returned which is the same formula as originally used (top of page) but it doesn't return a value.
is it possible to create a link from Excel to MS Visio, to a specific Visio worksheet?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have created a data base of all the spare parts we have at work.
In the last column I have entered a hyperlinks that take you to a layout of the store and shows you where the part is located i.e. 1C would take you to shelf 1 level C on the drawing in another tab in the same Excel workbook.
I would be pleased if anyone could help me by suggesting away that I can make the destination cell highlighted or more prominent once you have clicked on the link.
Also can I make the Find window automatically appear when the workbook is first opened?
If you are working in an excel spreadsheet that is linked to other excel files, when you double click on the cell that is linked to another workbook, it immediately opens the linked workbook if your settings are correct. How do you change your settings to enable this functionality?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a link in a merged set of cells that puts the insertion point to another cell. Scenario: In cell k30, the user puts in the amount of credit card debt a individual has, and scripts the user based on that information. Later on, they get a more accurate running total of the amount of debt and need to change the amount in k30 for an accurate quote. After ther running total, in cell j172(a merged box for instructions) i instruct the user to be sure to enter the new total in cell K30.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to put a button or a link that would put the insertion point back up to K30 automatically, but allow the user to change it themselves and not change it automatically?
My workbook contains a link to a source it cannot find. I cannot find any reference to this source in my workbook.

what remains is a workbook with 1 blank worksheet and a Link it cannot find the sourse file and I cannot delete this link. How can I eliminate this non-existent link?
I would like to ask if there's a way that i can create a link in a cell to another cell. Sample: in cell A1: there's a word "click to go to cell A150" in this case i dont have to use scroll down to go to cell A150.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 4 workbooks that I want to link together. The first three are exactly the same as each other in the setup, cell size ect, ect. The forth book or "book4" is the book that I want link to the other three books. I am planing on using a countif formula to add up certain symbols in designated cell ranges. Eg, Make a formula in Book 4, cell B4 to count all the black triangle symbols "" in the cell range B6 to B35 in Book1, Book2 and Book3 on each work sheet (There is 31 work sheets which represents a work sheet for each day of the month). If I can just get the formula for doing this I can aply it to everything else.
One last question, these 4 books that will be linked togther are used for each month. So every month I save them under a that months name, but if I have the books linked I will always have to keep updateding the formulas in book4 b/c it will still have the formulas for the previous month. Is there a better way to setup what I want to do or will I just have to keep changing the formulas each month as I update?
Here it is
1. I want to put the AMOUNT on E6
2. from there on F6 put the account number on there (FOR)
3. Now once the account number is put on F6 it would link up the same account number on (H6-H32)
4. then when its linked up from those cells put the amount where you typed it up from to move to that account to THIS MONTH (J6-J32)
so from E6 to F6 it would link up, put an amount of 100.00 on E6 and an account number on F6.
Once account number is typed up it would link up to the account number to the other side to H6 -H32
Finally the amount that you typed up from E6 would link up to the account number and pop up to J6 - J32 (THIS MONTH) and if you put on other spaces on the cells it would add up different amounts and put account number and it would link up and the amount would move to THIS MONTH.
I attached one excel workbook...in that workbook main sheet & data sheet is there. I need formula in main sheet...while select drop down list in column of name & month data should come other columns. I tried vlookup ...but error came. I need drop down name & month only...other data should come automatically...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just started to do excel, and our church needs to tally tithes and offerings.
I just would like to ask if i can be able to link the envelope number to the Names (as shown on the attached picture).
Instead of inserting the name one by one, I can easily know who had given the envelope by their number.
I have a hyperlink in my excel file which refers to cell in a separate excel file (which no longer exists). I therefore would like to remove this 'dead' link as it keeps trying to update it when I open the file.
I don't remember where this hyperlink is in this huge multi-sheet file so I can remove it! How do I have excel show me all hyperlinks and the option to remove them?
I have data taken from the web which includes hyperlinks. Is there a VBA technique to extract the link itself and place it in a seperate cell? IE end up with the original text that was clickable in column A and the underlying URL in column B?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have links in one workbook to a series of other workbooks. Using Excel 2002. I am making selecting changes in the source workbooks and not automatically recalculating the workbook. I know what is changing and am just recalculting that by clicking on the cell and going to the end of the formula and pressing enter.
The problem is that when I go into the master workbook to which this data is linked, it seems unwilling to update the data - and it sounds like this may be because I didn't recalculate the entire workbook.
Is this in fact what happens? Any way around it. Recalculating the workbooks in which the source links are found would take lots of time and I'd rather avoid that.
I need to find a way to have Excel find a link and click on the link in Internet Explorer.
The link name is unique in the page, and the href looks something like this.
HTML Code:
it's possible to create a LINK btwn Excel & Word.
For example: If i create a worksheet with Product Prices, i would like to reflect the same product prices on the MS Word. (so that i don't have to manipulate Word doc.)
Basically, I'm trying to link, say Cel A1 of Sheet1, to TextBox1 in Sheet2. By link I mean that when I click in Cel A1 Sheet1, I'm forwarded to Sheet2 TextBox1
