View 9 Repliesneed to do to the below code so that when i drag the formula down it changes the sheet number....sheet1, sheet2, sheet3 and so on but keeps the cell reference the same?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFrom the title "Filling Down Formula From Source That Goes Horisontally" I hope that someone understands what I mean. If I try to autofill a formula where the source cells that I want to autofill is organised in an horisontal fashion instead of vertical fashion, then the autofill always goes in an vertical fashion. Is there a way to get around this, macro, formula?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have trouble using the =Concatenate() or =(A1&B1) to combine data in one cell. It will work for the first cell but then when I drag the equation it gives me the exact same result as the first cell. But when I click to look at the formula it looks good and when I hit Enter the cell reads the correct value. So I have to open each individual cell and hit enter. What is goin on here. I have attached a small example.
Also, sometimes I will type in a formula and hit enter and it just displays the formula. It does not return a value.
How to create a macro tool to check whether all the formulas are dragged down correctly? Because someone may accidentally make some changes to some cells.
For example,
A1=IF(NOT($B1), -SUMIF(PCAInfo'!$C1, AQ$10:AQ$150),0)
A2=IF(NOT($B2), -SUMIF(PCAInfo'!$C2, AQ$10:AQ$150),0)
A3=IF(NOT($B4), -SUMIF(PCAInfo'!$C1, AQ$10:AQ$150),0)
A4=IF(NOT($B4), B4-SUMIF(PCAInfo'!$C4, AQ$10:AQ$150),0)
The code could test out
A2 is correct,
A3 and A4 is not correct.
I am trying to find a short way of creating a list using the drag down tool. Normally this isn't a problem when the numbers are at the end of the data, however they are in the middle so the drag down tool does not like it and will only copy the same data into the cells below.
Eg. the list I am creating goes as follows:
Dicso 80Gb: Cyber Records Barcodes: CR 001. ai
Disco 80Gb: Cyber Records Barcodes: CR 002.ai
Disco 80Gb: Cyber Records Barcodes: CR 003.ai
...and so on.
How do I create the formula to recognise that I want the number within the text to increase by 1 each time?
I currently have a VB macro written where under certain conditions user forms are shown for the user to select options, display messages, etc. When any of these forms are on the screen, and someone drags them, the menu image is 'dragged' across the screen. Is there a way from preventing this from happening?

I also have sheets "1-31" within the same workbook that contain the data I need under each heading. I can get the data for "Amex" in sheet "1" to appear in the first cell underneath "Amex" in the sheet "ledger" by typing the formula ='1'!$B$29.....

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a variety of different order forms in workbooks titled IT1314-0001, IT1314-0002, IT1314-0003...etc... They're all stored in the same location, but they need to be on different workbooks as each workbook is sent as an order form to a different organization, for that organization to fill in. All of the order forms have the same layout, but the user will input different information onto them.
In a summary workbook of all of these Order Forms, I need to be able to drag down an INDEX formula, such that the INDEX looks in a different workbook (the next workbook in the sequence) with each row. As you go down the rows, it should look like;
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0001.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0002.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0003.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0004.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
Can this be done without VBA?
i have a challenge i need to prevent the value is more than A1 cell value in B1.
Example: if A1 value is 10 then unable to enter morethan 10 in B1 cell.
I am creating a tool that is populating information off of another excel document and presenting the information in a different format then the data originally appears. Basically I am unsure how to create a formula, for example, in cell A1, that as I drag it down (A2, A3, etc) the column letter in the formula advances but the row number remains the same. In another words as the formula moves into cell A2, the "Sheet1!D3" changes to "Sheet1!E3", where as normally it would advance to "Sheet1!D4". I just started back up in excel, im sure this is way easier then I am making it seem but I have been unable to come up with a solution.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to allow users to select a cell in a column, but not allow them to change the contents of the cell. Also, don't want to allow them to select all the cells on the sheet.
I'm guessing that I need to use the Change event, and restore the contents back to what they were before the change.
Is there a better way to do this?
Am trying to create a simple spreadsheet with some multiplication functions on it. Using this example:
Cell A1 = 5 (multiplicand) x
Cell A2 = 10 (multiplier) =
Cell A3 = 50 (product)
All is well providing I have a number value in cells A1 and A2. When I don't, I would like them to remain blank, as well as A3, the product. The problem I face is when I remove the values in either A1 or A2, what's displayed in A3 turns to the word - #VALUE!. Which also shows up on the printed page.
My question is, like removing the checkmark for "zero values" under tools and options to prevent the "0"'s from being displayed, is there a way of preventing the word "#VALUE!" from being displayed when the values for the multiplicand and/or multiplier have been removed?
I have a worksheet with multiple entry boxes in a row. Depending on the value in one row, another row will either yield the result from a formula, or remain blank, and this cell needs to be locked. I was able to do this by first putting the formula into the destination cell, and then using custom data validation that says the cell value = "". So this prevents anyone from typing in that cell, no matter if it yields the formula result or must stay blank. What it doesn't protect against is someone deleting the contents of the cell. The reason I don't want to protect the cell is because I want people to be able to highlight the whole row past that cell and delete it all at once. So either using Data Validation, a formula, or VB programming I need to not allow someone to do ANYTHING to that cell, even delete the contents, without locking the cell. Hopefully it can be done, thanks!
For example, if E17 = "X", then K17 = INPUT!$M$28*J17. If E17 <> "X" then K17 is blank. Either way, I don't want any typing or deleting of K17. This applies for range K17:K91, and corresponding E17:E91.
If A1 = "Yes"
Then don't allow input into cells B1 and C1. Or delete anything in B1 and C1 perhaps?
Cell A1 would be the result of a formula
How would I go about creating something like the above?
how can I prevent an entry in a cell even without formula lets say cells B1 , C1 , D 1 , E1
I want to prevent an entry in these cell and if you try an error message will display
How can I stop the overlapping cells?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.
So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3
If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)
If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"
I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.
I would like to write a macro that performs the following function:
I have a value in cell A1
In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"
I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.
I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.
I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If
End Sub
When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.
I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2. I added some conditional formatting that colors certain cells red if others are blank on Sheet1. I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

I'm creating a maths workbook in Excel. I want the user to workout the answer in his/her head and enter the answer into Excel. The only problem is, of course, that there is nothing stopping a user from simply typing a formula to obtain the answer! I have tried all data validation, apart from Custom which I can't figure out. Is there a way to prevent a user entering a formula on a worksheet?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to solve above problem using Data Validation formula. Data validation does not work if somebody copy paste the duplicate values,it works when somebody types duplicate values in next column. So if I want to enter lot of urls to a column then it is completely impossible to type so must have to copy paste from the browser. I have attached a sample sheet, howl to solve this problem either using formula or using Data validation in sample 1 and sample 2 respectively.

The formulas on a sheet (2) refer to specific cells on sheet (1) within my workbook. I update Sheet(1) data with a macro. When sheet (1) updates, the present data gets shifted to the right.
In other words, I need to prevent the formulas from changing to reference the moved data values and keep referencing the initial cell with the new values. xample of change that occurs with update:
