Reading And Displaying Numbers From One Sheet To Another
Feb 9, 2010
I have a list of client names with their respective numbers on a sheet 1 and I have a list of jumbled client names with the names repeated in the next sheet 2. I would like to retrieve the client number from the data sheet and display the number for that respective client name in the second sheet
Sheet 1:
Client Number Client Name
1 David
2 Tom
3 Suzan
4 Richard
Sheet 2:
Client Name Client Number
Richard
Tom
David
Suzan
Richard
Tom
David
I want the program to retrieve the client number for the names from sheet 1 and display it accordingly in sheet 2. For eg:- it should retrieve Richard's client number as 4 from sheet 1 and display digit 4 next to richard's name in the client number column. I have attached the sample document.
I am building a data base. I have a tab where you fill out of a form and then click an activeX command button to write to the data base. I am wondering if there is a way to record how many times to button is pushed. Each time the button is pushed, I want to record the data from the form into a single row in the data base without writing over old data but I do not know how to read how many rows of data are already there.
I have a .csv file that contains numerical data in the form of strings, much of which starts with leading zeros (i.e. "012345"). I double checked to make sure the .csv file has the leading zeros and that they are wrapped in quotation marks in notepad, and it does. However, when Excel opens the file, it must read those strings as numbers, becuase it chops off the zeros. Does anyone know of way to fix this? Can Excel read numbers as strings straight from a .csv file?
In sheet 1 data 123. In sheet2 there is also data 123. In sheet3 will automatically data that is same 123 after reading sheet1 & sheet2. Any data with figure that is same in sheet1 and sheet2 will be reading in sheet3.
Is it possible to display the actual relative row and column number in a cell within a range more efficiently then listed below?
For example: I have a named range "data" D7:L19. In cell E8 should display R2C2. In cell G17 should display R11C4. etc.......
I am using a method described below where cell E8 will have the formula: ="R"&ROW()-ROW($D$7)+1&"C"&COLUMN()-COLUMN($D$7)+1
The reason i am doing this is to solve a bigger problem creating dynamic column headers from a vertical list (named range). But sometimes the column headers, although being consecutive, may be listed in every other column.
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Heading1 (nothing) Heading2 (nothing) etc......
Is there a command or macro to display the name of a sheet in a cell?
I know how to do it in a header or footer, but not in a cell.
I need to copy the name that appears at the bottom of a spreadsheet in a cell at the top -- no need to reference the name of a different sheet, just the same one the cell is on.
I have several worksheets of data, and one sheet that I wish to serve as a summary. I have the following function on this summary sheet: =MIN(Sheet2:Sheet4!C1)
This displays the minimum value for the given range, however I don't want the value, I want to know which sheet is was found on...so instead of 3 it might say Sheet2 if Sheet2 containded 3. I've spent quite a while trying other solutions to other similar problems but I just can't figure this out; and I don't have the experience to code a solution myself.
I am seeking a method of collecting data from one sheet in a workbook and displaying it on another, based on a search.
e.g.
Sheet1 Garcia Joe 11111 Garcia Matt 22222 Hernandez Efrain 33333 Matias Jorge 44444
What I want to do is to have Sheet2 be a query for Sheet1--that is, in a cell in Sheet2, the user can type 'Garcia' into a cell and thus display the matching entries from Sheet1, e.g.
I'm Seeking in InRegards To Working Out How To Display Multiple Leaders Within The Same Cell Based Apon There Score In A Game Of Golf, Or If This Cant Be Done Perhaps A Message Saying "Multiple Leaders" So That It Is Known That Its Not Just The One Persons Name That Is Been Displayed. I Have Attatched The Document I Have Been Playing With While Trying To Work It Out Before Making A Big Sheet.
As You Will See "Daniel" And "Paul" Both Have The Same Score, And Below In The Summary It IS Currently Only Showing "Daniel" As The Scratch Leader, Is There A Way Of Getting It To Show Them Both As A Leader, EG: "Daniel, Paul", Or As Said efore Just Saying "Multiple Leaders" Thus Having To Manual Go Through Them ( The Fist Option Would Be Better As There Will Be Approx 85 Names In The Final Sheet)
i want to do the following: initialize a sheet by showing form1, which accepts user input for rows and cols name a range on the sheet of size rows x cols display form2 which is just a "DONE" button that they click when they're finished pause/stop the macros and allow the user to fill in values for that range start up some other macros when they press the "DONE" button.
i tried it and found that when you display a form it locks the sheet (can't select the sheet to input values) and you can't even alt tab away from the form. is there a way around this?
I get some records from XML and display in the sheet. Now, I need to put an image for each record in the sheet while displaying records. And also on click of the image I need to have some code to be executed.
Any way to always include the sheet name before the cell address in a formula? For example, in my "Summary" sheet, I have a formula:
Code: =A2 + B4/B5
However, without typing anything else, I'd like the formula to populate the sheet name since I will be extracting the formula as text and need the full reference:
Code: =Summary!A2 + Summary!B4/Summary!B5
A way to get around this is to enter the equal sign, then temporarily select another sheet, then go back to the "Summary" sheet where all cell references will include the sheet name, but if there is a quicker way to do it using some kind of property or event in VBA, that would be ideal.
I have a spread sheet where i want to display help text when cells are activated. I do not want to use comments as i both do not like the red triangle and also have not found a way to controll the position of the text box. When I use the event Worksheet_SelectionChange I can display a custom box but the box "retains focus" and i can not enter the data until i "reclick" on the cell in the sheet. The box then goes away when i select another cell. Is there a way to fix this or a different method entirely. I am using Excel 2007.
There are some blanks in the list that I am using, and I need to the blanks to stay as blanks in the sheet that I am indexing to, however they are displayng as 00/01/1900.
I'm trying to write code that looks at the range W(rowid):Z(rowid) and lists each cell value in a listbox. The row id is coming from the listindex of combobox1. I know the rowid part is correct and working because other operations in my worksheet are using it fine. Here's what I've written so far:
With Worksheets("DATA") For I = 0 To 4 ListBox3.AddItem .Range("W" + I & rowid) Next I End With
the attached workbook, I am looking for M19, N19 & O19 to read from different locations depending on how many cells are called on when info is entered in P8.
The following code reads text one character at a time, and each character is determined either to be a blank space or to be any other character. If it's determined to be any other character, then the character is added to the active cell. If it's determined to be a blank space, then the active cell becomes the cell one column over. The idea is to have different words written in columns next to each other.
The sample text file I'm reading from reads: "text file". The file has only those two words. One space between them. No space before the first word, and no space after the second word. The following code compiles and runs. BUT the result is that the word "text" is in column k, not A. And the word "file" is in column J, not b.
I have a drop down list in my excel sheet that contains names of manufacturers. What i would like to do (using vba) is display some details of each manufacturer that will be copied from a different sheet.
So my question is, how can i read the string from the drop down list on one sheet and then copy a cell from another sheet.
I am using the find or search function but I need to read my text string from right to left (from the end of the string, instead of from the beggining). Is there a way to do this?
I have a spreadsheet with about 200 lines or records and I have added a checkbox to the end of each record. I need to the code to check the checkbox on each line to make a decision on how to process the data, but I do not want to read in a True or False value for 200 check boxes in every step of the loop. I think I'm close but I can't get the following to work...
This is basically what I want:
For i = 1 to x Step 1
IF me.Shapes("Checkbox" & i).Value = True Then
'Perform Action
END IF
Next i I get an error when I hit the IF me.Shapes..... line
I have a table where sometimes cells are merged. To the right they are not merged, but I need to link to the value of the merged cell. How can I do it if I don't want to do it manually?
Example: Say A1:A4 is merged, A5 is just normal. I want a formula using those values, say in B1:B5. Now just filling down the formula would reference A1, A2 and so forth. This is wrong.
Is it possible for VBA to read data from a clipboard so that it knows what sheet to paste the data to? Currently we run a financial tool and 2 reports are ran and I put in a bottom so users could easily just paste special values into the correct place. Sometimes the users forget if they copied the balance sheet data or income statement data and currently its not a big deal because there are no columns to the right of where it is pasting so it isn't screwing anything up and they just delete the data and paste it to the correct sheet.
I have thought of 2 approaches I am going to take, but started to wonder if one could read the data from the clipboard before the paste.
My 2 options would be:
Option 1. Paste data to newly created sheet and check if it is balance sheet or income statement and then move from newly created sheet to correct sheet and delete newly created sheet. The user wouldn't see any of this because I would disable screen updating.
Option 2. Learn how to use Undo within my VBA or keep the Undo cache with items in it as it typically clears when VBA is executed. That way if they paste it and it is wrong I can just undo the VBA paste.
Option 1 I am confident I can handle. Option 2 I can research and feel I could do, but if it comes a time when a sheet has data I do not want to paste over then this option is no good.
I would like to hear any comments or feedback on this and if it is possible to read data off the clipboard so it knows where to paste.
