Recalculate Using Two Different Formulas In Same Cell?
Jan 25, 2014
I need to create a drop down menu or something of that sort, that allows the user to select what units he wants his results to be in.
When a particular units system is selected, the results must be recalculated and displayed in their respective cells.
No matter which units are selected, the units must always be displayed in the same set of cells, that means the formula or reference in the set of those output cells must change automatically, based on the units selection.
When I have a column of data, say reference A1 to A9 with a formula beneath it in A10 being that the formula is = SUM(A1:A9) when I update any of the data in A1 to A9 the figure in A10 does not update. The only way to get it to update is to click in A10 where the formula is and then click in the formula bar and press enter; the formula seems to recalculate after this and it works or you need to save it and it works. It should work right after any change in the data being added.
I have a cell which sums up a lot of random number generators (after going through several other functions) and therefore every time the worksheet recalculates the value of this cell changes.
Is there any way I can get this cell to print it's value say, 1000 times, each print one cell below the previous, with a recalculate in-between each print? I'm guessing this needs scripts? Or is there a way of just directly inputting this into 1000 cells and letting it fly?
My workbook in Excel 2003 is set to manual re-calculation to save constant updating of all the worksheets.
However, I have 2-3 worksheets where I have a drop list box containing dates and I would like all of the information in that particular worksheet to update itself when the date changes.
e.g. If dropdown list box in B2, when changed from 4/10/08 to 11/10/08 all formulas etc are updated.
Have done a search but the only examples I can find are ones where the worksheet updates itself whenever any cell is changed.
to write a VBA code that will have a cell RE-calcuate an excel formula ONLY if a date i have in a cell to the left of it is greater than another cell in the worksheet.
These dates will change so i cannot have the value entered into the VBA code, but rather linked to the data i would enter into the said cell.
I have a spreadsheet where sheet("summary").Cells("K4") = sheet("component").Cells("G7").
This is written as a formula, e.g. =SUM('Component'!G7).
I am trying to achieve the same through VBA. I can get the summary cell to copy the others. but it just copies it the once when it is created. How can I make this re-calculate everytime it is changed?
I'm trying to build a price index in which when a user changes the value in any one cells, the other cells on that row would change dynamically. In other words, if a user enters 25% in the "discount %" column, the "net price" column would reflect this discount ( attached is a sample sheet). I thought I had this covered but ran in to some problems I can't figure out on my own.
The worksheet_change function only inserts a formula in to a cell once. After a value has been added to that cell manually, the function doesn't insert the formula in it again. Also, there are empty cells inside the price index and I don't know how to take them into consideration in my code. And for last, if, and only if a discount % is entered a phrase "Z106" should appear in the last column. But if any of the net prices are manually entered, a phrase "ZSOP" should appear in the last column.
I saw there were codes to sum or count cells that have a specified Fill Color http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/sum-count-cells-by-color.htm
However it says the changing of a cells fill color will not cause the Custom Function to recalculate, I really need to recalculate the data if there are any changes in the selected range
I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
I am trying to write code that runs a calculation on each cell in a range and replaces the current value with the calculated one. The calculation is very straightforward (see green range in example file)- instead of the absolute value in a cell (yellow range) it displays the ratio of said cell value to a value from another column (blue range). Basically, after running the macro, the green cells (just formatted for ease of reference) would replace the yellow ones.
I have a macro that can individually turn on or off the EnableCalculation property of each worksheet in a workbook (that is, set the property to True or False). It worked very nicely for a while, and made some of my more formula-laden workbooks much more tractable. But after a while, when I would turn the EnableCalculation back to True for any worksheet, the formulas on that sheet were still frozen (would not recalculate at all), and could only be unfrozen by going to each cell and doing [F2] [Enter]. Just to rule out the obvious, Automatic calculation is turned on, and I have made sure that the macro is successfully returning the EnableCalculation property back to True.
It seems that if I physically go into the VB Editor and manually (through the GUI, as opposed to programmatically) switch the EnableCalculation property back to False, then back to True again, then it will revive the formulas. But this is silly, and I was hoping there was a better solution... maybe someone has encountered this before? If it's just another Microsoft bug, I don't know what's the trigger is, but I imagine it's when you save/close the workbook with some of the sheets' EnableCalculation properties still set to False. I know the property is not stored/saved with the workbook, i.e. all sheets will reset EnableCalculation to True when the workbook is re-opened, but maybe it's still causing a glitch.
My excel file consists of 15 sheets, thereof 4 that are purely graphs, the others have tables with formulas. When opening the file or changing values, the entire sheet is being recalculated every time which takes a few seconds. Is this normal or can one tell to recalculate at another stage?
The activities sheet has a date macro (double click in date cell). The workbook has a macro for the footer information.
My sheet has a very simple formula in a lot of the cells that simply say this cell in sheet A should equal a cell on sheet B in the same workbook.
I deleted the contents of the cells in sheet B, however the cells in sheet A did not update. It still shows the contents of sheet B that were there before I deleted them. The sheet is set to calculate automatically and I even commanded it to force calculation.
Any clues as to why my sheet will not update?
If I cut a formula from a cell in Sheet A and paste right back, it updates correctly to reflect the cell that was deleted in Sheet B.
I have a list of asset numbers that I am displaying to a user. I have a cell where the user is to type in the asset number. What I would like is to be able to display a list of matches in another group of cells.
I.e. - if the cell is populated with "D49", the list on the right will contain all asset numbers starting with "D49"...
I can do this easily enough if I wait for the "Change" event on the worksheet - but this necessitates the user typing some in, hitting enter, etcetera.
Is there any way to trigger an event per keystroke instead of on worksheet.change?
how to lock a formula in a cell, protect the sheet but still allow it to recalculate when new data is entered in a unlocked cell that feeds the formula? I am using Excel 2003.
I want to make a drop down menu whereby each choice in the drop down would re-calculate my workbook.
Let me explain:-
I want to make a drop down menu in sheet 1 with 3 choices. The 3 choices come from sheet 2 (row 1, column A, B, C). I have data in sheet 2 in rows 2 through to 6 in columns A, B, C. I have sheet 3 that currently uses the data from sheet 2 row 2 through to 6 for column A.
I want to be able to use the drop down menu in sheet 1 to choose either column A, B, or C in sheet 2 and then re-calculate the data in sheet 3 accordling.
I have the drop down menu made now.... but how can i re-calculate the values in sheet 3 after choosing a choice in the drop down?
I have sheets 3, 4, 5 which I would like to only _manually_ recalculate (with a macro -- the sheets are locked at other times), and say sheets 1, 2, 6 which I would like to automatically calculate.
Is there a way to do this in excel? I can only see a way to manually/automatically calculate the entire Excel application, which is really not ideal.
I am using Excel 2007. I have read that if you open an excel 2003 document, that has external links, the links will be recacluated automatically. How do I change the settings in '07 so that the links are not recalculated when I open a 2003 excel file?
I have made some UDFs (custom functions) using VBA, when the problem is that they don't update automatically like standard functions. I have numerous tickboxes which cause text to become bolded, and then my function counts the total, only including bolded text:
Function CountGamerScore() As Long Dim i As Integer Dim strScore As String Dim intDigit As Integer i = 6 For i = 6 To 52 strScore = "L" & i If Range(strScore).Font.Bold = True Then intDigit = Left(Range(strScore).Value, Len(Range(strScore).Value) - 1) CountGamerScore = CountGamerScore + intDigit End If Next i End Function
However, if I untick or tick a checkbox, the bold and unbold works fine (done in another sub, but the function does not update the value in the cell for total.
Therefore, is there any VBA code that will tell Excel to recalculate formulae??
On my workbook I have autocalculation off. I'm trying to think of the best way to trigger a "Calculate" upon changing sheets. So everytime you click on a new sheet, it runs a "Calculate"?
I need a macro to automatically update 50 cells (currently done manually) with the calculation below. The calculation is different in each cell ie a different range is specified but the concept is the same.
COUNTIF(‘SHEET 1’!$A$1:$?$99,”X”)
SHEET 1 remains static $A$1 remains static for the particular cell - each cell has a different value
$?$ ? moves to next column number each time the macro is run $?$99 99 remains static - each cell has a different value
I have found the following piece of code which does almost what I want it to:
sub my_calc range("A1:A25").calculate end sub However, the Range I want Excel to recalculate is, from the Active Cell, 20 Rows down and 81 Colums across.
I am working in a fairly large worksheet, and I realized that when I make changes to it, sometimes some of the cells do no recalculate. The only way I can get them to recalculate is by clicking into the cell, and then hitting return.
The issue is that I don't know which ones are failing to recalculate unless I click into each individual cell and hit return to see if it changes. This would be logistically impossible given the size of my sheet.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?
A certain macro (or is it a VB script?) in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet has to be manually recalculated every time I open the file. The only way I've found to do this is to click in the formula bar and hit Enter, or else click the green check mark to accept the formula. The spreadsheet is set to recalculate automatically, so I do not understand why this is happening.
Another wrinkle is that I can't locate the specification/definition of the macro. I checked the Developer menu on the ribbon and looked in the Visual Basic and Macros lists, but could not see the definition of the macro in question. Another user created the spreadsheet but I am unable to contact him...
I have two sheets. Watchbill and Roster. The Roster contains a list of names that are randomly generated to the watchbill sheet into more than 60 seperate cells. My problem is the names are not being distributed fairly. If I had 20 names and 20 cells, it only uses say 12 of them and repeats 8 names, thus leaving 8 persons out of the generation completely. I did not know how to fix this so I used a system to identify when a name was repeating in the series of cells by displaying Repeat in the cell beneath it. I then had the names that were not placed on the watchbill (the other 8 not used) highlight themselves in blue on the roster sheet so I could manually insert them on a third sheet into a cell set to override the repeating name on the watchbill. This was my back door system to solve my repeating names problem. However this takes forever. I want some vba that will identify the cell with the "repeat" underneath it and automatically recalculate the cell until it doesn't repeat. I only want the cell recalculated, not the sheet. This code would have to do this for about 70 cells making sure no names repeat at all, unless there isn't enough personnel to fill the positions, then it would allow the names to repeat. Can that be done and what would the code be?
I have a data set that I constantly run a pivot table. I have the pivot table run on a separate sheet each time. Since I run it every time I was wondering if there is a way to set up a pivot table to run automatically and run it on a separate sheet.
Lastly, if that is possible, if the data set changes and the pivot table runs automatically will the pivot table recalculate based on the new data.
I have a named Formula which works but it will only recalculate when I click the green tick in the Formula Bar. How can I get it to work without needing to do that?
