is it possible to refer to a cell by a variable cell number? For example suppose i want to refer to a cell on column B, by a value which is in cell C1, so the if C1 has the value 7, i would refer to cell B7, abd if it has the value 87 i would refer to cell B87.
View 2 RepliesI 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'm trying to use arrays in a macro!
Here's my
Sub ArrayTest()
'
' ArrayTest Macro
'
Dim Array1() As Variant, Array2() As Variant
Dim R As Integer, ilR1 As Integer, iLR2 As Integer
ilR1 = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
iLR2 = Cells(Rows.Count, 7).End(xlUp).Row
ReDim Array1(1 To ilR1)
ReDim Array2(1 To iLR2)
For R = 1 To ilR1
Array1(R) = Cells(R, 1) & Cells(R, 2) & Cells(R, 3)
Next R
For R = 1 To iLR2
Array2(R) = Cells(R, 7) & Cells(R, 8) & Cells(R, 9)
Next R
For R = 2 To UBound(Array1)
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(?????, Array1(R)) > 0 Then Cells(R, 4) = "old" Else Cells(R, 4) = "new"
Next R
'
End Sub
Basically, the macro concatenates the content of three columns from two different tables into two arrays. Array1 contains the current stuff and Array2, the old one. If I CountIf items from Array1 into the content of Array2, I should get what's new (count 0).
Now, ? in the code should refer to the content of Array2. How do I do that?
The errors I get are 424 object required [Array(iLR2)], 1004 method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed [Range(Array2) or Range(Array2(2), Array2(iLR2))], or type mismatched [Array2].
This is a simplified version of an earlier, long winded post that clouded my actual question.
Can I use a variable to refer to a worksheet by its CodeName? For example, let's assume I have several worksheets, with CodeNames of mySheet1, mySheet2, mySheet3, and so on. I understand that I can refer to them directly,
mySheet1.Range(myRangeName).value = someValue
mySheet2.Range(myRangeName).value = someValue
mySheet3.Range(myRangeName).value = someValue
.
but what if I want to do this using a loop? Is it possible to preload an array of CodeNames and do it that way? I'm thinking along the lines of something like...
Dim CodeNames
CodeNames = Array( mySheet1, mySheet2, mySheet3 ...)
For x = 1 to HoweverMany
CodeNames(x).Range(myRangeName).value = someValue
Next x
Following statement works for me:
bdcTerm1 = ThisWorkbook. Sheets("ws2"). Range("A1").Value
But instead I want to parse through 50 rows and dynamically get the value instead of using a static Range("A1"). So I am trying to do the following:
For Row = 1 To bdc_rows
bdcTerm1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ws2").Cell(Row, 1).Value
bdcTerm2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ws2").Cell(Row, 2).Value
Next Row
But I get errror.

I am trying to create a macro (please look the attached excel what I have done), I have already crwated a macro that after 5 seconds is gonna change the background color of the of the cell en function of another cell.
That means if F3:F4 change the background color F8:is going to change the backgorung color also, every 5 seconds. The macro I wrote is also include in the excel attached file.
Now this is my problem... I have a variable cell that is give for D6 which could be A,B,C,D,E,F (Range F2:K2).
If the variable cell D6 is A the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color F3:F4 .
If the variable cell D6 is B the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color G3:G4 .
If the variable cell D6 is C the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color H3:H4 ......and etcetera.
On the attached Excel file, I have code that will insert a variable number of rows and copy and paste from and to variable positions. That all works fine when run from a command button, but when I try to run it from the Worksheet_Calculate by entering 1 in J1 or K1 (inrange cell is J1+K1 for testing purposes) the CommandButton1_Click sub runs continously until an error occurs.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI work for a UK charity and have a list of funders in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.
One of the columns refers to the date on which a new application for funding can be made to that particular funder.
In many cases new applications for funding can't be made for 1 or more years since the last application - sometimes as many as 5 years later. How to get a cell to refer to the date that it contains.
For example, say I have in cell A1 "The Acme Funding Organisation" and in cell B1 (i.e. the "Reapply when?" column) a date of 01/04/2013 (British date format, i.e. 1 April 2013) then what I want Excel to do is to look at the date in cell B1 and if that date has been reached to highlight the cell red. That way I'll know that the reapply date has been reached & that a new application can be made.
I have a selection that I am going through with a 'for each' and then performing actions if the cells meet a certain criteria. I have been referencing nearby cells with the offset function, but now my sheet is too big and I need to change the code often and the offset function is difficult, is there anyway to refer to cells without the offset function, preferably by column letter

For Each Cel in SelectionIf Cel = x Thenvalue1 = Cel.Offset(0,39).Valuevalue2 = Cel.Offset(0,5).ValueEnd IfNext CelÂ

In conditional formatting, which formula do I use to refer to another cell? Trying

without luck.
How can I use (with or without macro) cell text to refer to different worksheets inside a formula. For example I've formula =INDEX(Mary!B9:E17...) but I wanted to write that 'Mary' or whatever sheet name to a cell in one sheet and sheet refenrence in this index-formula would change accordingly.

I have a cell containing a 'bullet' symbol (•) and a cell containing text.
If I make the bullet red and the text is black is there a way I can combine them in the same cell and the bullet remains red and the text black?
Essentially the situation Im in is I have a load of text I need to add coloured bullets to and I dont want to individually paste in and colour format all the bullet points because it would be too time consuming.
Basically i want to use a UDF to count cells in a range of a certain colour.
But i want to make it easy for the user to be able to change the colour the function counts, so i thought i could ask them to colour the cell in which the function is written.
Is there a way to tell the function to pick up the Interior.ColorIndex of the cell it is written in?
Use Application.caller.interior.colorindex
macro which can paste the value from A1, to another B1 and when A1 is edited again, pasted it in B2. This will probably go on and on until B30. I have tried the if else then in Macro, and even the if elseif, but both don't go futher than B2. E.G A1=1 B1=1 A1=4 B2=4 A1=3 then nothing happens to B3. If there is a way to make this work, it will be great. The way i am tryin to get it is to have =if(B1="","",1) for each cell from C1:30 and with C31 the formula "=count(C1:C30)+1". Then i formated C31 to a custom and make it so that before numbers, there is an B. This means that if B1,2,3 and 4 and numbers in them, then C31 will read B5. That will be the cell i want my next record to go. I would prefer it if there is just a code that i can enter that will go to the next cell when it knows the current cell has a digit in it but if i have to, the count way will do,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to write a formula that inserts a column and then does a vlookup in that new column using the cell just to the left of it as the first variable. The problem is, this could be in any random column so I can't do a static reference to $A2 as an example. So, my question is...
Instead of using =vlookup($A2,Sheet1A1:B50,2,false)
How do I replace the $A2 part with some code that says, "the cell to the left of here..."
I need a list in my form, simple "Name/Number" list (only two options) but i don't want it to refer to any cell in the worksheet.

Col F ref's $P$58
So as I copy the 4 formulas down, the ref to the correct sheet should update but the cell ref's should remain
Is it possible to refer a floating text to a specific cell in a worksheet?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAt the moment, I have a project where everyone is putting work data on seperate workbooks. Each months work is placed onto another worksheet within that workbook.
The supervisor has his own workbook, that grabs data from each of the workers books. Getting the data is easy enough, however because the supervisor has barely any knowledge of computers, I would like to make it as easy to set up for future months.
Right now, data is collected in each cell using the following formula:-
='[otherusersworkbook.xls]December 2009'!$C$620
Is there a way of getting that phrase to substitute the part that says "December 2009" with whatever is put into column A on the same row?
I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.
myfilename = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntrymyfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntry"
I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,
in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")
So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.
I am using a variable named " Totals" as a range type to refference the range in a formula. It works the way I have it.
Dim Totals As Range
Set Totals = [U37: AE37]
Now instead of the absolute refference, I would like to change the row refference by an offset of my current row, using a formula with a varriable. The columns stay the same.
I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this? example:
A1 contains B
B1 contains 2
B2 contains "tribbles"
An imaginary function might go like this........
I have data similar as shown in the following:
A1A11
B2AA1122
C3B22
D4C33
D44
The idea is to add compare the cells of the first column with the third column. Where same letters/words exist, the corresponding value of the first column should be added to the second column (where no letter exists equally, the space remains empty), so it will look like this
A111
AA1122
B222
C333
D444
the third column always will have at least the same letters as the first column, but new letters/entries can occur.
I am trying to copy a value to a ref contained within another cell.
BF3 is where the formula is to copy

I think the problem is activecell = Mid(BJ1,1,5) which is the cell to which i want to paste the value. BJ1 contains the ref in text format of "H6" I am therefore trying to copy the value in BF3 to H6
