I've found on this newsgroup a function to get the previous sheet
name
Function PrevSheet()
On Error GoTo EndFunction
Application.Volatile True
PrevSheet = Application.Caller.Worksheet.Previous.Name
Exit Function
EndFunction:
With Application.Caller.Parent.Parent.Worksheets
PrevSheet = .Item(.Count).Name
End With
End Function
when i put =PrevSheet() i get the previous sheets name
What i want to be able to do is use this in place of directly
referencing the sheet name in my code as follows...
=IF(G4-J4<0,G4-J4,G4-J4)+'Week 1'!H4
So i want to be able to replace Week 1 with PrevSheet but i've tried
and falied on this. eg...
=IF(G4-J4<0,G4-J4,G4-J4)+PrevSheet()!H4
Could someone show me the correct syntax for this.
We have a sizeable Excel workbook that contains many worksheets for various things, everything works smoothly except for one minor niggle.
I am looking for a formula that references to a cell on a previous worksheet, the worksheet could be named anything (eg A1, B, 2, 3.4, etc). Then to add 1, ideally the first worksheet inserted must equal, say, 0 BUT can reference the sheet previous as this is a constant; so something along the lines of...
Cell A1 =magic formula Cell A2 =A1+1
This is to get a vlookup to work consistently.
OR another option is, for the worksheet to reference an already populated worksheet and read down a table by adding one to reference the cells. Eg first sheet reads ='schedule'!A13, the next sheet added would read A14 then A15 etc...
OR a worksheet (like page numbers) count into a cell onto each worksheet inserted, eg on worksheet 6 in cell A1 the number 6 would be inserted then worksheet 7 would have 7 inserted into A1 etc..
I am trying to compare values from this week to last week with the exception that will overlook holidays. ie, from Monday to last Monday. But I am running into an issue if there is a holiday in the week as my formulas are looking for the value 5 days prior to the current day.
what im hoping to do is when i press macro button"click to sort" on sheet totals
it will automatically input the totals from "TOTALS" underneath the right name and put the date in column a the trouble is the cells are dependant on the sort so if i was to press "click to sort" now it would transfer this data to sheet "PTS AND DATES"
09/02/09 in cell a2 1146 in b2 861 in c2 860 in d2 849 in e2 806 in f2
the very next time i press it , it will put data into row 3.
I've got a workbook that increments in sheets for each new week. I have a cell showing the current week number for that sheet ( lets say cell C1) and any formulas that need to reference data from the previous sheet do in 'indirect' function which basically looks at the current week number ( lets say week 20)in cell C1 and minus's 1 to navigate to the previous week (week 19).
I was wondering if there was a way to reference the previous sheet purely by the order they're in.
So say i have 5 sheets named "1,4,5,8,9" and these represent week numbers so the sheet named '8' in cell C1 would have '8' standanding for the week number but cells that wanted to reference the previous sheet couldn't do the 'indirect' C1-1 as there is no 'week 7'.
The weeks used could vary alot so a formula to reference the directly previous sheet is needed.
the '$A$G2-1' part is the bit that redirects to the previous sheet based on it's name, what i think i really need is to replace this part with a 'PrevSheet' function but i'm unsure how.
Below is a macro I'm trying to create. The basically it's supposed to be a quick simple macro to save lots of time. I want to select current tab, move/copy (create copy) to the end....then select the tab I've just copied and copy paste special the values (then rename the tab to todays date) FYI the tab I'm copying is called rebuy shipping.
However, I want to then do the same at a later date with the most recent tab, but with the below code it always selects and copies the original tab:
I'm listing through sheets and have Sheet2 for drop-down lists.
Sheet2 is not visible, but when I click on Cmdbutton It appears so that I can change values in drop-downs. When I hide Sheet2 again, I want to be back on sheet before Sheet2.
I am working within a workbook with many worksheets and I want the ability to go back to the previous sheet I was on (example - I am on sheet 23, go to sheet 16, I want to be able to have a button or link that takes me back to sheet 23)
After a formula to copy the contents of a cell in the previous sheet in a workbook, so that if I was to copy the last sheet in a workbook the formula would automatically reference the cell from the copied worksheet and so on if I copied tht one.
Hope this makes sense I have a lot of formulas referencing the previous sheet and everytime I copy this sheet to create a new sheet I have to change the sheet number in the formulas.
eg, in sheet 8 this formula get info from sheet 7 cel J30 ='7'!J30 when i copy the sheet to create a new one (Sheet 9) I would like the new formula to automatically be ='8'!J30.
I have created a toolbar that has "Previous Worksheet" and "Next Worksheet" buttons on it with the following macros assigned:
Sub NextSheet() On Error Resume Next If ActiveSheet. Name = "Problem Listing" Then MsgBox "This is the last worksheet." Else ActiveSheet.Next.Select End If End Sub
Sub PreviousSheet() On Error Resume Next If ActiveSheet.Index = 1 Then MsgBox "This is the first worksheet." Else ActiveSheet.Previous.Select End If End Sub
This seems really simple but the code crashes after 4 or 5 repeated clicks of the button.
I found some VBA code that saves the previous value entered into a cell and displays it as a comment. I've attached that workbook as an example, but I want to change 3 things.
1) I only want to capture the previous values from Sheet1.Column1 (you'll see the example captures changes on the whole sheet1). 2) I want to 'paste' the previous value of Sheet1.Column1 in the corresponding row of Sheet1.ColumnD (i.e. the previous value of A5 will be displayed in D5). The code currently pastes the value in the corresponding address in sheet2. 3) I do not need the comments part. Simply displaying the previous value in the corresponding row of Sheet1.ColumnD is good enough.
I'd like to make a template so that when it is opened the previous month name is inserted in the sheet name. The reason I want to use previous month is that normally this report is created in the month following the month being reported. So it is opened, months are updated, then the user saves as xls. Ideally I guess sheet would not have the month on the template.
The name of the sheets are shortened months like "Dec Results Bob" and there are 8 of these.
I can tell it might start:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() (or would .xlt be the same?)
but that's about it. I made a macro of renaming sheet but that didn't really tell me if I could insert the Month there.
if it is possible te refer to a cell in another worksheet.
I have 10 worksheets in sheet one I put in cel A4 a digit en sheet 2 I put the formula that refers to sheet 1 cel A4.
Now I want a formula that refers to sheet -1 so in sheet 3 the formula automatically refers to sheet 2 cel A4 and in sheet 4 the formula automatically refers to sheet 3 cel A4 without corrections to the formula.
see attached file. Need to find latest non blank value - in attached file it is highlighted in yellow. From there, want to summarise 26 weeks back so, in the attached file:
Row 2 would be finding 750 and summarised back 26 weeks from 30 sep 2012 Row 3 would be finding 2250 and summarised back 26 weeks from 2 dec 2012 Row 4 would be finding 5000 and summarised back 26 weeks from 4 nov 2012
I currently have a large spreadsheet that multiple people fill out. Each person fills out all the information in a row. At the end of the row, I would like a button that says "Generate Form" so that when clicked, a new sheet automatically opens with a template form that I created and is already filled out with the information that was just inputted into the spreadsheet. Also, there are four different template forms that could generate. For example, there are forms A, B, C and D. If the user inputs "B" into the first column of the row, then when he goes to click "Generate Form", a new sheet is created with all the information filled out in Form B.
let's say I run a macro from a button on sheet 3, macro process on sheet 10. Is there a way that the macro would automatically go back to sheet 3? Like a "Back" button on IE. I can't code Sheets("sheet 3").Select because I want it to do the same thing on sheet 4,5,6...
If I have a cell that has as its contents as sheet name, is there anyway I can use the cell's address to reference that sheet?
As an example, say I have in Sheet1, cell A1, the text Sheet2. And let's say I want to return the value of cell B2 on whichever sheet the text of A1 says. So, on Sheet1, I might have this:
I have a spreadsheet that shows a large number of folks we had working in a particular division from Jan. 1st until now, 1800 +. Some of the folks are on the sheet twice due to having more than one role. The sheet lists last name, first name, skill description, pay rate, company they worked at...etc. Most of the folks on the list are not currently working but some are. I have another spread sheet that lists the folks that ARE currently working. I'm trying to see if there is a way to compare the two sheets, via a formula, that will be able to identify when the first name, last name, company name, and skill description are the same and then have those identified deleted from the first sheet.
To get the content of cells in other sheets of the workbook you refer to the 'Name' of the sheet and write e.g.:
[Code] ....
However, I need to refer to the '(Name)' of the sheet rather than the 'Name', i.e. 'Sheet1' rather than 'Fruit', and I would like to do it in a formula not using VBA.
I have a spreadsheet, that I have been using for years to estimate jobs. I started learning excel, by building this sheet. It is still a work in progress, as am I. I am always trying to figure out ways to make my life simpler by making the sheet more intelligent. I would like to be able to go from one sheet, to another and click on a part name, which would return a value associated with that part name, to an additive formula on the first sheet, to build and assembly. And, eventualy build a parts list from it as well. For ordering parts.
Sheet 2 contains my checking ledger and sheet 1 is my summary page that I would like to have show current balance from the ledger. Is there a way to reference a value from sheet 2 on sheet 1?
I am using a sumif function that will sum a reference off another sheet. I want to use a cell in the current sheet(where the formula exist) to reference the target sheet. Is this possible.
For instance: I believe you have to use indirect for to have formula reference a sheet name I have two sheets, "Win" & "Lose" On "Win" sheet I have this function =sumif(indirect(J180)G1:G20,"room",E1:E20) On cell J180 of "Win" tab will be "Lose". I am trying to have the formula reference J180 as part of the function and have it sum anything in the "Lose" tab that has the word "room" in it.
How do you reference a table on another sheet so that when you sort that original table it doesn't change the reference you made on that other sheet.
i know how to do this when i am referencing a cell. for instance if i am referencing a cell on sheet 5 and that comes out to something like =Sheet5!B2, i know that when i sort the data differently in sheet 5, that reference will know to change to =Sheet5!B18 or where ever that original reference ends up in this new sorting. but if I do =Table5[2] or something, and i sort that table differently, the reference will change to the new data in that cell and will not follow old reference through the new sort.
I have a the following function: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*ROW(F35:G45))-21,SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*COLUMN(F35:G45))))
I'm trying to put the get the value of it from a different Sheet. say this function is in Sheet1 and I wish to place the equation in Sheet3 - what should I change? I tried INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!F35:G45=K40)... nothing works.
what the function does? there are 2 tables. table 1 has values and table 2 has values as well. K40 is the user input --it reflects the number in table2 and the return value is the 'reference' in table1. for example, if table2 in F41 has the number 54 and the reference for it in table1 is $344, when the user types 54 in K40 the returned result in the function will be $344
I have attached my workbook. What I would like to do is to have an input box to where you input the Material, Gauge, and Size and then have it return the rest of the values on Sheet 1. The material is listed as the worksheet name and the other information is inside that sheet. For ex... I would enter in Stainless, 7, 48x120 and it would give me the rest on sheet 1. I am totally lost, I have tried several different things but am coming up with nothing.
I'm working on a formula to get the the path of a picture on a different sheet in a workbook. I am trying to get use the hyperlink function to reference that cell on the the other sheet. It looks right but I get an error saying that it cannot open the specified file.
This is what my formula looks like:
=HYPERLINK(ADDRESS(4,12,2,,"Sheet 1"),2)
I need it to actually get the actual text value of the cell I am trying to reference. How would I do that?
