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 workbook that uses the following for a list of names (in a specific cell) over multiple sheets:
Burns, Charles; Simpson, Bart; Smithers, Waylon; Wiggum, Ralph
Some names appear on different sheets. I would like to create a TOC sheet that lists what sheet each name shows up on. I can pull the names and have a list of all of them, but how to
a.) determine all of the sheets where each name shows up and, subsequently,
b.) how to programmatically create a hyperlink to whatever sheet(s) each name shows up on.
I've attached a dummy workbook. The column in question is Content Owners. There would be a link to each separate sheet in different cells adjacent to the name.

I'm in the leadup to my A2 ICT controlled conditions piece where i have to make an Excel system. My chosen subject for this is to use the school house points system. I'm going to make a system where the results of house matches are inputted and points are awarded accordingly.
I just have a couple of queries after looking at my initial designs.
1. Is it possible to get excel to look through a sheet, find a text reference, then bring up something in a cell located in the same row? For example, for it to locate one of the House team names, then go along the row and find the ammount of house points they have in order to make a total for them. Is this also possible over a number of sheets? (In order to keep a running total on a separate sheet).
E.G. House, Games Played, Wins, Losses, Draws, House Points
2. For the house cross country event they use a different system which differs from everything i have designed. What i basically need to do is be able to use a drop down against each finishing position where you can select one of the four house teams, then it takes the points won for that finishing position and puts them into a table.
I have 2 workbooks in Excel 2010, each contain just 1 sheet. (see attached) I need to compare on sheet 1, cell D1 and column A:A (this column will be much longer), with the data in columns C:C & A:A on sheet 2, if a corresponding match is found, the data contained in column D on the same row on sheet 2 is written to the cell with the matching data in sheet 1.
My attempt is in cell D2 on sheet1.
In Sheet2 I have a list of cell addresses showing values such as D5, D32, D59, D221, D869 stored in cells AB7:AB16. In Sheet1 the "D" column holds dates. I want to return the corresponding date for each D# cell into Sheet2 in column AC7:AC16. I'm unaware of the proper syntax for this. I though it would look something like:
='Sheet1'!('Sheet2'!(AB7))
however that doesn't work.
How can this be done?
E.g. say I want to create a list of cells each referencing to the first, second, third sheet, and so on.
Say, on one sheet cell A1 references to the second sheet's A1, cell A2 references to the third sheet's A1, and so on.
Ideally I'd love to be able to write something like
=Worksheet(1)!A1
=Worksheet(2)!A1
=Worksheet(3)!A1
and so on.
I want to do a loop where you can copy say A3 worksheet 1 then add another sheet naming the work sheet "A3" then copying A3 worksheet 1 to A1 "A3". After that looping to A4 to a new work sheet naming the work sheet "A4"copying the value to A1 "A4", etc...
Is there a simply way of doing this loop? I can probably fit my other coding into the structure.
This function =INDIRECT(""&A17&"!"&$A$8) works only once or twice. Then I rewrite it as =INDIRECT(""&A17&"!"&A8), without the dollar sign, $, at A8. But then that only works once or twice.
This is how it works: In Grid A17, type name of worksheet in which to perform the data search. Then, the function goes to that worksheet and selects the data in Grid A8.
I have a workbook containing multiple sheets for documents issued to manufacturers. I have a summary sheet which contains all of the documents and I would like to be able to look up a document number against all the sheets, and return the name (or names if multiple finds) of the sheets containing this document.
I have got close to solving this by finding another post[URL] .... but I believe this doesn't work because it searches on values rather than matching text.
I have attached a simplified example file with the sheets to search being Fab 1, Fab 2 and Fab 3, and the formula need to go into column B of the Main Sheet.
Example for Ozgrid Forum.xlsm
Is it possible to have a sheetname reference in a cell?
A1 = "Exhibit A"
and have a formula as such?
=IF($A4"",(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($D$2,' Exhibit A'!38:38,0)),"x","")),"")
where the sheetname in bold is pulled in by a reference to cell A1?
I have an IF statment that looks at a sheet but I would like it to look at certain sheets I.E. sheet 2,4,5,6.
Sub SelectPrintArea2()
For Each ws In Worksheets
If Range("Sheet4Q5").Value > 0 Then
Range("A1:AA47").Select
ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$AA$47"
ElseIf Range("C5").Value > 0 Then
Range("A1:M47").Select
ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$M$47"
End If
Next ws
End Sub
But it will only look at the sheet it is in and not any of the other sheets. I've tried to tell it which sheets but I just get errors.
I have, on one sheet, a list of incumbent employees that includes the following columns: Job Title [text] and Salary [number].
I am trying to automatically populate a second sheet with columns designating: A list of each unique job title (no duplicates), the maximum salary corresponding to each unique job title, and the minimum salary corresponding to each unique job title.
Lastly, I'm an attorney dealing with confidential client data, so I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to post an example... but I'll do it if necessary.
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.

I'd like to be able to refer to a cell or local scope defined name within my sheet that references another sheet, or accomplish the same functionality in some way.
For example, if I have a sheet MyInformation and then another sheet MyPrintedInformation, where the printed information sheet shows MyInformation in a more printer-friendly format, I might have this in MyPrintedInformation:
a cell or defined name that says (this doesn't work, but just as an example):
let's call the named variable TheSheetToPrint
='MyInformation'. Then from within MyPrintedInformation all of my references look like this
Some cell :
=TheSheetToPrint!A2
I have a problem how to do the next:
A1 cell contains title of some test
The next cells on bottom line (B2:B10) contains the results of the this test.
On another Sheet i want to analyze those results, thus I need the results from Sheet1 be copeid to sheet2. I want just to indicate the test name (A1 location) and the rest of the cells will be copeid automatically(relative reference, relatively to A1).
I have a formula that pulls data from another sheet using standard reference of sheetname! I want to build this forumla to use several sheets, and would like to pull the sheet names from other cells.
For example... instead of LEMONS!a1 and LIMES!B2
I would like to use REF1!a1 and REF2!B2
where REF1 and REF2 are pulled from cell Z1 which contains test 'Lemons' and cell Z2 which contains text 'Limes'
How can I do 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..
Is it possible for the VBA code to capture the open workbook name and sheet name from a cell?
I've been trying to tweak this ...
How do you define the syntax to copy a cell reference from one worksheet to a different cell reference in another worksheet.
This did not work for me:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C5")
I have several worksheets and I want to summarize all of their data on the main page. The second worksheet is called Grady, the third worksheet is called Stella and the forth worksheet is called Westminster.
On the Main Page cell B1 is, "Grady", C1 is, "Stella" and D1 is, "Westminster". On B5 I need the value of cell C5 on Grady but I don't want to have to type it in as this formula will have to be carried over for several columns.
Currently I have:
Code:
=Grady!C5
In cell B5 on the main page but I want:
Code:
=B1!C5
But this only gives me #REF!
Can this be done without using VBA?
Im currently located in Sheet1. I want to reference a cell in Sheet2.Range("B2") using a R1C1 reference.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter having searched for a while I can't seem to find any formula that will look at a cell for reference as to which sheet to go to and return a certain cell's contents.
For example,
in column A, I have the text "Sheet1" and in column B, I need the formula to return the contents of cell B15 from Sheet1, based upon column A.
I have Excel 2007, here's what i want to do. I've got a workbook created with several worksheets in it. I want to input the name of a project in say, cell A1 on sheet1. Then on sheet2 cell C4, I want the text I input into the afore mentioned cell to show. I know how do do this with numbers (using the autosum button), but I can't figure out how to do it with text, though it's probably very simple & I'll be embarassed when I get an answer. Following is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do if the above example is confusing.
I have a Project Cost sheet and on it I input (text) a description of a building to be constructed. The cells next to it will be the associated costs of that particular building. There will be several buildings listed on the sheet. On a Sales Figures Sheet in the same workbook, I want to list those same buildings and then their corresponding sales prices. I want these descriptions to be automatically pulled from the costs sheet, so that I only have to input the sales figures.
Im trying to copy a formula to a cell via VBA.

Ive tried all sorts of ', ", &, combinations, I cannot find it.
I'm looking for a way to reference a cell in another sheet, specifying the sheet in which to look in another cell. Does anyone know of a way to do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCreate a macro button in 'Spreadsheet 2' that searches 'Spreadsheet 1' for updated information specific to a certain criteria and adds it to a new row in 'Spreadsheet 2.'
There are three sheets
Prospects (where all original data is entered)
Actions -Bob (Bob's new Prospects are added to this sheet)

i have two sheets, one to display results (Reults tab) & the other tab containing the data (Data tab)
what i am trying to do is some how create a search function and have a forumula which contains a LIKE function that looks up the data table
RANGE = Data!A2:K255
the search needs to lookup the primary column Data!B2:B255 ... if any results are found .. show them on the results tab.. and if multiple results are found, display those as well.. (in either instance, the whole row of information in respect to the results need to be dislayed and hopefully no duplicates are found .. eg, Data!A:K of a hit)
is there a formula that can achieve this? oh, the search is TEXT based and there should be no empty cells within the dataset
after some MASSIVE googling, i have stumbled accross this
B1 = Search box (txt field)
A6 (which will be a hidden column) contains =MATCH($B$1,Data!A2:A255,0). this formula provides the first instance of the result and provides the row number
A7 contains =MATCH($B$1,OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6+1,0,8-(A6+1),1),0)+A6.
this is supposed to look for the next row number which contains a match and provide that row number
and througout my other columns, i have
B6=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,1)
B7=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,2)
B8=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,3)
and so on
2 things i cannot recitify..
1, the match has to be EXACT ... unfortunately i cannot use exact .. needs to be LIKE .. eg, i cant use the search word "boat" as the range of data has "boats"
2, it comes up with multile .. irrelevent results.
I am trying to create a formula that references information on two different sheets, but i want it to show me the values that are newly created when a new row is inserted. The two current sheets are Master and Data.
I have a formula on Master that reads ='Data'!$K$3 to reference the value on Sheet data in cell K3. When a new row is inserted showing me the current readings, I want the Master sheet to show me the NEW value in cell K3 on the data sheet. The problem is, the insert of a row moves the formula on the Master sheet to now be ='Data'!$K$4. How can i STOP the insertion of a row from changing the formula so i continue to see the value i need?
I have this formula in excel 2007:
=COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"1";Blad1!X:X;"H")+COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"6";Blad1!X:X;"H").
Blad is Dutch for sheet, by the way.
In this formula, I want to let the ranges in Sheet1 be dependent of values in Sheet2. The formula itself is in Sheet2.
W must be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B12 and X to be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B9.
I tried this by using the INDIRECT formula, but the quotation marks of the search values are giving errors.
