I have made a pivot table which I use each month by just updating the source data, however I was trying to have a cell in another workbook say "=A31" but it keeps going "=getpivotdata(...specific name".
My usual practice was to copy the top ten rows of my pivot table into another file but I am trying to erase this step.
On a worksheet, I created:
- a list of data
- a pivottable based on these data
When moving this worksheet this worksheet to another workbook, the pivot table can't refresh anymore. This throws an error message "Reference is not valid". To work around this problem I need to adapt the datasource. The same occurs if the list and the pivot table are on separate sheet, with the added strange behaviour that, when data an PT are split, it is not possible to move both sheet together.
This would not be a big issue if my problem had to be solved manually. The real problem is that I need to move the sheets from a C# program.
I want to reference a table (not a pivot table) from another Excel file. I want it to update automatically if the original table is changed in any way.

I got the first part done, but I can't figure out how to make the pivot table to incorporate new data in the summary sheet as new worksheets/data is added.
I have a pivot Table with region & product wise as shown in the enclosed file. While calculating % of each item in region it is referring to grand total or total of column. Is there any way how to get this % calculated in regard of subtotal region.

I tried using a pivot table but it doesn't let me filter for "less than or equal to" values for the request date.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that reports data on a daily basis within a month. I receive data daily from a different workbook and import the data for the day in its correct worksheet which has functions that automatically calculate everything I need, which then gets collected from a central worksheet which accumulates the "Total".
However, I have recently added 2 new pivot tables to my analysis, and apparently when i copy/paste the pivot tables to each new sheet, the data source is references the original sheet where the pivot tables come from.
I tried doing a dynamic name range, and that states the worksheet name in its reference as well.
How can I make a Pivot Table, gather the information from the same range $A$1:$J$5000, but only for the sheet in which the Pivot Table lies.
The sheets are labeled by the day of the month.
So, data for February 1, 2009 is worksheet "1"
February 14, 2009 is "14"
without the ""
I have a very strange problem with a pivot table in Excel 2007. The source data is in a table in another workbook, stored on a shared network drive. We have 7 PCs in our office, and on 6 of them the pivot table refreshes fine. On the other, it always comes up with an error message that the reference is not valid, even if the source workbook is open. This particular PC is connected by a cable, so it can't be a wireless network problem.
All the PCs have got all updates installed, and as far as I can see the Trust Centre settings are the same (the problem PC can run macros from the same folder without problems). The really annoying thing is that the user of the problem PC is the only person who actually needs to refresh the data as part of her job.
I am trying to create a pivot table on a new sheet names as 4x4
I am getting following error:
Error : 1004
Reference Not Valid
I am not sure where is the problem. I have generated this code by using macro recorder and just changed the source and destination of the pivot generation code.
I have a set of sales data and need to create a run rate which is simply = Total Sales/Selling Day
Selling day changes most days.
I put the calculation into my pivot data but it's summing up, (instead on 12 I get 720) so I changed this to Average so I get the right figure in the Pivot but when I then use this field, it doesn't use the Average amount, it uses the summed figure.
So what I need is Total Sales/X
X = Cell Reference
I have a table that displays data from another worksheet. This is what the cell reference behind the table look like:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI do a payroll workbook for my small company. Each sheet inside the workbook is a month. Each sheet totals the monthly labor categories. I would like to keep a "year to date" total on each employee and therefore would have to reference each sheet.
Setting up a formula (or tell me where to look) on how to total worksheets inside a workbook?
Example: the workbook contains a total of 12 sheets, representing the 12 months of the year. Add "cell reference" from sheet 1 to sheet 2 to sheet 3 to reach a total, then when sheet 4 is completed it contains the cumulative totals of all 4 sheets, etc., etc. Where I can look at this "year to date total" and compare to last years "year to date total".
I did a data table yesterday and it worked. I tried again today and the results are incorrect. They are coming out as a constant (the same result as the original formula). Has anyone had this happen before and figured out how to fix? My spreadsheet is fairly complex. Does the data table formula need to refer to the "base" cells? For example, if the formula refers to cell F15, but in F15 the formula is +C15, does my data table formula need to use C15?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with two pivot tables, one of which is visible to the user. Ideally, the user should be able to change the "Row Label" field settings of the visible pivot table and then press an "update button" that then adds the same field to the second pivot table.
Ideally, the ordering of the fields should also be made similar between the two tables, though this is of less priority.
I imagine it would be something in the style of:
"If number of Pivot1 active row label fields = X then
Pivot 2.AddRowLabelField = Pivot1.RowLabelField(X)
end if"
attached is a spreadsheet 6 people in my area use daily(ive copied and pasted the sheet in question to a new worksheet, as the file was too big). Ive been trying for about 3 days now to make a pivot table to summarise this data.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table of values that are computed using input values from the first column (y's) and first row (x's). Each value in the table (z's) has a unique set of x and y.
In order to plot z vs x and z vs y I need to create a list of unique x,z and another of y,z. My question is how most efficiently to thus turn this table "inside out." The table will be very large, or I would do it by hand.
I have data that develops 3 to 4 pivot table each day. I would like to know if there is a way to change the date on one of the pivot table and have the other pivot tables date change to match with the first pivot table. At this time I am going to all 3 or 4 pivot table to select the correct date. The date is in the page position of the pivot table. I have attached a small sample of the data and the pivot tables.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a spreadsheet to anticipate the corrosion rates on multiple equipments, based on 4 criterias. At the moment, we type them down one by one and we search for the corresponding value inside the table we have.
Temperature
CS (carbon steel)
%Sulfur
TAN
[< 50-100]
[>100 - 150]
[>150 - 200]
[>200 - 250]
[code]....
These values aren't the real ones, but it looks like that. So, if I have a piece of equipment made of CS, I look at the specific table for CS (There are about 7 different groups of materials). I consider the %Sulfur, TAN# and the specific temperature. You also have to consider that this table is repeated with different outputs for higher level of %sulfur (>0.6, up to about 3%)
EX - Material = CS, %Sulfur = 0.4, TAN# = 0.7, Temp = 152, my value will be 9 (the bold numbers are the outputs). There is no linear relation or any sort of mathematical way to obtain the output, you have to look at the table.
In my mind, this part of my spreadsheet should look just like that :
Material
%Sulfur
TAN#
Temperature
CORR RATE
W
X
Y
Z
= Output
The excel part now, I tried working with IF() to specify a table to use as the TRUE value, trying to group multiple IF statement into one, but searching values inside multiple ranges is very tedious and I cannot cover all the possibilities... Then I tried working with INDEX() and MATCH() but again, these are not exact values, they are ranges, making the work even harder. Building an output with multiple criterias that are simple and exact is easy, I just can't seem to work it out with ranges.
trying to find a way to insert a table into an active chart area.
unlike inserting charts as objects inside of a spreadsheet, i am trying to insert a table of the spreadsheet into the chart window.
the purpose is so that i may have a numerical reference to my data.
usually i post questions to which i have begun work on - but i have had no luck even brainstorming how this would be done!
the ONLY solution i have surmised is to insert a table into a chart area as an Object(picture)
but how would one write a macro for making dynamic range screen shotpicture files?
I know how to turn a column reference in a structured data table into an absolute reference:
=Table1[A] becomes =Table1[[A]:[A]]
However, how to make a cell reference, like this one, absolute to that it still locks on this row, column A when I drag it across. I don't want to use copy & paste, as I have other cell references that i need to leave dynamic.
=Table1[[#This Row],[A]]
I've seen that @ can lock rows, but I don't seem to be able to lock an individual cell.
I have a worksheet that uses a lot of vlookups and I have to update the filenames and locations quite often. I would like to update a single cell rather than updating every single formula.
However I am getting the #VALUE error when trying this.
Simplified Example:
I have: =VLOOKUP(A3,[Table.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4,2,FALSE)
I would like to place [Table.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4 into a cell (D1) for example.
And have my vlookup function as =VLOOKUP(A3,$D$1,2,FALSE)
This way I only have to update D1 when I want to change the filename instead of a whole lot of functions.
Sheet 1 contains:
Item Sheet 2
ABC =vlookup(A2,'Sheet 2'!$A:$B,2,false)
Sheet 2 contains:
Item Data
ABC 2
I'm trying to get the vlookup to return the value "2"
Right now, I'm manually entering the tab name in the vlookup function, even though it's contained in cell B1.
The tabs are contained in the same workbook if that matters. Since this workbook is growing rather quickly, this is a painful process and doesn't feel very scalable. Since I'm using a mac, I need to do this with functions vs. macros. Does anybody know how I can reference a cell for the name of a tab in the vlookup function?
I was thinking I could maybe somehow do this with the INDIRECT function but I'm stumped.
I have a data table that looks like this:
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
2.00%
276.04
[Code]....
all the RATE numbers are manually entered.
now, if i reference the 3.00% number under the RATE column to the INPUT cell that I entered when I setup the data table, this happens:
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
[Code]....
this is obviously not correct, it is the value for the entry above.
and...
if i make ALL of the RATE cells then relative to the 3.00% one... (in other words 2.00% is actually =A5-0.01 and 4% is actually =A5+0.01)
i get...
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
2.00%
250.00
[Code]...
this is weird b/c the number for the first one and last one never change, but all the ones in-between change.
incidentally, the formula which is being solved is simply a 30k loan pmt for 10yrs ( =PMT(RATE/12,120,30000)*-1 )
I have a data tabel in Sheet 1 & Sheet 2
In sheet 3 they are combined via reference in order for me to do calculation in the input - They are combined in sheet3 as the columns are not identical.
Because the data-tables will be updated via sharepoint, i have to link to cells beneath the data-tables as i expect these will be fill out when the tables update.
My problem is that when the tables update, i dont see the updates in my "combination" sheet. it appears the the data tables add a new line, which moves my cell reference 1 line down.
Ex: Had a reference in Sheet1'E3 - after the data table updates the reference is now Sheet1'E4.
I have a cell, C2, that will have a tab name pasted into it each time a new page is created. This name will be equivalent to a filter in PivotTable1 on that page.
Is there a way that I can have it that when the name is pasted, the filter "Time" can be linked to that cell and update in the pivot table?
In VBA code, what's the simplest way to verify whether a cell is a member of a pivot table or not? I have a complicated way of doing this by checking if creating a formula in another cell with a reference to the cell in question generates the GETPIVOTDATA function; however, it seems like there should be a much simpler way.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder) The names of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other". I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done. One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to copy the value of one column to another, column A has date and time in this format: 6/1/2013 6:35:00 AM and I'm trying to get ONLY the dates to another column so that when I do my pivot, I can sort it out by date. I tried =A1 and I can format the column to how I want it but the value of the cell still remains in date&time. Is there any formula I can use? or should I change anything in my pivot table?
