Referencing A Field With An Error In It

Mar 15, 2007

My problem is I have a field when imported occasionally has a #Value! error in it. Most of the records are fine. As I will be importing it into another DB I need to have the #Value! removed and replaced with a Zero. Here is what I tried. I have a field that is displaying a #value! error. In another field that is referencing that field I wanted to do the following if statement. Basically if that error value is displayed show a zero, else show the value of the square. (Note I also tried it with an IIF but got a # Name? error)

If((Q2) = "#Value!",0,(Q2))

Or should I be looking for an error? When I ran it, It basically gave me the value of the Q2 field.

If((Q2) = Error(#Value!),0,(Q2))

Or is there some other way to get around the error?

Referencing Sum With Calculated Field

Dec 14, 2011

I have a pivot table that looks like this:

Code:

productname impressions cost CPM
product1 1,000,000 4523 4.7
product2 5,000 2400 48.45
product3 3,000,500 6,000 3

CPM is a calculated field that uses the formula =cost/(impressions/1000)

The problem is that the numbers in the CPM field are not, in practice, the results of that formula. They are averages (since it's a data field, I had to choose whether it was to be a sum, average, etc.). This means that, for example, the CPM 4.5 on the first row is not a calculation using the two numbers to its left. It is the average of the output of thousands of calculations done on the raw data, in which every line item with a productname of product1 had its CPM calculated, and then all those output CPMs were averaged together.

This is not what I want. I want a field that calculates based on what's already in the pivot table. So that the formula would be more like:

=(sum of cost)/(sum of impressions)/1000

Referencing Time In An Array Field

May 8, 2009

I have data that I received from a feed. Each cell displays a value like 100, 200 or 300 or a time like 10:41:52 AM, but the formula bar depicts the array information ie =Q|TS!'AVAVA,45000,DEIPSCT'.

I'm working with the data where basically the time is the independent variable and the number is the dependent, very basic stuff BUT I cannot figure out how to reference the time.

Just trying to write a very simple if function such as =IF(G17="8:50:17 AM","start") and I can't figure out how to do it. Cell G17 is showing 8:50:17 AM.

Filter Pivot Table Field By Referencing Another Cell

Sep 26, 2012

I have a worksheet ("VillageReport") that contains several pivot tables. All tables are from the same data source and all pivot tables have "Location" as the first column field. I would like for the tables on this sheet to automatically be filtered when I select a village name from a drop down menu in a cell on this worksheet (C1). So, for example, when I select "Tarzana" in C1, the location field of all pivot tables on this sheet will show only Tarzana (all others are deselected).

a Macro for this? (I have already set up the drop down menu in C1). I have found some examples online but can't seem to adjust the code to fit my workbook. I am not very familiar with VBA.

Excel 2003 :: Referencing Multiple Items From Pivot Field In Macro?

Aug 8, 2012

I am trying to create a macro that will change all pivot fields with a certain name to the value I have the master pivot changed to. For example, I have 5 pivot tables, which each contain the field "Fruit". I want to change the 1st pivot table to "Apples", "Oranges", and "Pears" as active values, and then run the macro, making the other fruit fields also have these values. I can do it for single items, but when I need to do multiple items, I get an error message. I'm not sure how to write in VBA in order to do this.

Worksheets & Cell Referencing #REF! Error

Mar 18, 2009

I have 3 worksheets:

Lets call them RED, BLUE AND GREEN

Essentially GREEN pulls Values from BLUE and BLUE pulls Values from RED. Red being the base worksheet from which everything is calculated.

In my GREEN workbook I have the following =MIN('BLUE'!H14,'BLUE'!L14)

And this will work fine.....Until I press a clear Worksheet button that has been implemented on the RED worksheet (button was not implemented by me and I do not wish to edit anything with respect to that button)

When RED is reset the #REF! Error will appear in GREEN. This is fine because it cant find any values From BLUE. However when I do input new values into RED, which in turn updates BLUE which is where GREEN in theory should then be able to pull the results from.... But it just stays with a REF! error.

Is there anyway i can permanently set a CELL to have the following code =MIN('BLUE'!H14,'BLUE'!L14), no matter what happens to other cells?

VLOOKUP Cell Referencing #VALUE Error

Oct 1, 2009

I'm working on a spreadsheet for a gaming community. This sheet is used by more than 3000+ players and growing. It has to be updated roughly twice a week for new inventory items, which can range from 1 to 3 new items weekly.

To make it easier on new and existing members, I want to create a way to make updates with the spreadsheet easier and to allow players an easier way of updating the spreadsheet rather than re-entering all the data over and over again twice a week.

So, I started to use VLOOK in some formulas to look at the data and pull the corresponding information. However, this same information is used throughout the sheet and referencing this information has brought about #VALUE errors that I cannot seem to figure out how to get around.

I've included a copy of the spreadsheet to download and review in hopes of finding a solution.

Here's what this speadsheet is doing:
MyInventory is where the players will enter all their items, with some being drop-down selections and manual entry.
The LookupedInventory worksheet is where the VLOOKUP (columns C,G,J,Q,etc.) formula is used to look up entries in the MyInventory worksheet and pull their values over to the LookupedInventory worksheet.
Now these values from the LookupedInventory will be carried over into two other worksheets, InventoryTableAttack and InventoryTableDefense. These two worksheets are where my #VALUE errors are appearing. If the cell referenced is empty, the #VALUE error appears. However, if the cell references a number, the rest of the formulas tied to to this cell reference work. However, since there are errors, the rest of the worksheet cannot function until I fix all the #VALUE errors.
So, what I'm seeking is to see where my issue is and what I need to do to fix it.

If I need to take a different approach to this, please let me know what that is and how to go about doing it.

I've even thought about a macros that copies and paste all the current data from an older spreadsheet to the new one, but I'm not that good at macros. If I can stay away from macros, that would be good, but if not, then I'll have to dig in my heels and start leaning.

#REF! Error Referencing Worksheet After Importing Sheet

Feb 9, 2008

I have a template i'm making that is full of formula references to sheets not yet in existance in the workbook. what i want to happen is this: My code imports data files, renames the tabs to 1, 2, 3, 4... The formulas i already have are set in the CONCATENATED tab.... an example of such a formula is: ='1'!$P2.

so this should work, and yet it doesn't. the sheet is imported as it should be, the tab is renamed to 1, and yet the CONCATENATED sheet still shows #REF for the cell value. if i click in the cell, click in the text bar and enter out, the formula updates. there apparently is no option that i KNOW OF (although i'm sure there is something out there that does...) that will update this without me entering into the text bar and entering out.

Question: how do i manually update all references once the sheets to those references have been imported?

Lookup Referencing Closed File Returns Value Error

Aug 13, 2008

I have a file created in Excel 2003 that uses a vlookup to reference another file, also created in Excel 2003. The function returns VALUE when the referenced file is closed. I get the VALUE error whether or not I update links upon opening the file. If I open the source file, the function calculates properly.

Here is the formula when the referenced file is open:

=VLOOKUP(A38,'[June Scorecard confirmation.xls]VPSC Summary'!$C$10:$F$22,4,FALSE)

The full & correct path appears in the formula when the referenced file is closed.

Columns C, D & E in the referenced range contain text, column F contains a Sum. This file is linked to another file, also using lookups. The linked area in this file works without problem, but it is a precedent to the calculation in column F.

Both these files reside on a network in subdirectories of the same logical drive. I am using a laptop that briefly had Excel 2007 installed on it, but was wiped clean before it was issued to me.

PivotTable Error: Field Name Is Not Valid.

Jan 27, 2009

I successfully created two PivotTables two days ago, but when I added more rows of data to the source worksheet I could not refresh either PivotTable view. So after much frustration, I deleted both worksheets and again tried to create a new PivotTable using the wizard. I keep getting this error, and have no idea what it is telling me so that I can go about fixing it:

"The PivotTable field name is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field."

Date Format Error - General Number Field

Feb 18, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with a column full of dates

I used the formatting wizard to make all dates the format of dd/mm/yyyy but, now, when I put a date in the column it throws up a number '41313' instead of a date, even if I manually input the date in the same format as above.

Also, I have tried to turn cells back into general number fields, but this doesn't appear to be changing it back to a date format..

There are HUNDREDS of dates I might have lost if I can't get them to start showing as dates again!

Auto Populate Field With Date When Other Field Is Selected From Validation List

Jul 4, 2013

In the following extract, I would like to have today's date placed into Col K when an entry is made into Col J.

Entry into Col J is from a validation list of 3 options. What I desire is that when one of these options is selected ("Complete"), then I would like today's date to be written into Col K.

Currently Col K has a validation list which comprises dates from 1st of each month from July to June.

I need a fixed date as text preferably, so was thinking the VBA function "Date" on a Change Workbook Sub.

The information is currently part of a Table in Excel 2007 that has about 500 records.

May 30, 2007

I have a drop down menu where the user can chose between a,b,c and d. I would like to use this further in a formula. The formula is defined by me, although I dont think its relavant.

Lets say the drop down appears in B2, and I have got a formula called
Test1(B2). However this retunrs me an error. The contents of B2 is in string format.

- Test1(B2) does not work
- Test1(a) does work (assuming a is what B2 shows)

I would like to know how I can reference B2 as an argument in Formula, so it does not show error.
