I have two sheets in the same work book and I want to pull values through from one to the other. So its a simple =Sheet2!B45 or whatever yeah?
But no! What Excel 2007 does when I hit enter is to swap the Sheet!2 bit for "C:documents and Settingsmy documentsspreadsheetsmyworkbook!Sheet2!B45" or some such.
Why the hell does it do that and how can I stop it.
I have 3 Workbooks. I want a reference in Wookbook1 that will be valid for both Workbook2 and Workbook3 based on which one is opened.
If Workbook1 is opened and Workbook2 is also opened, a Worksheet in Workbook1 will be populated with information from Workbook2.
If Workbook2 is closed and Workbook3 is opened, without changing the referencing or links in Workbook1, Workbook1 will again be populated with information from the opened Workbook3.
I have a workbook (Workbook A) which I need to lookup ( Vlookup() )something in a different workbook (Workbook B). In workbook A I need to lookup many (I mean hundreds) of values.
My question is: What do i put in the function tab (where we put the formulas and references) to lookup values in different workbooks? And if possible, is there a way to define a workbook A to ALWAYS look up values in a defined workbook B.
I have got a master workbook and I have written macro to copy and paste data on another workbook. write a macro to save the new workbook to a file path with a file name where both file name and path are stored in master workbook sheet...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with a formula that references another workbook, and I'm not sure what the culprit is.
The formula is this: =IF(ISERROR(E4/VLOOKUP(D4,'C:Documents and SettingsusernameMy DocumentsRoom Capacity Master List.xlsx'!Table2[#All],2)),"",E4/VLOOKUP(D4,'C:Documents and SettingsusernameMy DocumentsRoom Capacity Master List.xlsx'!Table2[#All],2))
It works just fine on the initial pass. When I reopen the book and it prompts if I'd like to update the data, and I select yes, everything goes away. Cells E4 and D4 are both part of a PivotTable, not sure if that is important or not. This is happening on Excel 2010 running on XP.
From the Active Workbook how do I run these commands?
The syntax is way wrong, but will show what I'm after...
Code:
debug.Print Workbook("1990a.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").cells(20, "A")
Workbook("1990a.xls").Worksheets("Sheet2").cells(20, "A")= "testing"
I have a challenge with Vlookups!
I have one workbook called Ratecards, which contains various tabs which are named based on a client code. e.g. ABC02
I then have another workbook which has employees in column B and the client code in C3.
The current Vlookup is =VLOOKUP(B8,'[ratecards.xlsx]ABC02'!$A$5:$N$168,4,false) which works fine for one client.
I want to substitute the ABC02 in the vlookup for cell ref C3, as the contents of C3 is variable and I want it to tell the sheet which ratecard to refer to.
Is it possible to reference a named range in a workbook that is not active, one that has been closed but still available within a directory. This closed workbook has named ranges that are being added to from time to time so the named range is growing.
This workbook is to be use as a master list of all data that will be used for validation, VLOOKUPS and what ever other types of referencing I may need in other workbooks which are ALL created from the ONE template, so each workbook will be setup exactly the same, but NOT the MASTER LIST OF DATA.
If it is possible I'll definately need help with code.
Regarding the Template I'm using, I'd like to add a new sheet and have the functionality of buttons and drop down boxes to access saved workbooks (which will all be in the same directory) and also the ability to create a new workbook from my template by perhaps using a button.
I've written somewhat complex code (well complex by my standards) on my own computer and I have tried to put the project onto another computer so that they can use it. The code involves opening a workbook and then saving it under the variable name strName1. Then it activates another workbook and puts information into that workbook from the strName1 workbook. The strName1 workbook is open this whole time. However, I get an out of range error when trying to do this part (the code is shown below).
ActiveCell = Workbooks(strName1). Sheets("Basic Overview").Range("B1").Value
I am confused because this works alright on my computer, I have copied the root directories for the file exactly as it is on my computer and when debugging the code I can see that it has picked up the variable strName1 correctly (so this isn't the problem). I've also tried writing the entire root directory in insetad of just Workbooks(strName1) but it still says its out of range.
I'm reading data, from specific cells off a closed workbook. When the sheet that needs said cell data is activated, it automatically opens the workbook and references the sheet nessecary. The issue I've come across, is I now need to access another workbook (Easy to open) with 12 sheets 1 for each month, and only read from the worksheet of the actual Month...
Kind of lost on how to possibly make this work. I basically need something like:
=location/[workbook.xls]Month(Today())!cell
I am trying to create a one-page spreadsheet which links info from other various spreadsheets. There is one spreadsheet I am trying to link to which has information listed where Column A is the product name, Column B is the UPC and Column C is the sales rank. I created an offset formula that pulls the top 5 rated items by sales rank (Column C) into my new spreadsheet, but whenever the source workbook is closed, I get error messages. Is there a way around this so the workbook I am pulling my information from does not have to be open.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried using PULL from Harlan Grove's posts to workaround this but am coming up with #VALUE errors.
Here's what I have:
Column B contains the acct # being referenced e.g. 5230
Column E="_"&Br where r is the row #
Column F=MATCH($B$3,INDIRECT(Er&"Rows")) where _acct#Rows is a named
range referring to an external workbook e.g. _5230Rows
Columns G-R=INDEX(INDIRECT($Er),$Fr,COLUMN(G$6)) where_acct# is a named
range referencing an external workbook e.g. _5230
I thought that INDEX($Er, $Fr, COLUMN(G$6)) should work in Columns G-R however it returns #REF!
I need a solution to replace INDIRECT so I do not have to have both workbooks open together. The named ranges are static, but reference external workbooks.
At my work we are using Excel as a CMS to produce SQL scripts for insertion into a database. The data is then turned into mobile web pages. This involves multiple workbooks - 1 for each main page with the sub-pages as extra worksheets in the book.
Much of the data is duplicated so we have created master workbooks then copied them and laboriously referenced the relevant cells back to the original. That way if any data in the master is changed, all copies will change simultaneously.
This is obviously not the most efficient way of publishing web pages but we are stuck with it for now. So I am wondering if it is possible to write a VBA code to create a copy of the master and then reference all required tables in the worksheets automatically? The tables are all named ranges.
looking for a formula that will get me the sheet name.example: I have 3 sheets each named X, Y, Z. in cells A1 I want the name of sheet 3, which would be X
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 8 sheets, named cpt1 to cpt8 in vba.

I have a spreadsheet with two sheets in it.
Sheet 1 = sheet with formulas/functions for data analysis
Sheet 2 = sheet with table
I am trying to reference a column in the table on sheet 2 from sheet 1. Specifically, I am trying to set up Data Validation that will create a list of unique values from a column in the table. I tried:
[Code] ......
There is a space in the header name of the column. but I was unable to get the validation to work even with columns that have just a single word name.
I also tried:
[Code] .....
and that did not work either.
I need assistance referencing cells in other sheets. I have a summary tab which I would have each refenced sheet listed (named for the activity being billed). In a separate cell in the summary tab, I want to bring back the value of the total amount billed for that activity. The total value is in the same cell of each sheet, as all invoice tabs needing to be referenced are identical in layout.
There is one hitch to this, the sheets referenced have not yet been created (that would be too too easy), and the activity list in the summary sheet has place holder names that will change when the activity being billed is defined (hence prompting the biller to create the sheet to be referenced).
I am trying to reference a list of numbers in a sheet from another sheet. the problem is that whenever i try to copy and paste the formula it doesn't go to the next number in the ist it goes to the corresponding row. i.e. ='number'!H2 is in row 1 when copied down to row 32 i need it to become ='number'!H3 but instead it becomes ='number'!H33. I also need it to go across; however that was solved by making it ='number'!$H2 but i still cant figure out how to progress the row 1 at a time.

I have a workbook that has a number of sheets with various project stages and dates on them. These details are arranged in small tables displayed vertically down the page. Each worksheet's name is the project code - e.g. 30033_99
I have now been asked to create an overview page that displays all these stages and dates on one page. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to look at the column with the project code and then pull information from the worksheet with that name.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOk, I have a spreadsheet that I use to track the majority of my work throughout the day. I have about 10 columns that I use for my own information, and about 4 of them that my colleagues need updates on. I have one sheet "worktracking" and another sheet "printable." Printable has just the 4 columns of info that my colleagues might need, formatted in a way that prints out nicely. Each column in "printable" references a column in "work tracking" like this
='worktracking'!c2
Now the problem that I'm running into is that I routinely delete rows from the "worktracking" sheet, which results in a reference error on the "printable" sheet. I am wondering if there is a way to rework it, such that when I delete a row from "worktracking," then "printable" just does the same, and only retains rows that have data in them...
I'd like for users to click in a cell in col A in a sheet named "Period7", have the cell value placed in cell C11 in a sheet named "Per7Report," and change the focus or active sheet to sheet Per7Report.
Can this be done simply by clicking in a cell, or must a command button be inserted into each cell (note - odd rows only) in col A in Period7.
on the code to do this?
Note that there is a formula in col A in sheet Period7
I have this MAXIF array function that I am trying to use but I need it to reference the Last Row and not the absolute refererence. I am a novice at VBA. The first max if array is the one with my effort to try and get the last row. It doesnt work. The second one works but references the cell.
Code:
Range("U2").Select
Selection.FormulaArray = _
"=MAX(IF('Monthly Production'!R2C1:RC1 & LR=RC[-20],'Monthly Production'!R2C19:RC19 & LR))"
Range("V2").Select
Selection.FormulaArray = _
"=MAX(IF('Monthly Production'!R2C1:R8729C1=RC[-21],'Monthly Production'!R2C21:R8729C21))"
I am trying to reference a cell in a different sheet and am having a hard time getting the formula to return correctly. The IF statement is currently written like this,
IF(theotherworksheetcell="0",iftruethiscelltoequal"0",iffalseIwanttotypeasimpleformula)
Example:IF('BaseRent'J16="0","0",(D16*E16/12))
The current formula is returning $0 only, it should return a number in some cases.
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 am trying to find out whether it is possible to reference to a sheet index number, instead of sheet name, in a VLOOKUP formula.
For instance, normally I would write:
VLOOKUP(A1,'ExampleSheet'!A1:B10,2,False)
(I hope got the translation to English language Excel correct)
Let's say that the sheet index of Examplesheet is 2 (at least it is 2 the way VBA sees it).
Is there a way I could reference sheet number 2 in the VLOOKUP formula, instead of its name? My sheet names vary, but the formula should look in the same area, regardless of name.
I have a challenge I'm trying to surmount. I have an excel sheet in which I want to be able to select Zone codes from a drop down, click on a link "search" which takes me to a place in the document that has been named according to the Zone code i pick in the drop-down. I want to achieve this using only formulas as i'm distributing the file to a wide audience who are not versed enough with computers to know how to enable macros.
