Referencing To Cells Next To A Given Cell?
Nov 20, 2008
My current worksheet is being built for use in Eve-Online, a game I play. In specific, I am keeping track of profit made by manufacturing different items in the game. I am trying to build it like this:
Column 20 is a list of items, and the next 7 cells to the right of each item contain the mineral requirements for that item. So C20 says Bantam Frigate, C21-C28 will all contain numbers. Now, I am trying to create a function in the upper-right cells (like A1-A8) where if I type in "Bantam Frigate" into A1, A2-A8 will fetch the numbers that I put into C21-C28.
Now, I will be working with thousands of items, so I have to make sure I name both the 'database' and the query exactly right, but that's not a problem to me. Can I make something that will reference a value from (cell+1 column right) or (cell+2 columns right)

I have multiple sets of data that i need to reference based on the value in another cell. In this instance I am importing data to Excel from an outside source, this data is not consistent each time I import it and therefore based on the values that are imported I need to reference different cell ranges. Here is an example:
Import Data
A B
Alex 1
Ben 2
April 2
Harry 3
Data Sets
Alex Data Range
1 2 3
Refine Help Token
Cover Safe Coin
Simple Aware Change
Ben Data Range
1 2 3
Sorry Away Candy
Happy Home Soda
Mad Neutral Water
My problem is that based on the name in column 1 of the import data I need to reference that data range so I obtain the correct column of Alex's data range with a random chance of any item in the column to be selected. Currently my formula looks like this: =INDEX(CELL("contents",A1),RANDBETWEEN(1,3),B1) and it is returning #VALUE, however when I put the Range Name "ALEX" in in place of the "CELL" formula it works properly the problem is I am not able to put the correct name in for each row.

I have 4 cells with simple data in them. In another cell, I would like to make a phrase and include all the data from the 4 cells in that phrase.
Example:
="Jackpot: &G2 (&G1) / &G3 = &G4 each"
I already tried this:
="Jackpot: "&G2" ("&G1") / "&G3" = "&G4" each"
Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure this is doable, I just don't know what's missing.

I am trying to write a macro which highlights all the cells with any reference to other cell. The macro should highlight a cell with formula like = 3 * A25 but not highlight a cell with following formula. = 3 * 0.4535566. 'Hasformula' property is not useful here as it can't distinguish between above examples.

I have a long list of amounts one per day. Sun-Sat repeating. I Total the amounts for each week and place it next to Sun. now i have the total for that billing week.
I need to reference these numbers from a different sheet that only has one row per week. I tried to do ='sheet1'!a2 then next row down ='sheet1'!a9 and ='sheet1'!a16 etc then fill down but when i do it seems to start again and do a3, a10 and a17.
Is there a way I can get it to only use cells with figures in them? IE if cell is empty then move down one else use the amount in cell... or how do I get it to reference 7 cells below each time rather than the next immediate cell.

For example in this formula I typed in WWW as the max:
=SUMPRODUCT(($F$5:$WWW$5>=C2)*1,($F$5:$WWW$5<=C3)*1,ABS($F$6:$WWW$6))
If I try to type in a value higher than WWW it will give me an error. I was just trying to put in an amount that I would never hit within the row.

I would like a formula that checks for blank cells only between C1:C10 and E1:E10 and then insert the first and last names of the person associated with these blank cells (which are located in A1:10 and B1:B10) on another worksheet, which for the sake of argument can be called 'sheet2'.

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).

Say I have a column with cell values 4, 0, 0, 5, 0 , 0, 0, 2, 0, 3
What I am trying to do is have in the next column a formula which returns
the number adjacent to it multiplied by the number of blanks between it and
the next non-blank cell.
So, for the example above, the output would be 8, 0, 0, 15, 0, 0, 0, 2 etc

I have a row of cells on one "Sheet1." I am trying reference these cells into a column on "Sheet2." I know I can reference one cell at a time, but I have a large number of cells in the row on Sheet1 and I know that there has to be an easier way to do it, I am just not excel-savvy enough to know what it is.
I know you can copy and "paste special" (transpose), I am just wondering how to do that while referencing. I have heard that the "offset" function can be used, but after extensive trial and error, I haven't figured it out.

I have set up a spreadsheet in order to track and calculate the number of students we teach at our organization. It is running prohibitively slow when entering new data. On one sheet each individual session is entered (the school, program, date, number of hours etc.) This is the Session worksheet.
On the next sheet(the Program worksheet) the maximum number of students for each unique program (this is usually a combination of school and the program) is calculated to ensure we are not counting students we teach weekly as new students. This is calculated using a formula:
:{=MAX(IF(Session!G:G=Program!A2,Session!D:D))}.
"Session!G:G" = the unique program name on the Session worksheet.
"Program!A2" = the unique program name on the Program worksheet.
"Session!D:D" = the number of students in that individual session...........

Should I use the 'IF' or 'LOOKUP' functions to fill a cell based on the content of another?
If C2 contains 'Cork' I need D2 to read 'Munster'. Indeed I will need D2 to read 'Munster' for a number of different C2 values.

I currently have 3 sheets 1, 2,and 3.
Data is input onto sheet 1, this is copied into sheets 2, no real problem there. However i need to enter data onto sheet 3 and if that data appears on sheet 2 i want the line, not just the cell to be coloured on sheet 2. The data on sheet 3 will not be in any specific order in the column
I have tried conditional formatting but keep getting a message to say it cant be done and offering a formula which i dont understand.

I'm trying to simply reference a cell from another tab in the same workbook. In other words I press "=" and then point to the cell in another tab and I would expect to see that value - however I don't. What I see, as an example, is: ='Nav&SPDiary'!B24 instead of the cell value (which I know exists because I've just pointed to it.
Anyone have ANY idea why all of a sudden it's started to do this? The most annoying thing is it worked fine before and now it doesn't do what I want...

I'm trying to reference text from one worksheet to another. The data is all in column A on the "Template" worksheet, however the row varies (ie starts at row 5, then 7 the 9 etc). The cell row is always +2 rows on the previous row, and column A.
What can I use to pull across the cells with the information that I want, onto the "Report" worksheet?

Applying my indirect formula to the rest of the cells in my sheet properly.
I am getting the values of cells in other sheets, using INDIRECT to use cell values to name the sheets. Here is an example of how the cells are now...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ....
The formulas in B1 are going to return the value of A5 in "Sheet 1" (or whatever value is in A1) and B2 will return the vale cell A5 in 'Sheet 2. The next line will be the value of A6 in Sheet 1, and the next will be A6 in Sheet 2 and so on.
So I have quite a few rows to get through I want to be able to autofill so it looks like this...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
2
Sheet 2
=(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
As it is now, when I autofill, it autofills the Sheet name part of it. It is looking like this...
A
B
1
Sheet 1
=(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!$A$5"))
[Code] ......
Excel isn't intuitive enough to know I want to move cells in the referenced sheet.

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.

I am trying to find a way to create new sheets in a workbook that when created will reference a new row on a data sheet in that workbook. Each workbook could end up containing varying numbers of sheets (anywhere from 2 to 150+) based on size limitations. There are some lookups and referenced data on each sheet that would be copied as is and not reference the data sheet. I have not included these in my example.
I'm trying to avoid having to change each cell's reference manually for all of these sheets (which is one of the solutions I've come up with so far). My current method of creating these workbooks does not involve the data sheet and each workbook starts off with data only on sheet1. I select and copy that sheet into sheet2 and every subsequent sheet. I want to incorporate the data sheet so it can be filled out by someone else and copied into that tab to populate all of the data sheets.

I've tried to a create code from examples in previous posts but I can't seem to figure out how to get what it is that I'm looking for.
I'm trying to reference the value in cell O9 which would be a number.
Preceding this value, I would like to have the word "Rev" displayed. Just underneath those values, I would like to reference the value in O7 which is a date (3/27/2014 for example). I would like the footer to be updated anytime that cells O9 or O7 are updated.
These values would be placed in the right side of the footer of the active worksheet, and be displayed on each page that is printed out.
It's not much, but here's what I have so far:

I'm using two comboboxes to simplify data query of a database: the first narrows the query by displaying employee names, the second narrowing the selection further by displaying the equipment that employee owns. I am able to populate both comboboxes fine.
The first combo box for employee names:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("User&EquipOverview")
[Code]....
Where I am running into trouble is that I want the selection made with the equipment name combobox (ComboDevice) to populate several textboxes with values related to that specific selection in the database. That is, the combobox population needs to have the cell location included as information to pull the correct information.
Each employee has several pieces of similarly named equipment, so it's not so easy as to search the initial list for the value of the combobox selection.

Suppose I have a cell containing the formula:
Code:
=INDIRECT("'"&B$3&"'!J"&ROW($J11))
Which pulls data in from another sheet in the workbook. If the referenced cell is empty, this has value 0.
I'd like to then include this cell in the calculation of an average, ignoring it if the cell it pulls from is empty but including it if that cell contains 0.

I have a dataset with over a 1000 rows. I just pulled one row in my dataset as an example. My formula above finds the last cell with a value in the 2 row, finds the year associated with it in the first row, and pulls the year from the first row. What I am trying to find the last value highlighted red and pulling the year associated with it in the first row.

I have the following problem:
In cells A1 to A4 I have 4 numbers (8,7,12 and 15).
In cells B1 and B2 are the numbers 1 and 4
Now I want to use the max function to find the highest value in the cells A1 to A4. But instead of typing =max(a1:a4) I want to use other cells that tell excel where to look. What I exactly want is to say =max("a"&B1:"a"&B2) because in B1 and B2 the rows are indicated from which to which excel shall find the maximum.

I have a worksheet that pulls data from an ODBC datasource (import, External Data). The datasource is a SQL server 2005 database.
the query's sql is complex enough that it says it cannot be represented graphicly.
part of the WHERE clause fro my query specifies a date range for one of the date fields.
I am wondering if from within the SQL query in Microsoft Query I can reference the value of a cell. that way i coudl have the user enter his date range values in two specific cells.

I have a macro that uses subtotals on a dynamic list to generate page breaks by Department. Rows 1:6 of the table are set to print at the top of each page and column A is not set to print at all. Would it be possible to get cell B6 to return the value of the first cell of each page break (from column A) when the page prints. (Column A contains the department names, and though I don't want to print the column itself, I would like the name of each department to appear at the top of the page.)

Take the following simple sheet. My data is in column A, and includes some merged cells. I place the formula INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) in column B, and copy it down the sheet. I get the result as shown in column C, but I would like the result shown in column D!
| A | B | C | D |
--|-----------|------------------------|-----------|-----------|
1 | Bob | =INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) | Bob | Bob |
--|-----------|------------------------|-----------|-----------|
2 | Harry | =INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) | Harry | Harry |
--|-----------|------------------------|-----------|-----------|
3 | | =INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) | Charles | Charles |
| |------------------------|-----------|-----------|
4 | Charles | =INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) | 0 | Charles |
| |------------------------|-----------|-----------|
5 | | =INDIRECT("RC[-1]",0) | 0 | Charles |
--|-----------|------------------------|-----------|-----------|
I realise WHY this doesn't work (as Excel refers to the merged cells A3:A5 as just A3, and A4 & A5 don't essentially exist any more), but I would like to know if there's a way to get around it, and achieve the result in column D.

I want to be able to count the number of cells which meet a specified criteria.
The COUNTIF function works if I enter the criteria manually within a COUNTIF formula. But the function doesn't seem to work if I try to reference criteria from another cell.
For example, suppose the range of cells I'm searching for matches within has been named
Possible_outcomes .
In addition, the criteria I'd like to use is in a cell called
PROFIT_THRESHOLD,
and is the result of a formula. Let's say the formula result equals 130.
Countif works when I enter the criteria manually, i.e.
=COUNTIF(Possible_outcomes,">=130")
But it returns only a 0 when I write the formula as
=COUNTIF(Possible_outcomes,">=PROFIT THRESHOLD")
I can't make the function work even if the criteria is in a cell which is not named either.
This is a serious obstacle to model automation.
