Refering From Another Workbook By Using The Concatenate Formula
Aug 2, 2006
I would like to reference information from another workbook. Instead of writing the Name of the other workbook I would like to reference through a Concatenate formula (e.g. CONCATENATE("Test"&G2&".xls")). I always get an error message. Is there any way I can reference from another workbook by using the Concatenate or any other formula?
I'm trying to check if a workbook can be used in some processes later and whithout opening the other workbook. is it possible. i have done this
str_prod_PT = Application. GetOpenFilename If str_prod_PT <> "FALSE" Then If Workbooks(str_prod_PT). Sheets(1). Range("A1").Value <> "Ordem" Then MsgBox "Ficheiro incompativel", vbCritical Else TextBox1.Value = str_prod_PT End If End If
I would the formula to refer to C1 to get the "Smith B" part.
This would allow me to copy the formula to the right and reference different text as it looks at D1, E1, F1, etc.
To say it another way. I want to know if there's a way to make a formula that would result in looking at the file Smith B.xls by inserting a refernce to C1 in it?
Currently I have a code that names a worksheet automatically with the date the first entry was keyed in. The problem is that I'd like to create a formula that would not be affected whatever the names of these sheets might be. There are 21 sheets, the last sheet would be the one containing the formula adding cell values from the preceeding 20 sheets. I've been scratching my head with this for a while now trying to come up with a workaround solution.

I have a problem with bringing up the data I need to cells in one row.
In row 1 I have dates: 23-Nov 24-Nov 25-Nov 26-Nov etc.
In row 2 Quantities: 2000 1500 250 750 etc.
In row 3 I have dates again (I need to start working towards these qty's): 20-Nov 22-Nov 25-Nov 25/Nov. I would like in column A of 4 row to sum all the qty's (row 2) if the date in row 3 is the same or smaller than in row 1 column A. But in column B and forward I want cells to sum qty's if the date in row 3 is the same as the one in row 1. I have tried : =sumproduct((A3:D3<=A1),(A2:D2)) for cell A4
and: =sumproduct((A3:D3=B1),(A2:D2)) for cell B4 and consequently for others. It comes back as zero value even if I see matching dates/qty's. Does anyone know what shall I change in my formula to make it right?
Is there a preferred way of referring to the Workbook or worksheet which is hosting the macro.
For example say I have the following Macro:
Sub test()
Dim MyHostMacroWorksheet As Workbook
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Set MyHostMacroWorksheet = Workbooks(1)
MsgBox (MyHostMacroWorksheet.Name) 'Works only if macro was inside first workbook opened '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Set MyHostMacroWorksheet = Workbooks("foobar.xls")
MsgBox (MyHostMacroWorksheet.Name) 'Works but have to modify every time I copy code from workbook to workbook '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
End Sub I am looking for explicitly saying "The Workbook/Worksheet that is specified by VBAProject"
I have a string variable that I want to make available to all modules. The string variable is a listbox.value. In a Userform I have users select a file from a list of files. This particular selection should then be used in a module of the project. Unfortunately, a Public statement can't be used in a class module to declare a fixed-length string variable. Is there any other way to make this variable available to the module?
I want to Vlook a value from a cell in another workbook then before I get the formula result I would like it to concatenate the result with another cell. I have attached an example
I need to do a vlookup with the array starting on a row determined in another cell, so I've tried concatenating the number into a formula but this doesn't seem to work. Is there something else that I can do?
Is this possible because when i try to use the Substitute formula my Concatenate formula is doesn't work. This data in cell A1 is linked from another sheet
PHONE
WIRE CANDY INDIA
When I use the Concatenate formula only, it works fine but when i try to add the Substitute to this, it looks like this
PHONE WIRE CANDY INDIA
I want it to look like this, removing any blank lines within cell A1
PHONE WIRE CANDY INDIA
Something wrong with the formula? how come it doesn't do both? =SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A1),CHAR(10),"")
I am trying to merge cells A1:GR1 in to one cell by using the concatenate formula and the copying and pasting the values in to the same cell. Is this possible? I've tried to use the formula below with no luck,
I have a DDE code that returns a stock symbol value. The code is as follows, where @ES# is the symbol:
=NeoTicker|q!'@ES#,last'
I am trying to create a cell so when I put in a symbol (H10), it automatically gives me the quote. So I split up the code and then concatenated it as follows:
I have been able to create concatenate formulas for numbes (% and $), but have been unable to create one that will display a date, I. E. for the number formula, I used, =(A8&" "&TEXT(B8,"$0")). What would be the formual so the second cell show the value as a date?
I am writing a macroI have three variables named "name", " book", and "count". In previous statements these variables have all been defined as String, String, Integer respectively. I am trying to uses all of these variables in the same formula and am encountering issues. The formula I wish to use it in is:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNT('[" & book & "]" & name & "!'""B6:B" & count & ")"
Where if book = Book1 ; name = "Sheet1" ; and Count = 100 I would want the following result: "=COUNT('[Book1]Sheet1!B6:B100)"
I have a time in cell C10 in hh:mm format, in cell D10 I want to add the text "DFL" in front of the time, remove the ":" and add "HRS." at the end of it. For example "DFL0715HRS." I have been able to get the following formula to work:
=CONCATENATE("DFL",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm")),"HRS.")
However sometimes it may not be a time, it could also be "Rest Day" in cell C10, if it says "Rest Day" I need it to add the text "DFL" in front as before and then change "Rest Day" to "RDFLEXI." For example "DFLRDFLEXI." I have been able to get the following formula to work but only if it is "Rest Day", if it is a time such as 07:15 it doesn't work.
It shows "DFL07157R0.": =CONCATENATE("DFL",IF(C10="Rest Day","RDFLEXI.",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm"&"HRS."))))
I think it is trying to continue doing something with the text function
I'm looking for a formula that utilizes an "if/then" condition. I'm attaching a sample workbook of what I'm dealing with. I need it to end up so that column "E" holds: if a equals c, then e = b, "and", d, c Does that make sense? I manually entered my desired end result into column E in the sample workbook.
Is there a way to make the CONCATENATE formula put all the text on different lines? It keeps combining some on the same lines and I want them all on separate - like a list.
Looking for a little help with the following formula =CONCATENATE("August 07 -",TODAY()," Evening Instructor") After entering this formula today is displayed as a serial number. I'd like it to display as current month/current day/current year (11/28/08)
Is there a way to nest IF & And statements. I'm looking to concatenate a number of cells and seperate them with a space and/or comma but only if they contain data so need something along the lines of
Is there a faster way to combine all the P.O# with a formula automatically, no matter how many P.O# there are? Its unpredictable on how many invoices will get pay per wire.
I want to "calculate" a worksheet name by concatenating 2 cells. Then based on this concatenated word perform a " lookup". Basically I have a form for people to fill in and want to extract their answers automatically.
I Want to be able to put in Col A the concatenate results of all equal P/N's from any given list. Or at least select the few cells that i know are duplicates and from that copy the Location to a single Column.
ColA ColB__ColC ______Loc__PN 1,2____1___A _______2___A _______3___B 4,5____4___C _______5___C
I am attempting to use concatenate to combine two cells of data, but to only display the information if both cells contain information.
Currently using the following simple formula: =concatenate(a1,a2)
However, I only want it to work if both a1 and a2 cells contain data. If only a1 contains information, but a2 is blank, I want it to calculate a blank cell.
