View 9 Replies View RelatedI am working with data that is to be used for a regression analysis, and I am having trouble being able to find and replace multiple observations.
For example, column A has the two-letter abbreviation for each country in the world. Column B has the name of the corresponding country. At various places throughout the worksheet, names of countries exist.
I would like to find all instances of say "Albania" and replace them with "AL" then Algeria, Angola, Andorra, etc. Since columns A & B are in alphabetical order and the abbreviation and name correspond with one another, I would like to use a macro that will find all occurrences of the country name in the selected cell and replace them with the abbreviation then repeat the operation.
So, I need to:
1) Find all occurrences of the content in "B1"
2) Replace them with the content in "A1"
3) Repeat operation beginning at "B2"
This one is a two parter. Part I is a bit of a necessity and Part II is a nice to have that would save me a boatload of time.
Part I: I need to assign a macro to a specific object in a cell. I've seen the code for targeting a static cell, but my data can be filtered and sorted.
For example, I have a cell in I6 that has text "Partial Deployment" that I want to run a macro on. If I were to sort alphbetically, this cell could end up as I20.
How to assign a macro to the text inside the cell? Also the text is not unique.
Part II: I would like to write a macro using relative referencing for similar to the below:
When user clicks on said object from Part I, the macro reads the corresponding column in that same row and users that to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.
Example: User selects "Partial Deployment" in cell I6, the macro references cell E6, copies the number "191", and uses that number to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.

I have written an SQL Stored proceedure which drags this information into excel.
All is well here, however because the information changes regularly adding and subtracting in row length it means I am having issues writing code for sums as a standard macro is absolute and not realative.
What I basically have is this ....
i want to do is to use value in [K8] and to find a row which matches the value in [A11:A35]. Then to pick up the cell where the value is. The problem is that i cant use "VLOOKUP" or "HLOOKUP" because the value can be in any of the rows or columns from [C11:I35].
There is allways only 1 value per row, if it´s for any use..
I work with Excel the more I realize that I'm not that good at it Anyways, I'm in need of a quite advanced formula (for me) that sums up relative relative rows of a specified column. The rows relation depends on the ID-number of the person. Look at my attachment.
In Sheet1 I have an extract of the data I'm working with. It's a medical record of different people in a study. The ID (col. B) seperate the different people. One person can have several perscriptions (spelling?) of medicine. Every perscription has an "fddd", a daily dose (col. L). I want to add up all the daily doses for every seperate ID of my data in Sheet2. So for example, for ID1 I want it to sum L3:L6 in Sheet1 and return it to Sheet2!B2. If the ID is not found I want it to be blank.
i'm creating a spreadsheet with records of repair jobs on vehicles that my company is/has performed. the problem is that, the way our system works, there are currently no unique identifiers for jobs, meaning i cannot create a master list with various vlookup tables with only the information relevant for our engineers on them.
is it possible to create a macro or use some other system, that will create a new, unique code when a line/cell is filled in? because we end up sorting the list by different criteria on a regular basis (to find specific jobs) the system can't be relative (i.e. +1 to the code above).
I suspect there's a simple answer to this but I've looked and can't find it: In Excel 2003, when I add a hyperlink to another file and close/reopen my workbook, the link is saved as relative to the current workbook. So if the main workbook is moved or, in my case, when I use VBA to copy and email the sheet with the hyperlinks, the links are broken.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two columns. The first is imported NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND CSZ on three lines, repeating over and over again. Several hundred names, addresses, csz. The SECOND column is a formula which picks up ONLY the text name in the first column. The SECOND column will just be one NAME after another, so the formulas will SKIP two rows in the first column. HOW do I copy down / propagate relative formulas to do this

and so on.
When i fill in a name like commission on Sheet1"Freshbooks"
The number 8000 must be connected with that ..so that it will appear on my last sheet "Ouput"
So to summ it up Sheet1 I fill in commision on table H the number 8000 must apear on sheet"output"
Is this possible in a Formule or in a VBA line???
I have a list of values in column A, and want to display in column B, in the cell where the cursor is when the macro is started (let's call it Bn), the sum of values (An:An-11), where n can be any row where there are values to be added. The following works fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a named block, used to sort a list of data. But I names the block one row higher to include the headers, so that inserts at the top row of the data would not fall out of the named range. Then I want to sort the data, but not include the header row.
What I want to say in the sort macro is something like:
cell_range( top_row(Data)-1, Bottom_Row(Data) )
Or, to have two names, with one defined in terms of the other:
Data_sort = Data_big - Toprow(Data_big)

View 4 Replies View Relateda user i'm assisting wants to calculate totals by recording a macro that sums all the rows in a column using relative cell references. this is because the user runs a report that pulls in data that varies. one week the report may contain 40 rows that need to be totaled, and the next week there may be 60 rows that need to be totaled.
here's what i did:place cursor in cell where i want total to appear
go to VIEW menu, MACROS tab, and click USE RELATIVE REFERENCES
click RECORD MACRO
enter name, description, assign shortcut key
go to FORMULAS menu and click AUTOSUM
press RETURN
when i test the macro out on columns containing the same amount of rows, it works fine. but when i run the macro on a column with more rows, it only totals the amount of rows contained in the original macro. see attached.
if anyone has the knowledge here to program RSI via VBA in Excel? I am able to do it without VBA, but it is time consuming and it takes up a lot of space and it just isn't it. Here is the description of what RSI is and the formula needed to calculate it:

I'm just learning VBA and attempting to modify an existing piece of code. My only question is where it's possible to refer to a column in relative terms. In others words for the following:
If Target.Column = 33 Then
Is there a way to ensure that if users create or delete columns resulting in the current column 33 now changing to column 34 or 32, my code still applies to the correct column?
I have data headings in A1-E1 and actual data in A2-E2. I have a SUMIF function in F2.
A B C D E F
A B A B B
1 2 3 4 5 =SUMIF(A1:E1;"A";A2:E2)
When I insert new data columns between column E and F, the formula still refers to columns A-E although I would like to have the newly added columns in that SUMIF-function included.
For example, if I add 3 new columns, the new SUMIF-function (now in cell I2) should become =SUMIF(A1:H1;"A";A2:H2).
Do to modify the SUMIF-function to do that?
I have a WinForm, which I'm calling via VBA's Shell command:
Code:
Sub Button1_Click()
Shell "C:TemplateFuncitons.exe " + ActiveWorkbook.FullName, 1
End Sub
I made this module an Excel Add-in and added it as a button in the quick access toolbar. Now, the idea is for the WinForm.exe and the Excel.xla to always be in the same directory (go hand in hand). I want to make a relative path for the .exe which will be the path to the folder where the .xla is + the string "TemplateFunctions.exe" in the end.
Creating a named range relative to the active cell? So that I can click on any cell and a named range is created in the adjacent column for 5 rows.

way I can use relative cell address in VBA? For example, in the following table:
value item 1 apple item 2 peach item 3 mango
Instead of use
Range("B4").Value = "mango"
to insert mango to cell B4, I can use an address that's one row under peach, or one column to the right of item 3?
From a formula, how can I reference other sheets in my workbook via a relative reference as opposed to needing to know the sheet name? I know I can write a macro, but looking for a non-VBA solution.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn cell C2, I have =SUM(cellsBeforeUp), where the named range cellsBeforeUp refers to =Sheet1!$A1:B1
The idea is to have a named range that refer to the cells in the preceding row but to the left of the current column, via relative addressing in the name's definition.
The problem is that the formula returns 0 (which is wrong). (changing RefersTo to =Sheet1$A1:$B1 gets the correct sum, but the range does not expand when dragged as =SUM($A1:B1) would.)
In Cell D2, the formula =SUM(cellsBeforeUpA) where cellsBeforeUpA refers to =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A1:C1,0,0)
This name works properly.
I don't understand why OFFSETing by 0,0 is required to make this work properly.
Is there a way to write formulas so the variables are relative to a sheet?
I have a workbook that collects monthly electrical meter readings and calculates billing for each tenant. A new sheet is used for each month and the formulas need to refer to the previous month’s sheet for the prior meter reading.
For example cell C36 in the sheet Feb09 might contain: =Jan09!D36 Where Jan09 is the sheet name from the prior month. When I copy sheet Feb09 to make sheet Mar09 I’d like the formula in C36 to be =Feb09!D36.
Im trying to get a message box to pop up if the result of a count formula is greater than one; ie. in a list of data to warn of repeats of a certain key reference.
Ive never had a drama with putting a message box in before but ive only based it off a constant reference whereas in this case, it will be based on a relative reference; for example, when inputted a value in A2, that has the same value in A1, the count formula in B2 will be 2, so i want a message box to come up. Same goes if the same value was put in A3, and B3 was greater than
I have this formula:
=IF('2010'!R10C2="y",'2010'!R10C3,"")

Is there something I need to turn on or off.
I'm using the following formula: = LOOKUP($H5,I27:I32,J$27:J$32)- SUMIF(H5:H18,H5,J$4:J4). It's returning an incorrect value of "0". If I click in the formula bar, then click on the "fx" button & bring up the "Function Arguments" window. This gives a formula result of "4" (the correct value). Why is the cell value not the same? Are the formulas unreliable or volatile
