I need a function where the sheet-reference can be linked to a cell.
By other words can the content of cell A1 be sheet1, sheet2, sheet3 etc. The cell in B2 shall always point to cell b3 in the choosen sheet, but the sheetreference is dependent on the sheet refererred to in A1
I have a the following function: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*ROW(F35:G45))-21,SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*COLUMN(F35:G45))))
I'm trying to put the get the value of it from a different Sheet.
say this function is in Sheet1 and I wish to place the equation in Sheet3 - what should I change? I tried INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!F35:G45=K40)...
nothing works.
what the function does? there are 2 tables. table 1 has values and table 2 has values as well. K40 is the user input --it reflects the number in table2 and the return value is the 'reference' in table1. for example, if table2 in F41 has the number 54 and the reference for it in table1 is $344, when the user types 54 in K40 the returned result in the function will be $344
Each sheet contains the test data for an individual class and I am trying to create a "Totals" sheet where I can show the average that each class had on a particular test and the letter grade breakdown. I am trying to create one 'average' formula that I may then copy across that will change the sheet reference automatically without me having to manually re-create the formula every time I add a new class sheet. I tried using the INDIRECT function but could not get it to work. Keep getting #Ref error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAttached I have a document where I am wanting all of the individual sheet names on the Total page. Rather than having to change each formula to match the sheet name I believe there is a way to reference the sheet name column (AO) in the formula so you can drag it down to fill in the columns. I am basic with Excel and do not know how to add this indirect function into my current formulas.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I have a cell that has as its contents as sheet name, is there anyway I can use the cell's address to reference that sheet?
As an example, say I have in Sheet1, cell A1, the text Sheet2. And let's say I want to return the value of cell B2 on whichever sheet the text of A1 says. So, on Sheet1, I might have this:
i got three cells namely; M7, AC7 and BA7. Initially, an input value is entered in cell M7 which will be processed to give AC7. An IF function is entered in cell BA7. This IF function is really simple. It states that IF the difference between the values of M7 and AC7 is greater than 1 then, decrease 0.01 from M7, otherwise, retain the value of M7. The syntax is:
=IF((M7-AC7)>1, M7-0.01, M7)
As I told you, it is really simple and looks fine. I have no problem with it so far. The problem came about when I tried to make the circular reference. I am trying to make M7 to equal BA7. Well, before I made the circular reference, I made a manual entering of the values of cell M7. What I have done was that I put a value like 29.94 in M7 then I let the calculation to proceed. The the value that I get in BA7 (i.e. 29.93), I re-entered it in M7 then I repeated the process until I got a value (i.e. 29.90) that was not changing due to the use of the IF function. The manual calculations are shown in Table2 of the attached file.
I said to myself instead of entering the values manually, I can use a circular reference so that the cell M7 = cell BA7. Unfortunatelly, the circulation of the values instead of giving me 29.90 which is the right answer, it gave me 29.89 which ment that Excel has done one more step further of the IF function. In other words, Excel should have stopped decreasing 0.01 from M7 when M7-AC7 was less than one. This is achieved at M7=29.90 (as clearly seen in Table2). However, Excel went one step further and done: BA7=29.90-0.01=29.89 then it stopped subtraction at 29.89 which is not correct.
I have a spreadsheet that shows a large number of folks we had working in a particular division from Jan. 1st until now, 1800 +. Some of the folks are on the sheet twice due to having more than one role. The sheet lists last name, first name, skill description, pay rate, company they worked at...etc. Most of the folks on the list are not currently working but some are. I have another spread sheet that lists the folks that ARE currently working. I'm trying to see if there is a way to compare the two sheets, via a formula, that will be able to identify when the first name, last name, company name, and skill description are the same and then have those identified deleted from the first sheet.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a formula that would filter data from one column based on condition entered in a cell. This one works great with single numbers or text in a reference cell:

I have a workbook with a Summary sheet and then a series of sheets for each month/year. Onthe summary sheet I use column A for the month/year as a date formatted "mmm yy" ie the same as the sheet names.
in columns B,C,D I want formulae that sums or averages a fixed range on each sheet but I would like the formula to take the sheet name from Columa A rather than hard coding it.
So that in the example =SUM('Dec 04'!$C$6:$C$47) I want to take the "Dec 04" from the text in cell A3
I have a column of numbers, on which i would like to perform subtraction, in a way that the cell in the (i)th row will be subtracted from the one in the (i+x)th row, while x is a parameter that the user can change as he wishes.
My problem is how to refer to the cell address and still use this conditional reference...
If anyone has an idea how to realize this calculation (which should be peanuts in Matlab, but apparently more problematic in Excel),
Is there any way to use a formula rather than a direct cell reference in the Reference argument of an Offset function?
For example, rather than this:
=OFFSET(H3,0,-7,1,1)
I want to do this:
=OFFSET(max(H:H),0,-7,1,1)
Effectively replacing the starting cell of the offset function with a dynamic formula that returns the maximum value of an array.
I have a worksheet with a name that inckudes a hyphen, e.g. 1234-5678.
And I have the worksheet name in a cell, say, I!.
Using
=INDIRECT(I$1&"!YADDA")
I get a REF error because of the inclusion of the hyphen in the worksheet name.
How can I fix this without eliminating the hyphen?
I am trying to use the AVERAGEIF function to give calculate averages based on dynamic data. The formula I want to work is:

I want to be able to calculate averages of only the cells that are greater than the value of cell D6. Is there a way to do this?
I have the following line in VBA which works.

I'm a definite newbie when it comes to macros but can figure out formulas ok.
So I wrote a formula to break out a sort string and it got pretty complicated so I’m trying to create a macro so I don't have to write out the formula all the time. However the sort tag can be in different columns when I need this formula so I tried the "run macro" function to create a relative reference.
So it changed my formula from this:
PHP
=IF(ISERR(FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)),"",IF(ISERR(FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2)+1)&")",EM2)),MID(EM2,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)+3,100),MID(EM2,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)+3,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))+1&")",EM2)-FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)-3)))
PHP
"=IF(ISERR(FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])),"""",IF(ISERR(FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1])+1)&"")"",RC[-1])),MID(RC[-1],FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])+3,100),MID(RC[-1],FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])+3,FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))+1&"")"",RC[-1])-FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])-3)))"
Now my problem is in the first formula I need "$EM2" not "EM2".
I tried the obvious to me fix of R$C[-1] which did not work... And when trying to re-run the macro it puts RC143 which will not work because the sort string is not always in column EM.
how to make the average,median,max, and/or min functions ignore cells in the referenced range that contain the #value! error? All four of the functions are returning #value! because one or more in the referenced range have the error.

My formula for the second column is as follows, =AVERAGE($G$1:G1), =AVERAGE($G$1:G2)... and so on.'
My problem is when I try to run the same formula on a different worksheet to put on the current worksheet, I get an error from Excel that the formula is invalid. Here's the formula I use, =AVERAGE('Team Stats'!$A$I1:AI1), =AVERAGE('Team Stats'!$A$I1:AI2), ...
Is this a bug with Excel? Is the format wrong? I've tried just using the function wizard and it tells me that the absolute reference is invalid.

How would I used the indirect function to reference a named range in the workbook in formula creation.
For instance, if in cell A1 I have entered the text "Sales" which is also a named range in the workbook. Then in cell A2 I tried entering the following formula to sum based on the entry in cell A1 using the indirect funtion. For instance:
=sum(indirect(A1))
In this instance I was hoping this formula would then sum the amounts in the "Sales" named range. And, if I changed the text in cell A1 to "Cost" for instance (another named range in the workbook), it would sum the amounts in the "Cost" named range. Allowing for a dynamic formula based on the entry in cell A1.
I'm using Excel 2007.
I have a problem using COUNTIF function. I want to count cells say in range A1:A10 that are smaller that a value in a cell let's say B1. Neither of these works:

I am trying to acccess a cell value from a seperate worksheet. The cell reference needs to be generated by a seperate formula. In this example
=DSInfo!C28 // provides the correct result i.e the contents of cell C28 on worsheet DSInfo =MATCH(A4,DSInfo!C1:C35,0) //provides the correct row number - in this case 28
However on trying to combine the two =DSInfo!C&MATCH(A4,DSInfo!C1:C35,0) // provides only a formula error. I'm guessing this is a simple syntax error on my part but after hours of trying various ways I'm still having no luck.
I have a split named range covering non-contiguous areas, ie:
Name: status_web
Range: =$F$14:$I$122,$F$700:$I$746,$F$798:$I$830,$F$905:$I$933
This appears to work fine when selecting the name however it returns a #VALUE! error when using it in a formula, eg: = COUNTIF(status_web, "*p*"). Is there any way to get this to work, or do I need a separate named range for each contiguous section? NOTE: Not sure whether this extra fact would through a spanner in the works, but I am referencing this named range from a separate workbook.
Is there a way to start match from a relative position?
Say a match I have in column "A" returns 344. Is it possible to start a new match for column "B" from that spot, instead of having it return a match starting at the top?

I am trying to do a "getpivotdata" formula on a cell in certain file that gets info from a pivot table on another file.

I have a table of consolidated data that consists of the date at which certain payments occur and their amounts that other sheets need to reference to perform calculations. I am currently using the formula below to put the data under the correct date column. =INDEX(ImportedData!$B$10:$DB$10,MATCH(B3,ImportedData!$B$4:$DB$4,FALSE)). The problem that I have is that the INDEX range, currently B10:DB10, will need to change depending on the number of files that are consolidated ie with more files the row will increase.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problem with a spreadsheet that I am trying to create.
I have a large sheet of data which is dumped in from another program. This contains our deliveries and orders etc.
Now for planning purposes, I would like to see how much of each item I have on order.
I can use VLOOKUP, but that will only give me the amount for the first order it encounters. But not the 3rd, 4th etc. I could use SUMIF but I need the dates as well. After doing some searching I think I have found a way of doing this: I can get the first easier enough:
=VLOOKUP(D$11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,5,FALSE), this gives the first order than the another =VLOOKUP(D11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,11,FALSE) for its date.
For the second column to check any other orders I thought I could find the cell referance for the first SEARCH: which is
A108: ="A"&MATCH(D11,'purchase order'!A:A,0).
Is there any way of using this Reference to start a new VLOOKUP. So the Lookup Range starts at this reference?? To make things harder it is on another sheet.
