Sort Range Without Affecting Formulas That Reference It
Dec 28, 2007
I want to be able to sort a table alphabetically by one column after adding a new row to the bottom. But there is another table that uses the values of the former table. How can this be done without screwing up the formulas in the second table.
how to highlight entire rows within a spreedsheet based on the information in a cell. I have gone to the conditional formatting and done:
=$A4="Needs Labs" and formatted that red, but when i go to note what areas it applies to, It will not highlight the row. I use the wizard box to decide where to apply the formatting like I saw on an online tutorial and dragged across the row, but nothing happened.
I have an excel file - central database - that holds a lot of raw data organized in tables. There are more than 15 files (dependent files) that access this data using VLOOKUP formulas.
I now need to add a few columns to the central database and these columns can't be after the columns already existing, i.e. they have to be on the left of some of the existing columns. Inserting those columns is going to mess up all the vlookup formulas in the dependent files.
Is there a way change the central database file without affecting the vlookup formulas in the dependent files?
I want to sort each row in an excel sheet so all calls are in alphabetical order without affecting any other row. I need to do this for about 500 rows. Is there any quick way of doing this without having to sort each row individually.
in the attached WB you'll find a Source Table that should be duplicated and in the same time sorted as per the Points. The task should be accomplished with NO VBA, NO Helper Columns and NO Manually Copy+Sort.
Column "H" formula was no problem but I'm stuck with the "G" formulas as you can see in cells G5 and G7. I found it difficult to handle two different names with the same points. What would be the correct formula for column "G" ?
i have a data entry tab where we put names and button to sort and hide blank rows from other tabs. Problem i want to move down the number entered also. something like extend sorting but not affecting the formula on the other columns.
I have a adjusting table which auto sorts based on the latest weeks results.
If one of the results is an N/A (There is no data for the site that week, the table will auto sort this value to the top. How do i get it to move any errors to the button of the table?
I've attached a sample worksheet : Table example.xlsm
I want to have a summary tab calculate figures of other tabs. For example in "Summary" tab, I want to Sum (a:a) for tab "January" =January!sum(a:a) Does not work. I have also tried other options as well. Is it possible to use formulas when referencing other tabs.
I would like to ask if it is possible to sort a range of row? What I mean is, if I sort like Row 1, the entire block of row 1 will move as well? Like if i have column A to F, then row 1 of column A to F will move together at the same time.
I have a list of football fixtures that I want to pace in date order. The fixtures are however linked to a grid which has the following formula =IF(FIXTURES!C1="","",FIXTURES!C1 )
so that a zero doesn't appear until a result is actually added. Unfortunately when you sort the fixtures into date order the grid still looks at the original square, NOT the moved one appertaining to the fixture.
I would like to drag down the formula from the last cell in Column A in reference to the last row in column B.
E.g My last data in Column A104 (code to select the last cell and this can vary from time to time the report is updated) Column B has data till B142. I want to drag A104(contains formulas) down to A142.
Here is what I have but Selection Autofill doesn't work.
In the attached example, I need to create a formula for cell I2 (Balance Remaining) that is driven off the most recent calculation (in this case, F68) but still allows for additional rows to be added to the ongoing list of orders. I believe I'm supposed to use an index formula but not sure how to write/apply it? I need to be able to add rows past 68 and still have Cell I2 (Balance Remaining) continue to calculate correctly.
On choosing Auditing Funtion, Trace Dependants, a small icon representing a spreadsheet ? appears at the end of a dashed line. What does this refer to?
I used the vba recorder to get the code and didn't change one thing, and now I am getting an error when i click on the command button to execute the code.
error
Run time error 1004 The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By Box isn't the same or blank.
Row 1 = column headings
row 2 is the first set of data, *****, however, most of the data in the column is blank. There are only 2 options, (Yes) or blank, and I am trying to sort the sheet so all the (Yes) appear at the top
If I do a simple AVERAGE or SUM of A1:A10 in worksheets Sheet 1 to Sheet 3 I do get the result I need (average or sum of this cell range across the 3 sheets).
Now if I change the order of my data (sort it) in one of the sheets, what used to be A1:A10 will perhaps become F1:F10 after sorting and the whole point of 3D reference formula will be lost. Lets say in all these sheets ROW A contained some whatever values for MILK and I needed to SUM them across 3 sheets, now A1:A10 might be BREAD (after sorting) and I will be summing MILK and BREAD.
My formulae does not know I sorted my data.
That is the question - is there a way I can sort my data in one sheet and still be able to use 3D referencing to get my totals right?
1. Is there any way a Cell can automatically be updated? for example:
On Citi Bank worksheet, As soon as a deposit matures, I insert another row and enter new fixed deposit data on "Row 13", but then I have to manually change the references on "Row 4" so that it points to the new "Maturity date" and the "Interest" and the "Current balance".
Is there any way I can automatically update Maturity, Interest rate and Current balance as soon as I enter new deposit information.
2. On the "Fixed Deposit Report" worksheet. Is there any way the list of deposits can automatically sort based on the maturity date as soon as I enter the new deposit information?
I am working on a massive Pivot Table but in order to compile it I have to copy data from many worksheets into one. My problem is that each worksheet contains about 11,500 formulas with references to other workbooks and cells. However, none of these is locked for cell reference (meaning none has the $ sign for row or column) so copying and pasting obviously screws it up since the reference is changing but I need to have the links active in the pivot table.
It would obviously take me a year to add 440,000 individual $ signs. Is there any way, a trick of sorts, where I can just highlight the entire worksheet and add the $ sign to each and every cell reference automatically?
This may be an easy answer, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have a cumulative page of formulas that reads "SHEET1!B8+SHEET!B9". I need the next row formula to reference "SHEET1!B47+SHEET1!B48", and then "SHEET1!B86+SHEET1!B87". Each row the formula moves 39 rows on sheet 1. Is there a way to get excel to automatically do this, so I don't have to go line by line?
I'm actually having difficulty with the sumproduct function, I'm trying to count items based on multiple criteria (and yes I have looked under that). I'm using a very helpful formula that I grabbed from this site. =SUMPRODUCT(1*(base!$B$1:$B$19465=locations!B$1),1*(base!$A$1:$A$19465=locations!$A6))
The problem that I have is that this doesn't work if I replace $B$1:$B$19465 with $B:$B. now as the number of rows on the base sheet may change, this means I need to change the formula each time I change the data on the base sheet which is somewhat ridiculous. I've been playing around with indirect trying to reference the last cell in a range, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere with that.
How do I change the code so that the macro looks up the next sheet (instead of by sheet number, which is how the code was recorded) and transfers data to the summary page until there are no more new sheets. See attached zip.
The spreadsheet works in Excel 2000 when you open it in any newer version it is corrupted. Which is fine so we are rewriting it in Excel 2010/2013.
We have data in columns A:E which comes from the refreshable query. Data in F:I are different formulas based on the data from the query. The number of rows we get will vary from query to query. The headers never change just the data. How can we make it so that when no matter the data length the formulas will always autofill up or down depending on the data length?
I'm preparing an accounting model for my office use. How to solve the copying of formula to all other cells.
The detail is here:
Sheet 1: 1) I've entered a number 1000 in L2
Sheet 2: 1) I've entered a values in columns D,E,F,G 2) Calculations : at G2 : the formula is =D2*Sheet1!L2
The problem is when I Copy the formula in G2 through G3, G4, G5........... it changes to =D3*Sheet1!L3, =D4*ValidData!L4, =D5*ValidData!L5 and so on... but it should be =D3*Sheet1!L2, =D4*ValidData!L2, =D5*ValidData!L2, so that the L2 value shall be constant for calculations in all cells.
I have a 2 columns (A and B) next to each other that is using a Sum formula and other multiplying formulas. They reference 3 cells in a different column (C) to come up up with the answer for A and B. Therefore A1 and B1 reference C1 C2 and C3 (and possibly if want to use in future column D with D1 D2 D3).
Then in A2 and B2 I want to reference from C4, C5, C6 Then in A3 and A4 I want to reference from C7, C78, C9 etc.... and so on...
Instead of retyping formulas for each row in A and B, I want to copy down, but I getting the wrong answer when I do that.
I am therefore assuming I typing the formula wrong. How do I type it correctly so the cell reference changes automatically when I pull down columns A and B?
Formula for Column A: =SUM($G28:$G30) Forumla for Column B: =($G28*$H28+$G29*$H29+$G30*$H30)/$B17
Therefore next row should be referenced from G31 to G33 and H31 to H33
But when I copy it only adjusts it for 1 reference down.
I have 2 sheets in a workbook where i would like cell G8 on sheet 1 to equal the value on A11 sheet 2 & G9 to equal A12 and so on down the sheet. The problem is that G8 are 3 merged cell so every time I try to use autofill the reference number jumps by 3. The formula in cell G8 is
I have a list of codes from which I'm trying to extract all unique entries.
For example, col A has 001, 001, 002, 003, 003, 003, 004, ...
I'm trying to create a report template with formulas that reference col A and return a single unique entry for each code so that the new column has only 001, 002, 003, 004.
Essentially, the codes reference customers. A customer can have multiple purchases -- but I'm trying to create a report in which I can utilize SumIf formulas to Sum the purchases for each customer and represent those purchases on a single line per customer code.
The catch is that the purchases change monthly (i.e., next month the purchases may be 001, 002, 002, 002, 004) so my report template needs to have the flexibility to adapt without me rewriting the SumIf formulas and return SumIf results for only customers 001, 002, 004. Whereas in the prior month, the report returned SumIf results for customers 001, 002, 003, 004.
