I have made a sheet that contains a formula that links to another page and until I have a number in that cell the cell with the formula says NA is there a way I can clear that so it wil be a blank cell until I put a number in.
View 9 Replieswhen I apply an = 'Worksheet1'!A1. formula to a cell, the respective cell will contain a zero. Is there any way that the cell can be shown as completely blank and still hold this formula?

I have a formula that uses the content of this cell, c7 say, to perform so vlookup function and return a result. However, when the cell c7 is blank( meaning the blank cell in the list is selected), the result is #N/A.
I am trying to have that result be a blank.
The formula is as follows, assuming c7 is the data containing cell:
=IF(OR(LEFT($C7,1)="W",VLOOKUP($C7,Table2B_1,7)>9,ISBLANK(C7))," ",VLOOKUP($C7,Table2B_1,2))
I have this macro that adds whatever formula that is in L1 to the same cell down 66 rows. But it doesn't work like the way I want it to because it's stopping when it sees empty cells...so the problem is that my colum is actually completely empty...so how do I get it to stop when I want to?
Sub every66rows()
Dim i As Integer
i = 1
With Range("L1")
Do Until IsEmpty(.Offset(66 * i))
.Copy .Offset(66 * i)
i = i + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
I had a sheet that had a web query imported into it which took up columns A to F. The web query varies in length upon every refresh. In columns G onwards i have lots of formulas that read the information from the query to produce results.
When i imported the web query, on some refreshes it has the ability to push my formulas down in certain columns. I'm assuming this is because the length has changed of the web query maybe? Although it can do it on the opening import of the query which i find strange.
I was told the best way around this would be to put my web query on another sheet, however this doesnt appear to have fixed my problem.
Lets say for example #Sheet1!A1 looks at #Sheet2!A1, #Sheet1!A2 looks at #Sheet2!A2 and so on. This will work fine. When the web query is imported into Sheet 2, its data goes down to cell A72. Upon another refresh though, the length will changed and now the data might go down to cell A81. However, #Sheet1!A72 will have changed its formula to look at #Sheet2!A81 and my formulas on Sheet 1 will now read as follows:
#Sheet1!A69 = #Sheet2!A69
#Sheet1!A70 = #Sheet2!A70
#Sheet1!A71 = #Sheet2!A71
#Sheet1!A72 = #Sheet2!A81 <----- Problem!
Basically the problem with this is Sheet 1 will not be including Sheet 2 A72:A80 which i also need.
I have a spreadsheet that holds the NHL schedule for the season. (See thumbnail)
In the picture I've highlighted the formula I use to determine how many games each team has over the next 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. What I've been doing is deleting the column for each day after that day has passed. (So tomorrow, I'll delete column K, and all the other days will move up one. Sunday will become column K)
My problem is that the formula =7-COUNTIF($K3:$Q3,"—") in cell G3 will read =7-COUNTIF($K3:$P3,"—") after I have deleted Saturday, and thus will only count 6 days worth. (The 14, 21 and 28 columns will only count 13, 20 and 27 as well.) Is there any way I can write this formula so that it stays as K3:Q3? Right now each day I modify the 4 formulas for the 1st team and then copy/paste then over the other 30, but this is rather tedious.
I have a worksheet "Expenses" with columns Month, Category, Expense, Amount. There are four categories and, obviously, 12 months.
In the workbook is another worksheet, "Totals" which lists the months across the top, and the categories down the left. Then I have array formulas in each cell, that look like this:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$2:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$2:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$2:$E$990,0),0) )
This works fine, until people start moving cells around in the Expenses sheet. Say they sort everything they've put in by month, and then they want to move July up to the top because it's the start of our fiscal year. So say they have six expenses for July and they cut and insert them in at B2. Suddenly the formula now says:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$8:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$8:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$8:$E$990,0),0) )
I thought by using absolute cell references instead of relative ones, I could avoid this problem, but that's apparently not the case. I tried changing the cell references in the formulas to relative ones but it still happens then too.
I am inputting rows of data to test my spreadsheet and all of the sudden the formulas stop working??
Can someone take a peak at it and see if they can tell why its no longer working at I19?
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?
I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadhseet with various functions on it and what I am trying to do is this.
Cell E4 returns a >35 or <35 true or false value
Cell G4 is either blank or has "Yes" text type into it.
What I am trying to do is get cell F4 to return certain arguments.
E4 = >35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Email Hiring Manager"
E4 = ,35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Wait"
I have a basic IF formula that returns this
=IF(E4>35,"Email Hiring Manager","Wait")
Then if cell G4 is populated with a Yes the formula needs to overwirte the origonal if with the return arguments of
=IF(G4="Yes","Email Agency","Email Hiring Manager")
If yes then what would be Email Hiring Manager (yes will only be input if E4 is greater than 35) will be overwritten with "Email Agency"
Can this be done with two If formulas or does there need to be 3 or more to count if other IF formulas are actually returning a value?
If you have a cell with the value ="2*c2+3" NB: (Notice the ""), then to make excel convert the formula in another cell to =2*c2+3 (notice the removal of ""), so that it can calculate the value of the cell instead of showing a textstring?
I have formulas in a column and they are working unless I edit them to include another function, more cells, whatever, then they display as formulas instead of the result. I've gone to Tools --> Options --> View and the Formulas box is not checked. As well automatic calculation is on not manual.

Each of the timdown procedures adds another segment to the countdown clock (if you don't click "Exit" before the five seconds are up, the file closes without saving. All well and good.
Now, if you DO click the "Exit" button, you get a message that the close has been aborted and, upon clearing that messagebox, the file closes anyway!
I think it's something to do with killing all remaining OnTime instructions but I don't know how to go about stopping the clock.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel add-in that makes use of an Application-level event handler to detect when workbooks are activated / deactivated, and adjusts the command bars / ribbon accordingly. The add-in also includes a developer mode, so I have a shortcut key to stop the add-in while running, set the .IsAddIn property =False, and then change whatever settings I feel that I need to.
Problem is, when I run the shortcut to stop the add-in, and then run my shortcut to restart it, my event handling no longer works. I've done some MsgBox testing, and verified that the class module's "Initialize" event gets called, but subsequent events (i.e. WorkbookActivate) go unnoticed.
I'm wondering if Excel will allow me to start an Application event handler using WithEvents, stop it (by setting the class module variable = Nothing), and then re-start the event handling.

How to produce a formula that will stop counting after the day is over. For example, i have a spreadsheet that is calculating the total number of pending questions for multiple project types which are found on seperate tabs. The first tab of my spreadsheet is a Summary tab which displays the statistics of each project tab including how many questions we have pending. The number of questions are calculated by picking up how many cells display "Y" in the PQ (pending questions) column of each tab.
Our current process is to type in the number displayed in the summary that shows how many questions we have pending. What that does, is freeze the total number of questions we had pending for that day. I am trying to make this more automated by coming up with a formula that will freeze this number on its own.
If I write out what I am trying to do, it would go something like this:
Count cells with "Y" and stop counting after today.
Current formula in cell:
=COUNTIF(MDU!$L$6:$L$1000,"=Y")+COUNTIF(SDU!$L$6:$L$1000,"=Y")
I have a program that requires the last 8 days to be total, unless there are 2 days off in a row. So my cells need to sum the previous 8, but then stop when two zeros show in the column and then restart following. One zero should continue to total the previous 8 days. As shown below, for 1/10/14 I should see 57.5. The sum needs to restart on 1/13/14 to show a total of 10.5. I have tried multiple formulas with no luck.
