Prevent/Stop #DIV/0! Error In Formula
Apr 21, 2009The attached file contains hypothetical data on a basketball player's success from the free throw line. It lists the number of free throws attempted and the number made and then divides the number made by the number attempted to calculate the free throw percentage. However, I keep getting a # DIV/0! error in the games free throws weren't taken. How do I write the code so that when the error occurs, a message is displayed to the effect that no percentage can be reported because no free throws were attempted by checking the cell in column D? How do I use the IsError function to figure this out?

Nov 1, 2006I am trying to cut/paste a row of formulas in my spreadsheet. The problem is that I want some of the referenced cells in the formula to stay CONSTANT and not increment on each new row. In this example, I want the references to row 17 (F17,E17) to increment (E18,E19,...), but I want the "G7" reference to remain hard coded (as G7) on each row I paste (because that is where my master value is). (The formula is working fine) =IF((F17>0),IF((F17<=G7),E17,0),0)

View 4 Replies View RelatedStop Formula Column Reference Changing On Insert But Not Row Reference
Mar 6, 2008A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use
=COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"),
and the next date comes along the formula changes to
=COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.

Excel 3003 :: How To Prevent To Stop Macro Called From A Function
May 3, 2014I am trying to use the simplest code possible (being a novice) to execute a macro which makes a copy of Cell A1:A4 and paste its values to Cells B1:B4 if cell B5=1 (or whatever).

Syntax Error In VBA Relative Reference Formula
Jan 7, 2014I was able to get VBA to post this relative reference, which sticks the formula
=DATE(YEAR($D2),MONTH($D2)+6, DAY($D2)+1) into a cell in Col J.
All fine and dandy, works as it should with this formula.
Code:
.Cells(Row, "J").FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(YEAR(RC4),MONTH(RC4)+6, DAY(RC4)+1)"
However, when I try this with a different formula =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C2,H2)),"REPEAT","SAFE"), I'm getting a compile error: Expected end of statement with this code:
Code:
.Cells(Row, "I").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(RC3,RC8)),"REPEAT","SAFE")"
The error message highlights the word REPEAT. I suppose it's something with all the quotes throwing off where compiler thinks the end of the formula should be.

Change Formula Cell Reference Based On Another Cell Reference
Jan 8, 2012How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow To Prevent User Error
Jan 6, 2009I have a simple spreadsheet which requires a date (mm/dd/yy) in Column A. Columns B-F use formulas to break this date down into the month, quarter, year, etc. Users frequently need to add new rows at the top of the sheet just below the column headers.
To be sure the formulas in Columns B-F are included when adding new rows, I put together a simple macro which copies the top ten rows, inserts them at the top of the sheet, and then clears existing data from the new rows (keeping formulas intact).
I put a button on the sheet to run this macro. However, sometimes users insert new rows without using the macro. This results in no data in Columns B-F for these new rows because the formulas weren’t copied.
How can I prevent this from happening? If I protect the sheet and prevent users from inserting new rows, the macro won’t run. Is there something I can add to the macro that will allow it to run properly while the sheet is protected? Below is the macro code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Rows("3:12").Select
Selection.Copy
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range("A3:A12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G3:K12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A12").Select

Hide/Prevent #DIV/0 Error
Apr 6, 2008My wife is trying to use an Excel Spreadsheet to help teaching fractions and decimals to children.
She wants a cell where the children enter the numerator and a cell where they enter the denominator and a cell where the result (to two decimal places) is shown. I have designed an appropriate sheet but would like to "fancy it up" a little.
If the denominator cell is empty, the result cell shows the error message "#DIV/0!".
I'd like this message to be hidden until the children have entered both a numerator and a denominator.
The numerator is in cell D2, denominator is in cell D6 and result is displayed in merged cells C8 - E8.
I've tried conditional formatting the cell with white text if the cell is zero and black if it is non-zero and also tried to specify white text if the cell value is equal to "#DIV/0!" but both do not do what I want.
If there was a way to specify white text for this cell if another cell was zero, that would do it too (ie. if cell D6=0 then conditionally format cells C8-E8 to be white text).
I've also tried a rather inelegant solution where the denominator cell has a "dummy value" (say 0.1) and then conditionally formatted this cell to make the text white (so that it doesn't show up). The results cell can then be conditionally formatted with two conditions: 1. If cell = 0 then white text and 2. if cell is non-zero black text. However, this means that as soon as any number is entered into the numerator, the results cell becomes visible.
Example. Initially cell D2 is blank, D6 has "dummy" value 0.1 and results cell (C8 - E8) has the value 0 in it (0 / 0.1 =0) conditionally formatted to be "invisible".
When a positive number is entered into cell D2 (the numerator) such as 2, the result (2 / 0.1 = 20) is non-zero and so 20.00 is displayed.
How can I hide the error message "#DIV/0!" until the denominator is no longer zero?
Excel 2007 :: Formula To Return First Cell Reference In Another Cell Formula
Oct 1, 2011Version: Excel 2007 WinXP
I'm basically looking for something almost like an inverse function to INDIRECT. This function would first look at a cell's formula as a text string, parse out the first valid cell reference in A1 format, and return that cell as a text string.
Detail: I have a spreadsheet with cells that point to other values. I would like to get only the row number from the first cell reference in the formula residing in a given cell. For example:
Suppose A1 has the formula =AL267. and A2 has the formula =SUM(AL94:AL235)
I would like a formula in B1 that returns the text string, "AL267" so that I would know this is the first reference.
Ideally it could be dragged down to B2 such that it returns the text string "AL94" (and not "AL235") because AL94 is the first cell reference in A2's
Currently I am copying the formulas after hitting ctl+` and pasting that text into a text editor, followed by text operations to manipulate the results into the desired values. Any solution that didn't involve going out to notepad.
