I'm trying to build a dynamic formula where a cell reference shifts one column over when a certain percentage changes. It's hard to explain, but the attached workbook should make it clear what I'm trying to accomplish.
I need a dynamic formula which if hard-coded would be something like =(tabname!A7). But instead of A, I want a calculated value such as ($C$2*12+1). My columns are numbered, so I want to say "the 26th column along", "the 37th along" etc, as C changes. I tried the index formula but couldn't get it to work, assuming it is even the right one.
Q: How can I point excel to the begining value cell if I know the ending value cell and the nubmer of cells to move to get there?
More details:
I have an investing sheet that I need to calculate the CAGR (compound annual growth rate). The formula is (ending value/begining value)^(1/number of years)-1
The number of years can vary but the ending value will aways be in the same cell. I am using a count to see how many years have been entered.
I have a sumproduct function that is aimed at a big block of data. Is there a way that I can write the function to where it will always find the last row of the data set and adjust accordingly?
For example if right now the range is A1:G2000 and next month I add 20 rows of data I want the sumproduct ranges to automatically adjust to A1:G2020.
Code: Dim Aname As String Aname = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("D2").Value & "Pricing" Workbooks.Add ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Aname & ".xls"
to create a new workbook. I need to copy 2 columns from the original workbook/worksheet to the one being created though. I can get the the original easy enough, but then getting back to the newly created book is proving difficult.
(the 2 columns being copied are filtered to what is needed and I have used the below to copy it, yes I know that is 3 rows but I couldnt get it to copy just E and G at the same time to the lastrow without including F)
Code: LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row With .Range("E2:G" & LastRow) .Select.copy End With
The original worksheet will have a sheet of data, but I want the user to be able to insert a row of data into this sheet and have the original values still referenced in the macro.
I do not believe the range function will work, because the relative cell positions are what are changing. Also, the offset command would not work, because the positions are not absolute to the active cell. Correct me if I am wrong...
Snippet of If Shape = "Freeform 30" Then 'AR Receiver = "kim.randy@companyX.com" End If I want it to point to something like =Receivers!C13
How would I do this without hardcoding the data above?
I have a question about dynamic cell references that I canīt find any info about anywhere else. This is what I want to do: I need to create a sentence that changes depending on user choices. Example:
Cell A1 = Sheet!AX Displayed text Dear Mr. "name"
Where the X is a number that will change depending on other things. I would love to do something like: =Sheet!A(E1). Where the value in E1 is for example 4. The result would then be =Sheet!A4 and if I changed the value in E1 the reference =Sheet!A(E1) would also change. I donīt know the syntax for doing this or if it is even possible.
I'd like the "WildCard" to pull from a value in a cell whereby I can run a button macro that, when pushed, deletes the tab/worksheet named "WildCard". For instance, if I wanted to delete "Sheet3" I would type "Sheet3" into, say, cell C3 and then press the button to run the macro and "Sheet3" would be deleted. How to I refer the macro to cell C3? I currently have a macro that inserts/names a sheet based upon a cell reference and macro button. I'd like one that can delete in the same way.
I would like to be able to write a formula which references text within a cell and the formula automatically changes when the text changes. Example is attached.
Is it possible to write the formula so if I change "A" in A1 to "Z" the formula will change as well? Or the formula will at least always reference the text within the cell, not necessarily the text that exists at the formula's conception?
I'm trying to create a user defined function to drop into dblookup functions that will always reference the first cell in an associated column and the first cell in the row of an associated column.
I came up with the following, however the problem is that the udf always returns the values for the active cell's, row and columns.
Function SRCref2() Application.Volatile
myfield1 = ActiveCell.Column Dim1 = Columns(myfield1).Range("a1").Value SRCref2 = Dim1 End Function
I would nest these in a formula such as "=srcsum(srcref2(), srcref3())". Ideally I could then use this same funtion anywhere instead of having to use and worry about the accuracy of "=srcsum($a$2,$b$1)"."=srcsum($a$3,$b$1)"."=srcsum($a$4,$b$5)".etc.
It seems like there should be a current cell method or something but I can't find it and I'm not smart enough it seems to use vb to designate some kind of floating intersect as a base for a row and column reference.
Is it possible to copy a formula and have the worksheet name increase incrementally instead of the cell reference? Example: In column A, I have the following -
I want to copy this across to column B, but instead of just copying that exact foruma across I am wanting a formula that will update the worksheet reference to:
TDI_SR_F_2 is the worksheet after TDI_SR_F_1. NB - I cant use find and replace function as it will change the '1' which is part of the cell reference ($G$1) to a 2 as well. I know I can use TDI_SR_F_3 as a search string, but the process is going to be extremely tedious, i.e. there are literally over 100 rows I need to do the find and replace on.
I currently have a file that is linked to an external workbook that is referencing a certain cell from a certain tab. The below is what Column A & B look like right now. What I'm wanting to know is is there a way to have the formula in Column B automatically reference the name in Column A (which is the tab name in the external workbook) instead of having to manually change the formula when the value in Column A changes?
In other words, I want everything in the external reference formula to remain the same except have the person's name change dynamically...

i have 2 worksheets. one with portfolio stock data, and a second that i would like to use for dynamic charting. the chart worksheet has a drop down menu that chages a refernce cell to a number corresponding to the collumn in the portfolio worksheet for the chosen ticker
i would like to make a dynamic chart that updates the data ranges based on something like this: ....
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.
I have a problem creating a circular reference with dynamic ranges. I have searched already but can't find the specifc problem. I have a spreadsheet where I use vba code to insert extra columns. Within the worksheet there are sum calculations at the end of each row. When I add a new column within the table I would like the sum calculation to expand to account for this extra column.
Now, I thought that dynamic ranges would be the way to go but the only way I can see to do it creates a circular reference as the CountA function trys to count the cell with the sum function in it.
I am trying to create a pivot table on a new sheet names as 4x4
I am getting following error:
Error : 1004 Reference Not Valid
I am not sure where is the problem. I have generated this code by using macro recorder and just changed the source and destination of the pivot generation code.
Each of my data sets spans roughly 75 columns by 250 rows at present, but this could expand. The first 7 rows contain metadata. Columns 2-25 or so contain the raw data, from which everything to the right is calculated. The data sets have most columns in common, but not necessarily all.
In order to tease out the most meaningful information from my data, I frequently sort all or part of it based on varying criteria. When I find a useful sorting criterion, I create a new column with a header that describes the criterion and populate it with a formula that returns a 1 if the condition of interest is met for that row, or a 0 if it is not. For example, if I am doing this in column AA, I might enter
=--(AND($AX8>$AA$4,$Y8>0))
and copy it down to the end of the data. The resulting vector of 1s and 0s quickly re-identify data that meets that criterion even after subsequent resorting. It also makes locating data that meets multiple sorting criteria extremely simple. Essentially, I create a truth table.
Cell $AA$4 in the above example contains a "comparator" value I might wish to change at some point, which would change the subset of data the condition selects for.
Here's the first hard part:
For each data set, I need the ability to generate meaningful plots that includes separate series based on the criteria I have described. However, I also need to retain the ability to resort the data or change the comparator value without disrupting these plots. In other words, the plots must NOT change when the order of the data is changed, but MUST change to display the appropriate data when the comparator changes.
Here's the 2nd hard part:
Once I have this working for one data set, I need to be able to port it to other data sets (which are contained in other workbooks), so that I can compare equivalent plots from each. I also need to minimize the number of manual steps involved in doing so, to avoid human errors and excessive time consumption.
The only other possible complication I can think of at the moment is that, to this point, I have been inserting blank rows to isolate subsets that I do not wish to perform further sorting on from each other.
Right now I am angling toward VBA code that loops through the entire data set to generate base dynamic ranges using the column header row (row 1) as the names, and the entire column of data for the rangeloops through the truth table columns to generate "branch" row ranges for each of the sorting conditions,loops through the entire data set one more time to create "branch" ranges for each of the base ranges.
I could generate some code to accomplish a one-off solution for a given configuration of a single data set (provided there is not a list length limit in a chart series that I'd be violating)...but without a dynamic named range, I don't know how to get to something that would update appropriately. So in essence, I am still stuck at the dynamic range part of this.
In sheet1, I have the borrowers and outstanding per employee. In the Area Avg sheet, I have the average borrowers and outstanding in each area as this is the standard for comparison (I got this through the subtotal function).
Now what I have to do is in sheet1, format(change the color) each cell under borrowers which is greater than the average of the relevant area. Since, (in my actual data) the name of the area may be duplicate in different regions, the reference value (average borrowers of the area) from "Area Avg" sheet has to be traced through multiple criteria which are: Division, Region and Area. The same also has to be done for outstanding but the solution can be provided for borrowers only.
Now this is an Expense List present in Sheet 2 and In Sheet 1 Cell F5 I would have a Dropdown where I would be Selecting the Items from Column B i.e $B$2:$B$8 I want the Msg Box to display the tentative price of each selection present in the column C...I know I can use Vlookup and Show but I want to make it user-friendly and not have to many cells occupied with formulas as the MSg Box will display the price but I still would be manually entering the Price.
Presently I calculate a worksheet and store the result in any array the size of which is determined at the start. I then enter all the results in a worksheet and get the max and min values and numerous other data. I am trying to find a way to get the max and min values without having to enter the data to speed the routine up.
this is the code that puts the results into a worksheet.
Code:
Sub Recalculate() 'Recalculates the WorkBook Dim Calc_ Worksheets(startSht).Select Set Output = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Please select the 1st Output Range.", Title:="SPECIFY RANGE", Type:=8) Set OutPutLabel = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Please select Label for
Say there are two changing values in a spreadsheet: A row reference, and a column reference, called sRow and sCol.
sRow and sCol are integers, and they are also changing values.
I want to know how to find how many cells have something in them on row R, starting from column C to infinity (To the right). But the problem is that R and C change sometimes, so I have to make some sort of dynamic CountA formula.
I know I have to use CountA() to do this, but I don't know how to make the range reference just from two integers. What I have tried so far is CountA($sCol$sRow:$sRow), but this does not work. How do I properly format this formula?
I'm trying to reference text from one worksheet to another. The data is all in column A on the "Template" worksheet, however the row varies (ie starts at row 5, then 7 the 9 etc). The cell row is always +2 rows on the previous row, and column A.
What can I use to pull across the cells with the information that I want, onto the "Report" worksheet?
Basically I have a web query. In this web query the url has a part which changes to direct it to a different page with similar formatted data.
These variables that change are all in column A of my excel sheet.
So say it was http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=*VARIABLE*
and Variable changes according to the cell value in A1, A2 etc etc.
Right so say i set up a macro to get the data from the website, and i do some stuff to this data e.g. cop and paste it to B1. I need it to automatically change the urls variable to that of the cells below and then do the copy and pasting to the cell below (B2) it copy and pasted before(B1). Then again it change (the variable at the end of the url) to the value of Cell A3 and after its obtained that data copy and paste it below B3
Im not great with vb, like i can understand it if its infront of me but at this stage i cant write it.
Im guessing though i have to use like a counter that increases makes the variable pick it from the cell below.
Oh and i need it to stop at say when the variable reaches cell A360.
I would like to create a dynamic range based on a cell value. However, the cell reference may vary because the numbers of entries in the workbook can vary.
In addition to that, after the first range (eg. A1:A10), I would like to create a second range after the first (eg. A11:A20).
I am trying to find unique values on one page and copy/paste them on another page (all within one workbook). I tried to use advanced filter, but ran on some problems: i) it does not copy values on to the new page ii) it is not dynamic.
my information is entered on a daily basis, which is why I need the filter (or code) to be dynamic. The information, however, is not stored, but rather generates a daily invoice, this is why I want find only unique values to appear on a new page (invoice).
