Too Many Arguments For Specified File Format
Jan 23, 2014
Why excel won't accept a simple COUNT function?
This is the formula. It is supposed to count every 4th cell in a column.
=COUNT(F156,F152,F148,F144,F140,F136,F132,F128, F124,F120,F116,F112,F108,F104,F100,F96, F92,F88,F84,F80,F76,F72,F68,F64,F60,F56,F52,F48,F44,F40,F36,F32,F28,F24,F20,F16,F12,F8,F4)
Excel tells that it will accept up to 255 arguments in a COUNT function, but it'll only let me include:
=COUNT(F156,F152,F148,F144,F140,F136,F132,F128,F124,F120,F116,F112,F108,F104,F100,F96,F92,F88,F84,F80,F76,F72,F68,F64,F60,F56,F52,F48,F44,F40)
I have to use this exact same formula as a SUM function as well, but am having the same problem. Neither SUM or COUNT will take all the arguments.
I've attached the file. The tabs in red are the worksheets that won't accept the formula. The green tabs worked fine (they all had less cells to include than the sheets in red.)

I am running a macro on startup from a template that opens the File Save As dialog box to allow the user to select a folder and filename and save it before continuing.
I would like it to default to the Q: drive, it defaults to where the template was opened from.
I used
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
to open the dialog, I tried using "Q:" as an argument but it doesn't seem to work.
if I try
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show "Q:"

I saved my worksheet in vba .xlsx and for some reason, when I go to the folder that it's saved in and try to open the file I get an error message saying "excel cannot open the file 'PO Acks fo 09-20-2013.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
This is weird because I have another file that I save right before this that opens just fine without an error. Getting frustrating. When I go into the ~Users folder it shows as an excel file and saved as .xlsx.
Where would the link be missing?
Here is the code
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"G:PURCHASINGSupplier ServicesGroupSharePublic~UsersPO Acks for " & Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx"

I am trying to save a file into a CSV format. When I choose that save as option the file is saved with the commas but a need each field to be surrounded by quotes.
Is there an easy way to do this? I know I could append the " around the data in each cell with a formula, but I'm hoping there is a cleaner way to do it.
I would also like to set the extention of the saved file to .txt when I save it, but Excel 2000 does not seem to let me do that.

i have a customer (im a computer tech, but excel is not my specialty) that has a weird problem with her most important file. She meant well, but tried to back up a 2.6 MB file to a floppy disk, and after it told her the disk was full, she was unable to open the file again in excel. (File Format Is Not Valid) It will, however, open in word, with the data there. Its in an unusable format, as there were 12 different worksheets (one for every month), all on the one page of MS Word. Better than nothing, but still will take weeks to reenter properly. I searched for a repair utility and had one that seemed to work, but only put a "0" in column A row 8. A far cry from what we are looking for. Ive also run a disk recovery program in the hopes of finding an older version of the file, but came up empty.

I have a file with code attached and when I try to save it I am told that the file cannot be saved in this format and that I must unprotect the code before saving.
I have no OnEvent macros in the code.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem. The code must be protected, non-protection is not an option.

My company uses database software called Business Objects. At the moment few people are using the program and its reports as they can't find the key ones or workout how to run them correctly. As everyone is comfortable with excel. I am creating a series of forms to guide my users to the key reports. I like this method because it is very user friendly and I can add lots of descriptions. Unfortunately my programming knowledge is limited to excel so I can't write a standalone program as you might suggest I do.
The problem:
I want to launch the non-excel files using VBA. For example, a user will click on a "Customer" button to see a second form containing a list of customer reports. The user will then click on the button containing the name of the report they want to launch. I want the file to open. I tried using hyperlinks in an excel spreadsheet which works fine for opening the non-excel files, but it isn’t nearly as user-friendly or interactive.

I am trying to make changes to the Y column where the calculation now looks at column C to see what is entered in that column. If it is "Futures" then it runs the existing formulas but if it equals "Forex" I want it to use the value in column D as the multiplier, where the Futures option uses the hlookup to get the correct multiplier from the Variables sheet. If column C is either "Options" or "Stock_ETF" then i want to just subtract column I from column Y times column P.
I attempted to add additional IF AND functions but got the error message "Too many arguments", so now i am not sure where to go from here.

I am facing a weird date format error in .csv file for a specific time periods.
I have a file where data is stored on monthly basis from the years 1976 uptil today. I have all the data months in expected format except for the years 1989, 1990 and 1991. These files are created by using Informatica and SAS.
For example:
Expected date format = 1-January 1989
Actual Date Format = 1-Jan-89
This issue doesn't exist when we open the same file in Excel, Textpad and Notepad.
I have attached screenshot of the data (filename: CSV Issue.JPG).

I have received a large file of text and numbers arranged (loosely) in columns in a .txt file that I need to get into a usable form in Excel. I'm trying to use the Text Import Wizard but am running into problems geting the column breaks right as there are thousands of rows of data items. As soon I think that I've inserted the break line in the correct place I scroll down a little further to find an item that encroaches into the next column, and when I shift the break line to the right to accommodate this new item I then encroach on the items in this next column.

I am working on an excel dashboard to display life information about energy consumption.
there is currently a bespoke syatem which does this but we need the dashboard to be changed so the job has fallen to me.
Energy usage across the site is recorded in a spreadsheet (automatically) every half an hour and is saved in a folder named CSV data, however the files are saved in a format which i assume is something for the current package: *.ew7
I can open and view the data by clicking "open as" and selecting excel.
I can reference to this data from another excel spreadsheet (dashboard) whilst they are both open it will update.
However when i close all spreadsheets and open just the dashboard it tells me that the links cannot be updated.
I need a solution or a way around this so i can reference from one workbook to another.
Has anyone had any experience of this kind of thing? can anyone offer a humble analyst a bit of advice?
I was not able to attach the file here (as its in the ew7 format) but i have uploaded it to rapidshare for anyone who wants to take a look...

I am running a DOS command to create a directory listing of ONLY DIR files with the short dos filenames and the long filenames. The command used is
DIR /A:D /X /N /S > c:sampledata.txt
Once read into excel, I simply want to have a spreadsheet with the following:
Directory Path Name, DIR Short Name, DIR Long Name
Anyone have some code to already do this? I have attached the sampledata.txt file to go with the pseudo code.

I have the following code which is part of a much larger macro which is converting a number so that the the trailing zero in the number 49.50 appears in the formula bar. This is essential as the eventual csv file links to an external printing program which only prints what is sees.
My problem is that this fix works when the file is saved in excel format, but when I save it in CSV format the number reverts to 49.5. How can I convert the original number which appears as 49.5 in the formula bar and is viewed a 00000050 in the file that the sent through. I cannot convert using the text to columns when the file is opened as the other codes in the original file need to maintain the original formatting.
Code:
Sub mc003()
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate
[Code]....

Isn't there a checkbox somewhere where I can tell Excel 2007 to leave xls files as they are? My Excel 2010 doesn't urge me to save an old xls file format into xlsx but in Excel 2007 I can't find a switch (and I don't rememeber if I had to do anything in 2010). So ultimately I want to stay in compatibility mode when using old files.

I'm just wondering how you would go about extracting a date from a filename and formatting it into a different format so you can . Find with it. The file names are always in the same format with the same prefix. So each file is something like ABCDEFGyyyymmdd.xls. I'm really lost on where I should start with this one

I am using a CSV that has the date in Column A in the format of DD/MM/YYYY. When I open this CSV using a VBA comand the Format of the Cells in this col are then formated as either Date or General. The general format happends when the date cant be turned into US format and when it can then the date is turned US and displayd as such.
SO
14- Sep = 14/09/2007 as General
10- Sep = 09/10/2007 as Date
Im in Australia so the correct format is DD/MM/YYYY. Microsoft has issued a fix for this using Local:=True in the file open comand which is all good and well as it works unless you have office 2000 when it crashes. What would be the best way of fixing this, so that the Dates are all correct or the col is all the same format?

I'm getting the error that tells me I have more than 30 arguments when trying to get an average of cells across a row. The biggest issue is that I don't want to average all the cells in the row, just some of them.
I tried writing an IF statement for it and failed. What I want is every fourth cell to be totaled into the average. Another way to look at it is that I want every cell under the heading "south" to be totaled into the average.

I am trying to get two different arguments to work into one cell. I was using the "If" statement eg. if the value of B1 is greater than B2 then use the value in cell A1 else use A2. I also need in the same cell if the value of C1 = B then use the value in D1
What I am looking for is a statement which will decide which statement to use eg if B1 is blank then use the second statement else use the first statement.

It appears that the excel IF statement caps out at eight arguments. Is there a work around for this? I need to enter 29 arguments... Does excel have a CASE or Array function?
Example-works:
=IF((H3="Weight1"),"A",IF((H3="Weight2),"B",IF((H3="Weight3"),"C",IF((H3="Weight4"),"D",IF((H3="Weig ht5"),"E",IF((H3="Weight6),"F",IF((H3="Weight7"),"G",IF((H3="Weight8"),"H",""))))))))
Example-doesn't work:
=IF((H3="Weight1"),"A",IF((H3="Weight2),"B",IF((H3="Weight3"),"C",IF((H3="Weight4"),"D",IF((H3="Weig ht5"),"E",IF((H3="Weight6),"F",IF((H3="Weight7"),"G",IF((H3="Weight8"),"H",IF((H3="Weight9"),"I""")) )))))))

I've heard of calling a sub with arguments but don't believe I'd done it in the past. I want to remove the empty rows in 3 worksheets so that my row count actually stops where the existing data does. The second sub is where that takes place. What is the best way to call the sub to execute on the three sheets?
My thinking had been that if I used the argument ws as worksheet I could simply call the sub with the worksheet name as the argument.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub PopulateProfit()
Dim wb As ThisWorkbook
'Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsProfRep As Worksheet
Dim wsChaseRaw As Worksheet
[Code] ..........

I've created a spreadsheet that calculates both the SUM and the AVERAGE on 2 different rows. So far, so good.
The problem I've come across is that there are 35 different numbers (arguments?) that have to be calculated and from what I see, Excel has a limit of 30.
Is there a way for me to get around this?
If it'll help, I can send the spreadsheet to you so you can see what I'm talking about in the event I didn't properly explain it here.

The 2 basic arguments of the Countif Function (range and criteria) are simple and make sense. However, I've observed instances where the criteria component is in fact a range.
In this case, is what is the syntax instructing the app to count in the first range?
