Unknown Cell Entry

Sep 17, 2009

I am using a spreadsheet written by someone else that contains a type of cell entry I am not familiar with. These occur in several tables. The first 3 columns of each table contain numbers or basic formulas. These are followed by two columns in which every entry appears to be the following:

{=TABLE(,B33)}

Despite the same apparent "formula", the number displayed in each of these cells is different. If I click on the formula display box (to the right of the cell address box) to edit the "formula", the brackets disappear.

Can anyone tell me what sort of beast I am dealing with here?

Summing Across Unknown Range In Unknown Cell

Oct 26, 2009

I've been working on a spreadsheet and these forums have been a great help. I'm now at the very last section and, surprise surprise, it's also the hardest!

I'm creating a stock trade recording sheet. I have a userform ask the user to enter a date, a time, the number of stock purchased, and the price of the stock. These are then entered in a new row.

Now what I want to do is have summary cells which say how many stocks were purchased and the total profit made for each day. Since each time is given its own row, I can't know in advance which rows to sum over. I also don't know on which days a trade was made. So a summary cell should only exist if a trade was made that day.

Could I do something like.... check if the date matches then sum over all the values for that date? So if column A has the dates, can I say "Search which rows in column A have this date" then "for those rows, sum column C"?

Also, how would I create a a row for each traded date's summary cell and enter the date in it? I've attached a spreadsheets which manually demonstrates what I want to do (no macros) and a spreadsheet with what I have so far (basic macros).

Any and all help much appreciated, I just need to get my head around creating and dealing with variable ranges. Is that a really advanced task? I don't think this is a one line solution so please bear with me while I make mistakes!

Unknown Cell Refernce In Formula

Nov 19, 2008

This may be an obvious one, I have received a spreadsheet with cell references or references to values that I am not familiar with, is anyone able to shed some light on how to interpret these references or at least find out where their source is within the spreadsheet?

Assigning A Variable To An Unknown Cell

Dec 27, 2006

I'm attempting to create a macro that will look at the total in column (K) and send an e-mail to two different addresses, depending on the amount. If the amount is over $10,000 then one address (over@macro.com) if under, then the other (under@macro.com)

My main problem is that I never know what cell the total is going to be in.

I currently have all quotes going back to the person that sent in the request, no matter what the amount. Their e-mail is in the sheet.

So what I think I need to do, is find the last cell in column K with data and assign it a variable. If that variable is over $10,000 then I can send the e-mail to a hard coded address. If it's over, I just use my original code.

Set Variable To Unknown Last Used Cell In Known Column

Jun 24, 2008

I'm trying to define the last row in a column which is determined from a find command. It's quite a large sub, and the rest is working properly, so I'll just post the (still rather large) troubling section.

'startingPoint is declared as a range. Destbook, reporttarget and FullControlName all exist.

'this sets StartingPoint to a one cell range in a sheet named from a custom class in a workbook named from variable destbook

Set StartingPoint = DestBook.Sheets(ReportTarget.Name).Cells.Find(what:=FullControlName, searchorder:=xlByColumns)

WriteCol = StartingPoint.Column

'this changes the range to include the whole column of the existing range
Set StartingPoint = Range(StartingPoint.EntireColumn.Address).....................

Single Cell Entry To Multi Cell Entry

Jul 7, 2009

i have an address that is all in one cell displayed like

101 hampton Court, Hampton heath, Hampton Town, Hamptonshire, HA01 1AS

but i need to have it split in to individual cells so

Cell A1 would be 101 hampton court
B2 Hampton Heath
C2 Hampton Town
D3 Hamptonshire
E5 HA01 1AS

each part of the address is split by a comma, so i have tried to use that as a identifier as to where that part of the address is, but failed on that, i can separate out the first part and the post code with a find and replace but not the middle.

also i need it to work backwards ie

it finds the post code first,

then the county

then the town

as those 3 are always the last 3 parts, but the address could only have 1 line of addres beofre the town or 3, and it would get messed up as all the post codes, county ans town needs to be in their respective columns

Check If Any Entry In List Older Than 7 Days - Delete Second Double Entry?

Sep 11, 2013

I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.

I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.

Formula To Look For A Number Entry On One Worksheet And Return Another Fixed Entry?

Mar 14, 2014

Is there a formula that will allow me to look for the existence of any number value in a row of one worksheet and then return a specific number value in a cell on another worksheet? For example, if the formula finds any number value it will always return the number 15 to a cell on another worksheet.

Tranferring Variable Entry From Form Entry To Macro

May 1, 2009

I used a form with textboxes for data input for one of my vb macros. Currently I have the private sub from the form transfer those entries to a remote cell on the spreadsheet, (like in column "HZ"), so that the macro that will actually utilize them can retrieve them. Is there a way to pass that data directly from what is entered in the form in the textboxes to the macro that will actually use them?

Unknown Characters

Apr 20, 2009

Using web queries i get in a cell ie:

or

The last part of these "numbers" (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) is text that i want to convert into numbers (0.75, 0.5, 0.25).
If i isolate this text in a cell (with the right() formula) the code() formula gives 63 as result for all the above texts.
I may solve the problen storing these texts (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) in separate cells (pre-fixed in some cells) and then for my new data (from query) do some search/find .
Is there a better way solving this using a different way-macro?

Unknown Popup (not A Dialog Box)

Dec 31, 2009

I'm modifying a template that originally shipped with Excel 2003 (I have not upgraded to 2007). In the template, there is a pop-up box (not a dialog box) that shows up when I'm on certain cells. I've attached an image of it. It's the yellow box containing the words "Company Information..." etc. I cannot find any way to remove it! It's not a comment, and selecting it doesn't allow you to edit it. What is it, and does anyone know how to remove it?

SUM A Column With Unknown Length

Jun 26, 2012

Trying to sum up a column that has an unknown length. This is a canned Excel form that is saved within a software system and is used to create customized documents. Usually, I would enter the table name.field name in a cell to pull the data from various parts of the system.

In this case, that data resides in AA234 of my customized Excel sheet. When the user retrieves this doc from the system, the data could run several rows, starting from AA30 to AA255. So, in my "Total" cell, I've entered =SUM(AA1:AA255), so it will just add up whatever is in the column, regardless of how long it runs upon document generation. When I try to pull the document, I get "=SUM(#REF!)" in that field instead.

Sum Across Unknown Number Of Worksheets

Sep 20, 2007

The colours are just to mark the ranges

As every month is different the number of sheets adding up to the Red sheets(week total)
will change and the same with the Blue sheet(month end total)

Is there a code I can run for this summing up to be done?

Yellow is where data is entered

Red is where the Yellows range sheets need to add up before it

The Blue is where all the Red range sheets need to add up

Deleting Cell Content Based On Entry In One Cell?

I have a sheet that I fill out with customer data then print and start over with the next customer. This requires me to tab and delete through the sheet before starting the next entry and I am wondering if there is some way to auto clear the unlocked cells based on a single entry IE when we entered new data in the 1st field this would clear the unlocked cells and make them ready for new data?

Deny Cell Entry If Cell Exceeds 5 Entries

Jun 19, 2007

i have managed to pull together some code that will deny people adding data into cells if they have 5 of the same entry. the entries are entered in a range and are matched against a single cell outside of the range. heres the

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim greycell As Range, i As Long
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.[grey]) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each greycell In Target
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Me.[grey], greycell.Value) > 5 Then
i = greycell.Interior.ColorIndex
greycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
greycell.Select
MsgBox "no cell entry past 5", vbCritical, "ERROR"
greycell.ClearContents: greycell.Interior.ColorIndex = i
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

what i need with is adapting this code to match two ranges as i cant use the worksheet_change event twice. i need it to be as if they were seperate events but are merged together. eg:.............

Restrict Cell Entry To Numbers Based On Another Cell

Mar 13, 2008

I am trying to do with data validation, trying to stay away from vba on this... and it is probably very simple:

Cell A1, they can select Rice, Cheese, or Rabbit
I want to use custom data validation on B1, so that if A1 = Rabbit, they can only enter 1. If it is blank or the other two choices, they can enter 1 through 10.

Can I do that with data validation? I can't get any if thens to work in it.

Allow Entry Into Cell D4 Or E4 NOT Both?

Dec 30, 2008

When users enter data, I want them to enter a percentage into column D OR a dollar amount into column E, or enter nothing at all, but NEVER to enter into both D and E on the same row. They are set to zero by default.

It would be great if a message box could just pop up saying they can do one or the other, and if they've already entered into the other cell they need to zero it out before changing this cell.

Max And Min Unknown Malfunction With Multiple Criteria

Feb 14, 2014

I have a spreadsheet (attached) with historic weather data for a certain location.

Column A (Weather Day)
1-Jan
2-Jan
3-Jan
...
...
31-Dec

Column B (Record High)
28.4
39.2
37.4
...
...
39.2

Column C (Record Low)
-36.4
-38.2
-32.8
...
...
-36.4

I have a user defined/input "Entry Date" & "Exit Date"

The code to return the max is as follows: {=TEXT(MAX((Weather_Day>=Entry_Date)*(Weather_Day<=Exit_Date)*(Temp_Record_High)), "0.0") & " áµ’F"}
This code works perfectly fine for all input dates and returns the Record High between any Entry/Exit day.

The code to return the min is as follows: {=TEXT(MIN((Weather_Day>=Entry_Date)*(Weather_Day<=Exit_Date)*(Temp_Record_High)), "0.0") & " áµ’F"}
It's identical except MAX is now MIN. However, the returned MIN doesn't always return the correct value. It is either correct or returns 0.0.

Examples would be:

Entry Date: 4-20
Exit Date: 6-25
Both values return correctly

Entry Date: 4-21
Exit Date: 6-25
Record High returns correctly, Record Low = 0.0

Entry Date: 4-21
Exit Date: 11-7
Both values return correctly. However, with 4-21 as the Entry, 11-7 is the first Exit date to return a correct MIN value.
