Use Cell Value To Define Cell Reference
Sep 18, 2007
I want to define a cell range using a fixed column letter and then row numbers that are held as values in the spreadsheet somewhere. So for example I want to enter a formula = SUM(A4:A35). The problem is that the ranges I want to define are irregular and the row numbers I need have been calculated elsewhere in the spreadsheet. Say the number 4 is contained in cell B35 and the number 35 is contained in cell C35. So I want to say something like =SUM(A"plus number taken from cell B35":A"plus number taken from cell C35")

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
Function SRCref3()
Application.Volatile
myfield2 = ActiveCell.Row
Dim2 = Rows(myfield2).Range("a1").Value
SRCref3 = Dim2
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.

How 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?

i need to define a cell as text. How can this be done? The reason for this is because if I type 001 in a cell it will automatically turn that into 1. Also this formatting would need to be copyable. So if I copy and paste that cell template and put in say 002 it would still read 002

I record this for retrieving some data from the web for a particular page
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://www.emiratesauction.ae/en/cars/OnlineAuction.aspx", Destination:= _
Range("$A$1"))
how I can make the URL be something in a particular cell on Sheet2 - cell B1?

is there a simple way to do a vlookup (or any other more appropriate formula) using the value of another cell to define the named range relevant to that lookup.
eg I will have two different ranges for fitness performance levels, each of these will be named "Male" and "Female".
I would like to do a lookup based on a formula as follows: Try this formula. Column letter & Row number are for example only. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas  Z100 =vlookup(D4,NAMED RANGE,2,false)Â
the Named range would be a value in the same row ie B4 - being Male or Female
so I am hoping for something like Try this formula. Column letter & Row number are for example only. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas  Z100 =vlookup(D4,B4.Value,2,false)Â
otherwise I could just use an If and do something like: Try this formula. Column letter & Row number are for example only. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas).
Many more Excel Formulas  Z100 =if(B4="Male",vlookup(D4,Male,2,false),vlookup(D4,Female,2,false) )Â

I'm trying to create a drop down list that will define the name of the cell so I can reference it in formulas or codings to change the format of various cells defined by a specific name.
I'm not even sure if I can have multiple cells defined as the same name
I'll be inputting data into cells, and I want the color of the cell to change depending if the data is one of these criteria: 'In Service', 'In Transit', or 'Must Purchase'. I can't just make separate criteria columns to list all the data, because the data is already placed in a specific order. So I want whoever is viewing this to know which entry fits which criteria from the color of the cell.
The only thing I could think of is inputting the cell data value, and a drop down menu to define the cell name. I'll input a conditional formatting function to format based on the defined name criteria.

I have 3 variables right now...
Dim celadr As Range
Dim cLetter As String
Dim avgRow As Integer
and one line of code reads:
celadr = Range(ColumnLetter(LastScoreColumn) & avgRow)
When I mouseover columnletter it shows "H" and when i mouseover avgRow it shows "2"... this info is right but I think the problem may be trying to combine a string and an integer value as a range. How can I do this so that celadr is the range H2?

I want to define the range from a given cell and all data below within the same column strDataStart is the named cell in the worksheet that want to start from. Below is what I tried and failed.
Function rngDataCol(strDataStart As String) As Range
Dim rngDataEnd As Range
rngDataEnd = Range("strDataStart").End(xlDown)
rngDataCol = Range(Range("strDataStart").Address, rngDataEnd.Address)

I'm having trouble assigning a range of a single cell using vba. I'm doing this to create charts. Here's the sub containing the problem
Private Sub AddNewSeries(Target As CTarget)
Dim i As Integer
Dim Match As Boolean
Dim rValid, rInvalid As Range
i = 2
Match = False
Do While Match = False
If Sheets("Graph Data").Cells(1, i) = ReportTargetBox.value Then
Match = True
MsgBox ("report name match")
Exit Do
Else: i = i + 1
End If
Loop.....................
This msg box :MsgBox ("Cell Value = " & Sheets("Graph Data").Cells(2, i).value) is working and returning the correct value.

Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.

I am trying to find a way to display text that is the product of a concatenate function in a defined cell, but not to have the function itself in that cell. Basically, I want to have the below function in cell A1. I want to add a command to it to take the result and display it in cell A2.
=CONCATENATE(C5,"_",'Attachment 3-A'!C9:E9,"_",IF(C5="","",IF(C6="MPL",IF(VLOOKUP(C5,MPL!B:F,5,FALSE)="Lease","Lease_Contributable",
IF(VLOOKUP(C5,MPL!B:F,5,FALSE)="Pre-Lease","Managed_Pre-Lease",
IF(VLOOKUP(C5,MPL!B:F,5,FALSE)="Non-Contributable","Managed_Non-Contributable","Error"))),
IF(VLOOKUP(C5,Sale!B:F,5,FALSE)="Assignable","Lease_Assignable","Managed_Non-Assignable"))))
The reason for this is that I need the cell to be selectable (it is generating a file name that needs to be selected and copied), but I don't want the code behind it to be seen. I can't find a way to make the cell selectable AND hide the formula from being seen when the cell is selected. This is because our people keep copying the formula rather than the resulting text.
I was hoping for something like a DISPLAYIN(target) function, but it doesn't seem to exist.

= IF(AND(MATCH($B8, [AXS.xls]Sheet1!$E$1:$E$400,0) - 2 = $C8,
INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$400, MATCH(CX$2, INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$B:$B, $C8 + 16):INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$B:$B, $C9), 0) ) ),
INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$E$400, MATCH(CX$2, INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$B:$B, $C8 + 16):INDEX([AXS.xls]Sheet1!$B:$B, $C9), 0), 3), " ")
i have this formula, and i think it will work if i find a way to correct the blue areas. they are trying to define the match array. i tried using the address and cell functions with no luck. i just want the array to return something like B2:B15 (from the AXS sheet) so the match function works. in the current sheet, C8 and C9 have values that refer to rows in the AXS sheet

I have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1
1Jon
2Bob
3Fred
Week2
1FredUp 2
2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?

I am trying to populate a cell based on which number meets the criteria I define. This is based on sales revenue, so if the revenue is less than $6.5M, I want to use a certain value. If the value is equal to $6.5M but less than $8M I want to use another value and finally if the revenue is greater than $8M i want to use another value. Here's my formula, but it returns $0.
=IF(B2<6500000,Bonuses!J45)*OR((B2>6500000)*AND(B2<8000000),Bonuses!F45)*OR(B2>=8000000,Bonuses!B45)

I have a built a catalogue of records for various of my companies assets. Each asset has its own sheet in a work book and I have used a vb macro to include an automatic Index sheet at the front of the book. This takes the names of the various tabs, in the order I have them in the workbook and creates a simple listing in column A as an Index List
What I want to do is to build a summary table to the right of the Index List, pulling in a few of the key data points about the assets into a single table.
To do that I need to be able to extract the text string from the Index List and use it to form part of a cell reference pointing to a specific cell in the relevant individual Asset sheets.

I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.

I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB
ABC
CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)
I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?

I have a list of headings and items and I have a set of formulas that work out depending on the heading what items are listed.
Say theres 10 items and the heading starts at C4 and that heading has 10 items, so it puts "C5" as text in G1 and "C15" as text in G2 so i now know my cell range of items
How can i use the text in those cells to put in a formula to call that as a range?
If I use the indirect formula it shows me the value of the cell, but im after using it to reference the cell
