i have a spreadsheet acting as a type of database (our work wont pay for more licences for access!), and it has multiple functions running. well, it has 3000 lines x2 for 2 sheets with about 5-10 full colums of functions. this means the template file i have starts off at about 10mg. with data, this goes upto around 15-20mb. howver, we get a lot of the massive size increases. however, the sizes we get are often upto 150mb! so, i dont know vb at all, and have only learned functions recently. was hoping someone might be able to help out sorting this out? i dont know if i can upload a coppy online, but i can email.
I am aware of the following topic in the VBA Help file:
"Using Microsoft Excel Worksheet Functions in Visual Basic You can use most Microsoft Excel worksheet functions in your Visual Basic statements. To see a list of the worksheet functions you can use, see List of Worksheet Functions Available to Visual Basic.
Note Some worksheet functions aren’t useful in Visual Basic. For example, the Concatenate function isn’t needed because in Visual Basic you can use the & operator to join multiple text values."
And I'm aware of how to call Excel funcitons from within VBA; e.g., answer = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(myRange)
However, not only are some Excel functions not useful; the fact is they cannot be used because VBA has a native function that does exactly the same thing and you have to use that native VBA function to achieve your goal. It is these overlapping functions that I am especially interested in. I want to know what I should use directly in VBA and what I need to go to Excel for.
Is it possible to use excel functions with in VB? (such as CONCATENATE, LOGEST etc.) For example, if I have a site no. and data for this site in an array could I append the site number to the data by:
So I have say 1-4 columns that may have an A to describe a student as absent. In the 5th column I'd like it to add all the A's and return a value of 1-4 or if possible... a result that says 4A etc. The column might have another letter in it so i only need to add it up if it has an A in it.
To visualize, i just want to add up the students that have not attended a class.
I wish to set 2 different cases (good and normal sales) for a list of data.
During good sales - fruits can be sold within 4 hours - Fruits sold off during peak season (Definition of peak season: 2 calendar days before or on public holiday or 10 days before 31st May) - < 2 fruits per type
Date of public holiday for example: 1 Jan 2014, 18 Apr 2014, 1 May 2014
For normal sales - fruits only able to sell of the next day - Sell of on non-peak season - > 2 fruits per type
I am trying to write a formula that will satisfy the following:
C1 and G1 are number values.
IF (cell E1 does not contain any text) AND (G1-C1-12.5>=0), then output (G1-C1-12.5), otherwise output nothing (""). BUT, IF (cell E1 DOES contain text) AND (G1-C1-13>=0), then output (G1-C1-13), otherwise output nothing.
I have an entire excel column which was filled-in with values ranging from 1000 to 40000. What I was trying to do is to just sum up the all the values which are between 9000 and 20000. I tried using the sumif function =sumif(and(A5:A40,">9000"),(A5:A40,"<20000")) but it does not work, it says that the formula that I typed contains an error.
Currently, all of our data in Excel are linked by using Excel Functions between workbooks and some of the files are so large that it may take 10 minutes to open and copy and paste a cell may take three minutes (which is ridiculous slow).
Pardon my ignorance, my understand of Excel VBA/Marco is about automation. Even i use marco to run the excel, i still need formula in the cell in order to perform the task, right?
Is possible to pass names into a worksheet function and whether values from other sheets are able to be passed in, eg i am trying to paste this function into the work sheet to find the left two characters of a certain string. However the string position varies:
I have a cell (D19) that I want to be automated to return a value based on a formula (it will equal Cell D15). But I also want to have the ability to allow the user to override this and enter a manual value if needed. My idea on how to do this is having a check box with a macro where if it is checked it will unlock the cell and clear out the formula and when checked it will reenter the formula and lock the cell.
Also same form - I need a check box that will check all applicable check boxes (all boxes under Deductions to be taken). Can anyone assist me in setting up these check boxes so that my functions will work, or if there is a "better" way of providing these functions please let me know.
(1) I need to work out the value of 2 years worth of interest on a loan - details would be
Loan = 30,180.00 interest = 14.90% pa (calculated daily) term of loan would be 60 months
I am currently using an ammortisation speadsheet which calculates the interest per month etc ... at this time I simply highlight and calculate the interest which would be two years worth ...
the problem is this calculation varies from the bank interest calculations (although the repayments are the same and the total interest payable amounts are the same)
The banks calculations are said to be done on the basis that the minimum monthly repayment is met and there are no additional fees thrown in ... so I cant understand the difference ...
(2) In addition to the above question, but working on the same loan, traditionally amortisation tables calculate the amount of the repayments, the interest component and the principal component ... some include a column where you can factor in additional repayments on a row by row basis (like the one I am referring to) the table assumes that the payment is made on the due date ...
what I would like to be able to do is (a) insert the actual payment dates (b) if no payment is recorded for that period, automatically insert an overdue fee
There are three situations that should yield the answer "overdue" and a fourth and fifth situation that should yield an answer "on target". I'm new to functions and have spent SEVERAL hours on this
=IF((OR(B14=1,2,3,12,15,16)),"A",IF(OR(B14=4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,21,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,50,51, 52,53,54,55,56,59,60),"B",IF(OR(B14=20,30,57,58),"C",IF(OR(B14=33,31,32,34,35,22),"E F OR G",IF(OR(B14=36),G,"ERROR")))))
I tried to do a search for this but the search function was not working.
I have an excel sheet that I can scan Mac address into. The reason I created the sheet is because when I scan them in they are uppercase and do not have separators. I would like to combine 2 excel functions into 1
is there any way I can make the chart inputs variable. I have an array of numbers. lets say 100 of them, these are linked cells and depending on the input I might have less than 100 numbers in these 100 cells. All the cells which have numbers will appear in a block first and all the non number cells will appear below them as blanks in anotherblock. Now i have to create a chart from these numbers, so at times I have to take the 90 cells where there are numbers and other times I have to take 95 cells. Is there any way I can get over this.
I'm trying to write a macro that looks up Column A so that each time it finds "Agent" as the first word in a cell, it takes that whole cell and copies it to another sheet.
I tried creating an array function that combines the If, Vlookup, and Right() and Left() functions, but no luck. Ideally, I would want this as a VBA macro.
I am writing some custom functions to be saved in an Add-In file, but am having trouble saving named ranges. I would like named ranges in the Add-In file to be available in other spreadsheets. Is there a way to do this? Or is there a way to take a range from Excel and save it into a globally available named range using VBA?
For the odds range, i have already two cells(the upper(F9) and the lower(E9)) and i have a cell named the current odd(G9). What are the formula together for the attribut cell(H9) for the following data:
1.0 : The current price is outside and below the odds range spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.0 if the current price is below 2,00 NOTE: Obviously the formula for this one is =IF(G9
1.1 : The current price is on the bottom edge of the “odds range” figure. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.1 if the current price is 2,00 NOTE: The formula for this one would be =IF(G9=E9,1.1)
1.2 : The current price is inside the “odds range” spread and is placed one or two clicks from the bottom edge. For example if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.2 if the current price is 2,02 or 2,04 NOTE: I have a hard time creating a formula with this one.
2.0 : The current price is outside and above the “odds range” spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 2.0 if the current price is above 2,20 NOTE: The formula would be =IF(G9>F9,2.0)
I have struggled with this and can't make it work. I am not sure if I should have used a lookup function.
I have this function in a worksheet: =IF(AND(I62<F62,I63>F63),B64,"0")
The problem is that cell I62 may contain a value or 0. If 0 then I need to go back up through four cells I61 to I58 to find the value. Only one of the cells I62 to I58 will contain a value. The rest will be 0.
To try and do this I wrote this function but it does not work. =IF(AND((IF(I62>0),I62,"IF(I61>0),I61,"IF(I60>0),I60,"IF(I59>0),I59,"IF(I58>0),I58,"I27""""")<F62,I63>F63),B64,"0")
I am trying to create a formula with mutiple criterias to come back with results of whether that person is Eligible or Not Eligible for stock. The criteria to be Eligible is as follows:
1) Hire Date before 1st March 2007
2) Band 1 and the performance review = Exceeded
3) If Band 2-5 then performance review must be either Achieved or Exceeded
See attached file for the example. I have got as far as the first 2 points but i am struggling with incorporating the last point.
I used to use VB and VBA years ago for fun, now I have a project at work and I havent touched it since 1999 at least. I am trying to program a function that I can call and pass it a text variable. It will search through excel for that text, and return a cell as a Range. Thats where I run into problems. Heres the
Function lookFor(text As String) lookFor = Columns("B:C").Find(text, After:=rCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _ xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _ , SearchFormat:=False).Address End Function
'...then later in the code...
Private Sub search_idBTN_Click() '... Dim rCell As Range Set rCell = lookFor(searchTXT) '... End Sub
I think it has something to do with the variable type, its expecting a range and it gets a string or vice versa or something.
