Using INDEX With Dynamic Workbook Name - How To Format Name Portion
Jun 29, 2013
I have a range of workbooks that I need to access when closed. I therefore want to use INDEX rather than INDIRECT.
This non-dynamic INDEX reference works perfectly:
=INDEX('[AAA 100.xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20;1;1)
In the future, however, there will be a lot of reference files and both portions of the name will change - I might have ABC 123, DEF 345, etc. These name portions will be stored in cells. Cell A19 might contain "AAA" and Cell A20 might contain "100".
I am trying in my ignorance to get something like this to work:
=INDEX("'["&A19&" "&A20&".xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20";1;1)
But I just get "#VALUE!".
Stepping through the evaluation, it seems the final value to be evaluated is this:
INDEX("'[AAA 100.xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20";1;1)
The outermost double quotes therefore seem to be causing the problem, but if I remove them I get "#REF!".

I have a column of data that contain miscellaneous comments in each of the cells in column 'A'. This is a sample of the text in one of those cells:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Is there a way to programmaticly search each cell in col 'A' to look for any occurrence of the string 'fox jumps over' and highlite in RED only that string occurrence?
So in the end the above cell would now be:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I have a workbook with a master data list including member names, member locations, member phone numbers, and various items checked out or on loan to members. I then have multiple sheets breaking down the data for quick reference. So for example Name, Member #, Location, Phone, Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D etc... I need to be able to have all the Members that are in certain cities displayed in it's own worksheet. I have played with the aggregate function, if and functions,... and I am dying. This is for a motorcycle club to keep track of who has ordered what, how much they owe, how much they've spent etc.

I am using Windows XP and Excel 2003. The filename I want to open is called "MMO Activity Report 25-09-06.xls". Part of the filename as "MMO Activity Report" will never change but "dd-mm-yy" will change constantly. I want it to show in active worksheet cell A1 in format YYYY.MM.DD ie. 2006.09.25. I type in Sheet1, cell A1 as "=filedate()" but it shows me "#VALUE!"
Function filedate()
Application.Volatile
Filename = Mid(Right( ActiveWorkbook.Name, 21), 1, 9)
filedate = Format(DateValue(Mid(Filename, 1, 2) & "-1-" & Mid(Filename, 4, 2) & "-1-" & Mid(Filename, 7, 2)), "yyyy.mm.dd")
End Function

I have attached a workbook.
I have a calculated value in H2. This value will correspond to values in the table provided. This value is dynamic and will change based on criteria that will be added.
The value H2 is a combination of to "letters" D1 and A2 or A4 and B1 i.e. trace back where the intersection of H2 occurs within the table
In Cells A8 and A9 I am trying to represent which combination of letters will result in an intersection of the value H2. In the example provided it is C and A.
What i would like to do is have Cells A8 and A9 be more dynamic. So if for example the value in H2 changed to say R12,06 then the intersection would be B and B. Therefore Cell A8 = B and Cell A9 = B
The formula is cell A8 and A9 doesn't cater for this as the range is fixed. I need a dynamic range for the index and match function based on the where the intersection of H2 happens to be in the table.

I have an excel workbook with a dynamic dependent drop down list setup, works a treat on the first worksheet i set it up on.
However here's the problem, my workbook contains a good handful of worksheets each named to reflect the certificate on the page, i need the drop down list to work on each tab. problem is when i setup the index/match function it requires a specific sheet name to make it work i.e.
=INDEX(Table1,0,MATCH(PI!$C20,Table1[#Headers],0))
However what i need it to do is reference the worksheet name, as new ones get added and names may change, something like
=INDEX(Table1,0,MATCH(&ActiveSheet.Name&$C20,Table1[#Headers],0))
However this doesn't work, i do have a cell on each page that holds the Sheet name using the function:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)
But I cant even get it to use that cell as a reference in my formula.

I am creating a formula - that will look up a value within a seperate workbook. I want the workbook reference to change based on a cell which contains the date.
So workbook name is "Report 120309.xls"
Cell: A1 contains the date "120309"
Current formula ='[Report 120309.xls]Sheet 1'!$F$50. Can I replace the data within the formula with the date in the cell.

I have the same report, one a monday snapshot, the other a daily comparison. I would like to index columns B, in both reports, to find the same part number and then reference the horizontal row and highlight increases in columns G thru AD. The comparison report looks identical but the column B numbers may not be in the same location. this is a report to show prosduction requirements and the increases throughout the week.

I have a spreadsheet with columns A to X.
There are about five variables which, when entered, should format the row their on. For example, if I select "Waiting List" from a dropdown in column A, the row is formatted to have a blue fill.
I'm currently using this code:
VB:
Sub waiting()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("Applications")
sh.Range("A1:X1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="Waiting List"
sh.Range("A2:X2" & sh.Cells(sh.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 37
sh.ShowAllData
End Sub
I have five such macros.
The problem I am having is that when there is no entry for the macro to work on, it just formats rows 2-21 anyway, and overwrites any other formatting.
I have attached my workbook so you can take a look and see what I mean. Firstly, select "Waiting List" in cell B2, then run the macro "waiting". It should work fine.
Then, delete the content of B2, and run the macro again.

I'm looking for a way to apply conditional formatting to a dynamic range, as the number of rows will vary each week.
Col A could be used as a reference, as it will always have a number in it, but wherever it stops is where I would need the conditionally formatted range to cut-off as well.
The actual range that would need formatting applied to it is Columns F-I where:
For any values < 1.00 (it should also cover blanks, which should be treated as zeros), red highlighting is applied & For any text that reads "Flagged" or "Not Reported", they would need to become bold
Additionally, I would like to start the formatting on Row 2 of the sheet in question, named "1010version"

I have a workbook with a menu and 122 sheets holding detail for unique item (product model).
On the menu there is an index of the sheet names which was hand typed. However, the sheet names change as models evolve/get replaced.
I've written a small macro to put the sheet name in cell J1 of each sheet.
[Code] ......
On my menu page i was hoping to do something like this:
A B
Index NAME
2 =sheet[A2].$J$1
3 =sheet[A3].$J$1
That way i could just drag this down and my index list would complete itself and would dynamically update as sheet names change....

I have been working on this 2 weeks and have finally come to the conclusion. I am trying to use index/match to find an article number in any 1 of 3 attribute files workbooks. I have been am using Vlookup, but the Master attribute file workbooks DO NOT list the article number in column A (but list them in F) and therefore I have been creating an altered copy every month to place the article numbers in column A so VLOOKUP would work. Index/Match would be a more efficient look up formula as I could link directly to the Master Attribute files without altering the workbooks.
Below is the formula I have been using that looks in 2 attribute files workbooks
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[TireAttributes.xlsx]TireAttributes'!A:C,2,FALSE)),
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes'!A:D,2,FALSE)),"",
(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes'!A:D,2,FALSE))),
(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[TireAttributes.xlsx]TireAttributes'!A:C,2,FALSE)))
Below are the three (the new formula would incorporate a 3rd attributes workbook "Other" to the search criteria) Index/Match formulas I would like to "Tie" together to find the article number in any of the 3 attribute files workbooks and return column A if the article number is present or nothing if the article number is not present in any of the 3.
=INDEX('C:JDAAttributeFiles[OtherAttributes.xls]OtherAttributes'!A:A,MATCH(A8,
'C:JDAAttributeFiles[OtherAttributes.xls]OtherAttributes'!F:F,0))
=INDEX('C:JDAAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes

I have sheet1 along with three columns as below
Result column will show the result after sum ** column A & B
[Code] ......
This is simple that i will add this formula =A2+B2 in Result column cell C2.
But i want to perform this addition action on Sheet2 and return the result in column C2 ** Sheet1.
What formula should be populate in Result column ** Sheet1 that could catch addition formula from Sheet2 dynamically and display the result ** column A & B in Sheet1 .
And what type ** formula should be use in Sheet2 to add two columns dynamically.
The same concept that we are using in any functions like as below:
Sub Function Plus (value1 As Double, value2 As Double)
Plus = (value1 + value)

I am using:
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

I have 1 workbook which summerizes 3 other workbooks. My question is, is there a way that if I hide a column(s) in 1 workbook (by either using Hide or Outline), the corresponding column(s) will also automatically be hidden in the Summery workbook?
Or, is there a way that I can make the Summery Workbook only display / Link to cells that is been displayed in the source workbooks? I hope to do this dynamically, so if something is hidden by Outline or Hide in one of the workbook, the affected cells in the Summary workbook will also go in hiding.
I am hoping to do this by some magical Excel Function, if not then by VBA (I'm not that good a VBA programmer), if not even that, then maybe some free Excel Tool someone knows?

I am facing a problem in using a dynamic range(name) defined in a different workbook, when that workbook in not open. I have defined a dynamic range, 'complete' , in Main Assumptions.xls as shown below
= offset( sheet1!$A$16, 0,0, counta(sheet1!$A:$A)-6, 5)
I am trying to use 'complete' in another workbook, RCL.xls, as shown below.
=VLOOKUP(C11, 'C:Chein[Main Assumptions.xls]Sheet1'!complete,5)
This works well as long as Main Assumputions.xls and RCL.xls are open. However, When Main Assumptions.xls is closed and I try to open RCL.xls, I get a warning saying, Excel can't find 'complete' in Main Assumptions.xls. There are two possible reasons: 1. the name you specified may not be defined. 2. The name you specified is defined as as something other than a rectangular cell reference. Does that mean that I can't use dynamic ranges defined, in other workbooks?

I have a variety of different order forms in workbooks titled IT1314-0001, IT1314-0002, IT1314-0003...etc... They're all stored in the same location, but they need to be on different workbooks as each workbook is sent as an order form to a different organization, for that organization to fill in. All of the order forms have the same layout, but the user will input different information onto them.
In a summary workbook of all of these Order Forms, I need to be able to drag down an INDEX formula, such that the INDEX looks in a different workbook (the next workbook in the sequence) with each row. As you go down the rows, it should look like;
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0001.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0002.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0003.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0004.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
Can this be done without VBA?

is to have a folder where I drop multiple workbooks from different stores. There can be 1 or more workbooks at any given time in that folder. Each workbook is a different size as far as the information inside. Next I need to transfer certain columns to the Master Workbook and also have the store location added to the Master workbook (File Name). I have highlighted the store information that needs to be merged to the master, Store 1, Store 2. For reference I have attached a copy of the Main Folder which is on my desktop C:Documents and SettingsDesktopInventory.

i have this code that could extract out Data from many closed workbook. I am extracting data from 2-3 thousand files and the Data in those files are rather dynamically positioned.
For e.g. My vba codings will extract data from cell B256 of the closed workbook.
Sometimes, the data might not start from that cell which my vba would still extract that non-relevant data.
Is there anyway i can modify the codings to search for the required data and extract instead of extracting it dumbly?
Sub getINFO()
Dim lCount As Long

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 a weekly report which lists items and their available date. This list is always changing - new items added, old items removed. These items are required for 4 different projects and the item listed says which project the item date is for. There is also the same item across different projects which also have different dates which also appear and disappear each week depending on requirements.
I want to be able to capture the date for each of the items per project per week. Ultimately, I want to be able to track the movement of the date per item per project. I have attached a sample of how I want it to do.

I have a financial dataset which I need to "clean" before manipulating/analysing.
Each row of the data represents a completed transaction and the first step is to delete rows that are done with particular (internal) clients; the client data (the client's name) is in Column D.
Currently, I delete the unwanted data by autofilter and delete (code below), however this means the clients to be deleted are only defined within the code. I would prefer to have a worksheet within the workbook where the user defines the clients by adding or subtracting their name from a list.
I have created a dynamic range for the client list by inserting a Named variable along the lines of "=OFFSET(!$B$3,1,0,COUNTA($B$3:$B$200)-1," which works fine.
However how do I work this list into my code so that it works when new clients are added or deleted?
Current code for deleting unwanted client data:
Sub filterdelete()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
With Range(Range("D1"), Range("D" & LastRow))

I have a few thousand files that I'm trying to hyperlink into excel. The files are named with a date at the end of it. I want to be able to hyperlink to that file just by looking up the name without the date portion. So basically I'm asking if I could hyperlink a file with only a part of the name, and yes the names are distinct even without the date. I now am loading all of the file names into a spread sheet via a VBA code, however with almost 10k files that process takes longer than I'd like.

I'm looking for some way to some the red cells without looping.
In this example the array was filled with A1:A10 values.
In the real situation the array gets its values from other source than a Worksheet Range.
As you can see I manged to transport the Array Values to F1:F10 and from here I could calculate the sum of F3:F8 but I do not want to use any helper columns.
