Using If Formula Across Different Workbooks
Aug 30, 2006I was just wondering if it was possible to do an If statment that looks at a cell in another workbook?

View 9 RepliesI am trying to cut and paste formula's from one workbook to another and they often have vlookup's into other sheets within the original workbook. I have renamed the sheets in the new workbook exactly the same but when I cut and paste the formula's the vlookup formula is still looking up in the old workbook. I then have to manually fix it by deleting the [old workbook] out of the formula.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIm trying to sum 16 different workbooks witha simple formula, but it exceeds the maximum character length. This is the formula I want to repeat for 16 work books:
=SUM('H:CERNTimesheets2009-2010[Adrian Nolan 2009-2010.xls]Jul'!$H$46
As you can see, half the formula is the file location! Is there anyway I can develop a formula to examine a range of workbooks in a set location? VBA looks the way to go but I dont have clue where to start! Any help greatly appreciated!
Full formula:
****** http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">****** name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">****** name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9">****** name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9"> =SUM('H:CERNTimesheets2009-2010[Adrian Nolan 2009-2010.xls]Jul'!$H$46+'H:CERNTimesheets2009-2010[Francis Markus 2009-2010.xls
I wanted to compare data entries between different versions of a protected worksheet. The results of the conditional statement [ if(test, true-result, false-result) ] always came back "0" for both paths. Any suggestion other than copying all of the data to unprotected workbooks and then running the tests?

I have two workbooks because I can't figure out a chain formula that I need to be able to use in reverse.
First workbook:
Row A1 = x
Row B1 = A1*1.25
Row C1 = B1/0.55
Row D1 = C1/0.42
Second workbook (the same formula, just reversed):
Row A1 = B1/1.25
Row B1 = C1*.55
Row C1 = D1*.42
Row D1 = x
I would essentially like to put information in either A1 or D1 and have the other 3 boxes fill out automatically; is this possible or am I stuck using two workbooks...? Would a circular formula be able to work in my case?
I have several Workbooks ( named 110807, 180807 upto 100508) which include many worksheets(Lets say named Mon, Tue, Wed etc). The format of these workbooks is identical but the numbers within are different. I also have a separate " Totals" workbook in the same folder within which I need to calculate the average of all H15 cells across the whole range of Tue worksheets but only if Cell H3 in the same Tue worksheets is >0. The problem seems to be asking for a =AVERAGE(IF formula but no joy.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in need of some VBA code to control the updating of information from 16 active workbooks to a master workbook and vise versa. I would like it on command as it slows down the use of the workbooks when they calculate after every change of data as they are being used. These workbooks are connected over a company intranet and are used 24/7.
The desire is that cells in the master workbook will read specific cells on each of the other workbooks and complete a "map display" of the data. The data is not in a column or row range side by side but scattered across the sheet to form a map when data is entered.
I've tried using code to open and close the workbook with on time events but that hasn't worked.
My question is:
I do multiple audits using excel, and would like to start a database as I put more audits into one folder. So it updates the values as I insert more audits into the folder.
My audit is a workbook which has multiple worksheets. But for each audit, it is the same worksheet with the same cell. The audit consists of yes and no questions, where you put in a x for either one. I would like to start a database, so for each question on my audit, I would have a percentage of yes or no for all my audits. For instance, question 1 , 7 out of my 10 audits, I had yes for that question.
How do I write a macro, so it counts the x's for multiple workbooks, and updates automatically for each question as I add more audits into that folder.
I have a spreadsheet with two worksheets (sheet 1 and 2). Sheet 1 has all the current employee data on it e.g. employee number, Forename, Surname, Address, Pay rate, etc. Sheet 2 was last month's employee data in the same format. I want to compare the two worksheets on worksheet 3 and highlight any changes or just put the changes on worksheet 3 (this would be better).
The problem is employees might be on different rows on each worksheet and some employees might not be on one spreadsheet due to staff leaving and starting.
Each staff member has a unique employee number to identify them. So I need a formula that matches the employee number and then looks in the cells in sheet 1 and 2 and if different puts the value in sheet 1 into the cell in sheet 3.
I am in the process of [trying] to copy/convert my 2003 workbooks to 2010 but am unable to copy any of the formula's. I get the warning window that I'm sure most are familiar with.
I have Googled this issue but can't find any information on how to successfully copy my 2003 books to 2010 without losing my formulas.
So the problem is that I have two workbooks: one has a set of identifying values which are a subset of one of the sets of values in the second and I need to match them up. In addition I need to take the values two columns to the right of the matched values in the second workbook and put them in the first.
Here is what my formula looks like now.
=IF(A5=VLOOKUP(A5,'[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!$A:$A,1,TRUE),INDEX('[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!,MATCH(A5,'[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!$A:$A,0),3),"NF")
Whenever I try to run it an error message comes up and highlights the match function name.
I am trying to write some VBA that will select a row of cells that each have links to cells in another workbook, and then either autofill the formulas down (or pastespecial them down) for 20 rows. I have that part down using either pastespecial or autofill, but -
Since the forumulas are links to another workbook, Excel wants to resolve that link to calculate the values at the time of the pastespecial or autfill. If the sourced workbook is not open, the "browse for file" popup displays. I don't want the popup to display and would rather just get the #REF in the pasted cells and let it resolve the next time the sourced workbook is open. The end result would be like clicking "cancel" to the "browse for file popup", which I'm tired of constantly doing... I would just like to skip that popup all together and get the #REF value.
I have an Excel file that contains formulas that reference external workbooks on a shared network. Each month, I copy the column of formulas over to the next month's column. Then, to update the file path, I highlight the new column and do a Find-and-Replace, swapping the previous month's name for the current month. This practice works fine. The only thing is ... the "Open File" promptbox appears for each formula where I updated the file path (i.e. and this can be hundreds instances!). I wind-up having to choose the file from the exact same file path. It is an unnecessary, and annoying extra step to take.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 25 files with certain worksheets that I need to move to 25 other files.
Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook A needs to be moved to Workbook A-2014 Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook B needs to be moved to Workbook B-2014 Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook C needs to be moved to Workbook C-2014 etc....
Is there a way to do this with a macro? Preferably I would like to do this automaticly - i.e. runing the macro from a master file that
1. Opens Workbook A copies the worksheets
2. Open Workbook A-2014 paste the sheets
3. Save and close Workbook A-2014
4. Close workbook A without saving
then doing the same for Workbook B, etc.
Basically the main workbook opens 2 files at a time performs a calculate in the main workbook and then copies and pastes information in 3 ranges. Then closes the two open workbooks and loops and performs same operations until it hits the maximum loops. My macro is as follows and I have 3 question in capital letters.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a workbook for every department which is used to make a weekly status. Each of these workbooks contains a sheet with the 'weekly statuses over time', i.e. a table showing the weekly status for the department for week 1, week 2, week 3 etc. I've attached the file to make it easier to understand what I'm talking about, see Weekly_Test. Currently I can only see the performance of each department but I would like to be able to see the total performance for all departments, i.e. have a 'Total workbook' where all the weekly statuses are summed up weekly.
In the Weekly_Test file you can see the code which is used to generate the 'weekly status' sheets (also inserted at the end of this post). All workbooks for the departments are the same, apart from the file name which is the name of the department and this does not change. The weekly status is generated in the following way:
In the sheet 'Indtastning' (data entry) you enter the data and the date. Then click 'Update'. The sheet is then copied to a new sheet with the date and all data is copied to the table in the 'his.status' sheet. Now, I would like to add some code so that when I click 'Update' the data which is copied to the table in the 'his.status' sheet is also copied to a similar table in the 'Total' workbook.
Dim indtastArk
Dim arkDato
Public Sub Opdater()
arkDato = Cells(1, 1)
OpretDatoArk
' nulStilIndtastning
overførTilStatus
End Sub
Private Sub OpretDatoArk()
Sheets("Indtastning").Activate
With ActiveSheet
.Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
End With

I am trying to do a Vlookup between 2 workbooks. I've tried a couple different ways and none seem to be working.
From the inventory workbook I need the Stator and Rotor SN's, O.D. and I.D. only for the ones that have the Status "SHOP" to come up on the Comparison Workbook.
Attached is the two workbooks.
It is quite standard to create links between workbooks, and generally I do this by inserting an "=" sign in the cell I want data to appear in for Workbook 1, I then open workbook 2 where the desired data is and click on the cell housing the data I want.
I just went to do this, and upon putting the = sign in the cell I want in workbook 1 and clicking in workbook 2 nothing happens except my cursor is now in workbook 2 and the = sign just remains alone in the workbook 1 cell.
If, however, I put an = sign in a cell in workbook on and then click another cell in that sheet or a cell in another worksheet but in the same workbook a proper link is created, so the problem seems to be isolated to links to other workbooks.
If you are working in an excel spreadsheet that is linked to other excel files, when you double click on the cell that is linked to another workbook, it immediately opens the linked workbook if your settings are correct. How do you change your settings to enable this functionality?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to link two workbooks together with the aim that when a option is selected in a drop down menu in workbook "band form", it auto populates the rest of the form with data from the second workbook "showsales2013". date, ticket price, support acts etc etc.......
as a example,the drop down in workbook "band form" is a list of bands (list data also taken from showsales2013) ive got this bit working ok (i think ), each band is playing on a different day so i have used this formula to get the "date" from "showsales2013"
=VLOOKUP(F4,[ShowSales2013.xls]Sheet1!$1:$65536,4,0)
this seems to work until i insert a new row and/or column (in the showsales wookbook - which needs doing from time to time as new bands get booked to play), then i get #REF in the date cell on the "band form blank".
i used pretty much the same formula to pull the other needed data (price/support acts etc ) from showsale2013, and the result is the same, #REF.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to open two other workbooks to copy and paste data from.
The name of the two workbooks changes each day, and the location because they are filed in subfolders.
I have the following code, which works to open the first sheet but then comes up with the following error when trying to open the second sheet. "Run-time error '1004: Excel cannot access 'Hub PVA'. The document may be read only or encrypted".
The folder is not encrypted because when I was only opening the second document with the same code, it worked.
The code I am using is:
'DECLARATION

I have Workbook A and Workbook B(csv file)
In workbook one I want to look for a unique code that is in both workbooks and if it is then return a result of the total.
As an example
WORKBOOK A

WORKBOOK B
Code qty
a0YC000000YWPE1MAP 10

What to type if it is a different workbook and not just a sheet.
I still have a problem with consolidation of workbooks.
Scenario:
I am working in HQ and at the end of each month, every branch under my care will submit an excel workbook to me. Inside this are two worksheets (worksheet 1 and worksheet 2 for convenience). Both have standard headers and rows and rows of data. Upon receipt, I will keep all these files in a folder called "Oct06" (and Nov06 etc for future mths)
Problem:
I'm not able to find an easy way to consolidate all the various worksheet 1 into one master worksheet. I need this so as to generate a pivot table. At the same time, I need to consolidate all the worksheet 2 also for the same purpose.
Copying information from various sheets from one workbook to paste into similar sheets in another workbook? It would involve switching back and forth between workbooks.
Is it possible to search all closed workbooks in a folder in a range B13:B33 for a particular word?
All closed workbooks have only 1 sheet in them this sheet is always named the same but the workbooks are named sequentially, eg 1, 2, 3 etc.
I run a number of spreadsheets each 4 week period and these are stored in a folders named after the period. ie Period 10 will contain workbookA10wk1, workbookA10wk2, workbookA10wk3 and workbookA10wk4,
Period 11 will contain the same workbooks but named workbookA11wk1 etc.
The data from the workbooks is then used in graphs / tables for each year.
I always pick up the same cell ref in each workbook to compare each week and my table is set out with heading of period and wk.
Is it possible to use the table headings to produce the names of the workbooks that you wish to reference, ie: ='Period 13[workbookA13wk1.xls]Sheet1!$D$17 to appear under Period 13, wk1
From a workbook, I need to open a further workbook called 'transfer' and then switch back to the original workbook. Presumably I need to save the current workbook name to a variable, open transfer with Workbooks.Open Filename:="c:debworkTRANSFER.xls"
then switch back to the original
How do i pass the original workbook name to a variable, and then reactivate it. I have tried numerous options but just cannot get it to work. Do i reactivate with workbook. activate or windows.activate
I'm not sure why but Excel doesn't seem to like the following.
Workbooks("Bulk Forecast.xls").Worksheets("Bulk Forecast").Range("A1:C2").Copy
