Using Link Formula And Concatenation
Apr 21, 2012
I have a formula in the target workbook in cell C3 =-'data.xls!'np2011'
However, when UI copy the formula to D3 , the formula remains as =-'data.xls!'np2011'
2011 after np is the year. The names in the source workbook have been named np2011, np2010, np2009 etc
np2011 is a range name in the source workbook. When I copy the formula to d3, it should change to -'data.xls!'np2010'
In the target workbook I have the years in cells C1 to L1. How can I get the formula to change when copying/ Alternatively can one concatenate the range name to C1 for eg such as ="-'data.xls!'np&c1&"' I have tried to do this, but cannot get it to work.

I have the following in VBA:
Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=mod_a1&"" ""&mod_b1&"" ""&mod_c1&"" ""&mod_d1&"" ""&mod_e1&"" ""&mod_f1&"" ""&mod_f1&"" ""&mod_g1&"" ""&mod_h1&"" ""&TEXT(mod_i1,""m/dd/yyyy"")&"" ""&mod_j1&"" ""&TEXT(mod_k1,""h:mm:ss"")"
I only want the user to see the string, not the concatenation formula. So how do I get VBA to turn this formula into an actual string.
I have seen some functions using ByVal and Evaluate with this sort of thing but this is just different enough that I can't figure it out.

How would I modify this concatenation formula:
Code:
=concatenate(A2&" "&B2)
I would like it not to put a space in if A2 is blank.

I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?

This is my formula with concatenation: =K3/K1*100 & "c" & " Each"
This is the result of the values in K3 divided by K1: 6.41666666666667c Each
I would like to limit the decimal places to two: 6.41c Each.
I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.
If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.

I’m working on quite huge spreadsheets. The same formula will be used on more than 30 sheets.
So far if I have to change the formula in one cell I have to go to each sheet and change it manually (which is quite boring and time consuming).
I’m wondering if it’s possible to reference all the formulas on the sheet to one sheet (which some kind of a master sheet with all the formulas).
I can copy the formula with the “Past Special” function but the function is not updating if I change the formula on the main sheet.
So is it possible to link it and that it’ll be updated automatically when I’m changing the formula on the main sheet?

I've created a spreadsheet that I use to calculate weights of steel members for my job for estimate purposes. I'm trying to figure out how to save some time by not having to enter/copy/paste formulas every time I do takeoff for an estimate.
The bold green cells in column K are always linked to the yellow "Part Heading" above in Column A. As I do my estimates, I copy and paste a "Part Heading" with a "PL/Member" formula below for the next piece I'm working on. Every time I paste a new "Part Heading" with a "PL/Member" formula, I must change the formula in Column K to link to the next cell up in column A with a value present. In the screen shot, cell K/90-K/96 are linked to cell A/89. Cell K/83-K/87 are dependent cell A/82; K/74-K/80 are dependent on cell A/73, and so forth. Since each "Part" varies on total number of "Members", I can't seem to write a formula that will stick when copying and pasting.
My question is: Is there a way that I can automatically link each cell in Column K to the next cell up in Column A with a value present?

Within my spreadsheet all the formulae are sums of cell references from 7 other documents. I now don't need one of the documents and therefore want to remove just that one link only from the formula. I would do it manually but I have hundreds to change! I have tried breaking the link to that one document but that removes the entire formula.

I created a summary page for some reports I do and I'm having trouble keeping them linked together as my original data has rows deleted and inserted. There are 30 spreadsheets worth of information and I have them linked to a summary file. Each month I insert a new tab to each spreadsheet. I set up all of the formulas last month but see a problem this month when I copy and past the formulas to the new tab. On the 30 spreadsheets my data moves up and down so the row referenced in the summary formula is wrong. I am looking at having to type "=, click on original spreadsheet, select cell, enter, repeat" all over again. I pull 5 numbers from each sheet, and have multiple formulas to double check the math so I would be repeating this process over 300 times.
After all that, my question is...Is there a formula I can use that will pull this for me without needing to be edited each month. One idea I thought would work is to tell the formula to equal the first cell in Column B that is in red text and I could just change the font color on the orginial spreadsheet. But, I don't know how to make a formula say that or if excel can even do that.

I have a worksheet that has data in cells A3 - J3. One value will be placed in one of the cells directly below A3-J3. Is there a way to look at the cells A4-J4 and determin what cell has the value and then preform a concatenation on that cell pluss the one directly above it.
I have included a worksheet as an example.

It's a new year, which means new tables and lists. I have a list of 450 People with a reference to their own individual file. They all receive a new file at the start of the new year that I Need to be able to reference in a new list. Here's an example
Joe Bloggs has a cell next to his Name referencing
[Code] .....
In 2014 Joe will have 'Bloggs 2014.xls' as will 449 of his friends, each named individually. The only part that changes from 2013 to 2014 is the date in the Name of the file. Can I somehow just Change that one part of the link without having to manually relink everything?

I have one list in one sheet that is source for the userform and combobox used on another sheet. With userform I make a choice and data is entered in one cell.
But is it possible to compare the choice that I make in combobox with the list on the first sheet and then make a simple link between these two cells, so that cell in the second sheet is always showing what is in the cell on the first sheet.
Reason for this is that items on the list on the first sheet sometimes change and I need to update the second sheet automatically.
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
With Sheets("Presentation").Range("V18:V32")
Set c = . Find(cbochange.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = firstAddress
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Unload Me
End Sub

i have this issue, i named column J. now it says instead of using Social Security numbers as a unique identifier, they are considering using an ID of the first 3 letters of the last name (L Name) followed by the first letter of the first name (F Name). If the last name is fewer than 3 characters, the letter Z replaces each missing character.

I have two columns that consist of strings that I want to combine in a certain way. The first column has a string that consist of numbers and letters and the second column just has 3 letter codes. What I want to do is get rid of the letters in the numbers string and then add the 3 letter code on to the end of the numbers, and have this placed in a seperate column. For example: if column 1 contains "12F51Q" and column 2 contains "ABC" then the result would be "1251 ABC". Is this possible??

I have a table with 6 columns (with headers A -F) and 10 rows. There are values in each cell. I want to take a value from each of the 6 columns and concatinate them. I would like some code that would generate every possible resulting string and I would like the possiblities set out in one column.
Apart from the fact that it might be tricky enough to produce the code , by my calculations there will be 10 to the power of 6 possibilities and as far as I know there are only 65000 rows in my version of Excel. If they had to be put into 2 or 3 columns I would not mind

I've got a series of dates and times, each in a different cell, all in a row, and it looks like this:
19 Jun 07 17:30Z UNTIL 21 Jun 07 01:30Z
And I have a formula that says
=CONCATENATE("VALID TIME", E23,H23,J23,K23,N23)
However the result of the formula looks like
VALID TIME377900.729166666666666UNTIL377920.0625
Now this looks to me like something wrong with the formatting of the cell that has the formula, but I've tried different format with numbers, dats, times, text, etc and nothing reaclly changes.

I need to reverse concatenate a column of addresses, but text to columns won't work. I'd like to have a formula that takes into account each of the following scenarios (basically any standard address you can think of):
102 Bart St
104 Homer Simpson Ave
106 US HWY BSN 805 W
108 N Springfield Rd
What I need is to have the result in four columns. The first field would the house number. The second column would be the prefix (direction) of the street name, IF PRESENT (so the first three examples would have no value in the second column, but the fourth one would have an "N". The FOURTH column would have the suffix, whether that is a street type (like Rd or Ave), or a post-directional like in the third example ("W"). The THIRD column would have everything else (whatever is between the prefix and the suffix). In other words, using the examples above (* indicating a new column):
102**Bart*St
104**Homer Simpson*Ave
106**US HWY BSN 805*W
108*N*Springfield*Rd

I'm tring to concatenate the contents of column C with column H - the results to appear in column R. It will be an unknown and ever changing amount of rows.
I believe that it's the value for field 'NewField' that's causing most problems, but it could be other stuff.
Dim I As Integer
Dim LastRow As Integer
Dim NewField As String
LastRow = ActiveSheet. Range("A4").End(xlDown).Row
For I = 4 To LastRow
NewField = ("R" & First)
NewField.Value = (("C" & First) & ("H" & First))
Next I

Im looking to insert a formula in vba code that inserts the formula from a closed workbook to the active cell. At the moment i have this as an example of what i need:
VB:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='[SRS 5FFBEP.xlsm]7%'!RC"
However the file part in square brackets [SRS 5FFBEP.xlsm] and tab 7% i would like to replace with a link to a cell reference that contains the file path as this needs to change and update so i would end up something like this:
VB:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=('" & Workbooks(Worksheets("SRS Files").Range("d29")).Worksheets("SRS Import").Range("c10") & "'!RC)
Note that cell Worksheets("SRS Files").Range("d29") contains the full file path (in text format) and Worksheets("SRS Import").Range("c10") is the link to the tab that reads the 7% (in text format).
As it stands the first set of code works fine however i need it to be able to change as previously stated. So what i need is to replace the file name and tab with cell references

I'm creating a spreadsheet which will have a grid of hundreds of check boxes (used to record progress on a project). In order to use the value of the check box in calculations, I'm linking each checkbox with another cell. So, if the checkbox is in cell F10, then i might link it with cell AF10, which is where the TRUE and FALSE indicators are.
If I copy the last row (which has checkboxes--let's call it row 99), and copy it below to expand the grid, the check boxes in the new row are still linked with row 99 cells (i.e., all the new check boxes in column F are still linked with AF99). So, presently I'm having to go through and manually re-link each pasted check box to a new cell.
Is there a way, using something along the lines of the INDIRECT function, where I can have a formula dictating what cell each checkbox is linked with, so that when I copy and paste a large number of these, they automatically point to the new cell (such that, F99's check box points to AF99, but if I copy this F99 check box into cell F115, then it would automatically be linked with cell AF115)?

If I have a two files called test1.xls and test2.xls for example. Is it possible to link test1.xls to test2.xls by putting the filename in a cell?
i.e. In test2 put the filename in say A1 and in the link put the path and instead of naming the file you want to link to put in A1 instead.
I know it doesn't work if you do it that way I was just wondering if there was a way to do it.

Not sure if anybody has been succesful or not in the following but I am writing a macro to check that each hyperlink in my report is operational. My situation is as follows:
Cell A1 has the following hyperlink formula: =hyperlink(Worksheet1!B1,Worksheet1!B2)
I am attempting a workaround to capture the cell reference (B1) where the path and filename is stored and directing the macro to open the link. But when I try to send the hyperlink formula (Cell A1) to a string variable in vba, the result is the contents of Worksheet1!B2 instead of the entire formula.

I have a problem that may be a little bit diff. from must of the Readonly post that I have found here. Most people would like to have all of there files opened as readonly files, but I don't in this case. I am copying a number of files that has VBA code in just about all of them. I am using a CD writer to copy the files to a CD using Windows Explorer and that is working just great, No problem copying the files.
My problems comes in when I copy the files from the CD to another computer, all of the files are Readonly files on the new PC. I have not saved them as readonly and don't want them to be readonly files. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening what I need to check or change to get the files to another computer without being a readonly file.
