Using Selected Cell Instead Of Typing Input Into Vlookup?

Jan 26, 2009

Is it possible to click on a cell and use the cell info as the input data for a search instead of typing data into a cell for a vlookup?

For example, I have a spreadsheet with numbers corresponding to stock codes. Would it be posible to just click on the stock number to return the information on the stock (levels, sizes etc...) instead of typing the stock code in for a vlookup calculation.

Protect Some Cells Of A Spreadsheet From User Input (by Typing Only),

Mar 15, 2009

Is there a way to protect some cells of a spreadsheet from user input (by typing only), yet letting button controls and VBA macros modify the values of those cells?

I need to prevent users from accidentally deleting formulas or values generated by VBA macros or controls, although they may delete values in some cells.

Multiply By Info In Different Columns - Selected By Input In Cell

Mar 19, 2014

I'm trying to make a sheet to calculate my taxes. I would like to keep tax rates from previous year(s), and have them applied based on which year I input in a cell..

Let say that in cell B1 I write year 2013

In cell G1 I have year 2013 and in cells G2:G7 I have tax rates from year 2013.
In cell H1 I have year 2014 and in cells H2:H7 tax rates from year 2014

In cell B17 to B20 I would like to make a formula that multiplies cell B11 or B12 with information found in either column G or H based on input in B1.

I have attached a spread sheet as example.

I know I can make a formula based on IF(B1=2013;G*;IF(B2=2014;H*;etc..

VLOOKUP And Identifying Column Index With An Input Cell

Dec 1, 2009

Is there a way to reference a cell value instead of using a static value for col_index_num? For example - Instead of telling it to look in the 5th column of Sheet2, I would like it to look in the column were the heading (row 2) in Sheet2 is equal to the value of O2 in Sheet1.

Here's another example -

Normal formula: VLOOKUP(a2,Sheet2,5,FALSE)

What I'd like: VLOOKUP(a2,Sheet2,column where row 2 equals the value in 'Sheet1'!O2, FALSE)

Referencing Cell Based On User Input That Corresponds To VLookup

Jun 26, 2014

So my issue this time is that I have a bunch of columns that correspond to a month. If the user wants to view data from that month column then they have to link to that cell specifically (the worksheet being used is different than the one in which the month columns are)

My goal was to create a single cell in which the user typed in a month abbreviation such as jan, feb, mar.. so on and so forth. From there they correspond to a vlookup table which tells you which month is in what column (because that part never changes) so jan is in column c and feb is in column d... continuing until december is in column n. So the vlookup corresponds to the table and that works fine, type jan into the cell and the vlookup returns c. So i think this will work.

My problem is that in the cell I am typing this in I want it to be a part of a whole cell reference such as c5 or d7 where the 5 or 7 is a constant (I have that part down) however the reference is to another sheet. So in sheet 2 I want to reference sheet 1 i.e.

Formula: [Code].....

<-- is the desired return.

Right now (in sheet 2) I have

Formula: [Select Code] .....

Which returns the desired d5 but as text and not referencing sheet one. I tried

Formula: [Code]....

But this makes the vlookup malfunction (i think it starts looking in sheet 1 for the month cell but it is not and can not be there.

SO how do i force a vlookup to turn into a cell reference, and how do i make that cell reference come from a different worksheet without causing the vlookup to malfunction.

Count Selected Rows In Sheet (and Use As Input Parameter)

Dec 4, 2009

I have a macro that adds a row with predefined formulas and formating. The macro is launched by clicking on a button. However, I would like to make it possible to add more than one row at a time. My plan to do this was to use the number of selected row as input to the current macro. If the user selects row 1,2,3 and 4 (or 15, 16, 17 and 18, and so on) four new rows should be added. I would just add;

User Input Returns Selected Form Output

Dec 29, 2013

Have a person Input an Assembly Number and,Have Excel return a list of Part Numbers, their Descriptions, and a Quantity for each Part Number that will need to be packaged with the Assembly Number that was Input.

The output needs to be in the form of a check sheet (I can play with the formatting if I can get the information out) for the one Assembly Number input.The output can either be in a separate spreadsheet or a User Form. The spreadsheet is easier for me to work with but the User Form looks cooler.

I can use a VBA Function to Input the Assembly Number but then I need some way of searching a small table (about 20x20 cells) to find the matching Assembly Number and then return the Part Numbers, etc. to a check sheet so the parts can be packaged. Each Assembly Number can have several Part Numbers associated with it. Either unique to that Assembly Number or common to other Assembly Numbers. The Quantities can also be unique or common. A couple of simple examples might be:

Assembly Number - ANA0134
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 2
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4

Assembly Number - ANA0431
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 3
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4
ANC0023 Plain Widget 1

Auto Jump To The Immediate Right Cell After Typing Any No

Dec 5, 2007

is it possible to create in Excel something similar to the text box you have when you enter the product key on the text boxes?

like for example, when you need to type 1997 as your id.
when you typed "1" in A1, cursor will automatically move to B1.
when you typed "9" in B1, cursor will automatically move to C1...
and so on..

thus, user that fill in the form does not need to press enter, or right arrow key when inputting their id.

Adding Data By Row Based On Typing In Cell Contained In Row

Mar 10, 2009

I've built (but not completed) a spreadsheet used to organize multiple Bill of Material lists. This list is a row-by row list of products with information relating to a specific part number including: Mfg, Part#, Qty Used, Cost Ea, Vendor, among many more.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish first. As this list grows, my intension is the be able to recall a row of data (or control what columns of the row are recalled) from this list and be able to easily add them to the list. I would like to be able to do this by typing in data in one cell in the row (like the Part#), and then have a macro or VB code that will automatically fill in a defined number of columns with the descriptive data like: Mfg, Cost Ea, Vendor, etc.

Currently, the data for the rows (if it already exists) would reside higher up in the list on the same worksheet but could also potentially be on another tab in the workbook.

By Typing Specific Text Into Cell A1, It Will Know What Goes In Cell B1

Apr 3, 2008

I am creating a spreadsheet that when I type the product series in cell A1, it will automatically know to enter the corresponding catalog # into cell B1. I will be doing this for hundreds of product series.

For Example:

If I type AEP into cell A1, the worksheet will automatically enter #123 into cell B1,

If I type DEB into cell A2, the worksheet will automatically enter #458 into cell B2,

and so on...

I understand that I will have to create a master list with what series goes with each catalog #, but I am not to sure where to go from there?

Formula Must Ignore Typing A Letter In A 24hr Format Cell!?

Oct 15, 2009

Well following on from my question earlier, I am still playing with my timesheet/rota I'm developing.

I have a start time and an end time, which is formatted as hh:mm then an hours cell which adds them up for you.

BUT if someone is on a rest day or a holiday day or a sick day etc, I would like them to be able to type that in without the cell that adds the hours up going doo laly!!!!! (######)

So, is there anyway they can type say 'R' and then getting the hours total cell to ignore it because it isn't a time?

Input Box To Create And Input Info Into A Formula Which Then Populates A Cell With A Value

Jul 24, 2014

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:

Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)

Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:

=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10

So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.

Elseif Statement In Vba: If The Selected Cell Falls Between 1/01/06 And 31/01/06 Then Jan Would Be Selected

Oct 10, 2006

Basically it is a if statement saying that if the selected cell falls between 1/01/06 and 31/01/06 then Jan would be selected. The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.

Sub test()
Dim SelectDate As Range
Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate")
If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then
ActiveSheet. PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _
"Jan"
ElseIf selectedDate >= 1 / 2 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 28 / 2 / 2006 Then

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _
"Feb"........................

Condtional Vlookup (manually Input A Value)

Feb 11, 2009

In one tab, I have a huge data set as follows:

account --- account(1) --- value
111111 --- b5 --- 123456
111111 --- a2 --- 32156
111111 --- c5 --- 31221
111111 --- e7 --- 1121312
222222 --- b5 --- 5464
222222 --- c1 --- 887895
333333 --- d4 --- 45454646

in another tab, I want to be able to manually input a value, in this case account, (1111 for example) and have it return all the values in account(1) (in this case b5, a2, c5, e7). Once I have that, I can do a vlookup to get the "value" which is what i need, but I just can't quite seem to get it to do the first part - I input account and it returns all account(1) values.

Input Text In Given Cell After Any Input In An Area

Feb 28, 2007

I am just starting to get my feet a little damp with VBA and I am trying to make a macro that will act whenever any text is entered in any cell within a 3x3 square. Whenever any text is entered in any of those cells I would like it to enter a text ( "X" ) in a cell which is specified by a cell in the spreadsheet (this cell will output which cell the macro should write the text in in this format "A:1" or "C:3"). How can I make the program act only in reaction to the user entering thier text, and also, how can I get the macro to read A:1 and enter the text into that specific cell? Any help would be so awesome, the book I have is really difficult to navigate.
