VBA To Add Sheet Reference Formula To Cell
Aug 13, 2008Im trying to copy a formula to a cell via VBA.
Range("A3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet1!A3"
Ive tried all sorts of ', ", &, combinations, I cannot find it.
Im trying to copy a formula to a cell via VBA.

After having searched for a while I can't seem to find any formula that will look at a cell for reference as to which sheet to go to and return a certain cell's contents.
For example,
in column A, I have the text "Sheet1" and in column B, I need the formula to return the contents of cell B15 from Sheet1, based upon column A.
I have Excel 2007, here's what i want to do. I've got a workbook created with several worksheets in it. I want to input the name of a project in say, cell A1 on sheet1. Then on sheet2 cell C4, I want the text I input into the afore mentioned cell to show. I know how do do this with numbers (using the autosum button), but I can't figure out how to do it with text, though it's probably very simple & I'll be embarassed when I get an answer. Following is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do if the above example is confusing.
I have a Project Cost sheet and on it I input (text) a description of a building to be constructed. The cells next to it will be the associated costs of that particular building. There will be several buildings listed on the sheet. On a Sales Figures Sheet in the same workbook, I want to list those same buildings and then their corresponding sales prices. I want these descriptions to be automatically pulled from the costs sheet, so that I only have to input the sales figures.
I have this formula in excel 2007:
=COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"1";Blad1!X:X;"H")+COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"6";Blad1!X:X;"H").
Blad is Dutch for sheet, by the way.
In this formula, I want to let the ranges in Sheet1 be dependent of values in Sheet2. The formula itself is in Sheet2.
W must be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B12 and X to be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B9.
I tried this by using the INDIRECT formula, but the quotation marks of the search values are giving errors.
I have an excel workbook that has many spreadsheets (each one sheet has a client name)I have another excel workbook that has these client names on one sheet (on a list) and next to every name I have a number (i.e total turnover of the year).
In the first workbook (where every client has his sheet (tab named after the client) I want to have a cell that equals to the sum of some cells on the other workbook, that refer to the specific client
(it looks like this ='[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$81+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$197+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$313+'[comissions NF 10-14.xls]comissions 14(auto)'!$J$429)
I want this sum to be added to every sheet of this workbook. each sheet refers to a client, so $J$81, $J$197 etc must be changed for the correct cell that refers to the name of the client. The tab names are alphabetical and so s the list.
Is there any way to do it, without re-entering the formula to each one?
need to do to the below code so that when i drag the formula down it changes the sheet number....sheet1, sheet2, sheet3 and so on but keeps the cell reference the same?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following formula in cell L51 of all sheets calculating the volume depending on the monthly index that is chosen from the drop down menu in a particular sheet. =If(MIndex=0, SUM(D33:L50),If(MIndex=1,SUM(D34:L50),If(MIndex=2,SUM(D35:L50), 0))). I am getting the following message and I do not understand what it is about.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, creating a circular reference. Try one of the following
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have this formula (which will soon be much more complex...):
=COUNTIF('dt-a'!C2:C194,'what they want for each teacher'!D1)
I would like to be able to replace the sheet names with a reference to a cell which contains the sheet names.
This is so that a user can enter the sheet name in a cell without having to modify the formulae, break the formulae, and then come running to me ranting about things not working and how computers never work properly.
I have the following formula: =IF(ISBLANK('WP'!D4), "", 'WP'!D4). where WP is the name of the sheet. I need to reference the sheet not by name, but by it's number (for example WP could be my second sheet, but tomorrow the name of my second sheet could change to WT).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several sheets, this question focuses on two sheets. 'Coded Prehospital Data' and 'Missing Pre Hospital Data', for brevity here i will refer to them as coded and missing respectively.
In coded the cells are populated using an index/match fx to another sheet and if that returns an error the fx looks to the same cell in missing for a value
Here is an example of the formula in coded cell C2:
=IF(OR(ISERROR(INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE))),
ISBLANK(INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE)))),VLOOKUP(
'Missing Pre Hospital Data'!D2,AGEUNITSCODE,2,FALSE),INDEX(MATCHAGEUNIT,MATCH(A2,MATCHCC,FALSE)))
Without having to constantly switch between sheets I would like to set up a conditional format that fills a cell in missing yellow when that cell is an error in coded.
This is what I have done to achieve this with no success:
1) Select cell C2 in missing and add rule based on formula
2) Enter =OR(ISNA('CODED PREHOSPITAL DATA'!$C2),ISBLANK('CODED PREHOSPITAL DATA'!$C2))
3) Enter the custom formatting I decided on
4) In the "Applies To" box I have done two things: 1) drag the cursor from c2 to an28 which auto fills the applied to dialogue box with 'Missing Prehospital Data'!$C$2:$AN$28 and 2) Free type in the dialogue box 'Missing Prehospital Data'!$C2:$AN28
My problem is that I need the formatting for each cell in missing to refer to its sister cell in coded but it continues to refer only to coded c2
Normally when you double-click on a formula you see its component cells highlighted.
But when I do this with a formula that uses cells from different worksheets NO cells are highlighted.
I wonder if anyone knows how to get the highlighting working for such formulas. Or is there an add-on which enables this?
If I have a cell that has as its contents as sheet name, is there anyway I can use the cell's address to reference that sheet?
As an example, say I have in Sheet1, cell A1, the text Sheet2. And let's say I want to return the value of cell B2 on whichever sheet the text of A1 says. So, on Sheet1, I might have this:
I was using the formula below which was working fine for copying across 20 columns and down however many rows, but now the requirements have changed to 90 columns. I have tested this out with the 90 columns but the Indirect function is bogging down the spreadsheet with the constant recalculating.
=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&COLUMNS($A$1:A$1)&"'!P"&ROWS($A$1:$A8)),"")
I rearranged the formula to the one below, but how can I have the reference to the sheet name changed as in the formula above without using the Indirect?
=IFERROR(INDEX('1'!$A$8:$AT$115,MATCH($A3,'1'!$A$8:$A$115,0),MATCH("PAT",'1'!$A$7:$AT$7,0)),"")
The sheet reference will change from '1' through '90'.
I need to copy a range of values from sheet 3 to sheet1. When I recorded macro, I got the below code. But, instead of RC in the 4th line <ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet2!RC"> I need to pass values like A1,A20 etc.
Since the values range & column to be copied would be varying dynamically, (say for first iteration it would be A1: A20 & for second iteration, I need to copy C1: C20.) how to pass these variables to the macro and use it instead of the static "RC". Whatever column I specify, it should copy from that <column>StartRow to that <column> EndRow.
Sub Updtval(StartRow As Integer, EndRow As Integer, f As Integer)
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet2!RC"
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A1:A6"), Type:=xlFillDefault
End Sub
Currently I have a worksheet which is organized to have two pages on it. I will try to explain, i.e. imagine one page of the worksheet in the hypothetical range of A1:D26, then another page in the range E27:K50. So it is staggered on the same sheet. Is there an easy way to copy the range of E27:K50 onto another worksheet.
Aside from the regular copy and paste, I am having problems because there are formulas in the 2nd range (E27:K50) which loose their references once copied.
i.e the formula SUM(A1:A10) I would like to be SUM('Master List'!A1:A10) on the new sheet. Is there an easier way then going through all the formulas and adding the master list part.
In Sheet2 I have a list of cell addresses showing values such as D5, D32, D59, D221, D869 stored in cells AB7:AB16. In Sheet1 the "D" column holds dates. I want to return the corresponding date for each D# cell into Sheet2 in column AC7:AC16. I'm unaware of the proper syntax for this. I though it would look something like:
='Sheet1'!('Sheet2'!(AB7))
however that doesn't work.
I'm using a macro to paste a formulae into a destination cell on another worksheet.
The problem is that I need the Macro to put the name of the active sheet into the formulae
VB:
Sheets("Front").Select
Range("E1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("E3").Select
ActiveCell.Formula=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(9E+99+306,*****ActiveSheet.Name*****!F:F,1),6,4))
The macro has to work whis way becuse I will be using it with multiple worksheets, all with different names.
I have a formula in a cell which is refered to other cell within the same sheet and also to other sheet from other file. say
C1 = A1+B1+data file c1 Data file is another file in other location.
I was trying to break a external reference link (from Data File) from Data _ Edit Link, but it is converting all the formula to value. How is it possible to break only the external link without damaging the formula within the sheet say c1 = A1+B1+26 (value from data file c1)
Attached I have a document where I am wanting all of the individual sheet names on the Total page. Rather than having to change each formula to match the sheet name I believe there is a way to reference the sheet name column (AO) in the formula so you can drag it down to fill in the columns. I am basic with Excel and do not know how to add this indirect function into my current formulas.

I'm basically looking for something almost like an inverse function to INDIRECT. This function would first look at a cell's formula as a text string, parse out the first valid cell reference in A1 format, and return that cell as a text string.
Detail: I have a spreadsheet with cells that point to other values. I would like to get only the row number from the first cell reference in the formula residing in a given cell. For example:
Suppose A1 has the formula =AL267. and A2 has the formula =SUM(AL94:AL235)
I would like a formula in B1 that returns the text string, "AL267" so that I would know this is the first reference.
Ideally it could be dragged down to B2 such that it returns the text string "AL94" (and not "AL235") because AL94 is the first cell reference in A2's
Currently I am copying the formulas after hitting ctl+` and pasting that text into a text editor, followed by text operations to manipulate the results into the desired values. Any solution that didn't involve going out to notepad.
How can this be done?
E.g. say I want to create a list of cells each referencing to the first, second, third sheet, and so on.
Say, on one sheet cell A1 references to the second sheet's A1, cell A2 references to the third sheet's A1, and so on.
Ideally I'd love to be able to write something like
=Worksheet(1)!A1
=Worksheet(2)!A1
=Worksheet(3)!A1
and so on.
Is it possible to have a sheetname reference in a cell?
A1 = "Exhibit A"
and have a formula as such?
=IF($A4"",(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($D$2,' Exhibit A'!38:38,0)),"x","")),"")
where the sheetname in bold is pulled in by a reference to cell A1?
I have an IF statment that looks at a sheet but I would like it to look at certain sheets I.E. sheet 2,4,5,6.
Sub SelectPrintArea2()
For Each ws In Worksheets
If Range("Sheet4Q5").Value > 0 Then
Range("A1:AA47").Select
ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$AA$47"
ElseIf Range("C5").Value > 0 Then
Range("A1:M47").Select
ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$M$47"
End If
Next ws
End Sub
But it will only look at the sheet it is in and not any of the other sheets. I've tried to tell it which sheets but I just get errors.
can i take reference from another sheet to formatt the cell? When i tried to format cell taking reference from another sheet, it says that you can not do that. Is it possible or not?
I'd like to be able to refer to a cell or local scope defined name within my sheet that references another sheet, or accomplish the same functionality in some way.
For example, if I have a sheet MyInformation and then another sheet MyPrintedInformation, where the printed information sheet shows MyInformation in a more printer-friendly format, I might have this in MyPrintedInformation:
a cell or defined name that says (this doesn't work, but just as an example):
let's call the named variable TheSheetToPrint
='MyInformation'. Then from within MyPrintedInformation all of my references look like this
Some cell :
=TheSheetToPrint!A2
I have a problem how to do the next:
A1 cell contains title of some test
The next cells on bottom line (B2:B10) contains the results of the this test.
On another Sheet i want to analyze those results, thus I need the results from Sheet1 be copeid to sheet2. I want just to indicate the test name (A1 location) and the rest of the cells will be copeid automatically(relative reference, relatively to A1).
I have a formula that pulls data from another sheet using standard reference of sheetname! I want to build this forumla to use several sheets, and would like to pull the sheet names from other cells.
For example... instead of LEMONS!a1 and LIMES!B2
I would like to use REF1!a1 and REF2!B2
where REF1 and REF2 are pulled from cell Z1 which contains test 'Lemons' and cell Z2 which contains text 'Limes'
How can I do this?
We have a sizeable Excel workbook that contains many worksheets for various things, everything works smoothly except for one minor niggle.
I am looking for a formula that references to a cell on a previous worksheet, the worksheet could be named anything (eg A1, B, 2, 3.4, etc). Then to add 1, ideally the first worksheet inserted must equal, say, 0 BUT can reference the sheet previous as this is a constant; so something along the lines of...
Cell A1 =magic formula
Cell A2 =A1+1
This is to get a vlookup to work consistently.
OR another option is, for the worksheet to reference an already populated worksheet and read down a table by adding one to reference the cells. Eg first sheet reads ='schedule'!A13, the next sheet added would read A14 then A15 etc...
OR a worksheet (like page numbers) count into a cell onto each worksheet inserted, eg on worksheet 6 in cell A1 the number 6 would be inserted then worksheet 7 would have 7 inserted into A1 etc..
