I have a problem in getting VLOOKUP to evaluate consistently. It is best understood from the screenshot linked (Office 2010), where cells B3 and B4 are not showing the expected values. I wanted to upload the excel file, but cannot see the option to do it.
The screenshot is at Book2 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
This is just a small segment of the big excel sheet.
I have two short macros, shown below. The first changes the font color of the cells in named range BackgroundFont1 to the background color of the cells. The second macro turns the font color in these cells back to black.
I call these subs in other macros. The first one works all the time. The second one works only occasionally - more often than not it just hangs up Excel entirely and shuts down the program. It happens even if I just run the BlackFont macro on its own.
The error message I get at times is "Method color of Object Font failed".
Macro 1
Code:
Sub BackgroundFont1()
For Each cell In Range("BackgroundFont1")
cell.Font.Color = cell.Interior.Color
Next cell
End Sub
Macro 2
Code:
Sub BlackFont()
For Each cell In Range("BackgroundFont1")
cell.Font.Color = vbBlack
Next cell
End Sub
These are the cells in the ranged named BackgroundFont1.
Code:
=Demo!$JY$581:$KI$590,Demo!$JY$599:$KI$602,
Demo!$JY$612:$KI$615,Demo!$JY$624:$KI$625,

Is it possible, when user types for example "1+1" in cell A1, to calculate this sum in cell A2?
So I would have "1+1" in A1 and "2" in A2.
I cant figure out why this "evaluate" function is not working as I expected. I have number/text from $A$1 to $A$5 to try and learn how to use this function but have not had any luck. I need to learn how to use it properly so I can use a for loop to change multiple check boxes on a user form that I am trying to make.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI cannot figure it out for the life of me. When I type a formula into a cell it will not evaluate, instead it just displays the text of the formula.

It tells me that "the cell currently being evaluated contains a constant."
What do I need to change so that cells will evalute formulas I put into the?
Need the syntax for using a checkbox in a col. ?

Does it simply evaluate to val. of cell to either 'Y' or 'N' ?
I want to do it evaluate each row and if the last value for that row is X, then highlight that cell and the Server name for that row.
I have used conditional formatting but it seems that I cannot specify an option to look at the last cell in a row, evaluate that cell's value and then apply the formatting. I can only have conditional formatting highlight every cell in that row that matches the condition.
I only want the last cell, which represents the most current data, to be highlighted, as well as the category name, if the condition is met.
I have two sets of information, on one hand I have telephone numbers and in the other set I have prefixes and countries. My goal is to tell to which country each number belongs:
i.e.
Numbers Prefix Country
4476324125 44 UK
3354326544 33 France
9713425432 971 UAE
9143253245 91 India
1343543253 1 USA
4432412412
4924241214
7431242424
So I would need to add a column next to "Numbers" saying to which country each number belongs.
My list has a few thousand numbers and a couple of hundred prefixes.
I tried with some array formula, but cannot make it work.
Example numbers:
21130 & 21065
I want to check each number if EITHER of the two conditions is true:
1. if the third digit from the right (the hundreth place) is greater than zero;
or
2. if the second digit from the right (the tens place) is >=6.
If either is true I want to add a particular number to the original number.
My example numbers meet questions 1 & 2, respectively.
I have to run an Evaluate function which is linked to an Array formula, but when I try just to put =ev(), the Array Formula which is located in another cell, does not run properly.

If I copy "mysum" contents to a cell and replace "lista" with a defined list, it works just fine. But whenever I run this code, it gives me syntax error.

Ok, this should be an easy one. I have a formula that one of the functions needs to check if certain cells are blank.
For example; I want to check if A2, B2 and C2 are blank.
Currently, the only thing that seems to work is,=IF(OR(ISBLANNK(A2),ISBLANK(B2),ISBLANK(C2)),"PASS","FAIL")
This is just a piece part of the entire formula and I have to evaluate the data based on multiple criteria. The ISBLANK() portion has to be able to evaluate at least 15 cells. Is there a way to evaluate the cells all at once instead of typing out ISBLANK() over and over. I have tried everything I can think of in regards to syntax.
I cant see the wood for the trees! I have this formulae which works just how I want
ACO2 = Evaluate("= SumProduct((K2:K3=""Closed"") * (EG2:EG3=""06-15 Days""))")
However when I change this to a dynamic range I keep getting a syntax error. Can anyone see where I have gone wrong? I know its probably only a " or an ) out of place but its driving me mad!!!
ACO2 = Evaluate("=SumProduct(((Range("K2:K" & Lrow)=""Closed"") * ((Range("EG2:EG" & Lrow)=""60 Days+""))")
AC02 is an integer, as is Lrow (its a simple loop which works out how many rows there are).
I have 2 sheets (book1.xls and book2.xls) book1 has over 20 sheets and has my primary data. Book2 is for a report. The report I want to only display one sheet at a time, by me typing in which sheet to access.
What I want to have:
A2 = Sheet Name
C2 = ="'C:Excelfiles[book1.xls]"&$A$2&"'!$B$1" C2 should have the value from B1 on 'Sheet Name' from the file book1.xls
however, all C2 will display is the text, I cannot get it to actually do the reference. (appears as 'C:Excelfiles[book1.xls]Sheet Name'!$B$1 )
Is there a function to say, evaluate data output from another cell?
(less complicated example)
A1=1
A2=2
A3=A1+A2
A4=3 (formula to evaluate output of A3)
I am trying to perform a count statement in VBA as below, with the 1st Evaluate I get the correct response, however with the second option it shows a 0. The variable is obtaining the correct values as per the example of 6017Complete, this is proven with the MsgBox
VB:
Dim TillNo As String
TillNo = Target.Offset(, -1) & Target.Offset(, 0) & "Complete"
MsgBox "Till Number is" & TillNo
Target.Offset(, 10) = Evaluate("COUNTIF(C3:C123,""6017Complete"")")
Target.Offset(, 11) = Evaluate("COUNTIF(C3:C123,TillNo)")
can I put formula to cells on relative basis?
For instance can I write "=A1 + B1" and have a change event the formula populate for the corresponding column that changes? such that a change in C7 for instance populated the result of the formula for A7 + B7 in cell D7?
I have a ss that has item descriptions, quantities and pricing.
Item descriptions are identified by a letter (a, b, c, etc) and in cells C20:c32. These are selected by drop down box. Item quantities are in cells E20:E32.
I want to evaluate cells C20:C32 and determine what letter is chosen. If A is selected in any cell C20:c32 I want to count the quantities for A in cells E20:E32. I can't quite figure out how to do this.
First, I tried to input Ibs, Size, Items into a worksheet with layout.
Then, calculate how many items are they and separate them into two categories - "Big" and "Small".

Question : How can I accrue the total of items and sort them into the right categories automatically.
I am trying to use an If statement and wanting to evaluate another formula.
The formula is as follows: =IF(B6>=7,Table!M16,Table!M47) where B6 =REPLACE(D24,1,3,"") which returns an integer. In this case it is 6.
Unfortunately it doesn't process the formula value correctly in the If statement unless the reference cell is hard coded with the integer. Is there a way to force the formula to evaluate the value of the cell formaula first before doing the If comparison?
I am currently working on creating a dialogue which will allow the user to input a range of worksheets to use for a pivot table.
I want the user to be able to input a variable into the dialogue. For example, I want the input "n-5 - n-1" to mean the 6th from last to the 2nd from last sheets. I am trying to find n - ([0-9]+)? and replace it with Worksheets.Count - $1. In other words, if there are 10 sheets, I want to transform "n-5 - n-1" into "5 - 9".
Here is the code I have so far:

This has been working for strings like "n" or "n-4" but not "4 - n-3" or "n-5 - n-1".
Here is the code I use afterwards to interpret the string once the n's have been replaced:

I am trying to do this preferably not in a macro if possible. Basically I have a monthly metrics spreadsheet that pulls it's values from a data entry sheet. I setup the display sheet so that if there's no data for the month the cell is blank in order to avoid errors. So, now what I want is one cell that will update and tell me if the last month's metric was good or bad. So, I am trying to create a cell formula that will be able to find the last row with data. In this case it would be the row corresponding to September's data, then evaluate the value in that cell to see if it's above or below 90% = 0.90 in this case.

Suppose I have a table with a collection of "Top Ten" rankings for something. For example, suppose I have rankings from five "sources" for the Top Ten Ethnic Cooking. For simplicity, I'll show the top 5 here:
Rank
Source A
Source B
Source C

I'd like a way to calculate some sort of average ranking. I have two problems: (1) I don't know what the formula should be and (2) I don't know how to implement it in Excel.
I am struggling to come up with a formula that will look at one column of data to check for a condition (for example, it says 7. Implement) and then look at another column to see if a second condition is met (this one is a date ie Feb-14) and count those that meet both. The data I wish to check is on a different worksheet if that makes a difference...
