VLookup With Dynamic Ranges?
Feb 24, 2012
I am trying to create a vlookup to get a count of trouble tickets techs completed daily within a table I created, I am using a table since its dynamic. For example I need to see how many tickets Joe completed in a day. See below...
Tech Ticket# Comments Status
Joe 1234 Replaced HD Closed
John 3212 Replace Motherboard Closed
Joe 5678 Installed OS Closed
Above is just an example (my table has 40 columns). I need to vlookup joe and get the count of the closed tickets.

I want to create dependent lists using data validation. The lists need to be created from ranges that will be growing as users add more data. I think the best way to create the list is a VLOOKUP. However, I am not sure how to use the VLOOKUP when the range is changing.
I have attached an example. I have a list on sheet "Vlookup" called "FRUIT" with "apple", "orange", "banana". Then to make the depedent lists I have created three other lists called: "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". I want to pull the COST from sheet "VALUES" into the lists "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". Users will be adding costs next to the FRUIT they purchase.

I am trying to merge data from two worksheets onto a 3rd for a mail merge. The COLLECTIONS sheet contains the acct #, name and amount owed. The ADDRESSES sheet contains the acct #, name and all of the address information. The 3rd sheet is the MERGE sheet that I'm using as the reference point for my word document and the mail merge. Upon reflection the MERGE sheet is probably not necessary, but made sense to have it when I started out.
Never the less...
On the ADDRESSES sheet I am trying to name a dynamic range "AddressList" (I'm trying to go dynamic because the list of addresses will change from month to month). I am using the following formula in the refers to field when I name the range:
=Offset(Addresses!$A$5,0,0,CountA(Addresses!$A:$A),CountA(Addresses!$1:$1))
I think this is what is giving me my problem, because the named range does not show up in the list when I try to go to the named range.
Just in case that is not the problem, the #Ref is showing up when on the MERGE sheet I type a vlookup formula referencing the acct # on the ADDRESSES sheet. That formula looks like this:
=VLOOKUP(A4,AddressList,3,0)
which seems simple enough. Before trying to make the named range dynamic the formula worked fine, which is why I'm thinking the named range is what's giving me the problems.

I have an worksheet that I import a csv into, each day a new csv is added to the bottom of the previous csv data. I have some code that extracts the date and month # from the cell and places them in helper columns. The code find the last used cell in the helper column and the imported data column to find the first and last row of the new day.
This part works fine. However, I assigned a variable name to the first and last variables and would like to uses these row number to define a range in order to use the range for a vlookup or find operation. This is where I get stuck. I want to use column x and row (variable from first bit of code) to column y and row (variable from first bit of code). Then use a vlookup/find whatever works to find the text I need and get the data. Tips on looping the code would be welcome as well.
I have searched for answers to the problem, on the board and web, but have not found a solution that works for me. (at least that I could get to work!!)
Below is the code as I have it
Public Sub Enter_Date()
Dim DateA As Date
Dim DateB As Date
Dim Cnt As Integer
Dim End_of, Beg_of As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
Dim NumtoFill As Integer

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

I would like to replace the blue bit of this Dynamic Named Range (DNR) with an INDIRECT formula in order to modify the starting point for the DNR: =OFFSET(DATA!$C$60,0,0,20,1). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my INDIRECT formula to work in order to use it to replace the blue bit above: INDIRECT("'"DATA"'!&ADDRESS(MATCH('SHEET1'!AC8,DATA_Date,0)+22,3)"). The orange bit of the formula above returns a value of 60, therefore the ADDRESS formula should return $C$60, that can then feed into the INDIRECT and act as the equivalent of DATA!$C$60. But it doesn’t.

I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

I have a particular issue - i am trying to create a rolling correlation.
lets say you have two variables for 3 different months:
Month1 a x
Month2 b y
Month3 c z
correlation will correlate a-c with t-v
however, come next month - i have to manually drag the ranges for a rolling three month correlation:
Month1 a t
Month2 b u
Month3 c v
Month4 d w
correlation will now correlate b-d with u-w for a the last three months.
I want to automate this as I know what the month is, I can't seem to return the last three months and correlate the data.
I have tried to do this with the database functions, but I think that they break the array relationship of b-d and u-w in the correlation function.

In the example I have attached, I need 4 named, dynamic ranges to build a chart with:
1) Dates for the chart
always starting from A2 ... to whenever the LAST sum of B, C, D =0
(right now that would be A2:A30)
2) The Amounts
I need the amounts as 3 individual dynamic ranges, with no 0 values
(example - B2:B21, or c10:c14, etc)
3)The date column
same as #2, but just a single cell reference to show as a marker on the chart.
(example e21:e21)
I know someone here will think 'so what's the big deal' and pop it out in 30 seconds.

I'm trying to make ranges in a SumProduct formula dynamic, but getting errors #N/A. I think this is because the top two rows are headers, throwing off the range count.
Q. How do I adjust the range definition to compensate., e.g.
Range =Offset(Sheet1!$D$3,0,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),1) where column D is numeric, and
Range = Offset(Sheet1!$T$3,0,0,Match("*",Sheet1!$T:$T,-1),1) where column T is text?
I had assumed that the offset value 3 would do this, but I suspect the functions count and match are not doing so.

So I was looking for reassurance or validation more than anything. From what I can tell you can in order to build a chart that is dynamic throughout a range, you use the offset and count or counta function - 1. That part isn't a problem. My question is once you created that for your charts do you just normally plot your chart range or do you have to reference the named range directly into the chart range?

I have a stock chart that I want to update dynamically if the data record length changes. From the source data menu, I tried to use the following data ranges:
=OFFSET(Candles!$AB$8,1,0,COUNTA($AB:$AB)) ---> Date, x values
=OFFSET(Candles!$AD$8,1,0,COUNTA($AD:$AD)) ---> High
=OFFSET(Candles!$AE$8,1,0,COUNTA($AE:$AE)) ---> Low
=OFFSET(Candles!$AF$8,1,0,COUNTA($AF:$AF)) ---> Close
When I place any of these in the data range box under 'x axis labels or values', I receive the message "This function is not valid".
The MS webpage at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...098011033.aspx describes using these formulas but they don't appear to work.

I am creating a consolidation worksheet. It contains a macro that automatically copy data from other sources and paste it into my DB sheet. It already works, but I want to improve it. The source worksheet databases has been defined with the name “SOURCE”. Is there any way that I can make my macro look for this dynamic ranges directly, copy and paste it into my DB sheet. I am attaching an example of what my current macro is doing.

I've got a spreadsheet that I download a list of information into. The information relates to activities that are taking place e.g. start time, end time, type of activity (e.g. meeting) and duration (which identifies the length of the activity in 30 min slots e.g. 9.30am - 11.30am = 4).
The rest of the columns are labelled to represent the time in 30 min slots starting from 9am. What I would like excel to be able to do is to identify the first cell in the range which would be the cell that represents the start time in the row. Then from this cell fill cells in the row up to the end time with something - it doesn't matter what as long as the cell can be differentiated from the other blank cells in the row.
I don't think that I've explained myself that well so I've attached the spreadsheet for you to look at.

I'm having a fit with this formula; maybe the gurus will show me what I'm doing wrong. I have a list of area numbers along with dollar amounts that go with these area numbers. I have created a named range named "Areas" and another one named "MO_PD".
At the bottom of the worksheet I am doing a recap that takes the area number and sums all the entries in the MO PD column. This approach has been done before with Thomach's help. I'm trying to mimic it, but it's not working for me.
NOTE - I know that I can get around this using a pivot table, but I would like to use this approach for now. I would at least like to know what I'm doing wrong. Also, I'm not totally sure if I did the dynamic named ranges correctly so that may need to be fixed.

I've been working a macro that seems pretty simple, but has been giving me loads of trouble. I have about 20 worksheets in a Workbook, which all have a similar template (i.e. the data I'm interested in starts on row 14), but have different amounts (rows) of data in them. I want a macro that sorts all the data in ascending/descending order according to column Q. The problem that I am running into is not that the macro only works for the sheet that is active when I run the macro as opposed to every single sheet in the workbook ....

Does COUNTIFS not work with named ranges/dynamic ranges? Everytime I try, I get a #VALUE! error. These are my 2 dynamic ranges:
ResultsM=OFFSET([results_list.xls]Results!$M$4,0,0,COUNTA([results_list.xls]Results!$M:$M),1)
ResultsQ=OFFSET([results_list.xls]Results!$Q$4,0,0,COUNTA([results_list.xls]Results!$Q:$Q),1)
The formula is simply:
=COUNTIFS(ResultsQ,"GENDER",ResultsM,"MALE"
However, this does NOT work. it returns the #VALUE! error. However, odly enough, when I use column references, it works:
=COUNTIFS([results_list.xls]Results!Q:Q, "GENDER", [results_list.xls]Results!M:M, "MALE")
This makes me think that COUNTIFS just don't work with named references..

Worksheet A - I've set up a dynamic range to display the last 12 row entries of 2 columns
Worksheet B - pivot table of the range
The dynamic range is working perfectly, it displays the correct rows I can set up the data source once... the results on the pivot table display corectly
Problem When i press refresh, the data source "dissapears" and i have to rebuild the pivot table.

I have a question regarding dynamic validation. I have attached a sample spreadsheet to clarify if my explanation doesn't. I have a list of codes that map to a list of other codes that are not one to one mapping. I would like for the other users of this code to populate what the correct code on our side is but without having to go thru the entire list in a validation field. (if that makes since)
Using validation before in a similar instance i used indirect to grab a named range to help shorten the list for them. However in this case that would be a ton of ranges i would have to set up! I've tried Match, countif and index in an offset formula in the validation list but can never get it to work!

I want to create a cascading combo box from some values that I have, ill explain how I approached it.
Cascading combo box is a combobox which values are obtained depending on the answer of a previous combo box.
So I set up a little table like so:
Categories Car Train Bike
Car Mercades First Honda
Train Ford Western Ducati
Bike Skoda Red Suzuki
and the combo boxes would be set aside from that.I collected the data in Named Ranges (A Range for Categories, A Range for Car, A Range for Train...)
The first data validation box contains = Categories the second data validation box contains =INDIRECT($C$2) (Where C2 was the range of the first validation box)
Once this was working, I decided to change the formula for the named ranges to allow me to add more values.
The formula was: =$F3$F8
I changed it to: =OFFSET($F$3,0,0,COUNTA($F3:$F96),1)
I expected this to work however, it just doesnt.... when clicking on the drop down arrow for the validation box, nothing happens. No box or values or dropdown.

In the attached workbook I have hard-pasted data in columns A:M that's designated as an Excel Table to make it dynamic.
In the adjacent columns O:AA I have formulae to extract data from A:M based on the "Frequency" stipulated in cell AD1,
I would like to be able easily to sort the data in the variable sized range in columns O to AA in descending order of the calculated values in column Z.
Best way to do this so that the formula don't get jumbled up or the blank cells in column Z end up at the top of the sorted data?

I currently have two tables in one worksheet showing the sales of different region.
The problem is, when I sort the data in the table (I can't used the named ranges as it should exclude the first row which is the header), is there a way I can make it dynamic too??
**Attached, please find the example spreadsheet, I have only written the code for the first table.

having trouble editing the code to allow for dynamic ranges. I have tried to research online, but am having a hard time with it. I think I would understand better if I could see a practical example.
Here is the sample macro I recorded in Excel that I am working with:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$C$87").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3), _
Header:=xlNo
End Sub
How can I edit this to allow for dynamic rows and columns?

I run a macro on a spreadheet in which the rows increase daily. In the macro I simply recorded an end.down to select a column of data which ends up being fixed row numbers in the code so the next time I run the macro it only selects the range I selected last time.

The range element below needs to be dynamic. A1 and down meaning if i was to do this out of VBA I would hold CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN but i cant do that from macro record as it doesn't work, I'm guessing this Range("A1:A73") is the element I need to change but I don't know what to?
Range("Main[#All]").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _
Sheets("Input").Range("A1:A73"), Unique:=True
