Variable Reference In GetPivotData Function/Formula
May 28, 2008
I am trying to do a "getpivotdata" formula on a cell in certain file that gets info from a pivot table on another file. However the name of the second file (the one where the pivot table is found on) might be different each time so I created a variable for the second file name but I can’t figure out a way to use this variable in the get pivot data formula as I am not very experience with VBA.
Template = Application.InputBox("What is the name of the file ending with (.xls)")
If Template = False Then
cont1 = MsgBox("Please write the name correctly using (.xls)!", vbOKOnly)
If cont1 = vbOK Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If

I will show with an example of what I would like to do. I italized and underscored the part of the formula.
---A----B
1 24 formulaB
formulaB = "= CELL("contents",DifferentSheet!G(A1))"
I want B1 to contain the value from the cell G24 in sheet "DifferentSheet". I want to use the value in A1 to determine what row on "DifferentSheet" I should use.

We have a very long macro that at the end sends an email to each training coordinator. Within the body of the email, we want to autopopulate the completion status from a pivot table using getpivotdata.
We first try to set the variable but get an error: [compile error:invalid qualifier].
Sheets(Summary).Select
Dim BDCompletion As String
BDCompletion = Application.PivotTableSelection.GetPivotData(A3, "Business Dev Plan Found")
And this is how we plan to incorporate the variable into the body of the email:
With OutMail
.To = "name@company.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = CurrentSheet.Name & " Training Plan Status as of " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy")
.Body = "BD is " & BDCompletion & " complete for 2007 Training Plans as of the date of this email."
.Attachments.Add Destwb.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C: est.txt")
.Send 'or use .Display
End With

I'm struggling to get the "getpivotdata" function working correctly.Sample book attached.
I'm trying to return the data that is held within the pivot table to a separate part of the sheet.In column D I have week numbers and in column E the qty(which is currently empty) How do I return the qty in column E from the data in the pivot table (column B) relative to the respective week numbers.

Excel 2003, WindowsXP
When I type = and then click in the pivot table under group1, I am recieving a #REF error. It strange because when I do the same thing in another group (ie. group 2 or group 3, etc.) in the same pivot table I don't recieve the error?

Is it possible to replace the Pivit table name/reference in a GETPIVOT function with a cell/range reference? I can on other components of the function call, but not that. For example ... the "hardwired" function call might be:
=GETPIVOTDATA(" Sum of 1991",'[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3,"Company","ERG","Item"," Depreciation & Amortisation")
I can achieve the same result by externalising the 1991 and ERG, so i replace this with other dates or names, thus:
ERG
1991=GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of "&C13,'[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3,"Company",D12,"Item"," Depreciation & Amortisation")
.. and this works fine.
However, if I try and replace the '[EE_financial data.xls]Sheet1'!$A$3 with a reference to a cell containing that string, it returns #REF!

I have the following line in VBA which works.
[Code]....
I have a variable for the column adress of the second part of the formula so it looks like this:

But it says I don't have the correct syntax.

I'm trying to use a variable as a cell reference in a formula using '&', but can't seem to get it to work. I've looked through the forum, which have examples of how to do this using a range, but not just as a single cell reference. This puts the formula '=VLOOKUP("A & lastrow &"" , Vlookupinput, 2,0)", which obviously gives me an error.
My code is:
Code:
Dim lastrow As String
lastrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=VLOOKUP("A & lastrow &"" , Vlookupinput, 2,0)"

I want to create a formula of the form: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4,2,2,TRUE,($A9) and insert this in a cell BUT the $A9 reference needs to reference the row of the cell where the formula is being inserted which will vary. ie. A30, A31, etc. How do I do this?

I have the following code which Clears the content of a cell. The next thing I want to have happen is to have another cell equal a formula but make that formula relative to its place. The formula is the following =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(F56,Routes_All,2,0)),0,VLOOKUP(F56,Routes_All,2,0))
I am not sure how to paste it where the row changes depending on where it is pasted. Here is the code that does not work...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("2008 Log").Select
Dim cRow
cRow = ActiveCell.Row '
Cells(cRow, Range("Column_Type_Of_Ride").Column).ClearContents
Cells(cRow, Range("column_duration").Column).value = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(F56,Routes_All,2,0)),0,VLOOKUP(F56,Routes_All,2,0))"
End Sub
As you can see, no matter where I paste it it will always refer to row "F". How can I have it refer to row "cRow"?

I have this problem with pivot tables:when I write a formula relating to a cell in the pivot table I don't get the usual basic cell refs (e.g. B4/b5) but I get something like GETPIVOTDATA("Vehicle No",$A$3,"Model Desc",...... etc etc
and I cannot copy and paste this formula!
I would like to know if there is a shortcut to use basic Cell refs because it is very boring always type the cell details in manually when using data from a Pvt table
Some weeks ago I had to move from excel 2000 to excel 2003 and It seems incredible to me that moving to a more recent release of excel become a step behind....
also using vba code?

I am an architect and recently I was required to do some extensive calculation relating to water requirements and toilet requirements for a building that i was designing. i created a excel file, with a basic vlookup function to put certain values in the cells that are pre-defined for a particular building typology (mostly created by governmental bodies as guidelines). for example, when i choose a particular type in column E, column F and G fills up automatically. now this table also gives me occupant load based on what is the area i enter in column D.
The problem is that I want to automate the calculation of toilet requirements. Now, each typology will have a different formula to calculate WC/Urinal/washbasin.
1. there will be 17 different formula - one for each typology (as shown in sheet 5)
2. Column j will calculate what is the number of WC required based on 2 criteria - first id what is the typology and then looking what is the number of occupant.
The problem here is for example, if in E9, selected typology as "offices", the formula of offices typology will be used in J9 and occupant value from H9 will be used but if i have E18 also selected as offices typology, the same formula will use occupant value mentioned in H18 instead of using H9.
Hence, excel will first have to look what is the typology selected. based on that, it will load formula - out of that 17 different formula - specific to that typology and finally it will refer to corresponding row for occupant load and will use it in the formula to get the result.

I have a workbook with a Summary sheet and then a series of sheets for each month/year. Onthe summary sheet I use column A for the month/year as a date formatted "mmm yy" ie the same as the sheet names.
in columns B,C,D I want formulae that sums or averages a fixed range on each sheet but I would like the formula to take the sheet name from Columa A rather than hard coding it.
So that in the example =SUM('Dec 04'!$C$6:$C$47) I want to take the "Dec 04" from the text in cell A3

Is there any way to use a formula rather than a direct cell reference in the Reference argument of an Offset function?
For example, rather than this:
=OFFSET(H3,0,-7,1,1)
I want to do this:
=OFFSET(max(H:H),0,-7,1,1)
Effectively replacing the starting cell of the offset function with a dynamic formula that returns the maximum value of an array.

I have an excel based report where I drop data into a blank spreadsheet each month and my formula (in a second worksheet) finds the relevant information. I do this by using the Match function on the first row of my source data. This finds the column numbers to the data I am interested in. (This is handy as additional columns of data appear almost every month). Most of my formula (in the second worksheet) works on vlookups using the column number from the match function.
However, I need to do a sumif. Sumif requires cell references rather than a column number. How can I get around this? Due to the nature of the report, VBA isn't appropriate in this instance. I'm only producing the initial report; someone else will be updating it each month.

How do I pass MATCH or COUNTIF the current dynamic row instead of hardcoding $3? The column is fine hardcoded. Column F has data validation allow List with source equal to dynamic range "userlocation". Column H has data validation allow List with source =OFFSET(userlocation,MATCH($F$3,userlocation,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(userlocation,$F$3),1)
In Column H, this will in effect provide me with a list of values based upon the value of cell F3. Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to reference ROW as a dynamic reference in my MATCH and COUNTIF function.
EX
Column F Column H
Screen1 (if Screen1 = value in my dynamic range pass me back value in a list)
Screen2 (if Screen2 etc.
Screen3

I have a table of consolidated data that consists of the date at which certain payments occur and their amounts that other sheets need to reference to perform calculations. I am currently using the formula below to put the data under the correct date column. =INDEX(ImportedData!$B$10:$DB$10,MATCH(B3,ImportedData!$B$4:$DB$4,FALSE)). The problem that I have is that the INDEX range, currently B10:DB10, will need to change depending on the number of files that are consolidated ie with more files the row will increase.

I have problem with a spreadsheet that I am trying to create.
I have a large sheet of data which is dumped in from another program. This contains our deliveries and orders etc.
Now for planning purposes, I would like to see how much of each item I have on order.
I can use VLOOKUP, but that will only give me the amount for the first order it encounters. But not the 3rd, 4th etc. I could use SUMIF but I need the dates as well. After doing some searching I think I have found a way of doing this: I can get the first easier enough:
=VLOOKUP(D$11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,5,FALSE), this gives the first order than the another =VLOOKUP(D11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,11,FALSE) for its date.
For the second column to check any other orders I thought I could find the cell referance for the first SEARCH: which is
A108: ="A"&MATCH(D11,'purchase order'!A:A,0).
Is there any way of using this Reference to start a new VLOOKUP. So the Lookup Range starts at this reference?? To make things harder it is on another sheet.

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 am having to copy and paste rows of data into a new worksheet where the rows sizes change and I am wanting to add a new row at the end of the pasted rows but with the sumation formula to add the relevant column
e.g copy range B14:AA17 with in this case columns E to AA holding the numerical values. Therefore I wish in cell E18 to sum the value of E14:E17 and so on ending with cell AA18 holding the sum of AA14:AA17
As these vary I have all relevant variables, Range to add sumation values to eg E18:AA18
Start Cell E14 and so on.
I tried adding "=SUM(x:d)" where x and d are vars relating the the column cell required eg x = E14 and d = E17

how to achieve what I'll call "parameter driven" code where the "parameters" are variable names.
For example, in the following code... I'm looking for an answer to the question posed...

Is there any way of referring to a variable name based on the value of another variable? I have the following code: (where the value for "aux" is defined somewhere else)
Dim aux As Integer
Dim number1 As Integer
Dim number2 As Integer
Dim number3 As Integer
If aux = 1 Then number1 = 1
If aux = 2 Then number2 = 1
If aux = 3 Then number3 = 1
The variables "number1", "number2" and "number3" are always filled with the same value ("1"). Is there any way of writing the "If-part" of the code in only one line? I was thinking that maybe there is a way of calling "number1", "number2" or "number3" depending on the variable "aux". For instance writing something similar to: number + aux = 1

A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use
=COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"),
and the next date comes along the formula changes to
=COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
