Is it possible to get Vlookup to pull the format of text across to the new cell?
For example, if the source data is bold, can you get it to show up as bold in the new cell? Or worse, if there are multiple formats in the original cell (like some text is bold, some is red font etc.) can that be pulled across through Vlookup?
i have created a Vlookup that pulls data from another work sheet, it all works fine apart from this one thing....
On a work sheet i have a lot of hyperlinks that work fine, but as soon as they get pulled over using a Vlookup, the name of the hyperlink comes accross for example "link 1" but you can not click on it to take you to the link like you can on the original one.
I am having problems with the function vlookup. I attached an excel file of my problem. It seems to pull the correct lookup, then it pulls the wrong data until a correct one occurs. My excel attachment should make more since of my problem. It will also pull data that is invalid. For example, the name "S5" is not a in my original data so it should not be able to find that?? Sorry, this is hard to explain - let me know if the file is not clear enough.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report which has list of outstanding invoices on Sheet1 and I enter invoice nos and Notes on to DATA sheet then by using Vlookup function I transfer the Notes to Sheet1 under "Notes Column K",
Some reason vlookup doesn't work because of the invoice number's format on Sheet1 doesn't match with the invoice numbers on the DATA sheet because they come from SQL server data base table,
So every time I refresh the Sheet1's data then I need to do Text To Colum on "Colum D" to make it work but this is not a solution because every time I refresh the Sheet1's data Vlookup formula doesn't work.
Is there a SQL formula that I can add to my SQL code which can automatically do Text to Column on the "Column D"?
I need to change the date format in a cell which also contains text.
The full formula is as follows:-
="Report period:
"&TEXT(Control!B9,"dd mmmm yyyy")&" - "&TEXT(Control!B10,"dd mmmm yyyy")
This gives me the following:-
Report period:
01 October 2012 - 30 September 2013
What I would like to have is the following:-
Report period:
1st October 2012 - 30th september 2013
It's only a minor change but I think it looks better. Without a hideously complicated formula, if this is possible using one of the standard cell formats?
I have been using conditional formatting for a project in Excel 2007 but as the end users are using Excel 2003, I have had to switch to the following VBA solution as my requirements exceed the standard 3 available conditions. I have looked at using custom formatting but I need to format the cell colour rather than just the font colour.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C19:IV384")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "0.5", "1", "U"
icolor = 38
Case "C", "M", "P"
icolor = 40
Case "A", "S", "D"
icolor = 36
Case "L", "UP", "C/E"
icolor = 35
Case Else
'Whatever
End Select
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor
End If
End Sub
* When the macro is run on one worksheet, formatting and values are replicated simultaneously on another identical worksheet (not necessarily vice versa).
* As well as formatting cell colour when containing a value, a border should also be added with different colours for the top, bottom, left and right border.
* When the cell contains no value, the borders should return to how they were previously.
I'm having trouble keeping the formatting correctly in a text box through VBA. I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm the intern that got stuck with trying to program for the break since they know I've taken classes on the subject. I've been able to figure out a lot
End goal: To have the first word of a text box larger, underlined, and bolded. Problem: It only formats it Calibri at 24 point with no special formatting as indicated in the code.
Conditional Formating Text equaling to Number formats:
Example:
C20 is '436.59 (its pasted as text often is must remain as text) and D20 is 436.9535
I want D20 to have only 2 decimals and turn green if it equals C20. And turn red if it doesnt equal C20.
I have a user form which includes some text boxes (txtRUL.text for example) where I want to enter a number as a percentage. I divide the number entered by 100 to avoid Excel automatically multiplying by 100 and the result is displayed in the user form as the correct percentage.
Private Sub txtRUL_AfterUpdate()
EnableSave
txtRUL.Value = Format(txtRUL.Value / 100, "0.0%")
(I'm sorry I cant figure out how to format this code as code in this post)
This works well, trouble is when I save and it writes the results to the worksheet, the numbers in the user form revert back to plain unformatted non percentage numbers (ie 5% goes to 0.05)
see the below link...
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=350701. So far this is the closest I got, but it only pulls the values for 01 Nov. =NDEX(NS_Tally!W1082:W1360,MATCH($J$32,NS_Tally!V1082:V1360,0))
I've got a working macro that pulls a Userform. Everything works correctly but I'd like to have the form displayed on the far right instead of center screen. I've tried all the options on the form properties list to no avail.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
Worksheets(1).Select
Range("A1").Select
UserForm_1.Show
End Sub

I have used this formula to extract the date portion, but I can't get this to then format as date. How do I convert this to the julian date, so I can then apply a date format?
=LEFT(G9,SEARCH("/",G9)+7)
(The day portion of this date always has a leading zero).

I have been using code found on this forum, and it's helped out a lot, but i'm still having trouble on one of the userforms. the one that i'm having the biggest trouble with called frmEditData. What it is designed to do is pull data from different fields and display them in the textboxes on the different sheets. then, the user has the option of updating those tabs and saving the changes. For the life of me, i cannot get the data to change. it always reverts back to the original information in the cells.
i have to say again that I don't really know how to read the code too well just yet, and i've been copying code that appears to work on other sheets, but it might not necessarily work here. I have attached a rough copy of what i've been working on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a crosstab query in Access that groups by month and year. In Excel 2003, I have a query that pulls in the crosstab query.
At the time, I couldn't just pull in the Access table. For the other Access tables and queries, I could go to Data >> Import External Data >> Import Data >> select the database as a source >> select the table name.
However, to get the crosstab query, I had to go to Data >> Import External Data >> New Database Query >> MS Access Data Source* >> browse to my database >> select the crosstab query name >> select the data I wanted.
Since I wanted all the data, there did not seem to be a difference. But now that new dates are being added to the database, there *is* a problem. When I wrote the query, I only included the months available -- up to June 08. Now that there is data in July 08, that month exists as a heading in the crosstab, but Excel's query doesn't know to pull it! I have to manually edit the query to add the new month.
So my question is... is there a way to do this automatically? I have two crosstabs in five different spreadsheets, making a total of ten manual updates I have to remember to do each month.
I'm creating a master spreadsheet and I want it to pull live data from other spreadsheets depending on a variable.
I've a cell that has a variable date. I've files saved that have this variable attached to it in the name format: 'filename variable'.
I want to pull data, hopefully live, from workbooks based on this variable.
For example, I have files: generic 01212014, generic 01222014, generic 01232014.
The date is stored in the master workbook say in A1 that I can manipulate by entering a different date to pull data from a different workbook.
='[generic 01212014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01222014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01232014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
There has to be away to make the bolded portions of the file name variable, right?

New user with basic knowledge faced with a multi-part challenge.
I have a list of 10 items (multiple words) in a drop down
Based on what is selected in the drop-down, I am trying to figure out the best way for it to pull the corresponding text paragraph. This would then be concatenated with a numerical value inputed b the user in another cell. The final output would be displayed in a final cell.
I have figured out how to concatenate between one cell and the other cell with the paragraph but I am at a loss for how to make it more dynamic in the sense that the drop down selection drives the paragraph being selected and then taking the value in cell A1 to concatenate within that paragraph and outputting the final text to be copied out from excel.
I tried looking at posts for dependent data verification and I felt like I was on the right track but hit a wall.

Our spreadsheet pulls values from a column when a month is inserted in a certain cell:
OCT is typed in B2 and in the column below it, from B10 down to B286, data (numbers) are pulled from the October column K10 through K286 using =IF($B$2="Oct",K10,IF(and so on for each month). IF Nov is typed in B2 then the same happens except data is pulled from the November column, L. The monthly columns from K through V are tied to and updated
from other sheets. As you can see the problem is that nested functions allow only 7 and I need 12, one for each month. I have looked at the VLOOPUP and the HLOOKUP but our data is not set up that way (tables) since they need to be exact numbers pulled from the monthly columns that are tied to other sheets.

I've got this code that pulls data from multiple files into one table. the file name is in the top row, and each file's title, and two different sums display below that. Then it is supposed to loop through and display each task and the start and end date for that task within each file. After that the first loop brings it to the next column and file. The primary loop works fine, but the inner loop only seems to run once, as I get only the first result for each file. All I can figure is that maybe my row numbers aren't resetting like they're supposed to, or I'm completely overlooking something, which is likely, as VBA is by no means my forte.

The weather data I receive from a web query pulls data in oddly. For example, some days it pulls the weather for today into cell A1, and the forecasts for the following 3 days are in A4, A9, then A19. The cells in between are blank, and the problem is that it pulls it in randomly otherwise I could just have the cells reference it (ex. some days it pulls it into A2, A8, etc) What I need to do is arrange it, in order, without the blank rows, but I want to do this without deleting the rows.
