Having a strange problem with vLOOKUP. Please see the attached file. The result is in cell M1 of the sheet (Link to the file below).
Vlookup works fine if the data is entered manually in cell H1, but with the formula it errors up .how i could make this work with the formula?
After dumping the Showcase Query result into an Excel file I am using a vlookup to insert data. My problem is that the vlookup won't find results unless I actually click on the cell that contains the lookup value to activate it. I have tried formatting the cells (both lookup and the return value) as general and text and nothing works (which makes my macro usless if it requires user intervention).
View 3 Replies View Relatedtroubleshooting dependent validation list formula. I found the Ozgrid instructions for the Dependent Validation Lists to be verfy informative and I downloaded the "MatchingLists.xls" to use as a starting point.
My challenge is this: The MatchingLists.xls example does not take into account that there may be MULTIPLE dependent lists that have spaces, numbers and other unique characters in the list's source celles. Therefore, I have decided to reference a NameLookup (named range) that has an abbrevieated name for each each item (without numbers & spaces) I am nesting VLOOKUP within the INDIRECT formula to achieve the results I need - but for some reason it fails occasionally and I do not know how to troubleshoot!
Data Validation Source =INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(E5," ","_"),NameLookup,2,0))
Excel's Data Validation simply returns the message "The source currently evaluates to an error". This is frustrating becuase it is not consistent. It works with some lists and not with others. How do I troubleshoot???
My worksheet is attached for your reference. The source data for the dependent lists is on the Lists sheet. The dependent drop-downs are in columns E-H on the drop-down sheet. The formula that I am having trouble with is in "Subcategory" (column F). For some reason, I cannot choose category "26_Heat_Exchangers" to populate the subcategories. There are a few other categories that this formula breaks on and I don't know why. Please tell me this is not some crazy limitation with Named Ranges.
In cells BS8 I have the following =100*SUBSTITUTE(BR16,"metres","") to get centremetres from cell BR8 and in cell BT8 I have the following
=IF(BS8,ROUND('Under 6 Boys'!D11*(BS8-'Under 6 Boys'!E11)^'Under 6 Boys'!F11,0),"") I get a #Value error
I have also tried
=ROUND('Under 6 Boys'!D11*(BS8-'Under 6 Boys'!E11)^'Under 6 Boys'!F11,0)
In BT8 but I get same error
I have used it in another sheetsheet and it works I don’t understand why is is happening ...
I am using a combination of validation, vlookup and simple formulas to lay out a workorder. If I leave something blank in one of the feilds then everything that comes after say #n/a and won't allow the calculation to complete. Is there a way I can set a default value or something so to make calculate all the feilds that ARE filled in?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with data tabs (one shown here) and a summary tab. Essentially, one inputs hours for people in the Data tab (Tech) that are then calculated/summed to total $ based on rates I have hidden elsewhere in the workbook (not included). I'm trying to bring the subtotal lines (highlighted green) into the Summary tab based on which subtotal and what month/year it is. My formula works fine, except for the fact that it is returning a #Value! due to the "Hrs" heading for each Phase. I don't know why it's doing this because I've not run into sum array issues when mixing numbers and letters before. The error formula is highlighted in yellow in my attached sample, but below is a copy of the formula.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI can not get the following formula to work - I keep getting #Value errors and I've checked the fields and the values are correct
=SUM(IF(Input!$A$6:$A$4006=1,IF(Input!$I$6:$I$4006="DM",IF(Input!$K$6:$K$4006="Bid",Input!$L$6:$L$40 06,0),0),0))
My intension is that if A=1 and I=DM and K=bid then add the corresponding values in L and display. I can't figure out why this formula in another cell and works fine
=SUM(IF(Input!$A$6:$A$4006>0,IF(Input!$A$6:$A$4006<1,IF(Input!$I$6:$I$4006="DM",IF(Input!$K$6:$K$400 6="Bid",Input!$L$6:$L$4006,0),0),0),0))
it is just checking an additional condition of the value in column A
I am using a SUM function with multiple conditions as an array formula.

I've been using some code I wrote at the start of March to open some files that I've created earlier in the day in order to add to them.
The code worked fine until the month changed. Here is the code I have to open the file I need.
strdate = Format(Now, "dd-mmmm-yyyy")
ChDir "C:DesktopTodays ReportsReports " & strdate & ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\DesktopTodays ReportsReports " & strdate & "Date Report " & strdate & ".xls"
Since April 1st I have been getting a compile error saying I have the "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment".
I am at a loss as to why the code doesn't wok as nothing chaged between March 31st and April 1st.
Sub indX()
For rwindex = 1 To 4
For collindex = 1 To 10
With Worksheets("sheet1"). cell(rwindex.collndex)
If Value < 0.001 Then .Value = 0
endwith
Next collndex
Next rw
End Sub
I have a code here and i have to spot what the errors are.
I know there is an error with 'endwith' but not sure what to do to fix it
What i'm looking to do is input a VBA command to comb the activesheet (which contains approximately 1400 rows, and 32 columns of mixed data and formulas), and determine if the text value "#N/A" appears anywhere on the sheet. If it occurs one or more times, i want it to set a boolean flag to true.
I know of ways to do so by setting a = countif(A:AG,"#N/A") formula in a cell, but unfortunately this is not my solution here, as it needs to be done before the formula is converted to text. A countif does not show a visible value of #N/A if its true value is a formula.
I've got a bunch of formulas that often are trying to divide by zero, hence this error in the cell. Is there an easy way to modify the forumla or format so that if a division by zero is attempted, the cell can show a zero instead of this error?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I run a report, for some reason our system imports certain numbers which have errors, as a consequence when I try and do a pivot table I get a lot of returns showing #div/o!. If you look at the spreadsheet the errors start on line 103 sheet 2 and finish on 2631. Sometime the report can be huge and takes a while to go through these manually to convert to numbers.

I entered an activex object command thing.. and now I'm not sure how to exit out of it.. it just keeps alerting errors messages like reference is not valid and other ones depending on what I type in the formula box.
I just want to remove the object, but I can't get past the error alerts.. they just keep coming every single time I click somewhere on the workbook trying to exit out of it.. so I'm not sure how to even get out of it.. I don't want to open up Task Manager to exit out of the entire program because I didn't save my workbook.
I am brand new (Day 1) to VBA programming and I am running into an issue when trying to activate a sheet based on the value chosen in my userForm that I cannot seem to solve. The error seems to be a compile error and says I am missing and End statement to one of my If Then statements, specifically:
Compile error: End If without block If
I thought if the If Then statement was all on one line that I would not need an End If statement. In fact, if I try to add an End If statement, I get an error (all proceeding text turns red).
This is the part of the code with the End If error.

I have developed a process design application in Excel using User Forms to input data. The data are placed on a sheet of a workbook with the majority of the calculations being done by cell-to-cell calculations so that users can view the formulas if they so desire. This application works well in English. We want to use the same application in our German office where it has not worked well.
In order to trouble shoot the problems, I can go to the Region and Language setting under Control Panel and set it to German (Germany). This converts the number format to a period for the thousands separator and a comma for the decimal. This seems to create a lot of problems for VBA that I have not been able to sort out.
To simplify the problem I have written a very simple program. It has one User Form with two text boxes for number input, an Enter command button and a Close command button. Sheet 1 has a command button that opens the User Form. In the User Form, I enter a number in both text boxes and click Enter. VBA code then enters the number from Text Box 1 in Cell A1 and the number from Text Box 2 in Cell A2. Cell A3 has an equation that calculates the sum of A1 and A2. All cells are formatted as General.
The workbook works as expected in English. When I set my PC to German (Germany) the application works as expected when I enter an integer in the text boxes. However, if I enter a decimal such as, in the German format, 10,5 and 5,5, the numbers entered into the spreadsheet are text (left justified) and the sum is zero. I have to enter 10.5 and 5.5 to get the numbers to enter as actual numbers and give the correct sum.
How to make VBA work with the German settings?
I need a formula that will check a few things and if it finds an error the word error will appear in the cell, the details of which are in the attached spreadsheet.
I have worked on this a great deal and cannot seem to make a formula with the proper logic. There is a sample of an error in the spreadsheet.
I have a workbook that contains several formulas that return #value! errors. My formulas are correct and I can remove the error by using an "if" function, but there are a lot of these cells. I just want to make the error show blank to make my workbook look nicer without having to write formulas to avoid the error messages. Is there something I can add in the VBA worksheet function to turn off these errors?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a Macro that will basically fix any run time errors, that should occur without users having to close the document and reopen. I know I can hit "ctrl G" in the VBA and in the immediate window type in:

Is there a way of hiding the #N/A which is returned as a result of a formula, but keep the formula in a cell so it may be included in a sum?

I have a colomn with numers and text. I would like to get an average of the numbers in the column, but using average (A1:A10) gives me #N/A as some of the cells contain #N/A.
So wondering if there is an AverageIF function in excel that I can use to write something which only averages IF it is a number.
Sounds very basic but I could not find anything through search.
how i can search #N/A , #values error in a work sheet and replace with 0. i tried with find and replace dialague but it seems not recognizing error values.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an array containing valid results e.g. 1.1, 3, 2.4 etc and invalid results such as #VALUE! or # DIV/0!. The cells are linked by formula to other sheets and it happens to me that there are some invalid answer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a large worksheet (about 9,000 rows) with lots of vlookups to another sheet.
It is possible that some of the lookups will return '#N/A' but it is laborious to go through all the rows to check.
Is there a way to have a macro to look through that part of the worksheet, and to pop up a message box with the cell reference of the first error it finds? (I'm sure there is a way! I just dont know it)

View 11 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to inset a bank into a cell, and use that cell in a subsequent addition formula?
For example;
A1 contains 1
B1 contains 2
C1 contains =IF(A1=1,"",3)
D1 contains =A1+B1+C1
In the above case the cell D1 contains #VALUE and not 3, whereas if C1 were actually blank D1 would contain 3.
The reason I ask is that a blank is not the same value mathematically as 0. The latter is the number zero, whereas the former is the lack of any number.
