I am having trouble with a number of workbooks when using vlookup (using the wizard rather than entering the formula directly)
First I select the cell with lookup value, then try to select the table array on the source sheet but the cursor changes to the hand symbol and I can't click on any cells. I have had this problem with many different workbooks. The only solution I have found is to copy the whole sheet, paste-special-values into a new sheet and use that as source.
I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that can be used to easily build a collective list of steps, for a user to read and follow line-by-line.
I want a source sheet of "steps" that I can change over time, and the resulting tabs that reference the source sheet get updated/populated automatically.
I've pieced together some VBA code from other sources, which kind of does what I want it to:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet Set SourceSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Steps") Dim TargetSheet As Worksheet Set TargetSheet = Target.Worksheet Dim c As Integer Dim Source As Range
[Code]...
But there are some problems:
1) The data auto-populates into a row. It would read better if each step was in the same column, meaning rows would need to be automatically added upon selecting something from the drop-down list. The number of rows that need to be added vary based on the number of steps in the source sheet, for the selection made from the drop-down list.
2) If you make a change to the source sheet, my goal is to have the other sheets referencing the source sheet's lists of steps update automatically, so you only need to update the steps in one spot and everything you've built from them gets updated instantly. Currently, you must select a different choice from the drop-down list, and then change it back, before it populates the "new" steps from the source sheet.
This is my first time using VBA.
What I have so far is attached: testAutoPopulate.xlsm
I have 2 sheets, lets say SheetA1 and SheetA2. I am using Vlookup to serial number & getting data from SheetA1 to SheetA2. But I want to modifty the data. If i modify the data in SheetA2 that modification should relect in SheetA1. Is it possible...
I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
I current have a Vlookup looking at the source data in another workbook stored in a drive so that only limited people have access. Because this information is linked to a drive I thought that it wouldn't return a value if you didn't have access to the drive but I was wrong. Is there a way to remove the Vlookup information if you don't have access to the drive?
I'm trying to create a macro that will open automatically generated report outputs and manipulate the data.
The macro will run from it's own workbook (Report Macro.xls), sheets / cells within this workbook are available as 'helpers'.
So far what I have working ok is;
Via a browse dialogs in a userform in Report Macro.xls I select 5 different report outputs. I'm storing the full filename & path in Sheet Data, Cells B1:B6 (B1 being the filename & path to the macro file). In column C I have just the filename
The first file is opened and manipulated as required. The next thing I need to do with it is to open the second file (filename / path in B3) and put a Vlookup in cell 02 of the first file which will look for data in the second (the second file will only ever have a single sheet).
As a formula I'd be using
Code: =VLOOKUP(A2,'Email 22FEB12.XLS'!$B$7:$C$13120,2,FALSE) In VBA if I use;
Code: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-14],'Email 22FEB12.XLS'!R7C2:R13120C3,2,FALSE)" It works great. However, the second filename will change and I need to take it from the macro file, sheet 'Data', cell 'C3'.
How can I use the contents of sheet Data, cell C3 in the VBA code above instead of the filename being hard-coded?
I have an excel file - central database - that holds a lot of raw data organized in tables. There are more than 15 files (dependent files) that access this data using VLOOKUP formulas.
I now need to add a few columns to the central database and these columns can't be after the columns already existing, i.e. they have to be on the left of some of the existing columns. Inserting those columns is going to mess up all the vlookup formulas in the dependent files.
Is there a way change the central database file without affecting the vlookup formulas in the dependent files?
i have the following table, i want my Vlookup not only get the description from Column K but to get column K , L , M City and Country as well and put them in Columns D for Description, E for City and F for Country. would this be possible with Vlookup formula or any other formula?
I've used vlookup before but his #REF problem has me stumped.
I want to concat two cells in the Source worksheet and vlookup into the Defs sheet, but I keep getting #REF(G4:G6) when I want to return the 2nd column in the Defs sheet. What's curious is when I modify the vlookup to return the 1st column I correctly get the lookup cells(G6:G9).
What's wrong with the formula in G4.
My requirement is I can't change the format of the Source worksheet because it contains macros that work with ERwin. And it is MUCH bigger than the attached sample so I will copy/paste the formula down 6000+ cells.
See attachment for full explanation of problems. I'm trying to get the correct sales tax when selecting a particular county. I can't get the vlookup to work and also I can't get the formula in the data validation of the county to work.
I've got 3 columns of formulas that end up doing what I need, but I'm thinking it could probably be done easier with VBA.
I have 1 book with a sheet I'll call Log & another book with a sheet I'll call Source. On the Log, column E has the first 9 characters of vendor names & /vendor number (ex: EDMUND FI/00250), along with other data out through column P. On Source, the vendor names are in C & a short code for their name is in A.
I need to compare the first 9 characters in Log col E with the first 9 characters in Source col C. When a match is found, I need to return the short code from Source col A. BUT - if there's a duplicate in either Source col C or A, instead I need to return the word VERIFY, preferably with the cell highlighted in red.
Right now, I have, on Source col L:
Code: =MID(C2,1,9) and in source M:
Code: =IF(OR(A2=A1,A2=A3,L2=L1,L2=L3),"VERIFY",A2) This gives me the first 9 characters of the vendor name in L & the short code OR VERIFY in M
Then, in Log col R, I have an array formula:
Code: =VLOOKUP(MID(E4,1,9),'[PRETICKET P ADDRESSES working.xls]Paddress'!$L:$M,2,FALSE)
This gives me either the short code or VERIFY from Source M. Also, sometimes it doesn't find a match & it returns #N/A. Then I have to do Conditional Formatting to make the VERIFY cells red & I thought I'd make the error cells be yellow (although I haven't figured out the CF for that yet)
Is there a better way to do this with VBA? I'm working with Excel 2010; just got it & still figuring it out.
I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.
I give a daily report (contents of this sheet) but I also need to leave this sheet available for anyone to open and change to another date.
I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.
I have a bar chart that was made from table 1 which has the value in it. I have another table, table 2 that has the name corresponding to the value in table 1. I want to color data points in a bar chart with a different color for each name I have in table 2. I also want to give a data label in the data points with the value I have in table 2 instead of the original data label from table 1. Is it possible to do it?
Is there a way to use Data Validation that will pull data from a source list and also be able to type in additional data or just new data in same cell?
I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.
I can still do a pivot report against the 'saved' data. So it must be out there in a file...? I read the function GETPIVOTDATA. Based on the description, It sounds like it would work to rebuild the source data. However the examples given don't see to match up with that. I have tried playing with the command, but I really don't know what I am doing and have had no luck
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve that stored data that the pivot reports are reporting against?
I used to get data from external excel, access files and today tried to put together query to get data from CSV file. While using same source file, I have creted several queries to get data out based on criteria. For some strange reason, same structure queries that did run with excel or access as data source, does not want to work the same way with CSV files.
Here is example of non working query SQL: SELECT Vendors.Vendor, Vendors.Name, Vendors.`Name 2` FROM `Q:FinanceRapporterPSAPRaw`Vendors.csv Vendors WHERE (Vendors.Name Like '%' & ? & '%')
If I enter "London" as a criteria input, it will not work. However, if I enter "ondon" it will find me all values records whre name contains London... Seems like I need to skip first symbol when entering criteria. This is, of course, not something I would like to do.
I have a combobox in which I need data loaded from a column of an excel sheet.
As of now, I am using the below Last = Sheet9.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row With ComboBox1 For Row = 2 To Last .AddItem Sheet9.Cells(Row, 1) Next Row End With Is there any other way to load data?
I have tried putting in the Row Source in the Properties of ListBox1, (A10:A13) but the range is in another worksheet called Codes. So when I run the Form the list box shows the range A10:A13 in the current sheet. I have named the data list SP but when I punch that in it will not accept it in the Row Source. How can I lock in the source data in the list box so it only shows the named range SP.
I want to design a spreadsheet report, but instead of importing the data from an external source, i would like the data to come from another sheet within the same workbook. The goal is that the data sheet will contain only raw data with no formatting, and the report sheet will contain all the formatting.
If there a way to change the souce data so that it changes based on a variable? For example, if a cell's value equals X then use one range and if it is Y then use a different. As far as I can tell you cannot use the "IF" argument in a chart Source field.
One option I came up with is to change the actual data on a worksheet and always have the source data point to that range in the worksheet. The problem is that the source data is not always the same length (Monthly may be 100 columns long while Daily is 1000 columns long - the chart looks starnge).
I have one source spreadsheet, where are columns NAME, DATE. I read these data by ADO to other spreadsheet, where I can change/delete data and then run macro for update data in source spreadsheet. The problem: In source spreadsheet is column "NAME" and column "DATE", with values e.g. "Joseph"; 1.1.1980. I read this data to other spreadsheet, then I delete in it value 1.1.1980. When I run macro Update, it messages error.
Sub UpdateItem ... .Fields.Item(1).value = activecell 'activecell value = "Joseph" If Not isempty(activecell.offset(0,1)) Then .Fields.Item(2).value = activecell.offset(0,1).value Else .Fields.Item(2).value = "" 'I tried Empty and 0 too but when I read data again then, it displays 0.1.1900, nothing works End If ... End Sub
It seems that in source spreadsheet has data in column "Date" format Date and when I try to update data in format String ("") in source spreadsheet by Update macro, it messages error. When I used
.Fields.Item(2).Value = Empty ' or .Fields.Item(2).Value = 0
after rereading data it displays 0.1.1900 What I want to get is that if the cell with date (in other spreadsheet) is empty, the cell in column Date in source spreadsheet after updating will be blank (contains no values).
I try to find a solution (with or without macro) to assign different ranges named "Failure_C..." in a data validation source depending on the value of another data validation list (32 values called)
I started in the Data Validation List Source to fill in IF function but 32 inputs are not accepted and too much caracters in the source.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the souce data for a Pivot Table? Eg if I have the Pivot table looking at Columns A & B lines 1 - 20 and I want the Pivot to also include Column C and lines 21 - 50, how would I do this? for a chart I can just right click and select the "Source Data" option but it seems that this is not available for Pivot Tables.
Everything else in my macro is using R1C1 format for ease of automation. However, I cannot get this to resolve. I am setting the source data for a line chart.
However, if I use A1 format it works just fine.
I am using R1C1 for automation purposes. A1 format will not easily work. I have the interpolated statement in there because the range contains some empty cells. I want excel to fill the line in the chart using interpolation. All the data in the columns(N through R or 14 through 18 in R1C1 format) is contiguous. I have not tried Union, but it seems I should just use this range like I do in the A1 format.
I have used a userform found on this forum (I cannot find the link) that displays row data from a range within a listbox. Unfortunately though you cannot determine the column width. As such I wondered if it was possible to show the data within other listboxes. So for example in listbox1 you can see 5 columns accross (from a range) however one of them is very wide.
Looking at Listbox1 you can only see the firsy 20 characters approximately in each column. Is it possible therefore that once this row of data is selected that the contents of the columns is duplicated in other listboxes on the same userform that can be expanded to accommodate larger text?
