Web Query, Stop Formulas Shifting
Sep 21, 2008
I had a sheet that had a web query imported into it which took up columns A to F. The web query varies in length upon every refresh. In columns G onwards i have lots of formulas that read the information from the query to produce results.
When i imported the web query, on some refreshes it has the ability to push my formulas down in certain columns. I'm assuming this is because the length has changed of the web query maybe? Although it can do it on the opening import of the query which i find strange.
I was told the best way around this would be to put my web query on another sheet, however this doesnt appear to have fixed my problem.
Lets say for example #Sheet1!A1 looks at #Sheet2!A1, #Sheet1!A2 looks at #Sheet2!A2 and so on. This will work fine. When the web query is imported into Sheet 2, its data goes down to cell A72. Upon another refresh though, the length will changed and now the data might go down to cell A81. However, #Sheet1!A72 will have changed its formula to look at #Sheet2!A81 and my formulas on Sheet 1 will now read as follows:
#Sheet1!A69 = #Sheet2!A69
#Sheet1!A70 = #Sheet2!A70
#Sheet1!A71 = #Sheet2!A71
#Sheet1!A72 = #Sheet2!A81 <----- Problem!
Basically the problem with this is Sheet 1 will not be including Sheet 2 A72:A80 which i also need.

I use a query table to import data into a workbook which works fine
With wsActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=sQueryString, _
Destination:=wsActiveSheet. Range("A1"))
.Name = CStr("main.html?LANG=de&search=true&searchterm=" & sIdentifier & "_1")
.PreserveFormatting = True
.BackgroundQuery = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertEntireRows 'xlInsertDeleteCells
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
.WebTables = "9,14"
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableRedirections = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
One of the fields I import has a value like 100:01 or 10:01 or 01:01 or other combinations (the above ones are the most frequent ones).
Unfortunately excel always converts this field into a date and a time but this is not what I want.
Is there any way to stop excel doing this? I tried to work around it with the text property e.g. formating it to text after I imported the data and formating the entire sheet to use text before

when I apply an = 'Worksheet1'!A1. formula to a cell, the respective cell will contain a zero. Is there any way that the cell can be shown as completely blank and still hold this formula?

I have a list that I have validated as a list with a blank on top to enable data override.
I have a formula that uses the content of this cell, c7 say, to perform so vlookup function and return a result. However, when the cell c7 is blank( meaning the blank cell in the list is selected), the result is #N/A.
I am trying to have that result be a blank.
The formula is as follows, assuming c7 is the data containing cell:
=IF(OR(LEFT($C7,1)="W",VLOOKUP($C7,Table2B_1,7)>9,ISBLANK(C7))," ",VLOOKUP($C7,Table2B_1,2))

I have this macro that adds whatever formula that is in L1 to the same cell down 66 rows. But it doesn't work like the way I want it to because it's stopping when it sees empty cells...so the problem is that my colum is actually completely empty...so how do I get it to stop when I want to?
Sub every66rows()
Dim i As Integer
i = 1
With Range("L1")
Do Until IsEmpty(.Offset(66 * i))
.Copy .Offset(66 * i)
i = i + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet that holds the NHL schedule for the season. (See thumbnail)
In the picture I've highlighted the formula I use to determine how many games each team has over the next 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. What I've been doing is deleting the column for each day after that day has passed. (So tomorrow, I'll delete column K, and all the other days will move up one. Sunday will become column K)
My problem is that the formula =7-COUNTIF($K3:$Q3,"—") in cell G3 will read =7-COUNTIF($K3:$P3,"—") after I have deleted Saturday, and thus will only count 6 days worth. (The 14, 21 and 28 columns will only count 13, 20 and 27 as well.) Is there any way I can write this formula so that it stays as K3:Q3? Right now each day I modify the 4 formulas for the 1st team and then copy/paste then over the other 30, but this is rather tedious.

I have a worksheet "Expenses" with columns Month, Category, Expense, Amount. There are four categories and, obviously, 12 months.
In the workbook is another worksheet, "Totals" which lists the months across the top, and the categories down the left. Then I have array formulas in each cell, that look like this:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$2:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$2:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$2:$E$990,0),0) )
This works fine, until people start moving cells around in the Expenses sheet. Say they sort everything they've put in by month, and then they want to move July up to the top because it's the start of our fiscal year. So say they have six expenses for July and they cut and insert them in at B2. Suddenly the formula now says:
=SUM(IF(Expenses!$B$8:$B$990="July",IF(Expenses!$C$8:$C$990="Acquisition",Expenses!$E$8:$E$990,0),0) )
I thought by using absolute cell references instead of relative ones, I could avoid this problem, but that's apparently not the case. I tried changing the cell references in the formulas to relative ones but it still happens then too.

This is far too complicated for me to program.
Ideally, if at all possible, I want a macro that will align every row of my data by the cell which has the value closest to 20. i.e.
8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30
9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42
5 10 10 10 12 10 14 50 54 59 62 72
1 10 40 42 44 46 48 50 56 48 62 70
would become...
8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30
........9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42
5 10 10 10 12 10 14 50 54 59 62 72
.....................1 10 40 42 44 46 48 50 56 48 62 70
As you can see, it looks quite tricky.
If it's too complicated, I can do it by hand (very time-consuming) and a simple macro button would help. I'd need something that will select the whole row of the active cell, and shift it all one space to the right. I'd have another button doing it to the left.

Any way to automatically shift the numbers in a calculation range without having to manually enter for =SUM every time.
The spreadsheet shows a listing of the 20 most recent golf scores in one column, and the other column adds the best 10 of the most recent 20. Currently I am doing this by hand, and just entering the sum in the top cell. Is there a way once I enter the newest score for excel to read that and automatically adjust the formula?

I'm looking to create a program that enables the macro to run with placing the desired cell blocks (A3:F12) from Sheet1 into Sheet2, and when i press the shortcut key again, it automatically places the cell blocks underneath the previous data that was pasted in the Sheet2. The goal of this is to keep a history of the data into the Sheet2.
I'm new to this, especially with VBA but is there any possible way to create this type of macro program?

I have an array defined from 1 to 100; however, only six elements of the array have a value. I need to add a value in between the ones already in the array. I have tried this snippet already with no luck.
Code:
For Z = a To MinPos
WOList(Z + 1).F1 = WOList(Z).F1
Next Z
WOList(MinPos).F1 = CalcValue
A is defined as the total number of elements with values in the array (6 values in this example). MinPos is defined as the location of which the value needs to be inserted (lets say index 2). I tried to shift all the elements to the right one, and add the number into the array.

I need a macro to shift column data to the top row for a given cell range sharing common data in row A.
I need to get from this:
Name Fruit Meat Dairy Bakery Alex Apples Alex Milk Alex Bacon Alex Bread Bill Steak Bill Eggs Bill Chicken Bill Oranges
Carl Butter Carl Cake Carl Milk Carl Bananas Carl Pork Carl Peaches Carl Chicken
To this:
Name Fruit Meat Dairy Bakery Alex Apples Bacon Milk Bread Bill Oranges Chicken Eggs Bill Steak Carl Bananas Chicken Butter Cake Carl Peaches Pork Milk
It would be nice if the shifting would sort the data as well.

I have a challenge for any macro wizard out there - this is something I really need and I'd be happy to reimburse whomever can help with an iTunes gift card or something.
I regularly receive a dataset such as the one you see here on the tab called 'Data comes in varying # of rows' (either link should work):
[url]
[url]
The dataset comes each time with a different number of rows, and what I need to do is combine all the 'Issue' and 'Issue Description' columns (there are 8 total) into just two columns.
I think this should be relatively easy for someone who has a better knowledge of macros by simply copying and pasting the data on top of itself (as I have done on the next tab called 'Want to change to this format'), and then simply deleting from the second section the 'Issue #1' and 'Issue #1 Description' columns, and shifting all the data left by two columns.
If you repeat this process for the third and fourth sections (for the third, you must delete 'Issue #1' and 'Issue #1 Description' and 'Issue #2' and 'Issue #2 Description' and shift the data left, while for the fourth you must delete Issues and Issue Descriptions 1 to 3 and shift the fourth Issue and Description to the left), you will end up with the columns A, B, C, and D as I have on the 'Want to change to this format' tab. (The extra columns after column D should all be deleted.)
Finally, the 3 extra header rows that are now at the top of the bottom three copied-and-pasted sections should all 3 be deleted.

I have been trying to produce a spreadsheet that works out the correct gear and rpm depending on shift limits across six gears.
In column M I have all of the rpm values for 1st gear, which I require in column S until the shift limit for 1st gear is reached, now I wish to have the rpm values for 2nd gear (Obtained now from column N) displayed in column S up until the 2nd gear rpm limit is reached and so forth until 6th gear. I have tried an IF() statement down the entirety of column S but this only seems good for taking into account two columns at a time, whereas I require six all dependent on the respective gear shift rpm. Also the position of the shift rpm will change relative to other functions in the spreadsheet, so I can't simply have different IF() statements lined up appropriatly in column S.
So if my shift rpms are in column B I wish column S to read column M until M>B1 then it will need to choose values from column N until N>b2 where it then picks column o and so on.

I was wondering if there was a way to create a two cell dynamic range that doesn't expand, but instead shifts.
The cells that I'm interested in are always at the bottom of the column of data. For example, the first two cells I want as my range are C13 and D13. Then, for my next use of the range, I would like it to include C14 and D14.

I began to ponder a way to copy down cells so that the copying of the formulas results in references as shifting horizontally instead of vertically. One particular reason that this occurred to me had to do with my attempting to use Excel to make more orderly text copied from Adobe.
So, for example, if I copied text from Adobe, I would paste it in Excel. Thirty lines of text would past vertically into a column, from Row A1 to Row A30, with each line of text in its own row. I wanted to figure out a way so that in adjacent columns, I could put it so that I would have a set of formulas reading in =A1 in Column C cell/row 1, =A2 in Column D cell 1, =A3 in Column E cell/row 1, =A4 in Column F cell/row 1, =A5 in Column G cell/row 1, and so forth. I realized that if I copied this down, in the second row, the result would entail references to A2, A3, A4, A5, A6. I would prefer that the references update to A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10.

I am looking for some code that will use A,B,C as filters to find duplicate cells, and if duplicate found, there should be deleted the duplicated row (but not only the row from a,b,c column, but the whole 8 cells from that row - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H).
As filter I would like to be used A,B,C columns.

my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

I have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!

how to shift data in a column down multiple rows while in an IF statement. I am assuming you cannot just simply repeat the insert cell formula.
Here is my code - it's ugly but it was working when I just needed it to move down one cell:
lastrow = Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
For i = 2 To lastrow
Range("B" & i).Select
If Range("B" & i).Value = Range("B" & i).Offset(-1, 1).Value Then

I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.

I have the code below that clears colums B-J and L-N in whatever row you activate a cell in. When a row gets cleared, how do I shift all the other rows up to eliminate blank rows in between the data real-time? I've deactivated the cut function already since this messes up references in the worksheet, so it would have to only use copy, paste, and clearcontents functions. Also, I don't want to DELETE any rows, just essentially shift the blank rows to the bottom. So when a row is cleared, all others shift up and the blank one goes to the end of the data that is available for data entry, so rows 17 to 116 are always available. But it must check to make sure that B-J and L-N are ALL blank, otherwise some wanted rows with one piece of information might get cleared. So at any given time, my range will always go from row 17 to 116. This is Excel 2007. Here is the code I have to clear rows that can be built upon.

I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
