Writing Formula In Dynamic Number Of Cells?
Feb 13, 2014I'm trying to create a "master file" that can be used later (a tool other uses can pull up) on with datasets of varying size. I'd like to "data dump" a table of individuals with subsequent columns of various characteristics, then automatically compute various things. So then a user can dump their data into my file and "get the answer" immediately. I've seen some stuff on running one calculation on a dynamic number of cells, but let me illustrate why this is different. I want to perform a dynamic number of calculations, see below:
Each row (record) is a person, with some characteristics (numerical). Ultimately I have a few columns on the end with some computations (Excel formulas) I'd like to do. I'd like to do this for each person (that is, each row) in that data that I dump in. But the thing is, ahead of time we don't know how many people will be dumped in, and that changes (because I'd like this to be a tool...). So how do I tell Excel to compute things if there is a person in that row, but do nothing and leave cells blank if there isn't a person? Ideally I don't have millions of ifs testing for blank cells either. I'd like to do this with Excel functions only and not VBA, if at all possible.
Writing Number As Text To A Cell
Jun 16, 2013Process is that I read in lines from a text file and then based on a filter I then write some those values to a sheet. One of the values I transfer is always 5 characters with a trailing space. The first four may be all numbers (e.g. "0013 ") or a mix (e.g. "013G "). When I write these to the spreadsheet the ones without letters always end up as a number (e.g. "0013 " become 13). How do I force the cell to show all values as text in the cell just like I read it in. In fact, I'd prefer stripping out the trailing space but it's not critical. That I can do (TRIM).

Apr 8, 2014I have a reference written as a string in cell "AS4", the string is results!A4
I want to write that same reference in cell "as5". I have written the following

However, cell "as5" returns the string as =results!'A4', with single quotes around A4
Therefore the reference isn't working.
Writing A Formula To Cell
Jul 20, 2006Until now, I have been using the terrifically inefficient way of writing in a formula in a cell and copy pasting the value in my VBA
Easy example (concatenating):
Sheets(Sheet2).Select
Range("D1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=""Data collected on ""&TEXT(NOW(),""dd/mm/yyyy"")&"" at ""&TEXT(NOW(),""hh:mm"")"
Range("D1").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
More complex example (with IF statement):
Range("D2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(LEFT(RC[-3],13)=""No list found"",""Data requested for ""&update!R[2]C[-1]&""/""&update!R[2]C&""/""&update!R[2]C[1]& "" out of range"",""Data downloaded for ""&update!R[2]C[-1]&""/""&update!R[2]C&""/""&update!R[2]C[1]& """")"Range("D2").Select...............
Slow Writing To Large Number Of Cells
Mar 1, 2007I heard there is an efficient way of writing large amounts of data at once to a worksheet. My program is writing alot of data (e.g. 600+ items in each row) and takes over an hour to run because it writes to each cell one-at-a-time. I seached this forum and couldn't find the answer. Here is an excerpt from an old 1998 article by Dermot Balson and William Mercer that used code to write to cells in large chunks but it doesn't work for me - I get a method failed message.
'to read in
Dim A As Variant 'MUST be variant, no brackets
A = Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) 'reads 10x20 array starting at range SomeRange
'(NB I've used Resize above but you can specify a range of cells any way you want)
'to write back to sheet
Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) = A
'A can be any data type but MUST be two dimensional even if you are only writing one
'column or row - first dimension is used for rows, and the second for columns
'this can be slow - see third question below for workaround..
Here is the link to the article: http://www.avdf.com/apr98/art_ot003.html. A more detailed explanation how this trick works
Writing Formula Which Refers To Different Pages In Workbook?
Dec 29, 2013I'm working with a multi-page workbook I use for work scheduling purposes.
This is how Sheet1 is set-up:
A
B
1
Name
[Code]....
In the cells in Column D I have used the following formula =IF('Sheet1'!B2="Yes","Holiday",""). What I have realized is that this formula is quite limited. For example not all 12 colleagues work everyday and they work different shifts on different days- each day's data is sorted so that the colleagues are organized primarily by Shift start time and then alphabetically by name- consequently if I used this formula across the entire workbook the Sheet1B2 data may not be consistently referencing the same colleague.
I was wondering if there was a way to amend the formula so that if a colleague is marked as 'Yes' in Sheet1, 'Holiday' could be inserted in Column D in the rows corresponding to where the colleague's name appears?
#NAME- Error Results When Writing Formula To Spreadsheet From VBA
Apr 25, 2006When I am writing a formula that includes a lookup, it returns the # NAME? error in the spreadsheet. If I delete the trailing ), retype it, and hit enter then the formula returns the correct value. How do I get the formula to work correctly as it is written to the sheet from VBA!
Here's the line of code that writes the formula to the worksheet:
TBox.Range("A3").Offset(i, 3).FormulaR1C1 = "= ROUNDUP((8-(VLOOKUP(RC[-3],K:L,2,FALSE)/1.2))/RC[-1]*1.2,0)"
Question With Writing A Formula That Can Pick Out Words With 3 Letters
Jan 8, 2009I have a question with picking out certain word in the column. I am trying to write a formula that would allow me to pick out names that has first 3 alphabetical letters from the columns. The column has a lot of different names, but the one that I would want my automation to pick out is similar to this, C, AR, AA-103, BG-2056, HJE-1100, etc. However, in the same column, I have other words like elevtar, hsvte, lvnrm, etc. that I do not want my formula to pick out.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWriting Formula To Calculate Monthly Returns Based On Annual Growth Rate
Jul 10, 2014I have a model that makes projections based on annual growth rates. However, I need to evaluate the data based on monthly intervals. With an 8% return on an investment of $1,000,000 my ending balance at the end of the year should be $1,080,000 and in year 2 it would be $1,166,400 and so on. In order to evaluate the monthly data I need each month in year 1 to be based off $1,000,000, so it would be 8%/12=.006666% or $6,666.66 per month. The next year would be based off $1,000,000 + (6,666.66*12) = $1,080,000 and each month would be $7,200.

Excel 2013 :: Formula To Auto Delete Number In Dropdown List When Number Appears In Another Cell
Apr 27, 2014I'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.

Userform Selected Date Is Transposing Month And Day When Writing To Cell
Dec 11, 2012I've created a User Form to input data on a dashboard where you can select a date from a dynamic list of dates. The list of dates is calculated using:
Code:
=(TODAY())-WEEKDAY((TODAY()),1)+2
The other dates are based on this date -7.
The User Form code:
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim emptyRow As Long
'Make Sheet30 Active
[Code]....
This works perfectly for any date except dates from December. 3/12/12 (3rd Dec) turns to 12/3/12 (12th Mar) when it's copied to the cell. The same happens for 10/12/12 - becomes 12th October instead of 10th December.

View 4 Replies View RelatedExcel 2003 :: Conditional Formatting Not Working And Cannot Change Colour Of A Cell Or Writing?
Sep 23, 2013Excel 2003
On one of our computers at work, Excel is acting especially strange. The conditional formatting in Excel on one of our computers is not working. In addition, we cannot fill a cell with any color or change the color of the writing. We can click a color for the letters and type it in, but immediately after another cell is highlighted, the writing goes black again. When we try to highlight multiple cells with the cursor, the cells are black instead of the normal color. This happens to not just spreadsheets that are new, but existing spreadsheets on our shared drive from only this one computer as well. No other computers are affected this way. All other computers show the spreadsheets fine and do not have any functionality issues.

Oct 2, 2009I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.
Text In Cell Then Formula To Put Particular Number In Adjacent Cell
Feb 16, 2014I have text in column A of either "xxx" or "yyy"
I'm looking for a formula so that If

I wish to take the value from column B and add to the end of the formula in column A. For instance my column A would contain the following: "=1200+6595+2599+275"

What Formula To Use To Double Number That Is In Another Cell
Mar 5, 2014What formula do I use to double a number thats in another cell.
I need the formula to go into Column AC from the list of numbers that are in Column W
So for example if the number listed in W2 says 8 I need the column in AC2 to read 16 and when the next number down from that says in W3 -24 I need the column in AC3 to say -48 and so on.
I want to be able to drag the formula down the column (AC) so it picks up all the numbers in Column W3 and doubles each and every one of the numbers all the way down the page thousand of rows down.
So what ever number weather it's a plus or minus number I want it to double itself and have the number read out right next to it in the AC column to it's right.
