$TC$2:$WX$3
is an indirect range that resides in cell B15. It is constantly changing and the expectation is that the X_Y plot would adjust accordingly. It represents the data range of the chart. The chart does not carry with it any title.
So how do I approach this without using vba? As always any input is highly valued.
For example
=SUM(INDIRECT(C10))
where C10 would contain
="Sheet2:"&"Sheet3!"&"A"&ROW()
always returns #REF!.
However, ="Sheet3!"&"A"&ROW() as the Cell C10 entry will work fine.
I have a sheet which needs to look up one reference and then fill a table with the rest of them.
EG:
Cell A1 contains '0091 911'!$E$2 (cell E2 contains value 100)
Cell A2 contains =indirect(A1) and displays value 100
I need a formula which will auto fill the remaining cells in the table.
eg:
Cell A3 fills to contain '0091 911'!$E$3 (row +1)
Cell B2 fills to contain '0091 911'!$F$2 (column +1)
so it needs to fill the Indirect reference and not =indirect(A1),=indirect(A2)....
I am setting up a spreadsheet for user data entry. I have one sheet set up as a template to enable users to copy the required data header cells to subsequent sheets and (the problem) - to different locations on the subsequent sheets. The template is using validated lists with the criteria drawn from the cell/list directly above the current list. For example, the cell in R11C2 is validated/refering to the range: =Campaign
The cell directly below this is validated/ filtered by: =Indirect(R11C2). This works great in the template, or any subsequent sheet in which the cells are all located in the same row/column. However, when the template is pasted in a higher row, the Indirect refers to R11C2 rather than referencing the cell directly above.
As you would normally use indirect formulas so the cell references don't change. Which that is what I want in the end, but I need to copy them to an indefinite number of cells first and would like to not do it by hand. I have found some solutions to similar questions/problems but cannot figure out how to make them work for me. So, what I am looking to do is this... (I have also attached the spreadsheet for reference)
I have gotten the information in columns A through F on the first sheet to update as rows are added, moved, deleted on the second sheet using Indirect range. Also, I could do this for Column I (Copmleted Proj. Avg. Terminations) but I would have to do it manually (as I began doing in I3, I4 & I5) but that would be time consuming. So I am hoping there is a way I can copy the formula down the cells are updated for the initial copy but then don't update if the referenced cells are moved or deleted.
Using a combination of "Cell" and "Indirect" commands, I can get cell-references (the name, like "A1"), but I can't figure out how to actually DO anything with them.
I keep trying to nest them inside of formulas, but I just can't get it to work. I've attached a sample workbook - there are two tabs.
I have a column, call it column1, with thousands of numbers in it.
What I would like to do is get the min of this range, get the max of this range, and plot in a new column all numbers from the min to the max.
For Example
Column1
1
4
9
3
4
4
5
9
2
2
1 is the min, and 9 is the max
I want a new column, say columnNEW
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
Any clever way of doing this in VBA?
I am importing a text file and plotting some of its contents versus time. The file provides the end time and the step interval. I know that in Matlab you can define a set of values with the start, end, and interval, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with VBA. I have toyed with fill series, but no luck there.
Specifically, the file I'm reading in (a relay event file with voltages and currents) gives the maximum cycles as 15 and the samples per cycle as 16. Therefore, for each voltage or current sample, I need the time to show as 1/16, 2/16, 3/16, ..., all the way to 15 cycles. I have tried to manually do this and record the macro, but after I put in a few x/16s, when I try to extend the formulas down the rest of the cells, instead of continuing the trend (4/16, 5/16, 6/16, etc.), it repeats what I put in first.
I have a chart updating on a weekly basis
a) can i select a whole range without the chart picking up any blank cells or zeros, if so then a lot of my other question will be redundant
b) I only want to show 4 weeks at a time, so when a new column of data is added on, how do i get VBA to shift the range accross 1 to the right e.g.
week 36 37 38 39
Shift to
week 37 38 39 40
I maintain data which gets updated every week. I have a chart associated with this data which I want to get updated automatically. I tried to use dynamic range on the chart and it kinda works. But the issue with my data is that I have data set in a row, followed by a blank cell which is then followed by average of last two weeks. Hence, when I use a dynamic range, it also displays the last value in the row (average), which I don't want to display in my chart.
So what I am looking forward to do is set up dynamic range or any other solution, which automatically updates my chart with weekly sales data without showing the average value in the chart. I have attached sample worksheet here.
I need to plot multiple series in a scatterplot. The problem is that the number of series is user-defined. And also, the number of data poitns in each series is different. I've looked it up already, but a lot of the examples i've seen don't account for the fact that I need to run through a loop and add series into my graph.
In other words, i need a way to select a certain range each time it runs through the loop, and add the data as a series into the chart. Also, the user enters how many series there are, so I use that as a counter
What I want to achieve is a script that would create a new scatter plot of multiple series from a selected block of cell. I found a thread that was similar but what is different from my data is that my x values are different for each series.
The format of the data is in the following format, the first series will the first x,y pair, the 2nd series would be the second x,y pair. I don't know if it'll be an issue but one thing is that the date might be different lengths. For instance, the 3rd series, only has 4 data points, whereas the other series contains 6 data points?
x0.200.400.600.801.001.20
y5.002.501.671.251.000.83
x0.100.200.300.500.701.30
y5.002.501.671.000.710.38
x0.100.300.400.50
y6.672.221.671.33
So essentially, is there a way I can have the script say, select your range, and then graph the selected range as a scatter plot?
I have inherited an Excel workbook in which the formlas all contain cell names (and there are thousands of names in this book). I need to find a way to change from using cell names in a formula back to a standard absolute cell reference but have no idea how to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was trying to assist someone with 3D referencing and summing, but getting stuck on referencing text based sheetnames.
We are trying to sum range A1:A10 in the sheets between the range defined by A1:A2
Now, if the Sheet names were numerically sequenced, eg. Sheet1, Sheet2, etc...then we could use this formula with no problem
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'Sheet"&ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2))&"'!A1:A10"),""))
where A1 and A2 housed the numbers 1 and 2, respectively,
but what if the sheets are text based? Is there a way....say the Sheets were named SheetX, SheetY, SheetZ....
I did some searching on the internet and found samples only with the numeric based sheetnames.
In cell A1 I have the text Testme
Testme is a Named Range
with RefersTo set to:
=Sheet1!$D$3:$D$5
In VBA - How do I
Range("A1").copy Range("D4").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
And D4:D6 will show

This thing is beating me up -- Indirect is likely involved, but,,,
I am trying to develop an Indirect Indirect Validation drop down list. Example, Building - Floor - Room, i.e. Select Building from a Validation drop down list. Then based upon the Building selected, select only the Floors applicable to the Building Selected. I am able to achieve this via an Indirect Validation drop down. However, when I attempt to then select the Rooms applicable to the Floor of the Building I selected, I can not produce an Indirect Validation off a previous Indirect Validation.
In the attachment, I have used Plant - Location - Room. I have name ranged the selections, and have used Validations Lists for Plant, and Indirect Validations for Location. The error occurs where I attempt to do an Indirect Validation for Room.
In the example I have attached there are two sheets, Details and DataTables. There are also a number of named ranges, both static and dynamic, that refer to data on the DataTables sheet. Most of the static ranges were added for debugging purposes. The tables have been shortened for this example.
On the Details sheet column A has a drop down that allows you to select the make of a device. Column B builds its drop down list based on what is selected in column A. The data validation in B2 uses a named dynamic range and the drop down does not work. The data validation in C2 used a named static range and the drop down works.
Column C will fill in the RU value based on what is selected in column B. Cell C3 uses named dynamic range and it does not work. Cell C4 uses named static range and it works.
I would like to used named dynamic ranges if possible so when data is added to the tables the named dynamic ranges will self adjust. Can what I want to do be done?
Dynamic Range.xlsx
I'm trying to use Indirect in a formula where named range refers to multiple non adjacent cells; e.g. ever other cell {A1, A3, A5... etc}; however, when I use indirect, I recieve a #ref error. Replacing the indirect with the actual named range will make the formula work just fine, or using a named range that a continuous range works fine as well. It seems that indirect doesn't like non continuous ranges. ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the simple code below to perform and filter and copy:

"K1:L73"), CopyToRange:=Range("P1:U1"), Unique:=False

However, the CriteriaRange can change depending on which OptionButton the user chooses on a different tab. My reference the range is in Cell N1. So how can I use Indirect to refer the range in Cell N1 instead of the current CriteriaRange of K1:L73?
I have a formula: ='Jan 7-11'!D10. I want to replace the tab name 'Jan 7-11' to change based on the content of F6 (which is a data validation for all tabs in my workbook).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using VB in Excel to write a formula for summing a column of numbers that will vary in length. I have been using the Indirect formula and have the start and end cells of the range identified in another location. My problem is, the macro in vb is sending the Indirect formula to the cells containing the start and end points by using relative functions ie. go across 30 columns and up 10 rows to get start cell. I wanted it to just save the cell location of the start and end points.
EG.
VB formula is: "= SUM(INDIRECT(R[-23]C[27]&R3C29):INDIRECT(R[-23]C[27]&R3C30))"
whereas I just want it to read "=Sum(Indirect(C4&D5):INDIRECT(C4&D6))"
where cell C4 gives the column letter and D5 the row number of the start of the range and C4 and D6 give the column letter and row number of the end of the range.
How would I used the indirect function to reference a named range in the workbook in formula creation.
For instance, if in cell A1 I have entered the text "Sales" which is also a named range in the workbook. Then in cell A2 I tried entering the following formula to sum based on the entry in cell A1 using the indirect funtion. For instance:
=sum(indirect(A1))
In this instance I was hoping this formula would then sum the amounts in the "Sales" named range. And, if I changed the text in cell A1 to "Cost" for instance (another named range in the workbook), it would sum the amounts in the "Cost" named range. Allowing for a dynamic formula based on the entry in cell A1.
I'm using Excel 2007.
I am trying to use the INDIRECT function to look up values on a range of other worksheets. I have a column of data in col A which is essentially a lot of different worksheet names. On each worksheet I need to use VLOOKUP to find a value.
Easier to show formulas. This is an example of what I want to recreate:
=VLOOKUP(O2, test!B3:C13,2,FALSE)
I want to replace the text "test" with the text in column A. So the first INDIRECT formula looks like this:
=INDIRECT("VLOOKUP(O2, " &A1& "!B3:C13,2,FALSE)")
Which to me looks like it should work but I get a #REF! error. I've tried various permutations, e.g. having the INDIRECT part of the formula located in a different place (next to the "test" text) but run in to similar issues.
The formula is =SUMPRODUCT((Group="A")*(Project_Description="Long Term")*(Profile="B")*(INDIRECT(B9)="x"))
B9 through M9 have header text Jan_2012, Feb_2012...Dec_2012. Basically my aim is to get the above formula working before I drag it across so that the named ranges get picked up automatically from the headers.
Jan_2012 thru Dec_2012 are dynamic named ranges using INDEX (and not OFFSET as someone mentioned OFFSET is a volatile function).
The above SUMPRODUCT formula is giving me a #REF! error for the (INDIRECT(B9)="x") part. I know that because when I replace it with (Jan_2012="x") it works fine.
I realized while writing this that it may be because the named range in Jan_2012 is not the same size as that of other arrays. [but it is the same size - I've re-confirmed just now]
B1=Name of WorkSheet
B2=Name of 2nd Worksheet
I am trying to write a sum formula using Indirect so that the end-user can enter the names of the sheets in B1 & B2 (the values are always in cell F5 on each sheet). I thought this would work but it is throwing a REF# error.
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&B1&":"&B2&"'!F5"))
with some added spaces for clarity:
=SUM(INDIRECT(" ' " & B1 & " : " & B2 & " ' ! F5"))
I am doing some work in which I need a very flexible tool. I will be doing regression analysis on thousands of funds at a time. I need to define the range for each fund by a count function that counts the number of monthly returns that are posted. The code I have so far is below (I underlined where the references use variables):
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with very long formulas that reference a whole lot of variables in the same column. I tried naming the cells so that writing of the formula is easier to do. However, I need to copy the column across for other entities of varying nature, and these copied cells refer to the same named cell. Can I name a cell and copy it sideways so that it retains some sort of name with allusion to the column that it is in?
Andrew van Gruting"
I have tried copying a formula with a named range and, as expected, it maintains an absolute reference. Is there a way that he might be able to copy but drop the absolute reference and copy with relative references. Can I place something in front - the equivalent to the $ sign, but rather a relative sign.
I have a workbook with a single worksheet. The worksheet includes some named ranges, which are used in a dynamic chart (so that when I add data, the chart updates).
I want to duplicate worksheet#1 so that I can have worksheets 2, 3, 4 etc.
Thus I can paste new data in the new worksheets, and have all my calculations done.
Naturally, the only probelm is the graph. It is using the named ranges from worksheet #1.
Is there a solution, so that I don't have to re-create my graphs on each worksheet? (each worksheet has varying numbers of rows, AND, I will be updating each worksheet with new data from time to time, thus the need for a dynamic chart)
