Absolute Column And Relative Row Not Working In Formula?
Mar 15, 2014
I have a below formula which extracts the v and number attached to it I would like to copy this across all columns and change row for each column. So for example 1st column reference will be B4, the second column would have a reference B5 and so on, it's probably worth to mention that cells I am referencing to are in other sheet hence why there's Ref! before B4 is this why absolute column and relative row not working?
I'm working on my first real macro - so I'm a greenhorn. I've spent a few hours trying to research a solution, but most threads are too technical for me so I'm hoping someone can really help me out.
I am trying to use a formula that references a cell that changes day to day from when I use the macro. I need to use a formula which grabs from a cell in a non concrete location. Let me try and show you what I mean.
using a macro im trying to paste in a sum formula, however this will be pasted onto different sheets and the number of records will be different for each so i cannot use absolute locations. the only constant is that all ranges will start in row I9. when it runs the following code
it fills in =SUM('I8':I13) how can i make it insert it without the ' ' around the I9? and how can i select the two cells? (again, cannot be absolute..)
I am migrating a bookkeepping spreadsheet from Quattro v12 (c2001) to Excel 2007 and have hit a stone wall over relative 3-D references.
In this workbook each sheet holds data for one month, and this includes some lagging-12-month calculations -- that is, summing a range on a single cell for the preceding 12 sheets (including this one).
Unexpectedly, this formula: =ISUM('201206:201305'!M6)
gives absolute references, even though I put in no dollar signs after the sheet names. This means it gives the wrong answer when copied to the next sheet to start a new month.
I can find no reference at all to converting the above formula from absolute to relative reference.
For some reason Absolute $ or INDIRECT is not working inside my formula when I add a row to my chart. Formula keeps adjusting.
Here is my formula...=IFERROR(LARGE(IF($B$5:$B$50=$K108,$A$5:$A$50),1),"")
$B$5:$B$50 goes to $B$6:$B$51 AND $A$5:$A$50 goes to $A$6:$A$51..... it can't do that, throws my counts out, needs to stay in this range B5:B50 and A5:A50 when I add a row to chart
I have a list of values in column A, and want to display in column B, in the cell where the cursor is when the macro is started (let's call it Bn), the sum of values (An:An-11), where n can be any row where there are values to be added. The following works fine.
I'm using the following formula: = LOOKUP($H5,I27:I32,J$27:J$32)- SUMIF(H5:H18,H5,J$4:J4). It's returning an incorrect value of "0". If I click in the formula bar, then click on the "fx" button & bring up the "Function Arguments" window. This gives a formula result of "4" (the correct value). Why is the cell value not the same? Are the formulas unreliable or volatile
I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. One of the worksheets has a live data feed for stock updates. I extract data from the live feed (it's in multiple sentences) and pull it into 6 columns. In another worksheet, I pull those 6 columns into the sheet through the use of Index / Match. That second sheet has additional formulas that essentially analyze the data. As the data refreshes, the existing data moves down the column.
What I didn't think about was the fact that at times, a stock may be listed several times because different brokers are offering updates. Because I used Index / Match, it will look for the first match from the top and display that data in the relevant columns. Unfortunately, some of the data needs to stay with the matching row (and stock ticker) but because of the way I wrote the formulas in Index / Match, it just finds the first matching target and displays that data.
I can correct this by using an absolute reference ($) but I can't find a way to "copy down" formulas using absolute references. I also have one column of cells that contain 1 absolute reference and one relative reference.
I'll re-write this manually if I have to but I have 1,800 cells to change.
To simplify matters each day is exactly 10 rows (including header).
I already have code in column D that populates each D row IF it is the first unique occurance of column B for each day. The forumla in column E for rows 2-10 put a daily total by each unique occurance.
The problem: Since I am using absolute references in E2-E10 to contain the totals for that day if I copy E-2 -> E10 to E12-E20 the totals will be incorrect.
If I use relative references in the formula it changes the range for the day which is also produces incorrect totals.
Question:
How would I copy the formulas in column E to the addtional days so that the ranges follow for the specific 10 row day that they are intended?
I'm trying to create a macro using Tools/Macro/ Record a New Macro. I need to record in the relative mode, but I cannot find the Relative/Absolute button. I have gone to Tools/Macro/Stop Recording but it only allows me to stop recording. I am on excel 2002
I have a Formula = SUMIF('Master List'!B3:B190,AE197,'Master List'!AG3:AG190) When I copy this formula the next line is as Follows =SUMIF('Master List'!B4:B191,AE197,'Master List'!AG4:AG191) Is there something I can do to in order to make so that when I copy the formula is would read =SUMIF('Master List'!B3:B190,AE198,'Master List'!AG3:AG190). Elliott Auto Merged Post;Nevermind I used the formula = SUMIF('Master List'!$B$3:$B$190,AE197,'Master List'!$AG$3:$AG$190)
I've read several threads about switching between relative, absolute, and mixed references across several cells however these solutions seem to result in formula with all relative or all absolute or all mixed.
I need to change the formula in lots of cells with a mix of types of reference. e.g. I need to change "$E$4*AD$2" to "$E4*$AD$2" & would prefer not to have to go though each of the cells with F4!
How to change from absolute references to relative references.
Example : ws.Range("G" & NextRow).Formula = "=" & Range("H" & NextRow).Address & "+" & ws.Range("I" & NextRow).Address This code return the absolute references---> =$H$365+$I$365 , and i want change to relative references, like this ---> =H365+I365
I have a simple count formula which is suppose to be absolute. =COUNT($L5:$V5) and works till I add a column via a macro. Macro adds a new column at column M then inserts data. My problem is when I check the formula after macro it changes to =COUNT($M5:$W5) I thought using the $ sign means Don't change?
I want my column to be populated by formula using VBA. Let's say on row1, the formula is = SUMIF(mysheet!$L:$L,$A1&C$1&"09",mysheet!$M:$M). And on row 2, the formula is =SUMIF(mysheet!$L:$L,$A2&C$1&"09",mysheet!$M:$M). And on row 3, the formula is =SUMIF(mysheet!$L:$L,$A3&C$1&"09",mysheet!$M:$M). And this is done up to the last row. How do I do this?
Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.
I have encountered some difficulty in modifying a macro I wrote into what I need. I created a macro that searches a column (Column C) for a cell value of, "stop", and then it copies everything above that cell and pastes it onto another sheet. In the sample data set that I was using, "stop" first occurred in cell C541, so the macro copies C1:C540 and pastes it onto another sheet. The problem is that the macro created an absolute reference to C540. What I desire is for the macro to use the 'Find' function to locate the first occurrence of, "stop", offset one cell above that cell, and then reference the active cell (which was positioned by these last two steps) in the range that should be copied. Basically, I'm hoping to have cells C1 through the active cell copied and then pasted onto another sheet.
I have a report that I run off a database and extract to Excel.
It has 3 fields: Title; FirstName; LastName. For example sake lets say they are in columns A, B, C. Now in D I have a fieldname of FullName and in D2 onwards the formula: =A2&" "&B2&" "&C2.
Now I currently manually type the formula and drag it down to the same row as the last entry in the first 3 columns so that I get the full title in one cell.
I wanted to know how I could enter the the formula above in column D so that it automatically does this for me?
I tried to record a Macro as a test for column D setting the field name in D1 and the formula in D2 and got the following:
I set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
I have this LONG formula in a cell (J895). When I copy and then paste it to J937 I would expect it to act RELATIVE in respect to the rows on the same sheet. But instead, it pastes the same formula, like an ABSOLUTE....
I'm trying to do is delete a row of chosen cells in my form (form is locked with a password) using a macro then return back to the first cell below the deleted row. When I run the macro what's happening is that it's returning back to the cell chosen while writing the macro (which is at the very top A7). So if I'm several rows below A7, it deletes the row and then returns all the way back to the top of the form causing the user to have to scroll back down to where they were
how to get either the absolute row or the absolute column of a cell.
Suppose the active cell is H27. If we use:
ActiveCell.Address we will get $H$27
How can we get either $H or $27 only assigned to a variable let it be MyVar.
Please keep in mind that converting the $H$27 to a string and then making string manipulations is not accepted, unless of course it's the only way to go.
Also it would be nice if I get answers on how to get the relative address column/row portions only, too. Like H or 27.
Another tip is that using .Column returns a number, not a letter.
I currently have a workbook (Unconfirmed Application Audit 02) which is the result of an audit of applications on PCs. I have come up with a macro which will insert new columns into the sheet and fill those columns with data, should the application listed, have a replacement specified in the AppRM file. The macro works fine for column G, in that it pulls through the new software manufacturer name but column H should pull through the new product name and I should display the new product version and they don't. To me, it looks like the exact same formula in each column apart from the column reference to get the information from.
I have code for auto insert row, when i m getting to new row column Q formula not working
remove the auto generate serial number in column column A, only i want to insert auto with column Q formula to work.
find enclosed a worksheet for your ref.
Please see the below auto insert code; Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim O As Range Set O = Range("O:O") If Intersect(Target, O) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Application.EnableEvents = False roow = Target.Row Cells(roow + 1, 1).Value = Cells(roow, 1).Value + 1 Cells(roow + 1, 2).Select Rows(Target.Row + 2).Insert Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
