Assigning A Number To A Particular Piece Of Data?
Dec 11, 2008
How do I go about assigning a number to a particular piece of data? To give a simple example of what I'm trying to do, and what I envision, I'll pretend I'm building a sandwich.
1=white
2=wheat
3=ham
4=turkey
5=roast beef
6=lettuce
7=tomato
8=mayo
9=mustard
10=cheese
So, someone could come along and build their sandwich, ham/turkey/tomato/mayo on white bread. Excel would then recognize that 1+3+4+7+8=23
23=The American (the name of the sandwich, which I've already assigned a variable to)
I'm using the sandwich model because its a lot simpler than what I'm attempting to do.

I have a spreadsheet like the one below. The data is just a bunch of 1s but they are in specific cells:
A1
A2
A3
A4 1
A5 1
A6
A7
A8 1
A9
A10
I need to calculate the number of rows between the first piece of data and the last. In the above example the answer would be A8-A4 = 4 Rows.
I am thinking I need an array that searches for the first data point, then returns the cell ID, does the same for the last data point then subtracts the higher cell id from the lower.

I am involved in a software conversion that is taking 4 full time folks over 5 weeks to clean up and assign an alpha-numeric sequential number to each vendor, client. Each scrubber is reviewing an excel spreadsheet containing the names, addresses, FID, telephone, etc. of our vendors and customers. This information is being pulled from 2 separate sources. We are assigning a BP # to the main office location and not retiring that one. then we go on to identifying the dups. All dups get a Y to be retired, but if they have a different address then the main one, we place a Y to bring that address over under that BP#.
Ultimately, we end up with 2 systems combined into one dumping all old numbers assigned and giving each vendors, customers, etc. a new BP# that may have muliptple addresses.
How can we assign a alpha numeric number without going through each individual line...over 900,000 of them to do. Key is to identify duplicate addresses and duplicate names. Some names might be RK Electrical or Robert King Electrical but the address will be duplicated usually.

I'm looking for a formula that shows one piece of data but only if another criteria is met. Eg Column A1:A:100 show a piece of paperwork has been issued and column E1:E100 show the area that it's been issued to (North, South, East, Central)
I have a blank work sheet showing various % of things being late as a whole but also want to break this down into the four areas.

I am using a vlookup and have a problem. I am assigning a category to an item number based on the first two characters of the item number. For example item number 60123 would equal scrap because of the first two characters of 60. But the item number can begin with either a number or letter. Here is the formula I am using that works for item numbers that begin with numbers:
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(E2,2)),Sheet3!A:B,2,FALSE)
It works fine until I reach a item number that begins with a letter, then I get the dreaded #Value error. If I take the value out of the formula then it works for the letter based number items but not for the number based item numbers.

I have a spreadsheet. it's not a big spreadsheet, it's not a complicated spreadsheet.
It links to another which is stuffed full of pivot tables and offset/match/index's.
For whatever reason the simple summary sheet regularly corrupts itself, i.e. when you close it Excel crashes (using 2003 on XP), it recovers but links are corrupted and when you open the last saved original that's corrupted too (it says data corruption has happened).
So I've added a piece of code which can recreate the corrupted spreadsheet from the corrupted version (it changes each month so a standard template won't work).
I'd like to not install an add-in on peoples PCs with the recovery code, but I can only do that if I can replicate the VBA in the new file.
can a piece of code copy a module of VBA from one workbook to another?

I have a spreadsheet that has several buttons on that run code using the cells around the code for parts of the data. eg
ColumnA1 ColumnB1 ColumnC1 Button1
ColumnA2 ColumnB2 ColumnC2 Button2
I want the buttons to run a seperate piece of code to start, but then all buttons run a similar piece of code at the end. I am hoping to be able to pass a variable from the first piece of code each button runs into the section of code that all share (which I have done as a seperate macro)

I need to add something to my macro to delete a sheet if it doesn't have more than 40 rows of data. If it has more than that, it needs to do a whole bunch of stuff to it. I've already got the whole bunch of stuff written, I'm just not sure how to do the if function. I took a stab at it, but it wants the count to be an object. I am not very good at writing code.
Code:
Dim count As Integer
Set count = "COUNT('33M & 33RUL'!A:A)"

I have a table with average temperatures(120,125,130...220) on the vertical axis and equipment sizes across the horizontal access (size 1,2,3...11). At the intersections is the amount of heat given off the equipment. This table is used as a reference for another sheet in the same workbook.
Basically what the sheet is for is to look up the average temperature of a piece of equipment (given the size and exact heat given off). In order to do this, I need to interpolate using the 2 closest energy values and their associated temperatures. There's a better explanation in the file and it makes for sense when you're looking at it. Attached is the table.

VBA to loop through all the cells, or an active selection, and if it finds a cell with a formula that starts with "=VLOOKUP" or "GETPIVOTDATA", then copy and paste values for those cells. If it comes across a cell that starts with "=SUM" then it leaves it as is. I've been looking for way to insert a wildcard to make this work, but can't seem to find anything.

I would like to assign a value to a row so I can enter different quantities in a cell in that row, and then sum the total of multiple rows.
Example;
I want to add up c3-c10, d3-d10, e3-e10. I want to make row3=$4, row4=$5, row5=$6 etc.
So c3, d3, e3, f3 cells will have different totals ex; I type 10 in c3, 12 in d3 and 15 in e3... but they are values of $4, so
When I sum up a column c3 will actually represent $40, c4=$48, e3=$60 and so on.
Another example;
row3=$4 and row4=$5
i type 10 in c3, and type 5 in c4.
the sum of c3 and c4 = $65
How I assign a value to a row?

I've been doing a very simple table for my father's bass club. The club has one tournament a month and the 2 lowest weights are dropped. The table has a column of names on the left hand side, beside the name is 12 columns for one weight per month, right of that is a sum of the fisherman's catch weight in column O and to the far right is an equation that removes the 2 lowest weights =O4-(SMALL(C4:N4,1)+SMALL(C4:N4,2))
In the past I have put a 0 if someone didn't fish. He has asked me if it's possible to put DNF for Did Not Fish in lieu of a 0. This way they have that information and know how many people fished and caught nothing versus how many didn't fish. I need to know how to assign DNF a value of 0 for the whole table so that I can still drop the 2 lowest weights

I have a column with names (repeated names by month). There are about 3700 of them spread over 12 month. so it's about 300 names per month.
Is it possible to assign an ID (a number) to specific names?
So let's say - John Smith will have ID 1 (for example), and will always get this ID?

I have a problem with a spreadsheet I am working on.
When a user clicks on column N in the sheet, I have a yes/no message box open asking if they would like to create an invoice for a customer, which opens an external spreadsheet.
The problem I have is that I can't seem to get the message box to perform seperate functions for each button (open the external spreadsheet 'for yes' OR Close the message box 'for no). I can only assign one funtion between the two buttons.
The code I have is as follows:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("N:N")) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Do you want to create an invoice for this customer?", vbYesNo
If response = vbYes Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:=("H:Copy of Support Service Charges Form.xlsx")
[Code] .....

I have a table that needs headers assigned to it. I have copied a link to view the example spreadsheets. The first sheet has the table and the second sheet has the headers. The code is designed to go to sheet 1 see what file name is being used and assign the header to the file name. Each file has two columns of data for Location 1 and Location 2, but have the same file name so it's assigns the first header, but ignores the second header. How to fix it so that it assigns it by the file name and also if it's Location 1 data or Location 2 data.

VB:
Code:
Sub FindHeaders()
Dim iRowH, iColH, iRowD, iColD As Integer
Dim strHeader, strData, strTitle As String

I have a number of cells which are connected to various formulas. EX. A1 = 7. Well I want a formula in A2 which can look at A1 and if A1 = 5-6, then A2 = 1, if A1 = 7-8, then A2 =2, if A1 = 9-10, then A2 = 3, if A1 = 11-12, then A2 = 4. And so on.

I am trying to write a code for simulating a stock price using geometric brownian motion. I have the function part down as follows:
Public Function SimStock(Initial_Stock_Price As Double, _
Expected_Return As Double, _
Volitility As Double, _
End_Time_Days As Double, _
Number_of_Steps) As Double
SimStock = Initial_Stock_Price * Exp((Expected_Return - Volitility ^ 2 / 2) * (Number_of_Steps / End_Time_Days) * NRnd2() * Sqr((Number_of_Steps / End_Time_Days)))
End Function
Now what i need to do is to apply this to an array. so that when i run the sub it will simulate prices from today up to some number of days that i specify. This number of days will be equal to "End_Time_Days" which is part of my function. Furthermore the simulation has to be such that it uses the above formula for the first entry but then replaces "Initial_Stock_Price" with the result of the preceding entry in each subsequent entry.

I have ranked the times of races for 30 participants. The results are in a
column. I want to display the points given in the next column. The only
points given are for 1st through 6th place. 1st=6pts, 2nd=5pts, 3rd=4pts,
4th=3pts, 5th=2pts, 6th=1pt, 7th place through 30th place =0. Times,
therefore ranks, will change with each race, so this information needs to be
in every cell in that column.
NAME TIME RANK PTS
Joe 12.05 2 5
Mary 13.00 3 4
Sue 10.57 1 6
Sam 15.04 8 0
I figured out the rank formula, but I can't figure out how to assign the
points.

I've built a form in VBA which is working great. I now want to call it by creating a button in a worksheet and then assigning the Form macro to it so the user can just click a button. I've tried looking for it in the Assign Macro dialog and it isn't there (even though I've declared it as a public sub) and I can't call it from a normal Module as it says it's an undeclared variable.
