Combining A String To Reference A Cell
Oct 10, 2008
I'm trying to switch my vlookups to something more dynamic. I keep adding columns to the data sheet (sheet1 for these purposes) and so I have to go back and update all of the other sheets that use the vlookup. (I'll just give an example as sheet2 for these purposes)
So what I have currently:
=VLOOKUP(A5,Data_All,4,FALSE)
Basically the 'A' column in sheet2 has an integer value, and so the vlookup takes that integer and looks up on sheet1 which row corresponds to that integer and then returns that string value.
What I want:
='AO_Cat_' & 'A5'
Basically I have named every cell in sheet1 and the particular value that I want to pull is named "AO_Cat_%name" with the last part being the integer value. I don't know if that make sense or not. For example, on sheet2, A5 might be '16' and so the value that I want to pull is "AO_Cat_16"
If I were to do this from the VBA side of things, then it'd be a simple range("AO_Cat_" & id_number) where id_number was the lookup value. However, I'd prefer to have this directly as a worksheet formula for simplicity purposes.

I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.

I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this? example:
A1 contains B
B1 contains 2
B2 contains "tribbles"
An imaginary function might go like this........

I need to have a link to data in another file. The file will be in the same directory, however, the name of the file I need to link increments daily. I have a string being generated already with the name of the file I want to link to. I can easily add a cell reference to that string, but how do I use that string value in a link? Or - how do I use quick'n'easy VBA to snatch the required cell's data?
e.g.
Required data is in the file "production 060723.xls", in sheet "Daily Production", in cell "E2". Current file has a string being generated in a cell:
"\server1production dataproduction060723.xls"
The following day, the required data will be in a file called "production 060724.xls", same sheet, same cell. The current file's string data will also update to reflect the needed file. I know that similar questions have been asked here - but none that I saw in my search seemed quite what I need. Even if someone can direct me to the right thread, that would be great.

I'd like to check if a user supplied string is single cell reference. My problem is that the below code comes back as vallid if I enter a range like B2:B4.
Sub test2()
Dim UserAdd As String
UserAdd = InputBox("Enter your address")
'check if valid:
If ValidAddress(UserAdd) Then
MsgBox ("it's valid!")
Else
MsgBox ("it ain't valid!")
End If
End Sub

I have something like the following:
If Worksheets("RawData"). Cells(1, nColumn).Value = Worksheets("RawData").Cells(12, 16).Value Then
..do code (I know the cell location of interest at this point)
End If
Then I End up needing To Do something Like the following
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
Worksheets("RawData").Range("L1:N1")
“L1:N1” above is a sample. Given the code above it I have the cell location in question but it is in the format such as .Cells(12,16). That doesn’t do me much good when range wants something like “L1”. I don’t know how to convert that (12,16) to a L16 for example.

Here is the scoop.
I have a userform that has a lot of textboxes that are formatted as date fields. Some of them have a default value and are locked=true, enabled=false. For those ones I have a checkbox next to them so the user can unlock and enable the textbox if they so desired.
Well the checkboxes and textboxes have a similar naming scheme, but are not numeric (they are not CheckBox1, CheckBox2, etc). As an example they one grouping is Cust1RelExpUnlock (this is the checkbox) and Cust1RelExpDateBox (this is the textbox). The difference in their name is the last portion (Unlock or DateBox).
Now when the checkbox is selected the code I want looks something like this:
Code:
Private Sub Cust1RelExpUnlock_Click()UnlockDateBox Cust1RelExpUnlockEnd Sub
Where UnlockDateBox is the function I'm having difficulty with and is supposed to be generic enough to work on any grouping assuming my naming scheme is consistent.
Using a combination of the Left() and Len() functions I can get the unique aspects of the name. Then concatenate it with "DateBox" as required. However I'm getting type mismatch errors, or object required erros. I tried various combinations of Dim _____ As Object, As Control, As Textbox... with no success.
I'm getting the correct name as a string, how do I make it work so I can reference the textbox.enabled/.locked?
Code:
Private Sub UnlockDateBox(Ck)
Dim CkDate As Control 'Tried control, textbox, object
Set CkDate = ProjectInputForm.MultiPage1.Object ' tried just using ProjectInputForm, and Object
Dim CkName As String
[Code] .........

I am running EXCEL 2007 on XP. What is the EXCEL cell formula to put in a cell (for example"E5") that will reference the "last" occurrence of a specific text string in column A (For example Chard ) but will show its corresponding column B content (for example its PH number 3.45) regardless of the number of data entries that will be inputted in the future for both column A and B.
A B C D E

How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?

In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.

I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.

I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB
ABC
CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)
I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?

Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.

I am looking at combining 2 formulas and have them in a single cell. Currently I am using this one =IFERROR(IF(S3-V3=0,"Completed within agreed time!",S3-V3),"") if the value =0 but need another one if there's no value in V3 it would say "Outstanding" I have tried to add IFBLANK to the existing formula but I must be doing something wrong as it doesn't work.

I'm having trouble combining some values in cells. For example in cell A1 i have the value 372-25. In cell B1 i want to make A1 part of another value (it is an APN if you must know). So that cell would be 011-372-25-11. I would be adding 011 as a prefix to each cell and 11 as an ending. I'm sure there must be an easy way of doing this.
I have tried
=011-A1-11
="011-"A1"-11"
="011-A1-11"

I am trying to create one formula (in one cell) so that it performs the following three things:
1) Rounds any number to the nearest dollar
2) Makes the minimum dollar value $2.00
3) If another cell (G2) reaches $100.00 or more, I want it to revert to another cell's (B2) value.
So, in essence, I want to combine the following two things:
=MAX(2,ROUNDUP(F2,0))
AND
=IF(G2>="100",B2)
I do not know how to correctly order these so that it performs all three things I'm looking for it to do. I've posted this before, but was given an answer that created a circular reference and did not make the minimum value $2.00.

I am trying to combine multiple cells into 1 cell per row.
I would have "A" column empty, then combine "B", "C", and on into the "A" column.
Each cell value will be separated by a space or any special character I designate in the macro
I have attached an example which the output is separated by a space. Sheet1 has the original file and Sheet2 has the desired output.

I have the follwoing example. Basically, there is an "X" for each posession of Andrew (cells: B1, C2, D3, E4). What I'm trying to do, in another sheet, is centralize the below information in only one row for "Andrew", with an "X" under each of his posessions (all the 4 "X"-es are now in cells B1, C1, D1, E1).

how can I combine the Formula =(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with setting a value of the cell D2?
What I want would look like this (in column C):
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=0
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=100
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=200
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=300
and so on.
The point is that the values A2 to A100 are dependent on the input value in D2.

I am trying to combine this formula with another formula but I cant get it right.
I have multiple worksheets that feed into 1 so I am using this formula to pull in the info.
=II.MissionCritical!C20. This info is a title like "Writing".
=II.MissionCritical!C23. This info is a yes or no.
So I need the =II.MissionCritical!C20 formula to also say if c23 is no add an *** to the front of the title. so the title would look like "***Writing". and if C23 is yes leave the title as is.
