Display Contents(text) Of A Cell Referenced By A Given Cell
Feb 9, 2009
I want to display the contents of cell B5 in A7 by using cell C7 to show the location of the cell to be displayed. Cell C7 has a formula that shows the cell location of information (text) that needs to be displayed. How can I show in A7 the contents of cell reference shown in C7? In figure attached I show an example to better understand. Want in A7 to show the contents of B5 by reading what is in C7. So A7 cell should show word Road.

I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it.
What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range.
I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck.
So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where:
If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3.
DON'T want to use a PivotTable.

In my excel sheet I have a list of where they go, which are basically excel cells.. i.e. A1 is the top left corner.
What I am trying to figure out how to do is, is there a way that I can get excel to see "A1" and then put it in A1 of another sheet on the bottom. Thus I get the same grid I have on the wall, making a map of my things.
Also, I could just cut and paste, but the problem is I'm working on organizing the stuff on the wall, and if I do it the way I want to, when I move things, they should automatically be moved on the chart.
So basically I need it to look at a cell for the reference, choose text from another cell (which will be concaternated(sp) text), and then place it in the referenced cell in the chart sheet.

I have data arranged in cells A1 to Z1 as Name1, Amount1, Name2, Amount2, Name3, Amount3, etc. Is there a formula that can determine the name that corresponds to the maximum amount in the row?

I want a dialog box to have a label box reference a cell within a work sheet. This referenced cell contains a formula linked to other cells so it will change value.

How would I get a particular cell to display the contents of any cell that might be selected.
ie, if I click on A1 I want A2 to display the info thats in A1, and if after that, I click on E12, I want A2 to then show E12's info, etc etc.

I'm looking for a formula that will display the contents of a cell location. In other words, I have a sortable list (example: A3 - C20, where column C cells contain either: "EEE", "FFF", OR "GGG"). If I sort by "FFF", it will only display rows with that criteria. I need a formula to place in C1 (above the list), that will display the contents of the top cell in column C of my list, reguardless of how it is sorted.
Similar to the subtotal formula, but with text.

I have a field set up to display the contents of a cell (sheet 1) using VLOOKUP if a match is found in a separate worksheet (sheet 4). Here is the code I'm using:
=VLOOKUP(C:C,Sheet4!G:G,1,FALSE)
Is there a way, if there is a match, to display the contents of another cell of sheet 4 in the cell of sheet 1?
EX:
Sheet 1 C:C matches Sheet 4 G:G
Sheet 1 C:C displays I:I from Sheet 4

I have found Displaying an image based on text contained within a cell. which appears to be a very similar question, but no steps to follow.
Basically I have a folder with around 300 images in it, each is called ProductId number.jpg
eg Z99S1234567.jpg
In my sheet I am using the same ProductId number and would like to display the product image on the sheet. I have A1:D19 as spare space Lookig at the info I have found the image will have to go into a cell, so can I break all the rules and merge cells to fit the image in, or do I need to make a single cell big enough or can I use VBA to import the image somehow to a specific place on the sheet.
There will only ever be one looked up image on the screen at a time.

I am working with a catering form that someone else created at work. It has a drop down list of menu items available. Once an item is chosen, the item description pops up.
These descriptions are so much longer than anything else in the row (item name, qty, #, cost). Is there an option to make the full text temporarily visible by selecting the cell, and leave it cut off the rest of the time? I am trying to keep the form at one page.

I have two columns, column Q and R. Column Q has Data Validation set, where you can only choose one of four options in any given cell between rows 2-250,000. When "Complete" is chosen, the cell turns green. Now when "Complete" is chosen in column Q, I need the cell next to it in Column R to auto-fill today's date. However, the date should not update to the next day. So if the cell autofills to today's date, which is 12/6/13, tomorrow, when the date changes to 12/7/13, the cell still reads 12/6/13.

Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

ie:
Cell A1 = Ref#01
Cell B1 = A1&(whatever I choose to type)
Result in cell B1: Ref#01whatever I choose to type
Looks like I would need a macro because a function will be overwritten as soon as I start typing in cell B1.

So right now I have a spreadsheet that looks something like this:
A
B
C
D
[Code]....
As you can see, the stock names are slightly different in columns A & C (CORP. vs CORP, CO vs CO., etc). I need a formula in column D that searches column A for the first word in column C, and then retrieves the contents of that cell. I want to do this because I will then use a vlookup in column E to get the ticker for the stock.
Right now I have: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(LEFT(C1,FIND(" ",C1)),A:A,1)),A:A,"")
This formula searches column A for EXXON, but does not return the contents of the cell. Instead, it returns the contents of a different cell in the column.

Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found.
A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278.
1. user searches for "yellow_metal"
2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278.
3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example.
4. Excell returns "gold"

I'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.

If C5 refers to the value in cell C100, C6 refers to the value in C110 ten rows below. C7 refers to C120, ten rows below that and so on. Is there a formula that you use within excel (not a macro) that allows me to copy the C7 formula to C8 so that C8 will reference C130?
I have tried using INDIRECT and OFFSET formulas but cannot do it without an absolute reference to a fixed cell, which defeats the purpose, since I can go into C8 and manually change it to =C130, C9 to =C140 etc.
Currently using Excel 2007 at work and Mac Pro at home. Thought about R1C1 reference, but don't even know how to change to that style on my Mac.

I need to create a cell reference which will allow me to specify a cell in a table by value (using indirect) and pull the value from a cell immediately one row over for use in a formula. Say I have a table Containing column A and B; I want to reference the value of a cell in column A (e.g. "Large Widget") and receive (in the formula) the value in column B (e.g. "41 cm^2").

Its on book 2.
I'm trying to reference the Cryptek total that I got in the previous area, and put that result into the grand total army point formula. When I reference the solution cell, or even copy and paste the very same equation into it, and then proceed to filter the referenced cells change...
The obvious solution that i thought would work is write =D45 next to Cryptek in the point value column, then if I filter it SHOULD maintain the information from D45 except it doesn't.

Basically it is a training matrix.
basically I need A30, A32, A34 and A36 cells to display the characters they are currently displaying but when i copy and past any of them into a new cell on the matrix for example into cell B11 I want to be able to SUM the total of that column and display it in cell B24
So to recap, I would like A30, A32, A34 and A36 cells to hold 25, 50, 75 and 100 as there value but this can not be displayed it is just a value which i can use to calculate.
I am ok if i have to link the cells with another worksheet but i have tried doing this also i dont know if i need to use VBA.

Let me see if I can make this succinct and clear. Cell AQ2 (where the formula below resides) looks at the value in cell E2. It then references table $K$3:$U:$100 on sheet "LookupTables" to get the value to display. It does this (and works great) with the formula below:
Code:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)),"",
IF(VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)="","",
VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)))
I would like to add one more argument. I would also like it to reference cell U3 in the LookupTables sheet and if there is anything in that cell to go ahead and complete the formula, but if there's no value in that cell, it should return no text and be blank

I am trying to auto-populate text in cells in area A, based on data I enter into other cells in area B. I want the area A cells to be for display only, as all editing will be done in area B. The problem is: how do I do this such that the text I write does not get cut off if is longer than the column width? See the attached document for a clear example and description of what I am trying to do...

Below is a small sample of Column A from a spreadsheet I'm working with. All cells in the column begin with a 6 digit number:
115383_BOSTON
115384_NEW_YORK
115385_PORTLAND
115402_LOS_ANGELES
115403_WACO
115010_SAINT_PAUL
115011_SAN_DIEGO
115130_WEST_NYACK
115021_CHAPEL_HILL
What formula would allow me to enter only a 6 digit number and return the entire cell contents, i.e, search for 115403 and get a return of 115403_WACO ? I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but I'm not getting the results I need.

I need to merge the contents of an Excel 2007 workbook into a text document, creating a series of paragraphs that look like this: Text text text [contents of cell A1] text text text [contents of cell A1] text. Text text text [contents of cell A2] text text text [contents of cell A2] text. Etc.
Apart from the cell contents, each paragraph will be identical. (I would do this by hand, but there are about 500 paragraphs.). Is there a way to merge the cell contents like that into a text document (Word or whatever)?

I frequently review DAT files. These DAT files use a variety of characters as delimiters. I'm trying to devise a macro that will perform a text-to-column operation, using the content of a specified cell as the delimiter.
Here's my code, which uses - (ASCII 0254) as a delimiter:
Code:
With Sheet1
Range("A1", ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Do
[Code]....
Instead of having the delimiter hard-coded, I'd like my macro to use whatever character I enter into Sheet3.Range("i5") as a delimiter. That way, I can easily change my delimiter character as necessary.
