Formula Rectified And I Find Myself Not Knowing How It Works
Mar 20, 2007
I have a nifty formula brought to me by one of the excellent members on this board. It works perfectly for what I want, but I must admit I cheated, I have a problem that was similar to the problem this formula rectified and I find myself not knowing how it works.
=IF('IIC Transfer Status'!O139="x",MIN('IIC Transfer Status'!K139+10-WEEKDAY('IIC Transfer Status'!K139-{1,3})), "" )
What Im wondering is if someone could enlighten me as to what is happening in this function, so Im not as blind to assume it is magic.
Eventually I need it to be customed tailored to work in this way: I have a column of dates, I want it to look at column A and if there is a date in it ADD 4 WEEKDAYS (business days) and return the resulting date.
i.e date in column a is march 19 plus 4 business days. Result in column B march 23.
If someone can explain how this string works that would be great, or if someone could just post a suitable function, that would work for now.

On my spreadsheet i have a bunch of variables:
A1 = Arrival time at Checkpoint 1 - 5:53:08
A2 = Time to destination from Checkpoint 1 - 1:10:18
B1 = Arrival time at Checkpoint 2 - 6:00:56
B2 = Time to destination from Checkpoint - 1:02:30
C1 = Total distance from Start - 2.83
C2 = Arrival Time at Destination - =SUM(A1,A2)
D1 = Speed determined from the other variables
D1 is SUPPOSED to equal 25.00
It also is where I am stumped!!
Not only can I not figure out the math but also how to format the function to get the right answer.
ps: Arrival Time at Destination is only included in case it would be useful to find the answer!

I have a proyect evaluation. I use solver to find a value, which works. I recorded a macro for this situation (which repeats all the time), but when I run it, it does not work. The problem is not the answer, it is that the macro does not run
Sub TIR()
SolverOk SetCell:="$M$41", MaxMinVal:=1, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$C$44"
SolverSolve
Range("E44").Select
End Sub

I'm having trouble using VBA's Find function.
I have a worksheet which holds a concatenation of AppID's and App Names in Column U. There are approximately 12,000 rows and each cell in Column U holds one of either of the following value formats:
242 - Application 1
242 - Application 1; 1845 - Application 2
242 - Application 1, 1845 - Application 2; 34678 - Application 3
etc...
I need to find all instances of a chosen App ID and then copy any row in which the App ID appears to a new sheet (to obtain the chosen AppID I am presenting a list of those to the user in a form Listbox, and I know the selection ofthe AppID is functioning as I am currently presenting it in a MsgBox prior to running this part of the code).
When I run a manual FindAll on a given AppID it returns all the cells in Column U which that AppID appears, but when I use the following code to achieve the same it does not seem to find the AppID's.
(NB - I've "borrowed" this code from a posting on Ozgrid, but I have also compared it to the many other FindAll methods available on the web and they all apppear to be pretty similar).
(The changing of the cells interior colour is just a way of identifying whether it's working prior to writing the code to copy the row ino a new sheet).
Dim temp2WS as Worksheet
Set temp2WS = ThisWorkBook.Worksheets("AppID")
Dim lCount As Long
Dim rFoundCell As Range
Set rFoundCell = temp2WS.Range("U1")
temp2WS.Activate

I am trying to write a function that searches a column for an index then sums the value in a corresponding column. This function works when run in the immediate window of VBA but when I use it in the spreadsheet it can't find any rows.
The reason I need this formula is because there are more than one rows that can be found.
Function SumIndex2(ByVal sField As String, ByVal sIndex As String) As Double
Dim i As Integer
Dim dSum As Double
Dim rng As Range
Dim firstaddress As String

I have a macro that inserts a formula on the first row and then copies it down. The problem is the row count is variable but I know it won't exceed 5000 so I just copy it down 5000. For the blank rows I get the ugly #NAME, #VALUE, etc errors.
I know there are ways to supress those error messages, but how about a way so that the macro checks to see how many rows are populated so it doesn't copy down on the blank rows.

I have this code attached to a button on the first sheet of a workbook with hundreds of sheets.
it is suposed to look for a cell that contains "SAY:" and then move one column to the right and make it a zero. It works on the first sheet but not on any other sheet.

I want to do a vlookup between two tabs on a date in cell A1 eg 01-Apr-08
The lookup needs to be on month and year so I'm using
=Month(A1) which gives an answer 4 in cell A2
=Year(A1) which gives an answer 2008 in cell B2
I then oncatenate the results (=A2&B2) to get a unique reference 12008 - works ok
On the second tab, I've repeated the formula, I get an answer of 1 and 2008 but when I concatenate, I get a #VALUE!
I've tried
"text to columns"
unchecked Protect on the cells
worksheet is not protected
on the 1 and 2008 and concatenated result

I am trying to conditionally format using AND() to reference if there is a value in the top line of a table and the title in the right most column for each cell in the table, the formula I am using works when i paste it into cells (i get the correct TRUE or FALSE for each cell in the sheet) but is not working as a format formula, I dont get an error but the shading does not happen.
The formula:
=AND(OFFSET($A$1,0,(COLUMN()-1),1,1)"",INDIRECT("a"&ROW())="Item1")

The formula I'm using is
Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(OFFSET(A10,-2,0),VLOOKUP(OFFSET(A10,-1,0),prim!$D$1:$I$263,5),VLOOKUP(OFFSET(A10,-1,0),prim!$D$1:$I$263,6))
But it doesn't work at all on one worksheet, half works on another, and works sometimes on another.
In the worksheet attached called workbook 4, it works a15 sheet 2, but not a10 sheet 2. But that was not always the case. In the worksheet attached justification copy, it works in a14 sheet 4 but not in a10 but for a good while it didn't work in both. In my own private doc it doesn't work in both cases.

I have this formula :
=SUM(F25:M25*$F$6:$M$6)
It works great in xl2003, and it works properly in XL2007 until you try and change it. I changed the column F to Column D and now it gives me a #value.
How can I re-work this for xl2007?

Private Sub Zero()
If Range("G8").Value = "" Then
Range("G8").Value = "0"
End If
End Sub
I have this listed in as code for VBA. If I hit the "Run Sub/User Form" button on that screen, with the field G8 having nothing in it (having hit "Delete" just prior), it resets the field to "0".
But when I hit delete on the worksheet, the field just sits there......no zero, no nothing.

The problem i have is with the sum offset function. The formula i use is to sum up the totals for each page of an accounts document. At the top of each page there is a column with " £ p " in it and i use that as the basis of the formula. This formula is entered in the bottom of every page to calculate the total for each page.
=SUM(OFFSET(F211,-(ROW(F211)-MATCH("£*",$F$1:F210,1)-1),0,ROW(F211)-MATCH("£*",$F$1:F210,1)-1,1))
This works all the time but when text is entered into column F (the column i'm adding up) it messes up with the formula. the formula will instead find the £ p but for a page 2/3 pages before the one i'm calculating on. This formula only faults when text is entered. Another thing; this excel sheet i'm working on is an output from a different computer program. it is outputted as csv file i think.
Like i said the formula works a treat except when text is entered. The obvious way around this not to enter text but that is not an ideal option. I cannot think of another way of calculating the total for each page although i'm sure another exists.

I figured out exactly what I wanted to do and got it to work in a test excel sheet. However, when integrating it into the actual workbook I wanted, I was unable to get it to work. So, I used the same cell references I need to work in my actual workbook and pasted it all back to the test excel sheet.
So, the test excel sheet has the working formulas up at the top, and a duplicate of what I need to work in the actual cells I need them to work in. Changing the shift start time should group any persons with the same shift togethor. I'm still fairly new, but I think the only portion that could have been changed is the portion that says 1:1.. I figure that is relative to the array so it shouldn't be changed, but not sure what else to do.
Here's an array formula that works:

Here's the array formula to be in the correct cells that doesn't work:

How to to get it to work in the different cell area.

I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.

I have attached a sample of the issue. The formula is found in cell B49. If I enter a gravity of 2.76 or higher in cell B47 I get #N/A in cell B49. Why will it not read any farther over than 2.75. I have been starring at this for awhile now. I might look pretty dumb after someone else looks at it.

Is there a way to name a new tab without knowing its name. For instance, when I create a new tab, it could be named "Sheet2" or "Sheet3", but there is sometimes no way to know. Is there a way to edit the name of that new tab without refering to it by name?

I have a master workbook, meeting1.xls which is used on a daily basis. All of the macros saved in this workbook naturally refer to Windows("Meeting1.xls").Activate.
However, I want to be able to open Meeting1.xls save it as a new name (for today's details) and then populate it.....as well as have the Macros pick up that new file name (rather than always looking for Meeting1.xls.)
I've tried saving Meeting1 as a template file and that didn't seem to work either. When I save it as a new name, the macro always searches for the original name.

I currently have a macro setup that puts Auto-Sum data in the row below the bottom-most row of data. What code would I need to format this Auto-Sum row with the following parameters automatically...
1. Merge & center F & G in the Auto-Sum row with the text "Totals".
2. Change the row height of the Auto-Sum row to 44 pixels.
3. Center the vertical alignment of the Auto-Sum row.
4. Put the thickest border around the Auto-Sum row in cells A-K.

below you will see my macro. I have a slight problem, everything works perfect, except when I change file names. Basically I keep an electronic backup every day of the file I create. So today's file will be named DOH031907, tomorrow DOH032007, Wednesday DOH 032107, etc. etc. I use the same sheet, including the same Macro every day so it does the same thing. Basically everywhere you see "DOH031907Test.xls" I want it to put the current workbook file name there. I'm new to this kind of stuff but it seems like there is an easy solution.
Sub DOHComplete()
'
' DOHComplete Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+T
'
ChDir "K:PICDailyMetrics"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="K:PICDailyMetricsGMDEMAND2.XLS"
Windows("DOH031907Test.xls").Activate
Sheets("EDI Demand").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
Windows("GMDEMAND2.XLS").Activate
Sheets("EDI Demand").Select
Sheets("EDI Demand").Copy Before:=Workbooks("DOH031907Test.xls").Sheets(3)

Without using VBA code, is there a way to display or find the worksheet number of the active worksheet you are viewing? All my sheets have names, and I have a lot of them.
When I want to loop through a set of them with code, I want to know what numbers they are beforehand.

Is it possible for a macro to delete any sheet that within a workbook that does not match a specific list of sheets. For example a workbook will always have Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4... but it can have many other sheets added to it. The names of the sheets can be completely different however the sheets that I want to keep will always have the same name.

I'm sure there's a way to do this, I just haven't put my finger on HOW just yet. I have a list of stock tickers which can vary from 1 to say, 10. I need to use each of those 10 tickers in the subject line of a message. I thought I could do something with SPLIT, but that's not working for me. Here's what I have so far: u = the count of tickers. Column O contains the list of unique tickers

have a link such as www.abc.se/downloadfile?file=12345. When opening this link in a browser the DownloadFile window popups and the file can be downloaded.
I would like to be able to download the file without involving the DownloadFile pop up (since some users have auto open enabled thus the downloadfile pop-up is not always shown)
I have tried URLDownloadToCacheFile and similiar methods but they fail as they dont have the direct link to the file.
So my question now is how can I extract the direct url?
There should be a way to capture it since it will be used in the downloadfile dialog.

Got a bit of a stinker here. (Well, it is for me anyway. I haven't used Excel in months)!
I want to use a VLOOKUP function (I think) to retrieve data from a list of Exchange Rates on a separate sheet.
The user enters a 'Period' number, selects an 'exchange' variable (the blue text cells). The hope is to lookup the data on the 'FX RATES 06-07' sheet and return the result in the green cells.
I've tried using VLOOKUP but one of the arguements specifies that you nominate a column to return the information - that's the problem, we don't know that information when asking Excel.

I have one column that contains an If statement formula and would like the next column to then work off of the first column (i.e. if that 1st column returns a value then then adjacent column uses that result).
What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)

In sheet 1, I have

In sheet 2, I have the following names

John Sedgwicky
When I did an array match -> ={MATCH(1,(TRIM($a2)=Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2)*(left(b2,5)&"*"=Sheet2!$b$1:$b$2),0)}
gave me an error but when I did an individual match to both John and Sedgw, it works.
