Functions Compared With VBA Functions

Mar 14, 2008

I am aware of the following topic in the VBA Help file:

"Using Microsoft Excel Worksheet Functions in Visual Basic
You can use most Microsoft Excel worksheet functions in your Visual Basic statements. To see a list of the worksheet functions you can use, see List of Worksheet Functions Available to Visual Basic.

Note Some worksheet functions aren’t useful in Visual Basic. For example, the Concatenate function isn’t needed because in Visual Basic you can use the & operator to join multiple text values."

And I'm aware of how to call Excel funcitons from within VBA; e.g., answer = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(myRange)

However, not only are some Excel functions not useful; the fact is they cannot be used because VBA has a native function that does exactly the same thing and you have to use that native VBA function to achieve your goal. It is these overlapping functions that I am especially interested in. I want to know what I should use directly in VBA and what I need to go to Excel for.

Efficiency Of Custom Functions (UDF) Compared To Standard/Native Formulas

Sep 30, 2006

Assume I have a sheet consisting of 50 rows with 3 columns of figures. A fourth column contains a formula to calculate values, eg A1+B1+C1, on each line/row. I could enter A1+B1+C1 in the first cell and Copy, Paste to the other 49 cells. Alternatively, I replace A1+B1+C1 with a UDF.

Is there any difference in performance with using a UDF compared to using the long-hand/standard approach, or is it just a question of convenience? After all, both are doing the same operation with the same calculation.

Use Of Vb Instead Of All My Functions

Apr 19, 2007

i have a spreadsheet acting as a type of database (our work wont pay for more licences for access!), and it has multiple functions running. well, it has 3000 lines x2 for 2 sheets with about 5-10 full colums of functions. this means the template file i have starts off at about 10mg. with data, this goes upto around 15-20mb. howver, we get a lot of the massive size increases. however, the sizes we get are often upto 150mb! so, i dont know vb at all, and have only learned functions recently. was hoping someone might be able to help out sorting this out? i dont know if i can upload a coppy online, but i can email.

Sum Functions - Add All And Return A Value

Jun 9, 2014

So I have say 1-4 columns that may have an A to describe a student as absent. In the 5th column I'd like it to add all the A's and return a value of 1-4 or if possible... a result that says 4A etc. The column might have another letter in it so i only need to add it up if it has an A in it.

To visualize, i just want to add up the students that have not attended a class.

Functions Use For Various Conditioning?

Jun 19, 2014

I wish to set 2 different cases (good and normal sales) for a list of data.

During good sales
- fruits can be sold within 4 hours
- Fruits sold off during peak season (Definition of peak season: 2 calendar days before or on public holiday or 10 days before 31st May)
- < 2 fruits per type

Date of public holiday for example: 1 Jan 2014, 18 Apr 2014, 1 May 2014

For normal sales
- fruits only able to sell of the next day
- Sell of on non-peak season
- > 2 fruits per type

Sample file attached.

I have an entire excel column which was filled-in with values ranging from 1000 to 40000. What I was trying to do is to just sum up the all the values which are between 9000 and 20000. I tried using the sumif function =sumif(and(A5:A40,">9000"),(A5:A40,"<20000")) but it does not work, it says that the formula that I typed contains an error.

Marco Vs Functions

Nov 23, 2009

Currently, all of our data in Excel are linked by using Excel Functions between workbooks and some of the files are so large that it may take 10 minutes to open and copy and paste a cell may take three minutes (which is ridiculous slow).

Pardon my ignorance, my understand of Excel VBA/Marco is about automation. Even i use marco to run the excel, i still need formula in the cell in order to perform the task, right?

Check Box Functions

May 18, 2009

I have a cell (D19) that I want to be automated to return a value based on a formula (it will equal Cell D15). But I also want to have the ability to allow the user to override this and enter a manual value if needed. My idea on how to do this is having a check box with a macro where if it is checked it will unlock the cell and clear out the formula and when checked it will reenter the formula and lock the cell.

Also same form - I need a check box that will check all applicable check boxes (all boxes under Deductions to be taken). Can anyone assist me in setting up these check boxes so that my functions will work, or if there is a "better" way of providing these functions please let me know.

Interest Functions

Dec 3, 2005

The file I am working with is available here

(1) I need to work out the value of 2 years worth of interest on a loan - details would be

Loan = 30,180.00
interest = 14.90% pa (calculated daily)
term of loan would be 60 months

I am currently using an ammortisation speadsheet which calculates the interest per month etc ... at this time I simply highlight and calculate the interest which would be two years worth ...

the problem is this calculation varies from the bank interest calculations (although the repayments are the same and the total interest payable amounts are the same)

The banks calculations are said to be done on the basis that the minimum monthly repayment is met and there are no additional fees thrown in ... so I cant understand the difference ...

(2) In addition to the above question, but working on the same loan, traditionally amortisation tables calculate the amount of the repayments, the interest component and the principal component ... some include a column where you can factor in additional repayments on a row by row basis (like the one I am referring to) the table assumes that the payment is made on the due date ...

what I would like to be able to do is
(a) insert the actual payment dates
(b) if no payment is recorded for that period, automatically insert an overdue fee

Combine 2 Functions Into 1

May 27, 2009

I tried to do a search for this but the search function was not working.

I have an excel sheet that I can scan Mac address into. The reason I created the sheet is because when I scan them in they are uppercase and do not have separators. I would like to combine 2 excel functions into 1

This one

=LOWER(C2)

and this one

=LEFT(E2,2)&":"&MID(E2,3,2)&":"&MID(E2,5,2)&":"&MID(E2,7,2)&":"&MID(E2,9,2)&":"&MID(E2,11,2)

Chart Functions

Mar 30, 2006

is there any way I can make the chart inputs variable. I have an array of numbers. lets say 100 of them, these are linked cells and depending on the input I might have less than 100 numbers in these 100 cells. All the cells which have numbers will appear in a block first and all the non number cells will appear below them as blanks in anotherblock. Now i have to create a chart from these numbers, so at times I have to take the 90 cells where there are numbers and other times I have to take 95 cells. Is there any way I can get over this.

Vlookup & Right Functions In VBA

I'm trying to write a macro that looks up Column A so that each time it finds "Agent" as the first word in a cell, it takes that whole cell and copies it to another sheet.

I tried creating an array function that combines the If, Vlookup, and Right() and Left() functions, but no luck. Ideally, I would want this as a VBA macro.

Multiple Functions

Jan 25, 2009

For the odds range, i have already two cells(the upper(F9) and the lower(E9)) and i have a cell named the current odd(G9). What are the formula together for the attribut cell(H9) for the following data:

1.0 : The current price is outside and below the odds range spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.0 if the current price is below 2,00
NOTE: Obviously the formula for this one is =IF(G9

1.1 : The current price is on the bottom edge of the “odds
range” figure. For example, if the range is between 2,00
and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 1.1 if the current
price is 2,00
NOTE: The formula for this one would be =IF(G9=E9,1.1)

1.2 : The current price is inside the “odds range” spread
and is placed one or two clicks from the bottom edge. For
example if the range is between 2,00 and 2,20, the range’s
attribute will be 1.2 if the current price is 2,02 or 2,04
NOTE: I have a hard time creating a formula with this one.

2.0 : The current price is outside and above the “odds
range” spread. For example, if the range is between 2,00
and 2,20, the range’s attribute will be 2.0 if the current
price is above 2,20
NOTE: The formula would be =IF(G9>F9,2.0)

Functions To Find Value

Mar 9, 2007

I have struggled with this and can't make it work. I am not sure if I should have used a lookup function.

I have this function in a worksheet:
=IF(AND(I62<F62,I63>F63),B64,"0")

The problem is that cell I62 may contain a value or 0. If 0 then I need to go back up through four cells I61 to I58 to find the value. Only one of the cells I62 to I58 will contain a value. The rest will be 0.

To try and do this I wrote this function but it does not work.
=IF(AND((IF(I62>0),I62,"IF(I61>0),I61,"IF(I60>0),I60,"IF(I59>0),I59,"IF(I58>0),I58,"I27""""")<F62,I63>F63),B64,"0")
