Get Column B1 To Automatically Retrieve Last Number Shown?
Jul 15, 2014
I'm working on a project where column A will always have numbers added every month. How can I get column B1 to automatically retrieve the last number shown?
I want to do is use a userform to automatically create a graph from the data that is shown in the worksheet. The data in the work sheet will grow and shrink all the time. Am i right in thinking I am meant to create a dynamic range? I know how to do it but am not too sure what I am meant to be naming. And secondly I am not too sure how I set up the button to produce the graph.
I am tired of copy and paste from one excel workbook to other workbook. How can I set up an automatic retrieve from one excel workbook to other excel workbook?
I'm making a line diagram, showing how a value changes over time. My data is measured every 30 min, which results in a mess when it's plotted over a month.
How do I limit the number of times shown on the x-axis, for instance so that only the date (every 24 hours) is shown?
I work in a factory where we create different types of units daily. Below is a list of planned production on a specific date, say today's date. This is a very crude example, with information missing, and it is important to know that there are conditions attached such as:
The types are added randomly. The amount of types is much greater meaning that each type is on it's own page with breaks between. Everything produced on this date will have a URN (unique reference number) with its first 6 digits equating to yy-mm-dd and the last two being the position of the unit in the production sequence (first=01, second=02 etc).
I have gotten it to the point where if you enter them in sequence (Type A first for example) it will lookup to see the last assigned URN and taking the quantity into account issue the correct URNs.
The issues I have are when the URNs are less than "10", there is a problem displaying the 0 before the digit which disrupts the sequence. I can provide more clear examples if required.
Type A Date08/04/2014 QtyURN 101314040801-03 203514040804-08 462114040809
Above is the formula I'm trying to get to work but it's not-a-happenin. It seems like the first IF overides all of the others. Basically I want the first IF to be ignored if column G contains any of the words shown. So basically what I think is happening is that P3 is less than Q1 so it's ignoring the rest of the IFs. Originally my formula worked fine as:
=IF(P4<$Q$1,E4-S4,"Not Changed")
But I realized that i needed a certain category of product ignored. Products are labeled in column G.
I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'! D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
I am working with a group of individuals that will be passing around an excel spreadsheet to one another, and wanted to come up with a way to have the 1st column act as an index, with the key component requiring that the index column would automatically re-number itself, if someone entered a new row.
A typical value in the first column looks like this: 8-5-012-005
Which in our case means that there are 4 series of number sets, separated by dashes. So the first set is 8, the second 5, the third 012, and the fourth 005. The available range for the sets are 7 or 8 for the first, 5 through 9 for the second, and 0 through 130, and 0 through 200, respectively.
So the user can pick any of these ranges for when they decide to create a new record (row).
Here is the way the spreadsheet columns currently look (always sorted by Tract_ID):
Now, here is the way I'd like to have the spreadsheet columns look with the Index_No (can be either Numeric or Text - depending on your recomendations). The sort order is based on 1st, the index number, then 2nd the Tract_ID:
Then, let's say the user wants to enter a new value like say, 7-5-105-021. That value would need to go between Row-1 and Row-2, which, if they just inserted the value in the row of their choice, would screw up the indexing.
What I need is a way to ALWAYS create an index (automatically), no matter where they decide to put the value in the spreadsheet, AND it would update all of the other Indexes as well (very important requirement).
Recently I come across a file with only 1 sheet, in which is a table only occupied an array of A1:Q49. In Normal View I can see the row / column header of A-Q and 1-49 as usual, but nothing outside that range (only grey colour). Also, the empty cells outside A1:Q49 are all grey too. How can I do that?
Each sheet has the same basic formatting. A1 contains a name. B1, C1, D1 are column headers. B2:B is data. C2:C is data and always stops at the same row B2:B range does. The only differences between the sheets is that they might not stop at the same row. I want a macro that merges A1 vertically as shown in my spread sheet to the end of column B and C. I want a border around the merged data, as well as around the B data and the C data individually.
I need a formula to run down a column DCapture.JPG (starting at 142), when it finds the last entered value it needs to display the corresponding value from column J into cell AA21.
If you see the attached photo, the last entered data in column D would be 1, AA21 would be saying -30 (J205)
I am trying to use =COUNTA(A25:A500) to retrieve the number of non blank cells. Only problem I am having is that the cells that are blank are also using a formula to gather its data. The cell would be blank but the formula is still there, so using =COUNTA(A25:A500) returns all these cells with the formula also.
I have a list of part numbers and a new drawing number and old drawing number. I'm am trying to put this list on the second page of a workbook and write a code on thie first page that allows a person to enter the part number and the old and new drawing numbers will be displayed.
I would like to test how many cells have been merged in a given cell. I know about the MergeCells property which returns true if the cell is merged. But how do i retrieve the number of merged cells in that cell (supposing it is merged, of course).
Creating a formula to match two columns (D & H) and if there's a match, I wnat it to produce the value that's in column E, in column J (where the fomula will go).
I'm trying to build an Index-Match formula to retrieve a number from a "data" sheet onto a "summary" sheet. In example spreadsheet, I need to retrieve the stock price on a specific row from "data" sheet, and as an alternative, the most recent price.
I have a table, lets say from C4:J15. Basically all the column headers are dates(row 4). I want to input a formula into column D(D5:D15) that basically retrieves the column header of the first instance in which that row has data in a cell. So say Row8 has the word 'Medicare' in C8, and there is a dollar amount in cell H8, in cell D8 I would like to retrieve the column header of 2/3/2013 that is in cell H4(the header). If there is a dollar amount in the row, that means there is a variance, and I'd like to know the first date in which there is a variance so I don't have to search the whole row.
i want to extract a value from a column into another column in excel. this first column contains text and i want to extract a value that in located between the characters 'FOR' and 'MTHS'. how do i do that?
the situation is the same for all the rows; the value that i want is just located between these characters. is there a simpler way other than using the MID functn? because everytime i use it i need to count the no. of characters and its quite difficult to keep up with the numbers.
In column A I have client names and columns B to P I have numerical data and in column Q I have a formula which gives me a percent, i am trying to think of a way/ a function that will return for me the client names when the value in Column Q is >=100%. It seems like it would be some type of reverse Vlookup.
In a sheet from A:E, the headings on the first row are: ID, Name, Gender, and Age.
I enter the data in sheet “DB” and I want to retrieve the data in sheet “Report”. I want to lookup the data range for each ID listed in Column A and retrieve all data from the matching row in a report form/look.
I have tried to use the vLookup formula, but when defining the range of the column (A2:A), it would return “0”. When defining only the range that contains data, it displays the correct information....
So I'm looking for a formula that returns information to one cell. A formula that looks if in 'this' column you see the category code '1' for example, then return to me the money spent for ALL the 1's. It should return $17...
The table above is small just for demo purpose, my table has 8 category codes at the moment and the number of rows can be between 15 and 50 I guess... it's a monthly break down.
I would like to see how much is spent in total for each category...
In addition if possible, can this be done for two separate tables... We are two people, and I have two table recording expenditure.
Look up in both tables, search the two category columns for category '1' for example, then return all the $'s added together... So for Category 1 now it would show $49...
So I have the macro written, but I don't get the complete data that I am looking for. This is what I am trying to achieve
Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve. This is in the first sheet: Column A Column B Car Saw Dew Jacket Pen Key Saw Screen Hand Shoe Jacket Window Screen Sock Screen Mouse
Now I want this in the next sheet: Column A Column B Column C Column D Car Saw Screen Sock Car Saw Screen Mouse Dew Jacket Window Pen Key Saw Screen Sock Hand Shoe Jacket Window Screen Sock Screen Mouse
In my current macro, It displays most of what I am looking for, but not a duplicate ID if there is one. For example Screen, there are 2 IDs. My macro is only getting the first one and then skipping over the second ID. I would like it to where if there is a double or if it is there more than once that it gets all of the data.
Here is my macro.

I will also attach the document of what I am looking for : Data 1.xlsx
My data is in colunm set #1. I want to create from the data set in column set 1 the data set shown in colunm set #2. I want to automate the process. The program needs to regognize if a name appears only once or more than once. If it appears more than once the data needs to be merged as I highlighted from yellow to green.
I need to find and match patterns of strings in a column and fetch data from the adjacent column. I've attached a sample workbook with my sample data.
How can I find the appropriate matching pattern and fetch and fill data from the adjacent column from my source table to destination? I tried the string functions available and used SEARCH function to match the pattern and check whether it is available. However, when the pattern is found, how can I fetch the adjacent column ?
My attempt to code a formula using SUBSTITUTE, MID and SEARCH functions. Below is the monster formula I wrote - it works and returns 1 when the pattern is found.
Formula:
I need to return the matching pattern that is found. And with it the corresponding adjacent cell's value.
ColA and ColB contains a standard information which is supossed to be my reference. ColC contains my queries for which I need information about their place in ColD.
So I need to match ColC with ColA, so as to retrieve the matched data (between ColC and ColA) from ColB to ColD. Following is the way I expect my result to be..
ColA ColB ColC ColD

I received an answer in that link
"=INDEX($B$2:$B$6,MATCH($C2,$A$2:$A$6,0))",
Which when tried, surely worked a few months back. I am now using excel 2010. I tried the same again, but this time it does not work for me. Is there something else to do which has been changed in the new excel 2010 ?
