How Can I Reference The First Value In A Column Of Numbers When ......
Mar 30, 2009
In a formula, how can I reference the first value in a column of numbers when the row number of that first number is not constant [ie] the row number changes regularly from day to day as I insert new rows at the top of the column each day?
I managed to find this great bit of code some time ago and would now like to add to it. The code basically identifies any duplicates in column A and then lists the results in a message box,e.g.:
Duplicate Name: REF12345 Rows: 2,3
Works great for 1 or 2 duplicates but if there are many it becomes quite difficult to keep track. I'd like keep the code as is but add highlighting to the identified cells.
I'm trying to reference a location on a spreadsheet in a macro by using the values in two cells (the idea is to then paste to this location):
D2 is 17 (the row) B4 is 2 (the column)
therefore the location is B17 (R17C2), but can I get this to work...? The values in these cells can change depending on selections made which is why I want to use the cell references rather than the absolute!
A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use =COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"), and the next date comes along the formula changes to =COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
I'm putting together a document where I'm trying to automatically create a reference number for each entry. The reference number needs to consist of a site ID (found in column A), an underscore, and then an incrementing number dependent on how many entries the reference number appears.
For example, in column A, the first time the site ID: 12345 appears, I'd like the reference number 12345_01 to be created. The second time it appears, the reference number would be 12345_02. And so on.
If possible, as illustrated above, the first nine references need to have a 0 before the number - i.e. 01, 02, 03, etc - when it hits the tenth instance the reference becomes 10, 11, 12, etc.
I've tried to solve this with COUNTIF, but cannot get it down.
I have a spreadsheet with Company A's part numbers, then the number for the same exact part from their rival company or competitor. When searching on our website I need for the customer to be able to find the part even if we are out of stock of Company A's part, we can let them know we have company B's part and it is the exact same part. So I am cross referencing the numbers.
In my spreadsheet I have all of company A's parts in column A and their competitor parts in column B. In another column I have cross reference #'s I did with the concatenate function. Where it gets tricky is one part can have 50 or more numbers associated with it. So far, I have been doing the concatenate for each one. I haven't gotten very far as you can imagine. Is there a way I can have it check a column, then when it finds the same exact numbers have it put the numbers from column B all in the same row seperated by a space(my delimiter)? See image at link. I couldn't figure out how to post the spreadsheet. Maybe I am too new to attach files.

so in the example above, cell E11 has company A's part number, it's own number, then the number above it and the numbers below it. It has every number associated with 74679142.
I have exported a dataset with references numbers and I want to convert those reference numbers into the titles they refer to. I have a separate sheet that matches the reference number to the title and would normally use a LOOKUP function [=LOOKUP(A2,Key::Table 1::A,Title)] to do this but, in this instance, I have multiple reference numbers in a cell separated by commas. How can I get the function to lookup multiple numbers from the same cell?
I have attached an example spreadsheet which should be relatively intuitive over me trying to explain it.
I am wanting to extract all CJ numbers with the corresponding dates from Sheet 1, into Sheet 2. It has to factor in, engineer name (as stated on sheet 2), the Month (as stated in sheet 2 "May") with the "Attended site" date in sheet 1....
If you see the worksheet it should give you the whole picture with a fair amount of clarity.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
I have three sheets of data, each sheet has various columns of data, but within each sheet, column one contains a unique reference number (URN), which is a unique six digit number identifying an organisation.
In sheet two I need to create a new column and call this 'Filter Group'. In that column I want to insert a series of IF statements to return a value from all three sheets. The difficulty I'm having is that I can't get the if statements to work specifically for when the URN in sheet one or three match the URN in sheet two.
Sheet two is my main data sheet. Sheet one is called '2 Weeks Previous' and sheet three is called '2 Weeks ahead'. The IF statement I have created so far is as follows:
I have a worksheet(Shed) and the range where numbers will be entered are B3:E46. In another sheet(Location) I have a in column A "Shift #", B "Shift Bus #" C "Location". what I am attempting to do is when a bus number is entered into Shed! ie.. b3=900, d15=350 etc.... Location! would lookup ie.900 in the Shed! and match it to Location! (column B) and from there provide the cell ref in column C. So I could then print Location! that would give me in Shift # order where each Bus # the shift is assigned to.
I have attached a screencap of an example source table that I am trying to write a macro to manipulate each day. Starting conditions are that I have data in column A and B. Column A would be reference numbers that may be on one line, or more likely, on multiple lines repeating with varying counts. Column B is the weight associated with each line. I would need a macro that could loop through column A, determine if the ref number has changed, and then calculate/populate column C. Column C is the % of the total weight for the unique reference number. I have illustrated this in the table using column D. This is taking me incredible manual effort to complete right now and I do know VBA, I just don't know how to loop a variable range in this case.
Say column A has either numbers or text in each cell, I need a macro to only get each number in each cell that is not a duplicate of a number in any previous cell and list each number found down column B.
I want to get value from reference one column and return value by corresponding row from another column. This can be done by vlookup column. But it find value from 1st column and return value from given relative column. That mean find from Left column and return value from right side given column number.
But I want find from Given column number and return value from given left column. For Further detail see the Attached file.
I have a document that is a subject index for book that has terms that reference page numbers. The structure is for example: Employment, 587, 592, 553, 605, 233 The term is always following by comma and then space and listing of page numbers that subject reference applies. In many cases the page number references are out of sequence and I need them to be in numerical sequence. i.e. Employment, 233, 553, 587, 592, 605 There are many subject terms in index and need to check and fix sequence of page references for each.
I have a column of variances, these contain both negative numbers and positive numbers. I want to gather a sum of all the negative numbers and positive numbers separtely. Basically saying all the positive overeages = this amount And all the negative shortages = this amount. you can see the attached sample.
Is it possible to delete a column of numbers then replace those numbers from adjacent columns and the adjacent columns are then filled with the numbers adjacent to them
I'm working on a spreadsheet with about 400 rows and 10 columns. All the numbers in the columns are formatted as text, which doesn't allow me to use AutoSum. I have selected the cells and formatted them as number with no decimals, but AutoSum still doesn't work because the formatting hasn't changed and they're still formatted as text. I know if I double click each cell, the cell changes the format from text to number, but that will take a lot of time to change 400 cells in each of the 10 columns. What can I do to quickly reformat the cells from text to number?
Currently, I have a standard vlookup forumla that looks like =Vlookup(B2,Sheet2!A:G,5,false)
However, the data on sheet two is ever expanding--each month, specifically. And I need to return the most recent (so, rightmost filled) column. Right now, the column is 5, but next month it will be 6 and so on and so forth.
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 have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!
I am trying to find the median of a set of numbers on a column that correspond to dates on the left column. I want a monthly median average of the numbers on the right which correspond to the dates on the left. So for example. I want to make an equation that gives me the median of all the numbers on the right if they fall within the range of a certain month(in this case October). I've tried These:
