Link Between Two Cells Is Broken So The Correct Number Is Not Showing Up In The Cell
Aug 6, 2007
I have a spreadsheet that has been sent to multiple clients. I have discovered an error in a few of the cells:
1. a link between two cells is broken so the correct number is not showing up in the cell. It is a simple formula ie: =A15, that I either forgot to put in or deleted in a fit of madness. It is in the same cell on the same worksheet in the workbook.
2. A hidden column on a worksheet has a formula that sums a range of cells. I have discovered that this range of cells is wrong. This error is duplicated on a number of worksheets in the workbook. The problem is that the error is in the same column in each worksheet but not in the same row.
Each worksheet is password protected. This is done through VBA code so the passwords won't be a problem.
The clients have already started working on the spreadsheet that I sent them and I want to send them a "fix" so that the correct formula will just update the spreadsheet they already have rather than me sending a completly new one and them having to start from scratch.
I had this wonderful spreadsheet set up with columns that appear and disappear and formulas galore so that the client didn't have to do to much work and then I find these errors after it has been sent. My testers let me down but that's life.

So my macro goes through about 30 workbooks--opens them, updates the links, saves, closes. It would work flawlessly except I have to stop and click "continue" when this message pops up for most of the workbooks:
"This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated....etc."
About 90% of the workbooks have bad links somewhere (I think in the insert>names...but they're not my workbooks so i can't delete all the names). Since I can't find the bad links, I would like a visual basic script that will automatically click "continue" everytime so that the macro runs its course without me having to do anything. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have inherited a large spreadsheet. When it opens I get a warning message "This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated". When I click "Edit Links" the dialoge tells me that it is looking for a file in a folder called "All Daily Tasks". now I know that this folder no longer exists. I have found all the cells that had formulae refering to it, and pointed them in the new, correct folder, but I still get the warning message. I have cleared all Named Ranges, so that isn't the problem. And I have done a search for "All Daily Tasks", but this has come up blank. I know I can break the link, but I want to know where the link is, in case it needs updating. How do I find the cell with the "link that cannot be updated" if the search facility can't locate it?

This file pulls totals from external links. The way I have it set up is that every month our log is saved to a naming scheme involving the date, then a fresh log is created for the current month. So, for each month I have "log mm-yyyy".
Now, the chart file is a thirteen month rolling chart (meaning every month it must show the thirteen most recent month's totals). I have created a macro to automatically update the links, based on an input in cell A:1 (meaning you can enter a date in the past and view the thirteen months previous). The problem is that we have only been doing the log for 10 months. So, when the macro runs to update the links, and it gets to months 11 through 13, it pops up a window for the user to manually browse for the missing(non-existent) files. There are quite a few cells that contain links to various information on these logs. I get a prompt for each cell and have to click "cancel". Once I have clicked cancel through all of the broken links, then everything works great.
My question (after all that) is, is there a way to suppress the prompt for the user to search for the missing file? Like I said, this chart is for management, and they shouldn't have to click cancel a dozen times just o look at a chart. If the file doesn't exist, then just break the link.
Obviously once the next three months are over, this problem will disappear, but in the mean time I need a solution.

I am using this formula for long now
=SUMPRODUCT(('[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Nov 12'!$C$2:$C$251=$H$1)*'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Nov 12'!$G$2:$G$251)
every month i just add a new sheet and change the month name in the formula to that eg
I changed it to
=SUMPRODUCT(('[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$C$2:$C$251=$H$1)*'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$G$2:$G$251)
but now it is not calculating the answer is coming as #value!.
Then I tried to add up by
=VLOOKUP($H$1,'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$C$2:$G$215,5,TRUE)
but it does not add all the entries only one entry is shown.
I want the total of the column G. looking up for values in C = H1 value

I have the following three columns of Data and I'm using this formula to calculate the %age difference cells:
=IF(ISERROR((F14-F13)/F13), " ", IF(ISBLANK(F14)," ",IF(F14=0,"-100%",(F14-F13)/F13)))
A - No. of Hits B - %age difference C - Weekly Average
25
50 100%
25 -50%
0 -100%
20
0 -100%
0
50
I have left blank the "cells" which are giving me trouble, and my troubles are as follow:
-Where the value of the previous month was 0 and the value of the current month is higher my output is Blank, ideally I would like this to show as 100%
-Where the value of two months in a row are 0 I would like the value to show as 0% for the second month
I did add extra into the formula so it would show the 100%, unfortunately it did this for any consecutive months at 0 also which was incorrect.

I'm trying to create a formula that will added the correct amount in the correct cells, I have create a dunny sheet in trying to achieve this. If Cell B8:B11 = ABS or Dum that any points won should be added to Cell L8:L11 right now its adding it into K8:K11. If Cell B8:B11 = is Blank any player points should be added to cells K8:K11. I'm using this formula throughout cells K8:K28 =IF(J8>J25,1,IF(AND(J8<>0,J8=J25),0.5,0)) Any thing in red is incorrect anything in blue is what I'm trying to achieve.

We receive about 20 sales files of several hundred lines of data each day from various agencies. I want to create a macro / VBA code which checks that the data submitted is correct so that we can upload it into our database without import errors and / or having to manually check each line of data.
I envisage something like an output report:
#####################
149 entries
Column A - Date - OK
Column B - Customer_Phone - Errors (Should be 11 digits)
Row 21 - Customer_Phone - Error (Not 11 digits)
Row 108 - Customer_Phone - Error (Contains letters)
Column C - Outcome - OK
Please correct and re-check.

However, I have got an Excel file which contains a lot of information. There are four sheets with large Pivot Tables.
But the thing is, the plan is to do the tables much larger, create tables which more specifically shows information. When doing so, the tables will show much more information, and therefore be much larger. It will be difficult to read and understand the tables because of the large amount of information.
What I want is to store information in, for example, another program such as Microsoft Access. There, I can put a huge amount of information and then link it to Excel, so that in Excel I only see the Access stored information when I "search" for it with y created slicers. Like, when I use my slicers and click on one category it sort out and shows me the information i want, even though it's stored in Access. It only shows it in Excel when I "ask" for it. This is what I have thought.

I would like to write a macro that links cells in one workbook (working) to cells in another workbook (summary).
I don't want this to be a straight swap thought, I'd like it to contain the following formula:
=IF(Working!G8="a","a","")
The cells in the working workbook are listed vertically, while the cells in the summary workbook are listed horizontally.
ie. link G8-G18 in working to B3-K3 in summary
link H8-H18 in working to B4-K4 in summary
...etc

I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?

I am trying to date and time stamp a certain cell. This cell is going to be compared to another cell in another sheet (also date and time) so that I can track deadlines being met.
I am using the following code to stamp the cell:
VB:
Range("F26").NumberFormat = "[$-409]m/d/yy h:mm AM/PM;@".Value = Now()
Even with the number format, the cell is not stamped as a number. As a result I get #value errors when I take the difference between the stamped cell and the cell with the preset deadlines.

I am trying to do with this spreadsheet project,
On the "Master" tab, I would paste in the newest information received from our system weeklywhich is around 2600 rows. I want to then compare the Master sheet to the other tabs and if there is a new Serial Number present in column I, then add that row of data to the next available row at the bottom to the correct tab.
The Orange tabs Fleet Volume PC, Fleet Volume BW, Fleet Volume Duplex will house all countries and all serial numbers but Fleet Volume Color tab will only have Color Serial Numbers for all countries, column J on the Master tab.
So, the same will goes for the USA Volume and CAN Volumes tab, only those serial numbers for that country will falls in these tabs and color only will go in the color tabs. There are 14 other tabs missing from this workbook with other countries, just removed to keep size of file within limits.
From my workbook, rows 29 to 33 on the Master tab are new serial numbers.
Also, I want to highlight the data on the Master, after comparing this Master tab to the other tabs and within the Master highlight in yellow the cells that have new updated information!

I have two processes that has to run depending of the week number of the year. So even weeks has to run "sub 2" and odd weeks has to run "sub 1".
Weeks with number 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 etc has to call "sub 1" and weeks 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16 etc has to call "sub 2".
The filenames consist of "name_name_YYYYMMDD.xls" (example: SteveSmith_Runningshoes_20140719.xls)
So vba needs to calculate the week number by reading the YYYYMMDD of the filename and then call the correct sub.

I have a querytable running on my sql database. In the query I have a trimleft function because the numbers are stored with several proceeding blank spaces. When I execute the query through my macro, everything works fine, except I can't average or sum the results. They can be multiplied, divided, etc, but not averaged or summed (they just show as zero on summing, which makes the average DIV/0). The really strange part is that if I select a number and go to the formula bar and hit delete at the beginning of the number (which actually deletes nothing), the number is suddenly capable of actually performing as a number. I assume this has something to do with how the querytable is returning my results, but does anyone have an idea for a workaround for this issue?

In my header I am trying to show the current page number and the total number of pages in the workbook. So if I have 10 pages in my workbook, page 5 would read "5 of 10".
I have this in my header "&[Page] of &[Pages]". All worksheets with 1 page read "1 of 1" and worksheets with 2 pages read "1 of 2" on the first page and "2 of 2" on the second page.

I have several sources of information for client files. the number format includes a reference number and a month, eg 123/11, 456/02. In some cases, the numbers may be presented including the company initials, eg ABC/00123/11. I want to make sure all numbers on all sources are the same as I am using Vlookup and this reference no to copy information from one source to another. Sometimes when I change the format Excel sees this as a date, eg 11/11 is 11-Nov, and in some cases Excel sees a fraction, eg 123/11 is 123 11ths or 123 divided by 11.
I can easily take out the reference no with a find and replace FIND ABC/ replace with . But this often results in a number with leading zeroes, eg ABC/0123/06 will leave 0123/06.
I am using Excel 2003.

I have a table with 3 columns of dates and then a column with Set # that I
feel in the box #.
I need to see how many items processed for each set per day.
Example:
[url]
The problem is that it counts the correct amount but not with the correct
dates.
The formula that I use is:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($I$3:$I$8<>"")*(($C$3:$C$8=39601)+AND($E$3:$E$8=39601)+AND($G$3:$G$8=39601)))

If you look at the attached file in Column E line 47 you will see that it displays
373.97. However if you look in the formula bar it shows 373.9694. I am trying to make it so that the formula bar shows the same number as in the cell. Any idea on how to do this? I have tried everything I know how to do, which is not much.

Instead of inserting the name one by one, I can easily know who had given the envelope by their number.

I have a spreadsheet that has 5 columns, with the headers:
Code
Description
Colour
Size
Price
There are over 500 lines on this spreadsheet.
The Blue headers have all the information filled in, whereas the Red headers do not.
I have a second tab on that spreadsheet with the below information filled in.
Code
Description
Colour

Price
Now my problem is that I need to merge the 2 tabs into 1...however....
The codes on tabs are not in the same order, and on the first tab, they are interspersed with merged rows with the category name, whereas the second tab they are just a full list.

Create some sort of formula combination or macro that will: Recognise a cell with a value of 1, 2 or 3 in. If 3 is in the cell, the cell to its left will be counted and added to a total. If the cell that has 3 in changes the value is removed from the total. Ive tried lots of methods but i cant figure this one out!

How to make a formula with references to certain cells, so I can sort the sheet but keep the formula referring to the same cells as before the sorting?
In the example I illustrated the problem: when I sort the data, the formula refers to the same cells which have now different values, so the calculation is not right anymore.
