Link To Address Of Data In Other Workbook Inside A Formula
Nov 9, 2009
I'm trying to use some data from other workbooks in a formula. However, the path to the other workbooks we are using will often change.
I think that the user can enter the path to the other workbook in a cell in this workbook. However, I'm getting errors in my formula and am not sure how to make the formula use the cell to reference the location of the workbook that has the data that we want.
This is what I have, but it's giving me an error.
=Countif(' & 'Instructions'!B9 & Planning'!$I$3:$I$100, "C")
'Instructions'!B9 contains the location of the other workbook in the format \path[filename] Planning'!$I$3:$I$100 is the location of the range in the other workbook.

If I have a two files called test1.xls and test2.xls for example. Is it possible to link test1.xls to test2.xls by putting the filename in a cell?
i.e. In test2 put the filename in say A1 and in the link put the path and instead of naming the file you want to link to put in A1 instead.
I know it doesn't work if you do it that way I was just wondering if there was a way to do it.

Not sure if anybody has been succesful or not in the following but I am writing a macro to check that each hyperlink in my report is operational. My situation is as follows:
Cell A1 has the following hyperlink formula: =hyperlink(Worksheet1!B1,Worksheet1!B2)
I am attempting a workaround to capture the cell reference (B1) where the path and filename is stored and directing the macro to open the link. But when I try to send the hyperlink formula (Cell A1) to a string variable in vba, the result is the contents of Worksheet1!B2 instead of the entire formula.

I'm trying to calc a Simple Moving Average of financial Fund data (row=fund type, column=date) on a very large matrix for a particular fund and date range. I locate the Fund of interest and retrieve the Start and End dates of interest and retrieve their addresses using the ADDRESS function. Since ADDRESS returns a text string, HOW DO I incorporate it's results into the following array function (which ignors blanks and 0 cells): {=AVERAGE(IF($L$10:$V$10>0,$L$10:$V$10,FALSE))}?

is it possible inside this link to put a variable reference? for example to have a cell in my excel which in this case would be Report FY09 and if i change it to Repot FY08 the link would be c:Report FY08[PPV REVENUES FY 09 - Actual.xls]PPV Actual'!$C$4:$BB$4 or in another case if i have the name of the sheet like
='Report FY09'!D4
to do it
='Report FY08'!D4
or even the excel file
c:Report FY08[PPV REVENUES FY 09 - Actual.xls]PPV Actual'!$C$4:$BB$4
to do it
c:Report FY08[PPV REVENUES FY 08 - Actual.xls]PPV Actual'!$C$4:$BB$4

This is probably very simple I just can’t seem to figure out how to add a link field from one spreadsheet to another spreadsheet header.

I am attempting to setup a spreadsheet that summarizes data from a set of other workbooks. The woorkbooks the data comes from is different for each year. However, I would like to have just one summary that can be changed based on the year entered.
In B1 the user enters the year. Say 2012
In the bulk of the spread sheet below the cells refrence
='C:...["&B1&" Pt. Visit Stats.xlsx]Summary'!$B$6
As I am sure many of you can guess I am getting a #REF! error. I just do not see why it shouldn't work.
I do not want to use the indirect function, because the refering workbooks would need to be open to draw data. I am guessing that I will probably need to research the Harland Grove Pull VBA work or more likely include a copy of Morfunc and then use the indirect function. But, I though I would ask here first just in case I am missing something relatively simple.

How do I get rid of the link??? My formula seems like it is not working because it has a link which I cannot find anywhere.

Im looking to insert a formula in vba code that inserts the formula from a closed workbook to the active cell. At the moment i have this as an example of what i need:
VB:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='[SRS 5FFBEP.xlsm]7%'!RC"
However the file part in square brackets [SRS 5FFBEP.xlsm] and tab 7% i would like to replace with a link to a cell reference that contains the file path as this needs to change and update so i would end up something like this:
VB:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=('" & Workbooks(Worksheets("SRS Files").Range("d29")).Worksheets("SRS Import").Range("c10") & "'!RC)
Note that cell Worksheets("SRS Files").Range("d29") contains the full file path (in text format) and Worksheets("SRS Import").Range("c10") is the link to the tab that reads the 7% (in text format).
As it stands the first set of code works fine however i need it to be able to change as previously stated. So what i need is to replace the file name and tab with cell references

So I have a set of data in my sheet 2 that I want to be connected to sheet 1. The data in sheet 2 looks like this,
NO
Reaction
H
S
1
2Fe2O3 + 3C = 4Fe + 3CO2
105690
120.21
2
Cr2O3 + C = 2Cr + 1/2CO2
218,085
59.24
while in sheet 1,Reaction No
Carbothermic Rxn
H
S
What I want to do is that when I put a reaction no (e.g 1) at the empty cell next to the label Reaction No, the data in sheet2 (i.e. Reaction, H and S) would automatically be reflected in the empty cells next to Carbothermic Rxn, H and S.

I have is a summary worksheet with two columns. One column is for Project ID number and the other is an address link to a specific cell in the worksheet corresponding to the Project ID. Perhaps the best way to explain this is by giving an example:
Project ID (Column 1)
00-111
Balance (Column 2)
='C:Financial Sheets[00-111.xlsx]Phase_21'!$H$1
As you can see the spreadsheets are named after the Project ID number. What I would like to do, if possible, is instead of typing in the name of the spreadsheet for each project in column 2 (Balance), I could somehow reference the cell value in column 1 (Project ID). Something like this:
Project ID (Column 1)
00-111
Balance (Column 2)
='C:Financial Sheets["A2".xlsx]Phase_21'!$H$1..........

I have a Macro that is stored in a specific workbook,"Projection Modeler.xls" the last line performed in this macro is the close workbooks without saving chages(this needs to be done due to the way this macro was written, and it would take too long to rewrite). If I would then like to reopen this workbook, and then rerun this macro, can I do this from inside the current macro (in a new sub routine, for instance), or do I have to write a macro outside of the workbook and then open the workbook and call the routine?

I have a simlple macro to add a new customer to a list using a form. One of the columns of the datra beig added is an email address. When entering the data the email address just appears as text, but i want it to be the email address link you could click on and it opens up an outlook email. Just clicking into the cell and tabbing out changes this into the format i want, but wondering how to i get the macro to do this?

I am linking multiple workbooks together - the problem I am facing is that the cells that do not have any data inside the source workbook result in a "0" on the destination workbook. Currently I am using the paste link option. Here is the purpose of my workbooks. the "core" document will have multiple worksheets each pulling its data from single worksheet workbooks. These workbooks will contain current project status and will fluxuate in length.

I have a spreadsheet which has all the names of trips from a warehouse, the day that they operate (1,2,3 etc) and the job line allocated to each trip. It looks something like that:
A B C
DAYTRIPCUST
I would like to create a macro that will be creating 7 new workbooks and then in those workbooks as many sheets as the trips. In these sheets, the customers should be displayed.
How do I write it? I could not find how to have a "dynamic choice" in the macro. I.e. not to have the criteria as "1", "trips1" but to choose from the range of inputs that are available.

Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.
I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).
I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]
Questions:
1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?
2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?

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'm in need of a formula, or another automated technique, to link a column of data from one worksheet to another. I have an input worksheet that I copy the raw data into that is formatted as follows:
COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12004
Row 3 12011
Row 4 12020
Row 5 13050
etc...
I need this import sheet to link to an output worksheet that would be updated automatically as new data is entered into the input sheet. However, I need the output sheet to copy the input values a specified # of the times and list them. For example, if the specified # was 3, it would be formatted as follows:
COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12001
Row 3 12001
Row 4 12004
Row 5 12004
Row 6 12004
Row 7 12011
etc...
I need the formula, or method, to be one that I don't have to continually re-enter as the data changes, as I have thousands of records to do this with. I've tried filling down, but autofill doesn't recognize an accurate trend. Is this something that I can accomplish by combining several fomulas, creating macros, or a combination of the both?

I do a payroll workbook for my small company. Each sheet inside the workbook is a month. Each sheet totals the monthly labor categories. I would like to keep a "year to date" total on each employee and therefore would have to reference each sheet.
Setting up a formula (or tell me where to look) on how to total worksheets inside a workbook?
Example: the workbook contains a total of 12 sheets, representing the 12 months of the year. Add "cell reference" from sheet 1 to sheet 2 to sheet 3 to reach a total, then when sheet 4 is completed it contains the cumulative totals of all 4 sheets, etc., etc. Where I can look at this "year to date total" and compare to last years "year to date total".

=BDP("067901108 cn corp cusip","px_last")
is there a way to insert 067901108 cn corp cusip from a different cell into the formula?
067901108 cn corp cusip <---A1
067901108 us corp cusip <---A2
something like this?
=BDP("A1","px_last") which equal to =BDP("067901108 cn corp cusip","px_last")
=BDP("A2","px_last") which equal to =BDP("067901108 us corp cusip","px_last")

I have an excel work book that I want to extract certain info from Each tab where in the result tab I use this formula to get required data from another tab.
I has about 24 tab , in the 25th one i collect data from all previous , using below formula inside each cell to get
=INDEX('2014 wk12'!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'2014 wk12'!$A$1:$A$17,0))
Where 2014 wk12 is a tab name , so , it works fine
excel iss.png
What i want is t replace the sheet name which in previous example is 2014 wk12 with relative name in column A
The closest i have in mind is to make it as below ( it is not working ) so what shall be the working formula of the below
=INDEX('Tab name from Column A '!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'Tab name from Column A'!$A$1:$A$17,0))

=StacServer|Windham! '40720'
This is the format of an external call that I am trying to run. I need to change the number (40720) based on the day of the month (i.e. if its the 5th, then use 40725.
I am attemting to use a function to do this and passing in the device name (Windham) and location (40720). Unfortunately, I have been unable to get a String to send back as a formula. My attempt was as follows :
= Location ("Windham", 40720, "D7")
Function Location(name, num, cell)
Dim psDay As Integer
Dim psLocal As String
psDay = Day(Now)
Location = (Range(cell).Formula = "=StacServer|" & name & "!'" & (num + psDay) & "'")
End Function

How to get Excel to automatically link address to company names?
Background information
I have started making a database in Excel and added company names and adresses in two seperate columns. Later I checked for duplicates by pasting in the company names from a database I have made before. Now, about 50% of the company names remained and so I want to remove the duplicate company names and adresses from the first file without sifting through them manually.
Example
File prior to duplicate check/removal (tab called 'Database' in attached Excel file):
Company name 1 Address 1
Company name 2 Address 2
Company name 3 Address 3
Company name 4 Address 4
Company name 5 Address 5
Company name 6 Address 6
*used another database (without adresses) to check for duplicate company names*
File after duplicate check/removal (tab called 'Database (2) in attached Excel file):
Company name 1 Adress 1
Company name 3 Adress 2
Company name 4 Adress 3Adress 4
Adress 5
Adress 6
The idea is to make Excel automatically fill in the adresses from the companies that remain after the duplicates check from the tab called 'Database' on the tab called 'Database (2).

I have a challenge with conditional formatting. I have products A-K with sales current year and last year and want to have year on year growth. I want to have one column where the cell formatting changes based on data validation.
Let's say product A sold 60 items CY and 50 LY meaning YoY variance is +10 items or +20%. Hence, if the relevant cell says "%" then the YoY figure should say "+20%" (formatted as a percentage) and if "VALUES" then YoY should be 10 (formatted as numbers/absolute values).
Remember also that YoY growth can be +100% (or more), 0% and -100%.

LastRow = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRow
Worksheets("Sheet1").Formula = "=IFERROR(+IF(+K2=0,0,+R2/(+IF(+K2>L2,K2,L2)*$AE$1/365)/P2),0)"
If (Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AE" & i).Value < 1.5) And _
((Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("K" & i).Value > 0) Or (Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("L" & i).Value > 0)) Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AE" & i).Font.Color = 255
End If
Next i
My loop here works just fine, and my Formula works in testing. However when I move my formula inside the loop I get an error.
Is the syntax wrong in this line = Worksheets("Sheet1").Formula = "=IFERROR(+IF(+K2=0,0,+R2/(+IF(+K2>L2,K2,L2)*$AE$1/365)/P2),0)"

For some reason Absolute $ or INDIRECT is not working inside my formula when I add a row to my chart. Formula keeps adjusting.
Here is my formula...=IFERROR(LARGE(IF($B$5:$B$50=$K108,$A$5:$A$50),1),"")
$B$5:$B$50 goes to $B$6:$B$51 AND $A$5:$A$50 goes to $A$6:$A$51..... it can't do that, throws my counts out, needs to stay in this range B5:B50 and A5:A50 when I add a row to chart
Also when I use INDIRECT
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(LARGE(IF("B5:B50"=$K108),INDIRECT("A5:A50"),1),""))))
I keep getting a error with =$K108, which is a cell reference in my formula which the formula needs to look at
So what do I do, or what formula do I need to use to stop this from adjusting as I add rows to a chart to stop formula from adjusting?
