Locate Value From Table, From Two Predefined Variables?
Oct 12, 2009
Struggling a bit on this one! I have tried the index function, but doesn’t quite work how I need it. Consider the attachment as an example:
I have three cells, 2 of which are drop down lists, and the third is simply the result from the input variables. The yellow and green section contains the info for my drop down lists, and the orange contains the data range. Trouble is ‘Index’ is looking at the contents of my cells, and not the corresponding cell address. So lets say I have cells F5 and A8, the answer I would be looking for is 23.7, but because the contents of my input cells are 185, and 5, its looking for column 185 and row 5, when I want it to look for the column/row that relates to these values, i.e. column 6, row 8.
I require a bit of code that locates where the excel file is stored - it then searches that directory folder for all file names. Any file names with an extension *.hm for example are listed in column A, while their relevant 'Dates of last Modification' are listed in Column B.
Every time the spreadsheet opens it should ask the user if he/she requires a re-search of this directory and update of any file names accordingly. NB: if a file name is deleted from the directory, the file name should remain in the spreadsheet.
Other than using the search on a 1 by 1 basis, is there an easier way to locate Declared variables that are unused in the code and/or Public variables that are only used in 1 sub/function?
I currently have a 200 row table spanning 10 columns. There is one numeric column and the rest are free text. The table charts the different contents on one of the shared drives here at work. The drive is frequently in use with things being added and removed from it.
I have an excel table already which can sort the contents in order of size (numeric row) or name of the folder (the first text column). I have two buttons at the top. The first inserts a row, which I did by recording a macro and then copying the code into the button.
The second I would like to do the following: When a user selects a cell in a row, the button, then clicked, deletes the entire row. Not just the data in it, but excises the row itself and stitches the surrounding materials together. The code to delete a row I could obtain easily, but I can't work out to say "find the selected cell, and take out the row it belongs to".
I have a dataset in one work sheet. The data, cells, can be lovated by three identifiers. Each column has an identifier (month) and each row have two identifier that has to combined. Region and Year.
Below is an example that shows the layout of the data.
see attached pivot table... I believe that there is a statistical relationship between column B & C (together, i.e. their combined effect) upon column D. i.e. (B & C) - have some relationship to effect D.
(1) What formula would I use to measure this correlation?
I'm interested in creating a two variable data table with the two variables in the top two rows.
I'm aware that two variable data tables are usually done in an array with variables in the top row and leftmost column. However, as there are multiple outputs to the variations that I want to make it makes sense to have the variations in the two top rows.
I'm trying to figure out how best to build a table to do:
IF A1="yes", "no", "na" and IF B1="yes", "no","na" and IF C1="yes","no","na" then "AT" or "IC" or "VE"
So, I need a table that can look up responses to three questions, then lookup the corresponding answer (AT, IC or VE). Some of the combinations of anwers will yield the same anwer (i.e: yes, yes, yes=AT and yes,yes,no=also AT). I'm trying to come up with the most probable answer by evaluating these three questions; Thus; 10 combinations will yield an answer of "AT", 10 combo will yield "IC" and 7 combo will yield "VE". I've done this with 2 variables, but can't seem to get it to work with three...
Is there a way to test out a formula using Excel that has more than 2 variables? (If only 2 variables, I would use a simple data table). The formula I am testing has 50X50X20 variables (and as a subset, each variable has 2500 lines of assumptions!). I don't need to see all the results, only the result that produces the highest result. For simplicity (if someone has an answer) let's assume 3 variables are A1, A2 and A3. Formula is in A4 and formula is A1+A2+A3. Assuming A1 can be 1 to 5 and A2 same , A3 same, the long hand calc is for me to run a data table using variables in A1 and A2 the fixing A3 (as 1)..note maximum result....then run data table again using variables in A1 and A2 and changing fixed value in A3 to the number 2...and so on and so on....in this simple example I know the max result would be 15, but much more difficult in my spreadsheet test.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet containing a table of dimensions that are multiples of up to six loadable variables. I work for a stainless steel tank manufacturer. The body of tanks are formed from coil stock of varying widths. Typically these might be 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and possibly 1800mm as well as the imperial equivalents. This could mean up to eight variables but in reality all are unlikely at any one given time.
We are told the volume that the tank is required to contain and a target preferred diameter. The theoretical height is therefore derived from this information. But now comes the tricky bit. It is desirable, to minimise cost of welding by minimising the number of strakes or wrappers. Can anyone give me a formula or whatever that can be used to do this and hopefully generate a table of close heights up to say 40 meters. Thus allowing an operator to select from say five presented options.
I have a table in a spreadsheet that the three principal widths of 1200mm 1500mm and 2000mm generate. It was created for me a while ago by a gentleman working at the Amsterdam Museum that I’m happy to send for perusal. The trouble is he never told me how he did it and no matter how hard I try, I cannot discover the method or formula. The first column gives the total combined height, the second the number of 1200mm wrappers, the third the number of 1500mm and the last the number of 2000mm. It is that simple
I have a query about using Array Variables in excel VBA. I have a set of lookup tables and a main data table. The data table will be downloaded everyday. I need to replace the ID's in the main table with actual data from the Lookup tables.
e.g. Main Data Table Color Operator 005--325 005 004--326 004 003--327 001--328 002--322
Lookup Color 001 - Red 002 - Blue 003 - Green 004 - Violet 005 - White
I have a huge amount of data in the main table. So I can't use a lookup formula for automation. Rather I would like to use VBA to create array variables, scan and copy the lookup data into the array and replace the ID's in the main table.
Only that I am unable to achieve this using arrays. I am very basic in executing code related to Arrays.
I was trying to use the VBA code to generate a data table:
Private Sub createDataTable(WS As Worksheet, initialRow As Integer, numCol As Integer, numRows As Integer) Dim initialCell As Range 'specify the upper left cell Dim RefCell As Range 'the reference cell on the caculator sheet
'activate source sheet ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Calculator").Activate Set RefCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) WS.Activate Set initialCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(initialRow, 1) initialCell.offset(numRows, numCol).Select Selection.Table ColumnInput:=RefCell 'the calculation should be automatic, if not, then calculate WS.Calculate End Sub
and it kept giving me an input celll not valid error on this line: Selection.Table ColumnInput:=RefCell the thing is, I have defined RefCell as a range object, so it should be OK rite?
For what I'd like to do, the attached workbook actually represents 3 worksheet. one input sheet and two output sheets (output1 and output2)
I plan to use command button " CommandButton1" on input sheet to start the calculations
Here's what I want to do after pressing the " CommandButton1" :
1. start with case 1 and find the value of Input A to Input J from input table using Vlookup and paste those values to respective palceholder for inputs in blue colour area above the input table for each input.
2.for empty cell in the input table paste 0 (zero)
3. after this will give results for case 1 inputs on sheets "output1" and "output2" on basis of formulas used for each output
4.then copy the results for case 1 inputs from sheet "output1" and "output2" and paste them on "input sheet " in Output table (its below Input Table) next to case1
5.Do this for all cases (in actual workbook there will be more than 100 cases)
I need to be able to locate some important columns in a table of raw data (the column locations are not fixed).
I would like to identify the locations (based on the heading values in Row 1) and store them as Public variables. The Match function works fine for this, however I'd like to make a simple loop to set these variables (opposed to repeating the function for each).
In the example below, I can't figure out how to reference "List1(Count)" as the name of the variable I'm trying to set.
Code:
Public Field1 As Long, Field2 As Long, Field3 As Long 'The column numbers will be stored here Sub FindFields() Dim List1(3), List2(3) Dim Count As Long 'Public variables (declared above)
[Code] ......
So after running FindFields(), the Test1() macro should give "1 - 2 - 3" (for example) as the locations of the fields in Sheet1. But currently this doesn't work.
I am having a set of names in one column and would like to print various combination of names in to another column. In sample data set, there are 30 names of entries in column B and like to print 4 data set i.e. 1st three set of combination of column B print into the column C similarly for other set of six, twelve and all kind of combination. Please find the detail in attached excel sheet.
I've seen a lot of traffic around running macro's on a clock at regular intervals. But what if I want to run a Macro (Macro1) at 8:55, 9:55, 11:55, 12:55, 13:55, 16:55 and another Macro (Macro2) at the top of each of those hours? The string of times is not consecutive, so I have built a table to define the release times. At each of these times I need to run a macros, and I'm not sure where to begin.
I have a button in my worksheet. When clicked on I want to change the text in this button so far so good. I have however a problem how to return to the cell that was active, the moment I clicked the button. so far I have the following code
After all the work and calculations applied to data from various macros, I would like to have a final macro simply insert a title row, always the top row with various titles. Theres 11 columns, thus it would be great for the code to simply insert the row with predefined bolded titles, such as T1, T2, T3....T11. These 11 cells would than share then same bolded bottom line, making it visibly separated from the rest of the rows. I know this is easy, and Ive looked throughout the forum, but I can find things close, but not close enough.
I want B1 to copy from A1, but if A1 contains a certain text string, then remove that text string and keep everything else. For example, I want B1 to remove "ru" "la" "fm" and "mu" so if A1 is 5464ru-xl then B1 will return 5464-xl or if A1 is 36944la-s then B1 returns 36994-s
My wife is a teacher and she has asked me if there was a way of randomly selecting a child's name from a pre-defind list and for that child not to be selected again during that session.
Some criteria:
Up to 35 children in the class (selected from a pre-defind list)A child can only by picked on once during the lessonA method needs to be in place for seelcting the child's name (either a button that can be pressed, or another option).
I'm looking for: a cell (in column C) that sums Column C from C6 to the row above said cell. (A Total) So if new rows were added, these values would be included in the sum.
What I'm currently working with is a simple Sum formula, but this sum does not include rows added after the predefined sum range.
I have a workbook which has a variety of command buttons with assigned macros, one of which is a product detail button which redirects to a new worksheet.
Is it possible to be able to click on the button, display a new window (the new worksheet), but only display a section of it?
For example, I have 5 products. Each of the five products are detailed on the same worksheet and I have a button for each. I would like Button 1 to open up the details for product 1 only and button 2 to open up product 2 details etc.
I could go to individual sheets, but if I had 2000 products, the book would be a little large.
Excel 2003: I need code that, when an "x" is entered in a cell in the "Activity" worksheet to assign a temporary unit #, it will look for the next available Temporary Unit # in the "Assign" worksheet. Then mark that unit # as "assigned" (by placing an "X" in the column next to it) and copy it to a cell in the "Activity" sheet.
I will be doing the same thing with assigning different types of PO numbers. I figure if I have the code for the Unit #, I can use the same logic for the other assignments, with some modifications, of course.
I've attached a sample workbook.
If I am not considering the most effective way to accomplish what I am trying to do here, I have no ego at all about someone suggesting a better solution.
I have a worksheet that logs equipment activities. Equipment may already have a standard unit # assigned to it or it may need a temporary unit # assigned for tracking. In a separate worksheet is a column of predefined temp unit #'s that can be assigned and next it is a column to place an "X" once a unit # has been assigned.
I need to write logic that, when an "X" is entered in Column F (Assign a Unit #) of the Activities worksheet, the Unit # (Column G) will automatically select the next available Temp Unit # in the Assign worksheet...and mark that Unit # as no longer available. Quite frankly, this may be more easily done with VBA, but I am not experienced in that at all. I have attached a sample worksheet showing the format of the unit # to be assigned, etc.
I had posted earlier to see if there was a way to protect certain cells from being updated when using a linked excel spreadsheet to access. Since there have been no replies I'm assuming not.
Different approach, can I create a Macro that would run after the update that would insert my required text into each cell from A2 through to R2.
The text would always be the same and always in exactly the same cells. This would need to be an insert into and not a replacement of the data already in those cells.
A1 B1 C1 D1 State BUName InsuranceCompanyName Claim ROnumber Renter Last Name
The text under each of the A2, B2, C2 etc is what I would want the macro to do for me, essentially putting back what the update from the linked source removed.
