I have about 45 worksheets in one file. Then all have been named. Is there any quick way to order them? I would prefer not to move each one.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to ensure that a worksheet is ordered after another in a workbook. The macro that this code is in opens a selected file and carries out various operatins on it, so although I can do this fine when the worksheet needs to be created, there are scenarios where it already exists and I simply need to change the order. The sheet that must come in position 1 does not have a common name and so I cannot reference it via it's name in the code. The other sheet is named when it is created so it doesn't necesarilly have to be in position 2, it's just that the other one needs to be in position 1.

If a player (row) is deleted, that ranking number is also gone. Is there a way to make the A column always maintain the integrity and completeness of the numbering, e.g. if rank (row) 16 is deleted, the range of B17:U100 moves one row up and the former 17 is now 16? And if a new row is inserted, the ranking numbers after the insertion move up one row and a new number is added at the end?
2. There are 6 columns of scores, P to U. But out of these 6 scores, only the best 4 count for the ranking. The two worst (highest) scores are dropped. Is there a way to automate the process by selecting only the 4 best (lowest) numbers to be summed into the Total column (C), which in turn determines the rankings in the A column?*
And then can the whole range B2:U100 automatically be sorted according to the ranking in column (A)?
*It is possible that there are 3 or 4 bad scores, all with the same value. In that case only 2 could be discarded, and 1 or 2 would be summed into the ranking cell.
i have a 5 by 10 table (5 columns 10 rows)
values only equal 1 or blank
i want to re-order this table in another identical table so that no row will have more than one value (each row will have a maximum of one "1")
currently, the table looks something like this:
blank blank blank 1 1
blank blank blank blank 1
blank blank blank blank 1
blank blank blank blank blank
blank blank blank blank blank
what i would like the idential table to show is:
blank blank blank 1 blank
blank blank blank blank 1
blank blank blank blank 1
blank blank blank blank 1
blank blank blank blank blank
I have 320 rows of data, of which the date is in the first column. I need the data sorted into date order, ie. 04.05.12-->30.04.13 and all the dates in-between (note these are British laid out dates). I am aware, and have already done Format Cells --> Date --> 14.03.01, as this is how my dates are laid out.
I've tried sorting this column, ascending, descending etc etc etc, obviously it needs to be 'expanded' to ensure that the rest of the data in the row follows it to its new position. No joy. It only ever sorts the dates by the day ie. 02.04.13, 04.12.12, 06.06.12. Doing it by the day and not the month and the year also.
I don't want to order 320 data rows myself!
I have an enquiry where I'm trying to order error messages which occurs in if, ElseIf and Else Statements. The code I have works. However, I would like the error messages to be checked in a particular order. I tried rearranging the conditional statements but had no success. Here is my

I have just discovered vlookup which seemed perfect - until I discovered that when there are two or more identical prices it only returns the 1st horses name.
Is there any way I can use vlookup to do this (with more than one identical value)
I am trying to come up with a formula which would combine two groups of numbers, put them in numberial order and remove duplicate numbers:
3 6 10 22
1 3 5 9 10 13 19
The above two groups of numbers are in separate cells in two different rows.
the result would also be in a different row: 1 3 5 6 9 10 13 19 22
I need to make a spreadsheet on excel which shows the production schedule of a product over 4 days.
Then I need to make a supply ordering sheet which shows how much supplies are needed to do the above task and how much each item in the supply list will cost and when the items would need to be ordered.
setting up a stock ordering system in Excel. I have been sent a spreadsheet with about 400 items I've ordered before and about 15 columns of descriptions which include the name, category of item, manufacturer, cost, number etc.
I would like to set up a simple Excel spreadsheet which staff can use when they want to order some stock, which will automatically fill in the adjacent cells with the product category and unit cost, once the name has been typed into the first cell. Once I add the SUM formula I can therefore have an immediate total of how much each staff member is spending on stock that week, without having to look at the invoice I get back from the supplier.
I know Excel has a predictive text style feature (autocomplete?) but I don't know how to get it to automatically fill several cells in a row with data that is linked to the first cell.
I would like to reorder a list whilst ignoring any 0 values. I've attached (I hope correctly!) a spreadsheet of what I mean. It's pretty simple, but I've been banging my head over it for a while now!

I have the following macro:-
ActiveSheet.Select
ActiveSheet.Copy
Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
Range("A2:B500").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B2:B500"), order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("A6:A250"), order2:=xlAscending
Within this I would like to add a couple of features which check:-
1) If there is a number in column A - there should be one in column B
2) The numbers in column B are sequential i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc without any gaps in the sequence
1 - We receive an excel file from our customer (approx 20 different customers in total)
2 - I have an excel template we have to use, which will import into our MIS software. This excel template must remain the same or it wont import into our system. ie (Columns must be in this particular order)
3 - Our customer sends their own spreadsheets in their own formats ie, column in a different order to our excel template.
4 - I need to know if there is a quick way to remap customer columns into my excel template
5 - Im looking for a little application that will look at the customer spreadsheet and our template in the same window and let me link which fields need to map where in my template. When I have completed I can save what ive done and run when needed for this customer.
I have a list on flower names in column A , and the colors in Column B. For sorting purposes I have duplicates in Column A. I am creating an easier way for coworkers to organize the ordering process from wholesalers. On the order sheet It will have the dropdown that lets them choose the flower (ultimately I hope to make this searchable,) Once the flower is selected the next column will allow them to choose from the color available.

View 8 Replies View Relatedin 1 workbook i have 2 sheets (sheet1 and sheet2) with same format of data that I need to compare and compile in sheet3 by a primary key column.
example:
sheet 1 & 2 data format:
|Atr1|Key|Atr2|SubAtr1_1|SubKey1|SubAtr1_2|SubAtr2_1|SubKey2|SubAtr2_2|Atr3|
..................... ......................................../......................................../
......................................Set1.....................................Set2
To be more specific I can compare this with an electrical wiring table, where:
Key is the wire number
Atr1, Atr2, Atr3 are general atributes of the wire number
Set1 are the atributes of the first end of the wire, called "from":
SubKey1 is the "from" device and its subatributes SubAtr1_1 & SubAtr1_2
Similar for the other end of the wire is Set2.
This means that Set1 and Set 2 have similar format & type of data.
I have found on your site an example of macro that is doing the comparision between the 2 sheets of data but I encountered a problem...sometimes on sheet2 Set1 and Set2 are reversed and are highlighted as a difference but I don't want this.
Please help me with macro that would create a rearranged copy of sheet 2 respecting the following conditions:
1. if Key from sheet1 cannot be found on sheet2 then copy entire row on sheet3.
2. if Key from sheet2 cannot be found on sheet1 then copy entire row on sheet3.
3. If Key from sheet1 = Key from sheet2
If SubKey1 from sheet1 = SubKey2 from sheet2
& SubKey2 from sheet1 = SubKey1 from sheet2
Then reverse Set1 with Set2 by swapping cells
and copy entire row (with Set1 and Set2 reversed)to sheet3.
All data on sheet 3 should be sorted by Key.
I must put in descendent order some columns, but the thing is a bit more complicated...
As my english is not very good i am gonna explain it with a simple example:
----------------------------------
1 4 2 5 rabit fox dog cat
2 6 1 3 bird fis wolf mouse
----------------------------------------
Ok, i must order the numbers in a ascendent way, but reordering one number means also reordering its correspondient name (the name of the animals at its right).
So, again, with an example you will see it better:
Ordering the first row it must appear like this:
----------------------------------------------
1 2 4 5 rabit dog fox cat
----------------------------------------------
I didnt know if i had to post it here or in other subforum and either if it can be done with excel.
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.
I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age
-------------------
Dog - Rover - 3
Goldfish - Tom - 1
Gerbil - Chewit - 4
I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making my own gradebook (attached) and one of my sheets will list scores for each student in different assignments. I have one sheet which keeps track of all students and all assignments with other info. I would like to program cells in one sheet (the third in the attached file) to lookup a particular student's grade in a particular assignment. I figured trying a LOOKUP with an AND requirement might work but it keeps returning the message "could not find value".
My formula references the student's name and the assignment from the identifying cells so that it is easy to copy and paste. I wondered if it was this which resulted in the error, but doubt it.
I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.

(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).
I have a very large spreadsheet of customer information(I call it the master spreadsheet). Each row contains only 3 things: Account number, product bought, Price
Later I receive the money from the customer for that product(the pay sheet) that contains the exact same thing in the same order: Account number, Product bought, Price paid.
What I'm trying to do is compare the two spreadsheets so that when i receive the pay sheet of cusomters who have paid with the amount it will deduct it from the master sheet.
So it should compare account numbers when it finds a match then it should subtract the amount paid (column C) from the master spreadheet price column(column C also).
sometimes customers don't pay the right price so it has to be a subtraction so I can see if it was over paied, underpaid etc.
Right now I'm still doing it manually combining the two documents sorting it by account number and checking for matches in column A (account number).
I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing
and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will
ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the
worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.
I have 3 Sheets named Paid, Rejected, and Reprocessed.
On the Paid and Rejected sheets I have 2 fields Customer # (Column A), and Amount (Column Q). (The customer # field has many duplicates but the amounts are never duplicates)
On the Reprocessed sheet I have all the rejected items (all fields) and also a field named Reprocessed. I need to use a formula that will check the Paid sheet for any items that have the same Customer # and Amount and return the amount
There are 8,216 rejected items and 45,047 paid items. Some items were originally rejected have been reprocessed and show under paid.
Any thoughts on which formula I should use?
