Is there a way to use the offset function with a cell reference for the first reference?
I have many columns of named ranges, each representing a month of financial statement data. I want to pull up certain cell values based on the months being compared.
For instance, if the user selects "May", I want to pull only the sales data for May 2013, May 2012 and May 2011. That data is in the 311 row of the columns for each individual month.
=OFFSET(ytdmay2013,311,0,1,1)
In short, I am using a vlookup to get the ytdmay2013 based on the chosen month of May in the input section. If the user then chooses June, the lookup will return ytdjun2013. I want to link the ytdjun2013 in the offset function.
How can I modify the following formula to find the contents of reference cell, for example if the cell reference (G$3) is equal to 9 I want it to use 8 instead.
'maxCell.Offset(0, 1).Formula = "=max(maxCell.Offset(-5, -22) : (0, -22))" End If Next maxCell
I have two slightly different lines of code here (highlighted in red), one is commented, but i've been changing both to no avail.
I only want this to be triggered when the cell to the left (maxCell) is not empty, hence I use the offset feature. I've tried to use absolute references for the max formula, but then each cell has the same answer.
I have an income statement with the cities on top (column header) and the expenses below it. There are 5 cities for example. The last line is net profit before it changes to the next city.
New York (column header) Wages Lights Net Profit
Boston Lights Wages Sales Net Profit
How do you get the row reference for Boston Net Profit without using the offset or indirect function? (doing external linking with workbook closed) The formula would find Boston first and then look for the first net profit after Boston? The small if function may work for this.
I am having some difficulties using a combination of IF and the OFFSET function to display a range of cell values from another column based on a simple condition. The values I need to display at the destination cells should be offset by 8 columns to the right and "X" rows down from the reference column. The value "X" is to be determined via the IF function to check for the row index number.
For example, if Index value "X" = 8, then display the value of B2 in cell I9. IF X = "9", display B2 in cell I10 etc.
I have attached a sample worksheet that provides some examples.
i have 2 worksheets. one with portfolio stock data, and a second that i would like to use for dynamic charting. the chart worksheet has a drop down menu that chages a refernce cell to a number corresponding to the collumn in the portfolio worksheet for the chosen ticker
i would like to make a dynamic chart that updates the data ranges based on something like this: ....
(1) the user inputs a number into cells B2:B6 (arbitrarily shown as 3,4,3 and 2)
(2) the user then inputs a series of values into the respective columns E, G, I or K (corresponding to examples A-D, respectively) with SPACING between each value corresponding to the value entered in B2:B6.
For example, the value "4" is chosen in B3, so values are entered in column G at time = 0,4,8,12,16,20....etc
As another example, the value "3" is chosen in B4, so values are entered into column I at time = 8,11,14,17,20,23...etc, ie. the starting point is not necessarily t = 0.
(3) once the values have been entered as described in point (2) above, a series of results are automatically calculated in columns F,H,J and L.
NOTE: I have omitted the formulae for the calculation and have just entered arbitrary (color coded for clarity only-i don't need color coding!) numbers alongside each inputted value for the 4 examples A-D.
OK, so what I want to extract from the table for each example is the paired time AND result values, and then show them in a new table.
I have used an OFFSET formula (originally suggested by "daddylonglegs") to do this, and the results i GET are shown in columns O-V.
HOWEVER, what i WANT is the output as shown in columns Y-AF.
So as you will notice, there are 2 problems:
(1) Example C in columns S/T: value in cell B4 = 3, but the first value entered in column I does not start at a multiple of 3, so no values are returned in columns S/T because the offset function only uses row 6 as a reference point. What i want is the result shown in columns AC/AD.
How do i write a formula which says, "look down a column, find the first cell that has a value in it, and then offset from that cell/row" ?
(2) Example D in columns U/V: since the first input in column K starts a t = 12 (ie, cell K18), then i have 5 rows of empty space in columns U/V. What i want is the result shown in columns AE/AF.
Lastly, i should add that i am not necessarily stuck on using OFFSET function, since i keep reading that it is quite volatile.
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D 1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date 2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan 3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3) 4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code: =COUNTA(ABC!A:A) What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB ABC CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
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.
Sheet1 is a list of names, then a few columns of numbers. Sheet2 contains calculations based of the numbers in sheet1.
Each sheet from 2 on is names after the names in sheet1 column A... A large cell at the top of each sheet contains the formula to display the sheet name: =MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)
So what I want to do now is... in cell, look for the cell in sheet1, and display the value in the cell offset by X so i can bring the numbers from sheet1 over.
In plain english the cell would say like... "look in sheet1 for "Name" then display the cell next to it"
I know to look in the next sheet its "=Base!B2" if i wanted b2 on sheet base. I know to use "=OFFSET(Base!B2, , 1, , )" too look at B2 and go right 1 column. But the issue is i dont want Base!B2.. i want whatever cell in Base column A that has the text that A1 has.
If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F"
For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)) With C If IsDate(.Value) Then .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") Else .Offset(0, 3).Value = Right(.text, 4) End If End With Next C
which is supposed to read the cell offset 3 to the right, and then set to either YYYYMMDD or YYYY depenig on the value in the cell. I'm not sure how to specify the first part of this line - .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") - it keeps reading the cell in column A, rather than the offset cel.
how to explain this except by showing it, so I explained it as best I could in the attachment. Anyone think they have a solution for this? Let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
the macro will look at the value I entered in cell A1, then find all instances of it in Column A in every row that A1 matches, if the value in column E is "0", I need the macro to change the value in column E of that row from "0" to (that row's column B * $B$1)
I'm trying to do a column of individual discount calculations using a discount percentage found in a cell two to the right of a cell containing the text "Total SP:" that is always upwards and to the left of the cell where the formula goes (but could be two rows or could be 20). There are multiple "Total SP:" cells in the sheet - I always want the first one upwards. I have created the following but I get #NAME? where I hope to see the discounted value.
VB:
Dim Discount1 As Double Discount = Cells.Find(What:="Total SP:", After:=ActiveCell, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 2) Range("R9:R" & LastRow).Formula = "=IF(J9>0,$E9*(1-Discount1),0)"
I've just thought, the Cells.Find needs to be redone for each cell where the formula is inserted to ensure it always catches the correct discount and this isn't going to do that - it's going to find it once and always use that single value.
I think this needs a Loop or something and to move the ActiveCell down one after the formula to get it to redo the Cells.Find.
I would like to use this formula many times in the sheet, so I would need a reference to the cell the formula is in, and have the SUM range until the next empty cell one column to the left.
So I would need something like (literally):
=SUM(Offset activecell (1,-1) : Offset activecell (1, (look for next empty cell -1)) / Offset activecell (0,-1)
I'm trying to look at a value in one column (Column A) and if it matches a set of criteria, I'm trying to change the value of another cell 6 columns to the right.(Column G) I've been trying for a couple of days now to get this working, but to no avail. I've tried to modify the code below that I've found on this site but can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Sub RatingsFix1SP() Dim FindWhat, rngCell As Range, i As Integer FindWhat = Array("BB", "B", "CCC", "CC", "C", "CCC+") For i = 0 To 3 For Each rngCell In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) If InStr(rngCell, FindWhat(i)) <> 0 Then rngCell.Offset(0, 6) = 0.15 End If Next rngCell Next i End Sub
To try to clarify a bit: If column A in the attached spreadsheet has a rating code of BB, B, CCC, CC, C, or CCC+, I want the Haircut % rate in column G to be 15%. It seems the code that I'm using changes the % rate to 15% if any "B" or "C" shows up in any part of the string in column A.
I'm using the code below to perform the following:
Compare a column of project end dates (column G on the "In Flight Projects" sheet) with the dates in a row of column headers, and Where there is a match, count the number of projects which are being worked within that given month.
[Code] .....
The code works fine, but I'm having a little difficulty in making an amendment to the code:
In the following section of code I need to select the Range ("G8"), but then say if the value in the cell, offset minus 4 has the value of "C&R" then run the rest of the script :
[Code] .....
I've made the following changes, but I'm unable to get this to extract the figure despite not receiving any error message:
Is there any way to use the offset formula in reference to the location of another cell?
Here is a simplified version of my problem:
Sheet1!A1 refers to Sheet2!A1. Sheet1!B1 refers to Sheet2!D1. Sheet1!C1 refers to Sheet2!E1.
Is there any way that I can say that Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1 and then use the offset formula based on the location referenced in Sheet1!A1? The cells being referenced are merged cells one column wide and varying rows long, so there is no real pattern to follow except that the corresponding cells (the ones that I want to use the offset formula on) are all taking up the same amount of rows and are an equal amount of columns over (Sheet1!B1 refers to 3 columns over from Sheet2!A1, Sheet1!B1 refers to 4 columns over from Sheet2!A1). The spreadsheet is a fairly complex one and it would be much cleaner and less likely to have any mistakes if I was not referencing each cell individually.
This is only moving the selected cells across one, however - the content of the cells is what I wish to move so cell C25 has data pointing to another sheet cell A1 i.e. =Sheet1!$A$1 - can I edit this code so it alters the cell to reference B1, C1 etc....
I am trying to determine a cell row thru which I want to sum a column based on date. For example, if today is in the month of December, the offset is row 87. When the month changes to Jan 09, the offset will be 88.
I have the formula which does this for me, but I am not sure how to use it in the sum formula. So if I want the sum for December, it would be =SUM(K18:K87) and Jan would be =SUM(K18:K88). Here's the wrong formula:
=SUM(K18:K&(ROUND((TODAY()-39783)/30.35+87,0)))
What I cannot get is how to properly format the formula so that the :KXX increments based on the formula. I tried this: =SUM(K18:K(ROUND((TODAY()-39783)/30.35+87,0))) but get a NAME error.
I have a selection that I am going through with a 'for each' and then performing actions if the cells meet a certain criteria. I have been referencing nearby cells with the offset function, but now my sheet is too big and I need to change the code often and the offset function is difficult, is there anyway to refer to cells without the offset function, preferably by column letter
The Sheet below is an example of what I need to fill in daily
In column B I have the week commencing date (ie the Monday)
When the sheet is opened, I want the approriate day to be selected (ie the day before the current day)
Eg. if today is Friday 16th November, when the sheet is opened I want the cell for Sales on Thursday of the week which begins with 12/11/07 to be selected ie L5
If today is Monday 26th November i want Sales on Sunday of the week which begins with 19/11/07 to be selected ie U6 ....
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Cells(nrow + 1 + j, 2 + high_count).Formula = "=VAR(" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, n_high_count -1) & "," & ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) & ")" *n_high_count is the negative of high_count
I want "ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Cells(nrow + 1 + j, 2 + high_count)" to have the formula "=VAR(XX:XX)" where the range is the current row second column to the current row current column -1.
