Populate A Cell Once; Using TODAY() Inside Function.
Sep 23, 2009
I'm starting a project where Excel will be used as the main UI for defining a table of data. I'm expecting to define a "template" - xlt i guess - that users can open and save as an xls, without over-writing the template. Users will populate the spreadsheet with a lot of help from user defined functions. I'm just getting started and would like to populate a particular cell with the current date, but only the first time the sheet is opened. I tried checking whether a cell was empty before assigning a value to it, of course this meant recursion!
Also: It might be nice to use the Today() function inside a UDF, but TODAY isn't a member of Application.WorksheetFunction - is there no way to reference TODAY() from within a UDF?

I'm trying to create a simple VBA function in Excel so that I can sort and calculate results based on various conditions. I can get everything to work except changing the color of the cell where the output is placed. Here is what I have so far:
Function nameOfMyFunction(arguments)
If conditions Then
nameOfMyFunction = "No GRP"
ActiveCell.Font.Color = RGB(255,0,0)
End If
I'm sure that its something simple, but I've spent long enough on my own trying to figure it out and nothing seems to work.

In Mr Excel's Pod Cast on April 12th, he showed how to use the OFFSET function to define a range inside a SUM function. Then he had Conditional Formatting that would highlight the range that was being summed. Can anyone tell me what the formula would be inside the Conditional Formatting dialog box to get the OFFSET range to have a certain format?

I'm in the process of creating a budgeting spreadsheet for monthly expenses. I have one column (D) as "Paid" and column (F) as "Date Paid". Is there a formula that can automatically insert today's date of entry into the "Date Paid" column, once the "Paid" column has been filled in with an amount?
For example: I enter $20 in the "Paid" column, then the "Date Paid" column is self populated with that particular days date. I would like to do this for every sheet.

If I put this in a cell it works fine =VLOOKUP(B3,DateRange,2,0) If I tell VBA to write that formula, it works fine.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-44],DateRange,2,0)"
If I put this in VBA: Range("AK1").Value = Application.VLookup(Range("B3").Value, Range("DateRange"), 2, False)
I get #N/A. I'm stumped - any ideas why this would happen, or how I can work this into my code? I need the vlookup to occur 1000s of times, and don't want to have to put the formula in the spreadsheet because I just want the results, not the 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))}?

=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

I have the following formula that has ceased to work in excel. I don't think there are any errors in it so I'm unsure as to why the link no longer works. Neither of the files I'm using has moved location on the server.
=IF(H7>0,(I7*H7)+((I7*H7/100)*VLOOKUP(B7,'T:FILEFILEFILE'!$B:$E,4,FALSE))+0.25,0)
I'm not sure if this makes much of a difference but people opening the file use various versions of Microsoft Office.

Solution for all: {=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$16,$F$34:$F$40,INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$K$16,0,MATCH(T$10,Sheet1!$B$1:$K $1,0))),U34:U40)}
Say I have an Excel workbook with two sheets: Employee Hours and Employee Wages. On the Hours sheet I have 31 columns (Jan1 - Jan31) with inputs for the number of hours worked by each employee by day. On the Wages sheet I have listed the same 31 columns with their wages each day (I do this to factor in wage increases that occur fairly often).
My goal is to use an INDEX/MATCH function to calculate the total daily compensation for each day on the Wages sheet by multiplying hours*wages for all employees that day. Here's the code I'm using:

i have written a code in VBA to interpolate the value of Y0 corresponding to X0 using a set of (X,Y) points. (I have written this in module1) . This function works when i call it through a Sub or another Function in VBA. but it does not work when I try to use it as a function in my excel worksheets (when I type : =interpolate(A1:A10,B1:B10,30) .... 30 is an arbitrary value). in this case I get #value! error
The function is known in within the worksheets because when I start typing its name, the Auto Name Complete feature of excel, finds this function.
I am new to VAB for excel. Please give me a hint to see my mistakes of if something is missing inside my code.

The first three formulas give valid results but the fourth example throws in an error after hitting Enter. As you can see I put in the HOUR function. As far as my knowledge goes the HOUR function generates an integer.
So why does C4 not work? Formulas go in column C
A
B
C
1
22
20
1
=COUNTIF(A1,">"&B1)

I have a spreadsheet that uses a function defined in VBA code that is housed in an add-in which is stored in the default location (C:Documents And Settings{user_name}Application DataMicrosoftAdd-Ins). To share this spreadsheet, I first install the add-in on the other person's computer. Then, when the other person opens the spreadsheet, the function doesn't work because the function call on the worksheet contains the whole path of the add-in (and the path contains my {user_name} rather than the other person's). So, the immediate solution is to just delete the path of the add-in from the function call (so that only the name of the function remains, plus the arguments of course). But this is quite inconvenient given the number of times the function appears in the worksheet, and it's not practical as we continue to share files like this.
My question is: is there a way to make sure that the 'C:Documents...' never gets added to the function call in the first place? I mean, why doesn't Excel just try to run the function locally before it adds that path that refers to a separate computer? I do realize that there are other methods of sharing VBA code. For example, I know that I could include the code in the specific spreadsheet that I'm trying to share, and this would work. But, that's not the answer I'm looking for (for one, the function refers to a very large amount of data stored in the add-in, and there are other reasons that make the aforementioned method impractical). I'm wondering if I'm missing something, and if there is a way to stop Excel from tacking on the path string to the function call, so that the function would just work on any computer as long as they have the add-in installed?

In a single cell, I want to say "Report Complete as of" and then the current date. Is there a way to use & the TODAY function that will return TODAY as a date in conjunction with the text? I keep getting "Report Complete as of 39743" instead of "Report Complete as of 10/22/08", for example, and I can't seem to convert the numbers to a date.

I need to find a way to take the TODAY() function and and split the individual digits out and recombine them to a text cell, i have tried using the MID function but it returns the serial rather than the actual number, e.g
today() 02/01/2009 needs to be shown as 020108 (this needs to be text rather than a number) as it is included within an INDIRECT formula.

I want a report header to be similar to: REPORT AS OF 2/23/10. If I use the TODAY() function by itself, I get the date; 2/23/10. But when I concatenate it with the text "REPORT AS OF " & TODAY()" I get REPORT AS OF 40232". How do I preserve the date format when I concatenate it with text?

I am using Row 3 as a my template to insert a row for every new line of data i enter. I have a macro that copies the format and formula on this template row to insert at the end every time. The problem is on ROW 3 Cell F i am using a Today() function and everytime i insert a row the date is populated. But the next day the date automatically update.
In my search on this forum, i found this macro to supposedly lock in the dates, but i doesn't work.
VBA:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Range("F2:F10000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
storage = Target.Value
Target.Value = Format(storage, "dd/mm/yy")
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I am getting a #REF error when using an INDIRECT function within a MATCH function to check against a dynamic named range. Basically, I am trying to get the row reference so that I can go back and extract other data from the row (in a table contained in another sheet) into the current worksheet.
I attach an example file for reference. The issue arises when a Dynamic Named Range is used. In the example file, if a value from a static range is chosen, the match with indirect function works, but it fails with the dynamic range.

I have a column, where i want to calculate the difference between today and another date/or viceversa. The problem is, that in the first two cells, it calculates it well, but then, it shows #VALUE and when I press to see the "calculations steps" , it shows "29/09/2009"-40049. It turns the today function into a number. Why?

I am trying to create a formula that will count days since an incident. Column A will have each day of the year in it Column 2, I would like to have 0 in it for each day In the event of an incident, I will replace the 0 with a 1 - but this should only happen on the date, rather than be maintained daily, if you take my point. I would like it to return a value based on todays date, counting the days in between today, and the last 1 entered. It is to cover the whole year.

I have a problem with the today Function. It appears that it changes each day. But that isn't what I want! I'd like to have a funtion that puts the current Date in a field when Data is being added in the Row and then having this date static the next day. Here is what I had so far but I have no clue to make the date static:
=IF(C10>0;TODAY();IF(D10>0;TODAY();" "))
in this case it checks for information in field C10 and D10 and if there is information it will add a Date like 2006-03-22. But new day the field will change to 2006-03-23 and that is not what i want. I want it to stay the same when data is put in and the date is being presented.

I would like to use a function or a button to put today's date in documents. The only function I found is "today" but it changes every day. I would like to put, lets say 17-11-13 and still have the same date tomorrow and not 18-11-13.

I am trying to use the OR function within an IF condition.
when I use each function seperatly, it works fine. but both functions
together always return the value of "B" - as false result, even when the
requested cell holds one of the true values.
for example:
=IF(B18=OR(148,150),"A","B")

I have a seemingly simple dilemna and wonder if there is a solution... I am not a PRO user, but can get by with my limited knowledge of excel.
My issue:
I create invoices for my business and in the invoice I use the "TODAY()" function to automatically insert the current day when I created the invoice.
Now when I need to go back and look at the old invoice or print it again it shows the CURRENT date, not the original date when it was saved. Is there a way to view and/or print out a file while keeping the original date intact or is there a better way to format a date to avoid this happening in the future.
I have since eliminated the function and just type in the date to avoid this but I have about 100 invoices that are saved that I may need to view their "original" dates on.

I'm in Excel 2010, and the cell with the date I want to work from is H22.
I'm trying to get the difference of the (date+12 months)-TODAY() to appear in months and days.
Here's the latest thing I tried (that doesn't work):
=IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")&" yrs, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths,
"&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days"))
I should also probably note that the date in H22 is the result of another function.
=EDATE(G22,12)
