How do you force excel to recompute for the formulas in the cells. I know excel automatically does it however running the delay in recomputing the formulas is making wrong reference. I need to monitor the location of the cell using the match function.
View 2 RepliesI am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

Have a huge data needs to count the 12 digi of numbers.
I am trying to find a way to match formulas from two cells (not the value but the formula). I am creating a smaller excel test where they can enter a formula (C3) and directly see if it matches the correct answer (F3) All I have found is formulas containing value comparison.

Lets suppose i have 5 columns of data. 3 of the cols have "formulas" in them and 2 do not. I want to count the number of formulas that are in a given row. Is there a way to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to adjust a simple formula that I am using:
=IF(D3<>"",1,"") **Note this is clunky, but ISBLANK doesn't seem to work due to D3 containing a formula**
to also change the fill color of A3 to "Red" if data exists in D3. Everywhere I look online for the formula reference tries to point me to Conditional Formatting, Which doesnt seem to apply to seperate cells so I can't use this.
I have a column of formulas I'm trying to sum. The SUM function gives me zero.
The formulas are simply pointing to another place in the spreadsheet so the contents of the column look like this:
=D11 (And it displays what's in D11... $1432 etc etc)
=D28
=D30
When I sum those I get Zero. Is there a better way to do this? All cells are formatted as currency
Also... cell D11 is actually a sum of different cells. (As are the rest of them) So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm trying to display the value in cell D11 and D28 and D30 and sum up the total.
I have a spreadsheet that has formulas in cells C3 to C10 (cells C3 to C10 have =(sheetc), (cells C3 to C10) formulas. I want to be able to add a row somewhere in between those cells and have the that new row take on the same cell formula as the others...resulting in cells C3 to C11 now having formulas..
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way of coppying formulas down a column but have a cell reference increase by one column for each row?
I have a lot of formulas to create and am hoping there is an easier way of doing it without editing each one
here is an example
first formula in cell D643
Code:
=IFERROR(SUM(C643+VLOOKUP(C147,RePro1,4,FALSE)),"")
next formula in cell D644
Code:
=IFERROR(SUM(C644+VLOOKUP(D147,RePro1,4,FALSE)),"")
how can I use a formula via VBA instead of putting it in the cell itself? It is causing me problems because when I put a formula in a entire row, all the cells five me the number ZERO, when I want them to stay without any number until I input something in the other row's cell in the same line. I will give an example: I would like that anytime I entry any number in a cell in column A the cell in column C will give me the number in column A times the number in column B (which is a variable daily updated via an internet connection), and when the cell in column A becomes "null" (that is when there is no number in the cell, not even a zero) the cell in column C also becomes null.
When I try to do it using formulas in the cells I always get a ZERO in all the column cause they read a 'null' as a 'zero'. Trying it using VBA I have some success but still have problems. I tried this code
If Target.Column = 3 Then Cells(Target.Row, 8) = Cells(Target.Row, 3) * Worksheets("Sheet4").Range("d32").Value
But it makes the cell in column 8 be static and change only when I click on the cell in column 3. I need it to change automatically when the number in D32 is changed too. As a formula in the cell would do.
is there any way to input a formula via VBA, how?
I have the current formula to use as a count based on 2 criteria.
=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(Order!A2:A65535,"m/dd/yy")=TEXT('Order Confirmation'!$L$13,"m/dd/yy"))*(Order!H2:H65535>=1)*(Order!A2:A65535"")*(Order!H2:H65535""))
Column A on my Order sheet is an entered date and L13 is a specific date criteria - this works fine on its own
Column H on my Order sheet is a calculated value (cells contain a formula) - this part does not work
I have tried changing the "*" to "," as I have seen suggested elsewhere but this does not work either. I believe that the SUMPRODUCT function is having trouble with the H column because it contains a formula and not an entered value. How to make this work or another way to accomplish the desired outcome?
I currently have my template protected, and I've been getting complaints that they can't modify the width, fonts etc. The only reason I have it protected is because I don't want them to mess with my formulas. How can i protect ONLY the formulas, and have the rest editable.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to merge the following formulas into a single cell . . .
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(D61,{"E"},0)),IF(D66>=VLOOKUP(D61,{"E",3.1},2,0),"NM","X"),"")
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(D61,{"S"},0)),IF(D66>=VLOOKUP(D61,{"S",30.1},2,0),"NM","X"),"")
In the new formula, I need to add the following:
If D61="E", then I need the cell shaded in red with black font
If D61="S", then I need the cell shaded in bright yellow with black font
On some worksheets and spreadsheets, when I save the formulas disappear, only to be replaced by the previously calculated values. It has become a real pain.
I assume this is something simple.
i wonder if there is a way to compare the formulas in two cells and not their result. I use a worksheet as a model and i want to track unwanted changes in the formulas between any new worksheets created and my original worksheet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a niggling problem with a worksheet when using Hlookup to return a value from a range of cells it is coming up with blanks when there is data in the range.
There is only ever one row cell containing text in the specified range and i need this to be returned in another column.
The problem with the hlookup formula i am using is that it will not work if cells contain formulas and in the range i am working on all cells contain formulas.
I know this formula works if there is text without a formula in the cell range, as soon as it hits a cell with a formula though it won't work.
I have attached the sheet : Book4.xlsx
From j138 there is one cell with text i wish to be returned in column q for each row. E.g., in q1 the first cell text returned would be khawatim. q2 should contain cantor etc etc.

I have created an Excel template for others to use. They can enter data in certain unprotected cells and the data is linked to other places in the workbook. If they Cut and Paste something in the unprotected cells, the formulas get a REF#. There is no problem if they Copy and Paste. How can I prevent the REF# error without resorting to VBA?

I need to apply conditional formatting to cells in a column that contain formulas, or more accurately cells that do not. I have a spreadsheet with default values in a column based on a lookup function. I need to know if the user overwrites the default and cannot use UDF's or VBA. I don't think it's possible so my alternative is to include a hidden column that does the same lookup and do the conditional format off of a comparison.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got two pieces of code.
1. cuts+pastes all formulas and formats to another location.
2. cuts+pastes required formulas but not cell formats to another location.
The s/s is over 330,000 rows deep which makes manual changes impossible.
I attach small s/s containing both codes.
What I want to do is copy+paste formulas+formats from cells having a number in the cell below to cells 4 columns along and two rows down. The s/s illustrates this.
In range D2:D7 there are formulas with dates where message should return saying please check the date which is overdue but the codes does not work
In range D8:D11, these dates are normal without formulas and works with the code

i am trying to write a formula that calculates the difference between two cells, i.e. the buy price and sell price of a stock, to result in the profit/loss of the trade.
However, the problem is, When "going long" i need to calculate b-a = c
C:C=B:B-A:A
but when i go "short" i need the calculation to be a-b = c
C:C=A:A-B:B
i am thinking that if i have a column, say d, indicating either "long" or "short", as a conditional argument, then this can determine which formula to apply to the calculation...
e.g. please try to make sense of this...
if "d=long" then C:C=B:B-A:A, but if "d=short" then C:C=A:A-B:B
is this sort of calculation possible? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i have just finished reading a formula text book, but if the argument im creating isn't exactly shown word for word i am having trouble adapting the formula as needed.
I can't figure out how to make this formula work because I need to use cell AG46 and it contains an IF formula that leaves the cell blank if the sum = 0. I keep getting the #VALUE! error. How do you create a formula using a cell that has an IF formula that could leave the cell blank?
Basically this is what I need in cell I12:
=sum(a12)-(ag46*8)
PeriodWeek #DayDateNotes11Thursday29-DecBB vaca11Friday30-DecBB vaca
Tab1
PeriodWeek #DayDateNotes11Thursday29-DecBB vaca11Friday30-DecBB vaca
Tab 2
I have the column E in excel labeled 'Notes' in tab 1 adding at the bottom of the column using(=COUNTA(E2:E29), so if the cell is empty it doesnt add it up in the totals. In tab two i have that same column linked via formula. In tab 2 its counting the empty cells because even though they appear blank they have a formulas in them how do i get it to not count those cells. here is the formula im using in column E tab 2.
=IF('tab1'!E2="","",'tab2'!E2)
I am looking for the best way to change the font of cells in a Worksheet that contain a formula. I have used Go To-Special-Formulas but have one slight problem with this method. It highlights all cells that contain an "=" sign. Some cells may be linked (ie cell A2 may say =cell A1). How would I change the font only for cells with a Function such as Sum or Vlookup and not for cells that simply link to another cell?

I want to build a little report on another worksheet that goes over the table and counts cells (i.e. data records) based on the entries in the last column (i.e., if the corresponding data-record has an "x" in that column, then it should be counted).
As every data record also carries a numeric value in the "Numbers" column, I wanted to do this with COUNT formula combined with an IF-formula.
The formula to count the corresponding data records that match the criteria then looks something like this:
=COUNT(IF($F$1:$F$6="x";$E$1:$E$6))
However, this always counts all cells in the "Numbers" column. I want the formula only to return the range of "Numbers" cells, that belong to the matched data records.
Is there an easier or cleaner way to do this?
