Referring To A Cell For The Row Position On A Formula
Jul 8, 2008
I'm trying to find the details required to refer to contents of a cell and then treat the value as the formula. IE for Sum(B5:B8), i'd like to have two cells, one with a 5 in it and one with the 8.
I know its possible if i put "b5" as the cell content using indirect - but I'll be using the same cell value to update formulas in different columns so I cant afford to include the B. I assume theres a very simple method along the lines of Sum((B&(Cell(a4)):B&(Cell(a5)))?

I'm trying to summarize some data from an external workbook. The problem is that the worksheet names there are months (Jan2009, Feb2009 etc.) and the sheets rotate (change position) with time. In the summarizing workbook I would like to use a function to refer to (for example) cell A1 on the third worksheet, regardless of the current name of that worksheet. So I might have a cell in the summary workbook that looks something like "=CoolFunction(ExternalWB.xls, 3, A1)"

"Smith B" is text in C1.
My current formula in C3 is a simple reference to a cell in another workbook:
=+'Z:Time Records2007[Smith B.xls]Daily Time'!$C1352
I would the formula to refer to C1 to get the "Smith B" part.
This would allow me to copy the formula to the right and reference different text as it looks at D1, E1, F1, etc.
To say it another way. I want to know if there's a way to make a formula that would result in looking at the file Smith B.xls by inserting a refernce to C1 in it?
=+'Z:Time Records2007["C1".xls]Daily Time'!$C1352

I am using Excel 2003
Cell B13 contains the row number of the first row of data on the sheet and B14 contains the row number of the end row of data. This is because the number of rows vary over time.
I'm trying to do a COUNTIF to test for duplicates in column R (contains integers) and I want to specify the range to count by referring to the value in B13 and B14 in the formula and so I have the following which returns FALSE for some reason even if the value in R19 appears more than once in the range ...
=COUNTIF(INDEX(R:R,$B$13):INDEX(R:R,$B$14),R19)>1

How to do this:
I have many sheets called;
Input Jan
Input Feb
Input ....
Meaning 1 for each month.
I have another sheet where I want a formula that can
..............................................JUL
CapEx.................................... EBITDA...............................EBITDA %
"=('Input Jul 2014'!$BI$3)/1000"
The "Jul" which stand for July, it is possible to have a formula where I can have certain text in a formula that is based on the value in B1 (In this case, B1 being JUL in bold writing.)
Like this;
=('Input &B1 2014'!$BI$3)/1000
Or must I manually go in and replace all formulas for each month?

HTML Imagine the following table (Ax, etc is the cell position):
A1=John C1=Name D1=Date E1=Version F1=IP
A2=10/2/2008 C2=A1 D2=A2 .... ....
A3=Client version 7.01 C3=A1+5pos D3=A2+5pos
A4=172.24.3.5 C4=A1+10pos D4=A2+10pos
A6=Michael
A7=10/2/2009
A8=Client version 7.03
A9=172.24.3.80
A11=Susan
A12=2/2/2007
A13=Client version 7.02
A14=172.24.3.200
I have a table of data on the left side and I want to re-organize just like the right side. Let's take C2 as an example, the value for that cell = A1;
Now, C3 in the other hand, the value for that cell = A1 + 5 positions down;
C4 = A1 + 10 positions down;. The same type of formula applies for the remaining columns on the right. This seems like an easy solution, but it's not easy when you don't know it... :

I need to make a cell display the contents of the cell immediately below it, regardless of if there are rows inserted at the referenced row or above or below it on the worksheet. ALSO I need to do this at several additional cell locations down the worksheet. Such as : A1 displays A2, A4 displays A5, A7 displays A8 etc.
Example: I want A1 to display whatever is in the cell immediately below it. In this case A2. I need to be able to insert several rows at row 2 and have whatever new value is now in the A2 position displayed in A1.
After the rows are inserted I need the cell that was in position A4 to continue to display the contents of the cell below it.
I tried using the formula in A1 of: =INDIRECT("A2") and it works good except when I insert the rows my similar formulas below the area where the rows were inserted continue to refer to the specific original cell and not the one positioned now below it.

I have the following formula that I want to copy to a worksheet named Tankersley:
=IF('Tankersley Input'!B5=0,"",'Tankersley Input'!B5)
I would like the formula to read the worksheet name rather than entering the word Tankersley directly, so that if I copy it to another worksheet named Tyson, the formula would read:
=IF('Tyson Input'!B5=0,"",'Tyson Input'!B5)
How would this formula need to read?

Is it at all possible to refer to a array that may change in a formula?
For example I need to use a Vlookup formula, however the table array will change depending on the value of another cell.
I need the user to be able to select the column heading that the lookup should work off from a drop down list. So if the user selects column heading C, the array should start from column C though it will always end at column Z. If the user selects column heading Y the array would be Y:Z.

I think I understand what you were talking about now with the generation of the watchbill using the rand() and sort. You were trying to get me to get rid of the whole system I was using before and use only the rand and sort. I thought you were asking me to incorperate the rand sort thing into the randomization process I already had using offset etc. The whole thing works good now, however, because the column Ive designated for the roster names may or may not always be filled the formula sometimes refers to empty cells in that column thus producing 0s on the watchbill. I was thinking maybe (if its possible) having a formula to identify a 0 and if so skip to the next cell down. The formula would repeat until it found a name without a zero in it.

B1=Name of WorkSheet
B2=Name of 2nd Worksheet
I am trying to write a sum formula using Indirect so that the end-user can enter the names of the sheets in B1 & B2 (the values are always in cell F5 on each sheet). I thought this would work but it is throwing a REF# error.
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&B1&":"&B2&"'!F5"))
with some added spaces for clarity:
=SUM(INDIRECT(" ' " & B1 & " : " & B2 & " ' ! F5"))

This time ive created a visual basic form that asks for a row number and when you put a row number in this form it deletes what is in column A, B and C of that row and shift the rows up so that there are no gaps between the data in the rows.
I need to know what code i would have on the 'delete' button of the form.
If you want me to describe it any further i would be happy to, just ask.

have an assignment to complete and one of the tasks I found impossible to complete. First condition is that it should be completed with a formula (not VBA). So here is the task - I have different cells with IBAN codes in them. The 14th position in the IBAN is used to identify the currency of the account. There are 3 possible numbers - 0, 1 and 2 and each is for different currency. So I have this table where I need to lookup the 14th character in the cell with the IBAN, from there the formula needs not only to check what the number is (0,1 or 2) but also to compare it to another table from where to decide which is the currency. I tried various combinations with FIND/SEARCH but can't find a way to do it.. and I can't find other functions/formulas that can isolate a particular character position in a cell..

I have in the first column something like this:

GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2
GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2 Particular description1
GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2 Particular description2
I want to to have in the second column:
GLOBAL DESCRIPTION1
Particular description1
Particular description2
GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2
Particular description1
Particular description2
So far I have this: +IF(EXACT(A1;UPPERCASE(A1));A1;+RIGHT(A1;LEN(A1)-(FIND(X;A1;1)-1)))
X standing for the position of the first lowercase, which I don't know how to get.

i need to loop through a column of values and get each value
Dim LastRow2 As Long
Windows("SCFOutput.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Q2SCNeg").Select
Columns("A:B").Select
ActiveSheet. Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
LastRow2 = ActiveCell.Row - 1
For Each c In Worksheets("Q2SCNeg").Range("A2:A" & LastRow2).Cells
MsgBox ActiveCell.Value
Next c
i did this but it selects the first blank row (row 15) and gives me an empty message box 14 times (which is right, but i need 14 values) the reason i need the loop is because the number ov values will always change

Right now cell B7 is referencing cell D3. However I want this to be dynamic in the sense that suppose I change the Phase 2 (which starts from ww3 (cell D3)) to ww5 (cell F3) then I would like that B7 should also get updated to F3 instead of D3.
Basically the Development phase of "Support" Project starts only when Phase 2 of "Project 1" starts.
ww = Work Week.
In short cell B7 should always be in sync with the ww of Phase 2 of Project 1.

I have a spreadsheet with two columns and 39900 rows, from that data I want to create two new columns so cell C1 = A143 and D1 = B143, C2=A286, D1=B286, and so on. The row location increases by 143.
The simplest thing I tried to do was to say C1=A1+142, but (knowing it is wrong) I get a #value error.
How can I tell excel to grab these values located every 144 rows below and create two new columns?

I want to automate the process of updating my football stats and have delved into getting my data from the web. I have managed to import a football league onto my "standings" sheet but I want my "strengths" sheet to read it's values from this new "standings" sheet.
The "standings" sheet is broken down into 2 tables (home & away) one above the other.
The values I want are Home Games, Away Games, Home Goals For, Away Goals For, Home Goals Against And Away Goals Against from both the home table and the away table. The main problem I have is that the cell information I need is likely to change as I update the league tables from the web. So say one week Team A's data is in row 7 the following week it could be in row 8 so i need the data to correlate with the team name cell in my "strengths" sheet.
So at the moment Atromitos Home games (cell B8 on my strengths sheet) needs the value from cell C8 on my "standings" sheet but by next week it could need the value from C9.
Ps I am assuming that I can just just hit the refresh button on the ribbon and the data from the web site will update. Is this correct?
