Run A Macro Without Breaking Cell References
Dec 2, 2008
I have a macro that cleans up data on one sheet, text-to-columns, flip rows of data, etc. Another sheet references the cells AFTER the data has been cleaned up. However, I can't put the cell references in from Sheet1 to Sheet2 before I run the macro because it breaks the references.
Just a simple example, Suppose cell A1 contains the formula: =Sheet2!B5.
If I go to Sheet2 and run the macro to clean up the data, when I got back to Sheet1, cell A1 contains: =Sheet2!#REF!
The idea is that this is a template, and the user can input aggregate data, run the macro to clean it up, and then go to the other sheet. I can easily create the macro to add copy/paste between the two sheets, but I'm looking for a cleaner way to do this.

It is suppose to be that if the employee is "FT" and has worked >=4 years the return is 15. But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!

I am working on this project that involves opening several Excel spreadsheets and copying the data into a new workbook. The problem is that the names of the various worksheets I want to copy change every day - it always reflects the date. I open 7 workbooks, go to the sheet named (for example)01.17.07, copy a static range and then paste it to a new workbook.
Is it possible to record a macro and use a cell reference in the destination workbook (the one I want to copy to) to tell it which worksheet to copy? So, for example, I would type 01.17.07 in cell A1 of the new workbook and the macro would look for the sheet named 01.17.07 when running? Then tomorrow, I could type 01.18.07 and it would know to look for a different sheet?

I was wondering if there was a way to break down a single cell with it's componets.
For example, if cell A1 has a sum formula containing the sum of other cells, is there a was to just copy the single cell (A1) and pasting all of its different values to multiple cells?
Like, A1 has 100 in it but it is sum up by 4 other cells each @ 25 each, so is there a way to copy A1 and pasting it to different cell to show each entry?

In Excel 2007.
I have a macro that is set to clear a range of cells. If I make a change to the worksheet (such as adding a column) that moves those cells in the worksheet, the worksheet formulas update, but the macro cell references do not. How can I make my macro update in accordance with changes in the worksheet?

I'm trying to create a VBA macro that will allow me to copy a formula from one sheet to another whilst keeping all the original references.
E.g.
If the formula on Sheet1 is:
= sum(A1:B6)
then the copied formula on Sheet2 would read
=sum(Sheet1!A1:Sheet1!B6)
You can do this by cuting the cell, but I don't want to do this, I want to leave the original cell unchanged.
I'm sure there is some simple VBA code to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I have a spreadsheet with part numbers containing letters and numbers. How can I break up the part numbers to insert dashes between any letters and numbers? (example: FXF3100LA01 needs to be FXF-3100-LA-01) There are approximately 17,000 part numbers on this sheet.

I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd
Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000]
If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "" Then
With Sheets("Log")

I set up formulas to count text characters in a range of cells. I'm tracking attendance and payments for a small yoga studio.
All I need to do is count "Y"s for prepaid attendance and "DI"s for drop-ins. I have the formulas working but they are absolute so inserting a row will break my sheet.
=COUNTIF(E14:Z14,"*Y*")
=COUNTIF(E11:Z11,"*DI*")

I am using Office 2007 and perhaps that is my issue. When executing the macro, I get double the page references than there actually are. My workbook has approx. 330 pages and when the macro finishes I have over 700. Certain tabs have a different page setup, and I assume that the macor only takes the regular pagination into consideration. I have landscape as well as portrait setup.
I also receive the errors upon completion in the bolded areas:
Sub CreateTableOfContents()
' Copyright 1999 MrExcel.com
' Determine if there is already a Table of Contents
TOCFound = False
For Each s In Worksheets
If s.Name = "Table of Contents" Then
TOCFound = True
Exit For
End If

How to change from absolute references to relative references.
Example :

This code return the absolute references---> =$H$365+$I$365
, and i want change to relative references, like this ---> =H365+I365

In Excel 2007 I am creating a macro with the "relative references" setting turned on. I want to repeat some tasks like: go to column A, sort, hide columns B thru F, hide columns H & I, return to column A.
Every time I try to create this macro by capturing key strokes, it inserts the workbook / worksheet name in the macro! Kinda defeats the ability to use it in any other workbook.
I am recording the macro in the PERSONAL.XLSX workbook. I have other macros that successfully perform in any workbook they are used in . . . but today I can't create one that doesn't incorporate the name of the original sheet it was recorded in.

I have scores for golf teams that I have ranked. When there is a tie, I wish to break that tie based on another number.
For example, 2 teams tie for 1st place with a score of 312 from 4 golfers. I wish to rank those scores based on a 5th player score and determine the winner to be ranked 1st and the next 2nd without disrupting the ranking order of the other teams.

I have a number in one cell which is between 1 and 15 inclusive, and I want to break which ever number is chosen into the sum of 1,2,4 and 8, with each digit displayed in a separate cell. In the remainder cells if any are blank I would like 0 (zero) to be displayed
e.g.
15 ----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 2, Cell 3 = 4, Cell 4 = 8
or
9 -----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 0, Cell 3 = 0, Cell 4 = 8
Using the numbers 1,2,4 and 8 there is only one way to sum each of the numbers 1-15 inclusive. The results of the 4 cells I'm using an if statement to display an "x" next to an option.

I am in the middle of designing a macro that has 5 or 10 times ran away with itself causing me to sit & wait for it to finish. I am hoping there is a graceful way out of this without going to office application recovery.

I'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.

I have 2 inventory reports: what my store has and what my supplier has. I need to copy Tab1:K# to Tab2:T# provided that Tab1:A#'s contents match Tab2:A#'s contents. The A column represents the SKU of the item, but there is a difference in the amount of SKU's in each (my store sells ~6,000 items, supplier has ~10,000 items), so it's not as simple as sort by column A and copy pasting column K to column T.
For instance:
On Tab 1, A2's value is [1], K2's value is [9.38].
On Tab 2, A70's value is [1], K70's value is blank, but I need it to be [9.38], to match Tab 1's respective SKU.
I almost thought I had it figured out with VLOOKUP, but I cant seem to get it right... It doesn't reference the correct number.

Second tab, store's stock: [URL]

Assume I have a cell M24 with a formula like
=M10 + $H24 - $I24*0.35
As you can see B10 is a fix reference (due to omitted $) which should NOT be auto-adjusted but be kept.
Now I want to copy the formular to lots of cells below cell M24. therefore I mark cell M24 and click copy in context menu.
Then I drag/expand the blinking cell border to lets say the 20 cells below. As I result I expect e.g. in cell M25 a formula like
=M10 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
Unfortunately I got
=M11 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
So the fix reference is adjusted as well.
How can I tell Excel 2007 to NOT auto-adjust fix references in formulas?

I'm using Excel 2003 and I'm trying to make my LINEST function and the source cells for a scatter graph use the cell range specified in another cell in the document. I figured out that it was simple to do the following:
I250 contains: 10, shows: 10
I251 contains: ="I"&I250, shows I10
But I can't figure out how to do this in a larger function. I've tried a few things but none of them work. Here is an example where I want it to do a LINEST with y values in cells Ja - Jb and x values in cells Ia - Ib (where a and b are integers specified in cells I250 and J250 respectively):

Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
Code:
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=""ABS()>.005"""
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority[code].....

For three years I've created a workbook (A) that is dependent on another workbook (B) I upkeep. When I open (A), I Edit Links and update the location to my newest weekly file to map from (B). For my 2014 (A) book, I did the same process, but when I update the values, all the links break. Only when I open up (B) with (A) will the values appear.
As a short term solution, I saved (A) with the values in there and disabled the prompt to update values, so others can see the data. This isn't a feasible long term solution since updates will be made weekly, and not everyone will want to open up (B) just to update (A).

I have strings of data pumped out of a database like so "!OV !IPV ABL (850) !VL SM (150) !AD !PW !QT CC (-350)" If an exclamation point is listed, then no value follows however if no exclamation point is present, then each item will be followed by a value. I am trying to break this data out into a table. I am not sure if this is even possible. I am also attaching an example.

I was just wondering if there was an easy way to split several rows of a sheet in to their own worksheet? Right now I have a workbook with one worksheet which looks like: ..........
And so on. Every little block signifies a different product, so in this example R1 and R2 are for one product, R4 is for another product, R6:R8 are for another product etc.
So I was wondering, can I have a function which gives each product its own worksheet and names the worksheet the value in Column 2? The number of rows for each product (and the number of products) is variable but the number of columns stay the same and there'll always be one gap between each product. This isn't an essential can't-live-without thing, right now I'm just cutting and pasting, but it would be nice to have everything automated.

I have a work sheet called 'Cross Ref data' which I want to put a keyword in column A (row 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc)
I then want to be able to run a macro that will grab the contents of A1 in WS called 'Cross Ref data' and check if it appears in column D and E in WS 'Results'
If there is a match then for the entire line within WS 'Results' be copied to a WS that already exists called "Cross Ref Results" (please see the below heading '88888***********8888' for the layout) .........

Sheet1, Column3 is filled with property addresses, if available (some are blank). I need two columns on Sheet2, Column3 needs to be the street number and Column4 needs to be the street name.
Because it is not 'fixed length', I can't use 'RIGHT' or 'LEFT'
I have attached a sample file. There is other data/information on the sheet, but I can process the rest without help. I will be moving:
Sheet1, Column1 to Sheet2, Column2
Sheet1, Column2 to Sheet2, Column1
Sheet1, Column3 to...as described above...

I have an excel table with over 130 sheets in it. The first 20 sheets I have a list of names(the sames names) to collect different types of information of them. From the sheet #21 until sheet#135(more or less) I have the person sheet (each sheets has their respective name) to collect even more information for each names from the list mentioned before from the first sheets. I already created hyperlinks on the first 20 sheets (sames names) that way from there I can go straight to the individual sheet. The problem is that every day I have to correct a few hyperlink because for some reason breaks. I got this error message "Reference not valid", therefore I have to edit the hyperlinlk and connect it again. Even if I save it, next day is another or the same one.
Any alternative way to create hyperlink besides click on Insert - Hyperlink - click on the name of the sheet? Could I do it using macros, visual basic or something and if I can, how to do it.

I have another question. When address come through our DB into Excel, they are in one big block. In other words the city and state and zip are in a lump with the street address. Text to columns does not work because it does not break up the text consistently. What can I do?
