Updated The File Name Changes To Reflect The Revision
Mar 17, 2009
I have a spreadsheet that references another spreadsheet, however the other spreadsheet will get updated from time to time. When it's updated the file name changes to reflect the revision:
"C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R00-Inst_Database.xls"
When this file is revised the "...R001..." will increment with each revision but the rest of the file will stay the same.
Sometimes I have to reference a file in another directory:
"C:Projects9-030_Brazil1 Design9-030-R00-Inst_Database.xls"
I was planning on placing information in the following cells of this spreadsheet ("C:Projects9-022_Tunisia1_Design9-022-R001-Cause_&_Effects.xls):
Cell A1 - Project Number (i.e. 09-022, or 09-030)
Cell A2 - Project Name (i.e. Tunisia, or Brazil)
Cell A3 - File Rev Number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.)
I was thinking my "INDIRECT.EXE" would look something like this:
=INDIRECT.EXE("'C:Projects"&A1&"1_Design["&A1&"_"&A2&"-R00"&A3&"-Cause_&_Effects.XLS]Index'!Q5")
The value on the spreadsheet tab "Index" that I'm referencing in cell Q5, is "FG-5901" but all I'm getting in the spreadsheet were this formula resides, is an error "#NAME?"
Part of my problem is that I don't fully understand the function of the "&" symbol in the formula. Sometimes I've seen it placed on both sides of a cell reference (i.e. &A1&), and other time only at the being (i.e. &A1).

I have developed a system for logging phone calls in Excel which will be used by a team of 3-4 people in a small call centre type environment. Each operator will have their own copy of the application which will independently contain the data for their own calls.
However, what I need to do is have some way of regularly updating everyone’s data to a central workbook so that all the operators have access to reasonably up to date information from all the other operators.
I can handle the actual transfer of data from one book to another and perhaps using an OnTime procedure to handle the regularity, but the problem I have is that with regular updating, there will inevitably be read-only issues which are going to make the application crash.
I was thinking maybe have the data update run from the central workbook itself to avoid this, but was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas. Some sort of file sharing or something maybe?

Previous to a PC meltdown a few months ago, when I opened my monthly customer list file the account date would automatically update to the current date. After the PC repair, reinstall of MS Office 2002 (same version as before the PC death) and copying of documents back to their old locations, I now have to update this manually for all accounts each time I open it. I have searched through the options and customize menus but there is no mention of this setting. Before, it just did it from day one (5 years ago) without any setup.
How do I get back the old auto-date update preference?

If I have a spreadsheet with some data loaded in through XML and viewed as a
map, what is the VBA command to reload/reimport the source XML data?
The scenario is that the source data (XML) may change at any time, and I would like to reflect this to the presentation layer (excel) at regular intervals. I have a loop set up but cannot find the command to reset the source XML data.

I have created a spreadsheet and saved it as a template. when the staff open it to enter information they use save as and give it a name. They only need open and enter information once. I have put into this spreadsheet in cell A1 a formula to enter the days date. This all works fine. A few days later I need to access the spreadsheet to check the figures entered and obviously the date changes to the date when I open it up. Is there any way of stopping this happening without using macros. i.e. keep the date as the day they entered the information.

Is this possible and how do I go about it?

For thos of you who use Excel as a drawing tool (painful I know), have you ever created a macro, vba script, anything to draw a revision cloud around certain areas? I know there is an autoshape cloud but thats worthless for this type of application.
I have searched a little and haven't found anything. . . . I figured I would ask here b/c collectively y'all know everything

I have the following macro which picks up a cell's value and then searches and replaces it throughout the whole workbook:
Dim sh As Worksheet, r As Range, c As Range, s, arr, x As Long
arr = Sheets("Exclusives").[b2:b250]
s = Array("Exclusive", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "")
For Each sh In Sheets
If LCase(sh.Name) Like "*family*" Then
sh.Activate
For Each r In [b8].Resize([b65536].End(xlUp).Row, 1)
For x = 1 To 249
If r.Text = arr(x, 1) Then
r.Resize(1, 9) = s
Exit For
End If
Next
Next
End If
Next
I would like this to change so that it only identifies and changes the value on one worksheet - titled 'total'.

Our main spreadsheet in the office is a shared filed which is accessed by 3 pc's.
We have been using this set-up for nearly 3 years and no problems until this last week. Now, over the past week, this message pops up when we try to save the file on the PC's not hosting the file.
"Excel was unable to save the workbook because there was a problem reading or applying part of the revision history. You can unshare the work book or save to a non shared workbook format to fix the problem"
I have shared/unshared/reshared and shared again but a week later, I still keep getting this message popping up. Any ideas?
One thing I have noticed is that we have set it in the advanced tab of the share workbook options not to keep revision history, but sometimes it also shows 'keep history for 30 days'.

DOC NO.
DOC DEScription
status
[Code]....
and as you see I have duplicate documents with different revisions and I want to have the latest last revision only.

What's the easiest way of filtering a list of products to only show the highest revision for each product, preferably without using macros or VBA?
E.g. I only want to show the asterisked rows in the table below:
Product Rev
AAA 1
AAA 2
AAA 3*
BBB 5*
CCC 3
CCC 6*
DDD 1
DDD 4
DDD 7*
Potentially, other (random) data could also exist in the same row.
The example above is sorted alphanumerically but a solution for an unsorted table would be even more useful.

I want to show which rows of data have been changed by incrementing a revision attribute. For example, if a user changes the contents of a cell anywhere between rows 2 and 13 and col 1 and 9 then the revision attribute in col 10 would increment from 1 to 2 (for the affected row). If another change affects the same row then the rev attribute would increment to 3, and so forth. I don't care which cell was changed only that something on that row was touched.
I thought the CHANGE event was a dead ringer for triggering some VBA code to control this but, since part of the change event code writes the revision value, this triggers another CHANGE event causing an endless loop until something (??) kicks in and stops it after 220 iterations. Is there a way to inhibit the change event just prior to updating the cell containing the version attribute?
Rather than post the code here I have submitted the workbook that includes the whole setup and code. I should also mention I looked at all the other worksheet events and I do not see any "triggers" that would fire each time a cell content is changed. As a side note, is there a way to step into the code of a change event? F8 does nothing.

How can I create a formula that will reflect a % value within that range?
(Example)
Input cell = 129 this value can be changed between 0 and 800
A1 = 0
A2 = 800
(Range) 0 to 800 = 100%
What would the percent value equal?

I have a master worksheet with due dates for various forms to be completed. These forms are on separate worksheets within the workbook.
I'd like to highlight the master date entry in red if the form hasn't been completed by the due date, but also highlight in green when it has been done.

I am trying to sum the details from sheet2 in sheet3. I am currently using a plain formula to sum-up the values. However, create a indirect and vlookup function to sum the values.
In sheet3, I have to sum the values from sheet2 based on the contacts. Sheet1, sheet2 and Sheet3 are connected and any update(insert,delete.. etc) will be made in sheet 1 only. Sheet2 automatically updates based on sheet1. Similarly, Sheet3 should also update based on sheet1 and sum the values based on contacts from sheet2.
I have added the formula which I am currently using in the sheet.

My goal is to have changes done to one sheet reflect on to another to make things much more easy to do. Below is a picture of what I am dealing with. ( I covered some personal information)
pic of excel.jpg I want to be able to plug in something or delete it and have it reflect to all other sheets. Also I would like to be able to plug in some information and have it export itself based on a specific information. For example, I would want all Newark,NJ contacts to be place in the Newark list automatically.

I've compiled data into a spreadsheet which indicates the number of homes sold over the course of 3 years (from 1/1/05 to now) along with their price per square foot, sale price, year built, bed/bath count, and other pertinent factors regarding each property.
I've extrapolated graphs from these in the past which indicated the trends in each category over time (i.e.: Average quarterly price per square foot over time, and so forth).
The data range I'm working with now, however, is from an area of my region so small, that the number of units sold over the past few years is sporadic. Whereas it's normally 100 to 1000 units that comprise my data, now it's only 15 units.
This has created gaps in my line graphs where the price per square foot will dramatically drop down to zero over the periods in time where no sale was recorded. So the line graph ends up looking like a zig-zaggy range of peaks reflecting the price per square foot of a sale, and valleys representing "$0.00" for periods of time where nothing has sold.
To have a Price per square foot of $0.00 is incorrect since in reality nothing was sold.
I would like to be able to eliminate the portions of the graph that have the "$0.00" so that the line graph can "jump" from one sale to the next when the quarterly data indicates 0 units sold.
I'd like to do this without having to eliminate those areas in my spreadsheets. Is there any "catch-all" tool that might do this or is that just crazy talk?

I need to change cells to reflect new costs. Then have these costs roll into new totals. I attached a worksheet to demonstrate how it works. The numbers in gray should be adjustable. The numbers in tan are summing up incorrectly with my "SUMIF" formula.

Im trying to capture the first instance of a value(ie 1) and reflect the top row of the value (date). I cant seem to make Hlookup work. I got it to work on the first line using index and match, but when i tried to copy it on the succeeding cells, it gives me the wrong data.
I also tried the following

I have a chart with 8 series of data, 4 of which reflect actuals and 4 of which relates to averages of the 4 actuals of a period of 5 months.
The 4 actuals series are represented by bars on the chart and the 4 averages are represented by lines on the graph.
When viewing the chart it shows 4 bars per period (for each of the actuals) and 4 lines (for each of the averages per period)
How do I get the avergaes points (reflect by lines) to start above the actuals they are averaging? At the moment the points are bang in the middle of the 4 bars in the chart?
Not sure if I have explained my problem preoperly but if not I can email a file showing what I mean if needs be.

I am trying to collect data from a darts team and these values reflect
the number of points won in a team game (ranging from 0 - 3). This will
probably be simple for the experts here, so I'll let fly:
I have a table with six names across the top. In the rows below there
will always be two cells that have number values ranging from 0 - 3
while the rest will be blank. Those two numbers however, will always be
the same. I am trying to write a formula that will determine which
columns have values and return a single letter value (first initial)
for each name. Since all the names are different that is not an issue...

I have several ComboBoxes & ListBoxes on a Userform that populate by referring to Dynamic Named Range in the RowSource property. Also on the Userform is an area to edit/add/delete items in these named ranges. If I Add or Delete an item, the Named Range does not automatically resize--or at least the Menus don't "resize" accordingly--unless I unload the UserForm and load it back up. Is there a way to refresh these Comboboxes without reloading the UserForm?

I am running the formula =VALUE(RIGHT(CELL("filename"),15)) to read the tab name in a workbook with 90 sheets. When a new account is opened, the operator inserts a new sheet from a template (which contains the above formula), and labels the tab to the account number. The formula then 'reads' in the account number and performs look-ups based on it.
The problem is that the sheets are only working when the sheet is active. They all seem to reflect the data in the active sheet or give me a #VALUE error. Where am I going wrong? How do I fix the problem?
