Use Indirect To Get A Value That I Want To Calculate With The Value Of The Current
Dec 17, 2009
I use the following formula: =1-B6/B7. This formula calculates the difference of 2 values. This percentage is returned. Using the formula with INDIRECT do I get data from another worksheet from another workbook. I use this formula: =INDIRECT("'[Workbook.xls]" & Sheet1!E72 & "'!C2"). This formula gives just the value of C2 of the other worksheet of Workbook.xls
I want a formula that calculates between C2 of the external worksheet of Workbook.xls and B2 that is the current value of the current Worksheet that is not external. I want to return the percentage this way like: =1-C2 other workbook/B6. I want to call the other external workbook the same way as I do with the formule above I have given with INDIRECT.
2) Based on Current system date, I want B column to be populated as "Overdue Date, or Due today or, Due tomorrow or Future dated" in front of that date.
Is it possible to have my lease rents be automatically adjusted on the anniversary of their commencement date using the current system date? Maybe, this would work using the excel TODAY function. Excel would need to compare the current date with the commencement date and calculate how many years have since passed. It would need to use a compound interest formula to calculate what the present rate is.
In the document attached, you will find (lease commenced, original rent, escalation rate and present rent. There are also ammendments which follow the present rent which show how rent has increased due to new lease agreements or amendments. The most recent rent to use is present rent, but it would be great if excel could show how the rent increased or changed since the lease start.
The document is the following: Basically, these are multi-year property rentals which on the anniversary of the contract signing increase by 4% or 5% annually (or whatever the escalation is). That means, if I rent it out on March 1st 2007 for 1000$, it will be $1050 from March 1st 2008 and then 5% increase on every anniversary. It works just like compound interest over given years.
What I want to know is it possible to have Excel update my spreadsheet depending on the date automatically. Is there any kind of Macro program? I have over 600 rents, that is why I want the process automated. I would want the rents to increase on the anniversary of the contract signing every year and so basically the Excel would update itself, or it would update once I turn it on and then refresh it.
Next question I have is, say I scroll my mouse over the rent column. I look at building A and look at the rent for this year. Is it possible that once I pop my mouse over it a small chart can pop up and describe the rents for the previous years. Meaning a chart that would quickly pop up and show the 5% decrease every year for the past say 5 years.
Is there a formula to calculate the working days left in the current month? I work in the financial services industry and am putting together a spreadsheet to automatically calculate sales production needs per "working day", based on my businesses schedule.
We are open M-F and Saturday, not including holidays. Now, I can look at a calendar, count the days left and put them in to the spreadsheet, but I'd prefer to have it calculate automatically.
On my spreadsheet, I have used the =TODAY() formula. In the cell below, I would like to have it calculate the actual working days remaining in the current month.
Since today is Sunday August 19th, I know that there are 11 working days left (starting Monday 08-20-2007). Is there a way to get Excel to do that?
Calculate the weeks cover of current inventory based on a sales forecast. the forecast is in weekly buckets so I was thinking using some form of loop statement within the function which basically starts with the inventory figure then subtracts the forecast week by week until the inventory figure is less than the weekly forecast. I should then be able to divide the inventory by forecast and add back the number of loops to give me the weeks stock figure.
I have done this using if statements but it will only allow me to use 10 statements in the function and I need to do this for a full years worth of forecast.
Does anyone have a suggestion as This problem is becoming quite frustrating.
I am trying to develop an Indirect Indirect Validation drop down list. Example, Building - Floor - Room, i.e. Select Building from a Validation drop down list. Then based upon the Building selected, select only the Floors applicable to the Building Selected. I am able to achieve this via an Indirect Validation drop down. However, when I attempt to then select the Rooms applicable to the Floor of the Building I selected, I can not produce an Indirect Validation off a previous Indirect Validation.
In the attachment, I have used Plant - Location - Room. I have name ranged the selections, and have used Validations Lists for Plant, and Indirect Validations for Location. The error occurs where I attempt to do an Indirect Validation for Room.
I have two columns of dates, leave start and end dates (when people start leave i.e. annual leave). Would need to introduce column(s) to calculate how many days fell within the month including the end date and excludes weekends.
For example, if the staff on leave from 31st March to 6 April, i need to show that the number of leave taken as 1 day in March and 4 days in April.
i am trying to create a forumla in a column (D in my expamle below) to count the number of days between two dates. Knowing that col D will change everytime the @now date changes - but thats ok..
COL A COL B COL D ROW 1 Open Date Closed Date Count of days open ROW 2 4/1/07 BLANK CELL Formula result here ROW 3 4/1/07 9/5/07 Formula result here
if col b has a date then subrtract col a from b and display the # result, if col b is blank then subtract col a from location I store the @ now date - say Col ZZ Row 99? so no matter there is a count of number of days in every row in column D
I'm trying to workout how to take a known initial date a repeating frequency and work out the next due date from today.
Example
Initial Date :- 1st of January 2014
Frequency :- every 5 weeks
Current Date :- 9th of March 2014
Next Due date should be :-12th of March 2014 (if I worked it out correctly from my paper calendar)
I want to use a cell formula to do this for different initial dates and varying frequency periods (the frequency will always be whole weeks i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,10)
EXAMPLE: Complete Sheet called "Day1". When day1 is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day2", then when "Day2" is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day3", and so on and so forth to "Day30".
Basically, I'm doing a recorded macro for work where I take an export and manipulate the data to show differences between sales from last year and this year. Also comparing this months projected sales to avg of last 6 months and also against last years this month.
The problem I'm running into is in automating the this month sales for mid-month exports. I can do it individually but I can't find a formula that will do it. Data is in one cell per month, so ex. 130 sales this month so far. I need to have it convert that to projected sales for total month based on what day it currently is.
the 01, 02 ... 020 are the names of the sheets. How can I modify the formula so that I can use other sheet names. Name sheets whose cells I want to be myself in C4 and D4. I tried INDIRECT but I don't know for several sheets.
How could I create a formula that would look up based on month, category, and most importantly an indirect? I have attached a spreadsheet, the indirect is in K13 (and could be Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3, Quarter 4) with matching data in "Sheet 2".
The following formula sorts for specifics in the sheet named 200910 in the specified ranges in columns A and D to return a total found in column AB. This works just fine.
What I am looking to do, instead of telling excel what sheet to go to, is insert this: =INDIRECT(TEXT(Y10,"yyymm")&"!ab1749") to find the matching sheet name to the date that resides in cell Y10.
These both work separately on their own to return the needed value. How do I put them into one formula without telling excel what sheet to go to (1st formula) and specifically what cell to go to (2nd formula) because the cell location may change and I want to completely automate this?
I am having some trouble with a handy formula I learned over this forum and its application between two tabs.
Referencing the attached workbook, the formulas in cell C6 & C7 are working for the end range I want, but the first section doesn't want to work. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the quotes (") or not.
Address(5,$Z$5+60) appears to refer to the cell I want; however, I'm trying to use the Address function inside a Rank function and have tried it with and without the Indirect function (as shown below) and it doesn't work --
Column A has got random numbers, my formula attemts to capture the count of numbers as specified in B1, is there a way I can nest an indired t formula to mention in cell C1 ( > or < ) so it can look for numbers greater than the number in B1 or lesser as indicated
I am trying to use this formula to get to total of each month depending on A2. Cell A2 will have drop down of months names, that is Tabs names. I want B2 to have total of each month rather than cell reference, because Total may not be always in the same cell, we add rows if we add new account number or cost center.
So, Can I use name function instead of cell reference, for example April-total, May-total, June-total etc.
I have several cells with defined names throughout a workbook which I need to be able to sum. The defined names all have the same naming convention (i.e. Assets575Total, Assets349Total, Assets286Total) where the numeric is an account #.
I have tried the follwing formulas below using Indirect, however, none seem to work:
