Worksheet Link Search And Fill Formulas
Jul 18, 2008
I want to create a spreadsheet table of values that are linked other spreadsheets, a condesnsed version... I am not a total amateur and I understand the world of excel links....
However the problem lies in the fact that the source files change format every day, what i need is a formula for each cell (i know...) that can:
1. Firstly find column and row heading titles by looking for part of the title i.e. for a title like 'Occupation' i need a non case sensitive search for 'Occu'.
2. Once colum and row are found, return the intesecting value.
The formulas are needed so all I will have to do, after this is finished, is update the source files and the relevant numbers will be found automatically.
Im sure this is something that can be done with a clever array formula, setup to recognise column and row intersections based on positve returns on search variables, however this one is just outside my capabilities....

What i have so far is:
-3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result)
-Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated.
-Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment)
-Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.
I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.
I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).
Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)

I have 2 WorkBook, Division.xls and Department.xls. The Sheet1 in the Department is linked & getting the values from Sheet1 in the Division & works fine. But if there is a change in Division workbook, its not affecting here immediately. When i close the Department.xls and open again, i can find the latest values. I thought the links to the other sheets or workbooks will be updated when i press the save button. So I used the SendKeys "^S" in the VBA. But it fails. Is there any way to mention through VBA code to update the recent values to the Department workbook from Division.

I got a workbook that is linked to many external workbooks and it is very slow to calculate, so I work it with manual calculation and only calculate the sheet (SHIFT+F9) when necessary. To work with this workbook I need to be able to make faster manual calculations. I have tried many solutions and the only one that seems to work, is to work without the links to the other files (by breaking the links and turning the formulas to values). The problem with this solution is that I can't lose the formulas. I think that must be a way to calculate the sheet without calculating the cells that got a reference to the external files. Only the formulas in the current sheet.

What can I do to link my worksheets together? I need the months to link from january to december.
I'm trying to come up with a system to maintain attendance of employees. How do I come up with a rolling system to add and deduct the points as their attendance changes? The goal of each employee is to have the least amount of points as possible, because he/she will be penalized once they receive a certain amount of points.
Let's say that Jane was hired in October. She has accumulated 10 points by December from tardies, call-ins, etc. By the end of January, she has perfect attendance; she is awarded half a point to be taken off toward her 10, giving her 9.5. In February, there is a day she does not show up, so now her total goes up to 12.5 (3 pointed added because of NCNS-no show no call). In March and April, she has perfect attendance, so now her total is 11.5. (half a point allowed for each month with perfect attendance)
By rolling, I mean a formula that will calculate continuously over month after month and have the points roll over month to month.

ColA-ColB
A1 - B1
A2 - B2
Let's say B1 has a formula- =A1
b2 has formula = =A2
I want to copy all the formula in ColB
As it goes down in Column B, it should be =A2 at 2nd row, =A3 at 3rd row, =A4 at 4th row.
Reason being I want this formula to activate when the cell in Column A is filled. If the cell in Col A is empty, The formula in Col B should be blank!
Example:
ColA-ColB
13/01- Jan
13/12- Dec
29/06- June
30/07- July

Here is my dilemma, I have two formulas that reference another sheet, my example shows it more clearly...
...............Column E
Row 11......=sheet1!F16+sheet1!I16
Row 12......=sheet1!G16
Row 12......=sheet1!F17+sheet1!I17
Row 12......=sheet1!G17
etc.
Is there a macro or a formula I can use on the remaining 4000 rows that will keep this pattern while maintaining the formulas above?

I am trying to do can’t really be recorded, at least i don’t think it can. I have a report that I run off and after I loaded it in Excel I then have to add in five columns at the end of the sheet. These are always in the same columns: R,S,T,U,V.
These are the formulas I have to then input
R =IF(G2="no invoices",A2,"")
S=IF(I2="Match",A2,"")
T=IF(I2="Sent to AP",A2,"")
U=IF(I2="Force Settled",A2,"")
V=IF( COUNTIF($R$2:$U$10054,A2),A2,0)
Note for column V, the range R2:U10054 would depend on how many rows is in the report, its just in this example the report does have 10054 rows. The columns would always stay the same. I would then copy the formulae down for the number of rows that is in the report and filter column V by entries that equal zero to give me the rows I am looking to analyse. Is this the type of thing that can be written as a macro so that everytime I have a new report open in Excel I can just run the macro and it will do all of this for me?

I have the following formula:
=AVERAGE('sheet 2'!C7,'sheet 2'!D7:Z7)+AVERAGE('sheet 2'!C9,'sheet 2'!D9:Z9). When I copy it down to the next cell the valules need to increase to 12 & 14 respectively.

What I would like to do is on a sheet when I insert a new row that it will "FILL" the formulas that are the row above it. For example I have cells A1-F1. On cell A1 there is 1, B1 there is 2...etc. When I then insert a new row I would like the row below A1-F1 to read. A2 = 2, B2=3 so it had a linear growth. I want to do this with my formulas so whenever someone adds a new line it knows to copy the formula as well but only in certain cells if possible.

I've got a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets in it.
On the first one we've got:
Name of the agent | petition REf num | Task
Each petition can generate several tasks, one line per task.
John Doe | XXXX-YYYY | NCO
John Doe | | RIL
John Doe | XERT-WWWW | RMT
Jane Doe | QSZE-AQWC | RIL
On the second worksheet:
Complete list of agents | number of petitions | Status
John Doe | 2 | OK
Jane Doe | 1 | [BLANK]
I want to be able to fill in the second worksheet automatically. For each agent in my worksheet 2, I want to check if they appear in worksheet 1 and if so count the number of petitions related.
I don't know where to start

I am trying to find a way to search for specific cell formulas (not the values they produce). For example, how could I search an Excel tab for a cell containing "= sum()" ? I want to ignore all other formulas and values. I then want to replace this formula only with its value.

I am using the ISNUMBER formula to verify if specific text is found in a string of text.
This formula worked when I only needed to find 1 particular brand name:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""BrandB"",RC[6])),""B"",""C"")
Now I need to have 2 different brand names ("BrandB" and "J & B") that need to return a "B" and all others should return a "C".
I found a thread regarding this same topic, but I could not get their solution to work for me.
They recommended using:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BrandB",RC[6])),"B","C")&", "&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("J & B",RC[6])),"B","C")
The fact that my second brand name is written with spaces ("J & B") could be adding to the problem, I don't know. I thought replacing the "C" with another "IF(ISNUMBER" function should work, but I have been unsuccessful at writing a formula that doesn't cause run-time errors.

I have a worksheet that when a row changes based on the value of column B, I want to remove all of the formulas found in the row but keep the existing values, and then change the color of the row.
In the sample file attached, when the value is "Closed", that row will keep the existing values and then it gets grayed out. Rows that are still marked "Open" need to retain the formulas in case other information changes.
I have tried copy/paste special using autofiltering but that doesn't work because of the hidden lines. This file changes on a daily basis and I need a quick way to update the file.

I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".

I am using the following code to find a NAME in my work sheet and to enter their status. But this macro is not compatible if a duplicate or Similar name exist.What I need is I need this macro to activate the search NAME Cell and then a VB box with OK & NEXT button has to appear. if the activated NAME is exactly the one I am searching, then I will click the OK button then it should display the "Enter Employee Status" box and as continue in my code, But If I press NEXT, the macro should search the next similar NAME and activate it, This process should continue until I click the OK button. (Same like CTRL+F function with an additional Status entry button)
Code:
Sub Button1848_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating =False

I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.
