This might be too easy for you but I can not find a solution.
I have a value in column O2 which has a variable number inside. I am trying to use the vlookup to see in which column i have the duplicate of the value inside of O2.
If the the value in O2 would be the same, then it would be easy to use vlookup. But the value inside of O2 varies as following.
O2= Company (variable value)is not defined
So how can i put this in a formula to be able to find matching cell with O2?
If you try to use value from a range in a VBA VLookup formula, try something like this:
With Activesheet
.Range("C1") = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(.Range("O2").value,.Range("A1:B10"),1)
End with
The With Activesheet, couldbe changed to the sheet you need to use. If you are using only one sheet, try this:
Range("C1") = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(range("O2").value,range("A1:B10"),1)
I'm trying to apply a formula through VBA for a particular range. This is the code in my VBA editor:
Sheets("WBR45").Range("AE105").Formula = "=PERCENTILE.INC(TP!$A$3:$A$30:$B$3:$B$30:$C$3:$C$30:$E$3:$E$30,50%)*24"
And the below formula gets updated in the destination cell when this is run:
=PERCENTILE.INC(TP!$A$3:$A$30:$B$3:$B$30:$C$3:$C$30:$E$3:$E$30,50%)*24
But I get an error in the destination cell as #VALUE!.
And when I click on "Show Calculation steps", only this part of the formula is underlined :
TP!$A$3:$A$30:$B$3:$B$30
I have no idea what is wrong with this simple formula. Can someone please take a look
Honestly I have no clue about what you're doing with this, but this may fix it:
"=PERCENTILE.INC(TP!$A$3:$A$30:TP!$B$3:$B$30:TP!$C$3:$C$30:TP!$E$3:$E$30,50%)*24"
You appear to have three errors in your formula:
You are using : to separate ranges instead of ,
You are not specifying which sheet the second, third and fourth ranges refer to, therefore it is defaulting to the sheet on which the formula occurs (i.e. sheet "WBR45")
Multiple ranges will need to be enclosed within brackets (...) in order to be passed as a single range.
If you are trying to have your function operate on the range A3:C30 together with the range E3:E30 (i.e. A3:E30 but ignoring column D), with those ranges being on the "TP" worksheet, I believe that you need to change your formula to
Sheets("WBR45").Range("AE105").Formula = "=PERCENTILE.INC((TP!$A$3:$A$30,TP!$B$3:$B$30,TP!$C$3:$C$30,TP!$E$3:$E$30),50%)*24"
or, slightly simplified
Sheets("WBR45").Range("AE105").Formula = "=PERCENTILE.INC((TP!$A$3:$C$30,TP!$E$3:$E$30),50%)*24"
Hey is it possible to use a variable within a range object?
My goal is to keep the formula that is in the excel cell, but the value of the cell itself is to be deleted.
The procedure for a better understanding:
1. search for a value, where "i" is indicating the row, where the value is found
2. delete this value, BUT: save the formula
3. another value is entered in this cell and the formula is still active and is checking some condition
Searching is no problem, but I cant delete the value of the cell without deleting the formula aswell.
This is what i tried:
rangeA = "D" & i
Set rConstants = Sheet1.range(rangeA).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
rConstants.ClearContents
Any ideas?
You should set the constant equal to rangeA.Formula. You can then use the constant wherever you would like within your module or VBA project.
I created a macro to show the following:
If (I3<>0,I3*G3,H3*G3) and this repeats itself for cell N3, R3, V3, Z3 etc.
Option Explicit
Sub Eg()
Range("J3, N3,R3, V3,Z3,AD3,AH3,AL3,AP3,AT3,Ax3,BB3,XF3,BJ3").Formula = "=IF(RC[-1]<>0,RC[-1]*RC[-3],RC[-2]*RC[-3])"
End Sub
However this doesn't seem to work.
Let me explain a bit more how this should work:
This report needs to be downloaded from an application.
The macro needs to be attached to this report so that when I download the report the macro automatically runs this formula in the appropriate columns.
Also I'll have to populate the spreadsheet for all the rows with this formula.
The columns where the formula should sit are not blank but this needs to be catered for in the report automatically once the macro is run.
What am I missing here?
When you use Range.Formula = formulaAsString, and the range refers to multiple cells, you specify the exact formula string as required by (only) the first cell in the range, while appropriately using relative vs. absolute cell references because the assignment to multiple (succeeding) cells will occur as if you were pasting the first cell in the range into the others, exactly as if you'd done a copy & paste without VBA -- you use absolute addressing A1 vs. A$1 vs. $A$1 vs. $A1 etc... as desired to achieve the right alteration of the formula for the succeeding cells.
For example,
Range ("A1, C1, E1").Formula = "=A2+$A2"
will have the same result as
Range ( "A1" ).Formula = "=A2+$A2"
Range ( "C1" ).Formula = "=C2+$A2"
Range ( "E1" ).Formula = "=E2+$A2"
You are mixing up .Formula with .FormulaR1C1! Your string is R1C1 style, but you assign it to the A1 style formula.
Therefore, simply, change it to:
Range("J3, N3,R3, V3,Z3,AD3,AH3,AL3,AP3,AT3,Ax3,BB3,XF3,BJ3").FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(RC[-1]<>0,RC[-1]*RC[-3],RC[-2]*RC[-3])"
or
Range("J3, N3,R3, V3,Z3,AD3,AH3,AL3,AP3,AT3,Ax3,BB3,XF3,BJ3").Formula = _
"=IF(I3<>0,I3*G3,H3*G3)"
As Erik points out in his answer, also the later will work and adjust the formula for each cell in the same way (which is not necessary in R1C1 as the formula stays the same anyway...)
I have used the following formula to combine text strings into a new cell and am getting FALSE in my result cell.
=CONCATENATE(LEFT(D2,3),A2)
I am trying to create a unique reference number combining the first three characters of a client name to an entry number.
The formula box shows me the correct answer but is displays as FALSE in my result cell and I don't know how to correct it.
try the following formula instead:
=MID(D2,1,3) & A2
