I am using Excel 2016 and have text in another language in column A (currently French but could be another in another spreadsheet) and I want to put a formula in e.g. cell B1 which will translate cell A1 and show the result in B1. I then want to drag the formula down (if possible) so then this formula translates each cell in column and puts the result in the corresponding cell in column B e.g. B2 will have the translation in English for A2 and B3 will have the translation for A3 and so on...
Is this possible?
To answer your question:
"Yes"
...it is definitely possible.

I want to fill empty cells with value from upper non-empty cells, ms excel have ctrl+d for doing that. but i want one step further I want to do multi hop ctrl+d.
For Example
A1, A3, A9, A25, A28 have some value and all other cells of column A are empty I want to fill cell A2 with value of A1,cells A4 to A8 with value of A3,cells A10 to A25 with value A9,cells A26 to A27 with value of A25
Other columns also have such empty cells and I want to fill them like I want for column A.
Folowing are images of sample excel:
I can fill the empty cells by grading cell down for each hop.
For given example I can fill cells by dragging down A1, A3, A9, A25, A28 each.
But I want to do that in one go because I have this type of empty cells and filled cells in between empty cell in thousands.
how can I do that?
Assuming the 1st table content is in A1:C15, put :
=IF(A2="",E1,A2) in E2
=IF(B2="",F1,B2) in F1
=IF(C2="",G1,C2) in G1
and drag downwards..
Hope it solves..

Just use simple formula and Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste Special - Skip Empty Cells)
This is I think a simple problem but I can't seem to find the right solution for it. I don't know if VBA is needed for it. Basically I just want to subtract the last two non-empty cell in Excel. Example: I have the cell A1 and cell B1 and then subtract the value of A1 from B1 and place this value at the same row but another column C1 and so on. I have read this to get the last non-empty cell but I need two non-empty cell and perform operation on them.
=LOOKUP(2,1/(A:A<>""),A:A)
Is there an easier way to do this? Or should I use VBA?
EDIT:
the reason is I'm making a somewhat similar to a balance sheet but a simple one, the user will just enter deposited value at the first column and expenses at the second column and then display the balance in the third column.. and vice versa.
EDIT:
Sample
Put this in C4 and copy down:
=SUM($A$3:$A4)-SUM($B$3:$B4)
If you want to copy the formula past the data so it will automatically fill when data is inserted you can do what #Dirk stated:
=IF(A4&B4<>"",SUM(A$3:A4)-SUM(B$3:B4),"")
Put it in C4 and copy down as far as desired.
This way you can fill the column with the formula and as the data is filled it will change from the empty string to the running total.
EDIT:
Regular formula:
=IF(ROW($C1)=1,OFFSET($C1,0,-2)-OFFSET($C1,0,-1),OFFSET($C1,-1,0)+OFFSET($C1,0,-2)-OFFSET($C1,0,-1))
in cell C3 put "=A3-B3" in cell C4 put "=C3+A4-B4" then copy down.
This will start the balance at 3000 in C3 then add any deposits or minus any withdrawals to the rest of column C.
I am trying to call a simple cell (Eg: =a1) in Excel. However this "a1" is available in another cell, let's say in cell 'e1'.
In another way, what I mean is e1 cell has the value "a1" in it and for that reason alone I want to call a1. Finally will in turn populate the value that is actually in a1.
I need to do this is because the cell no. that needs to be populated is retrieved from a formula in e1. That is how the cell a1 comes into the picture.
Using the function: =Indirect([cell]) will give you the value in the [cell]. For example, if cell Z1 has the function =Indirect(E1), and E1 has the value A1, will give you the value of A1 in Z1. Then if E1 changes to, say, A2, then cell Z1 will contain the value from A2.

How to make excel automatically fill a value in a cell of a sheet when another corresponding cell of another sheet is filled the same value?

Closed 8 years ago.
I have cells A1 and A2 in sheet1 with values 3, 4 respectively. I link the cell A1 and A2 to B1 and B2 in sheet2 respectively. I mean when A1 and A2 change, B1 and B2 change accordingly.
This is what I want to manipulate my spearsheet: When I add value 5 in cell A3 in sheet1, value 5 is also added in cell B3 in sheet2.
Without filling =A3 in B3 or using autofill, how can I do so?
Imagining that each time when you make a report you have to add a lot new cells -- A4 to A100 --, that the number of cells is varied each time, and that you have a lot of corresponding sheets to sheet1 -- sheet2 to sheet100 -- you will find why I need your help.
The best solution to your problem is to select the sheets on which you want the values to appear in corresponding cells by holding down the control key and clicking on sheet tab. So when you make an entry on Sheet1 in any cell the same appears in the corresponding cell of another sheet (s) selected.
In an Excel worksheet, cell C1 contains a date. I would like a macro that checks the date in C1 and if the same date is mentioned in row 3, then copy all matching date data beneath it from D6 downwards, paste to Sheet2, cell B3 and also copy column A downwards from row 6 to Sheet2, cell A3.
Use Excel's macro recorder to record your keystrokes and mouse actions (as Excel actions) then inspect the resulting macro. Using Excel's help, check the topic Create a macro or visit http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/create-a-macro-HP005204711.aspx. This will get you started.
are you checking the date in C1 against any column in row 3? or in D3? or C3? It is not clear.
copy A6 down and D6 down, but switch column D to B on sheet2 and A to C on sheet2?
This could be easy if it were clearer what you are checking.
