So I'm in a rush to put together an excel file for something quick and dirty at work. I've spent several days learning VBA / macros and have learned many individual pieces needed for this, but putting them all together is just not working how I'm looking for.
So I'm taking something similar to the following table of data and trying to reorganize it:
(I can't post the image bc of rep)

Data in columns d-f are all a list of stuff. What I want to do is start with the first date in column D, find the range of where it fits in column a and copy the data there. For an expense report for example - e1:f1 data would get copied over to b1:c1 since it corresponds with that as the date range. In a nutshell, dates in column A are income dates. They are set to pay all items listed on the right scheduled to be paid before the next pay date. See the finished example here:

How might you throw this together to make it work. I'm looking for simplicity as I'm gonna have to heavily modify it to what its actually being applied to.
Sorry for the weird post, this is my first time creating a post myself :)
A handy way to get started with VBA is to record a macro of the actions you need to duplicate, and then analyze the macro's generated VBA code, line by line, revising the code to fit your needs.

I have a large sample of medical data I need to try and analyze patterns in Excel worksheet.
I also put them up in a database in MS ACCESS to do my first filters and stuff.
I have the infos of patients, with tests results(POS or NEG), dates of the sample.
I need to be able to check for each patients when the results change from POS to NEG and from NEG to POS
and compare the dates of those two samples.
So far I was doing it manually which isn't viable for my sample.
I was trying to do something in SQL, but that didn't work out for me.
I also am trying to do some VBA or Excel formulas but I admit I'm getting kind of stumped.
I know I should do some for each cell loop or something but I really am lost.
I already grouped each patients info together using sub-totals and stuff.
Your help or at least pointers would be greatly appreciated :D
Here's an example of my data.
enter image description here
Use a formula like this, that in case the name is the same as the row before and the POS/NEG is different from the row before gives you the number of days in between, blank otherwise:
Of course it will give you an error if you try to use it on the 1st line, just enter it in the 2nd line and copy/paste in all the rest.
This should give you the basis for the rest of your analysis.
I am in the process of creating a costing summary workbook. My main summary sheet lists a job category and then 4 rows of cost breakdown before the next category is listed. On another sheet, I have a template that the user will make a copy of for each month, which breaks down weekly work hours and then allocates hours from each employee/plant to against a job category. Please see attached pictures.
Summary Sheet -
Template Sheet
My goal is to have the number of columns on the template increase/decrease as categories are added to or removed from the summary sheet. I already have a cell that contains a count of coloured rows (category titles), and i figure i should be able to use this to determine the amount of rows that need to be added to or removed from a table. I can't think of any ways for this to be done without macros or VBA code of some kind, which I am open to but I would like to minimise the use of.
Can anyone provide me with some code or a push in the right direction for this kind of function? Category names will be stored in column A, or my count is stored in B84. Columns for each category start from column S in the template sheet.

A continuation of a previous question... where I have run into another formula issue.
We have an Excel spreadsheet where we track our leads. My boss wants to know, specifically "how many leads for each month and how many of each source and the result."
The users on this forum were incredibly helpful, and gtwebb gave me this formula (thank you!):
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!A14:A21,12012)
Which worked beautifully for counting how many leads we had in each month.
Now I need to know how many leads came from the Web, SOI, VP/Sign, etc., WITHIN that month. So I'm hoping there is a formula where I can ask Excel to only look at a certain month, say 12012, and then how many leads we got from the Web or other places. I know I'll need to change our lead source for each formula, but I can't get the basic formula to work. I've tried: =countif(Sheet1!e2:e20,12012, if(Sheet1!m2:m20,Web)), and other variations on this, trying to elaborate on the original formula that worked correctly.
Thank you for your help!
A Pivot Table didn't really ring a bell with me, so I looked into a formula solution.
Pnuts posted a suggestion to try sumifs(). I could only get this to work if there was a column with "1" in it for every line.
A similar function, countifs(), seems to work. Here's a formula for counting the number of lines with a month of "12012" and a source of "Web":
=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!A:A,"=12012",Sheet1!B:B,"=Web")
It assumes that column A is month and column B is source. Good luck!
Your boss wants a Pivot Table made from the data. Unless you have other reasons for using formulas or VBA (not stated in the question), using the pivot table functionality instead will save you a lot of effort in this case.
The goal of my project is to create an out of office program that will allow easy tracking and auditing of our Sharepoint site as it doesnt have a built in system to do. I have no background in VBA, but I have done quite a bit of python. That being said I've ran into my first issue. I'm not sure how the syntax works, and what commands I should be using to get the results I want. I.e. sheets vs worksheet vs worksheets.
I have a workbook, 1 sheet is Raw Data, in which I import data from a sharpoint site. It displays the following columns
Resource Name -- Absence Type -- ID -- Start Time -- End Time -- Created -- Modified by
The next sheet I have is tracking, it's called Tracking. On this page the user imputs Resource Names they want to track into Column A, and then the remainign columns are going to display the number of absences that name has so it will look something like
Resource Name -- Vacation -- Sick -- WFH
Clooney, George -- 2 -- 0 -- 7
A counter will run based on each instance that appears in raw data and adds the number to the counter based on the absence type from raw data.
I need a way to loop through Raw Data and look for the names that appear in the Tracking data. If Possible I'd like to store them in a third worksheet jsut for testing purposes. I know the logic I need to use, but what I dont know is the syntax to refrence the pages together. Any insight on the best way to accomplish this?
Question : I need to Search raw data for every instance Resource Name appears in it from the Tracking page and store into another worksheet.
If you don't want to use PivotTables (can be hard to search later) this is the way to do it with COUNTIFS. This formula goes in the "Sick" column of Tracking in row 2 (assuming row 1 is headers).
=COUNTIFS('Raw Data'!A:A,Tracking!A2,'Raw Data'!B:B,"Sick")
It assumes that in Raw Data Name is in column A and AbsenceType is in Column B, but it doesn't matter how many records there are.
The way I understand your question (and it wasn't easy), you are dealing with a bunch of timesheet info. You seem to be trying to count the number of instances of different kinds of time off that people are taking - whether that be vacation, sick or working from home(WFH).
I've never heard someone's name referred to as a "Resource Name" lol.
You really don't need to use VBA for this problem - at least not anything that you can't just record a macro for - it seems to be a rather simple problem that can you solve using a pivot table.
If you want to you can set up a vlookup reference to this pivot table to create the little form that you seem to be trying to create. But really I think your better off just teaching whoever is going to be using this about pivot tables. Let me know if I misunderstood your question and I'll be happy to delete this post.
Hey. I urgently need some help on building up a complete table using VBA.
I have got data from two seperate sources of data and i need to put them into same table based on one of the category "Car". I've uploaded an example here .http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23058842/abc.xls
Quick and dirty to do this one time you can do this with the VLOOKUP worksheet function. Enter =VLOOKUP(B2,$F$2:$I$6,2,FALSE) into D2 and =VLOOKUP(B2,$F$2:$I$6,3,FALSE) into E2 in your example and then copy/paste the two cells down to see what I mean.
Writing the equivalent VBA will take a few more minutes. If the solution is reusable let me know and I'll spend the requisite few minutes, but be advised the VBA will vary slightly depending on the real sources of each of the tables of data (in their own worksheets? in their own workbooks?)
