I am having an issue with a cell that has a formula in it, but it's not calculating. I am using Excel 2013 and the data is as follows:
I have 12 cells(z14:ab17) the user will place a numeric value in. The formulated cell has a formula that uses the numeric cells to calculate a value, but all the cell displays is #VALUE!. The formula is
=IF((ISNUMBER(SUM(Z14:AB17))),PI()/4/32^2*(Z14^2+AA14^2+AB14^2+Z15^2+AA15^2+AB15^2+Z16^2+AA16^2+AB16^2+Z17^2+AA17^2+AB17^2),0).
In the VBA side, I have
Global Const PI = 3.1415927
All the user input cells are formatted for numeric values, and the formulated cell is also formulated to calculate and display a numeric value. Can anyone help with why the cells is not calculating? This did work at one time, but now it doesn't and I have no idea what could have happened. Thanks in advance

I have an issue with the cell range in formula and I don't know how to change it based on a predefined value in the spreadsheet. For example, from figure I have cells B8:B12=0 (5 cells), however, if I want to change range to range B10:B12=0 (3 cells) I should delete them from formula. How can I do the reference to a specific cell in a spreadsheet where I can simply change value 5 to 3 and it will change automatically, without interfering formula each time? I'm new to VBA, any help is appreciated.
As it was mentioned before, you should try offset function and do something like:
AND(SUM(OFFSET(D13,-1,-2,-(G6),1))=0). Then the cells in the range B8:B12 would be possible to change inserting range in cell G6.
Use the =INDIRECT function to define your target cells, e.g.
=TEXT(INDIRECT(A1), "")
If I entered the text B3 into cell A1, then this formula would return the text value in cell B3.
Let me know if it works for you.
This is my first time using this forum, and my VBA skill is not very well developed. I hope someone can help.
I have two columns of data, Column A and Column B.
Column A - Returns a sequential "month-year" or 0. If spreadsheet current date (=now()) is less than say Feb, then the cell for February returns 0.
Column B - I want this column to check each cell in Column A. If Column A cell has a date identifier, I want this to be placed in Column B. If Column A has a 0 identifier, I want Column B to return an "empty" cell.
Reason why I am doing this is I am graphing a bar chart. When I trick the program into making an empty cell (x-axis) the graph does not show any data for that month (which is what I want). Trying to make a dynamic graph, but I have no experience in VBA (only C programming =/).
You don't need VBA (or even formulas) to do this.
Highlight Column A (the entire column), copy it.
Highlight Column B (the entire column, right click, Paste Special, select values and number formats, okay.
Highlight Column B again. Press Ctrl+H, Type 0 (or failing that it might be 00/01/1900) in the 'find what', leave the 'replace with' one blank. Tick Match entire cell contents. Click replace all.
Done.
Instead of trying for an empty space (which would be impossible, as there's a formula in that cell), use an error condition.
Use this formula, and copy down:
=IF(A1=0,NA(),A1)
This will return the error condition #NA! and Excel will leave the column blank
The other way would be to have a dynamic range for the chart data - I have a chart that will adjust to 5,6 or 7 days, depending on the data returned for the week. The Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels is set to a named range (='Sample.xlsx'!LastWeekRange) and the range checks the data, and returns the appropriate number of cells.
LastWeekRange is defined in Name Manager as =OFFSET(Data!$A$3,0,0,IF(Data!$F$9>0,7,IF(Data!$F$8>0,6,5))), which returns A3:A7 if there's nothing in F8, A3:A8 if there is something in F8 but not in F9, and A3:A9 if there is something in F9.
NAME? error is the output for the formula shown bellow. $D$6 is a number. However whenever I click inside the formula and press 'intro' as if the cell had been modified, the formula returns the correct value.
=MROUND($D$6-9.1132,1/16)
If D6 value is less than 9.1132 you have a negative number in the left part. The right part of the formula has positive number, that's why you get the error. Please ensure both parts of your formula have the same sign. Here is the man page for this.
I had the same problem. Inserted the Formula with C# and saved it.
range.Formula = "=SUMME(A1:C3)";
When I opened the workbook it would show me the "#Name?"-Error. Once klicked in the cell manually it showed the correct formula, and when i left the cell it would show the correct calculated value instead of "#Name?"
I found out that it was a localization problem. I use the german Excel, but the formulas via Excel-Com-Interop-Library have to be inserted in english!
range.Formula = "=SUM(A1:C3)";
Once i changed this, everything worked well.
I've a problem with this VBA macro.
Sub demoChangeText()
Application.Range("B2").Value = "Overidden text"
End Sub
My test is here. To run this macro, open it in Excel, press Ctrl+F8 and choose demoChangeText.
As the result, this macro changes the value of cell B2 (the text displayed to us) but clear its formula. I need to change B2's value BUT also need the formula to be remained.
So my question is How to change the display text of cell without changing its formula?
UPDATE
I ask this question because I'm trying to solve this problem
I'm not sure if this will help, as it is a bit hard to tell what your underlying requirement is, but here goes anyway:
Several things affect the display of a cell:
the entered value, if its a constant
the result of a calculation, if its a formula
the format of the cell
the conditional format(s) of the cell, if any
In the example sheet provided you have a formula of =ROW()&COLUMN() which returns a string result of 22
You can make this display something else by applying a cell format,
eg a format of 0;0;0;Ov\e\r\ri\d\d\e\n t\ext will display any string value as Overridden text
This can by applied with VBA with
Range("B2").NumberFormat = "0;0;0;Ov\e\r\ri\d\d\e\n t\ext\s"
or
Range("B2").NumberFormat = "0;0;0;""Overridden texts"""
I am trying to link cells in excel on two different work sheets.
I am using the formula eg: cell1 = cell2 + cell3. The numbers that I have in cell2 and cell3 are in format of 100% (1) and 50% (2). I just want to add numbers 1 and 2 so that my cell1 will have number 3.
Is it possible to do without changing the cell formats?
Thanks a lot.
If you don't care about the percentages, just copy your column with the percentages and change the format of that column to value and in sheet 2, do addition on that column instead.
Unfortunately when a cell has a format of percentage and a user enters a number, it is converted into what it means given the context of the format. It's not like what is being displayed is wildly different than what is 'hidden' inside the cell. When you reformat a cell, that data is reformatted as well, so 50% becomes .5 even if you had originally entered 50 in the cell before changing it's format. Format is more than just 'display format' so maybe that's where the confusion is.
If you want to add the cells in the percentage row and not bother with reformatting the formula cell you can cheat and treat it as a string to get rid of that %. You could do =Left(A2+A3, Len(A2+A3)) that will give you the 1.5 answer without having to format te cell.
Not sure i understood your question but i'll give some elements:
formula and formats are separated in Excel, thus, you can set a formula in A1, say =A2+A3 but displays the value the way you wish
for instance, if A2 contains 100% and A3 contains 50%, then the result in A1 is worth 1.5
you can set the format of A1 the way you wish (Right-clic > Format cells > Number tab), for instance, decimal, the cell will then display 1.5 but if you choose percentage, the cell will then display 150%
Please elaborate your question if needed.
[EDIT] New answer thanks to your comment:
If i understand well, you want to sum up the values between brackets in your cell (whatever is before, event percentages in your case).
Then, you can try this in cell A3:
=MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,FIND(")",A1)-FIND("(",A1)-1 )+MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1 )
