I have a problem using named range in Excel.
If I create a named range using a cell range, I can obtain also a value.
If I select the same cell, one by one using mouse, I haven't anymore an associated value.
I have tried also to use VBA, and the result is the same.
Have you some idea to obtain values using multiple cells (without using single range)?
Result expected:
I'm expect to see cell values of the single cells.
- As you can see, if I choose every single cell (A2,A3,A4), Excel doesn't display me the value of these cells inside the name box.
- If I choose a single range (A2:A4), I can see the value of these cells.
How can I display the value of these cells inside Name instead of {...}

An IF statement would be too long considering I have 20 different long formulas.
Update: I later tried to use an IF statement but failed because it depended on substitute function to replace cell references in the equation but substitute returned a string which coudn't be used as a function by IF.
User should be able to increase available rows by simply copy and insert the previous row.
I can use index match to copy a cell's value which contain the right formula according to the dropdown list but when the user select the same item again I can't update the formula with the new values without affecting the previous cell which used the same formula.I couldn't find a way to copy the same formula several times and replace cell references in it (without human interaction like search and replace) i.e. by using Substitute function which couldn't replace cell references as it looks through the cell's value not it's formula (the cell which contain the main formula).Here is one of the 20 formulas I have
=(Tables!O167*144/(Tables!O158*Tables!O159)/4005)^2*INDEX(Tables!A159:L200;MATCH(INDEX(Tables!A159:A200;MATCH(TRUE;INDEX(Tables!A159:A200>=Tables!O158*Tables!O159/(Tables!O160*Tables!O161);0);));Tables!A159:A200;0)+MATCH(INDEX(Tables!B159:B200;MATCH(INDEX(Tables!A159:A200;MATCH(TRUE;INDEX(Tables!A159:A200>=Tables!O158*Tables!O159/(Tables!O160*Tables!O161);0);));Tables!A159:A200;0)+MATCH(INDEX(Tables!B159:B200;MATCH(TRUE;INDEX(Tables!B159:B200>=Tables!O164/(2*Tables!O158*Tables!O159/(Tables!O158+Tables!O159));0);));Tables!B159:B200;0)-1;);Tables!B159:B200;0)-1;MATCH((INDEX(Tables!C158:L158;MATCH(TRUE;INDEX(Tables!C158:L158>=Tables!O163;0);)));Tables!A158:L158;0))I tried to use FORMULATEXT to convert the formula into a string then use substitute to replace the cell references then use the depreciated Evaluation function but hit the 255 char limit. I searched a lot on google but to no avail, I don't mind a VBA code but a macro free method would be better, Thanks.
TL;DR: Is there a way to copy a formula stored in a cell and replace some of the cell references then enter it in another cell multiple times with different cell references each time ??
Try this in E2 and fill down.
=CHOOSE(MATCH(LOWER(LEFT(A2)), {"r","s","t"}, 0), B2*C2, B2^2, B2*C2/2)
Ive a sheet in which a cell value to be dynamically changed based on the cell value in the same row. So we have to pick that cell value first and then use that value to search in another sheet. Here is the code I have got. The sheet I have to search is Mapper
ActiveSheet.Range("P2").Select
formularwcount = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-11], Mapper!C[-13]:C[2],3,FALSE)"
In this code they are using R1C1 convention which I didnt understand what they mean by putting Mapper!C[-13]:C[2] there as the table array. Im only a 10 days old developer with VBA. Anyone please tell what does that mean.
I found this information by Googling "R1C1":
Cell References
In place of a named cell, an alternative approach is to use a cell (or grid) reference. Most cell references indicate another cell in the same spreadsheet, but a cell reference can also refer to a cell in a different sheet within the same spreadsheet, or (depending on the implementation) to a cell in another spreadsheet entirely, or to a value from a remote application.
A typical cell reference in "A1" style consists of one or two case-insensitive letters to identify the column (if there are up to 256 columns: A–Z and AA–IV) followed by a row number (e.g., in the range 1–65536). Either part can be relative (it changes when the formula it is in is moved or copied), or absolute (indicated with $ in front of the part concerned of the cell reference).
The alternative "R1C1" reference style consists of the letter R, the row number, the letter C, and the column number; relative row or column numbers are indicated by enclosing the number in square brackets. Most current spreadsheets use the A1 style, some providing the R1C1 style as a compatibility option.

I have a UserForm that finds and copies a range of data and pastes it along with new data from the UserForm into a different sheet. I am wanting for it to also count the number of times some of that data is repeated in the new sheet. I have tried several different approches but none are working. Right now this is what I have:
.Range("I1").Value = iVal = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A3:A103"), "CrisisNameTextBox1.Value")
This puts "TRUE" in the corresponding cell instead of the number of times the data is repeated.
You probably could use this function in the corresponding cell:
=COUNTIF( [range], [cell] )
The [range] is the range you want to check (use $ to make sure its value does not change from one cell to another)
The [cell] is the cell you are currently checking.
Assign the function to the cells you want and it should work
If you want to drag/copy this formula from one cell to an other : use the $ character to lock the coordinates you don't want to be changed. I.e :
$A1 Will prevent the column from being changed, but will allow the row
A$1 Will prevent the row from being changed, but will allow the column
$A$1 Will prevent both coordinates from being changed
The same applies to ranges ($A1:$F15, $A1:F1, $A$1:F15, A1:$F15, etc.)
I noticed an interesting problem while trying to debug a VBA routine that sorts the list of worksheets in a range and then redraws the border around that range.
The range containing is defined in Name Manager with the formula as shown below
=Tables!$L$2:$L$22
The problem that is occurring is that while doing the sheet name work, sometimes cells are deleted and sometimes cells are inserted. This CHANGES the cell address values in the named range. So if I deleted two cells and inserted one cell, the formula changes to
=Tables!$L$2:$L$21
And if I happen to insert into the first cell (L2), then the formula changes to
=Tables!$L$3:$L$22
I'm certain that problem can be solved using the header range name and offsetting by one, but I'm not sure how to do that in the formula for a named range as I've tried numerous ways and can't get it right. But I also need the ending range address to be static.
Any help appreciated.
One thing to try is to use:
=Indirect("Tables!$L$2:$L$22")
rather than
=Tables!$L$2:$L$22
It is an acceptable Name, but I am not sure you will get the same functionality.
Found a better way than the comment using the static header range. You simply define the whole range using the offset function from the header.
=OFFSET(AllSheetsHeader,1,0,21,1)
Where the 1,0,21,1 are 1 row offset from header, 0 column offset, 21 is row height, and 1 is just that one column
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.
