I've read many posts, but haven't quite found exactly the code that works (I'm new to VBA and unsure about proper syntax). What I have and what I need is simple. In one workbook, I have a list of names and email addresses (names in Column "A" and email addresses in Column "B"). In the second workbook, I have names in Column "A" (which come from the first workbook), but am missing some email addresses. I need to perform a VLookup so that the missing email addresses get pulled into the second workbook. The first workbook changes daily and feeds only the new names to the second workbook; I need to bring in the corresponding email addresses associated with the new names. Sounds simple, but I can't get the macro to work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Use the macro recorder enter a Vlookup formula into a cell. Stop the macro recorder. Now you have the syntax for Vlookup in VBA. Loop through your data grid and execute the Vlookup when the target cell is empty.

I have two different sheets in a workbook with data, all of this data is organized by Site ID's. What I want to do is use these site ID's to create a hyperlink in one of the data sheets that when clicked takes the user to the corresponding Site ID in the other sheet. The sheet name where I want to write the hyperlinks to is called "Report_Manual" and I want to write hyperlinks down every row down the first column. The sheet that I am hyperlinking to is called "Data". The premise Ids are located in column C for sheet "Report_Manual" and column K in sheet "Data". Below is an a ttempt of what I was trying to generate in excel for a single cell formula however the issue I ran into for this formula is that the Premise ID's in sheet "data" are variant data type while the Premise ID's in sheet "Report Manual" are integer data type. This makes even a simple formula like the one below not get any matches as the data types being matched aren't the same.
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(Data!K3:K580001,MATCH(C3,Data!K3:K580001,0))),C3)
If anyone has any idea of a macro to solve this issue that would be extremely helpful.
If the IDs in "Data" are text, try changing your match lookup value to text:
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(Data!K3:K580001,MATCH(TEXT(C3,0),Data!K3:K580001,0))),C3)
I have an excel workbook with 5 worksheets in each of this worksheets there is a table with values.
I then delete some of the rows (using VBA) depending on user selection (using dropdown list).
After my VBA code deleted all the unnecessary rows Excel states that I have "inconsistent column formulas" which I'd like to resolve with VBA before the user sees it.
Is there any way to do this with VBA?
I've searched Google the whole day now and still found nothing usefull and the only thing I'd have in my mind would be iterating through all Rows and Columns with formulas in it, checking, if the formula contains an error, which would definitely be super slow...
Note: If this counts as duplicate of Find inconsistent formulas in Excel through VBA I'm sorry, but the only answer there doesn't work with tables as data range
If you are trying to reset a formula in a Table, you can use the DataBodyRange.Formula property to reset the formula for the entire column. This addresses one way to get the Inconsistent Calculated Column Formula.
Example of the error was obtained by setting the formula for the column, changing one cell, and then telling Excel not to change the formula column after that edit.
To revert this back to a column formula (and remove the error), you can run VBA that changes the formula for the DataBodyRange.
Code to change back
Sub ResetTableColumnFormula()
Dim listObj As ListObject
For Each listObj In ActiveSheet.ListObjects
listObj.ListColumns("b").DataBodyRange.Formula = "=[#a]"
Next
End Sub
Note that I am being a bit lazy by iterating through all ListObjects instead of using the name of the table to get a reference. This works since there is only a single Table on the Worksheet.
Formulas after that code runs:
Note that this answer is very similar to the answer here.
I have an original excel file that I have ran a simulation that inputs financial data. I made a copy of this file, and wired the formulas up differently to try and increase calculation performances.
I now have 2 workbooks, the original and the final. I want to compare each sheet from each of the workbooks together to make sure that the financial numbers have remained the same, to make sure the new formulas are not effecting the numbers received.
I have tried to put copies of the two sheets into one workbook, name them April12 and April15. Then insert a third sheet. In cell A1 of the third sheet, I wanted to use the formula
=April12!A1=April15!A1
to get TRUE/FALSE values. But the formulas in these sheets reference many other sheets that are not in this new workbook, so all of my numbers turn up as #REF.
Iv googled many different ways of approaching this but I cant seem to get any of them to work. Does anyone know a simple way I can compare just the values from 2 sheets from 2 different workbooks to find out if the numbers have remained the same or have changed?
Note:I am using excel 2010.
I think you already know how to verify data using formula so is the problem to refer to a row in a different workbook ? if so, following might be helpful :
=[yourFile.xls]SheetName!$Col$Row
this way you can update your formula like(yourFile.xls refers to the complete path including the file name) :
=[file1.xls]April12!A1=[file2.xls]April15!A1
Hello everyone i'm new to this site! i wanted to see if anyone could assist with a concept i believe is possible but don't know how to achieve it.
Essentially i have a formula that has Vlookups and references other sheets, this formula is the same but the sheet referenced changes for each column as each column references a different sheet. this is going to be done 135 times over 8 times.
=IF((IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D3,'[2015_Big_Book_Communication_10_19_15.xlsx]**Credit P-1**'!$C$2:$O$5000,9,FALSE),"Not Scheduled"))=0,1,IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D3,'[2015_Big_Book_Communication_10_19_15.xlsx]**Credit P-1**'!$C$2:$O$5000,9,FALSE),"Not Scheduled"))
I want to use a macro to change the bolded sheet reference based upon a cell.
my idea is to have all the sheet names listed in a column and have the macro edit the equation for each row and then just paste the formulas transposed.
Is this possible?
Use the following formula:
=IF((IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D3,INDIRECT("'[2015_Big_Book_Communication_10_19_15.xlsx]"&H3&"'!$C$2:$O$5000"),9,FALSE),"Not Scheduled"))=0,1,IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D3,INDIRECT("'[2015_Big_Book_Communication_10_19_15.xlsx]"&H3&"'!$C$2:$O$5000"),9,FALSE),"Not Scheduled"))
In a column ("col H" in this example) write the sheet names and use indirect formula to refer to those names.
I'm trying to perform a vlookup across multiple sheets in an elegant way, rather than with a vlookup nested in an IF function.
Column A has the account number and Column I has the manager responsible for that account. Each Manager has their own sheet. I was hoping to make vlookup look at a specific manager's sheet, find the account number in Column A, and return the info in Column K. I tried to use INDIRECT to make it do that:
=VLOOKUP($A2,INDIRECT($I2 & "!$A:$P"),11,FALSE)
With this code, I keep getting #REF instead of what is in Column K in the manager's sheet. How can I fix this?
Thanks!
I can't see your spreadsheet but if your sheets are named after managers I am willing to bet that those sheet names have some kind of character( like space) that forces referencing sheets in single quotes.
Assuming that is correct simply change your formula to:
=VLOOKUP($A2,INDIRECT("'" & $I2 & "'!$A:$P"),11,FALSE)
Also you can diagnose this issue with "Evaluate Formula" located in "Formulas>Formula Auditing", in there step through all steps that this formula has, and note when does that error shows up.
