I'm currently working on a project that requires loops which I'm not to sure how to go about doing.. I have the information in blocks so for each client I have a bunch of information so for instance I will have A1 say Name: and B1: say Bob,
Then A17 will be again Name: B17: George
This keeps going for approximately 1000 rows. I need to find a way to circulate through all of the material and grab all the names and place them in a column following each other.
I guess I'm looking for a loop that finds name gives me the value to the right, and then it keeps doing that all the way down.
Anyone have any ideas?
Very simple...........say your names are stored in column B in cells B1, B17, B33, B49, ...basically 16 rows apart...Then in cell C1 enter:
=INDIRECT("B" & 16*ROW()-15)
and copy down. This is good for evenly spaced records
EDIT#1:
Since the records are not evenly spaced..........in C2 enter the following array formula:
=INDEX($B$1:$B$1000,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$1000="Name",ROW($A$1:$A$1000)),ROW()-ROW($C$2)+1))
and copy down.
This is an Array Formula . Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
Something like:
Adopted from simocos post
in C1 enter this formula : (with Ctrl+ shift + Enter)
= IFERROR( INDEX($B$1:$B$1000; AGGREGATE(15;6;(ROW($B$1:$B$1000)-ROW($B$1)+1)/($B$1:$B$1000<>"");ROWS(C$1:C1)));"")
then copy the cell down
(the formula is not from me. I use it in one of my workbooks, and adapted it)

I have multiple sheets of data and I want to make it in one sheet (All of them are in the same workbook). Link to the excel file.
I tried to use Hlookup function in excel file, something like below:
=HLOOKUP("University",Sheet1!$A$1:$G$2, 2, FALSE).
But, since I have more than 100 sheets of data, I want to find a way to drag the function and auto generate the function below the 2nd row. I have tried to use indirect function by setting a reference column in front as below but cannot deal with it.
=HLOOKUP("University", 'INDIRECT(A3)'!$A$1:$G$2, 2, FALSE)
My next option is VB code. But, I am new to VB. Anybody can help on it?
Place your individual sheet names in column H of the Summary sheet and the row number in column I (as helper columns) and write this formula in cell A2 of the summary sheet.
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT($H2&"!A1:G"&$I2),$I2,0),)
and drag to column F and down for as many sheet rows combos you have. I used 10 rows but you can obviously make it longer or shorter as neeed.
When you are done you can filter on 0 in column A and remove any lines with no data.
If your sheet names have spaces in them, you'll need to adjust the INDIRECT formula to this:
INDIRECT("'"&$H2&"'!A1:G"&$I2)
best way would be "defined names" + INDIRECT + HLOOKUP (or LOOKUP) like:
defined names
name: SList
formula: =MID(TRANSPOSE(GET.WORKBOOK(1))&T(NOW()),FIND("]",TRANSPOSE(GET.WORKBOOK(1))&T(NOW()))+1,255)
formula in cells: (this in A2 then simply autofill to G2 and thenn everything down) (you'll get a row with 0's between the sheets, which can be filtered out or deleted later (copy/paste values))
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SList,COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,0)+2)&"'!$A:$G"),$H2,0),"")
Set H2 to 2 and for H3: (autofill down from H3)
=MAX(($H2+1)*($A2>0),2)
works perfectly for me LINK
No manual typing of sheetnames or something like that (only Column H:H as helper). Youll get rows's with 0's every time a new sheet is selected which can be filtered out. (or if you copy/paste values also can be deleted)
the +2 at ...st,COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,0)+2)&... simply tells to start with sheet 2 (if summary is the first). You may change it to +1 if you want to lookup starting with the first sheet.
Assuming you already have all 100+ sheet names typed out in column A, this will work whether or not you have spaces in the sheet names:
=HLOOKUP("University", OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,1,1,1,A2)),0,0,2,7),2,FALSE)
I have got a timetable. I want to transpose data in rows to column (rather using formulas) in the way which is shown on this picture.
In first row (AU,KM,GK,MZ) are teachers, in second one are rooms.
In B23 cell is formula: "=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COLUMN(Q2),ROW(Q2)))"
in B24 "=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COLUMN(R2),ROW(R2)))",
in B25 "=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COLUMN(Q3),ROW(Q3)))",
in B26"=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COLUMN(R3),ROW(R3)))"
I want to fill monday column, but excell autofill is not working like i would like - next formulas are for example q5,r5,q7,r7,q9,r9 instead of simple increasing this way -> q1,r1,q2,r2,q3,r3,q4,r4,q5,r5 etc.
How to fix it? Any help will be appriciated.
In B13:
=IFERROR(INDEX($7:$7,MATCH(A13,$5:$5,0)),"")
In B14:
=IFERROR(INDEX($8:$8,MATCH(A13,$5:$5,0)),"")
Then copy and fill both down.
In reference to the picture below, I would like to loop through a certain column (Column D in this case) until I hit a specific cell (Yellow cells in this case). In my final spreadsheet I have multiple yellow cells that I would like to target. Once I hit a yellow cell, I would like to start a simple summation of the values one cell to the left of the yellow (Column C). I would like to keep summing the values until I hit a blank cell, which would indicate the end of the set.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification!
Here's some code that should get the job done. However you are going to have to adapt it to however you want to use it.
Dim Summation as Double
For Each Target in Range("D:D")
If Target.Interior.ColorValue = 6 Then
Summation = Summation + Target.Offset(0, -1).Value
End If
Next Target
I hope this helps. However, don't forget about FreeMan's suggestions about good question asking and using the macro recorder!
I have a table that uses a bit of vba to populate column b with id numbers.
I then have column c as a vlookup that gets a name based off the id, from another sheet. The vlookup in the first cell works fine and returns the correct name, John Doe.
When I drag down, the rest of the cells in column c return the same name as the first, John Doe. The vlookup in the other cells is exactly the same, except the reference cell does change, as expected....so, c2 = vlookup(b2, $range, col, false), c3= vlookup(b3..), c4=vlookup(b4,..), etc.
The catch is, when I look at the vlookup in c3 and click on b3, the cell changes to find the correct name (no longer John Doe). So it works fine. And I have to do that for every cell in column c.
It's like vlookup isn't aware that column b changed? Is that something that happens with vba? Is there a refresh command or some other way for vlookup to register that column b has changed without having to click on each individual vlookup function?
If you've entered a formula in a cell, then copied the formula to another cell and Excel hasn't updated your results, that means that Calculation Mode is Manual.
To fix it (depending on version, this is for Excel 2010)
Click on Formulas in the Ribbon
Click on Calculation Options
Click on Automatic
If you need to have it calculate manually (valuable for making many formula changes in a large worksheet):
Click on Formulas in the Ribbon
Click on Calculate Now to calculate the entire workbook, or
Click on Calculate Sheet to calculate the current worksheet
You can skip all the clicking by pressing F9 to Calculate Now or Shift-F9 to Calculate Sheet.
I am using an excel spreadsheet formula to add two cells together and I want to have it reference one row from left to right like it normally does, but I need it to reference the same row in another page in reverse, and then be able to drag the formula through the entire worksheet. I cannot seem to find anything like this when I look online. TLDR I need to know how to tell excel reference the cell to the left if I drag it to the right.
so I need to add A0 in page one and A9 in page two then when I copy the formula to the left I need it to grab A1 and A8, is there a way to get this?
Your question is not very clear; for example, you talk about a formula but have an Excel-VBA tag. However, I think I understand the effect you seek.
I have filled A1:I1 of the current sheet and A1:I1 of worksheet “Sheet3” with numbers.
I have typed the following formula into another cell within the current worksheet:
=A1+INDEX(Sheet3!$A$1:$I$1,,10-COLUMN(A1))
The target area for the INDEX function is Sheet3!$A$1:$I$1. This is a one row range so I do not need a row number. The column number is 10-COLUMN(A1) which is 9 so this formula is equivalent to:
=A1+Sheet3!I9
If I copy the formula one cell to the right I get:
=B1+INDEX(Sheet3!$A$1:$I$1,,10-COLUMN(B1))
This is the equivalent of:
=B1+Sheet3!H9
You can continue copying the formula to the right until you get:
=I1+INDEX(Sheet3!$A$1:$I$1,,10-COLUMN(I1))
Attempting to copy further gives an error because 10-COLUMN(J1) is zero and there is no column 0.
There are other methods of achieving this effect. The key feature of any such method is the expression N-X where N is a constant and X gets bigger as the formula is copied further to the right.
