    - I've created an Excel worksheet using the Vlookup command. I have created an Excel worksheet using the Vlookup command in a beginning cell. this is to determine what month I'm in and determine what the 1st day of the month is on. The next line I want to automatically continue down the page to insert the next following day, and finish off for each day for the month. But I can't figure it out. I hope that I've provided enough information to you. This is my table: number | name of mth | day in mth | week day 1 | January | 31 | Tue . . 12 | December | 31 | ???

    - VLOOKUP the right choice? Sorry for reposting but Still having trouble. Column A is (A2:A130), ascending, and is my Vendor list and is named "VendorList" and resides on a worksheet named "Lists". Column C (worksheet named "Lists") contains the addresses to the Vendors in column A and are aligned by rows. G12, on a worksheet named Purchase Orders, is a drop down list and is tied to "VendorList" on the worksheet named "Lists". When I make a selection in G12 (worksheet named "Purchase Orders"), I want G14 (same worksheet) to display the appropriate address. I am thankful for all your help.

    - Odd result when copying functions Usually, to post in this NG, I copy formulas from the function bar and paste them into a message here. However, IF I (in Excel 2007) Select Show Formulas Enter <alt-ENTER> into the formula so it will split over two lines in the function bar Copy the formula from the CELL (and not from the function bar) the result is as below: "=MID(A1,FIND("","",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1), SUBSTITUTE(A1,"" "",CHAR(1),2))-FIND("","",A1)-2)" If I copy the same formula from the function bar, then: =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1), SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1),2))-FIND(",",A1)-2) I might have thought this was by design, except that without the <alt-ENTER>, copying from the cell does NOT result in the quoting and double-quoting: =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1),2))-FIND(",",A1)-2) Is this a bug? If so, can someone report it to the appropriate people? --ron Tag: Can I pull in the filename used in Vlookup from another cell? Tag: 505967

    - Looking Up the Answer by Row and Column I'm so new to excel that even though I know how to create some functions, I do not know the terminology, so I don't even know what to ask to get my answer. Bear with me. Imagine a table: Down the leftmost column is "Apples" "Pears" "Oranges", and across the topmost row is "Retail Price" "Quantity" "Our Cost". The rest of the table is filled with the appropriate numbers, so when i look at it I can easily see what "our cost" for "pears" is, or what the "quantity" of "oranges" are. But say I want it to be that easy for a spreadsheet user: Somewhere on the same worksheet I have two cells, one cell to enter the name of the fruit, the other cell to enter the property of the fruit (property may not be the right word). But the user enters "pears" in one cell and "our cost" in the other cell. The gears turn and out pops the appropriate response (say "$1.25") in another cell. How do I do that? Another table would be one that most of us remember seeing on maps: the distance between two cities. Along the left is listed a number of cities, and along the top is that same list of cities. To find the distance between "New York" and "Las Vegas" you simply had to finger across one city's row and down the other city's column until your fingers met and that was your answer. So how do I simply do this in excel if the user types in "New York" in one cell and "Las Vegas" in the other? Thanks. Tag: Can I pull in the filename used in Vlookup from another cell? Tag: 505961

    - Duplicate sheet, autonumber sheet, record data on another sheet Hi, I've had so much help in this forum over the last few days, i'm going to push my luck now. I have a master/template sheet, which needs to be copied, the new sheet autonumbered and certain data recorded. This is for quotes I have to give to customers on a daily basis. This is what i want to do: 1. First I want to be able to start on the template sheet everytime a new quote has to be opened. In this sheet is a field for document number. The new sheet has to add 1 to this number (initially) thereafter to the last sheet that was saved, in order to keep a sequence of quotes. How? What would be the simplist practical - to open a new sheet or workbook? If possible, I would want that new document number to become the tab name of the sheet. 2. Certain cells in every sheet need to be recorded in a different (summary) sheet where i can ceate a list with the details of clients we quoted for - say about 12 cells in every sheet need to be listed in columns. Please help Tag: Can I pull in the filename used in Vlookup from another cell? Tag: 505959

    - Question on breaking on cell into three seperate I am currently searching for a method to do a similar formula in excel. I currently process around 120 students every 2 weeks into classroom databases. Currently when we recieve the spreadsheet, the names of students show as: last, first middle initial in cells A1-A120. I was wondering if there was a way to create a formula to break this cell down into three cells one for first, one for last and one for middle inital. Example... Smith, John C. would be in cell A1 How could this be broken down into three seperate cells B1, C1 and D1? I tried basing this off the above suggestions but peoples name have different lengths so I need a way to seperate them by commas and periods. any suggestions would be appreciated.

    - Function/Formula Question Example: I have a drop-down in A1 with 5 options (A, B,C,D,E) I need to be able to have a formula that looks at A1, and if it's value is "A" (from the drop-down) then place a "1" into cell B1. I am trying to perform this without a formula residing in B1 because a calculation is being performed on the value of B1. If the formula is there and the value is displayed, the calculation fails because it sees the formula instead of the value. The formula I use to display the value is: =IF(A1="A","1",IF(A1="B","2",IF(A1="C","3",IF(A1="D","4",IF(A1="E","5"))))) But, I need the end result to be a number that can be a part of another calculation.

    - Lookup in dependent tables. I want to identify a unique part number for a light unit given that there are three variables associated with it. The variables are voltage, color, and steady/flashing. Each voltage has bulbs of different colors; each voltage and color has alternatives of steady or flashing. So I really need to 'nest' my lookups. However, I am not having any luck figuring out how to do it. The IF(AND ...) function looks likely, but I would have to make a very complicated formula. Seems I am making the atsk harder than I need to. In a way, I want to emulate the Online Autoparts application. When you have entered the Make (Ford Truck) the display changes and asks you for Year. Then it changes again and asks you for Body details. Finally it changes again and asks for Engine Size. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

    - Pivot tbl rpt-how to return text in a field vs. a sum/count value New to pivots & discussion groups - please be kind! Trying to use a pivot report for scheduling. On the spreadsheet I have columns for calendar days and another column called projects. Each row on the sheet will have a project name in the "projects" column and the volume for the project is entered & repeated in the columns for each calendar day the project is planned to run. Want to be able to show all of the project names that are planned into each Calendar day but also want to see only the projects names planned for each day. I have all of the Calendar columns in the row area of the report and I was hoping there might be a way to return the text in the C&F field for each of these calendar columns? Expect to have several hundred projects planned over a few months. Tag: Can I pull in the filename used in Vlookup from another cell? Tag: 505815

    - pivot table filtering not working I have a cube that I am accessign from Excel 2007 pivot table. I have a date dimension that I need to filter on in my reports, but excel is not completely seeing this column as date values. It will tell me to apply a date filter, but any filter and combo of values I use blanks out my entire result set. When I use the revers boolean logic, I get the entire result set back, nothing filtered out. When I select indvidual values from the multi select box, that filters everything ok, and when I use the canned "All dates in the period" section, that filters the data as expected as well. But of course I need to be able to filter starting in the middle of a month and end in another month. Any ideas on how to either get Excel to treat the data as a Date value so it will filter correctly, or force a lable filter up so I can use that? thanks in advance!!

    - how to keep a running tally of boxes filled with info Hi, I use a spreadsheet of Excell 2007 to keep track of dates that different individuals work. There are about 150 persons and everytime they work a day, I put the date in the next sequencial box to the right of their name. I need to keep a running total of the total number of boxes filled in. Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks! Tag: Can I pull in the filename used in Vlookup from another cell? Tag: 505803

I'm trying to link from 26 separate but identically formatted files to pull
in similar data. I want to use a single formula, but swap out the filename
based on the value I put into another cell. Anyone ever done that? I keep
trying but can't get past the formula error checker... I was working with 26
different formulas but need this flexibility to adjust to the amount of data
I need to collect from each file.

You can use INDIRECT but it only works if the other file is open.
Otherwise you would need to download and install an add-in like Morefunc

look at indirect.ext
