I am working on excel sheet, but i am having challenge with incrementing; I want to move from a1-a2 to a3 etc. but it's moving from a1 to b1
shows the exact result i am looking for without manually doing it
A solution to solve the issue
You can use the INDIRECT() function:
=FILTER(...,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(INDIRECT("'Participant info'!"&[reference-to-index]),...)
where [reference-to-index] is an index you have running (for example in the cells below your formula) of the cell references just as plain text $A1, $A2, $A3, etc.

In Cell F190 I have the following formula: ='[Account 19617768.xlsx]19617768'!$G$1142 (the cell displays the value in 19617768 $G$1142 - (£1609.50)
I can display this formula in Cell J190 with the formula: =FORMULATEXT(F190)
By manipulating FORMULATEXT(F190) (i.e. Using Left(FORMULATEXT(F190),38)&(Right(FORMULATEXT(F190),4)+2), I end up with Cell J190 displaying formula: ='[Account19617768.xlsx]19617768'!$G$1144.
What I need is for Cell J190 NOT to display the formula, but the actual value in Account19617768.xlsx G1144 (£1859.50), and it's the conversion of the formula into the value I don't seem to be able to find an appropriate function
I don't have a problem if I need to use an additional function in another cell to finish off the conversion?
I know this should be easy, but having just been released from hospital, I seem to be having
trouble working the simplest things out
'$' signs in excel formula keep the preceding data static.
In other words. Remove the $ in G$1065.
Now when you drag the formula down the column the Cell number will increase.
If you keep the $ in front of G the column G will never change no matter where the formula is copied.
I also need to get your help for the same issue. I need to copy the cell values and not the formulas automatically to the other Cell, "automatically" meaning, I don't need to click, use mouse, or any other means to do that, like once theres a value on that specific cell (which is derived from a formula), the value will automatically be copied and pasted in the other cell (without any intervention from my part) (Only the value is copied not the formula)
Note:
The cell should contain only the copied value and not the formula.
Scenario:
A1 Cell : has 250 value
B1 Cell : has a vlookup formula to search for the value of A1 cell (I need to use VLOOKUP as there's a lot of items in the list, and it is "Dynamic", the reason I cannot just use formula "=A1" to get the value directly)
C1 Cell : Needs to copy and paste only the plain value from B1 cell which is 250, not including the vlookup formula, it should be automatically copied without any intervention (Cannot use VBA code / Macro as it will be run in excel online)
Thanks!!
Just use abasic Excel formula.
Example:
The source data is in cell A1.
You want to copy the same value to cell B1.
In cell B1 write:
=A1
That is all.
Additionally, you need to configure correctly the strategy for calculating the formulas:
I managed to find a solution, sharing as might help someone in the future, just needed to use =value(A1), instead of just "=A1", when I did this, the chart can read the values as it is and not the formula behind it. Found another work around as well, by using the formula =A1+0, for some reason this works too. –
=value(A1) works perfectly , If that formula contains a % figure , simple We can multiply by 100 to get the correct value.
Before I start: Please don't use VBA in your answers, the project I am working on does not allow this.
I would like to see if a cell contains a number larger than a specific integer, for example 10.
"A1, A2, A3, A4, A5" will be allowed while
"A7, A8, A9, A10, A11" will not be allowed.
Is there any way I can manage this using Excel functions without VBA?
Thanks for your answers!
In B1 enter:
=IF(A1>10,"allowed","not allowed")
and copy down.
EDIT#1:
If the cells contain text in which a number is embedded, then use this Array Formula:
=IF(--MID(SUMPRODUCT(--MID("01"&A7,SMALL((ROW($1:$300)-1)*ISNUMBER(-MID("01"&A7,ROW($1:$300),1)),ROW($1:$300))+1,1),10^(300-ROW($1:$300))),2,300)>10,"allowed","not allowed")
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
I have a problem where I have a need to execute a complex formula saved as text.
I can only find VBA and EVAL() solutions, which cannot be used in my situation.
For example, I have a cell with:
IF(VLOOKUP($A1;Summary!$E:$K;1;TRUE)=$A1;VLOOKUP($A1;Summary!$E:$K;7;TRUE);0)
and I would like a formula in another cell to have the result obtained when running the example formula.
I get a #REF! error when trying INDIRECT()
Edit: Basically, is there a way to run EVALUATE() formula without defining your own formula through "Name manager" that does just that.
Assuming you want to display the result right to the right of the formula text.
Suppose the formulatext is in cell A2.
Select cell B2
Control+F3, Add
Name: EvalFormula
RefersTo: =EVALUATE(A2)
OK your way out
in B2 enter =EvalFormula
I did try to enter in a cell formula:
=SUM(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()+1):ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()+2))
Intention is summing next 2 cell in the same row.
But the spreadsheet complains with error on it!
Used functions: ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()+1). Work fine but together - not!
In B7 cell:
(I need to write a generic formula that is independent from location and calculates the sum of the next tho cell in the same row.
I am not interested in specific addresses or in a way to copy any specifically written formula across a spreadsheet.
I need a formula that works independently from a location!
Is it possible in Excel at all?)
Thanks.
ADDRESS returns address as a string. You cannot SUM it because SUM(A2:A3) is very different from SUM("A2:A3").
You could look into SUM(INDIRECT("A2:A3")), but you should not, for the mere reason that Excel's formulas are already relative unless made absolute.
If you want to sum two cells to the right of B7, enter =SUM(C7:D7) to B7. The formula will change if you copy it to another cell.
If you meant to enter the formula with a macro, then use the R1C1 notation and enter =SUM(RC[1]:RC[2]).
sorry im dont speak english , but a have what you need
= SUM(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()+1);":"; ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()+2))))
