I am writing a formula to run a matching analysis on some elements of a spreadsheet. The column containing the formula already has values filled in, but I need to run the formula on the blank cells. The formula is working but overwriting the current info I have within the filled cells.
I have tried a VBA code which got too complicated and did not work. With VBA I tried inserting the formula into only the blank spaces but was having some issues. I have also tried a basic excel formula.
=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,BU:BU,"CLOUD")=0,"Not Cloud",IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,BU:BU,"NOT CLOUD")=0,"Cloud","Hybrid"))
VBA Code I tried:
If (IsEmpty(Bucket) Or Bucket = "" Or Bucket = vbNullString) And _
(GetCellValue(.Cells(i, "BU")) = "CLOUD") Then
Range("CC:CC").Formula = "=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,BU:BU,""CLOUD"")=0,"Not Cloud", _
IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,BU:BU,"NOT CLOUD")=0,"Cloud"","Hybrid"))"
A reminder this is a high-level version
I want that formula to only run in the cells that do not have a value already in place. It should not overwrite the data from the VBA script that I previously ran before doing the formula. The disposition column should be completely full of values. The formula needs to run in only the blank cells.
You could achieve this with an additional column.
In the column to the right of Disposition (insert one if necessary) write the following formula (example for row 2, assuming Disposition is Column C):
=IF(C2=""; [Your formula here]; C2)
This will provide you with a column full of values, anytime you put a value into column C it will override the formula.
Edit: You can then copy this formula down the entire column to achieve the desired effect.

I'm attempting to convert the formulas in a sheet into VBA code in a macro, and am stumped by the following:
{=IF(ISNA(MATCH($A8&$B8&$C8&E$7,'Raw Data'!$E:$E&'Raw Data'!$D:$D&'Raw Data'!$C:$C&'Raw Data'!$G:$G,0)),"","Yes")}
It's trying to look at multiple columns in one sheet, compare them to another, and see if the value of the column header is in the fourth column "G" to return "Yes" or blank. I've attached a screenshot of the sheet it fills out:
This array formula will take a long time to compute, since each column has over one million rows. Array formulas should not use whole column references.
The same result can be returned with a non-array formula, which can be used in VBA without any special commands.
=IF(ISNA(MATCH($A8&$B8&$C8&E$7,Index('Raw Data'!$E$1:$E$1000&'Raw Data'!$D$1:$D$1000&'Raw Data'!$C$1:$C$1000&'Raw Data'!$G$1:$G$1000,0),0)),"","Yes")
If you want to use an array formula in VBA, you will need .FormulaArray instead of .Formula or .FormulaR1C1
If you don't want to enter a formula into a worksheet cell, but perform the calculation in VBA, you can use Worksheetfunction (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.worksheetfunction) to use the worksheet functions and their syntax.
I have data in following pattern:
I want a formula to get the data between Content Start and Content End. The amount of content between the start and end is not just limited to 4 and can change.
You don't say what you want to do with this result.
I am assuming you can code the column in which your data is located.
The formula below will return those values as an array. e.g. with your data, the formula will return {1;2;3;4}
The values could be numeric or text.
How you want to handle those values is up to you.
=INDEX($A:$A,N(IF(1,ROW(INDEX($A:$A,MATCH("Content Start",$A:$A,0)+1,1):INDEX($A:$A,MATCH("Content End",$A:$A,0)-1,1)))))
EDIT: Here is an example of using that information to create a sparkline. In this example, the formula above has been wrapped in TRANSPOSE and entered as an array formula in C1:I1. The Sparkline has been entered in B1. As with most charts, Excel is ignoring the #N/A errors.
And here is an example where the sparkline is in A1 and the transposed array is somewhere else, not in view, on the worksheet:
With Worksheets("Your Sheet").Range("A:A")
Set c = .Find("Content Start", LookIn:=xlValues)
Set d = .Find("Content End", LookIn:=xlValues)
ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(c.Row + 1, c.Column), Cells(d.Row - 1, c.Column)).Select
End With
Probably multiple ways doing this, but if you prefer to do it without VBA you could use:
Formula used in B1 (allthough a bit lengthy):
{=INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL((ROW($A$1:$A$10)>MATCH("Content Start",$A$1:$A$10,0))*(ROW($A$1:$A$10)<MATCH("Content End",$A$1:$A$10,0))*ROW($A$1:$A$10),SUM((ROW($A$1:$A$10)>MATCH("Content Start",$A$1:$A$10,0))*(ROW($A$1:$A$10)<MATCH("Content End",$A$1:$A$10,0)))+ROW(A3)))}
Notice it's an array formula entered through CtrlShiftEnter

I am trying to format cells based on values entered in cell. The cells represent multiplication sheet. After entering data B2 cell, if result is multiple of its row and column I.e 2 x 2 = 4 it should be green , otherwise it should be red . In short, I want to make this a multiplication trainer sheet. I tried using an if condition, but couldn't figure out how to put color for true and false.
The conditional formatting works fine when each cell of dest sheet dest sheet to test multiplication skills is referred whith source sheet from which tables can be learned referred with each cell of source sheet . When I tried to specify ranges in condition of formatting it throws an error and it says only map one cell instead of range. Its rather hard to map each and every cell to compare result . Please help me to format to differentiate true and false after entering value into cell.

Select the range you would like to format, enter conditional formatting:
In a spreadsheet I use for cash management tracking, I have the following formula:
=IF(D176="Cash", F175+C176, IF(D176="Transfer", F175+C176, F175))
When I add a row, I use control+D to fill in the formula from the cell above (I'm using Excel for Mac 2011). This results in the correct formula as follows:
=IF(D177="Cash", F176+C177, IF(D177="Transfer", F176+C177, F176))
However, this has the effect of changing the formula in the cell in the row below:
=IF(D178="Cash", F176+C178, IF(D178="Transfer", F176+C178, F176))
Here you can see the rows for column F are not correct: F176 should be F177.
Can anyone offer any advice to ensure that when I insert a row the formula remains intact?
Thanks.
Replace all of the references to F175 in the original formula (the one if row 176) with INDEX(F:F, ROW()-1).
=IF(D176="Cash", INDEX(F:F, ROW()-1)+C176, IF(D176="Transfer", INDEX(F:F, ROW()-1)+C176, INDEX(F:F, ROW()-1)))
'or better as
=INDEX(F:F, ROW()-1)+(OR(D176={"Cash", "Transfer"}*C176)
I'm not sure if this is even possible without going to VB, but I was trying to do it through conditional formatting. Basically I have a column (Column K) that will always be the same value (345) if there is a record entered in that row. Basically when I populate my reports I simply want the value (345) to be entered into Column K if there is any data in that row. I was trying to just use Column A as a reference. I was messing with =IF(ISTEXT(Col.A location),"345","") but that's getting nowhere. So, I'm looking for ideas outside of vba, but if there are no possibilities then vba is the way to go I suppose. :)
Assuming your data is in columns A to J, and that it starts in row 2, enter this in K2 and copy down as necessary:
=IF(COUNTA(A2:J2),345,"")
Edit: For a conditional formatting formula you don't need the "If" part, because the formatting is already ... conditional:
=COUNTA(A2:J2)
Will this work?
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"","345")
This code works to tell whether column A has something in it or not COUNTA(INDIRECT("$A$"&ROW()))>0, but I don't think you can set the value of the cell using conditional formatting. But with conditional formatting you have to know ahead of time how far down your data is going to go unless you just put it in all the rows.
Why don't you just put it in your VBA code when you are copying, you can find out what the last row is then put the IF() formula in. You can use this code:
Dim r1 As Range
Set r1 = Range("K1")
r1.NumberFormat = "General"
r1 = "=IF(COUNTA(INDIRECT(""$A$""&ROW())>0,""345"","""")"
r1.AutoFill Destination:=Range(r1, r1.Offset(200))
