I am trying to write excel formulas using Cells.Formula and Application.WorksheetFunction.MRound
I want to leave the formulas in the cells but it only leaves the values, not the formulas.
How do I leave the formulas in the cells?
The Application.WorksheetFunctions are not meant to be placed into cells, but will perform the calculation of a worksheet function in VBA.
If you want to place a formula into a cell you need to use one of the Formula properties, for example
Range("A1").Formula ' or
Range("A1").FormulaR1C1
See this question for an example of both.
Instead of cell.value = Application.WorksheetFunction.MRound use cell.formula = "=MRound". I.E. put the formula as you'd write it in a cell into the cell as a string.

I'm looking to add this formula (and a few others) to a tool I'm creating.
=IFERROR(INDEX('TO Pick'!A:Z,MATCH(Historic!M6,'TO Pick'!E:E,0),13)+INDEX(Pick!A:Z,MATCH(Historic!M6,Pick!E:E,0),13),""))
The issue is, I need the data that this formula generates, but not the formula itself (keeping the formula in the cell messes the logic I'm working with in the tool)
To avoid this I plan on instead setting the cell.value = application.worksheetfunction. But I'm struggling to get the formatting correctly. Is there any workarounds for this? Or could someone explain how to organize a formula in this way?
The following code first enters the formula in cell B2, and then it converts the formula into a value. Change the destination cell accordingly.
With Range("B2")
.Formula = "=IFERROR(INDEX('TO Pick'!A:Z,MATCH(Historic!M6,'TO Pick'!E:E,0),13)+INDEX(Pick!A:Z,MATCH(Historic!M6,Pick!E:E,0),13),"""")"
.Value = .Value
End With
Look at the column A contain value like the below image . I want a formula to do that .
I don't want to solution like
=CONCATENATE(A1,",",A2,",",A3,",",A4,",",A5)
Excel 2016 has a new function called TextJoin() with the syntax
=TextJoin(delimiter, ignore empty cells, range)
With this, you can use the formula
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A1:A5)
Edit after comment: It's a new formula in Excel 2016. It does not exist in 2010.
But there are many User Defined Functions (UDF) macros that do a better job than Concatenate, and that can be used in Excel 2010. For example in this post by Jon Acampora. You will need to use the VBA code in each of the spreadsheets where you want to use that special function, though, and all these spreadsheets need to be macro-enabled sheets for these special functions to work.
try this
=A1&","&A2&","&A3&","&A4
OR create custom VBA function
Public Function Join(rng As Range, delimiter As String) As String
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In rng
Join = Join & cell.Text & delimiter
Next cell
' remove the last delimiter
Join = Left(Join, Len(Join) - Len(delimiter))
End Function
For a long list a more complex formula but one that 'auto adjusts' on copy down might suit:
=IF(A2="",LEFT(B1&A2&",",LEN(B1&A2&",")-2),B1&A2&",")
Assumes a row is inserted at the top with B1 blank. The output would be in ColumnB of the row with the first blank cell in ColumnA after Row1.
I want to get the adjacent cell values for calculation in VBA.
It is easy to get the left cell of the current cell(e.g.H19) usually like this:
=H18
If I copy this cell to other cells, each of them is changed to an appropriate cell number.
But in VBA code, I am not sure if I am right to get the value of the left cell.
Public Function LeftCell()
LeftCell = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
End Function
I am not sure this is correct, I tested copying this cell to other cells but each result is not changed automatically.
I clicked all kinds of Calcuation buttons on the Menu, changed Calculation as Automatic, but there is no calculation occur.
The only way I can do is to manually select each cell and press enter.
Is there any way to calculate all cell values?
Otherwise, "The Active Cell" means "The Selected Cell by Cursor"?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Adding a formula as #Chris Harper suggests would work, but then you may as well just write the formula in the cell.
Rather than the ActiveCell you want the cell that called the formula.
Public Function LeftCell()
LeftCell = Application.Caller.Offset(, -1).Value
End Function
Edit: If you want the cell to update whenever you change the value add Application.Volatile True as your first line in the function.

Calculate method in Excel VBA do all kind of calculations. You can even define a range to calculate only a range of specific cells like Worksheets("Sheet1").Calculate.
Yes, ActiveCell is always the Selected Cell.
As an alternative to setting value by Offset, you can use ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]"
I am new creating macros and I usually record them but I'm having problems copying and paste as values to remove the formula from 3 highlighted cells
For example I have a formula on cell B3 C3 & H3 so I would like to highlight only those cells manually and then the macro can remove the formula on each like copy and paste as values on the same cells
I have tried with ActiveCell.Select but that only works for 1 cell not for multiple cells and also the problem is that I need to change to values different cells each day
Not sure I follow your question exactly but here is what I think your asking for.
You can loop through each cell that is selected and then set the cell value to it's current value which effectively removes all formulas. There are other ways to do this but I think this best answers your specific question.
Sub removeFormula()
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = cell.Value
Next cell
End Sub
How can I reference a cell from a different cell?
For eg:
I want to reference Cell A1 = B1, But dont want any formulas/logic in Cell A1. The formula/logic can be in any other cell.
How can I do this?
If you want to change a cell value without having a formula in the same cell, you'll likely need to use VBA. For example:
At Wrox Programmer-to-Programmer, Maccas posts the following example:
Sub UpdateVal()
ActiveSheet.Range("A5").Value = ActiveSheet.Range("B5").Value
End Sub
One question that comes to mind however, is why you don't want a formula in cell A1?
Something like =IF(some_condition, B1, "") would leave cell A1 blank unless it met some condition, but populate it with B1's value otherwise.
