I have an excel sheet that contains several tables. I am using Matchto find some entries in each table, but the thing is that the rownumber returned is with respect to the table, but not the whole worksheet. How can I get it with respect to the sheet?
Currently, I am just adding manually the number of rows above =MATCH(value;array;0)+23 (w.r.t to the image above. , but when there are some records entered in the tables above the used one, then everything crashes.
Thanks for the suggestion.
ROW(TABLENAME) will give you the first row of the data so:
=ROW(Table1)-1
or
=ROW(Table1[#Headers])
Will give the first row of the actual table, where Table1 is the name of the structured table:

I need to find a way of determining the row number from the data source table of the selected cell in my pivot table.
The reasoning behind this is that I want to be able to edit/update the values from a UserForm.
My table with the data source is in sheet 1 named Data and my pivot table is in sheet 2, named Project management.
I know I can edit values in a Pivot Table by setting
EnableDataValueEditing = False
..but this does not give me the desired result since my original data remains unchanged and I also have hidden columns that I use for conditional formatting only and it would be a bad user experience to have to unhide the columns every time I need to edit them.
Does anyone have any idea or suggestion as to how I can retrieve the original data row number for a specific cell in my pivot table ?
As an example, the top is my original table and the bottom right is my pivot table. When the cell "Dummy Data" is pressed, I want it to give me the Row number of that data from my original table.
A "bad" workaround would be to use VBA to match the selected cell
value with the data from the table and when the match is found,
retrieve the address but this is not foolproof, the data should be
unique but with more data flowing in over time, this might not be the
case anymore. Therefore I am trying to avoid this method.
PS: if someone could edit my post and embed the image, I would highly
appreciate it.
A pivot table is a report summarizing information from the linked table or query. The only ways you're going to be able to update the information is if you know the row ID/number you want to change or filter the data source down to a point where you can identify it.
If you're going to be keeping and altering records, I'd suggest building a database (Access, for something quick and easy) to enforce some form of integrity and then link your pivot table and form to that database.
EDIT: VLookup or Index(Match(...)) is only going to return the first hit and that may not necessarily be what you want.
I will put my non-orthodox but perfectly functional way of doing it just in case someone is facing a similar issue or until a better way arises.
I have actually added a new column in my data table with the formula
=ROW([#Column1])
This gives me the row number for every entry.
Next I am just adding that column as a row in my pivot table, display in tabular mode to have it's own column and hide it. Therefore when selecting a cell, I am looking in the hidden column for the number and therefore I am getting the source data row number.
I am having two tables, one table (table 1) below is main data, separated into many columns and blocks per 10 rows in one, as you can see A2:A11, A12:A21 and so on (many rows and columns) ... In Column A are unique numbers, but one number per block as a unique, and all other information in other columns can differ, sometimes will be more data sometimes not. The data is always same structured.
What I am looking is to have report / printable sheet where I will have all my columns on one sheet, but in a Column A2 for instance drop down list that will use all unique numbers from main data table and populate all matches on report page, same as it is on picture below. There are many columns that should work automatically when I choose something from "Number" drop down. The trick here is, there must be 10 rows per block also, I have organized it as it should be, but I can't figure out how to populate using functions. So, you can imagine clicking one drop down and getting those lists updated without scrolling endlessly through columns and rows on main data table...
Where I have a problem is that I am getting matches only for first rows but not whole rows (or all rows where matches are) ...
using this function:
=INDEX(Table1[Datum];SMALL(IF(Table1[Nummer]=Printable!$A$2;ROW(Table1[Nummer])-ROW(INDEX(Table1[Nummer];1;1))+1);1))
If someone can help me out, I would be happy!
Try below formula. After putting formula to cell drag down and across as needed. I have tested this formula in Excel2013 and with range (not as table). So, you have to adjust formula for table. I suggest you to first test the formula in single sheet like my screenshot and if it is successful then go for table in Report sheet.
=INDEX(INDEX(B:B,MATCH($G$2,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,MATCH($G$2,$A:$A,0)+9),ROW(1:1))
The point of this exercise is to try to make this analysis quicker/easier to update. I had it pretty dialed in using a data tab and a pivot table, copying and pasting values/formulas as needed to update. I am trying to improve on that by using Excel's new Dynamic Arrays.
My table is setup with four employee detail columns (Location Name, Location Number, Employee Name, Employee Number), and several (many) columns for dates worked. My issue is the dates worked.
I am using UNIQUE and FILTER to get a list of flagged employees - works as I intended/hoped; lookup formulas to find the location name and number data for each employee from the data table - works as I intended/hoped; and I have been copying/pasting the dates from the pivot table column headers into my "counting"/analysis table header.
What I would like to do is use the UNIQUE formula to get the dates worked - BUT, I want the spill area to go along the row so the dates are column headers. Okay, I probably could have made that a shorter ask, but I hope explaining a little of what I'm trying to do helps. I want the dates to automatically update when I paste new payroll/hours worked data into the data table, the same way the employee data updates.
The key is to TRANSPOSE the UNIQUE formula, not the data:
=TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(A1:A9))
I cannot find anything about having the spill area go along a row instead of down a column. My workaround for this was to create a column of unique dates next to my data table. Since the data is in a table, the unique dates will update automatically when the table is updated. I used the Offset formula to pull the dates into my column headers from the column of Unique dates next to my data table. I will say, while this setup is easier than updating via the pivot table, it is a formula heavy workbook now.
For the data headers I used : "=OFFSET('Data Table Tab'!$U1,Column()-5,0)". The "rows to offset" portion of the formula is "Column()-5". My first date header is in column 5, so as it is copied to the right this will increment the number of rows to offset from the first date.
At this point I will just need to copy the formulas over to the right to update my analysis table.
I would be surprised if someone else out there just starting to work with the new Dynamic Array formulas in Excel doesn't wonder about the same thing. If you stumble across this question and have a better solution, please feel free to share it with me.
I have an Excel spreadsheet which contains four data tables on the same tab. The final 3 columns in each contain formulae.
I then have a vba code which performs an sql look up within an SQL Server table and returns a set number of columns to update each of the four tables.
For three of these tables, the data is pasted in and the table automatically expands and the formulae is copied to the end of the table.
However, for the first table, the data is pasted in but the table does not expand and hence, the formulae does not get added to the rows outside of the table.
I have searched high and low for a fix but no joy. I have searched the data extraction VBA code with no luck (the code is an exact match) and no joy in the table properties. I have also checked the Options menu for Auto Format As You Type settings but all seems fine.
Does anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks,
David.
Hi All again,
Would love to know if anyone has an answer for this but, in the mean time I have fudged the code to automatically adjust the size of the table based on the row number for the last cell of data.
Thanks,
David.
I ran into the same issue and it was driving me nuts. Found out that in a few columns I had dragged formulas down pretty far (they were IF statements to return nothing if the first column was empty) so I didn't see them.
So remove any formulas that are 'under' the last row of the table. Should clear up the issue.
The most common cause is due to differing number of, or mis-aligned columns (vertically stacked tables) or differing number of, or mis-aligned rows (horizontally stacked tables).
For simplicity, let us use vertically stacked tables to illustrate what is happening. Consider an upper table with 2 columns and a lower table with 3. If we try to insert a row to the upper table, XL attempts to push all cells beneath the table down, but ONLY the cells directly beneath the table. So in this case cells below the 2 columns will be pushed down. XL quickly realizes that if it pushes just 2 columns down, the third column in the lower table won't be pushed down resulting in skewing the lower table. XL makes no attempt to figure out how to move the lower tables. It just refuses to even try.
The same holds true for adding columns to tables on the left for which there are tables directly to the right. If adding columns to a table would result in skewing rows of a table to the right, XL refuses to help.
To keep this from being a problem we can do a few things:
Keep the largest tables on top and to the left and align all table first columns and first rows.
If only rows are added to tables, don't stack them vertically
And if only columns are added to tables, don't stack them horizontally.
Herewith is an example of enforcing expansion of a table after data was copied over to the bottom of the table. This is done by resizing the table. Originally the table wasn't auto-resized as it has additional calculation columns.
The first line of the code finds the last row of data and the second line states the range to which the table needs to be resized. The third line resizes the table to the new range.
Replace sXXX and tXXX with your sheet name and table name.
Sub ResizeTableXXX()
myLastrowOfData = sXXX.Range("A1000000").End(xlUp).Row
myNewRangeSize = "$A$5:$P$" & myLastrowOfData
sXXX.ListObjects("tXXX").Resize Range(myNewRangeSize)
End Sub

Please see the following picture. I don't know how to create two rows inside a single data cell in Cognos.
You can insert a table with 2 rows and a single column for the Version query item cell. Then you can populate the 2 rows with appropriate fields from Data Source.
Please find below screen shot where I inserted a table and populated fields in the 2 rows.
This report has been tested and runs fine.
