Relative Referencing - Steps - excel

I am trying to do relative referencing for a specific column (in Sheet "OA") where I need to retrieve the content of cells in a new sheet in steps of 110
e.g,
=OA!$AB217
=OA!$AB327
=OA!$AB437
Rather than manually code the formula in each cell, trying to drag the cells so the address could be dynamically generated.
On the above example, when I drag the cell, I am unable to get
=OA!$AB547
but getting
=OA!$AB220
I also tried to code it this way, "=OA!$AB($107+(n*$110))" where when the n values naturally incremented during the drag, I will get the right formula.
E.g
=OA!$AB($107+(1*$110)) => =OA!$AB217
=OA!$AB($107+(2*$110)) => =OA!$AB327
=OA!$AB($107+(3*$110)) => =OA!$AB437
=OA!$AB($107+(4*$110)) => =OA!$AB547
Unfortunately the format is not accepted by excel.
Could you please give me a hint what mistake I could have made ? My search on the internet have not been fruitful.

You're looking for the "Indirect" function. Assemble a text string with the address of the cell you want, and call =indirect("string"). You can use the "&" operator to combine static strings with variables.
I've created a workbook with Sheet1 and OA
OA!A1:A1000 contain the numbers.
Sheet1!C1 contains 1
Sheet1!C2 contains 100
Sheet1!B1 contains =INDIRECT("OA!$A"&C1)
Sheet1!B2 contains =INDIRECT("OA!$A"&C2)

Index/Match returning wrong value

Summary tab:
Source tab:
I'm having some trouble using index match combo and getting the data to reference correctly.
what I am trying to achieve is in a tab called "Summary" I have a calendar with range D5:O6. the first cell in the calendar should change everyday to reflect the current date which will change the rest of the row making a rolling calendar. I have a data reference sheet called "PFS" from which the data needs to be referenced.
The thing I'm having trouble with is that with the formula
=INDEX(PFS, MATCH(A8,Snames,0),MATCH(D5,Sdates,0))
is returning the top left intersection (B8 of the source tab) of A8 and D5 values smith, bob & 4-Aug. a cell that i have entered the value "Wrong Corner".
Snames A8:A9, Sdates D5:O5 are the rows and columns containing the dates and names from the Summary tab
what I need help with is why its returning the wrong intersection and what I can do different to get the data I'm looking for.
The correct return would be the number one, which I have conditionally formatted to turn the cell blue and blank the text
You don't show what PFS references to. It seems to start in A1.
You can either use a range that starts in the correct cell, or add the required offset to the Match results.
=INDEX(PFS, MATCH(A8,Snames,0)+2,MATCH(D5,Sdates,0)+2)
Also make sure that Sname and Sdates refer to the ranges in the Source tab, not the Summary tab.

how can I access cells in excel sheet using only numbers without alphabets like A1 or B2

I'm writing Matlab script to access data from excel sheet. I don't want to access cell using alphabets (e.g. B1). But I'm unable to access cell using cell(row,column).
Could anyone help me out?
This set of functions will convert any number to its equivalent Excel column:
Cletter = #(c) char(mod(c,26)+(mod(c,26)==0)*26+64);
AZbase = #(c) fliplr(cumprod([c repmat(1/26,1,2)]));
xlCOL = #(c) Cletter(nonzeros(floor((AZbase(c)-circshift(mod(AZbase(c),26)==0,-1)).*(c>[702 26 0]))).');
You can combine them to one function, but I prefer to leave them separated so it won't be too hard to understand how they work.
For example:
>> xlCOL(6504)
ans =
'IPD'
Now you can extend them with another pair of functions to build the range string:
RC2AB = #(row,col) [xlCOL(col) int2str(row)];
makeRange = #(c1,c2) [RC2AB(c1(1),c1(2)) ':' RC2AB(c2(1),c2(2))];
(again, I prefer to leave them separated...)
for example:
>> makeRange([12,321],[46,951])
ans =
'LI12:AJO46'
Note the in makeRange the input is two 2-element vectors, one for the first cell in range and one for the last. In each cell, the first element is the row, and the second is the column.
You can verify this result using the formula ADDRESS(row_num, column_num) in Excel.
This is only for simple use. It does not perform any checks that this is a valid range (i.e. that the second cell is not above/left to the first cell and that the column/row number is not out of range).
I took this question more as a challenge than as a real problem. There is no doubt that writing a small m-file with a function (like in the linked answer) would be more simple. But I had to find a way to complete this in a few anonymous functions.
Still, this answer does not provide any explanation on how they work, as I don't think that someone will be interested in it, but if you do - just leave a comment, and I'll add some explanations.

Including tab name in formula from cell

Similarly to this thread I have found Click here...
I am trying to create various formulae looking across tabs with the tab names kept in cells. My hyperlink function has been successful as:
=HYPERLINK("#'"&B2&"'!A1","Click Here")
Where B2 represents a 2-3 character tab name of a person's initials (e.g. AA in this example).
However if I try this method with other formulae I am returning a #VALUE! error. Can anyone help me with making this nested Index/Match function work dynamically from cell B1 rather than being fixed to the tab name "AA"?
=IF(OR(INDEX(AA!B:AH,MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),11)+1,AA!B:B,0),2)="",INDEX(AA!B:AH,MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),11)+1,AA!B:B,0),10)="",INDEX(AA!B:AH,MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),11)+1,AA!B:B,0),14)="",INDEX(AA!B:AH,MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),11)+1,AA!B:B,0),22)=""),"No","Yes")
Thanks in advance?

The hyperlink function accepts a constructed string to use as the link and interprets it as a range address just as it would a true url. A formula cannot accept a constructed string address as a worksheet range reference but the INDIRECT function converts constructed strings to a usable worksheet range reference.
INDEX(AA!B:AH,MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),11)+1,AA!B:B,0),2)
... becomes,
INDEX(indirect(text(B2, "'#'!\B\:\H")), MATCH(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 11)+1, indirect(text(B2, "'#'!\B\:\B")), 0), 2)
With AA in B2, text(B2, "'#'!\B\:\H") becomes 'AA'!B:H. I find it easier to take care of the wrapping ' marks with a format mask.

Assistance on a Particular Nested IF Excel Formula

Here's a quick summary of what I am trying to do:
I'm trying to set up an Excel workbook that will allow users to paste the results of a SQL query into a RawData worksheet and have multiple other worksheets then grab that data and display it in various formats (graphs, charts, etc.).
This particular formula that I'm trying to write is supposed to look at a certain column in RawData, compare the number listed there to a "key" in the Key worksheet, and then return the text equivalent to the ID displayed in RawData in a new worksheet called StylizedData
For example, if RawData lists 1, then StylizedData will list "Configuration" because 1 is associated with "Configuration" in the Key.
Here is the formula:
=IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$2,Key!$D$2,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$3,Key!$D$3,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$4,Key!$D$4,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$5,Key!$D$5,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$6,Key!$D$6,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$7,Key!$D$7,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$8,Key!$D$8,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$9,Key!$D$9,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$10,Key!$D$10,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$11,Key!$D$11,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$12,Key!$D$12,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$13,Key!$D$13,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$14,Key!$D$14,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$15,Key!$D$15,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$16,Key!$D$16,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$17,Key!$D$17,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$18,Key!$D$18,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$19,Key!$D$19,
IF(RawData!F60=Key!$C$20,Key!$D$20,
IF(RawData!F60="",""))))))))))))))))))))
That whole process is working correctly all the way up until I get to the point where a row in RawData is empty. When the row is empty, it is displaying "No Subcategory", which is the text equivalent of Key!$C$2 and is contained in Key!$D$2. I'm wanting it to display nothing, which I'm trying to accomplish with that last snippet (IF(RawData!F60="","")).
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Try,
=iferror(vlookup(RawData!F60, Key!$C$2:$D$20, 2, false), text(,))
=if(iserror(vlookup(RawData!F60,KeyArray,2,0)),"",vlookup(RawData!F60,KeyArray,2,0)
If the lookup value isn't found the cell gets a "" value. Otherwise it will search for the value contained in F60 in your key array and return the value two cells to the right.
With Vlookup() your array/range must have the values you are searching for in the first column. Your column/array must also include the column of values you want to return. For instance you would probably use something like $C$2:$D$20 for your key array. It also helps if your key values in your key array are sorted.
Good luck!

Sumproduct formula

i have two sheets raw Data and Summary. i need help in editing below formula which i am using in my VBA code. i am looking for sum of one particular id for multiple conditions. in summary unique ids and i already have this formula which is working fine
=SUMPRODUCT(('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$3457=A2)*('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457={"HAUD","AANZ","CSHK","HCNY","CHN1,CHN2","IN1","DBIN","CSJL","CTOK","BTK","K01","MYFM","MYPB","HNZD","BNZD","PKDB","HSBP","SCS","SCTW","SCT","SCT"})*('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$3457="BLF")*('Raw Data'!$G$2:$G$3457))
sum in "G" column sholud also include cells in D column which begins with "TW" or "K"
i tried this but its not working
=SUMPRODUCT(('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$3457=A2)*(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW"))*(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="K"))*('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457={"HAUD","AANZ","CSHK","HCNY","CHN1, CHN2","IN1","DBIN","CSJL","CTOK","BTK","K01","MYFM","MYPB","HNZD","BNZD","PKDB","HSBP","SCS","SCTW","SCT","SCT"})*('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$3457="BLF")*('Raw Data'!$G$2:$G$3457)
your assistance highly appreciated
below one is also tried it shows blank all "," are replaced with * still shows Blank
=SUMPRODUCT('Raw Data'!$G$2:$G$3457,--('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$3457=A2),(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW")+(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,1)="K"),--ISNUMBER(MATCH('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,{"HAUD","AANZ","CSHK","HCNY","CHN1","CHN2","IN1","DBIN","CSJL","CTOK","BTK","K01","MYFM","MYPB","HNZD","BNZD","PKDB","HSBP","SCS","SCTW","SCT","SCT"},0)),--('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$3457="BLF"))
I believe that the first formula should be more like:
=SUMPRODUCT(('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$3457=A2)*('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457={"HAUD","AANZ","CSHK","HCNY","CHN1","CHN2","IN1","DBIN","CSJL","CTOK","BTK","K01","MYFM","MYPB","HNZD","BNZD","PKDB","HSBP","SCS","SCTW","SCT","SCT"})*('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$3457="BLF")*('Raw Data'!$G$2:$G$3457)*((LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW")+(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,1)="K")))
There was no quotes in "CHN1,CHN2" in both the first and the working formula that I added. I also changed
(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW"))*(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="K"))
to
((LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW")+(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,1)="K"))
The last one should work if you change the , in the array to ; (to mean a vertical array):
=SUMPRODUCT('Raw Data'!$G$2:$G$3457,--('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$3457=A2),(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,2)="TW")+(LEFT('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,1)="K"),--ISNUMBER(MATCH('Raw Data'!$D$2:$D$3457,{"HAUD";"AANZ";"CSHK";"HCNY";"CHN1";"CHN2";"IN1";"DBIN";"CSJL";"CTOK";"BTK";"K01";"MYFM";"MYPB";"HNZD";"BNZD";"PKDB";"HSBP";"SCS";"SCTW";"SCT";"SCT"},0)),--('Raw Data'!$F$2:$F$3457="BLF"))
