Oh, I forgot to add, Alphabetize is a looping variable used to index through all 100 entries in the array. I inhereted this from another person who, rather than looping the lines of code that pull the data, there are 100 sections, each pulling one set up of the data. And so... whenever we need to make a modification, we demand to alter over 1500 lines of code to get the new dataset. I'd rather tweak the xv or and then lines in the loop.

I want to reference an entire workbook from an external excel file on my onedrive so that I can accept one copy that is editable by several people then some other re-create that is populated past the first, that a much larger grouping can view, but not edit. Is there a way to do this with out manually referencing every prison cell? When I try to drag the formula to other cells information technology does non modify the cell references, and then every cell has the aforementioned data from the A1 cell in the referenced workbook. How can I go this to copy to the rest of the cells only change the cell reference accordingly?

Hi,
I take an issue I can't discover the fix for:My sheet1 is a summary sheet and sheet2 and beyond take data and are all formatted exactly the aforementioned. I want to use =AVERAGE on sheet1 for a range in sheet2 simply am writing a dynamic formula and then I can alter the range I want on the sheet1 and Excel will know to detect/expect up the range I want on sheet2. The following formula I tin get to work, but just takes an average of 2 non-adjacent cells (not a range):
=AVERAGE((VLOOKUP($B$1,(INDIRECT($A7&"!"&"$A$iv:$BB$sixty")),(INDIRECT($A7&"!"&"$Advertisement$2")),Faux)),VLOOKUP($B$2,(INDIRECT($A7&"!"&"$A$4:$BB$lx")),(INDIRECT($A7&"!"&"$Advert$two")),FALSE))
where A7 is "sheet2", $B$1 is "2010" and $B$2 is "2020". This formula averages 2010 and 2020 but, not 2010 THRU 2020 similar I'm trying to achieve...
If I put a semicolon in where the comma is separating the 2 formulas, I get an mistake message. Basically I desire to know how to write this: =Average(VlookupFormula1:VlookupFormula2)
Any suggestions?
Thanks!-

I remember I figured out a formula that works using the ADDRESS/Lucifer/INDIRECT functions.
Original on sheet1:
AVERAGE(sheet2!AD6:AD16)
New dynamic formula that worked and got the same result:
Average(INDIRECT($A7&"!"&ADDRESS(MATCH($B$1,INDIRECT($A$7&"!"&"$A$i:$A$200"),0),30)&":"&Address(Friction match($B$2,INDIRECT($A$7&"!"&"$A$1:$A$200"),0),30)
where $A7 = "sheet2"
where $B$one = 2010
where $B$2 = 2020

How-do-you-do Alexander/Ablebits Team,
I've searched everywhere for a clear reply to this but I can't observe any and information technology seems like such a simple problem:
Allow'due south say I have half dozen sheets. The first is a summary page, the other five are named "Monday", "Tuesday" etc thru "Fri". I've prepare up these five day-of-the-week sheets with the same verbal tables, only with different values in the cells from mean solar day to day.
In A2 on the summary page I want to write a long, complicated formula where Monday occurs several times in calculating Monday's results. (i.due east. =((Monday!A1*2)+(Mon!A2*3)/LN(ii))-(Mon!A4/Mon!A7) etc etc...)
To see Tuesday's results, I want Excel to change the data in that summary sheet'due south formula automatically so I don't take to delete Monday and type Tuesday 10 times. I'd rather type the discussion Tuesday into A1 and accept the complicated formula reference A1 and know to change the text of Monday into Tuesday in all the instances in the formula. Does that make sense?
It seems excel should accept this function since it would salvage a lot of typing, particularly if I have 100 different sheets..
Thanks!

Dirk says:
Hi,
I'chiliad using the latest Excel version via Office365, so I tin can employ data ranges converted to tables.
My outset workbook contains several sheets, each with a specific tabular array. Information is referenced via the x.lookup function to tabular array fields instead of row/col ranges. Works great !
This workbook is used as a data container and is read-merely (tin can only exist edited past myself).A second workbook is pulling data from the outset one , besides by using the x.lookup function and extracting data from the different sheets based on specific parameters.
Both workbooks are stored on OneDrive in the same folder.
Information technology all works fine every bit long as the first workbook (the data container) is opened on my PC. When I close this file, The second workbook gives error messages as result for the x.lookup referring to the tables. It seems that the references in the x.lookup office are non recognized whatever more.
Is this normal behaviour ? Can I extract data from (dynamic) tables in other workbooks when these files are closed ? I hope this tin exist done without the utilize of PowerQuery (which is also a great tool).
Looking frontward to your reply.

Howdy, I have an excel workbook(1) that references sheets and cells in an external workbook(2), this works fine. My question is how can I easily redirect workbook(1) to the same cells just in a different external workbook?
So I desire to be able to reference the same sheets and cells, simply just in a different workbook without having to manually alter the references. I want changes in workbook(2) to be reflected in workbook(1).
Promise this makes sense.Paul

Hi, I am needing to pull information from one tab (or worksheet) titled Training Records into another tab to create statistics from. I am needing to nest three weather condition. (If cell = assigned, then appear equally Incomplete. If jail cell = a date nine-Dec-21, then appear as consummate. If cell = not required, then appear as NR.)

Hello!
Always employ text values with double-quotes. Apply the Appointment function to specify the date.=IFS(J2="assigned","Incomplete",J2=DATE(2021,12,9),"Complete",J2="not required","NR")
I hope my advice volition assistance y'all solve your task.

Your proffer worked. This is the formula that I have at present.
=IFS('Training Records'!J3="assigned","Incomplete",'Preparation Records'!J3=DATE(2021,i,1),"Consummate",'Training Records'!J3="not required","NR")
My terminal remaining question is how to configure the DATE formula (2021,1,1) to represent whatever date. Not merely a specific date. Is the format listed above correct?

Hi Svetlana!
Suggestion -
In the section "External reference to an open workbook", add a troubleshooting notation, that if selecting a range in the referenced file is not automatically generating the reference in the formula, then mayhap the excel files are open in different instances of excel. To confirm, open Task Manager, and see if all open Excel files are nested under a single instance of Excel. If not, close 1 file and open it again from the other file.I but ran into this issue today. Found the solution here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/cant-reference-a-cell-in-another-file/ce05b277-5b67-4fdf-ab8b-e63a1e7a610d

howdy, sorry my question is not clear, then here it is, I want to retrieve data from another worksheet, if typed manually it will take a long time because the information is a lot, so I want to ask if the =worksheetname!cellname command can be written by clicking on a cell another, so there is already another cell containing the worksheet and cellname in a dissimilar cell, then I fabricated 2 columns, the beginning cavalcade contains the worksheet name, the second column contains the cellname proper noun, if I can fill in the command to remember information by clicking on the cell in the worksheet name column and the cell in the cell name column, I don't need to write i good day i "address of the data to be retrieved but only demand to drag it down. . is this possible? and so the =worksheetname!cellname command is filled from two other cells.

Hello Susanto,
You may take amend luck using a lookup (my favorite is the Index-MATCH method).
Just if you really need information technology as yous described - one possible solution for you may be the INDIRECT() function. So if your addresses are listed in column A, you can write the following formula in B1, and drag (or re-create) information technology downwards: =INDIRECT(A1)Regards,
Sergey

I have several sheets inside a file. Each sheet has a formula to become data from the 'INFO' canvas. =INFO!I1
When the file gets sent to others and and so the sheets are edited by different people and then all the sheets are copied back into the primary file, this formula is messed up as it is trying to reference a sail from a different file. How can I make this formula ever pick the data from the 'INFO' canvass within this same file rather than going looking for an external file?

Hullo,
I have a workbook merely some of the information is sensitive, whereas a lot of it is very useful for some other department in my company. Is at that place a way to reference the relevant data in workbook 1 to a (supposed) workbook two and to accept it update whenever we alter data in workbook 1 without allowing file admission to workbook 1?
Workbook 1 is saved in a SharePoint Library that only my department has access to for confidentiality reasons, and we cannot let access to this file to anyone outside my section only we really don't want to indistinguishable work by copying and pasting data that already exists for our other section.
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance.

Jennifer says:
I take a master workbook saved on my desktop that pulls totals from several workbooks that are on my companies sharedrive. Several people piece of work within the workbooks beingness referenced and they often need to add together rows within the worksheets. This unfortunately is messing up the reference every time. I have removed the "$" and so they should be relative refences. It does not appear to be happening when I take the chief workbook opened at the fourth dimension of the row addition. I am not sure what I am missing. Below is an example of what the reference looks like. F48 is where the total sits when I create the sail. When a row is added it even so pulls from F48 although the total is now in F49.
='\B\2020\Timesheets\project\[07-2020.xlsx]Proper name'!F48
Do you need more than information?

I have a MASTER spreadsheet that uses cell references to pull information from 3 data template workbooks. All four of these files reside in the aforementioned folder on Dropbox. Periodically, I save a copy of each information template onto my Mac laptop and I add the 24-hour interval's date to the name. Unexpectedly, the MASTER spreadsheet unilaterally changes the prison cell references to the name of ane of my data backup files, replacing the original cell reference that I had created inside the Main. So then, that group of data is no longer beingness pulled from the Dropbox file. Why is this happening, and how do I foreclose information technology?

Nav says:
We have an Excel Workbook with x to 15 worksheets and all these worksheets interacts with one another for calculations and for information. Some of these worksheets gets Data from other excel workbooks by a cell reference formula. The main workbook depends on worksheets and other excel files/workbooks to get data and do calculations this work is washed in one case a year. So many references, formulas and calculation are involved. Each year we copy all the last yr workbooks and update the source files to practise the calculations for the present twelvemonth. The master excel workbook mostly does the calculation by itself when the source information feeds into the workbook and there are some excel cells in the master workbook that needs information from user merely this is rare.
Is at that place a way to track all the changes happened in the source files that got feed into master workbook, similar old values in source values that got updated to new values and also capture quondam and new value in primary volume for comparison. Tracking should capture values not formulas.

Hello, give thanks you for quick response. I tried track changes within excel but this doesn't work in my situation. If i take an empty cell in main excel and if i have a formula that gets value from other excel file runway modify shows old value as 0 and new value as formula.But if i update source file with different value runway change wont capture this because formula will be same. Nosotros have some where around 12 source excel files that we update value and this data volition feed into master excel file
I am new to final changed cell concept but i desire to track each and every prison cell that got updated in source file with sometime value and new value. This data will feed into master workbooks and again i want to capture erstwhile and new value so we tin but manually check the 2 log sheets to brand sure all the data is right and feed properly into principal excel file.

I have a workbook with a consolidated canvas and a sheet for each person. The consolidated sheet is more similar a summary of each month and the total corporeality spent etc. the consolidated sheet pulls the totals, the name and the amounts grade the sheets, but I wanted the sheets to pull the FTE and budget amount from the Consolidated sheet, this way when having to update the corporeality from year to year it tin be updated in one place and not have to click on every canvass to update. The trouble I am running into is when I endeavour to sort the Consolidated canvas. I have used the =sheetname!A5 formula to pull the information onto each private sail but when I sort the consolidated sail the prison cell stays the same even when the name moves. How practise I get it to movement with the sort?

Hi Alexander
Lamentable about the misunderstanding before I promise beneath covers all queries.
1 ; Find same source name on both sheets?
ii ; Friction match source name with max, 2nd, third, quaternary latest date (4 Rows)?
iii ; Match by name & engagement across all ten columns?
4 ; Formula "QLD FIELDS"
5 ; Information from "QLD RESULTS"Retrieving information from "QLD RESULTS" & placing Formula in another canvas name "QLD FIELDS"
Both sheets start in cavalcade A with proper name.
"QLD RESULTS" has about 12 column of all data by eg;
A=Name, B=Engagement, C=Altitude, D=Track, East=Finish, & then on
"QLD FIELDS" column A6 has "Source Name" to retrieve all information with latest 4 max dates.
"QLD FIELDS" is formula area starting in Column N6 - N9 & beyond.(4 Rows latest 4 Dates)Say you have Jumping Joe as your "Source Name" in QLD FIELDS column A6!
" QLD RESULTS" in column A observe "Jumping Joe"/ in column B find latest max date/ match both A & B max engagement to get column C/ match both A & B max appointment to become column D/ & and so on across. (QLD FIELDS column N6)
Same as to a higher place to get 2nd max date information. (QLD FIELDS column N7, O7, P7, Q7 so on beyond)
Same as above to get third max date information. (QLD FIELDS column N8, O8, P8, Q8 so on across)
Aforementioned as to a higher place to get fourth max date information. (QLD FIELDS column N9, O9, P9, Q9 so on across)Regards

I would like to use a cell value (i, 2, 3, etc) in the source canvass as a (looked-upwardly) reference to another tab/worksheet (the target) in the same workbook (likewise named 1, 2, 3, etc), and thereby extract a value from a different cell in the target worksheet. I can't find any way of using the cell value in the source sheet to identify the relevant target tab in an EQUALS function such as =Sheet1!A2 (where the 1 is picked up from a cell in the source sail). Information technology seems straightforward just I've been at it over viii hours....

Hi,
I wish to pull a Title from another tab, the title refers to a Number, that i put in automatic, next to the title cell.
No 2436(manual input -> Championship (automatic pulled) - then the title cell needs to look in another tab, for the Number and and so take hold of the championship from cell next to information technology... understandable? :)THANKS :)

I would like to be able to gear up this up:
If C2=F and then C3=8.
I have this information listed in another sheet:
F viii 4
So I could just pull it from those cells. If C2=F then C3=8 and C4=4.
The problem I am running into is that I would like to accept multiple options. For case: If I enter F into that cell, I would like 8 and 4 to prove upward. But if I enter R into that cell, I would like 6 and 3 to testify up.I promise I fabricated that clear and that someone could assist me. Thanks in advance!

I would like to be able to set this upward:
If C2=F and so C3=eight.
I have this information listed in another sheet:
F viii four
And so I could just pull it from those cells. If C2=F so C3=viii and C4=4.
The problem I am running into is that I would like to have multiple options. For example: If I enter F into that cell, I would like viii and 4 to show upward. But if I enter R into that prison cell, I would like half dozen and 3 to show up.I hope I made that clear and that someone could assistance me. Thanks in advance!

I have 18 subgrantees (clients) and on one of my workbooks each client has their ain tab/worksheet. Each of their worksheets have the same structure, and many of the cells populate from unlike workbooks on our network. Occasionally I desire to send one of them a re-create of their spreadsheet, but I take to send it equally a .pdf because when I ship their worksheet out of my network, the references all get lost.
Is there a way to copy a workbook and brand any values are in a jail cell stay every bit they are, non as a reference?

Brendan says:
Hullo All,
Delight assist with a question of mine. I have it set up every bit Svetlana described and it works Just doesn't automatically update between sheets when information is changed. If I desire the primary workbook (the one pulling data from other workbooks) to have the correct/electric current info...EVEN AFTER EVERY OTHER WORKBOOK IS SAVED...I have to double click on the cells then click the workbook its referencing from a file explorer type window. I want the data to auto-update on the main workbook as soon as the "source workbooks" are edited and saved b/c I have MANY lines of calculations being made and I don't want to have to double click on every i everytime I open up the main file just to brand data current.
Is at that place whatsoever style to solve this trouble?
-
Hello Brendan!
First off, please check your Excel settings: Excel - File - Options - Advanced - Update links to other documents. Likewise, please go to Data->Edit Links and make sure the autoupdate for each link is enabled.Promise it'll help, otherwise delight do not hesitate to contact me back.
-
Alexander,
Thanks for replying, just bad news, I tried both and its still non working! Please see below for more info, likewise every bit another question on something totally different (obviously you seem to exist an excel expert, doesn't hurt to enquire while I have you):- The Excel-file-options-advanced-update things was already checked. The data-edit links thing was checked as "automated" not manual, so practiced there too.
- Not sure if its helpful, but on that edit links surface area it gives options to the right (update values, change source, open source, interruption link and check status). The "Sources" listed to the left shows the correct filename (I've used "closedworkbook.xlsx" and "openworkbook.xlsx"), type: worksheet, Update: A, and Status: Unknown. When I click on Check Status the status for each instantly changes to Fault: Source not found (which I think is wierd...both files are saved on my PC, both saved right next to each other on the desktop, have not been deleted, etc. When I click on Update Values it opens the file explorer blazon box for me to assign the file again, which I do, and then the status changes to "OK". Then when I click check status over again information technology goes back to error source non constitute.OK, second totally separate issue. I'm developing a somewhat elaborate spreadsheet (for me as a novice) that has formulas pulling data from other sheets within the aforementioned file. Delight let me give you an example of what I'thou trying to accomplish and then the issue (b/c information technology actually works fine until the issue):
- Sail 1 has the base of operations data. There are 12 columns and 30 rows worth of it. One column (D) is "Jan" and has four carve up peoples names, in no item guild (Ex: ane Tom Smith, 3 Sue Jones, half-dozen Nick Thomas and 20 Lisa Brownish). Tom, Sue, Nick, Sue, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Sue, Lisa, etc.
- Sheets ii through 5 are named Tom, Sue, Nick and Lisa, and I'm using a formula to auto-populate information from Sheet Jan, bringing over all of the information pertaining to that specific person. On Sheet Tom, the formula I'1000 using is =FILTER(Jan!A:L,Jan!D:D="Tom Smith"). Works PERFECTLY! Then when I email the spreadsheet to a colleague it changes the formula to =_xlfn._xlws.filter($January.A:L,$Jan.D:D="Tom Smith") and doesn't piece of work. Tried it on different comps, unlike versions of excel, tried it on libre office, etc.

Barbara says:
I have done it as described. It works across workbooks. Withal, the moment I brand a change to workbook B, sheet B - and if it is only entering a value in any cell - and so salve and close B.xlsx, I lose my value in A.xlsx/A-sheet-cell. The prison cell shows a #Bezug (in German language) where the sheetname B should be. The remainder of the link still shows correct, but the canvass-proper name got lost and was replaced by #Bezug.
What is going on???? -

To increase the cell y'all'll need to use the CELL() function.
Dynamic Sheet: =INDIRECT(canvas&"!"&Cell("address",A1))
Dynamic Workbook: =INDIRECT("'["&workbook&"]"&sheet&"'!"&CELL("address",A1))For me it looks like this: =INDIRECT("'["&$D$1&"]"&$B$one&"'!"&Prison cell("accost",B6))
In D1 i have the file/workbook reference and in B1 I have the sheet proper name. -

Post a annotate
Source: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2015/12/08/excel-reference-another-sheet-workbook/
I have a line of lawmaking that is referencing file and sheet, but I need to specify the range in R1C1 format then I tin use information technology in a loop. Nevertheless no affair how I format it, Excel doesn't like information technology. I'm extracting information elements from a machine controller into excel for press and archiving. The machine controller has an array of 100 elements, each 100 data entries long. This is what I take now (that doesn't work):
data = DDERequest(rsichan1, "Recipe_Library_STF[" + CStr(Index) + ",0],l120,C120")
Range("[Tilt_recipe.csv]Tilt_recipe!" + Cell(Alphabetize + ane, one), Jail cell(Index + one, 120)).Value = data
Somehow, when calculation the reference for the file and worksheet doesn't allow me to specify the cell addresses in R1C1 (or at to the lowest degree I don't know how to specify information technology).
This works....
data = DDERequest(coil, req)
Range(Cells(iv, Alphabetize + 3), Cells(104, Alphabetize + 3)).Value = data
Whatsoever thoughts on how to format this properly?
