Macro creation -- Add-in integration
Submitted by theryz on 28 July, 2015 - 11:06Hello,
I'm currently developing several Dashboards using an add-in to extract data from web services (such as Google Analytics). Given some of these webservices dont give the opportunity to make webQuery, I'd like to know if any1 could answer to this unsolved question:
- May I integrate an add-in (request) in Macro? If yes, how would it be possible to develop this macro?
Please, I'm looking for this answer for several weeks already. So if you have any clue, feel free to share :)
Thanks

Data extraction
Submitted by giggsy4ever on 26 July, 2015 - 17:22Hi,
I have been following all your posts on your youtube.
Just recently, I have learned how to extract records with multipole criteria’s dynamically. However, I still don’t know how to extract records when one of the criterias cells is blank
For example, if I am extracting using 4 criterias, (date-sales-region-salesman). For this, I have created 4 dropdown cells.
What I need to do is to leave the salesman cell blank, but still extract the rows that matches the 3 other criterias data-sales-region
Many Thanks,
Saud

VLOOKUP Query
Submitted by sgilliam on 23 July, 2015 - 00:05I am trying to figure out how to configure a formula (I believe it will be a combination of MATCH and VLOOKUP) to get results out of the following chart. The difficult part about the formula is that it will have three drop downs:
County
Persons
Percentage
Between these three options, I want Excel to return the corresponding cell.
excel usage statistics
Submitted by krolek on 22 July, 2015 - 17:10Hi everybody,
I have request to you. I have a lot of Excel files in my company, and it's a mess. It's really hard to manage all of those spreadsheets and know how other use them. I think about excel extension which could track all excel files in my company i.e it could see which files employees use regularly or which ones are unused. How many times I open files and for how long I use them. How big and complex are my spreadsheets. What do you think about it? Have you ever heard about something like that?

I am trying to calculate what the interest rate would need to be after following a shorter term essentially cost the same as as a longer term.
My example is;
$100,000 Principal & Interest over 25 years comparing a 2 year rate 5.00%apr vs a 3 year rate 5.20%apr.
I want to work out what the 1 year rate following the 2 year rate would need to be to break even with the 3 year rate.
Thus far I have been able to compare the CUMIPMT and CUMPRINC formulas of the known rates.

VBA: Insert File Name into a Column after Merging Multiple Files and Code "Yes" to Pop Up
Submitted by kk on 15 July, 2015 - 14:52Hello,
I am self-taught in VBA so my knowledge is limited. I figured out how to merge multiple files together and insert a column, but am unsure how to make Column A be the file name (I need this to be an identifier for the data).
I also receive a pop up that says "A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name '...', which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version name?" How do I code this to select "Yes" each time?
What I have is below:

Submitted by PaulDonnellan on 14 July, 2015 - 09:12You may have noticed that a file takes more time to download than to delete. This is because deleting a file only removes the door to the data and labels it 'ready to be overwritten'. The truth is that the information still remains on the device's memory and can be recovered with available technology.

Automatic verification/testing of your Excel model
Submitted by rhefft on 6 July, 2015 - 16:42Hello everyone,
What do you think about the idea of automatic verification of your project correctness?
I am working on the tool which helps to verify/test spreadsheet models - exceltested.com
The idea is inspired by unit testing from programming and many stories when Excel mistakes had serious consequences: eusprig.org/horror-stories.htm
Would you find it useful for developing your models?

Setting up a macro to move through a sheet
Submitted by Bowhaven on 2 July, 2015 - 16:24Hello there,
I am working with a large collection of data so I have attached an example where I have only left an example amount of data in but you get the idea. In the actual file there are around 2000 rows.
So what I want to do is to have an identical table on the second sheet but with a formula applied to each of the cells containing a number. The formula would be simple as it is just "3 - x" where x is each of the numbers in the massive table and they would be in their respective positions in this new table on the second sheet.
