How to Insert a Cell Name into the Cell
Submitted by kzaback on 16 November, 2012 - 00:59I have a large excel workbook (in Excel 2010) with more than 6,000 named cells. I would like to write a function that sets the cell value equal to the cell name.
I thought the following would work:
Sub FillNamedCells()
On Error Resume Next
For Each c In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Range(c).Value = Range(c).Name
Next
End Sub
Unfortunately this is returning the cell address though. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to return the cell name. I'm wondering if I need to change a setting. Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks!

IF Function in VBA
Submitted by silky on 14 November, 2012 - 20:46I managed to create a macro to show the following:
If (I3<>0,I3*G3,H3*G3) and this repeats itself for cell N3,R3, V3,Z3 ETC.
Option Explicit
Sub Eg()
Range("J3, N3,R3, V3,Z3,AD3,AH3,AL3,AP3,AT3,Ax3,BB3,XF3,BJ3").Formula = "=IF(RC[-1]<>0,RC[-1]*RC[-3],RC[-2]*RC[-3])"
End Sub
Let me explain a bit more how this should work:
This report needs to be downloaded from an application.
The macro needs to be attached to this report so that when I download the report the macro automatically runs this formula in the appropriate columns.

Generate a chart per item in a filter of a pivot table
Submitted by fdiang on 14 November, 2012 - 11:52Hi Experts,
I would like to create multiple graphs (one for each item of a pivot table filter), without the annoyance of generating a pivot for each chart. If the chart data update with the pivot table and/or it is possible to automatically generated the array of chart is a huge bonus.
The following image tries to illustrate what I'm talking about :)
Thanks in advance,

Help with formula for invoices
Submitted by pwsausa on 13 November, 2012 - 14:52I have created a blank invoice and have all of my inventory items in a separate tab but am having trouble with the formula to auto populate the cells. I have followed the exact instructions for vlookup and I am just getting a "0" in my fields. I have attached the template if anyone can help. I am building this for my nonprofit because we have changed database systems and our new system does not print invoices. Thank you so much.

Pivot Tables
Submitted by smytha6 on 12 November, 2012 - 22:26One workbook, one data file, lots of Pivots off the same data file.
When I move between worksheets I get corruption in that previous worksheet is still partly visible "behind" the worksheet I now want to look at. No VBA, No Macro's - any explanation / cure? Think it's v2007.

nested if with 4 price points
Submitted by NoeBol on 12 November, 2012 - 12:06Hi All,
I am trying to run a nested IF so that the price for a product is zero if not launched, then it is full price for 2 months followed by half price for 3 months, thereafter it falls to minimum price, and stays at this price until it the product ceases. Prices ar $1.99 full price, $0.99 half price and $0.69 thereafter.
The code I enter (and tried different permutations) gives me full price followed by minimum price, but I cant get it to give me the mid price. I know this maybe an obvious error, but I am now going round in circles on this one.
Query
Submitted by A Kumarsreenivas on 12 November, 2012 - 07:32Almir...
Please find the appended revised Query sheet.
The cells next to the 1st appearance of those 10 tiffs have to be filled with the 1st Element (Borrower) from sheet-3.
Cells next to the 2nd appearance of those 10 tiffs have to be filled with the 2nd Element (Lender) from sheet-3 and so on.
Manny's VBA script works but is there any way without getting into VBA script?
Please advise.
My curious quest to learn VBA scripting is still left unanswered. Could you please share your ideas.
Thanks & Regards
Kumar.

At work, need help with formula!
Submitted by Coonsy on 10 November, 2012 - 20:32Okay, so I'm stuck working with Excel 2003. I'm trying to get one cell to auto fill with the date and another with the current time when something is scanned into the spreadsheet. I keep getting circular reference issues/errors and the formulas break. The one I've been using for the date is this one, time is basically the same only NOW:
=IF(B137<>"",IF(C137="",TODAY(),C137),"")
Help please, I'm tied up with other things and don't have forever to search and find formulas more problematic in this old version than what I'm used to working with...

How to transpose and copy 16384+ column data in excel to notepad?
Submitted by Noor on 9 November, 2012 - 17:11Hi! i am stuck in this problem:
1) I have a column with about 200,000+ rows in Excel 2007, and need to
somehow get this transposed into a row (so with 200,000+ columns). I have
tried to do this with the TRANSPOSE function using Ctrl-C and using the Paste
drop-down menu and selecting the Transpose option. But I get an error message
that the copy area and paste area are not the same size. I presume this is
because I cannot paste across 25,000+ columns due to column capacity of
office i.e 16384 :( The thing is that i have to transpose this data in excel

Notifications from Excel
Submitted by six7pab on 8 November, 2012 - 22:16Hello,
I'm working with a excel spreadsheet of current contracts our company has with providers. Basically, I need to set up a system where I am notified when a current contract is ending (approximately 6 months prior to an end) so that we can reach out to the provider and possibly re-negotiate. We work with Outlook so I'm sure an e-mail notification would be okay, unless anyone can suggest a better process for being notified. So my questions are:
1. What would be the best process in Excel for receiving notifications for contract endings?
2. How do I set this process up?
Thanks,

My functions appear to work fine, but I get a #value error after execution
Submitted by Adam Stallcup on 7 November, 2012 - 15:00Open up the attached sheet, and go to the April sheet. This is the finished product; I did a paste special to paste only the values once the functions were done calculating. On the left is the report I want to generate, and the right side of the screen is my raw data. In the May and June worksheets I am using my own variation of dynamic ranges, by having each cell in my report reference the cells M2:U2, and as each month of raw data changes, I simply change the contents of m2:U2 to reflect the changing raw data.
