AboutBill Expertise I can provide help with most all EXCEL questions and most all questions about
writing EXCEL macros. I have been developing macros for about 10 years in
EXCEL and have switched to it from Lotus 1-2-3 after about 10 years of writing
macros in it. Typically, I will not write a macro for you unless it is very short because of all the details a macro has to know about to work every time all the time. Please understand that I do not know it all and will be the first to say so.
As politely as possible, I don't write macros for people on this site who need one, want one, seem to imply that they need one, and/or seem to think I am expected to write one UNLESS they are very short, quick, and simple.
99% of all macros are more involved than what you think and rarely am I provided with enough specific and complete details to have the code work the first time and every time. This typically means too many follow-up emails, and subsequent macro changes due to lack of specific details, just to get those details so that the macro would work, all of which is on my own free time.
The voice of experience from responding to many questions from people who ask me to write a macro for them from this site tells me this. I don't mean to come across as unhelpful but macros are usually very specific and without ALL of the specifics the macro I would write will not address all of your needs and the layout, location, formatting, conditions, etc. of your data and any related files the macro would have to work with.
What seems like a simple task to you is almost always more involved than what you think to have the macro ALWAYS work in EVERY situation.
If you have a macro you have already written and have a question about it then perhaps I could help with that. I am sure and hope you can and do understand.
Question Hello, my problem may be simple, but I can not find a solution:
I have many worksheets that are customers cards and on first worksheet I want to have something like a summary of some data.
I know how to connect cell in summary to cell in any sheet:
='1'!H1
but as I have many sheets, more than 200, I want to find some automatic function, that would fulfill it for me automaticly in this way:
='1'!H1
='2'!H1
='3'!H1
.
.
.
='n'!H1
is there some function like this?
please if you can, help me with this, because I am desperate to write this formula 279 times to one column and than to more 14 columns...
Answer Type ="'="&CELL("row",A1)&"!H1" in the first row Then use SmartFill and drag this down. Then select the entire range and do a copy, paste special as values.
Finally do a search and replace, searching for the apostrophe and replacing it with nothing and you should have your formulas.
