Using Excel, in one formula, how do I reference a cell used in another formula in a different cell?

A. ok 2 ways to do this. one in another cell, lets say b1 you type in =a12 then change your 2 formulas to say =mid(b1...) =if(b1...) then all you have to do is change b1 and the formulas will never change but will always be looking at the same data together. you could then create a macro to automatically change the value of b1. the other way is to cut and paste. put the formulas side by side rather than one over another. then when you copy and paste, the "a12" will change in both formulas to match the next cell.

A. If your worksheet names have a pattern to them, it may be doable with a formula. For example, if you have Sheet 1, then Sheet 2, etc., the formula below will find the sheet name, subtract one from the number at the end to get the previous sheet name, and then get the value from there. Putting this formula in Sheet 2 will get the contents of 'Sheet 1'!A1: =INDIRECT("'Sheet "& VALUE(RIGHT( MID(CELL("filename"), SEARCH("]", CELL("filename"))+1,256), 2)) -1 &"'!A1") I don't know how much trouble you want to go to to automate this, but if there is no easy pattern, you could put all the sheet names in a table and have the formula look up the previous sheet name by first looking up the current sheet name, using a formula similar to the one… [cont.]

In MS Excel, how do I reference a cell's color if it has been set by a conditional format?
Q. I have an Excel spreadsheet that has a few columns with conditional formatting. If there is an error (as determined by a conditional format) in any of the cells they turn red. I want to be able to reference the color of the cell as it's displayed, not as it's initially set before the conditional format. I have tried using c.Interior.ColorIndex however this just gives me the initial color of the cell. Any ideas?
Asked by Chocoholic - Tue Jun 2 23:27:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are two ways (maybe more) you could do this... Instead of checking for the interior color set by the conditional formatting, you could code to check for the same condition e.g. if cell B1 has a conditional format to turn red if it has an error value If WorksheetFunction.IsError (Range("B1")) Then MsgBox "Interior color is red." Else MsgBox "Interior color is not red." End If The other way is to check which Conditional Formatting condition is true (if any). Here is a site that gives you code to determine what condition is true and it also shows you how to get the color of that condition.

Describe the difference between an absolute cell reference and a relative cell reference in a spreadsheet?
Q. computer basic question
Asked by Sharmila V - Thu Feb 19 17:35:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. a cell reference is when an excel formula uses data from a different cell (looks something like A4) to calculate. relative cell reference- this means that as you copy or fill the formula down a column, the cell reference will change relative to its original position. so the A4 will change to A5 as you fill down. absolute cell reference- this means that as you copy or fill the formula down a column, the cell reference will always stayu the same. this is represented by $ symbols that make excel know you want an absolute reference. so the A4 will look like $A$4 and as you copy&paste down, the cell refence will never change. hope that helps.

A. just reference the sheet name, followed by the cell(s) on that sheet that you would like to have in any cell - like this: =Sheet1!A1 you can also do this by typing an = in the cell, then using your mouse to to go the sheet and cell(s) you want to link to, then press enter. this will create the formula without you typing it manually. you can also create links to sheets and cells in other workbooks this way, although the link is not updated automatically as it is when you reference cells and sheets in the same workbook.

A. When you copy cells with formulas in them, Excel changes the the formula to make a guess as to what your new formula references should be. However there are cases in which you do not what Excel to change a cell reference. By putting the $ in front of the column or row reference Excel will not change it when copying. For Example: A1 contains 10. B1 through B10 contains a series of the values 1 to 10. In C1 you create the formula =A1*B1.

A. The gene for the beta-chain of hemoglobin in found on chromosome #11. It codes for a polypeptifde 287 amino acids long, in which the 6th is normally glutamic acid. But in HbS, the 6th amino acid is valine. This is because there has been a base substitution in the middle base of the triplet- GTG instead of GAG. This is enough to place the wrong amino acid in the polypeptide.
