absolute cell references

I need to copy/paste data into a table. From there, I need several columns to autopopulate with data. It works for simple absolute cell references i.e. Date = $O$1, Period = $O$2. However, when I try to use a formula I get an error and when I use other methods, they don't work. I have also tried...

How do I get a macro to keep the absolute reference of active cells for use in a cell formula later? i.e. I have cell E11 selected, I want my macro to remember the value in cell E11 and the reference, then move to column A in the same row and make a formula that is = 18 - E11 (which should...

Hi There! Hoping this is pretty simple, I just can't work it out, I know a plain vlookup isn't the answer, nor is using absolute $, I've tried indirect and another couple of options but to no success. The spreadsheet has more info, however for example purposes I have simplified it. What I'm...

When I run this VBA code: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(RC[-1]:R[14]C[-1])" It places the following formula in the active cell: =SUM(H19:H33) I need to modify that VBA code so that it whatever the active cell is it makes the first reference absolute. If I was clicked inside C19 it should...

I vaguely recall that there is a way to convert a range of cell references to absolute cell references in an efficient manner, but I have forgotten how. Basically the problem is that I wish to copy a range of cells with standard cell referencing to another column next to the original column and...

Please excuse the sanitised description. I have a list of people conducting a number of events each, over time. I need to be able to tell the time difference between the last event for each person and the previous events they conducted. I have attached an example of how I can do it manually...

For some reason, the below snippet of code inserts a formula where the lookup value for the match functions actually refers to cell RC1, rather than the first column of the sheet and the row of the active cell. Does anyone know why this code would do this? I think it has something to do with the...

Hi, I have a spreadsheet that has some values in cells A1:E1 (let's call these base values 1) The values in cells A2:A10 are calculated using the base values in A1:E1 So, the formulas is A2:A10 might look something like this... A2 = ($A$1 + $B$1 + $C$1 + $D$1 + $E$1) * 1 A3 = ($A$1 + $B$1 +...
