For Current Date - you can use the =Now() function in your cell where you want the date.

For Contract #, I don't know what you're using, but you can link to a database of contract #s (see below), or you can name a range like current contract #, which gets updated by 1 each time you add another contract, which then is automatically posted on your EXCEL



DGET(database,field,criteria)
Database is the range of cells that makes up the list or database. A database is a list of related data in which rows of related information are records, and columns of data are fields. The first row of the list contains labels for each column.
Field indicates which column is used in the function. Enter the column label enclosed between double quotation marks, such as "Age" or "Yield," or a number (without quotation marks) that represents the position of the column within the list: 1 for the first column, 2 for the second column, and so on.
Criteria is the range of cells that contains the conditions that you specify. You can use any range for the criteria argument, as long as it includes at least one column label and at least one cell below the column label in which you specify a condition for the column.

When i open remote management showing a error message''error:1004'' please help me to solve this problem.

his problem can occur when you give the workbook a defined name and then copy the worksheet several times without first saving and closing the workbook, as in the following sample code: Sub CopySheetTest() Dim iTemp As Integer Dim oBook As Workbook Dim iCounter As Integer ' Create a new blank workbook: iTemp = Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook = 1 Set oBook = Application.Workbooks.Add Application.SheetsInNewWorkbook = iTemp ' Add a defined name to the workbook ' that RefersTo a range: oBook.Names.Add Name:="tempRange", _ RefersTo:="=Sheet1!$A$1" ' Save the workbook: oBook.SaveAs "c:\test2.xls" ' Copy the sheet in a loop. Eventually, ' you get error 1004: Copy Method of ' Worksheet class failed. For iCounter = 1 To 275 oBook.Worksheets(1).Copy After:=oBook.Worksheets(1) Next End Sub

choose 'paste special' and make sure that 'All' is selected not 'values'

Tools protect workbook& sheet

Open the protected sheet... Go to edit and click select all. Go back to edit and click on copy. Open a new excel sheet, go to edit and click on paste. Now you have the copy of the protected sheet without the protection.

If/Then Formula

not really
Just create the
formula =if(e1=1,"X",if(e1=2,"Z","")) in cell K1 then
formula =if(f1=1,"X",if(f1=2,"Z"),"") in cell L1 then
formula =if(g1=1,"X",if(g1=2,"Z","")) in cell m1 then
formula =if(H1=1,"X",if(h1=2,"Z","")) in cell N1 then
if you wanted another statement
formula =if(H1=1,"X",if(h1=2,"Z",if(h1=3,"Y,""))) in cell N1
this is nesting the if statement you just keep adding conditions.
What you are asking I have to type this in 600 times
No just do one line and then highlight the cells with the if in it and then select copy from edit menu or right click and select copy
Then click on next 599 cells by clicking on first cell and hold mouse button down and drag down mouse to last 1000 row of cell and right click mouse and select paste. The formulas will alter accordingly as pasted to each cell

You could also use a vlookup statement
you open another workbook look at bottom of worksheet for tabs to add a workbook.
Then you create a table in other workbook
1 cell A1 H in B1
2 cell A2 Z in B2
https://www.timeatlas.com/vlookup-tutorial/
you would still need to copy the cells down

Excell workbooks

You need to learn how to use the, "Paste Link," function. If you copy the spreadsheet and paste the information into a new tab in the same workbook, using the 'paste link' feature, the information on the linked pages will update automatically each time you update the page the links are based upon.

Exel 2003

You can refer to cells that are on other worksheets by perpending the name of the worksheet followed by an exclamation point (!) to the cell reference. In the following example, the AVERAGE worksheet function calculates the average value for the range C1:C10 on the worksheet named Marketing in the same workbook.

default.aspx?assetid=za010939481033 Refers to the worksheet named Marketing default.aspx?assetid=za010939491033 Refers to the range of cells between C1 and C10, inclusively
  1. Click the cell in which you want to enter the formula.
  2. In the formula bar (formula bar: A bar at the top of the Excel window that you use to enter or edit values or formulas in cells or charts. Displays the constant value or formula stored in the active cell.) default.aspx?assetid=za060515351033, type = (equal sign).
  3. Click the tab for the worksheet to be referenced.
  4. Select the cell or range of cells to be referenced.

Consolidate few sheets under 1 excel

What version of Excel are you working with. Newer versions allow you to have multiple spreadsheets grouped together into what is called a, "Workbook." To view the sheets separately, you simply click on the tabs at the bottom of the workbook. The easiest way I know of to join spreadsheets together into a single workbook is to open all of them at the same time, then choose, "View / Arrange All," and they'll be small, but you can grab each one by its tab and drag it to the workbook you want them in. Then you save the workbook (give it a new name like, "Accounting Roll-UP," or, "Consolidated Books," or whatever best describes it) making sure to close all the (now empty) spreadsheets without saving your changes to them (or else you'll lose your 'back-up' data). Voila! You open one file, and all your spreadsheets are available with the click of a mouse.
