Hidden formulas

[Mick]

About a month ago I wrote a short set of formulas to show a table of
win/losses and % won per session and running totals. Table below:


A B C D E F G H I J
Running Total Session Wins to Reach
Losses Wins % Total % 70% 71% 75%
8/18/2007 575 1329 69.80% 1342 1408 1725
9/1/2007 615 1415 69.70% 126 68.25% 1435 1506 1845
9/2/2007 627 1439 69.65% 36 66.67% 1463 1535 1881
9/3/2007 630 1451 69.73% 15 80.00% 1470 1542 1890
9/16/2007 642 1493 69.93% 54 77.78% 1498 1572 1926

I though I had done it with formulas in cells. The idea was to enter data
in Columns A B C then the formulas would figure out the other columns for
that row. When I went back to update the formulas, I can't find them in the
cells or as a macro for a sheet change. I didn't remember them being set up
with a change sheet macro and or hidden some way. When yo look at the sheet,
the cells and formulas bars are blank. But when you enter the data in
columns A-C the formulas appear in the cells for the new row of data. When
I went to VB there are no macros that I can find that are entering these
formulas.

How can I find these formulas to make changes?

It sounds like you have a Worksheet_Change macro in the sheet code module.
Right click the sheet tab at the bottom of the screen, then click View Code

My thoughts also. There is not request to activate macros when I open the
workbook either. So I checked the code anyway and there is no code that I
can find in the worksheet or the workbook producing these formulas. I was
able to copy rows 3-10 to another workbook and it exhibts the same responses.
Again there was no worksheet macros that I could find. If I turn off the
automatic calculation then when I enter the data nothing happens untill I
recalculate with F9. This was written Excel 2000 and a copy of the workbook
exhibited the same responses in Excel 2003. If you want a copy of the
workbook I would be glad to send it.

No, I don't really want a copy of the workbook. Have you tried checking for
precedents and dependents to see if there is a link?

But when you enter the data in

columns A-C the formulas appear in the cells for the new row of data.

The formulas do not have to be in A-C for there to be a reaction when you
put something in those columns. I think you answered your own question with
the statement above. The formulas are in all the cells to the right of Col
A-C. Something like IF(a>0 And b>0 And c>0, c/(b+c), "") which would give
the percentage of wins to games played.

I went to options and turned on formulas. All cells are blank to the right
of columns A-C in the blank row until data is entered in colums A-C of that
row. Once the data is entered the formulas appear.

One more thing to try, and it is really a long shot. Click Tools>Macro>macros
and see if there are any macros listed in the Macro drop down dialog box.
If not, then I am out of guesses.

 

[JLGWhiz]

Just thought of one more. Select one of the cells where the formulas show up
after you make an entry. Then click Format>Cells>Protection and see if the
Hidden box is checked. If it is, then uncheck it and see if the formula then
shows in the formula bar for that cell. If so, that's the answer.

I have a personal.xls with macros. I closed it and then checked to see if
the formulas would show up after the data is entered, and they did. I
checked the code for the sheet and no macros were present. I also set macro
security high and the workbook would open without any question or indication
of macros. You can see the formulas after data is entered on a blank row.
If you skip a blank row no response when the data is entered. Delete the
entered data and fill in the previous blank row entry data and the formulas
show up.
