To Type The Number 413 And Have Joe Smith Appear In The Tech Cell
May 23, 2009
I am in a role that has recently required me to do scheduling for employees every week. The schedule is 6000 rows of sites with columns A-N used for data such as site #, date, address, tech name. I want the tech name to be associated with the site number. Example:
Site Date Tech Name
413 5/17 Joe Smith
413 5/29 Blank
How do I get "Joe Smith" to magically be linked with site 413 and automatically populate in 5/29 when I enter it in initially for 5/17? I want all the techs to do the same sites from start to finish but the data entry is brutul. I am very basic in excel. Ultimately, I want to type the number 413 and have Joe Smith appear in the Tech cell. Is this possible?
The goal is to type a number in a cell (G4) on a worksheet, and then look it up in different work sheets (JANUARY THROUGH MARCH) in a different workbook,(NEW DAILY SUMMARY.xls) Once found, import the value of the cell next to were the number was found....
(3) examples when I type a number to a cell: If I type a number "1", I want that cell to show 1.000% but not 100.000%. If I type a number ".2", I want that cell to show 0.200% but not 20.000%. If I type a number "25.5", I want that cell to show 0.255% but not 2550.000%.
I play around with the below custom format cells but they do not work. _0.01*#.000% _0.01*#,.000% 0.01*#,.000%
I could use two cells one for number, other cell has a % mark. But I rather to format a single cell if it is possible.
My excel recently the General number format so that when the general number fomat is used and I type a number in a blank cell with the general format, the number is always divided by 10.
E.g., I enter "102", the number is automatically improperly converted to 1.02. However, if I enter "=102", the number is properly entered as 102.
How can I reset the General format to the original setting without this divide by 100 problem?
I need to convert numbers to text in excel 2007. I have done it before in 2003, but can't seem to remember exactly what I used. I may have used some kind of conditional formatting, but not sure.
Here is an example of what I need.
If I type "7203" in a cell I want "Home Repairs" to appear. I have a list of words associated with a list of numbers and want to be able to type the number in a cell and have the word appear.
Here's what I'm doing: I'm using a macro to assign a cell value to a variable then set another cell value to the variable instead of copy/paste (because even pasting values only was affecting other formulas in the file for some reason)
The problem: in using the macro, the number being 'copied' is acquiring a few extra decimal places IE 38334.61 is the original number and 38334.609375 is what I end up with. The numbers come from a CSV with only 2 decimal places and I checked by adding decimal places in the format so it's not a formatting/visible digits issue. Since the values are hour meter readings, the extra decimal places end up with very small values outside 0-24 hrs which messes with sorting and usage %. The values are so small all of them together in a month add up to a fraction of a cent but it's one of those things that bugs my OCD by not being right.
My VBA book explains the min/max capabilities, content type, memory bits but not fiddly details like this.
So my question is this: right now I'm declaring the clipboard-substitue variable as an single, is there a different one that would work better without adding anything? Criteria are: numeric, 6 digits before the decimal, 2 after, all positive values. (Ie 123456.12)
"Type Mismatch error" in the macro below. I am trying to implement logic, where if value in column F, equals "1ma+89", then extract 89 only in column G. I also have other values in column F, where I have set specific rules for them, to extract numbers.
I have attached a worksheet with example data and highlighted red cells, represent incorrect output from the macro.
I want to force my user to input a date in a userform. I have a normal Textbox and assumed i'd be able to set the properties to mean that imput had to be an integer and the format had to be "00/00/00" but I can't see how to do this.
I have declared a 'long' variable. however; how do I change the variable data type to string if user input is not a number? how do I recognize the user input's datatype?
1. Is there a VBA Function equivalent to the FIND() function, If so What is it? 2. Let's say Im Putting a Date into a inputbox, what is the type # for date (Type:=?)??
I am trying to figure out how to not allow a word to be type into a cell. I am relatively new to excel and I am working on a spreadsheet where I do not want the word TOMORROW to be allowed in a cell.
I want a macro to select the cell with i type. Like i type in cust-0001 and it selects the cell which has cust-0001. I then want it to select the cell in column C that is in the same row with that value. E.g. Find cell in column A with value cust-0001 and then select the cell in column B in the same row.
How do I determine a cell's type (e.g., numeric or string or formula) and if numeric, the format (e.g., currency, general, scientific) including the number of decimal places.
Is there a function that returns the object's properties? Must I use isnumeric, isformula, and so on or is there one function that returns this information?
How can I identify a cell type at excel sheet (w/ VBA command) ? I find this command (from Access forum): http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread601180.html but its working only with Access...
I have a workbook that includes a drop down list with three options. One of the options is "TA". The default font type for these cells is "Wingdings" but when "TA" is chosen I want the Font Type to change to "Arial".
I have a big list of words (raw materials). Can I for example use column1 in which if i type one letter a list of words that begin with this letter to come out so i can choose one.
Or I have for example:
Label 1 Label 2 Label 3
And when i type L in cell A1 list of them to be shown and I can choose one.
I have some tabs that are color coded. What I want to do is:
1. Depending on the tab color on Sheet A, have it compare that color to a set of cell colors on Sheet B that have descriptors next to them, 2. vlookup the descriptor on Sheet B and 3. put the descriptor into cell A2 of sheet A
I have several textboxes that are not on a userform; they reside on worksheet A. I want to format these textboxes so that they only accepts numberical values (like 500,000....no dollar sign and no cents needed). After typing in 500,000 lets say for this example, I want to paste it into a cell in worksheet B (I can actually handle this part). What iIcan't handle is:
Formatting the textboxes so that they only accept numbers (or display a message if a number is not entered) Display the 500000 as 500,000 in the textbox without the user having to enter a comma Hitting enter or tab to get the value from the textbox into the cell in worksheet B. It only pastes it into worksheet B when I click on another cell. That doesn't seem like the right way to enter data.
I am wondering if I just should have used a userform and added the controls onto it. I have 8 sets of 5 user controls; I thought this would be easier.
I'm trying to apply the code for accumulating value in a single cell to a range of cells.
I want to use the code found in this thread [URL] ..... but, it only lets me edit "B1" to another single cell. I need my cells G4 to G469 to operate the same way.
How to edit the code so I can include a range or show me a version of the code where I can enter my desired range?
Like u see in attachment i have products in cells wich are painted in different colors. I need to compare two numbers of different product, and write result to column "Type D,C,B". If one of two products is without color/white or they are not the same color then result is always "D", if both products/cells have same color and different number then results is "C", if the color and number is the same then result is "B"
Below cell B2 I will write numbers by hand, when I finish and start macro it will compare first cell B2 and B3 and write result to C3, then compare B3 and B4 and write result to C4 and do that until there is any number in column B:B.
I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.
I am trying to achieve the below objective but getting error message
Objective: select last non blank row and offset to next cell type a message in it error message: Runtime error 1004 : method 'Range' of Object '_Global' Failed
CODE:
Sub lastRowAll() myvar = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(11).Column myrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(11).Row Range(myvar, myrow).Offset(0, 1).Value = "Experiments with VBA" Range(myvar, myrow).Offset(0, 1).Activate End Sub
