How to make sure that every workbook I create has the option of "backing up before saving" turned-on? I need a Excel-wide option, i.e. one that applies to all workbooks created, The known to me facility of turning the option on every time I create a workbook is not satisfactory because often I forget to turn the option on when creating a new book -- and I create many.
View 2 RepliesI have created a spreadsheet for my friend. As my friend is a little 'scared' of excel I created drop downlists to complete the spreadsheet i have also protected all the cells that have formula in them so that they can not be deleted.
the spreadsheet he opens is prefect, he then updates this spreadsheet and has done something wrong but doesn't realise, he then saves the spreadsheet, it is at this point he wants a back up copy of the perfect spreadsheet, that way if he goes back into the saved copy and realises that something is wrong he can go to the back up copy and start again. This spreadsheet is filled in once a week, that way if he has done something wrong and has to refer to the back up copy he only loses one weeks worth of work.
I did say that he could choose save as instead of just save and re-name the file but again he is worried that he will forget!
Can we create a back up file automatically? If yes, can some please tell me how to?
I have never used macros or anything so if you can do this, can I ask that you also explain to me how to do it.
I have a sheet with hundreds of rows of data. I created a UserForm to cycle through each row of data. I am not sure how to do the cycling though. The UserForm has ten textboxes. Textbox one contains the value in cell A1 of each row. I know I could use vLookup to populate the remaining textboxes in the userform based on the value of textbox1 - but I wanted to either create a scroll bar or "NEXT" botton that would cycle back and forth retreving row data based on the value in cell A1 of that row.

A1
A2

Where each (i.e., A1) represents a location. I have tried to use a coordinate system but this will not work for the back-to-back locations. (Assuming each location is 2 feet wide, For example A1 to C1 is 4 feet apart, not 2 feet (as Euclidean or rectilinear would calculate it as).
Would there be a way to incorporate an if statement for those locations that are back-to-back? As a rectilinear distance calculation would work as long as the locations are not part of the same "block".
Ultimately I am looking to have a matrix which contains all the distances between each location:

I've got a master spreadsheet grabbing data from 12-13 different tabs/spreadsheets.
One of those has a table, and I was wondering:
Is it possible for the master spreadsheet to automatically add a new line every time someone adds a new line and creates a new entry in a different spreadsheet?
In other words,
If there is a table in the master spreadsheet, and someone adds a new line, is there a formula which allows the master spreadsheet to add a new line in order to autopopulate?
I have 2 types of data: Product & Store
And the data would go like this:
A
Corn Flakes
Frosted Flakes
Froot Loops
B
Store 1
Store 2
Store 3
Store 4
The number of entries of course is a lot bigger, that's why I'm trying to make it auto.
So what I need is to have a table created that would mix both data type in 2 columns, like this:
Product
Store
Corn Flakes
Store 1

How would this be done automatically by a formula?
I currently need to create around 1200 chart images using excel for a report series I am performing for a client. I have been trying all kinds of different things, all failures, to automate this process. My current method is to filter a pivot table on the building I am analyzing, copying the chart, pasting it as a picture in Ms Word, then saving that image as a Picture. Obviously, this process is quite lengthy, especially if I multiply that over the course of all 1200 images.
I am looking for a solution using a macro, vba, or a combination of things to automate this process and maybe even create the jpgs automatically?
to write a code that would create a chart automatically in another worksheet when a button is clicked.

coordinate # 3 = end, 0
I have an excel worksheet with data from A to T and the numbers of rows may change from use to use. I want to create a button/macro that determines where the data ends and will take the data from two columns, say column A and column D and put it in a new csv file.
In my final product, I would really like to be able to have a set of check boxes that say "Column D", "Column E", ... "Column T" and so if I check TWO boxes, say "Column D" and "Column T" and click create, it will output TWO csv files, one with Column A and Column D and the other with Column A and Column T.
I need to create a summary report on another sheet, but it is beyond my capacity.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a quite big database as a result of a study in Excel 2010. There is a special block of data for every participant in the study, including 16 data series in 16 lines. I have to make a unique chart for every line.
One block is bulid up in a way, that every row is the input for a chart, with the exception of one "spacer" row, which is empty.
Name
1 2 3 4 ...
A
B
C
D

For example in the sample above, there should be 6 line-charts (A, B, C, D, E, F) next to the block.
Can a macro be written, so I can automatically create the chart-set by selecting the block's upper left cell and running the macro? Or is there any easier method?
I am trying to further automate the process of formatting my financial statements and am hoping someone might get me on the right track here. Currently I create 2 sheets, one called "MMM YYYY" (i.e. month year) and another called "General Ledger".
The process I am currently doing manually is creating a link between each line item on the financial statement and its GL account information on the General Ledger tab.
The description of each line item on the financial statement (the MMM YYYY tab) matches the GL account description on the General Ledger tab with the exception that the GL account description starts with the GL account number and then the description.
For example the "Utilities" line item on the financial statement needs to link to a line on the General Ledger tab that is "7071-45 Utilities".
In my mind I see the macro saying go to the next line and read what it says. Now go to the General Ledger tab and look for something that says the same thing excluding any preceeding numbers and make a hyperlink.
If it helps, I've uploaded a sample of one of the statements as I currently do them with the hyperlinks already set up. There are not any macros in this spreadsheet. If you'd like to take a look at it, you can get it here: ....

I have been perusing various Excel sites in hopes of finding a macro or function that can create columns based upon two dates input into specific cells. My ultimate goal is to use this macro or automated function so that when the user inputs the dates, the columns would automatically be created for them, rather than having them do it manually.
ideally, the 'start' and 'finish' dates are named cells and the macro could determine the difference between the two and automatically insert columns to the left of a ' Totals' column.

I want to do is use a userform to automatically create a graph from the data that is shown in the worksheet. The data in the work sheet will grow and shrink all the time. Am i right in thinking I am meant to create a dynamic range? I know how to do it but am not too sure what I am meant to be naming. And secondly I am not too sure how I set up the button to produce the graph.
