I've created a spreadsheet in which I want a blank row added when a previous row is filled in any of the boxes. I've used VBA code to insert a row but it just inserts a row in which all the cells are unmerged. I want a blank row the same as the ones we're filling so the document auto expands and there's always a blank row available to fill.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to have a form that people can fill in and I know it would be far better to use Word for this purpose but it looks so much better in Excel format. The problem is I have merged about 10 cells in a row and copied this format down a few rows.
Now although I have set the 'Text Wrap' option the rows will not auto expand unti to accodate all the text unless I do a ALT-ENTER combo. The problem is anyone using this spreadsheet to complete the form may not know how to use this feature.
Is there anyway Excel can expand automatically or do I need some sort of Macro based in the Worksheet that will automatically adjust the row if the text is too long to fit?
I'm using Excel 2010. One spreadsheet I'm using has 1048576 lines and is a XLSX file. The other file has 65536 lines and is also a XLSX file. When I try to do a VLOOKUP, I'm given an error stating "invalid reference. This file version cannot contain formulas that reference cells beyond 256 columns or 65536 lines.
If both are XLSX files how do I expand the amount of columns in the one spreadsheet with 65536 lines? I thought all XLSX files had a million lines.
I have 2 drop downs that when changed, auto refresh all pivot tables. My problem is getting the columns to auto-adjust based on the refresh or change of the data in the pivot table. Listed below the code I have thus far for the auto-refresh on pivot tables. How to auto expand all columns simultaneously.
The pivot tables are based off of tables on a different sheet(TOS Tables). So the code listed below is in the table sheet, not the pivot table sheet (TOS Customer Level). So followup question will be, which sheet to put the auto-expand columns code?
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
'If data on this worksheet changes, refresh the pivot table
Sheets("TOS Customer Level").PivotTables("PivotTable2").RefreshTable
Sheets("TOS Customer Level").PivotTables("PivotTable5").RefreshTable
End Sub
Is it possible to disable the auto filling, when copy/pasting formulas?
I have a range of formulas, which I want to copy/paste, and I want the pasted formulas to be the exact same as the copied.
Is this possible? I would prefer not having to use $ on all formulas.
I have created a couple of conditional formatting rules on the first row that fill the whole row of the table based on whether there a number in one cell or another. (Fill the whole row green if cell E3 has a number in it, or fill the whole row red if Cell F3 has a number in it).
I want to apply this to each row of the sheet but when I auto fill it down, the conditional formats fill but the reference cells stay as E3 and F3. This is causing the entire table to be filled instead of just the individual rows.
I don't want to have to put in conditional formatting rules manually for each row. Is there a way to auto fill down with the reference cells changing to suit each row like a normal formula would?
I want to be able to fill with the formula not modified (e.g., I do not want to use INDIRECT, OFFSET, etc.)
In Cell P3, I have the function "=IF(ISBLANK(C25),"",C25)."
I need to fill the next cells (horizontally) so that this increments numerically,
i.e., in Cell Q3, the function should read "=IF(ISBLANK(C26),"",C26)."
Is this possible without manually typing, and without having to modify the actual functions?
I have created a workbook with 31 worksheets (they represent each day of the month). I'd like to know how I can auto fill the date in cell A1 across the 31 worksheets without having to type in each day myself. I need the date format to look like this: Wednesday 7th May 2014
In other words, cell A1 in worksheet 1 needs to say Thursday 1st May 2014, cell A1 in worksheet 2 needs to say Friday 2nd May 2014, cell A1 in worksheet 3 needs to say Saturday 4th May 2014 and so on for the remainder of the worksheets for that month.

Starting to struggle a bit here. Trying to create a user form, with help from this website I was able to create 2 dropdown lists based on data validation and information from another sheet in the same workbook. I have one cell B7 that uses data validation and sheet "Eq List" to create a drop down list of departments that the user can select from. Once B7 is filled in, it creates the 2nd dropdown list in B9 so the user can pick "Equip Desc".
Where I am trying to fill B11 which should automatically give me back the Mach ID that is related to B7 & B9. Am I going about this the right way? I have ttached a sample file to make it easier to understand.
I've put together an annual leave tracker for the department and am trying to make it as automated as possible. It currently consists of two sheets, 'Leave Applications' and 'Leave Tracker 13'.
If you look at the 'Leave Applications' sheet, I wish to be able to take this data to fill the calendar on 'Leave Tracker 13' with either AL or HL to demonstrate whether the day is annual leave or half day leave. This only wants to happen if the leave has been accepted, represented by an 'A' on the 'Leave Applications' sheet. The calendar obviously doesn't have any dates in the cells but I've got around this when it comes to shading in weekends by concatenating the date above and to the left of the cells and assume I must be able to do the same for populating it.
It's also complicated by the 'Leave Applications' consisting of multiple members of staff, though this may be ordered by date.
when I run a macro, it takes me to a different sheet, clicks on a cell, and then goes to data--> form to automatically generate a form so I can make a new entry. I want the macro to wait until I have completed the form, and on completion to do something else. I'd prefer it if I could indicate completion of the firm by just a keystroke, but a mouse click will do as well.

For example, I want to apply a formula from A12 - the very last A cell row in the spreadsheet.
I have a document to track funding and would like to be able to auto-populate individual task sheets within the workbook based on a task drop-down. So if I choose Safety from the "Task Area" drop down it would auto populate the full row from the Master Sheet to the Safety Sheet. I have uploaded my document so you can better understand.

I'm trying to learn how to do auto sort. I Know how to do the custom manual sort but it is taking to long to do my spreadsheet every night. I love to play the greyhounds but to manually sort 18 columns a race with 15 races each night takes a while there has to be a easier way.
here a sample of what I'm trying to do. The columns are in two C-D E-F G-H I-J and so on. The rows here are 7-14 as you see I have to sort some high and some low. Is this possible to do a auto sort for each set of columns

Currently I am wondering if this is possible. I have a formula like,
=Total!O8+'Less-1.7'!O8+'Overall'!O8
In total, I have three spreadsheets by the name of that. Then I added a new spreadsheet called DummyTest. I wonder if I can make it so that this DummyTest spreadsheet will automatically go into the formula,
=Total!O8+'Less-1.7'!O8+'Overall'!O8+DummyTest!O8
My intention is to use the INDIRECT formula to put the spreadsheet name in a cell (refer to this topic that I posted earlier today - [URL]. The only problem is to get the formula to automatically add a new spreadsheet into it.
Note: The cell reference O8 is standard for all spreadsheets.

I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of sales that I make in ebay. The spreadsheet has the following columns: Name, Product, Prod Cost, Shipping Cost, Payment Received, Total. I have made a list way off the the right of the spreadsheet with all the products that I sell, so in the "Product" column I can use a pulldown menu and choose the item from the list. However, I was wondering if I could create it in such a way that when I chose the item from the list, it would automatically put the cost in the "Product Cost" field. Is this possible?

I have a button in a spreadsheet that auto populate's certain cells with this script very simple.
Sub Bundle_8230()
[C242] = "HP NC8230"
[C243] = "Deluxe Laptop Bag"
[C244] = "Travel Battery"
[C245] = "Mouse"
[C246] = "Keyboard"
[C247] = "Port Replicator"
[D242] = "1"
[D243] = "1"
[D244] = "1"
[D245] = "1"
[D246] = "1"
[D247] = "1"
End Sub
What i would need is a script so that it doesn't look at those specific cells
but a range of cells and every time the button is clicked it will fall into the first empty cells.
So example when button is clicked
Case 1 if cells C242 has something look at cell C243
If cell C243 has something look at cell C244
If cell C244 has nothing then enter data that goes with that button.
I have around 6 to 7 different buttons.

I am using Excel 2007.
I have a database that I export to excel every month. The export process is built in the database software (ACT!2009). The export opens Excel with the standard Book1.xls file name. All the field columns will be the same every month.
Goal:
I need to format the spreadsheet to make it more readable and have been assigned the task of:
1 - Inserting a blank row between each row that contains data and filling in with color.
2 - Resizing the blank row to make it look like a "thick" border.
3 - Auto adjusting the columns to correct size.
4 - The last column contains comments and needs to be wrapped text.
5 - All of this needs to fit on 1 sheet (landscape).
Issues:
1 - Each month there will be a different number of rows.
2 - I know I can create a macro to do this but the macro that I would be creating will be in a saved template or spreadsheet. How could I use a that recorded macro in a spreadsheet that is called Book1.xls?
I have attached 2 spreadsheets. One called Book1.xls which is the raw data after exported and the 2nd spreadsheet called Formatted which is the end result that I am looking for.
I have a data validation list that has approx 40 items.When I select the cell with the drop down list - only 10 or so items appear . I then have to use the scroll bar on the side to look further in the list. Is there a way that more than 10 or so ( possibly all ) items appear in the drop down box when the cell is selected - or is there a way that one can scroll down using the mouse wheel. ( I have to use the scroll bar at the moment ).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need help please. Using a macro, I have selected the range C7:C12. Now I need to keep this selection and expand it 18 columns to the right. This would give me a selection of C7:U12.
The original range changes at various times. Some times it might be C7: C452 etc.
I know it's easy, but I can get the code to keep the selection.
