Practice Data
Feb 24, 2010Does anyone know where I can get a large amount of generic data that I could import? I don't want my skills to get rusty while I am out of work. I keep finding little tables here and there, but I am looking for a big file that I can really play with. Maybe something with 20 or 30 columns and several hundred rows?

Dec 2, 2008Am using a number of checks on Worksheet_Change and Worksheet_Calculate events and, depending on the result of the change, resetting a cell value.
For each of these I am using
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A1").Value = 0
Application.EnableEvents = True
to avoid that the change of A1's value triggers a calculation event and gets me into a loop.
However, something in my project is setting EnableEvents to False and not resetting it. I've searched the entire project for all instances and each "=False" is swiftly followed by a "=True". The code is not causing an error
The only way to get around this is to have a user press a button to re-enable events, but I can't tell them to press the button because there are no events to trigger the message!
Linking Data - Best Practice
May 13, 2006I have yet another general design or best practice question regarding linking data between sheets in a workbook.
So the example scenario is we have 12 individual customer pages shown amounts invoiced and credited for the financial year.
I want to create an overall summary page.
Is it best to:
1. Use straight link eg. =Data!A1
2. Use Vlookup
3. Use Indirect with Address function
4. Use Database functions
I believe providing you have enough available memory that there isn't an issue with any of the above methods.
Best Practice - Multiple Workbooks?
Jun 28, 2006Task - Streamline & Automate daily Excel Tasks for 13 Staff & Manager, based in 2 different locations. Current Status. 25 workbooks, "Shared", + 1 Workbook {List.xls}, "Not Shared". All Validation lists are in this List book. 1 main data entry sheet in each workbook, feeding totals on Main Tab. Each data entry sheet is 10 columns, 250-700 rows. 5 Colums are free text entry, 5 are fed from data validation lists. The data validation lists are on another Tab, which is linked to a non shared workbook.
Each workbook has a Main Tab, which totals data input, and represents data in colours, in different cells..Picture a warehouse, with shelves & racks. I am in the middle of designing a simple form...but not so simple..thats another story. I am concerned that there is a lot of potential for disater, especially with shared books. I have thought of the access route, but the staff need to see colours on the sheets. Any opinions on what the Best Practice may be to handle this scenario. My main forte has been formula, pivot tables & external data..this is a new challenge

Aug 7, 2006I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't good practice to format a whole column(s) b/c then you would have empty cells that were formatted. Is there a better way that you guys format your columns without selecting the whole column? I know you can do this in VBA, but I was just wondering if there was a way that I'm unaware of.
Second, is there a formula that can inserted into conditional formatting, that will check a named range against two other cell values. If that ranges date is > AB2 and <AC2 then it will bold that range? I'm trying to figure out how to do things without always relying on VBA if possible.
Copy Worksheet In Workbook With All Formulas On New Worksheet Referencing Previous Worksheet

Search Worksheet For Data In Multiple Textboxes On Userform - Display In Temp Worksheet
Dec 23, 2013I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".

Search Keyword In Worksheet / Copy And Paste Adjacent Cells To New Worksheet
Sep 24, 2012I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.
Conditionally Hiding / Unhiding Rows In One Worksheet By Referencing Cell In Different Worksheet
May 3, 2013coding a VBA macro for one of my workbooks, in which I need to be able to hide/unhide various rows in one worksheet depending on the value of a cell in a worksheet elsewhere in the workbook. The rows start off hidden by default.
As a simplified example:
Worksheet1 has a cell that has option "Set 1," and "Set 2." Worksheet2 has two sets of rows (say, 20:30 and 40:50) that need to be hidden/unhidden depending on the cell in Worksheet 1. These are hidden to start with!
So if Worksheet1's target cell says "Set 1", then on Worksheet2, rows 20:30 would stay hidden and rows 40:50 would be revealed, and then if the target cell says "Set 2," then on Worksheet 2, rows 40:50 would then be hidden, but rows 20:30 would then be revealed.
I was thinking of using something like this:
Rows("20:30,40:50").EntireRow.Hidden = True
If Target.Address="'Worksheet1'!A1" Then
If Target.Value = "Set 1" Then
Rows("40:50").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else
Rows("20:30").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
End If
I think this might work, but every time I try to run this I get various errors, like not referencing my target cell correctly.

Auto Copy Part Of Row In A Worksheet To Another Worksheet Based On Criteria
Dec 15, 2009I'm a novice Excel 2007 user and appreciate all the help I can get. I have a workbook with monthly worksheets in it. When a certain data Type is selected from a drop down menu in that monthly worksheet than I would like to have it automatically enter specific data (Name, Date, Eval, Type) copied to another worksheet (CC) in the same workbook. I have been manually entering the data so far. Another thing, some of the data will be entered into the Monthly worksheets and some will only be manually entered into the CC worksheet so it would need to accomodate both methods of data entry. Please let me know if I need to clarify. I have attached the workbood, too.

Jan 28, 2010I'm trying to create a macro to merge multiple rows into one cell and display in a new worksheet.
This seems really simple but I've tried to re-work some other examples I've found online but none seem to do exactly what I need. I'm also pretty new to VBA , so it's highly possible i've missed something.

Set Textbox Control Source To Hidden Worksheet NOT Active Worksheet?
May 6, 2014I have created an excel worksheet that will provide budgeting and estimating tools for my project managers. All data used to be manual entry and took a good while to complete. I am trying to automate the process with VBA.
I created a UserForm called InfoVerify1. On that form I have TextBox 1 - 10. When the UF opens, the boxes display project information from my worksheet called "Basis of Estimate", also known as Sheet26.
The TextBox1 ControlSource is set to "E4". When I run the macro with Sheet26 active, the proper information fills in. However, when I am on the Start page or any other worksheet and I run the macro, it tries to fill in the text boxes with E4, etc, from the active sheet. I tried changing the ControlSource to "Sheet26,E4" or any combo thereof with only error messages.
how to get it to refer to a cell on a particular worksheet and hold to that worksheet no matter which sheet I am on at the time I run the Userform?
Copying And Pasting Cells From A Worksheet Into A List Format In Another Worksheet
May 18, 2006I need help with a macro for copying and pasting of cells. I believe this should not be a problem for the Excel VBA experts, but for someone who can only record macro, I'm really at a loss.
Attached is a sample file, where sheet 'Source' is an example of the sheet from which data are to be copied. The other sheet, sheet 'Final' is an example of the final format that I need. The reason I'm doing this is I'm planning to upload my data into Access and so I need to convert them into a list format.
List of target columns in sheet 'Final' and source cells in sheet 'Source':
Column A: Biz ID - not sure if I really need this, by right it should be listed automatically once I paste the data
Column B: B2 of 'Source'
Column C: B2 of 'Source'
Column D: B1 of 'Source'
Column E: row 6, relevant column
column F: column K
column G: row 5, relevant column
column H: the specific amount
So basically I'm creating an entry for every amount in the table.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutofilter Another Worksheet Data Based On Cell Value In Another Worksheet?
Aug 13, 2014I have a 'Summary' worksheet which is shown as:
August
September
October
Example 1
1
4
5
The table, which works correctly, looks in another worksheet 'Report' for 'Example 1' within the date range of August. This uses COUNTIFS.
Ideally, what I'm wanting to do is have an auto-filter on each of the cells - 'Example 1', 'Example 2', so if a user wants to see what rows on the 'Report' sheet, falls into this criteria, it auto filters the other worksheet, and takes them too it.
The action would be - Click on the cell of 'Example 1', the macro auto-filters based on the cells value in column F of the 'Report' sheet, and takes the user there. The macro would have to take into account the date filter as well, which uses cells A1,B1 for August, and C1,D1, for September.

b) (This one would be nice but is not essential) Have each new invoice worksheet that is added (by copying) automatically numbered sequentially in a cell (say A2) and also re-named with this number.

Updating Contents Of One Worksheet Based On Criteria In Another Worksheet (2)
Mar 10, 2009OK, two files attached in the zipfile, pricelist-half.xls and pricelist-full.xls
The background is that i exported a file from our warehouse system so we could update prices and re-import it. That is the pricelist-half.xls
After our staff had spent a few days working on it, it came to light that (as the name suggests!) its only about half the products that should have been exported that are on the list.
Hence the second file, pricelist-full.xls which as its name suggests is the full
product list.
What I need to happen, to make this as painless as possible, is somehow for the items/rows that are on the full list, but not on the half list to be inserted to the half list but also have a yellow background for their rows so they stand out clearly.
