View 1 Replies View RelatedWith all the formulas working (or at least through testing so far they are), I am now in the make the worksheets fancy mode.
I want to have a message pop up when the leader of the meet changes. I would love it if it would blink for a few seconds to alert the individuals looking at the worksheet but then it would disapear so as not to be annoying.
For example:
In event 1, team a is first, and team b is second.
Event 2 finishes, and I post the results in the spreadsheet.
In event 2, team b takes over the lead and team a is now second Place.
I wold like a message to appear (for a few seconds) saying (and blinking something like "Team A, Just Took Over 1st Place!" and then goes away.
This code works fine on a normal userform But I declared the userform with "New" in my calling procedure
myForm As New form
How can I get it to work??
Or more interesting, why is it not working
Also what exactly is the advantage of using the keyword New
I have propertys set in the userform, but other than that..
Can someone tell me if the load function in this case is better or not
Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Sub cmd_click
Call blink
End Sub
Public Sub Blink()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 20
' set color
Form.cmd.BackColor = &HFFFFFF
DoEvents
Call Sleep(60)
Form.cmd.BackColor = &HFF& .....................
how do I make a highlighted cell blink on and off?

I have written the following code for blinking text.
But what I want is :
Suppose if I have a range of cells, in which I have text in red & green color.
Then whether it is possible to blink the text in red color only in a selected range ?
My Code :
Sub StartBlink()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("c3:c6").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.colorindex = 3

I have an excel sheet wherein I want to enter the following formula into cell G11 when aparticular Macro is run by the user. I am using the following command but it is showing some error.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some imported data that Excel does not recognize as date or time so I have to edit each cell pressing F2 and the enter to "convert" the value.
I have about 120.000 records and the macro takes long time to do the job.
I was wondering how I could automatically enter a value next in a sequence in a cell when an adjacent cell has data in it and continue doing so indefinitely (or until the 65536th row). I could do this with autofil, but The sequence starts in the middle of the worksheet (there is a title and document data in the top few rows). The layout is as follows:
Cell A17 has "Part 1" in it (and always will before the form gets filled out), and all cells in colum A beneath that will be blank. Column B is where the user enters a dimension. So, at the start, entering a value into cell B17 won't do anything. However, if they enter a value into cell B18, I would like cell A18 to automatically be filled with the next part number in the sequence (in this case, "Part 2" in cell A18). The user will never skip rows when they enter data so the sequence will always be +1 to the previous cell in the column.
I'm doing this so they can just print out the completed sheet and not have to edit out the empty "Part *" cells that have no corrosponding dimensions.
Is there a simple way to tailor autofill to do this or would I need a macro?
I'm having a hard time putting this into words, so I'll try to make it simple.
I have a list with cells b1 thru f1 empty.
If one or more of those cells becomes populated, I want today's date to show up in cell g1.
Yes, the user could enter the date manually, but apparently that's too difficult for some people.
I'm trying to write a macro that automatically italicize the a range of cells when you select a cell, and de-italicize it if you click it again. In this example, when select B12, the macro will automatically select B12:H12 and italize them. And if you select B12 again, it will automatically select B12:H12 and de-italize it.
This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MyAddress = ActiveCell.Row
If MyAddress > 11 And MyAddress < 159 Then
If Not Intersect(Columns(2), Target) Is Nothing Then
Intersect(Columns(2), Target).Resize(, 7).Select
End If
Select Case Target.Font.Italic
Case "True"
Target.Font.Italic = False
Case "False"
Target.Font.Italic = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
The code above does not work correctly.
As simple as this sounds, I can't seem to make this work. I am looking for code for the following:
I would like to enter the word "Empty" into a cell if the cell is blank. The
range can be variable. The only columns that contain an empty cell are
columns B or C which can have any number of rows.
I really know nothing about vba so here goes. I would like to enter data in a row with 4 cells of info. then hit enter and return to the first cell and move the row down. all four cells must have data entered. and all four must move down. i tried some code as below i found and i modified but it did not work as expected. this moved the row down when returning the cursor to A2. It also should not copy the data style of the top row.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
[Code].....
This formula must be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER. You will see { } brackets appear.

What I am after is a user form that pops up when I enter ‘Y’ in cells in Column ‘L’ which displays the contents of the cells in that row e.g. if I enter Y in cell L2 a user form would pop up displaying the contents of cells A2 to M2
The A2 to M2 column headers are:-
First Name

Address line 1
Address line 2
Address line 3
Address line 4
Address line 5

The user form can be Read only i.e. I do not need to edit the cells (although that would be good) as it will be used as a source document to input into another application, however, a ‘Print’ button to print the form would be beneficial. The only other button required would be a ‘Close Form’ option.
I have a userform with 5 text boxes and a command button.
I also have a sheet with a large amount of data on it, arranged into sections with headings (sheet1).
The user will enter the section heading he desires into textbox1, then other data into all of the other text boxes. Then click the command button.
I need a code that will search sheet1 for the heading they entered into textbox one, then find the next empty cell BELOW the heading (in the same row). It will then put whatever the user entered in textbox2 into that cell, textbox3 in the cell directly to the right of it and textbox4 to the right of that one, and so on.
I have a sheet where I have a column of cells where I manually enter in a date. the format is d-mmm-yy. Before the end of the year rolled around I was able to enter in say only 12-31 and it would automatically change that to 12-dec-09, now when I do that it spits out 12-dec-10. It's not a big deal to type in the extra -09 to get it right but was wondering if there was a quick/easy fix to get it to know that I don't want a date in the future?
All dates I type in will be in the recent past...never more than 3 months or so old and never later than today's date.
User selects a date from a pop up calendar. The date and user ID is entered into the active cell of the active sheet. This I have. I would like at the same time to have it enter the value of just the date (without the user ID) to cell A1 on the sheet labeled final.
Also, while I'm on the topic, I have another workbook where I would like to do the exact same thing with the exception that the user will only be allowed to select a date equal to today or up to 60 days from today?
is it possible to enter data on a spredsheet while a form is opened or must the from be closed first. I thought I was smart to have a form remain open so users could change parameters but at the same time allow them to enter data in uprotected cells.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to force users to enter data in 5 separate cells in a worksheet. I have tried editing code I have found here, but just can't get it to work.
It is in the second sheet of the workbook and the sheet is called Invoice - the cells I want to force entry into (and the message I need) are as follows.
J2 - You must enter the salesperson's name
J4 - You must enter the customers name
J5 - You must enter the customer's address
J6 - You must enter the customer's postcode
L2 - You must enter the Invoice number

View 7 Replies View RelatedI receive a flat text file every week which I would like to grab with excel and extract only the data I need and enter the data into separate cells and loop until I reach the end of the flat file. I got a subroutine written that allows me to open my text file and it will enter all the data however I need to know how to parse only the stuff I need and enter it into the right cells and loop until I reach the end of my text file. Here is what I have so far:
Sub testFSNew()
Dim fs As Object ' scripting.filesystemobject
Dim txtIn As Object ' scripting.textstream
Dim strFile As String 'File Name
Dim strLine As String 'Current line being read.
[code].....
Now so far this opens the text file and dumps all the data into an excel spreadsheet however when I say all I mean it dumps everything into the first cell and does not separate it, the following is an example of the text in the flat file. I will only put in the first 5 rows because their is 5000 rows in the real file.

Ok so the first problem is I don't need the first line it's a header line and if you will notice everyline of the file ends with either a 5 or a 4 but it is information about each employee, so the next line would end in a 5 and that would be the beginning of the next employee.
P.S. I noticed in the preview post that this message board truncated my flat file data, so keep in mind that each line is indeed 1 line ending in either 5 or a 4
I built a very basic refresh button that enters formulas into cells.
.Range("C12").Value = "=SUMIFS(Inventory!$R:$R,Inventory!$M:$M,'Frozen Dashboard'!$D$3,Inventory!$A:$A,
'Frozen Dashboard'!C$11,Inventory!$Q:$Q,'Frozen Dashboard'!$B12)"
Basically, I have around 50 of these individual cells that I am pasting the formula into.
Currently is taking 28-32 seconds to refresh these 50 cells.
Anyways to expedite these refreshes ?
I am also using the :
application.enableevents = false, and application.screenupdating = false
but still way to slow..
