I want to use the Camera facility to show a 13 column by 19 row section of a large report in another WorkBook. I have outlined the area I need copied .... clicked the Camera icon .....but when I enter the data in the receiving sheet I keep getting the message ...." The Picture is too large and will be truncated" Is there a maximum size that can be transferred
View 2 RepliesHow to use the Camera Icon Tool using a Macro?
I want to copy the First Row which is the Column heading of one Sheet to a different Sheet
Example : From Col A till Col G First Row is to be copied as an Image. Normally I do it using the Camera Icon, however when I tried recording a Macro for the same it did not work..
So how do I that if I provide the Start Column and End Column Alphabet as a Variable is that possible.. I want this Image to not remain Volatile which is the case using the Camera Tool..
So, how do i get the picture of only the first row or any row and store it is an Image in a different sheet as static picture so that even when the sheet is moved to a different location it does not make a difference to the Image.
I'm having this problem where I used the camera tool to take a shot of some range of cells. After taking here on the worksheet the image looks fine but when I print preview the same image seems to be bigger than the actual image.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Excel 2010, I used the camera tool to take a snapshot of a selction of cells. How do I save the snapshot only as a JPG or GIF file?
I know that there are programs outside of Excel that can take snapshots or print screens, but I need to accomplish it using the camera tool so the snapshot is the exact selection everytime. Is the excel snapshot temporarily saved somewhere on my computer where I can access it?
I am using the camera tool in excel to show a range of cells. Is it possible to change the range the camera tool looks at conditionally? It's possible to do it manually and I've seen this done using a camera object to refer to charts in single cells, but have been unable to figure out how to do it by range.

I'm making a dashboard and currently using a camera tool to show a sheet in a different workbook.
However the camera shot should show the sheet for the current month. (the workbook contains 12 sheets one for each month)
I was trying to reference a cell within the dashboard workbook in the formula bar to select the correct month.
[Code] .....
This is the workbook being referenced and
[Code] ....
This is what I have to try select the sheet with the right month. W2 contains whatever month it currently is.
I get that this formula is wrong because I'm referencing a sheet/cell in the dashboard workbook right after calling the tracking workbook, I just don't know how to write it correctly.
The title in the attached chart is a camera shot transferred from another excel 2007 worksheet in the same workbook.
I'd like to remove the border line, I've tried right clicking... then format picture ...no dialogue box comes up. I've scrolled through all the commands in the ribbon + non ribbon commands and can't find anything that seems appropriate that's not greyed out ....

I am a complete newbie with the camera tool. Is there any way to make the camera tool dynamic so that the cells the tool is referencing can change upon the click of a button or some other form of switch? I am creating my first dashboard and this is the last step for my report to be completely dynamic.

Never mind, I apologize i just figured this one out...
Create a user defined formulaIn the UDF Create an if statementThe if statement's condition is the logistics in the shift mechanismThe value if true is the first group of cells you want in the snap shotThe value if false is the second group of cells you want in the snap shot, The range you want to toggle betweenRename the cell reference of any snap shot you have taken with the UDF name. In my example my UDF is "Dude" so when you select the camera tool it shows =Dude as the cell referenceReference a scroll bar to the conditional cell you selected in the if statement or choose statement. This is the shift mechanism
If you want to toggle between more than 2 sets of data use =Choose instead of =if
I have a lot of data that I need to have organized out but as far as I can tell an IF statement is the only thing that could work. I work at a casino and there are about 6,000 games that I need to be able to sort through. The games are classified by sections A - Q. Each section contains anywhere from 30 - 50 banks, and each bank contains anywhere from 4 - 20 games. This is what I am trying to accomplish.
Have a drop down that lists zones A - Q. If the user chooses A, for the next column to populate with a drop down of all of the banks in A. Then for the user to choose the bank they want and then have the next colum populate a drop down with the games in A>bank1. So basically...
Zone>Bank>Machine
then once you choose the machine, for the columns to the right to auto populate the information on that game such as themes ect.
Zone>Bank>Machine>Information on that machine
I have another sheet that contains the inventory of all of the games that I am using as my "database". I am able to get this working great with IF statements, but I obviously need to be able to use more than 8. Here is my current code...
=IF(A164="A",ABankList,IF(A164="B",BBankList,IF(A164="C",CBankList,IF(A164="D",DBankList,IF(A164="E" ,EBankList,IF(A164="F",FBankList,IF(A164="G",GBankList,IF(A164="H",HBankList))))))))

I used ceiling and floor for this but it was futile.
I was hoping to round off a no. according to the limitations set,
For example:
Sample Entries Preferred Rounded-off nos.
Cell A1 Cell B1
.40 .40
.39 .40
.38 .40
.37 .35
.36 .35
.35 .35
.34 .35
.33 .35
.32 .30
.31 .30
.30 .30
When using ceiling and floor formulas there was an error prompt telling me that there are too many arguments.
I have a spreadsheet with a drop down box with 30 names in it. On the other worksheets of this file I have budget figures.
What I need is a correct formula so that when I select a name from the drop down box it will grab the figure from a cell in another sheet and place it into the sheet where the drop down box is.
Is it possible to use a formula which grabs more than one cell?
I have been using this formula below:
=IF(B5=1,NNO!C8,IF(B5=2,NSO!C8,IF(B5=3,NWE!C8,IF(B5=4,NCN!C8,IF(B5=5,NCS!C8,IF(B5=6,NHO!C8))))))
It works for one cell at a time- but only allows 7 variables at a time and I have 30.
Which means I would need 4 or 5 drop down boxes in stead of one.
Please see the attached GIF.
I am trying to take information from columns J ("Family Size") and L ("Annual Income"), and figure out how many units should be assigned to columns N ("Very Low Income Units") and O ("Low Income Units").
Essentially, this is what I want to do:
If J2 = 1 and N< 22850, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
If J2 = 2 and N< 26100, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
If J2 = 3 and N< 29400, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
And so on through "8."
I looked at the Nested IF Limitation suggestions on the FAQs . . . it didn't seem like CHOOSE or VLOOKUP would get me where I need to go. Unless VLOOKUP is somehow merged with IF. Does anyone know the easiest way to get this done?

Description:The chart shown in the file is a picture using the Camera Tool. The real chart is in the worksheet "Chts". When using the dropdown & radio button, the chart is supposed to change accordingly.
Problem 1:The picture from the camera tool seem to be blurry. The lines also seem thicker. Any rectifications for this?
Problem 2:If I save this file as "xlsx", the chart will not change dynamically when the dropdown is changed.

Excel 2010 and the camera function.
I have been using it to take a picture of a graph, pasting to an alternative sheet within the same workbook, and renaming the picture by a defined name. S by selecting the names from a drop down list the picture will select various different sized graphs defined within my drop down.
What I am experiencing is when I initially do this the pic works great and resizes automatically with each selection, however the next day some of the pictures resize and some do not.
Is this a glitch within excel or am I missing a setting which will resolve this?

i have tried to create a userform thru which data is to be entered. so that the data will be printed on a worksheet. here there are few text boxes, in which the number of digits should be equal to 14. after filling the userform when i click the print button if it is less than or more than 14 a pop up msgbox should be displayed with OK button and the cursor should go back to that particular text box. i have written the following code, but it has a problem. even if the total no of digits are 14 the msgbox is displayed.
say the text box name is Roll no
If txtRollNo.MaxLength 14 Then
MsgBox "Roll No should be of 14 digits", vbInformation + vbOKOnly

I had a happy macro that copy and pasted sheets in an output folder for all excel files from a target file that included the desired changes. it worked fine. then i realized that when pasting a sheet, the text is limited to 250 characters, so an important portion of my sheet (some instructions in various cells) was not coming over. So i created the following which will copy the columns, but some of the row formatting is different and doesn't line up. my questions:
-is there a better way around this text limitation?
-if not, is there a way to copy the row formats for this section and include in my macro?
-is there a way to copy the cells (all or a range) themselves while using "ThisWorkbook", thereby including all the appropriate formating? it seems to not like to do that.

I have recently come across a VBA macro, which reads from a text box within an excel input sheet, copy the text content, and send it via email. However, when the text content started to go beyond a certain number of characters, the text that comes out of the email, got truncated. I presumed this is something to do with the limitation to the string variables where the string " messagebody$ " which is used to read the text can only take up a certain bytes.
I was looking for VBA help, and somehow, it mentioned something called a variable-length string. Would that be a solution to my problem, or how is that used ?
Sheets("main").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 1").Select
messagebody = Selection.Characters.Text
....
email.Body = messagebody
I have a workbook with two worksheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. Sheet2 contains a table of values that need to be input into a cell on Sheet1, pending the results of comparing two other cells on Sheet1. I have 8 possible variations resulting from that comparison and I cannot make this work as the IF statement limits you to 7 deep.
Example:
Sheet1
A1 (text string value) = LOWER
B1 (text string value) = L1
C1 (currency with no decimals) = Sheet2!Somecell (decision of which cell to use depends on combination of A1 and B1)
A1 can be either the string "LOWER" or "MIDDLE". B1 can be the strings "L1", "L2", "L3", or "L4". The strings in B1 are not cell references, but simple text. This leads to four variations for a row that has "LOWER" in it's A column, and the same for "MIDDLE" - totaling 8 possible combinations.
Depending on the combination, I need to input a number from Sheet2 and that number is different for each unique combination of the eight possibilities. There is no mathematical calculation taking place on Sheet2 - just an "if x and y then z" decision on Sheet1. I will use the value of Sheet1!C1 in other math functions on Sheet1.
how do i set the macro to read a range without limitation?
currently i have a recording macro that only reads to P126 - if i end there data in C127:N127 I would like the macro to recognized that there is new data and update to P127 with the new calculation....

I am trying to extract the data in a spreadsheet to a bunch of files, one file per cell. The cells I need have very long text strings in them, actually whole HTML files.
Using this
Dim HTML As String
HTML = Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).text
I can only read 1024 bytes - not nearly enough. Is there something else I can do to read the cell into a string variable?
I often end up in a scenario where I want to be able to move text from one column into another using a formula, which involves pasting a formula down a filtered range... E.g. Column A contains both ID numbers & dates, I want to move ID numbers into Column B, so I apply a filter to all ID numbers using a formula "=A1" and paste it down the filtered range.
It becomes an issue when there is greater than 50 - 60 thousand rows - excel throws an error "selection range is too complex" and disregards the filtered range.
Only thing I can think of would be a VBA script to automate pasting a formula in blocks of 50,000 rows.
I have a database that needs breaking down in order to fulfill a request.
I've been trying to create a macro to copy one row to a new workbook (starting from row 3), file name save as a value of the cell (C1), and move onto the next row. However, my code appears to only loop through 26 entries and then stops.

Dim row As Long
Dim refname
row = 3

Excel 2007-2010. I'm using match(string, range,0) but there must be a limitation on the length of the string since I know the string is in the range but it returns #value as if it is not found. Is there a VBA solution to get around this without having to loop/cycle through the entire range?
