I suddenly can not edit in a cell by double-clicking on it. I can only edit in the fx bar on top. Other sheets in the workbook still work normally. What causes this, how can I fix it and how can I make sure it doesn't
View 5 Repliesi've been programming a bit in excel and quite new to the whole thing but managing nonetheless... however, after having built a couple of macros in excel, i can now no longer delete all the worksheets listed at the bottom of the workbook.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using a Macro that was written in an Excel spreadsheet and it's been working fine. For some reason, the Macro does not work anymore.
The Macro is written in Visual Basic and it is launched with button.
What is the first step I should take to debug this?
I think it's something obvious I'm missing.
A couple years ago i made a giant spreadsheet and had 2 custom toolbars to run macros from to manipulate the sheet.
This year i re-did the sheet, meaning all my old data was replaced (it's a giant schedule basically).
However, the Macros in the custom toolbars stayed exactly the same and performed the same function and are directed to the exact same cells, rows, columns, etc..
But now when i hit the buttons on the custom toolbars to run my macros, i get the following message... all the time...

A document with the name "NHLsheet.xls" is already open. You cannot open two documents
with the same name, even if the documents are in different folders.
To open the second document, either close the document that's currently open, or rename one of the documents.

Trouble is, i have only 1 document open!
There's something in the macros that thinks i'm trying to open a new document but i'm clueless as to where or why.. they are very simple macros
that do not require the opening of any new workbooks..
All they do is point to another sheet within my open workbook, "NHLsheet", copy a particular row from that sheet, and paste it to a specific spot onto another sheet within my workbook, "NHLsheet".
Here is a sample:
At work we use a connection to a SharePoint List within Excel to refresh the data in the files.
When excel is refreshed I get this error (this happens for all users in the team and multiple workbooks)

The weird thing is I can export the SharePoint list to an excel file and it is fine but as soon as i go to refresh it (Data>Refresh All) it produces the above error.
Learn about the "copy only visible cells" when I've filtered down a filter. Now Excel copies that way by default everytime I copy multiple rows when I've filtered. But NOW I want to copy everything that is hidden between the filter as well, i.e. how it did it before.
How can I tell Excel to do that?
Microsoft Excel is no longer displayed at the top of the screen, and I can't see my worksheet tabs at the bottom of the screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI attached 2 examples. The first one is before the screen flickering fix I got from Andy Pope. The second is when I added the fix. When you open Example List 1 and you enter 0 at E180, the screen will flicker, but it will change (red) Watching to (green) Planning to Watch in G180.
When you open Example List 2 and you enter 0 at E180, the screen doesn't flicker anymore. The status Watching in G180 still changes to Planning to Watch, but it stays red while it has to become green. How can I have the color changes and no screen flickering? Marco:
i have an excel sheet that has a cell with a formula in it. This cell has been locked by the previous user.
I am unable to click on it and it because it is showing a #NAME? error, i need to edit it somehow. Is there some way i can edit it?
I've got this small (?) problem here. In a range of about 150 rows and 30 colums, I have to edit the cell formula, i.e. add something to the existing formula. For instance, in all the cells in column C I need to add " + D9" to the existing formula, in all the cells of column D I have to add " + E9". Is there a way to do this in VBA ? I would already happy to do it column by column, but I'm really reluctant to edit 4500 cells manually.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to edit the cell or Specific Range when it is in autofilter mode. Here is the example i want to filter as long as the first column criteria is 1
Before filter
1 string 1
2 string 2
1 string 1-1
3 string 3
after filtered with criteria = 1
1 string 1
1 string 1-1
now i want to edit both "string 1" and "string 1-1" to "abcd". How am i going to get the the autofilter to return me a range for me to change the cells value.
I have a worksheet with about a dozen cell comments in one column. I am able to add and edit cell comments to other cells throughout the worksheete, but I can not edit any of the existing comments. I've tried all of the usual ways to edit the comment (Shift/F2, Insert-Edit Comment, etc.), but nothing opens the comment in edit mode.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a work sheet with many Tab sheets, about 20.
I have to edit some lines and cells in all of them. The same line and cell with the same information Is it any way to change the cell/line in all sheets at once?
so i dont have to do the same operation 20 times.
I have a macro that locks the cell (cell rangeis given) after entering data into cell & thereafter if we have tochange the value of cell it asks for password. It works well.
I want somechanges in this macro - currently if I move cursor on locked cell then alsoit prompt for password & i want if i edit that cell by double click or F2then only he ask for password.
I am using a lot of double click routines in my sheet. In order for the sheet to be more user friendly I have used the comments of cells to tell the user what to do. For instance "Double click to choose type" or some such. Everything works great except that after the user selects what they want from the userform and it hides and the focus comes back to the sheet, the comment is in edit mode. While this is not horrible it is not as nice as I would like. I have tried to have my code send the active cell to another cell and then back, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the comments from going into edit mode?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm positive that this is a dumb question that's been answered elsewhere, so pardon my n00bness -- this is a one-time project for a non-programmer.
My manager needs to edit values in a spreadsheet. This person is non-technical and put off by spreadsheets, so I want to create a custom view of the data to show only the editable data (with pretty colors and fonts, etc.)
I have a source worksheet and a display worksheet. I need the display worksheet to show the values in the source worksheet, and I need changes in the display sheet to change the referenced data in the source sheet. For example, if cell Source:A1 = "thingamabob", then cell Display:A1 = "thingamabob". If user changes cell Display:A1 to "hoodgie", then cell Source:A1 changes to "hoodgie".
Essentially, the user has to be able to edit the source cell via the display cell.
Is that possible?
Again, please excuse my ignorance -- for all I know, this may be an automated function in Excel... but I've been trying to figure it out for two hours and so I thought I'd ask you nice people.
How to edit a formula in a cell using vba code.
For example, the cell A1 in sheet "sheet1" contains formula "=sum(Sheet2!B1+Sheet3!B1)" and I would like to use VBA to edit/change it to "=sum(Sheet2!B1+Sheet3!B1+Sheet4!B1+Sheet5!B1)" and so on
I have Form Button in Excel Sheet which Calculates by reading other excel sheet. Now the problem is when user enters data in a Cell by double Clicking on it and after entering data if he directly clicks on a button then Macro that needs to be invoked is NOT executed. The only way is that he needs to press EnterKey OR Click on any other Cell and then click on the button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have users who don't press Enter (or move to a new cell) after entering text. They then try to click a form button - and of course - the macro does not run.
Is there an xl/vba solution to force them out of edit mode before clicking the button?
I need to have users be able to modify notes to various pre-set comments on a protected sheet, however I do not want to have them be able to move the comment box (shape)...
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn an Excel worksheet all command buttons are disabled while a cell is in edit mode or while the cursor is active in the formula bar. Is there a way in VBA to save the cell's contents and execute a command button if clicked while a cell is in edit mode?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to query a column and find the cells that have been incorrectly coded. For example the coding standard is #<reference number>/. Sometimes people forget the "/". It is not as easy as using search and replace because the string may have more contents than the above.
For example it may show: ATM/45678/#789876 dt. 1-2-14/ or it something like CHQ/44384/#78987600.
There are many permutations. So I need to find the cells that don't have a "/" following the #<reference number>, then allow a user to enter the slash. At this stage, I don't need code to find cells containing errors, I think I can figure that out. I do need to know how to allow the user to edit the cell as part of the macro. Once the user corrects the error, the macro should then continue. Is this possible?
I have an event handler that runs a procedure when a user double clicks a cell. This procedure modifies the contents of this cell and other cells. I want the user to be able to select the cell so they can double click it, but I don't want them to be able to single click it and modify it by hand (accidentally or not). Is there a way to lock/unlock the contents of the cell without locking the cell itself?

Juan Jose De La Cruz died single.
I need a formula that will extract the "died single" and put it in the adjacent cell.
his is of Jaafarian proportions. This is in relation to an earlier post on dragging and dropping. That is all worked out thanks to help from board members. For the sake of your own curiosity, this project will tile worksheet windows (actually specific ranges from other worksheets and other workbooks), borderless, within a single userform and allow dragging and dropping between ranges that reside in different workbooks. That is all worked out as well. The only roadblock I am running into right now is that I cannot edit directly in the cell when the worksheet is displayed in the userform. Probably has something to do with placing a worksheet in a userform to begin with.
CTRL-R to show the form or run maco, "ShowForm". If you double click a cell and attempt to go into edit mode, it will appear to be locked up. It's not, just hit enter to escape the cell. The problem is the userform is a child window of the application. Hence, focus can pass to the parent window or another child (the formula bar in particular) which is exactly the behaviour expected. How do I get around this?
I'm trying to create a macro which will edit the content of a cell and update. I'm just using the "Record New Macro" option in tools.
It doesn't seem to perform the F2 edit function within the macro.
I'm sure this has been discussed previously, but I can't get the search function to work for me.
I need to be able to copy a formula from a row that is 180 rows before the current cell.
I then need to edit the formula so that the rows all start at 6. then i need to change the column references.
The formula that I am editing looks like this after it has been copied from before:
=IF('Entry Form Portrait'!$d870="m",IF('Entry Form Portrait'!$n870="a",'Entry Form Portrait'!$a870,""),"")
So I need d870 to be changed to d6, the n870 to be changed to o6 (current column +1), the a870 to be changed to a6.
Then this resultant formula to be copied to the next column and a6 changed to b6, then copied to next column again and b6 changed to f6.
Then all 3 columns to be copied (or autofilled) down 105 rows.
I tried to do it by recording the macro, however it only works for the first time that i use it, and then just keeps repeating in the same place. I need it to use the cell i have selected as the starting point.
I want to return a true or false result that I can use in a formula to indicate whether "Edit directly in cell" has been "set". The VBA code is
Application.EditDirectlyInCell = True
When a user clicks a cell in Column A, VBA will enter the date in the cell (in the form MMDDYY) and will position the insertion pointer at the end of the date. The user can then enter a four digit number following the MMDDYY. In this worksheet, Column A holds a transaction number, which is always in the form MMDDYYXXXX. I am trying to save the user the trouble of entering the MMDDYY, since it will always be today's date.
