I work for a house building company and we use excel to work out quantities of building materials needed for each job. we use 2 different brick companies depending on which style of brick clients select, but each company have different pack sizes. i have managed to insert 2 option boxes into our workbook, one for each company, but now dont know how to make them apply different pack sizes to our formulas.
I work in the science field and I'm trying to record an observation with some codes within a template. I have 5 different codes (A-E) to choose from and want to display the code that the person has chosen for each of the 6 compounds they are working with.
I started creating these command radio buttons with some code to display the results in part particular cell, but I would need to do this 30 times linking each group together to get what I want. I know there's an easier way to do this but ....
I have created a calculator that you enter multiple data into. It gives me averages and standard deviations and such. With these results I have two different limits depending on the custumer that these results could ask for. What I was wondering is as follows: Is it possible to add two optionbuttons and then apply individual conditional formates to the buttons? So if I clicked button #1 it would pull a specified conditional format and if I clicked button #2 it would pull a different one. I have attached what I am working on so you can have a visual.
I am trying to make a basic worksheet that will have radio buttons. I have searched around for about 2 hours and can not find any documentation on how exactly to create a buttons and make it do what I want. I have also tried F1 in Excel but that hasn't helped any either. I did stumble uppon a file called "Options.xls" when searching this forum but it does not explain how the buttons were made. The only thing i can figure out how to do is basically insert a button onto the document, and rename the label of the button that's about it. I basically want to create a group of (3) or so buttons. If button A is picked, cell D1 will display "x". If button B is picked, cell D1 will display "y", and so on. Is there a link to an example out there that shows how to create and use buttons?
I am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
I have been using Excel for some time now but just started working back with the Macros! Finally figured out that you had to turn on the Designer tab to get to some of the functionality of the macros. I haven’t been able to find ANYTHING ANYWHERE to tell me how to create buttons or Icons in the 07 Excel!
adding custom 16 x 16 buttons to toolbars, which weren't preset images or using the built in deisgner.
Was hoping there may be an add-in giving more variety of buttons or a way to import set images. Very frustrating as there are many microsoft 16x16 bmps / icons that would be ideal but the choice is extremely limited.
I can't write macros, so have to create them by actually recording the process. I did that just now and then copied it into the Command button. When I run it from Tools>Macros, it works, but when I run it using the Command button it fails.
I'm trying to copy and paste values current MTD figures (P18:P39) to previous MTD area (W18:W39), but the command button fails at this selection. Cells 28-35 are blank, but I don't think this makes any difference, as I've tried the command button with those cells zeroed out.
This is what I recorded initially; this works from Tools>Macros
Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded 04/01/2008 by Lucertola ' ' Sheets("Reconciliation").Select Range("P18:P39").Select Selection.Copy Range("W18").Select.....................
I want to put navigation buttons on each of the twelve spreadsheets, in one workbook, to run one macro. Is it possible to do this or do I need to follow the route of creating a separate macro for each (forms) button?
The route I have begun is to create this simple navigation macro is as follows.
Sub Goto200and100() ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 2").Select Range("Q1400").Select End Sub Sub Goto100and50() ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 91").Select Range("Q1400").Select End Sub
Is there a way to add a reference to a button, which could show the user what the button does before he clicks on it. I'm thinking something similar to moving the mouse to a program in the Windows taskbar.
Is it possible to change the color of buttons or command buttons? There does not seem to be any place that allows this under properties for buttons, although there does for command bars. However, I've tried recording a macro as I change the color, but nothing get's recorded so I'm not sure what the syntax would be.
I have a spreadsheet with several buttons and I'd like them to change colors as they are pressed so it's possible to see what you've already done. And then, as soon as any other cell on the sheet is changed, the buttons reset color.
I need to have my macro select all buttons in the current row (including the button I clicked on and delete them. There are many rows with buttons. Each row needs to have this button. So I need it to be row specific.
I know that this is how to select the row that the button is in:
But I do not know how to select the buttons in that row. It needs to be included in this:
VB: Sub move() Dim shname As String, sh1 As Worksheet, lc As Long, rw As Long Set sh1 = ActiveSheet lc = sh1.Cells.Find("*", , , , 2, 2).Column rw = sh1.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Row
[Code] .....
After many attempts and alot of research, I have some more code for this problem: This deletes all buttons in the sheet:
VB: Sub DeleteShapes() Dim shp As Shape Dim myVar As Shapes ActiveSheet.Activate
[Code] .....
And this deletes the current button only:
VB: Sub pressbuttons() With ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller) .Delete End With End Sub
Any way to either limit the first code to just a particular row, or expand the second one to the entire row.
I have an excel spread sheet set up with a button I created (a colored rectangle with text) that has been asigned a macro. When I print this spread sheet I do not want the 'button' to print on the page.
I'm using the With ActiveSheet.MailEnvelope command in vb to send an email and it works fine, but the range I am selecting includes macro buttons on the sheet.
It is possible to prevent macro buttons from been printed by selecting Format Control > Properties on the button and unticking Print Object (off by default anyway).
Is there any equivalent way of preventing macro buttons from appearing in emails when a range is emailed rather than printed.
I have several Activex buttons in sheet "Options" and I would like to automatically assign each button to the same macro "Run_Options", in order to execute the macro "Run_Options" when I do click over any button.
I have a couple of combo boxes with lists to generate data for a dynamic chart. Elsewhere on the page I have hyperlinks to other tabs in the form of round button shapes.
When you select from the combo box, the selected text shows in the box highlighted, which is fine, but whilst highlighted, no hyperlinks work. You have to click a random cell on the sheet, and then click the hyperlinks again. Something thats fine for me, but not for my users as there's a lot of them and they won't realise. they will just report it broken.
I created two radio buttons on a spreadsheet where a user can select one button for Yes and the other for No. When I right click these buttons, I notice the names (shown on the left hand side of the formula bar) are:
I'd like to create a macro that automatically selects the Yes or No button depending on a cell value in another tab. If the cell value is 1, the macro should select Yes. If the value is 0 the macro should select No.
I tried running the macro below:
Sub testSelectYesOrNo() If Not IsEmpty(Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value) Then Select Case Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value Case Is = 1 Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True Case Is = 0 Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton3 = True End Select End If End Sub
But when this runs I get a "Run-time error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method"
When I click debug, the text "Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True" was highlighted.
I have two macro buttons on a page that hide and unhide columns. When I got to protect the sheet .. the buttons no longer work and ask me to DEBUG. Is there a way to have macro buttons performing tasks AND have the sheet still protected?
In the protect sheet window .. am I have ticked is
I have a workbook which employs 4 different userforms. Navigating thru the workbook, the user ends up at a sheet with 5 macro buttons, allowing them to choose from several different functions. I added these to the worksheet using the "forms" toolbar.
My question is this: Is there anyway to change the color of these buttons, as I can with the userform buttons? Under "format control" I can change size, font, even color of font, but I can't change the background color of the button itself. Is it possible to identify those particular buttons thru VBA and adjust it's format?
I have a spreadsheet containing a group of Macro Buttons, each button has been assigned a macro that enters specific text in the selected cell when the button pressed.
But as you scroll down the sheet, the group of buttons is left above. Is there a way to make the buttons scroll down (or up) along with the spreadsheet ?
Is it possible to use a macro to create a new worksheet with a button on it, that has a macro attached to it, that i can send out to people? I've looked at the Template example, but i'm not sure this will work when emailed as i'm unsure whether the template will be sent to them.
Is it possible to edit and/or add extra symbols for the macro buttons? I mean to extended what the pallet offers Cutomsie Ribbon > Rename (As it is used to be before ribbon age with the ultra primitive built in symbol editor)
I'm very new to Excel and definately to macros/vba. I've already received a tremendous amount of help with this file but I'm am really struggling here and getting very frustrated! I've got a pretty good handle on the excel part but the macros/vba is another story. Here is what i'm attempting to do: I've created a form "frmMacroButtons" which has 8 buttons. When the workbook is opened I want this form/window to launch. I want the user to be able to select any of the buttons but also be able to just click into the worksheet manually if wanted but have the window stay open to go back to use the buttons. Each of the buttons I've typed a description of what I want each of the buttons to do in the code view.
I've searched through the forums for this information, and I have found a couple of similar issues that have been solved, but copy+pasting the code into my form has not had favorable results.
Basically, here is what I am after:
I have a sheet that already has 4 buttons active, with a handful of other subs that they are calling. I am wanting to be able to add new buttons and have them call a universal macro that will forward them to my existing subs. However, I'm wanting a variable to be set based on the Caption of the button that was clicked. For example:
I have a workbook created in Excel2003 as an xls with a nuumber of buttons to call macros. I converted it to an xlsm in Excel2007 and now get the message "((#Ref.xls could not be found..." whenever I click any of the macro buttons. Event code in the individual worksheets works fine.
I'd like to write a macro to create buttons with the caption "Fix" in over 300 cells. Furthermore, I would like each button, when pressed to run a macro that would copy and paste the values (paste special) of the entire row in which the button is situated as well as copy and "paste special" the values in the fixed cells $J$2, $K$2,$L$2, and $M$2. I've attached a file to clarify what I'm sure is an extremely convaluted statement of my problem.
