I have a workbook that I received from a vendor that when I click in a cell a comment appears. There is no line or comment indicator for each comment. So I went into the tools - options - views - comments section and chose no comments. The comments still appear and when I go to the tool bar - view - comments nothing appears. I checked for any VBA code and didn't see anything. I was able to get around this problem by copy/paste special into a new worksheet, but curiosity is killing this cat.
I'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.
Here is a picture example of what I mean, just randomly found on google: http://www.projectwoman.com/uploaded...ent-763577.jpg
Maybe an insignificant thing I want, but can the line from the comment connecting to the red indicator be removed? Added an example since my comments show up below the selected cell with VBA code.
In the example added a code is running to show the comments (pictures) when the cell is selected. This way you don't have to mouse-over to show the comment, you just use your arrow keys.. Is there a way to not show comments on mouse-over? I only want them to show while the cell is selected, using the VBA code. Because now you can show 2 comments while a cell is selected, and you put your cursor on another cell.
In the last thread Andy gave me this code to only show the comments when a cell in Column A is selected. It doesn't show them anymore when you put your cursor on a cell. But when 2 excel files are open, including the example, and you close the other one it asks the regular stuff; Do you wan't to save .. etc. It also askes that with the example added, and when you press cancel, the code doesn't work anymore and I have to re-open it. Or if, for some reason, you close the sheet, but still want to edit something, press cancel, the code doesn't work anymore. How can this be changed?
how to turn on the Comment Indicator through VBA? The code equivalent of setting Tools / Options / View and then selecting the Comment Indicator Only option.
Using Excel 2007 I duplicated a worksheet by right clicking the worksheet tab and selecting Move or copy... with the Create a copy option. Of the six comments on the original worksheet only one appears in the duplicate.
I have (several) worksheets that have protection enabled. I have unlocked all the cells that users need access to and locked all the column and row headers/labels. When I enabled protection on the sheets, the ability to add comments was taken away. Is there a way to add comments to an UNLOCKED cell in a PROTECTED worksheet?
I have an inventory sheet in which I am trying to accomplish two things:
1. Have comments pop-up when certain cells are selected that will explain to the user what kind of information he should enter. (So far, I have been able to make this work.) 2. When the user begins to enter information into the first of the aforementioned cells, a worksheet change event will automatically select the next cell for him, so that he will be immediately ready to enter information into it. That is, the worksheet will automatically "tab" over to the next relevant cell. (I'm having problems with this part.)
All in all, for each product on the inventory list, there are three cells that the user must enter information into.
Step 1: The ending inventory amount (the amount of product on hand). Step 2: The user's initials. Step 3: The time that the user physically counted the inventory.
(Then, when step three is done, the worksheet automatically tabs to STEP ONE ON THE NEXT ITEM. That is where I am failing miserably, although that is not the only place. . . . Keep reading.)
Here is my problem. I am not able to have my cake and eat it too. The comments are popping up beautifully, at the right time in the right way. However, when I enter the appropriate lines of code to make the worksheet change "tab" over the next cell, problems occur: the comments that provide instructions to the user do not stay visible. They flash for a split second, and then disappear. I am attaching a sample so you can see what I mean (and then I'm heading off to lunch with the boss, so it will be while before I can respond). The lines of code that I would like to have working are currently "commented out."
I have a website that I have been posting filtered worksheets of specific formats of items for interested viewers to view. The Looker can click on the Button and Open or Save a Copy of the Worksheet. I hide unused rows and columns to reduce size.
I filter my main worksheet to find the item type that I want to isolate - I copy the Result to another file - Run a Macro to Remove the information that I dont want to show. Hide Unused rows and Columns. Save as my File name and Upload to the Website.
BUT -- In my Excel Workbooks I have Macros - Some in the personal file. Some attached to Specific Files. When the Viewer clicks to see the file -- it offers the Macros ( Enable or Disable ). This Scares off many viewers and they Cancel.
When I delete the macros and save -- it deletes the Macros from MY computer as well.
How can I remove Macros from only the Sheet that I want to post for my website.
Here is the URL of one of the Current Buttons to a posted file if you care to view and see what I mean and am attempting to do.
We had an Excel worksheet that is used everyday suddenly pop up with protection. I have used protection before, but this one never had a password. We put in every known password we use, but none worked. I resigned to re-typing the worksheet, then, in between Friday night, and Saturday noon, when most of the office is out, a different Excel worksheet has the same problem. We are using Excel 97.
building a worksheet to list people, payrates and hours worked etc. the header needs to have fill in areas that change with the job so I entered them in the rows rather than in a proper header. what I want to do is get rid of gridlines in the first 6 rows but leave them intact on the rest of the document. I see templates that this was done somehow.
I'm in the middle of coding a macro to convert files. About 30 minutes ago, the VBA editor started doing something completely baffling. I was copying and pasting this code into the editor from Ozgrid - simple macro to delete blank rows.
Sub DeleteBlankRows1() 'Deletes the entire row within the selection if the ENTIRE row contains no data. 'We use Long in case they have over 32,767 rows selected. Dim i As Long 'We turn off calculation and screenupdating to speed up the macro. With Application .Calculation = xlCalculationManual.................
How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?
Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?
I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".
I have an excel program that reads a file and prints it to the work sheet, but I can't figure out why it puts quotation marks around the line of text. I would like to remove the quotation marks from column A and column D.
I need a macro that runs through the cells on a sheet and removes all carriage returns. The carriage returns appear as small squares amongst the text (they come from a CSV file).
I am a CAD person, trying to edit a large spreadsheet for reading into CAD.
I need to merge 2 worksheets into a 3rd. Then search and delete the blank rows. (There is only 3 columns in the document, but can be as many as 5,000 rows or more)
The Cad program does not like blank rows, so I have to delete them if users insert them, and there may be several in a row. (Users need only edit one of the worksheet, No. 2)
The 3rd worksheet must then be saved to a Tab-Delimited txt file in the same location on the network as the xls document.
I am able to select the worksheets and copy to a 3rd, but how to go to the end of the data, before merging the other data from the 1st worksheet into the third.
I have created a worksheet and password protected, I know the password but now want to send to someone and remove the password protection option instead of them having to use a password to open it.
I am looking to see if is possible to copy and paste a worksheet and then remove data( only values not Text) and also not removing formatting and formulas
I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String Dim intLoopCounter As Integer Dim intStringLength As Integer Dim intASCIIVal As Integer intStringLength = Len(InString) InString = LCase(InString) For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)) If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1) End If Next intLoopCounter End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"
I was wondering if there was a way to add comments (that you see in spreadsheets) on a userform in vb editor. So that when you run the form and the user moves the mouse over a textbox then it displays the comment.
I am sure this can be done - I found a similar thread but in a different context to what I need.
I have a user of a workbook who insists on putting irritating red cornered comments in cells, rather than using the handy (and rather large) comments field I put in, especially for her.
For each cell, instead using a comment, I need another way to show a large amount of principaly letter texts, without using hypervincules, and ofcourse comments.
By the way, the same text I enter or modify put in this "way", I need to modify in the MSWord document and viceversa.
I appreciate the linking do not open another app, because the large amount of them I need to work with.
I have a sub that works just fine, but I need to test it for blanks.
Sub AddToComment() Dim rCell As Range Dim cCom As Comment Sheets("Support Detail").Select With Range("e5") .ClearComments Set cCom = .AddComment End With Sheets("Sheet1").Select For Each rCell In Range("a4:a23") cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text Next rCell End Sub
I only have 1 line of test in the a4:a23 range - so I'm getting 19 spaces before the text in the comment. If the cells within a4:a23 are blank, how do I ignore them? I'm not sure how to interpret this code, so I'm sure it's probably easy:
