how to filter rows of data, in ascending or descending order, whilst still retaining formatting (in my case cell borders) and conditional formatting?
At present, when I filter rows in ascending / descending order, the cell formatting & conditional formatting stays in it's original position, rather than moving with the cell. I can't find a way to resolve this.
I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.
I am getting a debugging error when I try to highlight the first row of a column that is sorted. the error occurs on the "if .autofiltermode then" line. the code does highlighting like I want but is giving me a run time error.

I am trying to reference a cell in sheet All Employees in sheet Brock. This is an employee training database.
Currently there is no data in the cell I want to reference (B9).
When I use the formula ='all employees'!b9 the cell in the brock sheet shows "january 00 00" even when the referenced cell is empty. This problem is eliminated if I formate the Brock cell to General. It then displays a zero.
However, the cell in the All Employees Sheet is going to be a date. If I format the Brock cell to general, when I enter a date in All Employees, it gives a large number, not a date. This problem is eliminated by changing the formating of the Brock cell to Date.
What I would like to do is be able to type the date in the All Employees sheet and have it magically transfer to the Brock sheet without any additional work. I would like the brock sheet to be printable, and with January 00 00 written all over it, not only is it messy but its incorrect.
I have seen spreadsheet where the user has made the outline of the cell border non-visible. This seems like a fairly simple task, but I can't seem to find out how you format this type of border.

I am trying have the macro go from H7:H300 and if the value in the cell is "Grand" the I need it to border the top, right, and bottom. Not the left side and then keep going until all cells are checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with DDE formulas in the cells. When the contents of any cell changes I want to DRAW A BORDER (NOT CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR !!) AROUND THE CELL .. When another cell's value is updated I want to REMOVE the border which was around the"OLD" cell and now place a border around the most recently changed cell, etc.
Only the newest active cell should have a border around it !!!
How can I change its colour? Every time I try to it reverts to the automatic black. I do not want to change the automatic colour (not that I know how to) because black suits me for most of the cells; but there are some where I want a blue border.
This problem arose in conditional formatting but applies to ordinary formatting too. It occurs in 2007 and 2003.
I have an excel sheet that is pulling data from other sheet based on some cretaria...i want a macro that when ran on this excel fixes column width , makes cell border as "dotted" and outline the area with Thick Outline.
This is what a macro code should do ; Hope this makes sense...thanks.
1. Finds numeric values in rows falling in colum B,C,D,E , than border those cells as dotted (i.e. right click on cell - format column - Border - Style - 3rs on top left row).
2. After filling cell border style as mentioned above , macro should do a THICK BOX BORDER around a cells falling above dotted cells.. i.e. one big sqaure outlined contaiing dotted cells with numeric values.
3. Trick part , my sheet is divided into 2 parts , INTERNAL and EXTERNAL. So i have writen "INTERNAL" in A1 cell and EXTERNAL in 'A' row in last row after INTERNAL lines. So the THICK BOX BORDER as requested in pt 2 shud be separted ones for INTERNAL and sep from EXTERNAL.

These are single cells running downwards only. I want to format this 6 cells into 1 box using (outside borders) formating. I need to repeat this for every 6 cells into 1box...and continue on and on. Im doing this process manually...But i got like 100,000 cells...
Since I did not know how to do this I used the record macro cheating option.

I have a sheet which automatically adds entrys to the sheet depending on what team they are on, all i really want to do is colour and border to the last row only, i know this should be able to get done in conditional formationing some how but im unsure.
I have got it in some of the cells with text in, but the ones with numbers in remain the same, if i can remember i used con formating and done, if the cell value is greater than <> then my formating, but numbers remain the same.
Why is the VBA for putting a simple border around a cell so convoluted. For example cell A2:
Code:
Sub CellBorder()
Range("A2").Select
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
[Code] ........
So many lines to put a simple - single line border (square) around a cell.
Is there any way to change the border color of a cell by running a subroutine? Here is my example:
Col 1
Col 2

I have an existing table with data that is updated daily ... more rows are added. Currently, the cell border is black. I would like to run a macro such that the column header is shaded grey and the borders turn into a shade of gray. I am interested in the 35% grey.
I want to add borders to a range depending on the value in the "a" column. Normally I want a left border in cell "a", a right border in cell "h" and bottom border in cells "a" to "h". However if the value in cell "a" is the same as the cell below I do not want the bottom border.
Cell "a" contains the names of customers using our facilities each day. Some customers use several facilities on the same day. I want the borders to encompass all facilities used by each customer per day e.g. range "a1:h8" might need bottom borders on all rows, because they are single customers using only one facility that day but ranges "a9:h11" would require bottom borders only on row 11, because that customer is using three of our facilities that day.
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("a:h").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
change the Range to "a:h"
and:-
With .Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With .Borders(xlEdgeRight)..........
I have a dynamic table (rows regularly added or deleted) that is generated automatically based on choices made by the user in another worksheet. I need a function that will examine all the cells in one column, and when it finds a difference between two cell entries, it will change the border between these two entries to dark (medium weight), and then extend this border across the table. The end result should be that wherever the cell contents differ within a column, the table is divided by a darker border across the entire row.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to double-click a cell to edit the contents, and I am off a few pixels, it treats the double-click as a double-click on the cell border, not the cell contents, and the focus jumps to another cell in the direction of the border instead of going into edit mode. The effect is as if I had pressed Ctrl and the arrow in the direction of the border I clicked on.
The only way I've found to disable this is to turn off the option "Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop", but unchecking that also disables actually useful things, like dragging the corner of a formula call to copy it down, etc.
Is there a good way to disable this cell jumping when I accidentally double-click a cell border?

I have a cell the has the date and time in this format

I have 3 columns Z, AA, AB. The heading for Z1 is “A”, AA1 is “B” and AB1 is “C”
In column Z2:Z2000, there is a mix of A, B’s and C’s. I want A to stay in Z1 column, B’s to goto AA1 and C’s to goto AB1, also I want this added to a macro that I previously created, so everything happens with one push of a button
Now for save, not sure if this is possible or not, if I can have this added to the macro as well that would be great. When I push my macro button, the file saves to “Dec (today’s date) DB (81).xls” The number 81 is the total count of A, B’s C’s, this # will change depending on how may A, B’s and C’s there are. I really hope there is a way of doing all this

Essentially, there are two columns I am dealing with. One is "Sales Rep" and it lists all of the sales reps employed by the company. The other is "Zip Code" and that will list all of the zip codes that sales rep is responsible for.
Now, I have a row of data, all of those zip codes listed out, that each rep is responsible for, but my supervisor wants all of the zip codes listed in one cell, in that second column. Example: (02018, 34098, 16711).
The commas are not necessary, but is there any way to get this done other than manually entering them?
I was able to input barcode reader data into A1, and automatically get the date inserted into B1. I wish the next activecell to be C1, instead of A2 as the above code is doing at the moment - so how do I alter the code above to make this happen?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have cut and pasted a large amount of data onto a spreadsheet. The problem is that I have two rows of data that is associated with one another, so lets say A1 has a name and A2 contains that person's age. This process repeats in the same way in A3 and A4 and so on.
I need to move the data from A2 to B1 without using a simple function like =A2 in B1. The reason is that I will need to sort just the Names in column A once I get the the data moved. I am not sure how to do this.

I need to move data within a cell. Is there a formula that can accomplish this? Here is an example of what I'm trying to do..
Column A
/ TN14YP244f
/ TN15YP245j
/ TN16YP246h
What it would need to do is take the last character in each cell and move it to replace the P in that cell. It should also capitalize the letter. ie: / TN14YP244f would become / TN14YF244
The letters at the end of the cell are always different, however the letter they replace is always the same (P).
