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?
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.
I 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?
In 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?
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.
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)...
Sub AddContextMenu() On Error Resume Next Application. CommandBars("formula bar").FindControl(msoControlButton, 0, "MYMENU").Delete On Error Goto 0 Dim objTemp As CommandBarButton With Application.CommandBars("formula bar") Set objTemp = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , .Controls.Count + 1, True) With objTemp .Caption = "Formula Menu" .BeginGroup = True .OnAction = "TestMe" .Tag = "MYMENU" End With............
Is it possible to write code to paste a string in text select (double click in a cell) mode rather than cell select (single click a cell) mode? I need a string to paste in as if someone had double clicked then hit paste (so as to utilize special delimiters.) Here is the code that reads the workbook, finds the next available row, then pastes:
Dim strCopyToLog As String strCopyToLog = Range("Q2") Range("Q2").Select Selection.Copy Range("b1.b5000").Find("").Select ActiveCell.Value = strCopyToLog
I would like my custom menus to act like builtin menus - specifically I would like them to be disabled (grayed out or even entirely removed) when the application is in Cell Edit Mode (I cant believe I am the first to ask about this but I cant find the answer elsewhere).
It sure seems confusing to offer users access to a seemingly active command when it does not run (in edit mode I mean).
I send huge lumps of Karma to any willing to share ideas or solutions.
A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.
I have a comment which I wish to edit, but I am unable to either edit or delete the comment. I have checked the 'shared workbook', 'shared worksheet', and 'protected cell' options and they are all turned off (never had them on).
The cell I have the comment on has a dropdown box, but I can't see that being a problem. I am able to add a comment, which I can edit and delete, but the original comment seems to be 'stuck'.
I try to edit comments in cells of a certain column and nothing happens. I am able to edit other comments throughout the spreadsheet, but when I select "edit comments" for these particular cells, no edit box is displayed for editing. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago.
I'm doing the vba programming for excel where I added a button to the excel, and when user click on the button, it will trigger my function.
My question is: if currently there is a cell been focused, how can I know whether that is in the 'editing mode' (ie, focus on that cell and double click on that) or merely 'focus' on that cell? Any of the excel object property for this?
I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
I have an Excel 2007 workbook with several sheets, and various cells in several of the sheets have column headers with a description in the same cell enclosed in curly brackets, e.g. Header{Description}. I would like to to keep the column headers in their respective cells, but move (cut) the descriptions along with the brackets to the respective cell comments.
I have several worksheets that have comments in the cells. Most of the comments i have set to "un-hide" and they can be printed. I now have this one spreadsheet where no matter what I do I cannot print the comments.
I must have something turned on or off but for thwe life of me I cannot figure out what it is. I can see the comments on the screen but when I go to print preview they are not there.
I have several comments being placed into a pivot table from a macro. However, all of a sudden, when I changed the source of the Pivot table, the comments now do not appear when hovering over the cell. They only appear way off to the right if I click "review," "Show/hide comment" or "show all comments."
I have inserted a comment on a cell.... what required is the comment should show every time the cell is selected/highlighted with the keyboard - no matter the mouse pointer is on the cell or not.
Whereas, the comments only shows when the mouse pointer touches the cell...
I am trying to add comments in a selection of cells and where there is a value then the comment should show the formula value of the cell ie if the formula in cell A1 is = 9 + 10 then the comment should show this. This I have got to work, but if I have a comment already the macro fails and I have tried to get round this but I am not clever enough.
I have a list on my first worksheet that is sequentially numbered in the first column, and has work activities in the next column. On my second worksheet, I have those sequential activity numbers as the column headers on a new list. Problem is I don't have any room to label the new list by the activity's actual description(second column, first sheet). If I did, I would just use a simple VLOOKUP.
So, what I would like to do is utilize the VLOOKUP to pass the activity description string to a UDF that will create a comment in those column headers. Then when the user mouses over the activity numbers, the respective activity descripiton will pop-up as a comment thus solving my space problem!
I would like to be able to sum quantities held in comments. I am using the Ozgrid VBA module to sum cells based on a fill color, and it works incredibly. However, sometimes I only want to sum a fraction of a cell's contents, and I don't want to use separate fill colors for all possible combinations, so I am thinking to have the comment tab contain the quantity that I want to sum. Example: employee has a total hrs worked of 8 but 2.75 of those hours are to be allocated to sick pay. Typically employees are restricted to taking benefit hours in increments of 4 or 8, and I have some coding to handle that situation.
I need help with my current macro so that it will look in several cells (myrange) if comment(s) are found, write it in a particular cell, so that you end up with all comments written in that cell. If no comment are found then search until the end of the range(or until all comments are found). My current problem is that it is repeatedly writing the comments it finds and I end up with the same number of comments in one cell as number of cells in myrange.
I have a VBA that can add a comment based on the cell value, however, I need it to do it for the whole worksheet and not just one cell. I am pretty new to using VBA's, so this is the best code I could find that would perform what I need. If there is a way to have it do run a vlookup, instead of me listing all the cases, that would be great as well.
VB: Sub AddComment() Dim strText As String With Range("s6") Select Case UCase(.Value) Case "UPT": strText = "UnPaid Tardy/Late"
I have Main worksheet (sheet 9) and some codes in Sheet 10 which I use as a source for data validation in Sheet 9. So far I have a macro which looks for changes in cells and, when someone chooses a code from the list the macro adds a comment to the cell and populates it with an explanation of the code. The explanations are also in the code worksheet (Sheet 10). It works really nicely but I cannot work out how to remove the comment if the user clears the value in the cell.
I have a spreadsheet with several comments with pictures on cells. I want them to show up when you select the cell, instead of having to put your mouse cursor on it. I found this code, but then it shows the comment on the middle of the spreadsheet. I want the comments to show next to the selected cell.
In the first worksheet, there are multiple comments and I need the property of the cell including the comment to be transferred to the second sheet using a formula.
Suppose in "Sheet1" in cell A5 it says "Number of Sales" with a comment "Check everyday".
Know I need to transfer this to say in "Sheet2" in cell A5. So in A5 of Sheet2 I can type ='Sheet1'!A5 This only brings the text and in this example it would say "Number of Sales" without the comment. All i need is for the comment to be joined with the cell.
I do not how to use Visual Basic and need your help
I cannot use Copy Paste in this case because the file is too large.
If there is no comment it should just write the value of the cell and if no value in cell than it should leave it blank. I will attach a file as a example
