As I type in text into Excel often I see number signs instead of the text. Baffling - I have tried switching the format to wrap etc - nothing works.
Can anyone help - See attached file. The short solution is to retype the text - but this occurs alot and I am not sure why. Really appreciate your help.
I have a sheet with several entries. I want to find a way to have the user go to a specific cell instantly. What I thought I'd try was a combobox that when I click on a name in the combobox. It will make the matching name from the list the active cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a user-defined function, but the function needs to know what cell it has been placed in. I want to use this cell reference to get some other offset values. I can easily find out offset values based on the ActiveCell, but not for those offset values based on where the UDF is actually placed, which could be almost anywhere on the worksheet.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been looking around have this much code from this site, modified. What I am trying to do is calculate numbers by a position with cells D through K having numeric values. I have 'hardcoded' the cells (D2, E2, etc in the code below), but in reality I only want the current row (so if the formula is on the 2nd row, I want D2, if it is on the 3rd row, I want D3).
My problem is obviously the formula isn't working because I am not correctly tying back to the spreadsheet (Positioncalc.xls). When I put the formula in the spreadsheet it works, but in my script I get 0 everytime.
My Script:
Function Position(rCell As Range, Optional RightPosition As Boolean)
Dim vResult
Select Case rCell.Text
Case "QB"
vResult = (2*D2) + (2*E2) + (2*F2) + (4*G2) + (2*H2) + (1*I2) + (4*J2) + (3*K2)
Case Else
vResult = "Invalid Position"
End Select
If RightPosition = True Then
Position = vResult
Else
Position = "Position not valid"
End If
End Function
So, when I put =Position(A2,True) I expect to see the formula results of those cells calculated based on the position (QB, HB, etc with their unique formulas).
My next challenge after this is to highlight certain cells based on the Position. So if A2 = QB, I want cell D2 boldface and Red, etc. I have seen some scripts on colors and such here, so I might be able to figure it out.
I want to set up a name which is a relative cell refence an is independant of the sheet. Something like this ITEMCOST =A1
So I would use this in each sheet (Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 ...)
So it should always reference A1 on whatever sheet the forrumal is placed e.g =0.175*ITEMCOST should work on A1 of each sheet. However, when I try this the name always references a specific worksheet Sheet1. I also want the name to cope with the case where I insert a new row so that the new value is ITEMCOST =A2
I have tried a little bit of different conditional formatting but cannot seem to get what I want.
So then I found this code that will do what I want if I could get it to recognize the highlight.
Sub HilightRows()
For Each cl In Range("C:C")
If cl.Value = 202546 Or cl.Value = 102725 Or cl.Value = 192473 Then
Rows(cl.Row).Highlight = True
End If
Next
End Sub
I want to be able to highlight rows that have certain numbers. When it finds the number it highlights it and goes to the next one and highlights it and so on. The numbers reside in column 'C'.
I changed Row(cl.Row).HiddenRows = True, To Row(cl.Row).Highlight = True. But it is not working.
I have developed a database that is ported to other computer systems. My problem is that I have to hard-code the filename into the VBA code to identify the correct Application Object. I found that if I have activated another spreadsheet and run the code, it performs the actions on the wrong spreadsheet.
So my question is, is there a way to get the VBA code to automatically associate itself with the file in which it resides? That way, when I move the file to another computer, it knows what .xls file to use as the "Application Object".
here is what I have now (I replaced the actual paths with {x pathname}):
fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Includes IVA Cat Rev E and JCPC - ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3 - for distribution.xls"
Set xlapp = GetObject("{1st pathname}FCS Hardware Databases and Catalogs" & fname)
'Set xlApp = GetObject("{2nd pathname}" & fname)
'Set xlapp = GetObject("{3rd pathname}" & fname)
Set xlapp = xlapp.Application
When I copy the file to another location, I manually uncomment the correct fname and xlApp name... a real pain, especially if I share this with a large community. I don't want to have to teach everyone how to do this every time!
I have 4 cells in a single row. I would like the first 3 cells to contain various data for assigned tasks to employees. The 4th cell will contain a date, but that date will only be inserted once the task has been completed. The behavior of the cells over time needs to look like this:
1. The first 3 cells must have text in them and remain with white backgrounds until the date is inserted in the 4th cell.
2. All 4 cells must turn gray once the date is inserted in the 4th cell.
A user on another forum gave me Cell Value is Not Equal to ="" as the answer. This does not work as I have text in the first 3 cells and need them to remain white until the date is inserted in the 4th cell. Using "Formula Is" makes more sense to me as an approach, but I'll be hog-tied if I can figure out how to write the formula for it.
I have a spreadsheet in which I needed to add the row totals of cells affected by conditional formatting. Ozgrid came to the rescue here (kudos to Dave H and JimFuller1), but now if I sort by these totals the results do not match the rows they are associated with. The attached spreadsheet shows the values the users want to see on Sheet1. The user changes the highlighted values in the rows by changing the values in A1 and B1. These index a set of tables on Sheet3, and Sheet2 mimics the CF conditions in order to provide the totals in col V of Sheet1.
Now if I filter a Sheet1 field on nonblanks (to get rid of the blank rows) and then attempt 'Sort Descending' on Col V, all the rows appear to sort correctly with the exception of Col V which now appears to give the wrong total for the row.
I have a weekly report which lists items and their available date. This list is always changing - new items added, old items removed. These items are required for 4 different projects and the item listed says which project the item date is for. There is also the same item across different projects which also have different dates which also appear and disappear each week depending on requirements.
I want to be able to capture the date for each of the items per project per week. Ultimately, I want to be able to track the movement of the date per item per project. I have attached a sample of how I want it to do.
I have several lists that I need to be able to print out periodically.
The main worksheet that underpins each list is over 900 lines long and numerous calcs and formulae populate columns to provide the data for my 'print lists'.
I need my 'print lists' on seperate worksheets and I have linked the data from my main worksheet results, using IF statements to stop unwanted results being displayed by making the rows appear empty (i.e. to display "").
Due to the design of my main Worksheet it is inevitable that I have many rows in each 'print list' that are not required for that particular 'print list'.
I want to remove the 'empty' rows from the print sheets at the time of printing. I cannot use the GoTo > Special > Blanks > Delete Rows because the rows are not recognised as being 'blank'.
I have attached 2 screenshots of my 'print lists'.
P.S. I am not assuming anything but I have searched on OZGRID and it appears to me that I might need to use Excel/VBA?
I'm trying to enter relatively simple drug calculation formulas in Excel where the result is appended with the proper units to administer. For example, if I'm calculating for units of regular insulin with a formula such as:
=0.75*f2
I'd like the cell to make the above calculation, and append it with "Units Reg Insulin" or something similar. Thus far, I've just been putting the units as text in adjacent cells but the result looks a bit messy.
Is this possible? I'm using Excel 2007 and the Help index does not seem to offer much guidance about this.
I'm trying to do something very simple, but I haven't had any luck searching for a function in excel that will let me do it.
Column A is a list of directories on a server, i.e. 01april, 02april, etc.
Column B is the path to those main directories, i.e. /raid0/data/documents/april/
Column C is where users can can type "1" if they want the directory or leave it blank if they do not want it selected.
Column D, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete source path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
Column E, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete destination path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
This is all working fine.
What I want to be able to do now though, is somehow, when someone sends the document back to me, create an FTP queue. I can do this with BulletProof FTP, because it allows really simple text queues.
So, what I need excel to do is, when someone has finished selecting their files, is write the results to a text file like exactly like this (without the Line1:, etc.):
Line1: <text from D2>
Line2: 0
Line3: 0
Line4: 0
Line5: ?
Line6: <text from E2>
(then repeated for each row in the excel document until column A is returning blank)
Seems simple enough.. Any ideas?
Also, an extra question--> is there any way I can make Excel list a directory structure automatically? Could it display the file size for the entire directory? I don't necessarily want it to list every file, just the directory paths and size of each directory.
I've attached a spreadsheet. I want the order of the sentence to change based on the numbers and whether they are positive or negative. Below are more details and the spreadsheet has numbers.
"Total expense for September was 8 higher (lower) than prior year, driven by a higher (lower) claims expense and admin expense"
This might be hard to explain: For the second part (starting from "driven by", I would like the variable that explains more of the positive or negative variance (in the example, claims) to come first.
Here is a different example
Total expense for September was 6 lower than prior year, driven by a lower admin expense (claims is not included because it is higher)

I am attempting to create a formula that will, return text results based on 2 criterion.
This is what my sheet looks like
Name Job Full Time / Partime
Bob Admin Full Time
Barry Accounts Part Time
Chris Claims Full Time
Emma Claims Full Time
The formula I have for this is {=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(1,(((B1:B4)="Claims")*((C1:C4)="Full Time")),0))}
Which is fine and returns the name Chris, however as you can see from above, Emma also meets the criteria given however, I cannot get Emma to appear also. Is it possible to display more than one entry in a cell/s based on this formula, or am I missing something.
I would use a pivot table to do this, however I need the sheet to be completely automated.
I have a column with lots of tube station names. I have a look up table with the tube station name, and the possible lines that pass by that tube station.
One tube station may be covered by more than one tube line.
I am looking for a formula that will output every tube line that caters that one tube station.
first question, what is the best way to organise the data in my look up table.
Second, is a vlookup the best formula to achieve the output I want? i.e. Reflect how many tube lines cover each station
see table below: If the station name has only one tube line, Vlookup works fine. When the station, such as Canno Street, has two tube lines, Vlookup only picks up one tube line. If I duplicate Cannot street under the station name, the Vlookup picks only one tube line.
LOOK UP TABLE A1 - station name
B1 Tube line name
Cannon Street
District
[Code].....
Is there a formula that will output the data of the second tube line name in column D1?
My macro contains a VLookup formula that is giving me the text of the formula instead of the results. A portion of the macro is, as follows:
Sheets("Survey Results").Select
Range("c1").Value = "Resolving Group"
Range("c2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'Survey Invitation'!C[-2]:C[-1],2,FALSE)"
Range("C2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C2:C900"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("C2:C900").Select
Range("C2").Select
The VLookup statement appears in place of the result when the macro is run. This is Excel 2007 and it runs to the end without error.
I have searched other postings but can’t seem to find the answer.
I was wondering if anyone had a solution on how to string multiple Vlookup results as a text string so that if I Vlookup “Pear” it will return “Red, Blue, Green” in adjacent cell
i.e
A B
1 Fruit Colour
2 Pear Red
3 Orange Purple
4 Apple Green
5 Banana Yellow
6 Pear Blue
7 Pear Green
8 Banana Black
9 Orange Green
10 Apple Black
Is Vlookup the right function to go with here?
I have a file with a bunch of columns in it. Columns C and D have names in them. I want to filter on these two columns where the results show all rows where the selected name is in both.
Example, If I filter on Column C first on 2 specific names (Joe and Chris), it will not show the results in column D if that name was aligned with a different name in column C (Mark and Steve). I need all rows to come back.
Column C
Column D
Joe
Joe
Chris
Chris
Joe
Chris
Joe
Mark
Joe
Steve
Chris
If i use text to columns using comma as a separator, it does not give me the desired results when I have a text like "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL". I want this display as "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL". But if i use this feature, I get "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA" in one column and "IL" in another column. Ideally I want it to show "FAIRFIELD I&S - E PEORIA, IL" in a single column.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo basically I have a spreadsheet that tracks if a patient has turned in there required paperwork within the last 6 months and then changes the cell to white and lets me know how many days they have left until they are due to turn this paperwork in again. Then if it has expired I have a condition format change the cell to Red but I would like to add in the text EXPIRED to the cell. lastly I have Cells that have no data in them gray and I would like to add in red text saying No Paperwork.
I'm hoping this will be my last build of this spreadsheet so I can go ahead and start applying it to the real workbook [URL]
I know you can select all cells with a formula.
I know you can select all cells with constants
What about selecting all visible text (and results of a formula) on a page?
I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is even possible, but figured this is the place to ask the question. I'm trying to compare a list of companies (column a) to a list of employee email addresses (column b) and post results (column c) that display all associated email addresses that are unique to company name. Since multiple employee email addresses can be associated with numerous company names.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI load an text file into an excel sheet and after some eventually changes I save (overwrite) it back into the text file again. Now the text file has become a file with 50 pages (49 empty pages). How can I avoid this or how can I set an EOF when no more written lines follows. The code for saving the excel sheet is this:
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets(wsImport).Select
Sheets(wsImport).copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=WorkFolder & WorkFile, _

I have attached a work book example of what i am trying to do.
Column D is what i originally did in terms of the formula and now i have to have a column display text dependant on what is in column A to C.
I was trying this formula =IF(b2>a2,"Start Target Missed",IF(c2="","Failed","Tracking")) However if this isnt working.
Is there anything i can do to change this?
I have a VBA subroutine that builds a list of dates in an array and then copies this to the worksheet using worksheetfunction.transpose. The array is two dimensional and therefore uses the variant data type.
This works fine in Excel 2002. In Excel 2003 the array is fine until the Transpose function is used, at this point they are changed from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. This means that some dates are changed (eg: 01/Mar/2008 becomes 03/Jan/2008) and some are written as strings (eg: 17/Mar/2008 becomes the string "17/03/2008" and cannot be operated on as a date).
I'm aware that there was a hotfix to deal with a similar issue regarding recalculation but this is on Excel 2003 SP3 which should already have that hotfix in place.
I have reduced my code down to a basic demonstration showing the problem. This assumes the worksheet contains some dates in "A2:A32". I have also attached the workbook containing this code.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim a() As Variant, c As Integer
Redim a(1 To 31)
For c = 1 To 31
a(c) = Cells(1 + c, 1)
Next c
Range("D2:D32") = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(a)
End Sub
I have fixed this problem by looping through each element of the array and writing them individually in to cells but this is far slower so I'd like to know if there is a better solution than that.
I have the data as follows in each cell a number:
1 5 6 23 45 2
6 23 45 5 1 22
9 10 11 1 36 5
I have this kind of data going down about 2000 rows. I want to find how many times 1 and 5 appear in each row until there is no more data to read. I found the formula below but I cant use it for 2000 lines plus any extra that will appear in the future...
I have 2 problems relating to LOOKUP.
Not sure if Excel can perform these calculations as they could get to complex.
Problem 1
Can it be possible to have excel look at data from one cell reference another cell then display the results from the cell next to it in another cell, sort of example:
Tab 1 (Never changes)
AB
Bob1
Jon2
Fred3
Tab 2 (Dynamic, changes each week)
AB
Jon
Fred
Bob
So it would work as follows.
Tab2 column B will take Tab2 column A’s data check Tab1 column A and display Tab1 column B’s result.
Problem 2
Weekly league rank table that shows position movements week by week
Example.
Week1
1Jon
2Bob
3Fred
Week2
1FredUp 2
2BobNot Moved
3JonDown 2
Can Excel calculate/show the actual movements of league positions?
I am trying to create formula that will show overtime worked in a given day. The code I am using is a simple one ([ cell - 8], for hours worked). The problem is when the time cells are blank/not used it shows a -8 in the cell. what I need to do to create a code that will eliminate the -8 from showing. The cell its self is taking the result from another cell with a formula and then subtracting 8 from the result of the formula in the other cell.
