Is there a way to have excel track where my mouse is hovering(say if I have it hovering over cell A4) and have it return the value of A4 in a different cell (e.g B7)?
This would occur in real time - that is, as my mouse moved over the spreadsheet, B7 would update in real time.
Note I would also accept someone selecting the cell - hovering (no select) would be ideal but selecting is OK.
if Row i Column j is activated then a corresponding variable Aij, Bij, Cij or Dij would be created (if not already existing), or cumulated by 1. The problem as I see it - completely generalised - is to create a variable where the variable name itself is formulaic, as well as its value. I know SAS would have no problem with this due to the order in which it parses data steps, but I'm pretty amateur with other programming languages so I don't know if this is blindingly obvious or downright impossible!

I need to find the coordinate of the first cell in a column with word "reserved" or "extended" contained in the cell, and then assign the row number of that coordinate as a variable to use for moving data around. Basically, I want something like VLOOKUP, but instead of returning a value, I want it to return the coordinate.
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.
For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).
The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).
I've sent out a survey asking people to sign up for one of two groups, A or B. I have a table with a long string of responses, with the name in column A, and in columns B or C there is an X that shows whether they have chosen Group A (column B) or Group B (column C)
I am trying to write a bit of code where it would paste the names into a new table with the headers Group A and Group B. Here is what I have pieced together so far:
Sub Create_Groups()
For i = 2 To Range("B2").End(xlDown).Column()
If Range("B" & i).Value = x Then

I have data in E6-E67 on Sheet 1. Based on the date in A2 on that sheet, I need to paste to a column in Sheet 2. In excel, I am able to get the cell location through vlookup and get the correct column number/cell reference. When it gets to the paste location, I am stumped on how to format that line of code? Do I need sometime of variable? I tried to use the address/lookup code but it does not work.
I have excel 2013.
I'm trying to set a variable for a range based on the cells selected. For example, I want variable "myrange" to be set to range("A1:D14") if I click on cell A1 and drag it to D14. So far everything I've tried ends up getting the good old "1004 - Application defined or object defined error".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI received this code from an example I found once upon a time that was originally submitted by someone else. Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA.
Sub Process_CheckBox()
Dim cBox As CheckBox
Dim LRow As Integer
Dim LRange As String
LName = Application.Caller
Set cBox = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(LName)
' Find row that checkbox resides in
LRow = cBox.TopLeftCell.Row
LRange = "B" & CStr(LRow)
'Change date in column B, if checkbox is checked
If cBox.Value > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date
'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null
End If
End Sub
Here is some other code I already created. Unfortunately, because I don't know how to do the row reference, I had to create 25 different macros, which just bulks up the size of my file and slows it down. But here is what I'm trying to accomplish in my macro:.............
See the attached sheet. i need a formula that finds the word "Find Me" and performs the calculation written to the side of the word "find me", and stops with the word "finished". the difference in rows between "find me" and "finished" varies. i am at a loss on this one.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRight now in cell AE1 the value = "SUM", but the word "SUM" floats in row 1
I'd like a macro that looks through row1, and gives me the column letter that the word "SUM" resides in
sCol_1 As String
sCol1 = (Where ever the word "SUM" is located in row 1)
not sure if this is the best way.
I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly.
The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer.
My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.

is there a way to launch a macro when your mouse is over a specific cell or a specific range of cells ? The idea behind is to update a chart based on the cell value, in case a name, with its associated values
I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.
simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.
I'm trying to find a way to test is the max value in a range, columns A-F, comes after the min.
Example: Columns A-F have the values 4,1,3,5,2 respectively. I'd like a test to see if the min, in this case Column B, comes before the max, column D, and have an output that says yes or no. So in this example yes but if the numbers were instead 4,5,1,2,3 it would return a no.
On my worksheet, i want to execute a macro to calculate and display some informations when the mouse is positioned over certains cells. I look around but did not found how to do it.
I want the information to be displayed above that cell and disapeared when mouse pointer moved away.
I want to select a function from a right mouse click that will place the current date in the selected cell.
Example:
1) Click on a cell
2) Perform a right mouse click
3) select the date function
4) the current date appears in selected cell
could this be set up so that the date function in the right mouse click only appears when specified cells are selected? Is this doable?
Is there a way of counting mouse clicks on an active XL cell and displaying the real time count in the cell, in essence giving a click count? Or in the case of a handheld, tapping an active cell and having the value incrementally increase with each tap...
View 8 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if it was possible to get a collapsible menu/dialog box
for excel when a user clicks on the cell of interest. I don't want to use
the collapsible list function as I would rather the user be able to click on
the cell of interest and then have that cell produce maybe another
window/dialog box which will show the user what I have put in there - maybe a
chart or table or just a set of data - and perhaps allow them to cut and
paste the data as well? However, most importantly, I just want a
dialog/window box to appear rather than having to group and use the
collapsible list function. I've attached an image of what I have in mind.
What i am trying to do is make a command button appear when you hit any cell of the row its on. For example, If you were to hit any cell on rows 1 or 2 the command button will appear and when I am not on the visible property goes back to false. I have a ton of buttons on this sheet and I am trying to clean it up so buttons only appear as needed.

In excel 2007, I have an embedded image on a sheet which I want to make it hidden by default. When someone hovers over a particular cell say cell B3, then image should be displayed below this cell (sort of hyperlinking) and when the cursor or activell cell is not in B3 it should be hidden again.

I have a macro in which I have named a range of numbers in a spreadsheet, used the "find" function to find a particular number in that range, and now would like to copy some information into a cell in the same row as the found number. However, when I try to move over to the cell that I'm copying to, it only goes to the 1st row in the range that I have defined.
Here's the portion of code I think you need to see. Everything works...it finds a match...but then I don't know what to do from there to get the information to the correct row:
'Grab the 1st project number
Range("C8").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
If ActiveCell.Value "" Then
prjnum = ActiveCell.Value

I have a worksheet size roughly 100 * 400 cell. there is roughly 100 cells filled with RED color and with different value.
When i used FIND ALL format - RED, I can locate the cell location and the cell value. And I wish to copy these 2 info onto a new sheet so that on the new sheet, I can create a hyperlink and easily access to the location of the RED cell.
However, in FIND and REPLACE, i have a list of results on what I want. But i cannot copied the information out. So is there anyway to copy it out or to achieve what i want?
For eg.
RED value
cell
50
A3
87
D71
251
AQ5
and so on.
Is there any way to use the offset formula in reference to the location of another cell?
Here is a simplified version of my problem:
Sheet1!A1 refers to Sheet2!A1.
Sheet1!B1 refers to Sheet2!D1.
Sheet1!C1 refers to Sheet2!E1.
Is there any way that I can say that Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1 and then use the offset formula based on the location referenced in Sheet1!A1? The cells being referenced are merged cells one column wide and varying rows long, so there is no real pattern to follow except that the corresponding cells (the ones that I want to use the offset formula on) are all taking up the same amount of rows and are an equal amount of columns over (Sheet1!B1 refers to 3 columns over from Sheet2!A1, Sheet1!B1 refers to 4 columns over from Sheet2!A1). The spreadsheet is a fairly complex one and it would be much cleaner and less likely to have any mistakes if I was not referencing each cell individually.
I have received a spread sheet with all the data in column A. It follows the format of A1 = Name, A2 = Email, A3 = Name, A4 = Email, etc. for over 800 entries. What I need to do is etract all the email addresses and place them in column B alongside the Name. I don't have any experience with Makros and tried to use one but kept deleting the wrong data.
