QUESTION 1 - In line 4 of the code below, in Column B, how can I get this code to auto-fill ONLY equal to the bottom-most row with any data in column A?
Note that it's never exactly "B254"
QUESTION 2 - How can I change these 3 lines of code...
I have declared a 'long' variable. however; how do I change the variable data type to string if user input is not a number? how do I recognize the user input's datatype?

I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.
How can I modify this code:
HTML Code:Â
Sub aaanewa()
Dim lRow As Long, c As Range
lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Range("D1:D" & lRow)
If c.Value > "" Then
[Code]...
To include this:
HTML Code:Â
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ThemeColor = 1
.TintAndShade = -0.14996795556505
.Weight = xlThin
End With
so i can change the color and size of border
is it possible to restrict a cell in such a way that it is impossible to type data into it, but rather select data from a drop down, through validation?

I've been getting a type mismatch error with my code (upon using multiple cells) and I can't quite figure out why. I have the following
Sub Quicky()
If Worksheets("Daily").Range("B13").Value = 4 Then
Range("B13:H13"). Merge
Range("B13") = "Due " & Range("B13").Value & " times"
End If
End Sub
This code works just fine, but if I change Range("B13") in the first line to Range("B11:B13") that's when I get a type mismatch error.
Also, I'd like to be able to make it not have to use the value 4, but use whatever value is in the range, but that's a secondary issue. I hope that is not too close to a second question as I am attempting to follow the rules.

I was just wondering if there was a way of changing the excel chart default so it doesn't always return a grey (or gray for those of you over the pond !) plot area every time I create a chart. It looks rank and wastes toner IMO.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am in the middle of building a macro for some data to be automated. I have two sheets, one of which has an existing chart but the data has been removed so now there is no values on the chart. I then have a second sheet with data on it. The range is b4:c16. I want to point this data onto my chart on the other sheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently making a spreadsheet that will calculate the costs of products that my company makes. I have created the code that will add a line for each component of the product and fill in the details, but i want to set it so that it run's when i change the part number field in the sheet.
The only way i know to do this is using the worksheet_change event, but i will have more than one of these 'calculators' on one worksheet and the part number field will not always be the same cell.
I thought that an IF statement would work, as the cell next to the part number will always be the title "Parent". This is the code that i have tried but i keep getting run time error 1004 application-defined or object-defined error when the IF statement would return TRUE, when the IF statement returns FALSE (the cell to the left is NOT "Parent") the code exits, which is correct.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "Parent" Then
Code.....
End If
i made another thread about this but this one is more detailed.
all my questions are in the attachment excel thing, on the main page.
I have an existing code that runs almost flawlessly but I am running in to formatting cells error (or at least I think that is the problem).
For example, here is a line of code where my error lies:
If Worksheets(FirstSheet).Cells(Counter, ColtoMove) = MoveIf Then
'DO SOME ACTION
If I put my cursor on MoveIf it shows the expect number of 4500016239…….BUT it errors!
When I step through the code and go to the worksheet (or go to the left side of the = in the above code the data in the cell is “4.5E+09“.
I’ve attempted to change the formatting of this cell range to “Text” by the following With statement:
With Worksheets("CreateOrderFormsData")
.Range("AC:AC").NumberFormat = "Text"
End With
Note: if I verify the cells formatting after the above code is ran by rt click on the cell, format cells the Number field is set to “CUSTOM” and the Type: field is set to “TEXT”. Is this the problem? Please read on.
But that did not seem to do the trick…..actually if I now go to the left of the = again (which is now set to text) the data is “###########” in the cell, in the formula bar the number is the expected 4500016239 though but the CODE STILL FAILS!
Am I on the right track…..can anyone assist with this error please?
VBA code to do the following.
In F147 will go a value
Then if the value of F147 is greater than 20 the color of D144 would turn green.
I would like to have a vba code that changes the cell color so that if there is number 1 (just number 1) in some cell the background of the cell changes in to shade of grey and cell that has number 2 changes into darker shade of grey and so on. I have numbers 1-10 in random order in my sheet. I mean there is many cells that has the same number and the sheet is quite large so vba code would be ideal choise to do it quickly.

I have cells in range L12:BN1000 with formulas that will output a 1 or a 2.
If the output is 1, I would like the cell to color yellow
if the output is 2, I would like the cell to color orange
the reason I dont want to use conditional formatting is because the use needs to be able to copy and insert rows and by doing so the use would need to manually add the new cells into the conditional format range. I would like to come up with a macro that applies this condition to a large range.
also, were do I add this macro? under sheet1? this workbook? or as a module?
I have looked at a series of Change Event topics and code but can't see what I need. I simply want a macro to run automatically when a cell ....which contains the Maximum time from a range.... changes. I assume I use .... Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) ...but I have no idea what code to use...

I have the code below set to change the background color based on certain conditions. What I need to do is change it so that if none of the conditions are met, it does not change the color at all. As it is written now, if anything is entered in a cell that has a background already set, but does not meet these conditions, the cell turns white.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to hide and unhide a given set of rows based on the value in a particular cell. My current code allows me to successfully do this, ONLY, when I select the cell being 'watched' for changes and press enter. It does not execute the code automatically.
The cell is changed by a set of filters that modifies the data. The watched cell is then a summation of the filter modified cells. If the filters change to all "0" or "-" then my 'watched' cell sum becomes "0" and thus should execute the code automatically.
Current Code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.Outline.ShowLevels RowLevels:=3
If Range("I62").Value = "0" Then
Rows("63:87").Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
So, right now if I use the filter and the cells change then the sum in I62 becomes "0", I have to manually select cell I62 and press enter and which point the above code executes exactly as I intend.
I need the execution part to be automatic and not have to manual click into cell I62.
When ever I update my external CSV file and hit refresh all data, I get #REF! Errors. The CSV file has a table that changes daily. Thus the "A" Column has a different number of rows depending on the day. The problem is that Monday the CSV file will contain 700 Rows, while on Friday it will have 200 Rows. I end up with a lot of #REF! Errors friday. How do I write the code so that (A561 for example) does not change regardless if it can reference the target cell or not? I even thought of making a macro that just copied the formula into all of the cells after each refresh, but there must be a better way.
Example code
=IF(A561>0,IF(Start!$H$2="Monday",'calculations-mon-sat'!O561,calculation!O561),"")
=IF(#REF!>0,IF(Start!$H$2="Monday",'calculations-mon-sat'!O567,calculation!O567),"")
I have a worksheet in which the values in cells B8, H37, H42, H48 and H49 must be negative. Occasionally the values get entered as positive numbers.
I would like to use VBA code to automatically change the value from positive to negative.
It appears that the WorkSheet_Change event could be used to do this but I don't know what code to enter into the Sub.
working this formula out for use in conditional formatting;
Make E9 show E9+H12 if H9>0
I've got the following formula to conditionally format E9 to red fill when H9>0, but it won't change the contents of E9 to E9+H12 under the same condition;
=IF(H9>0,(H12+E9),"")
