I would like to run some code against the currently selected range of cells in the worksheet, but when I click on the VB button that runs the code, the focus shifts from the worksheet to the VB app, and the cells in the worksheet are no longer selected.
I know this is probably not a question that's come up before, but does anyone have any idea how to retain the 'selected' status of the cells in the worksheet ?
I have a macro that launches another program (Windows Title - Storm). I then use sendkeys to have it export the file to an excel file. (This launches another instance of excel.) I want to be able to focus back to (Storm) so I can sendkeys to close the program down. I can get it to the end result using sendkeys, but I am trying to have it switch back to the Storm application so the user does not need to close it manually.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a small userform placed at the bottom right of the screen (with a command button on it) and this opens up on top of excel instances and other applications/windows and it is set so that you can't interact with anything except the userform.
I wanted to minimize the userform and give focus to immediate next window (can be excel or non excel applications) for 10 seconds and then activate/show the userform back again, when the "Button 1" on the userform is clicked.
I tried hiding the userform, but this doesn't give focus to the immediate next window. Below is the code
Private Sub Button_Click()
Me.Hide
PauseApp (10)
Me.Show
End Sub
I could only find answers for adding minimize and maximize buttons to userform.
When the button is clicked, it should perform
Step a - Minimize the userform
Step b - Give focus to the next immediate window behind the userform
Step c - Wait for 10 seconds
Step d - Bring back the userform its to state.
Suddenly a file in heavy use for a number of weeks is including an unselected column some 40 columns away in the print area.

I've found "Application.Goto", also the Application.Width/Height setting. The App.Width setting is pixel based, so if there's an easy way to know a cell's pixel-location, that'll work too!

I have 20 staff members that I need to schedule in half day shifts (AM & PM) across three different locations for the month of July.
I want to make sure there is no overlap/duplication for any one staff in a time slot. Nor do I want any one staff member to work an AM and PM shift in the same day.
Ideally, I would also like to avoid back-to-back shifts (e.g., not allow PM on Monday to be scheduled for an AM on Tuesday).
Lastly, I would like to have the number of shifts be be as equitably distributed across all of the staff members as well.
Any way that I can do this in Excel?
I have table and need to take out montly total for each worker...
Now...
Each hours in day have own factor. (I need total hours per day but for illustration)...
So when worker works day shift from 8:00 to 16:00 it's easy... 8 hours
When works from 8:00 to 20:00 it's 8 hours + 4 afternoon hours
When works from 20:00 to 8:00 it's 2 afternnoon hours + 8 night hours + 2 day hours
Aditional problem is when day intercept holliday or sunday when that factors need to be included (if holliday is at sunday then it's like holliday).
Here is some attachment:
Book1.xls
I've also added last day of previous month and first day of next month because of night shifts than need to be calulcated. Therefore correct number of hours is 168 and not 188.
Below I calculated manually those numbers wich I want to be automated...
Also.. This is table I get.. If it's easier to make it somehow else, OK by me. And any number of aditional columns is not problem...
I need a macro that will take a list of 42 names and 27 locations. The names are broken down into group of shifts, 1 shift, 2nd shift and 3rd shift. We need to perform audits on the 27 locations in groups of 2 people at a time. What I'd like is a macro that would take all the names by shift and assign 2 random people to a location. All 27 locations have to be audited each week (safety), and a report filled out and turned into our safety committee. I would like to post the audit sheet with the macro on our shared drive. Can anyone help me with this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis problem started after a lot of development of various macros in a moderate sized workbook.
I've gone back to various stages of development and am unable to find what is causing this one worksheet tab to jump to the beginning of the cue (to the left) when i first click on that tab.
Thought the most likely culprit was a worksheet change macro, but even after deleting that, the behaviour persisted.
I have checkboxes (from the control toolbox) in a spreadsheet next to text. When I am in the normal view everything is where it is supposed to be. But when I do a print preview the checkbox shifts and comes on top of the text that was at the left of the checkbox.
This form has to be presentable both on paper and electronically. So both views are important.
I'm currently working with MS Excel 2010 and have a document full of people with their working hours. So their start time and their end time. Now these people should get a monetary reward dependent on the different time shifts they work in. For example, someone is scheduled for a shift starting at 6:00 AM (cell A1) until 20:00 PM (Cell B1). His actual clocking-in time is 5:48 AM (Cell C1) and clocking-out time is 19:58 PM (Cell D1). There are three shift reward types:
1) Shift Regular (E1): From 7:00 AM until 18:00 PM
2) Shift night (F1): From 18:00 PM until 0:00 AM
3) Shift midnight (G1): From 0:00 AM until 7:00 AM
How can create a formula in cell E1, F1 and G1, which will first look at the actual clocking-in time and scheduled time and will say 5:48 AM is too early as you start at 6:00 AM, so 1 hour in cell G1, and 11 hours in cell E1 and 2 hours in F1 (should automatically round up 19:58 to 20:00). However, after 4 hours work someone will get 0:30 hours lunch break, which should be deducted in E1 as well. And as mentioned earlier actual clocking time should be round up to 15 minutes, so 19:53 should be 20:00 and 6:13 should be 6:15.
Also note that the cells with time are in TIME and should become numbers (e.g. 7,5 hours) in cells E1, F1 and G1.
I also added an attachment, which shows what I would like to retrieve automated in the RED boxes.
I am developing a report that tracks the efficiency of industrial sorters on
an automated assembly line. The line runs around the clock in three shifts
(1: 7:30am to 3:29pm, 2: 3:30pm to 11:29pm, and 3: 11:30pm to 7:29am), and
collects certain performance indicators, such as units processed. I am
trying to calculate the units processed during each shift on each day. For
example, if a run ran from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, and processed 100 units, I
would want 50 units credited to shift 2 and 50 units to shift 3 (we are
assuming a steady rate of processing).
My data arrives from the machine with the following columns (each run is a
separate row):
B|D|E|G|H
Run #| Start Date| Start Time| Units Processed | End date | End Time
I have successfully used the start time to determine the starting shift with
IF statements:
=IF(--E3<0.3125,3,(IF(--E3<0.6458,1,(IF(--E3<0.9792,2,3))))) and a similar
formula to calculate the end shift. This works fine if the run only spans
two shifts within the same day.
My problem is that some of the runs, run across more than one shift and even
across days. For example, a run that ran from 10:30 pm on one day to 4:30 pm
on the next, would overlap 5 shifts and two days. I need to be able to
figure out the proportion of time spent on each shift, and use that to get
the proportion of units processed during each shift on each day.
I am currently thinking of a convoluted series of nested IF statements (and
generating lots of columns to the right of my data for each potential shift
within a run), but this seems inelegant and cumbersome. Is there a more
logical way to approach this? Even more specifically, is there a function
that can pair my start/end dates and times with a set of shift start/end
times and calculate the elapsed time for each shift within a run? Something
with MATCH or VLOOKUP maybe?
We have a person who work in 24/7 support. One person work passive 24 hour, but it 24 hours are divided in to next shifts: normal 06-18, over hours 18-22, night hours 22-06.So if we have some one who is supporting client say from 17h till 23h, we have next results:
Name Start time End Time 06:00 - 18:00 18:00 - 22:00 22:00 - 06:00
John 17:00 23:00 1:00 4:00 1:00
Is it possible to in time range enter formula who subtracted end time from start time, but taking into account 24 hours?
I have an Excel sheet where users enter shift start and finish times (normal Excel time format) - for example: A1 might be 18:00 and A2 might be 06:00 for an overnight shift from 6pm to 6am.
All I need to calculate from these times are the number of hours to which an allowance applies, under the following conditions.
The allowance is paid for all hours worked between 18:00 and 06:00.After 10 hours, a shift becomes overtime and no shift allowance is paid.Shifts are regularly worked overnight (i.e. past midnight into the following morning)
Example scenarios include:03:00 - 15:00 would pay 3 hours of shift allowance09:00 - 21:00 would pay 1 hour of the allowance (as the shift becomes overtime from 19:00)03:00 - 21:00 would pay 3 hours19:00 to 08:00 would pay 10 hours (as the shift becomes overtime from 05:00 the following morning)22:00 to 10:00 would pay 8 hours
And so on.
I feel like I’ve got most of the pieces of the jigsaw, but I can’t put them together! I’ve got the following formulae working out bits of what I think I need:
[Code] ........
The above works out the number of hours before 6am and after 6pm respectively (which I can then SUM), and I believe also accounts for overnight shifts. This obviously doesn't include the more-than-10-hours criteria yet.
The larger formula now looks like this:
[Code] ......
…but this still doesn’t work properly! The sections referring to 1.25 were my attempt to get the shift allowance to stop if the past-midnight shift continues past 06:00, but I don't think it works properly.
I also know I’m probably using *24 and /24 more than I need to, but that’s partly so I’ve got a better grasp of what the formula is doing.
Once this is working, I'm happy using an IF… >10 formula to prevent the total number of hours of shift allowance being more than 10. However, I’m really struggling to find one single formula that will factor in shifts that might start before 6am and finish after 6pm (i.e. 05:00 – 19:00, which should pay one hour), shifts that might go past midnight and possibly past 06:00 the next day, and so on.
Lastly – not to try and complicate things further – there is an optional cell elsewhere, say A3, where a user enters ‘Y’ if the individual takes an unpaid 30 minute break at some point during the shift. This is to be deducted from whatever type of hours are being paid at the end of the shift. For example, if a shift is from 01:00 - 11:00 with the break, it would pay 5 hours with a shift allowance and 4.5 without. If the shift was 13:00 - 23:00, it would pay 5 without the allowance and 4.5 with the allowance. Is there a practical way of doing this, or does this become much more complicated?
When I enter a value into a cell and press "ENTER" or press the Right Arrow the whole spread shifts to the left instead of just confirming the entry of the cell and moving one cell(column) to the right.
This is a spreadsheet that I have used for over 3 years so something has changed in one of the settings.

I have attached the xlx sheet. I am a truck driver and I always have to calculate my weekly wage on paper.
I start everyday at different times it varies the end of shift as well. We have day shift, night, saturday, sunday payrates.
I have done an excel sheet I was trying for a couple of days reading forums and watching videos but just I couldn't.
Example if I start Friday at 18:00 and finisth Saturday at 04:00. I have in total 10 hours.
Day shift: 1 hour
Night shift: 5 hour
Saturday: 4 hour
So in one shift I get 3 different payrate. In one shift if I work more than 6 hours it must be deducted 00:45 minutes.
Day shift: 07:00-19:00 - £10.7
Night shift: 19:00-07:00 - £11.7
Saturday - £12.7
Sunday - £14.7
