if it is possible to change the border thickness weight via points? Eg., "1/4 pt".
I find that the xlthin border prints too thick. The only way I've been able to reduce it to appearing thin when it prints is by choosing the second option under "None" in the Line Style option of the Format Cells dialog box.
While that approach prints a thin border, it is actually a dotted line and looks a bit odd on screen.
How the heck to work with comboboxes and listboxes.
In entering column widths, I want to do inches. I understand inches. I don't understand points.
The instructions say that it will take whatever is in the User Control Panel: Regional: Number settings. I checked. It is US system. Not points.
MSO 2010. Can I change it to inches or do I need to get used to points?
I am using Excel 2007. One of my worksheets has a dark border around some cells. Instead of being blue the lines are black. I used the right click and format cells option but it does not work.

I have an existing table with data that is updated daily ... more rows are added. Currently, the cell border is black. I would like to run a macro such that the column header is shaded grey and the borders turn into a shade of gray. I am interested in the 35% grey.
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to colour the border of a range of cells when another cell has data in it.
I can get it to color all the cells borders within that range when there's data in that cell but I just want the outside of the entire range.
I have this simple code which sets the objects format as default.
Private Sub FormatTextBox()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("FormatBox").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.SetShapesDefaultProperties
End Sub
Is there a way to set an objects shape to the default format...not as default?
ie: if the default line color is blue. what code could i use to set an object with a black line color, to the default blue?
What command I would use to change the text box border color, and set text border to visible or hidden?

I've got a wierd simple problem in Excel 2003. I have a laptop and a desktop machine, and I'm an accountant who uses the fixed decimal feature as a default, with it set to 2 decimal places.
On the desktop machine, if I input "23." into a cell and then hit enter, the value left in the cell is "23.00" However, on the laptop, when I do the same thing, I get "0.23" In essence, it ignores the fact that I entered a decimal point.
If I enter "23.0" in a sheet on the laptop, it puts "23.00" in the cell.
I thought maybe it was some sort of hardware thing, like the KB was messed up, but then I used remote desktop to try to see what would happen if I enter numbers into the other computer using the laptop, and into the laptop using the desktop. The laptop when connected to the desktop performed normally, just like the desktop machine. The desktop, when connected remotely to the laptop behved like the laptop machine. In other words, I believe this test takes Hardware out of the picture.
Which leaves some strange obsure setting in excel someplace tht is causing this behavior, and I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone here know why these two installs treat the data entry so differently? It's driving me nuts.
I have two arrows:
- Red Arrow points down to signify negative change
- Green Arrow points up to signify positive change
These arrows look exactly like the Excel 2007 conditional formatting arrows you would apply to a cell - the only difference is that I have inserted them as shapes so I can float them over a graph.
GOAL: Corresponding with the graph, if a cell shows a (+) change, then I display green arrow and hide red arrow. Vice versa for a (-) change.

I have one table with 0.5" cell widths. Good.
I have another table with 1.875" cell widths. Good.
I want both tables on the same page, one under the other. Hard.
How can I achieve this? Is there a way to have the column widths of one table independent of the other on the same page? Is there a workaround that would achieve the same effect?
I am doing a if else statement but I do not whats the keyword for getting the column width value
Eg

I have made a spread sheet where the row 1 - 20 are 12 wide but I'd like rows 20-25 to be a lot wider. I've looked around and can't find the solution since I don't know how to explain it in a few short words.

I would like to know if it's possible to change width of different cells in a single column? Example:
Width of cell A1 would be 10, and width of cell A2 would be 15. Can it be done? If yes how, if no damn. The reason I ask is because I trying to fit a report on one page with a chart and a month worth of data, but some cells are to long and they get cut off.
I've used the macro recorder to try to auto-apply column widths after I do a CSV import:
(A&B=3.14, C=8, D=13.57, E=24.14, F=9, G=10, H=11.29, I=8.57, J=6.86, K=8, L=13, M=10)

how I can fix the below code?
Sub SetColumnWidth()
Columns("A:B").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 3.14
Columns("C:C").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 8
Columns("D:D").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 13.57
Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 24.14

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a userform that is reusable by turning on and off diff objects, and reusing objects. I am running into a little difficulty of resizing the list box for various lengths if items Example would be if I have a list of items and the longest one is 93 chars long, I need a width of 672 When I have a list that the items are each 5 chars long, I need a listbox width of 92
For simplicity's sake, I am using Courier (supposed to be a monospaced font) pitch is 10. I would have figured that my width would be simply a matter of finding the longest length in the list and then multiply that times some magical number that represents the width of the letter (since monospaced, each letter should be the same).
But, with the 93 char long string, the "average length" of each letter seems to be 7.2 (672/93 = ~7.2) but for the shorter words, it seems to be wider at 18 (92/5 = ~18)
Is there a way to have the listbox size itself to the width of the strings?
Is there any way to measure the width of text in a cell in points? I know that the width of the cell is returned using the Width property.
I also know that the number of characters in the text can be returned using the LEN() function, but I don't believe the number of characters can be converted to points (because some characters are different widths, if I'm not mistaken)
Suppose I have the following UDF, which returns the width of the column, but when the column width change (increase or decrease), the UDF is not able to recalculate the column width...what should I do? .....
