Change Value Field Settings For Multiple Columns At Once
Aug 3, 2012
I have a big table with lots of columns for which I want a pivot to sum the data in the columns. Most likely because there are lot of blanks in the data Excel automatic makes a count of the data when I drag it into the pivot table. Now I have to change for each column one by one the Value field settings from count to sum. Is there a way to change the Value field settings for multiple columns at once from count to sum? If not can I somehow change the settings of the pivot table so default the Value field settings will be sum when I drag it into the pivot table?
I create a Pivot Table in Excel 2003, excel by default puts the field settings for each of the columns to Automatic, creating a Total for each aggreate column, which is very annoying.
I have to manually go in in each field and change field settings > None. for each column, since no copy and paste special function to make all the columns have same subtotal >none.
I often use the same file/pivot table for both month and weekly reporting. In my source data my field headers show 1,2,3,4..etc. This way I can use for month or weekly. But I often change the "Custom" name on the Field Value Settings to something more descriptive like "Jan" or "Week1"
The problem is that each time I update the the "Custom" name the Pivot Table auto refreshes and it takes forever to re-label all the columns.
Is there a way to suppress this refresh when updating the Custom Field Name?
In building my pivot table my data that I want to show in the column area is showing up as rows stacked on top of each other. In the column section I'm trying to show Total Budgeted Amount next to Total Actual Amount but on the layout it's showing the two stacked on top of each other is there some kind of hidden key that I'm missing?
how do i change the default settings in excel, for example when i open excel it shows numbers on both rows and columns and i want it to show letters on the colunms. i know how to change the r1c1 reference style but how do i get it to stay the way i want?
How can I change the default settings I get with a new Excel document?
What I want is that when I create a new Excel document, all cells should have Comic Sans MS font, Bold & size 10, with a particular horizontal and vertical alignment etc.
I am not able to do these changes using settings in Option menu.
Is there anyway to change the security settings in Excel 2007 using VB macros? I have tried to record the macro as I change the settings but nothings is recorded. Basically I have two workbooks, and I want to run one of the macros within workbook 1 from workbook 2. This is straight forward, however why I try to run it, excel says that the macros are disabled in the other workbook, but I know they are not, they are all enabled (bottom option)
I was hoping to find some way of fooling Excel into thinking the macros were enabled by changing the security settings (actually keeping them the same, but making excel think that i've changed them) before I try to the macro from the other sheet. I don't know if i've explained myself very well here, I hope I have, if not let me know and i'll try to go into more detail.
I am trying to change data vailidation settings on Sheet1 based on a state name provided on a separate worksheet (Sheet2). The below code is part of a macro that is assigned to a button on Sheet2. The issue is when the state name changes on Sheet2 and the button is pushed to initiate the macro to run, the state validation does not change on Sheet1.
Is there any way to change the settings in excel 2007, to give me the original color palate from 2003? I want to use the old colors because I don't like the new ones.
I have a range of cells ( C2, C5, C8:N1007, P8:P1007 ....) on a worksheet that I want to be able to clear the contents of through a macro - worksheet is entitled Database
I have 3 additional worksheets all of which have summary information on and some of the formulas are huge.
I've inserted a module and produced this code;
Sub ClearContents() Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Range("C2, C5, C8:N1007, P8:P1007, ....").ClearContents Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic End Sub
Because of all the 3 summary page formulas the code is taking a few seconds to run.
I'm new to VBA and just wondered whether I could switch the calculation setting for the entire workbook onto manual at the beginning of the code and then switch it back to automatic at the end of the code? Think this might speed things up.
I am trying to write a macro that will take data from column A and use it as a column header in column C, and then take the corresponding data in column B and list it under the column header in column C. When the value in column A changes it will move on to column D and then list the corresponding data from column B underneath it in column D until all of the data in the 2 columns is spread across the worksheet. Example:..............
The following line of VBA code executes properly if machine settings are US English, but throws a "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error" ? ...
I have a large spreadsheet that contains and employee number and then up to 5 entries of Dependants (each has its own column). What I need to do is have 1 for each of the dependant information instead of 5 and have multiple rows for the employee if they have more than one dependant.
At the moment I am sorting the data by dep 1 name, pasting the data into a new sheet, deleting all the dep 1 stuff, sorting by dep name 2 and pasting that.........etc.
It doesn’t take too long to do but I just wondered if there might be a quicker way as this will be something I will need to do more often.
I have about 100 different workbooks that all need to have the same format and page set up for printing. The different workbooks just all need to be setup to have landscape.
I'm creating an addin that will go on a shared server and be used by a number of different users. How do I go about being able to store user settings in a sheet on the addin if multiple users have different settings? Do I need to somehow make the addin read only?
I have the following code to check and see if the user enters a number into a specific column. If so, and if the number is too high, the routine will automatically lower it to an acceptable number. However, I am wondering, is there not a simpler way to do this, besides using a bunch of OR statements?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 2 Or Target.Column = 4 Or Target.Column = 6 Or Target.Column = 8 Or Target.Column = 10 Or Target.Column = 12 Then Application.EnableEvents = False If IsNumeric(Target.Value) = True And Target.Value >= 105.6 Then Target.Value = 105.4 End If Application.EnableEvents = True End If End Sub
This works just fine, but it seems kind of sloppy to me.
I was wondering if there might be a way to put the column numbers into an array, and then simply check if the Target column equals any number in the array. But I do not know how to do that without looping.
I am having trouble disabling the "Preview" button when calling Application.Dialogs(xldialogprint) in XL2003. I have an xlSheetVeryHidden worksheet containing a form which is made visible programatically when the user wishes to print a copy (code below). I want the user to be able to have access to the functionality of the xlDialogPrint dialog (i.e. select desired print destination, number of copies, pages per sheet etc.) but I also want to prevent them modifying the page setup of the protected worksheet by initiating a preview from the print dialog.
Private Sub btnPrintReturnForm_Click()
wbkRUSC.Unprotect sysPass 'unprotect workbook to enable changes to sheet visibility ' (sysPass is project constant string containing password)
shtStaffForm.Visible = xlSheetVisible 'make staff form visible
shtCalc.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden 'hide main calculator in case user gets smart and hits..............................
Excel 2007 - need to adjust protected view settings but the protected view tab is missing from my Trust Centre settings - have the following tabs - trusted publisher / location, add-ins, activeX, macro, message bar, external content and privacy options. Document is a revenue authority download and without being able to adjust the protected view settings, can't input data.
Is there any way how you can change value in page field in pivot table using formulas? I know this can be done with couple of lines of VBA, but I need to create VBA-free excel file.
I have a file, a portion is attached, where I want to paste the value of the formula (in this case, just that of the external data) once it has grabbed the data from an external source.
If the first time I open the file is Jan 15, I want it to grab the data in columns C, E and G from Jan 1 to Jan 14 and paste each cell's value in the same cell. Any data on Jan 15 or past Jan 15, I don't want the value (hasn't been collected yet).
If I open the file again on Jan 18, I need the data from Jan 15 to Jan 17.
I have this macro which works well for grabbing the data and pasting the value.
Right, I have tried everything I can do (which is not so much) to achieve the following. Can someone please help?
I have a worksheet with about 300 rows of data. The columns are headed Name | Division | Department and then 8 different scores and a total score). I have created 7 different worksheets with pivot tables on them to display each division.
Now, here is what I would like to do. Each Pivot table should show the Name and 1! of the scores next to it. That is simple enough and works. But how do I create a macro that allows me to change which score to display based on the content of cell A1. I.e. If I write Effort in A1 I want the pivot table to show Name | Effort score. If I write Complexity I want the pivot table to change to Name | Complexity score.
I have a vast amount of data entries in a pivot table (over 100). I want to create a pivot table but when I click on it it says 'count' and not 'sum'. It will take me a long time to change them all, how do I do it quickly? And possibly, without the 'sum of ....' in the label of it?
When i record a macro with an autofilter, the default setting is always "equals". Is there any VBA code or anything to be able to change so that my macro will search in a "contains" setting.
What I am trying to achieve using the example below:
ID Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 3 1 Italian French German 2 Italian Art Physics 3 German French Italian 4 French Italian German
the result:
Italian French German 3 Italian Art Physics 1
As in the example, the combinations of Italian, French and German where counted, irrelevant of whether the subjects are in 2nd, 3rd or 4th column.
I tried to do this task by creating a pivot table but there are so many permutations and subjects that it would take me a long time to add the combinations.
I have a spreadsheet with a few thousand rows, yeah i know..lol Each one of the rows has contact details for individuals. I have the address for each person in one field with up to four different sections, seperated by tabs. How do I go about seperating each part of the address so it is in a different column? I have tried text to columns, and it only seperates the first portion of the address, seperated by the delimiter 'tab'.
When i tried to drop another field into data field, by default, the new data field will appear below the field which was already in there. However, i would like the new field showing in an new column - horizontally - rather than showing in a new row.
For example: Rather than the Pivot table appear like this:
I have a Table with 2 columns "Due Date" and "Completed Date". The pivot table from the table gives the count of each column. I want to have a calculated column giving the % complete, ie. "Count of Completed"/"Completed Date"*100. When I attempt to create this formula (using Pivot Table Options > Fields Items and Sets > Calculated field), I get a DivZero error, even though both columns are not zero. How do I create such a calculated column?
I need a formula. Probably Vlookup. I'm having a LOT of trouble trying to figure out how to "phrase" the formula so let me explain what it is I'm trying to do. If a cell in Sheet 1 Column AS and a cell in Sheet 2 Column B match exactly, I want the cell in Sheet 2 Column C that is in the same row as the matched cell in Sheet 2 Column B to be copied into Sheet 1 Column BB in the same row as the matched cell in Sheet 1 Column AS.
For example, if cells in S1 Column AS and S2 Column B both have the name "LOS ANGELES" then "KLAX" will be copied from cell in S2 Column C (in same row as "LOS ANGELES") to S1 Column BB (in same row as "LOS ANGELES").
The VALUE field is my problem. I need a formula so that the value field takes the max of the other four columns and returns a string (e.g. 'A' in the column header)
