Change Active Cell After Hyperlink Clicked


I have a column with entrys of 2 kinds. Some being Hyperlinks and others with normal type data. All cells are locked with password except for cells that will possibly have entrys made in them.

Is there a way to move the active cell to R1C1 after any hyperlink clicked? R1C1 is unlocked.

Log Number Of Times A Hyperlink Cell Is Clicked
I have a spreadsheet with contact information in it. I am trying to figure out a way to count how many times I click a contacts email address, then tally it in a weekly log. The end result will be a page that totals how many emails I sent each week for the year based on the number of clicks I have made to the spreadsheet.
Ideally I would also like to log the number of times the phone number is clicked too, but I am unsure how to make the phone number a live cell.

Change Cell Colour When Clicked
I've found a great thread that answered part of my problem (Change colour of text on update of cell)

This code changes the colour of a cell when selected. With the application I'm trying to make I need this effect to only occur in a certain area say A10:D30

I'm trying to make a scheduling page that uses timebars to represent when people are working. I though if a user could click or highlight the hours and a time bar produced I could lookup to see what hour the timebar starts and ends and show the hours worked. I also need it to cycle through 5 different colours before returning to white.

Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)

target.Interior.ColorIndex = 4

End Sub

Create Hyperlink In Active Cell
I'm running Excel 2003 and I'm looking for assistance with programmatically creating hyperlinks. I have to update a Shared Workbook on a weekly basis. The cells in column D contain a catalog id and I need to create a hyperlink that includes this id in the url.

What I want to do is insert a new row, enter the catalog id and then create a hyperlink that contains the id. Additionally, the text to display has to be the 8 digit id. Here is an example of the hyperlink.

Use Active Cell To Create Hyperlink
I am trying to use an active cell (i.e. "Sheet2!E7") which always changes, to create a hyperlink on a different sheet to that particular cell. What is happening is I have a master list of current open POs. On a separate sheet I have the PO listed in greater detail. I want the PO number on my master list to have a hyperlink that brings you to my detailed PO on another sheet. Simply, I need a way to turn my active cell into text (not the contents, but the cell itself).

Hyperlink To Closed Files Display Error When Clicked
I am automatically generating a hyperlink to another document. The link that generates is: (I don't know if this qualifies as code, but I'll tag it anyhow...)

06-09-05 0000020 Name/06-09-05 0000020 Name.xls# 'Notes'A5

with 06-09-05 0000020 Name as a directory off the current App.path, and 06-09-05 0000020 Name.xls being the name of the file in the directory. It does have a sheet called "Notes". The thing of it is, the hyperlink takes me to the right place, it just gives me an error message every time saying "Reference not valid". How can it be taking me to the right place, and still giving me the error?

Change Active Cell Color According To Name Above
Here is a screen shot of what I have:

I want to be able to enter the name from the above 4 cells (B3,B4,B5,B6) IN THAT COLUMN, and have the active cell change color accordingly.

If I am in cell C7 and start to type "PUBLIX" It should turn red in color. It does not because the code looks to a specific cell (example: B3). What can I change in my code to give the results I desire?

I have conditional formatting code below I copied from THIS site:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Multiple Conditional Format
Dim rng As Range
' Only look at single cell changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
' Adjust Format range to suit
Set rng = Range("B7:H74")
' Only look at that range
If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' Adjust conditions to suit
Select Case Target.Value
Case Range("B6").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 50 ' Green
Case Range("B5").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 3 ' Blue
' Case "Super"
' Target.Font.ColorIndex = 6 ' Yellow
Case Range("B4").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 13 ' Purple-ish
Case Range("B3").Value
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 5 ' Red
' Case "Corporate"

Change Active Cell Value On The Fly
I need to input a long list of steel sections in Excel. The steel sections have names like HEA200, HEA120, HEB 400, HEM300 etc.

I was thinking that this could be done easier by using codes for the section prefixes (HEA,HEB, HEM etc) and that the cell value would change automatically.

HEA=1
HEB=2
HEM=3
HD=4
UNP=5
etc.

For example:

I input "1100" - this would change on the fly to HEA100
I input "2200" - this would change on the fly to HEB200
I input "5200" - this would change on the fly to UNP200

I know I could do this by using a lookup function in another cell, but I want it all to happen in the same cell.

strClick1default = Range("c51").Value
strClick1 = InputBox("Paste the weblink for the trace, or accept the default, and press OK to initiate the trace.", "ClickTrace", strClick1default)
Range("c51").Value = strClick1
If vbOK Then
With WEBPAGE

Worksheet Change Hyperlink
I have a question regarding hyperlinks...now what i wish to do is force a hyperlink in what i thoguht would be esily dne in a worksheet change event...hw wrong was i.

Lets say i type 'test' in A1 and press enter...now because i ave pressed enter A1 is no longer the active cell so the code in the sheet change event inserts the code into A2 but because A is blank the 'Text to display' becomes the hyperlinks address.

I wrote a simple with/ end with thinking it would work but it doesnt because of the issue above (Hope i am making sense here)

I got round it by copying the activecell (which would be the cell underneath) and pasting it back to the original target cell, which because it contains text does what i wantbut i am hoping for a much cleaner solution.....

My target column is '1' and only one i will just need to exit the sub anywhere else on the sheet

When A Cell Is Clicked The Row Also Highlights - But How
I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.

This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!

How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?

btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!

Add Clicked Cell Value To Formula
The idea is that once macro is started it will add the value of any clicked cell into the formula of the original cell.
ie.
1.start macro
2.click cell a5 (value=36)
3.type '+'
4.click cell b7 (value=21)
5.click enter to end macro
Result will be '=36+21' in the formula bar. The cell will then show the answer 57.

Cell Reference From Clicked Button
There was a similar question I found answered in the archives. However the solution given there (using ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.xxx) does not work in my case.

A little googling and I think the reason is that I added my buttons from the toolbar and not from the forms editor. My buttons are in the OLEObjects collection, not in Buttons.

So how do I determine which of my OLEObjects was clicked? Is there something similar to "Application.Caller"?

Override The Data In The Cell When Checkbox Is Clicked
i am working on a spreadsheet that is doing two things 1) its allowing the user to choose between 1 to 3 number or N/A from the list validation option and 2) there is a checkbox if one selects that all the columns that have the formula will become N/A irrespect of data in it. I am using the following formula in the list validation option a3 is the check boc.

E5 =1
E6= 2
E7 = 3
E8=N/A

=if(a3=true, $E$8, $E$5:$E$8)

The issue I am having with this is, if I start selecting something from the drop down and half way I realize I need to check the box, it will only make it E8 value for the cells I have not touched and the ones I have already selected the drop down value it will remain. However I want it to override the value to E8 irrespect.

1) If the user of the spreadsheet clicks on the check box (this is in A3 cell) which i have linked it using format control then all the cell (Column E) that have the formula =if(A3=True, "N/A", ) will have N/A which is not applicable and not an error as you mentioned. I have successfully implemented this

2) If the user does not select the check box (a3) then each of the cell (Column E) has a drop down which the user can select either 1,2,3 or N/A. Which I have successfully implemented by using the data validations. Now the struggle I am having is as follows: I have attached the spreadsheet for your reference too.

Now if I select number 2 in cell E10, 2 in cell E11 and 3 in cell E 13 and you can see alll the other cell in column E are 0, because of the formula and the box in A3 is not checked in Tab 1. In Tab 2 I have checked the box everything turned N/A in column E except cells E10, E11 and E13 because I had previously selected 2,2,3 respectively. This is not what I want, what I want is when I check that box everything should turn to N/A basically an override function is what I want to created.

Change/Modify/Add Text In Shape On Non-Active Worksheet
I have a button on say, sheet1 with text that I want to change after a certain action takes place; however, I was trying to change this text without switching sheets. (switching sheets isn't a big deal, I'm mainly trying to do it my way for the practice). I'm able to select the button on the other sheet without actually switching sheets, but when it comes to changing it's text I get an error. Here is the code I tried:

Sub macro1 ()
Worksheets("sheet2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 2").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "Done"
End Sub

Problem with this is it gives cell A1 on sheet2 the "done" text. I also tried this...but it gives the error.

Worksheets("sheet2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1").Select

Hyperlink Address From Hyperlink Formula/Function
I am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet.

I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.

Identify Active Cell And Use The Column To Add Formula To Another Cell
I have a range of unlocked cells (B5:S10) that users enter data in. This sum of this data is then charted. The formula (sum) in a cell equals zero even when there is no data entered by the user. This zero is then charted.

I need to be able to plot the zeros if the user enters zeros but not plot the zero if the cells are blank.

What I was attempting to do is to use the worksheet change event to add the formulas to a cell so that the chart does not plot the value until something was added.

In my change event I need to know that a cell in the range (B5:S10) was changed and that if it was D7 (for example) that I need a formula enterd in D11 [=SUM(D5:D10)]. If it was I5 then the formula would have to go in I11 [=SUM(I5:I10)].
