Change And Show Letter With F9 Or Random Or Any Formula
Jun 7, 2009
I just want to show a letter and change it to any letter and show it again in seconds. Can it be done with formula, maybe with RAND formula or any other formula.
for example when i press F9 the letter A change B, and then i press F9, it changed to C, and then when i press F9 and it changed to A again, and i press F9 and it changed to B, and so on...
(Is it possible too..with a little variation if i press F9 continually, it changed every 5 second?)

I have 1200 doctor/patient records to input into an excel spreadsheet for import to an online EHR database. I can set up all the normal formulas and formatting but for the life of me not figure out how to create a custom formula to take the first letter of the patient first name and last name and add 6 figures to create a unique patient identifier.
ie. James + Smith+ random 6 figures = JS245318.
In my spreadsheet the first name is under Column 1, Last name Column 3 and the unique number generated in column 4.

I was wondering whether it is possible to find a formula in Excel that would extract (using RIGHT formula) surname from Name Surname cell despite surname lenght i.e.:
'John Smith' in one cell would give 'Smith' in the other
'Tom Let' in one cell would give 'Let' in the other
I have tried to combine RIGHT, FIND and PROPER (for upper case) in one formula but it does not work.

I'm working through a huge file and trying to compact it down and make it more workable. I've already managed to get it down to what i need but i now need to add a few things so others can work it more easily also.
One of the ideas i had was the following, but for the life of me i dont know where to start.
The spreadsheet will be updated on a daily basis and at the end of each week we will need to submit any changes we've made to the marketing team.
However the change tracker thats built into excel isn't really what i want.
What i though was i should set up an IF formula that would return a True value if any data in that row was changed.
Then i could set up a macro to copy those rows only to a new sheet to be sent to the marketing team, this way the structure of the spreadsheet would be kept to make it easier for them.

I have come accross this calendar online and it suits my requirements, however, the month s currently static and the year is dynamically controlled by a spin button.
The formulas in the relevent days are as follows
Day 1 =IF(AND(YEAR(JanOffset+1)=calendarYear,MONTH(JanOffset+1)=1),JanOffset+1,"")
Day 2 =IF(AND(YEAR(JanOffset+2)=calendarYear,MONTH(JanOffset+2)=1),JanOffset+2,"")
and so on, I need the formula and the spin button the also change the month as well as the year.
Please see attached file for details.

I don't know what formula to use to do the following:
In Column E there are cells which contain numbers which fall between 0 and 400. What I am trying to do in column F is show the a letter (E, D, C, B, A, A*) if the number in column E fall between a range.
For example:
If column/row E2 is between 160 and 199 it equals E, if column/row E2 is between 200 and 239 it equals D, if coulmn/row E2 is between 240 and 279 it equals C etc etc....

I am trying to allow users to select a file, and then the file name/ the file path / and date are added.
Right now, all those functions work in the following code, but the file path shows up as a letter drive. As there could be upwards of 50 people using this file and the mapped drive could be different, i wanted the full path to be displayed.
Code:
Private Sub File_1_overwrite_Click()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim filename1 As Variant
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select Programme")
filename1 = filename
filename1 = Mid(filename, InStrRev(filename, "") + 1)
File_1_link = filename
file_1_name = filename1
File_1_date = Format(Date, "MM/DD/YY")

i need a formula for a sign in sheet for the academy i work at. we have night and day classes of the same sessions, in the planner they are listed as d1, d2 d3 and n1 n2 n3 and so on for each.
so basically im trying to create a formula to quickly ender the d1, d2, d3 ect into the cells on eachpage for the students to sign in for each day it works out to be about 190 calls and 9 diferent classes to you can see why id like to speed this up. problem is i need the number to change not the D and excel want to use the cell allocation.
as you can see from the document i have not attatched, i have created a formula to add in the dates automatically, i would like to do the same with the session numbers or the D numbers, this is one of the shorter courses and has about 190 days

how to allow both these codes to work on say sheet 1. I can get one to work just fine. So, any tips on how to get them both to work on the same sheet would be great.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, .Range("n1:n200")) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "S" Or Target = "s" Then Target = "Submitted"
If Target = "A" Or Target = "a" Then Target = "Approved"
If Target = "I" Or Target = "i" Then Target = "Investgating"
Else
End If
End With
End Sub
and this,.............

I have a random Generator but it only generates values that are different, is it possible to change a line of code to allow it to duplicate the same number? Here is the code I have and it works great but not for duplication:

Dim flag As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim foundCell As Range

y = Application.InputBox("Enter ending Random Number" _

I am working on a spreadsheet for work, and have managed to do everything I need to so far but I need to colour specific letter strings, certain colours within a range of cells (each letter string will only appear once on each sheet)
The strings I will be looking for vary depending on data entered so I will need to cell reference them
The strings that need colouring are in cells with other strings that must stay black (They cannot be separated from other strings due to the nature of the grid)
I need some strings red, some green, and some blue.
These changes should also apply to the whole workbook not just one sheet.
Is there a way to do this with the VBA code.

I am trying to make a puzzle and use excel to verify I have done it correctly.
What I want to do is when I type a letter in a specific cell have it put a number value in another cell automatically. For instance, if I type the letter "a" in cell A1 I would like the number 60 to populate automatically in cell B1. I want to give each letter in the alphabet a numeric value so I can type a message in the A column and then auto sum the results of the numbers in the B column.

For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")

I am trying to make a formula which will tell me if A1 is a postcode (a letter and a number e.g CV42 6AQ)
In the A column, it looks like this:
CV42 6AQ
FC45 D4D
West yorkshire
PR42 6RD
Etc.
i want it to identify all the postcodes, and NOT "West Yorkshire" because it does not contain a number.

I'm trying to set a data validation in B1 from values in A1:A5.
A1: Car
A2: Papers
A3: Pencil
A4: Pants
A5: Shoes
What I want is show in dropdown list the words in singular (without the "s" at the end).
The formula below works if I introduce it in a normal cell,
[Code]....
or as array formula with CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER in this way
[Code] .....
But I get the message that the formula has error when I introduce any of both in "Validation Criteria"-->Allow "List"-->Source.

Is there a function that will output the column letter? For example there's one I know of: =COLUMN(), which outputs column number, but not the letter. And if not, can a formula be written to output it without converting the spreadsheet to R1C1 style or using the lookup function that refers to a separate table within the spreadsheet?
