I am using VBA to change the attributes of Command Buttons on a number of pages and due to the numbers involved wanted to automate the process.
Unfortunately whilst I can select the buttons, changing the attributes I cannot get to work, e.g. For Command buttons CB1 and CB2
I have written a piece of code that changes the text in a button (the code is added to the click event of the button):

I have about 10 form buttons on top of one of my worksheets. Each one is attached to a macro that filters 10 pivot charts. All the macros work just fine, but it starts to get confusing what data is being represented. So, what I would like to do is have each button set to display as depressed (or similar) when its pushed using vba in each macro. That way, there will be no confusion as to what buttons (filters) people have pushed.
I have created two buttons in a worksheet to navigate to two other worksheets. I would like a cell to display 'YES' automatically if one of the two buttons is clicked and or to display 'NO'. I also would like to change the colors of these cells change automatically depending on which button is pressed.

The procedure below works for color only. Is there a way I can modify this procedure to include all cell attributes for each character in my target? I looked at the Font properties and couldn't find what I needed. Maybe I need to do it in a totally different way?

I have a list of user attributes which I would like to merge into a template. I have attached a copy of the template and a copy of the user attributes sheet. The attributes have been downloaded directly from a database so there is one attribute per line. For eg 1 user may have 5 cost centres assigned to him. I would like the 5 costs centres to show up under the template. The problem I have is the template is set up for one line per user with multiple fields for cost centres, therefore I need some way of taking the following output.
User Attribute Value
111 CC CA1023
111 CC CA1204
111 CC CA3333
And merging into the following template
User CC1 CC2 CC3
111 CA1023 CA1204 CA3333
Each user has multiple attributes (Cost centre, internal order, etc) I am only worried about the cost centre field for the time being. Also each user may have 0-10 cost centres assigned
First, to i change the attributes, select the appropriate cell or range and then choose Format, Cells. In the Format Cells dialog box, click the Protection tab and select Locked or Hidden (or both). Unlock cells that accept user input, and lock formula and other cells that should stay unchanged (such as titles). To prevent others from seeing your formulas, lock and hide the formula cells: The results of the formulas will be visible, but the formulas will not.
Now, to protect the worksheet, choose Tools, Protection, Protect Sheet to bring up the Protect Sheet dialog box. but its hideing the formulas. once i protect the cells it wont let me to edit the worsheet (eg- cell height, cell width)
1) What function can I use to replace a specific cell in spreadsheet 2 with what I type in a specific cell in spreadsheet 1 (e.g. type red in spreadsheet 1 in A1 and it will replace a blank cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 with red)? I have around a hundred spreadsheets which I need to name by typing a name in cell A1. Rather than doing this, I already have the names of the spreadsheets in a column.
2) Is there anyway to control the attributes of cells in another spreadsheet? E.g. change to bold, red and specific size font in cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 using cell A1 in spreadsheet 1.
Lets say that you have three cells. The contents of the cells are 1, 2, 3. The contents 1 and 2 have the strikethrough and 3 does not.
How can you perform a lookup from within another cell to find the cell whose content does not have the strike through? (This could also be a search based on finding the cell that does not have the red background etc...)
I'd like to sum up values based on certain cell attributes. Firstly, I don't know if it's possible to define cell attributes and how to do it. Let me put some example:
I have one column where I've put some values and I'd like to sum up the values only for certain cells in this column. In an "OOP approach" I'd use some grouping method based on attributes, so each cell would have an attribute called ID, for example, and I could select only the cell with some desired ID.
Are the 2 examples the correct methods to prevent right-click on Rows and Columns?
'Prevent Right Click on entire selected Row(s)
Application. CommandBars("Row").Enabled = False
'Prevent Right Click on entire selected Column(s)
Application.CommandBars("Column").Enabled = False
I have a list of items in a tab of a workbook that has attributes across the top, with an X in the intersection if the item has that attribute. For example:
Items:
Apple
Table
Paperclip
Attributes:
Red
Wood
Small
The Apple might have an "X" in the intersection of Red and Small, and the Table might only have an "X" in the intsersection with Wood.
I have another tab with five drop downs that can either be blank, or one of the attributes. I want to create a formula that will return the number of items in the list that have an "X" for all the attributes selected in the drop down. Therefore if I selected only "Small" and left the other four blank, the formula might return 2, and if I then select the next drop down and select "Red" the formula would now return 1.
Any thoughts of how I could accomplish this? I am thinking of using a SUMPRODUCT and some sort of Index Match to find the value in the cells selected by the drop down. It seems like Index only returns a row though, and not a column.
I'm helping out a community that puts out a role playing game by making a character sheet for their gaming system. It's normally a pen-and-paper type affair, but a few people have reached out to me and asked me to make it. Now, one thing that I really thought would be nifty would be to make it persistent. I know of the Excel basics, creating basic formulas and the such, but this is where I hit a brick wall.
For the character sheet, they normally have basic attributes on a 1-20 scale. These attributes are accomanied by a bonus. The only thing is those, while these bonuses go across a linear path (For attribute 1, it's -30, for 2 its -20, for 3 its -10, for 4 its -5 for 5 its 0....), I cant seem to figure out how to create some kind of If/Then formula for it....
Heres my example:
Brad makes a character that has a score of 9 for one of his attributes. The bonus given to someone with a 9 is a +10. What I'm looking to do is create a table that sees that 'If (c9)=9, Then (d9)=+10'...
And my second related issue...
Is there any possible way to do the above mentioned formula in relation to a drop down selection bar? It's the same thing here; To break it down simply, It would be excellent if there was a way for it to say If (a10)=Warrior, then (c10)= +10.
I want to do in VBA is to be able to read and place in a variable the image Width and Height of an image in a folder. I can (with help from here) read the filenames in folder. But is there a way in Excel to read the above attibutes?
View 12 Replies View RelatedHow to access the full set of attributes of a control when grouped?
I am trying to access the properties of a grouped set of checkboxes (for grouped I mean selected and right click - > Group)
It appears that grouped controls are not accessible through OLEObjects() but they can be accessed as shapes. For example, the following code will set all elements in the group Advertisement2 to .Visibility = False:
For Each T In ActiveSheet.Shapes("Advertisement2").GroupItems
T.Visible = True
Next
However, most other properties, such as .Enabled or .Value are not accessible (probably because the controls are considered shapes).
I have tried all sort of solutions, including using
.groupItems("ControlName").Value
or
.groupItems("ControlName").Object.Value
I am trying to take items with multiple market attributes and columnized them so that they can be sorted or filtered.
For example,
Item 110 is suitable for Preteen, Teen, Young Adult, Adult and Senior
Item 121 is suitable for Teen and Young Adult
Item 250 is suitable for Senior
Item 300 is suitable for Young Adult, Adult and Senior
I want to be able to arrange the attributes vertically so that the attributes can be filtered. I'm thinking the easiest way to do it is to duplicate each row as many time as there are attributes and copy each attributes to a single Market column.
My company would receive RFQs from potential customers inquiring the availability of different products, and we are trying to summarise these requests to find a trend.
Each product has several attributes, such as descriptions, keywords, manufacturer's code, etc. The RFQs are all different, with each request providing some attributes while missing others. The only reliably uniform attribute is the product number.
I am trying to build a database with the maximum amount of details on each requested product, therefore consolidating the different requests. I already put the source data on the same sheet and sorted the product numbers. I also know how many instances there are for each product number. In other words, my data look like this:
Product number (sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
[Code] .........
Note:
1. The product numbers and repeat count are reliable
2. All the attributes are valid, i.e. as long as one can fill a blank I would take it
3. If none of the instances provide a certain attribute, it is acceptable for it to be left blank
And I am trying to turn it into this:
Product number
(sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
bbbb
123456
1
abcde
100x
3
123456

I already spent a whole day trying to do it with MATCH, OFFSET, VLOOKUP etc to no avail. It seems I would need some kind of VBS with loop and array functionalities that are beyond me.
I have one workbook which when a macro is run, creates a new workbook. I am trying to then get this new workbook to have both "ReadOnly" and "Hidden" status. but when I use Set attr it only picks up one.
I need to be able to turn of the readonly status and update the file and then re protect it.
Sorry that I'm very new in Excel VBA coder. And, for this topic, I don't even know how to start. I want to make a MS Excel database of a numerous files. This database must be consist of Filename, Location, and it's attribute (let's say updated date, size, hidden status)

I received this code from an example I found once upon a time that was originally submitted by someone else. Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA.
Sub Process_CheckBox()
Dim cBox As CheckBox
Dim LRow As Integer
Dim LRange As String
LName = Application.Caller
Set cBox = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(LName)
' Find row that checkbox resides in
LRow = cBox.TopLeftCell.Row
LRange = "B" & CStr(LRow)
'Change date in column B, if checkbox is checked
If cBox.Value > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date
'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null
End If
End Sub
Here is some other code I already created. Unfortunately, because I don't know how to do the row reference, I had to create 25 different macros, which just bulks up the size of my file and slows it down. But here is what I'm trying to accomplish in my macro:.............
I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range
[Code]....
However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.
i want to create a save button in sheet 1, on clicking the same the data entered in the particluar cells of sheet 1 should get saved in sheet 2 in given format
View 1 Replies View RelatedContext: I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of employee names and their certifications. I want to be able to assign a button to each employee in column B with a macro that is able to zip files from a folder that contains that employees name.
The following code assigns buttons to each employee in column B. At the moment the code I have is able to assign the macro "Zip" to each button.
[Code] .....
Now, this Zip macro is able to zip the file for the employee "Anthony Tran". However I need it to be able to recognise which employee's button I've clicked and search the same files as above except with that employees name instead of "Anthony Tran".
If it makes things easier, the code for creating buttons for each employee is able to name that button as the employees name that it represents.
This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
