Changing Column Data Based On Another Columns Focus
Mar 4, 2014
I have 1 sheet called Setup which users enter their character name, their class, and their race, additionally the entire workbook manages data for up to 9 individual characters.
On another sheet called C|R|E, I have tasks listed that are based on each class type and each race type that are available. Currently there are nine classes and four races. Currently on this sheet each class and each race has its own individual data lists and such, and formulas are done in a way that user inputted data can be entered anywhere, but wont count unless the class and race match those selected on the Setup sheet. To keep the sheet short in appearance I used command buttons to hide/unhide classes or races not in use by the user.
What I was wondering is (and this could be hard to describe), can data in one column be changed to reflect data based on another column's focus? I will explain in more detail.
Column B contains the task information for each Class and Race. For example Cells B13-B51 for one class, Burglar. Columns D-L is where users enter data to show if the task is completed or not. In this example lets say the users first character listed on the Setup sheet is a Champion. What I want to do is check the Setup sheet Char 1. Then based on what Char 1 is selected as on the Setup Sheet, C|R|E B13-B51 data is changed to reflect it, IF Column D currently has focus. If Column E gets focus then B13-B51 changes based on the class selected on the setup sheet for character 2. and etc.
If this can be done I can remove the 13 different sections and have it down to 2 sections, one for class, one for race. For now I am using check boxes to hide classes and races they are not currently using, but would like to move all classes into one table and all races into one table to they dont have trouble with columns they have to skip over currently.
This is a sample of how I am currently working on the C|R|E sheet, the full code is much much longer since I am using so many command buttons.
I am trying to create a sheet on docs.google.com that takes the sum of 1 row divided by the sum of another row removing numbers from the denominator if fields are left blank. Hard for me to explain so here is an example:
Counter Column 2 Column 3
[Code]....
Leaving a blank value in column 2 makes it read 4/6 giving me 66%, Column 3 giving me 50%.
What I would like it to do is if there is a blank value in any column remove column one from the denominator.
Upon completion the total output percentage for column 2 should be 100%, and column 3 should be 75%.
I have 3 workbooks in XLStart. I want to change the workbook that gets the focus after they are all open. The workbook i want to have focus is DG_Tourny.xls
I'm trying to hide columns based on information in another column. If that column contains "A" or "B", hide columns "U" through "W". If it contains "A", "B", "C", or "D", hide columns "V" through "W". Etc, etc., so on and so forth...
I've snipped the code I found earlier and modified it to (what I thought) was correct for my application, but it doesn't seem to do anything. (btw, should I get an error if it doesn't run correctly?)
Here is the code as modified:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "P:P" Then
If LCase(Target.Value) = "A" Or LCase(Target.Value) = "B" Then
Columns("U:W").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ElseIf LCase(Target.Value) = "A" Or LCase(Target.Value) = "B" Or LCase(Target.Value) = "C" Or LCase(Target.Value) = "D" Then
In the sheet I'm currently working on I have a column (column C) that uses a validation so that users can select from a number of call types (data tracking in a call center). I allowed for an "Other" option, with a free-form column (column D) dedicated to the "other" reason in case the list doesn't cover the type, but I'm running into a problem where people use the other column to describe call types already listed. Is there anyway to lock the Other column (column D) unless Other is selected in the drop down in the Call Type column (column C)? The sheet I'm working with contains confidential data so I can't post it, but if this isn't clear enough I can draw up a mock sheet.
What I would like to do with it is fill in row D7 to AH7 with this formula without changing the row reference in the IF function, only the column reference.
On the Activity_Log worksheet, my data is listed from cell C2:C32, which is selected from a drop down list, and F2:F32, which contains the formula =(E2-D2)*24.
I've attached a sample : Sample_MonthlyReport.xlsx
I have a sheet which I need to arrange and it looks like -
Column A Column B Column C Column D
[Code]...
the values in Column B, C , D , E & F need to be in new columns based on what we have in Column A associated with "1"
Output should be - Column A Column B Column C
[Code]....
so whatever is in Column A associated with "0" should remain in place whereas whatever is in Colimn A associated with "1" should get added to the new columns. 0 and 1 resembles the 1 Records which are used as a split to normalize the data.
I have a worksheet with data in columns F,G,H and I. There is a total in column J. (=SUM(F1:I1)
I've written some code that allows a user to insert additional columns. However, I'm finding it difficult to find a way of changing the calculation in the total column automatically when a new column is inserted.
way to take a long list of the following data and change it from rows to columns?
First name Last name Address City, State Zip code
First name Last name Address City, State Zip code
That is how the data is currently displayed, spaces inbetween as shown but, long list of names and addresses. There is also an occasional 4th line usually for an address. My instructions are to put data in the following format:
Based on the attached (much simplified) spreadsheet, I want the values in the green cells on the "Month" page (B6:B10) to vary depending on the value in the yellow cell (B4), and for these cells to to look up the relevant column in the "Full Year" page - i.e. if B4 (on "Month") = Jan, look up C6:C10 in "Full Year"; if B4 = Feb, look up D6:D10, and so on. I know I can nest IF functions in order to achieve this, but could be a bit messy. I'm sure there must be a simpler formula within Excel ... just don't know what it's called!
I am pasting vlookup formulas into a spreadsheet using a macro, and want to change the reference column number based on a variable generated within the code eg
= vlookup(RC1,table,i,false) where i is a predetermined variable in the code
Is it possible to format a row of cells (B7:KX7) depending on the value in column (G7:G1000) changing?
For example column G might have the following value entered into them.
A A A B B B C C C
So all the rows containing the letter A would be formatted one colour, then it would notice it changed to B and format all the rows with the letter B in, then C etc... The letters would always appear in blocks of 10 or more (representing students in a group) so it wouldn't go A,B,A,B,C,D,E
I am not bothered about the letter being tied to a certain colour, it just needs to change when the letter changes. I'd have no more than 10 different variables in this column, meaning no more than 10 different colours to format. Formatting would be black text with different coloured backgrounds.
I'm trying to update a series of different sheets in a book based on what month I have filled in data for. For example, at September Month End, I will fill in data vertically. Now, I have different tabs that reference certain cells in that column. There row number never changes, but once a month I have to go through and increase their column letters by 1, and there are a lot of places to update. Can anyone lend me some ideas or a solution to how I should go about using formula/macro to update these cells.
I am attempting to concatenate the dept numbers for each user in a list. For example, the first user listed below is associated with 6 depts. I would like the resulting macro to concatenate the dept's into one cell next to the Name.
Below is an example with the solution I am attempting to produce.
Sample Table
Name Dept
Abbruzzese,James L 188100
[Code] ......
Output
Name Dept
Abbruzzese,James L 188100, 231100, 600377, 600656, 600663, 600708
I would like to automatically color fill a series of rows based on like information from a single column. When the information in the column changes then the rows would either stop filling (this would be best) or fill with a different color until the information changes again.
Summary: series of alternating rows would either be filled or unfilled based on changes from the column information.
Hope this isn't too confusing. Below is an example except I would want the cells filled, not the text or numbers to change. The highlight is changing based on the changing of the numbers.
I'm having a little trouble figuring out what formula to use for situation. I have 5 columns of information.
Column A = School # of current school Column B = School 1 Name Column C = School 2 Name Column D = School 3 Name Column E = School 4 Name
What I want to do is in Column F to look through a row of information and find the current school.
So: If A="1", pull from B If A="2", pull from C If A="3", pull from D If A="4", pull from E
I tried doing a VLOOKUP table, but I think I'd have to do one for every row, but I could be wrong. I also thought of INDEX(MATCH), but I couldn't quite figure it out.
Changing the data based on a drop down selection. My drop down list is based on the months I need the data (percentages for each person) to change depending on which month is chosen. So If I select Jan, the percentage fills in for each person. I've attached an example.
I'm facing a charting problem and i can not find any solution with a search here, anyway this is the problem: When I choose a week I would like to see the results of the 5 previous week also.
I have a worksheet called "zz_Exchange" that contains the exchange rate for my company for each month of the financial year. I am using this info in a summary page that uses the data for multiple calculations in the workbook.As we pass each month I would like to move the focus of a cell in the summary sheet to the relevant month in "zz_Exchange"
The column names are "currency_code" (USA Euro etc), "currency_year" (09, 10) "period" (1-12) "exchange_rate" (this is where the data is held)
why is pivot table changing numbers to dates. It was fine all along, numbers retained the fromat of source data and now, all numbers in field columns are turning into dates. is there a setting I can change to prevent excel from reformatting numbers to dates?
This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.
I am trying to create a worksheet_change event that will prevent a user from changing or deleting data in the totals column of my worksheet yet allow them to insert rows and delete rows on the worksheet. I have a few issues I can't get resolved. First, if I delete a row and then click the undo message, I get my error message about trying to change the totals. Second, I cannot copy and insert copied rows. I can only insert blank rows. Here's my code and data.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Static lngRow As Long Dim iStrtRow As Integer, iEndRow As Integer, rRowMrkr As Range
[Code]....
Defined range names: "Header" in cell A1 and "Totals" in cell A12
Column A | Column B | Column C Los Angeles | Fire Dept | 3 Los Angeles | Health Services | 12 New York | Fire Dept | 8 New York | Health Services | 22 New York | Internal Services | 100 New York | Public Works | 7 Chicago | Health Services | 15 Chicago | Public Works | 56 Chicago | Social Services | 4
And I am trying to make it look like this:
Fire Dept Health Services Internal Services Public Works Social Services
I have the following code to update a pivot table:
Code: Dim pt As PivotTable Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled For Each pt In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").PivotTables pt.ChangePivotCache ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create _ (SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:="source!R4C1:R33443C55" _ , Version:=xlPivotTableVersion10)
Next pt
the R33443 term is what will be changing, the columns and the starting row should stay the same. is there a way to instead of using R33443, to enable the range to be changed based on a cell value?
I have a worksheet with 20+ columns. For this macro, I only need to focus on 4 of them. However, none of these columns are ever in a fixed position so the macro would need to find them by name and NOT by column position. Here they are...
1. Vacation Type (will only have a text value of either "Cold" or "Warm")
2. Vacation Started (will always have a date *x/xx/xxxx)
3. Vacation Ended (sometimes it will have a date '*x/xx/xxxx' and sometimes it will NOT have a date and will be truly blank)
4. Number of Days (currently has ALL truly blank cells)
THIS WHOLE MACRO SHOULD NOT BE CASE SENSITIVE ANYWHERE
Here's what I would like the macro to do...
Scenario 1 - for "Cold" values Find "Cold" text values in the "Vacation Type" column
"Cold" values WITH a date in the "Vacation Ended" columnIF there IS a date in the "Vacation Ended" column in the same row, put the number of days difference between the "Vacation Started" column and "Vacation Ended" column in the "Number of Days" column.
The amount of days in the "Number of Days" column will determine whether these cells should be highlighted GREY or RED.
Scenario 1-AIF the number of days difference is 7 days or less, highlight the cells in the "Vacation Ended" column and "Number of Days" column RED.
OR… Scenario 1-BIF the number of days difference is MORE than 7 days, highlight the cells in the "Vacation Ended" column and "Number of Days" column GREY..................................
I have a problem when i need to save an excel workbook. I have 7 sheets, and in one of these (sheet3) i make 3 data validating list, based an if formula.
in cell C9 (sheet3) i make a data validation list where i tiped =IF($D$8="Turism",Norma_poluare,Norma_poluare2) in cell C10 (sheet3) i make a data validation list where i tiped =IF($D$8="Turism",Cilindree,$A$1) in cell C11 (sheet3) i make a data validation list where i tiped =IF($D$8="Turism",Emisii_CO2,$A$1)
The "Norma_poluare","Norma_poluare2" tabels are in sheet 4 and the "Cilindree","Emisii_CO2" tabels are in sheet 5.
When i need to save the excel document, i must have open sheet 3, othewise excel returns me an error "One or more cells in this workbook contains data validation rules which refer to values on other worksheets.These data validation will not be saved". So I thought that before saving date, automatically to shift focul to sheet3, and after these excel to save the data. VB code for these problem.
