Changing Cell For String Value
Oct 26, 2009
I have a macro to make a chart, and I am trying to tweak it so that it will assign the appropriate labels to the axes. I have the macro set up so that all I have to do is pick the two rows that I want plotted against one another, and it then makes separate series in those rows for each data point. I am trying to make it so that it will also pick the value of the axis from the A column. The code I have been trying is:.....................

I have a string that may consist of one, two or three digits. If it has one digit, I want to append two zeroes to the left of it. If it has two digits, I want to append one zero to the left of it. The string is titled "Result". In this case, the original string was "64" and I wanted to change it to "064".
I tried this, to no avail:
If Len(Result) = 2 Then
zero = 0
Result = (zero & Result)
MsgBox ("The new value for result is " & Result)
End If
-----------------------
How can I alter the value of a string depending up its length (in this case)?
If I use a new variable, the transfer of value works okay, as so:
If Len(Result) = 2 Then
zero = 0
Result1 = (zero & Result)
MsgBox ("The new value for result is " & Result1)
End If
-----------------------

I have a conditional formula which populates a string depending on the value selected by user.
E.G of formula is:- =IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON - MANDATORY",""))
Where the result is "CONTACT PERSON - MANDATORY" then I want the word MANDATORY (not the whole string) to be displayed in RED.

I have a conditional formula which gives a value based on what the User specifies.
Example of formula is:
=IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY",""))
If the result of the string is " CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY " then
- word MANDATORY (not the whole string) should be in RED
- words (FINANCE ONLY) should be in BLUE
- remaining string should be left in BLANK
Not intending to use VBA. Is this possible?

I'm taking some university classes and one of them is called Applications Programming and we have been using excel VBA. I have a project that I'm working on, and it's very basic. Basically we need to create a userform that has 3 option buttons, 4 check boxes, a couple labels and a couple text boxes. It's suppose to be a ice cream selection terminal. Option boxes for basic flavors of ice cream, check boxes for toppings, one text box for user input of number of scoops of ice cream and the last text box to output a reciept/overview of purchase.
So here's the question... I was wondering if there's a way to change the font of a single string variable, or change the font of a word within a string. My output to the saleBox(My receipt overview) is this:
saleBox.Text = ("Thanks you for your Purchase") & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"You ordered " & numOfScoop & " scoops of " & flavorChoice & "ice cream" & vbCrLf & _ "Topped with: " & toppings & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & total
(not sure how the code is gonna look in the message but I'm sure you get the idea)
i want to be able to change the font for the flavorChoice or toppings variables. They are both strings.
Anyways, I know I can get away with basically what I have there and get full marks, but I like going above what the basics are. If it's kinda complicated.
I'm gonna attach a screenshot, more info is better than not enough right... nevermind its askin for a url!
*** I just now got the idea of putting another textbox over the area that would output the text I want to change and hide the border or something and then change the font of that text box through the properties ***

I have text strings consisting of about 500 letters consisting of A, C, G and T. I need to switch A-->T, C-->G, G-->C and T-->A across the whole string. I've tried searching for methods and several techniques without success.

So I'm just a lowly intern who has been given the task of changing date formats in a bunch of spreadsheets. The string is as follows:
1015 Dixon Schwabl Est. for Creative Svcs 101207.pdf
I have to change the date at the end (mmddyy) so it reads as yyyymmdd. There is a long column of these strings, and i have to do it on over 300 spreadsheeys.

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.

In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.

I'm using a userform to create a new sheet. The form already creates the sheet and names it what was typed into the userform. Now I want it to place that variable in a cell along with a string. the following code will place the variable from the form (tbname) into cell b5.

If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F"
and also t = time()

I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.

I am working on a workbook with 200+ sheets and an index linking to each of the sheets. On the sheets there is a cell containing the results of calculations and I need the cell referencing the sheet in the index to change background colors depending if the calculations value is greater or less than 0. I currently have working code that also changes the tab color of each sheet depending on the value, but i am trying to add the index cell background change functionality into that. also, the index listings is subject to change. my working code is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("d34").Value < 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 3
ElseIf Range("D34").Value > 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 4
Else
[Code]...
and the code i am trying to get working is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngX As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("Index").Range("A1:A500").Find(Range("C2").Text, lookat:=xlPart)
' the C2 is the reference the title that would be on the index
If Range("d40").Value < 0 Then
[Code]....
I keep getting the runtime error '1004: application-defined error or object-defined error the thing is, i ran the cell background changing code in a normal macro before integrating it in my other worksheet code first and it worked fine. I have a little code experience, though not much in vba and I am unsure what the issue is. if there is another better way to accomplish what I'm tring to do, that would also be fine.

I'm trying to create a tag with a color border. What I desire is to fill the BLANK cells around the tag, A1:D1 + D1:D19 + A1:D19 + A1:19 in a certain color based on the text value of the cell B11. There are 5 different values, such that if the B11 read Red Sox - the boarder is going to be red, if it reads Houston Astros it will be dark blue, etc..
I have a similar problem with changing the color of the cell based on the month. So regardless of the year, 2014, 2015, 2016, etc... If I use MONTH() function I can just get numbers from 1-12. I want Cell C16-C18 to be certain color depending the date entered in cell C17 such that for each quarter, months 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 they are different color.
I have had no luck with conditional formatting (and I also believe that it is good up to 3 cases only). I am decent in logic/programming language but have little knowledge with macro notation and especially how to run them in excel 2013. I do know how to start it alt+F11 and that I need to make sure that code is written under the specific sheet where my tag is located.

I did a search on this site and found some code I was looking for (see link:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...e-in-cell.html - Leith Ross's response code).
The code works perfectly, however, if I save the workbook with a different spreadsheet on top than the spreadsheet referred to in this code, I get an error message: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
I should state that I did change "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" to "Private Sub Auto_Open()".
I assume I need to modify the code but am unsure as to how.

How, via VBA, would I add a comment from a userform (text box name: txtReason) into a cell that may already have a comment in it? I would like to keep the comment that is in the cell and then have the program add a "/" and the next comment from txtReason..

What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.

I need to change the color of a specific cell when conditions are met in a different cell and it seems like it may be beyond the scope of simply applying conditional formatting. What vba code would look like in proper syntax to make the following statement true. IF cell value Q4 is >=cell value S4 AND cell value R4 is <100 Then cell Q4 turns red and IF cell value Q4 is >= cell value S4 AND cell value R4 =100 then cell Q4 turns green. it may also be useful to know that the "cell values" in this example will be dates and not straight values. this may be possible to do using conditional formatting, but i cannot find a formula that works.

I have a table:......
I want to colour in the relevant cells for each ref depending on the numbers in the stage column. So for the first line, the cells in columns 1,2,4&6 need to be shaded in. For the second line, the cells in columns 1,2,3,4,&5 need to be shaded in. I already have a lot of conditional formatting set on the sheet so need to do this with a macro.
I have tried to write something but am having issues with it finding the 1 and shading in the correct column but then jumping out of the loop and on to the next cell.

I have a spreadsheet with numerical data in B1:B11 and textual data in C1:C11. The numerical data is a couple of digits, nothing big, and the textual data is always two letters, in this case AB, AC or AD. I have the options for AB, AC or AD for each of the cells in C1:C11 in a data validation drop down list. What I'm trying to do is make a VBA macro, of some sort, that acts upon when, AB for instance, is changed to AC, and then multiply the adjacent numerical value in the B column by a conversion value:
AB -> AC = 3
AC -> AD = 7
AD -> AB = 4
So for example, if I had cell B2 as 10 and C2 as AB, then changed AB to AC using the drop down menu, the macro would recognise the change, select the adjacent cell, B2, and multiply it by 3 to get 30, and put 30 in B2.
This is what I've got so far, and I'm no VBA expert, so I've probably made mistakes in multiple places. At the moment, the code below is getting stuck on active.celloffset - and I'm really not sure why. I did manage to get it working with specific cells rather than a range, but that only ever worked once and I had to close and re-open excel to get it to work again. Is my code any good, or am I coming at this from the wrong direction?
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Code:
Static ov As Variant
For Each Cell In Range("B1:B10")
[Code].....

Moving between different sheets changes the procedure window, which is a good thing, but can also can be error prone and annoying to search through several windows searching for the procedure or module currently working on. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent VBE from changing the current procedure window?

At the top of my worksheet, I have a summary table of four regions. These take subtotals from the rows below, which are grouped by each region
I would like to create hyperlinks in my summary table to then go directly to the row below it relates to, however, because I insert and delete rows, I'm not sure how to make my hyperlinks dynamic.
E.g. Four regions are A, B, C and D A is currently found in A10, B in A25, C in A40 and D in A60
If I insert 3 rows above row 15, A is still in A10, B is now in A28, C in A43 and D in A60 (to confirm, summary table and linked cells are all on the same worksheet)
How can I make the hyperlinks in the summary table change automatically so that when clicked it takes me straight to the new row location instead of the previous one?

I have a work sheet with over 500 different name enteries. I need to change the cell color to red if the cell has the name "john" in it. The names are listed in a column (ex. A1:A500)
The cell could have the name "John Jackson", "John Johnson", "John A", or just "John". As long as the name "John" is found, the cell color should turn red.
If the cell has the name "Mike", "Mike A", "Mike Johnson" then change color to Green. Here I am looking for any cell that has the name Mike in it.
and so on ...
I have over 500 different names so Conditional formating won't help me here. I was wondering if I could do this with VBA coding.

Problem Designing "new customer" form, a textbox(forename) in the
form has the Control source of "B3" (an empty space in my Customer
database). When the form is run and the forname is typed in the box, it
fair enough appears in the Database sheet (in B3).
However, then when opening the form again and typing over the forename
just inserted it will ofcourse overwrite it (B3 is replaced). Any ideas how i can input
code into the sub linked to the textbox so that it checks the control
source and moves down if the source is empty(code checks B3 for text, moves to B4) then the next one (B4 is checked, moved to B5).
Dim topCel As Range, bottomCel As Range, _
sourceRange As Range, targetRange As Range
Set topCel = Range("B2")
Set bottomCel = Range("B65536").End(xlUp)
If topCel.Row > bottomCel.Row Then End
Set sourceRange = Range(topCel, bottomCel)
Set targetRange = Range("B3")

I have a cell that is being populated by a formula. Is it possible that every time the value of that cell changes, the new value goes into the next available cell on another sheet?
To simplify things:
Sheet1 A1=5 Sheet2 A1=5
Sheet1 A1=6 Sheet2 A1=5 A2=6
Sheet1 A1=9 Sheet2 A1=5 A2=6 A3=9
And so on.
