View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a basic worksheet that will have radio buttons. I have searched around for about 2 hours and can not find any documentation on how exactly to create a buttons and make it do what I want. I have also tried F1 in Excel but that hasn't helped any either. I did stumble uppon a file called "Options.xls" when searching this forum but it does not explain how the buttons were made. The only thing i can figure out how to do is basically insert a button onto the document, and rename the label of the button that's about it. I basically want to create a group of (3) or so buttons. If button A is picked, cell D1 will display "x". If button B is picked, cell D1 will display "y", and so on. Is there a link to an example out there that shows how to create and use buttons?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
Is there a quicker way?
In recent weeks, when I've been asked to demonstrate excel applications which make use of buttons, I've found that on some machines the buttons will variably display as flat grey rectangles with no label, or boxes with red 'x's, or alternatively not appear at all. There seems to be no pattern since the variations have all happened on single machines, then not at all on similar machines.
So far it has only been company laptops (not my own machine), hooked up to overhead projectors which end up with this problem. I can't think of anything I would have done manually to disable the buttons from appearing.
Is this a known issue, or is this simply down to the user preferences and/or security settings?
I've got a small problem with radio buttons. I've been asked to add a few to a sheet we use at work, problem I'm having is when I add these new buttons from the forms toolbar and then assign the cell link for them some of the other radio buttons on the sheet asume the cell link of the new buttons and when I change them back the cell link for the new buttons change ? i could understand this problem if I had maybe copied them and modified the copies perhaps but that isn't the case.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using excel 2010. I have a spreadsheet with a row that is hidden. One cell in this row contains a button. I have a macro that copies this hidden row, inserts it at another point on the spreadsheet and unhides it. It works great in excel 2007, but the button on the hidden row disappears when I close the sheet and re-open it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm making a worksheet where the user has the options to select "yes" or "no". I used active x radio buttons because I feel they are more flexible. The problem I'm running in to is, what happens if there is an "unknown"? I can't find a way to "deselect" a radio button?
I tried using 2 checkboxes using the following
Checkbox 1:
If CheckBox2.Value = True Then
CheckBox1.Value = False
End If
Checkbox2:
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
CheckBox2.Value = False
End If
The problem with this is, you have to deselect one checkbox before you can select the other. It works, but it’s a little more cumbersome then I was hoping. Is there a better solution?
I am having around 80 - 90 radio buttons in my excel page for filling up the forms, but each time i need to give this to a new user i have to reset all the buttons manually, is there any way where in i can do this in one go and all the radio buttons are reset at once without me doing this manually.

I have inherited a spreadsheet that has a text box and a radio form that I cannot delete for the life of me. I can't click to select either one nor right click to do anything. I have an "Approve" and "Reject" button on top of them and those work great. But how do I delete the others?

I have a "clear" macro that clears all fields and radio button values (none is ticket). This macro is called throughout different sheets, as different roles in the company have different KPIs and should be on different sheets. I need a code that detects all radio buttons within a certain sheet and clear their values. I cannot put specific radio button names, as I have a lot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to filter data from row 87 downwards depending on the choices above. Some of the choices could be only one like in the measurement type. That I can take care of but what if the choice is more than one, it could be four and it is not fixed. Is that possible in autofilter? This is when they go to checkboxes where they may have many option. The mounting part is best example of many options. This is the part I can't incorporate to macro. It's somoething dynamic. I can't make my filter autoadjust. So essentially,I wanted to automatically edit the filtering based on those 10 criteria, which is also in ten different columns.Sample work.xlsm

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pair of radio buttons on an Excel 2007 sheet. I want the buttons to be clickable, but have the sheet protected.
Both are defined as unlocked. The Group containing the two buttons is also defined as unlocked.
But when I protect the sheet, one of the two buttons gets the pop-up saying the cell is protected - the other button is fine. I've even tried unlocking the cells behind the buttons, but it still pops up.
I created two radio buttons on a spreadsheet where a user can select
one button for Yes and the other for No. When I right click these
buttons, I notice the names (shown on the left hand side of the
formula bar) are:
Option Button 3 (for No)
Option Button 4 (for Yes)
I'd like to create a macro that automatically selects the Yes or No
button depending on a cell value in another tab. If the cell value is
1, the macro should select Yes. If the value is 0 the macro should
select No.
I tried running the macro below:
Sub testSelectYesOrNo()
If Not IsEmpty(Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value) Then
Select Case Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value
Case Is = 1
Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True
Case Is = 0
Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton3 = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
But when this runs I get a "Run-time error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method"
When I click debug, the text "Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True"
was highlighted.

How to add checkboxes and radio buttons.
I work in the science field and I'm trying to record an observation with some codes within a template. I have 5 different codes (A-E) to choose from and want to display the code that the person has chosen for each of the 6 compounds they are working with.
I started creating these command radio buttons with some code to display the results in part particular cell, but I would need to do this 30 times linking each group together to get what I want. I know there's an easier way to do this but ....
just wondering if there's a way i can make the Radio buttons and check-boxes in my forms select-able by hitting enter? My form is quite long and it takes too much time for users to always have to grab the mouse and click the box, if they could just tab to the radio box or check box and hit enter to select it it would be awesome!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to insert some radio buttons in a worksheet that activate a hyperlink to a web page and then be able to go back to where I started (ie the radio button)
I can link the button to a macro which was a recording of clicking on a hyperlink. The trouble is when I hit the return arrow to return to the sheet from the web page I go back to the location of the hyperlink not where I started from.
Is there a way to do this with the buttons.
If I can rearrange the sheet to allow for more narrow columns I may be able to just use the hyperlink friendly name argument and do it that way but I'm not so sure I can insert more narrow columns without messing up the layout of the whole sheet. With a button I can float several of them over an area regardless of the width of the columns.
every week i send out a pivot table to different project co-ordinators and would like a way of having simple option button so that they can have the data by "hours" or "costs" and can use tick boxes for the row fields they want to show, for example, "profession", "workstage"," name","cost rate". The page field will always be "Project" and the Column Field will always be "Period" and " Date"
I then want the pivot table to change automatically to their choices. I am pretty basic with VBA so may need explanantions too. It would save me sending out 10 versions of a pivot table all feeding off the same data! They could actually do something themselves! (i know they could drag the fileds they want into the areas they need them but trust me when i say they are not that advanced, they are good at ticking!!)
I have an excel document that looks all nice and pretty except for the little white grids all over it with unused cells. Is there anyway to hide the lines? i dont care that the cells are there just the lines make the form look kinda crappy.

I'm trying to create a form using radio buttons from the "Forms Tool Bar" and not sure I shouldn't be using the "Control Tool Bar"
I've got multiple buttons and wanted to group them so i used the "Group Box" from the Forms tool bar but now there's a box around the buttons (I've turned off Printing for the box) that gets in the way of other text on sheet. I did some searching and thought I read where you could also use the drawing tool bar and draw a rectangle around the buttons which would then let them operate independent of other groups of buttons but that doesn't seem to work so I'm guessing I imagined it. I also noticed that if you don't draw the "Group Box" around the hole radio button box, they don't work with others in the same "Group Box"
I'm not sure if I should use the buttons in the "Control Tool Bar" but I'm thinking I should so that I have the flexibility should I decide to do something different in the future. I'm thinking about using the buttons to hide a sheet as well as select the sheet for printing, but for now one hurdle at a time.
Lastly I tried looking up some information on how to get the "Control Tool Bar" radio button to behave similar to the "Forms" version of the button (i.e. click the button and it appears to alternate from other buttons in the group), however when I place my mouse over the button it selects it rather than letting me change it's state from true to false.
I have two option buttons. I would like to have a command button disappear if one option is filled and reappear when the other option is filled. What is the best way to do this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that has
worksheet_calculate and also worksheet_changes, its a combination of the 2...
and it's purpose is to make a record of the number every time it changes by populating it into the next row, so I end up having a very long data list
and what happens is that my spreadsheet has real-time data coming into one cell which makes it constantly changing....
needless to say, when my spreadsheet is opened, it starts to do it immediately...and it wont stop as long as the number keeps on changing.
I would like to make 2 buttons - one says START, one says STOP
and when I click on START, then it will start making record of this number and when I click STOP, then it stops recording the changes of this number.
Is there a macro that can make cells with no data in them disappear or not be displayed?

In my Userform I have a CheckBox1. If this CheckBox1 is Selected then I need to change the entry of all Textboxes(2-10) to be negative Value.
Works well right now but I need to identify all Textbox separately how could I bundle this up... even if a module is called...
So IF checkbox1 = True then textbox2 to textbox10 will = a negative value... If user adds 2 to textbox2 when the checkbox1 is = True then 2 will turn to -2
I haven't used buttons much.
I would like to create a list of projects in column A.
Then the user would select one of the projects. This can be done by clicking on the corresponding cell in column B. So I would lkie to see buttons in column B for this. OR if someone can suggest another way, e.g. highlighting the project name in column A or putting an x in corresponding cell in column B.
I can make this last scenerio work, but I don't know how to assure that only one project can be selected at a time.
In other words if I have selected project in ROW 12 and then I want to see project in ROW 17, I should be able to select 17. And 12 should be deselected automatically.
I have a form with at about 1200 checkboxes and I need to make them behave as radio buttons. What I mean is that just one box can be selected in a group of boxes.
Lets say i want to group all 1200 boxes in 400 groups, with 3 check boxes in every group. I want user to be able to select just one check box in every group.
