I want the user to be able to choose a printer but not print at that time.
1. Store the active printer as a variable using application.activeprinter
2. Have a dialog box (the printers available) popup and have them choose one, then store that
3. I know how to do the rest, but I will have the word document print out with the selected printer, then use the application.activeprinter reset to the original one
In my program I want some labels to be printed on printer P661 (black/white) and other labels on printer P656 (color).
Q: is it possible to do this in vba for my code?
The labels are made in Word and printed from within Excel.
Sub PrintNACL_LABEL()
Dim oWord As Object
Dim sPath As String
Dim iCnt As Integer
sPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "NACL_LABEL.doc"
iCnt = Val(InputBox("Hoeveel exemplaren?", "NACL_LABEL", 1))
If iCnt >= 1 Then
Set oWord = CreateObject(Class:="Word.Application")
With oWord.Documents.Open(sPath)
.PrintOut Background:=False, Copies:=iCnt
.Close False
End With
oWord.Quit False
End If
Set oWord = Nothing
End Sub
The specific printers in the network are:
Color ---> "\PlantijnP656 op Ne00:"
Black/white ---> "\plantijn2000oldP661 op Ne02:"
I am trying to assign rooms to tenants. I would like to set up a function that reads a tenant's top 5 choices for a room, and looks up a column to see if the choice has already been selected before moving to the next choice. Then if all 5 choices have already been selected, the cell reads error.
This is how it would look : Excel Pic.jpg
Is there a function in Excel that would randomly select one of the 4 specified numbers?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am working with a spreadsheet that has quite a few products and each product has a column for each vendor of that product with the price associated with that vendor. So, I have five columns total:
product, vendor 1 price, vendor 2 price, vendor 3 price, vendor 4 price. I want to have a 6th column that will show the preffered vendor, which of course is selected by the lowest price. I have been able to accomplish this by chaining IF statements together, but it is getting VERY cumbersome for more than 2 vendors.
Ideally, I would like to tell Excel to look at the 4 price cells, choose the lowest one, and return a column number, which I can then associate with a vendor.
I'm trying to set up a consolidated spreadsheet with a number of tabs and a master sheet to work on. I want to set up this master so that I can type the sheet name into one box and in the next box it will use the sheetname I've just typed in to then pull the array off that sheet. I'm using this with VLOOKUP but when I try and type A1! in in the array section, it doesn't seem to like it.

In column C, I'm trying to create a corresponding notational mark, "*", indicating the 10 lowest scores that are also the oldest. However, I'm running into problems as I may have duplicate scores with different dates, i.e. 3/22/06 will have a score of 85 and will be the 10th lowest score, but 4/1/06 also has a score of 85.

For example. I have a drop down menu with 3 options. 1,2 and 3. What I want is that if I choose option 2, then in cell A2 (or whatever) would output the value of 2, say "2222". Or if I choose 1, then A2 would output the value of 1, say "12345".
How to open or Print a doc or pdf file from a combobox on a userForm
I have a folder full of doc files. I used a userform on which i put a combobox which contains those files' names and a cmd to open the file.
I managed to copy all the files names to the WorkSheet and listed them in the combobox.
@@@ I need a VBA code to do the following :
1- looking for the file name which matches the one i choose from the combobox
2- if there is a match, show " match" on a lable.
3- when i click the "open" cmd i created on the userform, it opens the file. or even print it and close it
4- prepare for another match.
I need to choose the content of a cell by the calendar date ( or system date). Before the date, I need the cell blank (or a 0 would be acceptable). On or after the specific date, I need to have a number appear in that cell. For example, what I need is: Before 10/20/2008, cell B5 should be blank. After this date cell B5 should be 8.
If I have a very long password would this make unprotecting the sheet harder?
Or do the programs available on the net extract the data from else where - Making it pointless choosing a complicated password?
I'm trying to create an invoice with customer list, and the problem now is I'm trying to find a list-dependent data way to input my customer's address.
At the moment, all I can do is a dependent dropdowns from a sorted list (see method here). So it's kinda troublesome in such that my list (of customers) opens up a list for address that has only one option (since there's only one address for each customer).
I hope there's a method out there whereby I can have a list of customers, then select the customer I want, and the address of this particular customer will appear in another cell below automatically (without the need of selecting it in another list).
My address is actually split into three different cells - Address, Building & Postal Code.
I'm currently trying to put together a search function of sort onto an excel document to look for entries of "Y" based on the choices in a drop down list to populate a list of names that have a "Y" next to them. I've searched the net and read up on IF, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP commands but I can't quite string something together. An example of what I am trying to achieve is below;

If we look at Produced date and TO Date in Sheet1. If the TO date is less than the Produced date then the TO date is the date to use. i.e. for May it will Say
Produced:, 22 Jun 2009 "From:","2009-05-01","To:","2009-05-31". So use "From:","2009-05-01","To:","2009-05-31"47 (because TO < Produced use TO )
However in June it might say Produced:, 22 Jun 2009 "From:","2009-06-01","To:","2009-06-30". So use "From:","2009-06-01","To:","2009-06-21" (because TO > Produced use Produced -1 ).I've already have some formulas in place. Look at the attached file, but I don't know how to set up the IF formula or any other.
