I have a softball spreadsheet with columns of ab, r, h, 2b, 3b, hr, bb, so, Avg. rows of all the players on the team. I'd like to be able to click on the cell containing any cloumn heading and have the data sort out from best ot worst of that catagory. Is it possible to re-sort data simply by clicking on a certain cell, and if so can it be done for 8 different cells?
View 9 RepliesI am familar with Auto-filter but use it too much to make it very handy. I would like to know if there is a way to assign a row as my event row, so that when I click on a cell (the header) in that row it sorts the column.
I have no idea how to access this functionality, but it sounded like an easy one for some of you Excel/VBA gurus out there.
I wonder if it is possible to make a macro that right clicks a cell and then chooses a option from the list?

1) Cut scanned value (ID number) from input Cell A1
2) Paste value into next empty cell in column A (Rows build as students are inputted)
3) Copy Eligibility status (text) from column F into A6
I have a limited VBA/Macro background and have NEVER got a button to work.
I understand how to click and drag a cell or row of data but is it possible to click and drag a group of rows of data? I have 12 rows of data that will repeat itself every 12 weeks. I can "save & paste" easily enough, but just curious if there is a way to click and drag 12 rows of data so that they remain the same for every group of 12 weeks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to use VB in excel. I've created a form and several check boxes with specific options for each one.
when one box is clicked I want the data from that box (whatever the option is) - to appear in a specific cell (ie: cell 17)
I have a userform [AddEditMove] with a bunch of textboxes (something like 30) that create entries in a spreadsheet ["Move Records"] along one row. In addition to creating those basic entries, the textboxes also fill in other spreadsheets after manipulating the entered data in various ways.
Therefore, if an entry needs to be changed, it needs to be changed from the userform rather than just on the main sheet, or those other actions won't be taken. At least, that's how I see it now. I'm interested in knowing how other people have handled similar set ups.
Right now, what I think I'd like is for the user to be able to double click any entry on the main sheet and have that action call up the userform and autofill the data from the sheet so the user can change what they need to change and then update it. It would also require a tweak in the userform code -- "if called from cell click, then fill info in selected row, rather than next empty line" -- if that's possible.
I am using Excel 2010. I am a novice user.
I have a lot of data to filter / sort. I want to initially to create a filter for a column of data - which has the format similar to hierarchical paths to files. The data is a mix of text/numbers. e.g.
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_254__5_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_253__5_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_255__5_0/d
[Code] .........
Doing an alphabetical sort of this date would return the following order. As you can see while each strings in unique - there are many instances where they are simialr - if you ignore the unique numeric values at the end of the string.
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_230__6_0/d
[Code] ......
So what I want to do is to create a filter for the strings - but ignoring the numeric bits at the end i.e.
reg_[0-9]+_+[0-9]+/d
The strings are obviiously of varying length and the number of hierarchical paths is different, so I can't split string on "/".
Similarly folder paths names can contain "_" so can't split string on this either.
As I don't know how many "/" or "-" instances there will be in the string I don't believe I can use the find function. Also as the amount of number will be different i don't think I can use =right(a1,X) either.
I may be able to search for the pattern above - as this is probabay unique - so maybe it's something like the following pseudo code:
Function GetString(txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Pattern = "reg_d+(_)+d+//d"
GetString = .execute(txt)(0)
End With
End Function
If I do require VBA code - how do I then use this for creating a column filter? Or will I have to extract the filtered data first from the column (and its associated row data) into another worksheet to use?
Once I have the filter in place I want to create tables using the filtered data - so for example each column value above has a lot of associated data values in each row e.g
26 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
32 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
8 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
So my table would show the name "data_out_reg" and the range of values 8-32
I havet he following code which sorts data. If there is no data to sort I keep on getting a run time error. Could I add something to my code to prevent the run-time error, as sometime there won't be any data to sort. The code runs when I switch to the worksheet in question.
Sub SortMeetings()
Dim iCTR As Integer
Dim yCTR As Integer
Dim zCTR As Integer
zCTR = 11
For iCTR = 12 To 23
For yCTR = 1 To 10
If Len(Range("D" & iCTR).Offset(0, yCTR)) 0 Then
Range("AA" & zCTR).Value = Format(Range("D" & iCTR).Offset(0, yCTR), "HH:MM") & " " & Range("D" & iCTR).Value
zCTR = zCTR + 1
End If
Next yCTR
Next iCTR
Range("AA11:AA" & zCTR).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("AA11"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub
I would like to be able to sort the data in this one cell alphabetically without retyping the data .ie use a sort function but only for a cell.
For Example cell A1 contains Chris Brown Andy
No commas there. Names are seperated only by spaces.
What function should I use in order to get Andy Brown Chris ?
I have a long data in a single column with mixed letters. and column A (or H, K etc.) like this:

I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with some 300 plus rows of data. I use filters to sort through the rows to get down to anywhere from 8 to 10 or so rows.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to get the data from the sheet 1 added to the sheet 2 by clicking on the ADD DATA button in the sheet 1. The sheet 1 will be filled in multiple times like a form by the users, so once the data is added to the sheet 2 I would like sheet 1 to have no data filled in the column to the right. The data will be only filled in the right column, thus the left column should not be copied to the sheet 2.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to make a fork in my code based on the type of data received from an input box launched from a right click and passed via the actioncontrol parameter.
The input box box is a range selector.
Dim seriesIdArray As Variant
seriesIdArray = Range(CommandBars.ActionControl.Parameter)
Generally, the user will have selected multiple cells as their range and I loop through using:
For j = 0 to ubound(seriesIdArray, 2)
However, if they only select one cell, I am getting back the value of that string in seriedIdArray, and that gives me a type mismatch error. I'll need to handle this a little differently, and I know how to do that part, I just don't know when I need to do this.
How can I tell whether they have selected one cell or multiple cells based on the value of the actioncontrol parameter?
I considered trapping the error type (13) and branching based on that, but then I end up with spaghetti code and I'm trying to avoid that.
I think I may need to create another more specific variable to take the action control parameter, test it, and then decide whether I should use an array or a range, but that's just a suspicion.
This area of my worksheet, Sheets("ACTIVITY").Range("AM2:AM172"), is currently populated by text values from a dynamic, validated list, 'DEL_2'.
Is there a simple way to effectively 'toggle' (on/off) data validation - maybe with right-click - in this area, so that the user can type what they want if their chosen option can't be found in DEL_2?

Is there a way to randomize the data with one created button click (like hyperlink button used for linking) so that it may show any random output like 2,1,4,3,5 etc. Next time another click on randomize button creates another set of totaly random order of the 5 data sets.
I have a worksheet dealing with customer order numbers in rows and various information about those orders in columns. The first 10 rows contain generic " header" type information with formulas to return certain values from the data below. Panes are frozen below row 10 so I can manually scroll down to see data. My "line numbers" (1,2,3,etc.) are listed in column "A", and begin on worksheet row 11.
The worksheet is set up so that when I enter a customer order number in cell "F2", my line number (Excel row + 10) is returned in cell "L2". I would like to use a Macro that would give the user the option (possibly with a button) to automatically scroll to the report line number returned in cell "L2".
Any way to make it so that if a user clicks into any single cell in columns O to AH, it will populate the cell with an X?
So if user clicks on cell, populate with X.

It does everything I want but take F2 info and send it over. But F3-F6 does go over.
I'm using code based on the following post: Add Borders To Cells Of Spreadsheet From Access. That code was developed for a relatively small recordest. I am using the same coding style to transfer a recordset that has roughly 2000 records in it. Since this is all taking place over a network there is a period of time (about 15-20 seconds) where Excel is open and the user is watching the cells get populated from Access. If, during that period of time when Excel is open, the user clicks in a cell during the population of data, it stops the process and causes an error on the Access end (Error 50290: Application-defined or object-defined error). Is there a way I can prevent user input (perhaps prevent signals from the keyboard and mouse) until after the data has been transferred? I know this is a long way to do a TransferSpreadsheet command but I like the way the column headers get formatted as well as the column sizes. I also think it's pretty cool to watch the data populate as it goes.
