I have a quick question: I want to compare two cells' formats with as short programming as possible, so the program runs faster.
I have the current code to compare the formats and give the variable "Result" the value "FormatChange" if the formats are different.
Here is the qtn if two cells A1 and A2 has "ab 1" and "ab 2" the answers for comparing cells should be true as both cells has first 2 letters as alphabets then space followed by numeric..format of cells is same.

I'm terrified to use VBA just yet, so right now I'm determined to highlight values in my spreadsheet just using conditional formatting.
I have 5 plus 1 columns of data. For example,
A B C D E....F
3 2 4 5 7....2
4 6 1 3 4....1
4 7 4 5 8....4
2 1 5 3 9....1
I successfully applied a MIN formula to compare between columns on each
row and display in F the MIN value. Notice each cell going down F has the
minimum value in analyzing across each row.
Now, I *also* want to apply a formula on the whole F column to compare these resultant MIN values
and give me the MINIMUM value between those as well, so now I'm comparing across
rows. Got it? Now then.....I want the ENTIRE row that has this MIN value in F to be highlighted, because that will be the best choice for the application of what I'm doing. Did you understand this paragraph. It might have been confusing, but I think I said everything correctly, so read it carefully.
I've tried all sorts of "Formula is", "Cell value is", dollar sign this, dollar sign that, no dollar sign this, <, >, =, highlighted ALL the block of data, highlighting JUST the column across the rows of which will be compared, only highlighted one cell, but nothing has worked.
Is my problem that you can't have 2 formulas in one cell? So then I thought I should ADD another condition, but nothing works.
Let me throw in one more element that I did not state. If anywhere down the F column there is a 0, I don't want that to be my minimum. I want it to evaluate and give me the minimum value greater than 0.
Please read everything I wrote carefully. It might be confusing, but I hope someone has an answer, because it sure has frustrated me.
Now, I'm thinking that VBA programming may give me answers, but I am so terrified of macros, I don't know how to begin that. I have this impression based on the many sites I've looked at on the internet that many people do macros and it's quite easy, but it's funny to me that I am so scared. There's something about me freaking out that I won't have a period or a quote in the right place and I'll stress my day away over it.
I have a football score system and wish to compare the values of various cells - 2 if possible, but more if not possible.
Essentially I have a list of predictions for the score of a game (e.g. 2-1, 1-0, 0-0, 2-2 etc) in a spreadsheet, and I have a cell where I enter the correct scoreline (e.g. 2-1). The way the points system works is that if the prediction is correct (i.e. 2-1) then that player gets 3 points. If the result/outcome is correct but the scoreline is incorrect (i.e. 1-0) then the player gets 1 point. If they result/outcome and scoreline are incorrect, then that player gets 0 points.
Ideally I would link to compare 2 cells - predicted score and actual score, where the format of the scores is entered as 2-1.
However, I feel this may be easier having to columns for the score - Column A = 2 Column B = 1. In this way the scores only need to be compared cell by cell, however they would need to be compared by value for the correct outcomes.
I'm populating a userform combobox this way :
For i = 1 To npoints
Me.Combobox1.AddItem i
Next i
Meanwhile I'm populating a cell with a value from a listbox:
Worksheet1.Cells(rowindex, 6).Value = Me.Listbox.List(listindex - 1, i)
I don't understand how to make this return TRUE:
Worksheet1.Cells(rowindex, 6).Value = Me.Combobox1.Value
I tried playing around with format( , ) but without success.
To make a long story short, I'm trying to compare formulas. I was able to copy the formulas as values.
There are hundreds of lines, each one with the formulas pasted as values, like '=SUM(G132:I132) / G30. What I want right now is to compare the text.
So, if for example:
the line for both parts of the pasted sum formula like '=SUM(G132:I132) / G30, I want a number 1 to be written in the adjacent cell (if '=SUM(G132:I132) / G30 is in A1, 1 should be written in B1).
However, if its is written '=SUM(G132:I142) / G30, than nothing should be written in B1.
Moreove, the line could have from 1 to characters. So it could be '=SUM(G1:I1) / G30 or '=SUM(G13200:I13200) / G30.
is the same, like of A1 is '=SUM(G1322), I want a number 1 to be written in B1
I am currently using excel 13' and am having trouble inserting rows once the value in column b changes. My goal with this procedure is to insert two rows after each change in value in Column b (i.e. b2, b3, and b4, all equal 123 however b5 equals 124) Below is the code.
Dim cell As Range
Set i = Range(Range("A1:I1"), Range("A1:I1").End(xlDown))
Set bsort = Range(Range("B1"), Range("B1").End(xlDown))
Set ISort = Range(Range("I1"), Range("I1").End(xlDown))

I want to be able to count how many instances Primary Price is >= Price 2. And, secondarily how many times Price 1 was, at a minimum, >= to Price 2 and then also >= Price Price 3.

I have a list of names and a seperate list of names with emails.
In column A there is a last name, column B a first name, and then for the second list in column D there is an email.
I need to tell Excel that if column A and Column B both have a replication on the list, then in Column D populate it with the email address on the list.
I know this is confusing so I have attached a sample of my spreadsheet. The email address is in yellow and I need to have it copied to the cells in white. The list is almost 14,500 lines long and it would take forever manually.
I have a cell (F2) that is auto updated with total sales units for today (Its a simple counter of individual sales). I want to detect when there is a "batch" of sales >= 10. ie. F2 may start at zero for the day and increment by 1,2,5 or 10 units at a time. If the increment is 10 units or more I would like to detect this and store the result in cell G4.
Typical values in C2: 0, 1, 6, 7, 9, 19, 21, 22 etc as new orders arrive. The larger order between 9-19 (viz 10 or more), I need to detect and store in G4. I know that I need to use both the current value of F2 (say 19) and the previous value of F2 (say 9) to perform this, but the solution eludes me.
Can I run a macro from a cell function in Excel 2003 with the idea of

I have the following snippet of
If Cells(3, k).Value = "Actuals" Then
DesActualColumn = Cells(3, k).Column
End If
nice and simple, and works fine until it cannot find "Actuals" in the cell because someone has put a tab ahead of it, for example.
Can anyone tell me how I can use a 'LIKE' and put wildcards
I am aware this question must have been asked to death on this forum and I already searched and found some answers but for some reason I canīt get it to work. I have two worksheets (sheet1 and sheet2). In Column E of Sheet1 I have product descriptions that I want to compare cell by cell to the product descriptions in Column F of Sheet 2. If they are not the same, color in the cell in Sheet 2. There are 1810 rows in both columns. I tried this method but it gives me an error (in spanish) that says that I cannot compare ranges of data.
I have also seen some code to do something similar (http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showpost...85&postcount=3 ):
Sub find_cell()
Range("A:E"). Find(What:=Cells(2, 6).Value, LookAt:=xlPart).Activate
ar = ActiveCell.Row
ac = ActiveCell.Column
' the two lines above store the row and column values of the cell found
' in your example ar is going to be equal to 229 and ac is 3
' now this following lines are to change the colors to red
With Cells(ar, ac).Interior
.ColorIndex = 3
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End Sub
I donīt quite get the "Range("A:E").Find(What:=Cells(2, 6).Value, LookAt:=xlPart).Activate" part though.
I'm trying to compare the values of columns B and G and if any of the cells are G < B, I would like to move the whole row into the second worksheet. And only if possible, it would be awesome if the macro could check column A for duplicates before the value comparison and sum up the column B if there are duplicates. In my example row 6 and 7 on column A have the same suppliers code and the amount totals to 2.
In this case for example, the value of the third row of G is lower than B, and therefore I would like the whole row 3 to be cut out from worksheet 1 and moved to worksheet 2.
Original view of sheet 1:
SUPPLIERSCODE
ORDERAMOUNT
PRODUCTNAME
BARCODE
SUPPLIERSCODE
WAREHOUSE STOCK
And then cut out the rows in which G
I would like to have a single button that changes a range of cells from the USD to EURO to perhaps CAD symbol. Can this operation be performed, such that if I start in dollars, and I click the button once, it shifts by range to EURO (not formulas...just symbol)...and then if I click the same button again, it goes to CAD, and then back to USD with a third click?

I have the need within a spreadsheet to automatically compare the value of 2 cells and if they match exactly to move the cursor to a group of cells. If they do not match then move to another group of cells. The only way that I can see to do this is via Macros. However I still need to do the automatic compare first.
I have a column in excel which gets populated in the format "2/1/1980" when copied from a different source. I want a macro to run on this column and convert this in the below format. Required format: '02-01-80 (note the ' symbol before 02 which will keep it as text)
Existing ----> Required

2/1/1970 --> '02-01-70
2/1/1983 --> '02-01-83
I need this macro to run on two columns and replace them with the required format. I can do a find and replace either in the sheet or through hard coding the VBA, but as the date format keeps growing, I would need to do this via code and hence requesting the same.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet and I want to conditionally format rows to be a certain color. That part I'm fine with. But I don't want them to be a set color. I have a "key" of different colored cells that I want to be the fill colors of the formatting. The ultimate goal is that for example the key looked like this
red
blue
yellow
green
then the rows I had would be formatted as red, blue, yellow, and green. But if you were to go into the key and change the first cell from red to purple, then the rows would become formatted as purple, blue, yellow, and green. Obviously I can copy formating by hand using the format painter, but I want it to update automatically.
Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
Code:
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=""ABS()>.005"""
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority[code].....

I have the following data on a spreadsheet created by a formula:
A1: 1.1234
A2. 2.234
A3: 3.34
I have the data formatted to only have two decimal places so it looks like this:
A1: 1.12
A2: 2.23
A3: 3.34
I'm using the following formula in cell B1 to display the values of those cells in a single cell in order A1,A2,A3:
=A1 & "," & A2 & "," & A3
However when the values of A1, A2 and A3 appear in the in cell B1 they appear as: 1.1234,2.234,3.34
Is there a way I can edit the formula or format something so the values in B1 appear as with only two decimal places? i.e 1.12,2.23,3.34
