When I try to add the Richtextbox control, I get this error: "The control could not be created because it is not properly licensed." Since I'm in a corporate setting, I don't think I can get around this (since I don't have access to the computer's registry and several users will be using it). I have figured out a way to present the user with some rich text controls (Bold, Italics, Underline, Font, Color, etc), which will add special characters around the selected text which then is interpreted by a procedure and formats the text in the output destination (HTML document).
However, that tends to clutter up the textbox and makes it somewhat cumbersome for some users to edit the text. I'd prefer to have them see the formatted text in the textbox, if possible. So, is there a way to get some sort of Rich Text Box without the RichTextBox control? It's long shot, I know.
I have a defined range in my workbook which I have not been able to delete (I think it got there through some malware because I didn't create it!)
The main annoyance is that the name refers to another workbook (to which I don't have access) and to a non-existent range therein (resulting in a #REF! error) - so I get the unwanted Update Links message each time I open the workbook. I have created my own workbook with the same name as the workbook referred to by the name, hoping that I may gain some level of control over this gremlin, but to no avail.
The name is "Flow" immediately followed by a thin-lined empty square (like the ANSI character 042 formatted using Wingdings2 font). It could be a line-feed character.
Whatever it is, I have not been able to delete this range name - either directly through the Insert / Name / Define / Delete commands or by using VBA. Using the menu commands I can select the name, edit it (even add a valid cell reference to the workbook name), and click Add - but that just adds a new name "Flow" without the control character and the original name remains! The original name also remains if I select the name and click Delete.
have to deal with a text database into Excel but ended up finding irregular format that need to be fixed. As it can be seen within the text right below, there are space delimiters in between the words. I want to replace always the 2nd space from right to left with a semicolon.
I am trying to do is put an asterisk at the beginning and the end of the Information in a cell for the entire column. Is there a way to make a macro that, once I highlight a column, it will put an asterisk at the beginning and end of the information in each cell in that column until a blank cell is reached where the macro will then stop? This will save me a lot of work. It will work for me if a particular column has to be defined in the macro, but would be better if it is one I can just highlight.
This would also work fine for me if I just had to highlight the cells that I want to use as well. Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question, but I am a very novice excel user
I would like to enter an X or O into a square cell so that it completely fills the cell.
I want to eliminate the space between the text character and the cell border.
The character does not necessarily have to be text so long as it can be automatically entered into the cell by a macro and can also be deleted by a sub routine to refresh the worksheet for new data.
I created autoshapes for a cross and a circle but I have no idea how to substitute these for the text characters in the worksheet or delete them afterwards.
I have two excel sheets exported from two sources of information. Both sheets contain 1 column which is the primary data, ie, there is no duplicate of that information. Each information in these column represent 1 device in the real world.
Now, for example: In one sheet, I have: SDV0620B In the other sheet, I have: SSDV-B0620B
Please note that, both data actually represent the same device. What I now need to make sure is that, I ccan identify each corresponding data from the two sheets.
So, here is the problem that I am facing, identifying two data which are same but has two different representation techniques. (since the data are from two different sources)
I came up with the idea that, if I can check the sequence of characters with one column to another, then I might be able to pull it off.
For example, we take SDV0620B, and match the sequence of character with SSDV-B0620B. therefore, first is S (from SDV0620B) match with SSDV-B0620B then, D match SSDV-B0620B then V match SSDV-B0620B and so on, until the end.
And if the 1st sequence is found in the second sequnce of characters, then it is called a match! Hope I have explained it clearly. I have provided a file with some of the data copy and pasted out, to give you an idea of what the values look like.
Following the tips doesn't allow to remove a character.
I exported email addresses from Outlook and they have the following character ' in front of the email address.
Using Excel 2007.. it says :"check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected worksheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet"
So I made a new file, and copied and pasted the cells into the new spreadsheet.. same message.
I'm creating an excel spreadsheet that will be sent out to a few users to enter data into. In this spreadsheet, multiple columns contain drop down lists created using the Data Validation tool. The lists are referencing named ranges on a second worksheet.
In these drop down lists are terms that consists of one or two words. What I'm trying to do is when a user goes to select an option from the drop down list, I want the matching one letter code to be entered into the cell instead. For example, Column AK has drop down list with following options:
Good Moderate Poor
When a user selects one of the options, I want one the following respective letter to appear instead......
Have a slick way to have multiple textboxes on a userform updatable by a single calendar control located on it's own userform.
basically, i have a userform with multiple textboxes. A double click brings up another userform with a calendar control. How do you idenitfy which textbox called up the calendar?
I want to control what a user enters into a single cell based on others.E.g.
A B 1 20 500 2 50 500 3 75 500 4 100 300
Column A is a thickness and column b is a width what I want to happen if the user enters a thickness in cell D1 and a width in cell D2 I want an error to pop up if for instance the user enters 100 as a thickness to only allow a maximum of 300 in the width. likewise if the user enters a thickness less than 100 in cell D1 to allow him to enter up to 500.
We are moving to a new accounting system and we need to import the creditors' master data but there are field length limitations in the new system. I have the full details off our current system and I would like to highlight cells that fall outside of the character length.
I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far Sub trim_text() Dim mytext As String Dim myanswer As Integer mytext = Range("A2") myanswer = Range("B2") Do While myanswer > 60 mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1)) Loop End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?
I have a spreadsheet which uses conditional formatting to highlight cells with certain values. It's works perfectly, except for a single cell. The formatting formula is and should be exactly the same as other cells in the sheet. For whatever reason, this cell will not change with the formatting rules. The cell is not protected, it doesn't have any oddball values or anything that I can see.
I have a large spreadsheet in which I have reached the limit for conditional formatting. (i.e. 2050 rows)
To resolve this I can add a single expression for conditional formatting across all cells. This means I need to create a more complex expression.
I effectively have two types of conditional formatting that are very similar. I have the standard Yes, No & A/L which I wand to shade accordingly. I then have alternating columns of Yes , No , A/L . I have introduced spaces to stop these values from being counted by another formula but still display yes and no. I want the shading to be the same in both cases.
I have built the following expression which does not seem to work.
I have a series of columns (L - X) each representing a diagnosed disorder (Dx), coded as binary, with 1=Positive Diagnosis (Success). The reference cell contains diagnostic codes; for each respective Dx column I need a 1 or 0, obviously. Each Dx category has a range of values (Dx codes), so I need to write syntax that reflects this range. For example, =IF(A1=>141,AND(A1=<239.99)),"1","0")
In other words, if cell value is 141 through 239.99 then return 1, else 0
Would it be something like this: =IF(AND(A1=>141,OR(A1=<239.99)),"1","0")
I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
I have a cell which will contain SER01+SER02+SER03
and what i need it to contain is [SER01]+[SER02]+[SER03]
and shocker is i've got this to work for the first instance but not the other two
code as below... be grateful for your help
Sub measure1() Dim list As String, pos As Integer, refl As String, refr As String, newlist As String list = Cells(1472, 16).Value pos = InStr(list, "+") refl = Left(list, pos - 1) refr = Right(list, pos + 1) newlist = "[" & refl & "]" Cells(1472, 17) = newlist End Sub
Within the ComboBox properties, is there anyway to control after "enter" his hit, you move to the right instead of down (similar to the edit under Tools/Options)?
I would like to format cells with a currency based on a value selected at the top of my worksheet. Cell C3 is a drop down of currencies. And I would like cells range E11:E200 to format in whatever currency selected in cell C3.
I have created a userform within VBA which has a TreeView Control and a Spreadsheet control on it.
I have populated the TreeView control with data and what I want to be able to do is to drag the nodes off the TreeView control to the spreadsheet control.
I can drag onto a normal worksheet but not onto the spreadsheet control (the no drop mouse pointer keeps showing).
How do I determine which control the user is currently modifying on a multipage form (either changing, enterying or exiting the specific control). when I use "userform1.activecontrol" i get "multipage1" as the control name but I need the actual control on the specific active multipage. (also the .TABINDEX is for the multipage regardless of the on-page control) I use a generic data-field change SUBroutine so need the control name (and the TABINDEX) to provide my SELECT CASE. (so every fieldname_CHANGE calls the same SUB [with no parameters])
Need a formula/code that will determine what the corrected part number should be (insert dashes if they are missing) by comparing to other values in the list.
