I have a simple macro that allows for inserting cells above the selected cell. It actually inserts 2 cells: above the selected one and above the one immediately to the right on the same row.
I need to add 2 features to prevent mess ups:
- The Active cell should only be on column "N" and after row 15 on the sheet. Any other cell selection should be ignored or ideally pop a warning to prompt user to select a > N15 cell.
- An OK/Cancel dialog box that pops up before execution and reads:
"Are you sure you want to skip "text_of_selected_cell" for date "text_of_Column-13_cell_on_same_row"?"
Sub SkipDayRelative()
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1:B1").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
End Sub
I have a spreadsheet with ~30,000 rows of data that is using the "NOW" function. The endusers are having an issue with the spreadsheet having to recalculate everytime they run a filter as the spreadsheet recalculates the formulas everytime. Is there a way to turn the autocalculate off for this spreadsheet only when it is opened?
I need the formulas to calculate once only when the sheet is initially opened but then turned off after that. When user closes the spreadsheet, the autocalculate needs to be turned back on.
In Excel 2007, I'm writing a macro to create several charts (column) that need to match what a designer has already built. I'm having a devil of a time finding the code I need to create parts of the chart. I've searched the web and this forum, but I must just not be asking the right things.
I can see everything I want to do in the format pop-up window when I right click on the charts in Excel, here is the path:
1) Format Minor Gridlines, Line Style, Dash Type, Rounded Dot 2) Format Axis, Axis Options, Major tick mark type, None 3) Format Axis, Axis Options, Position Axis, Between tick marks
I have a table in rows 19:39, and I have assigned this macro to a button. If a new table needs to be inserted "just press the button", and I would like it to insert a new table below the last table created. So, I thought it was Selection.Insert Shift:=xlLastRow + 1, however, this just seems to push down the previous table created by pressing the button.
(I have more code that only formats the table after insert, but am not showing it here, since for testing I have 'd it all out).
The worksheet is basically a sales funnel and I want to use a drop down menu selection in ever row of column Z to update the relevant cell, based on the selection, in the same row, column Q to Y, with a date stamp which will then not change as the drop down is progressively changed to suit the relevant stage of the job.
I am using vba to control internet explorer and return the inner html. To do this I have something like:
Dim arrinnerhtml As Variant
arrinnerhtml = IE.document.body.innerhtml
My problem is that I can’t get the meta description and keywords tags. The title tag seems relatively easy using:
Dim Title As String
Title = ie.document.Title
Is there a relatively simple way to do this for the description and keywords tags? It’d be nice if it was ie.document.description although it doesn’t seem to be. I’m obviously missing a trick here.
how to liberate only the sheets already opened by this user, even after he/she has closed the workbook? It means that when this user re-open the workbook, only the password for this step (workbook) and of course for the sheets still closed (not yet visited), will be requested...
There will be about 20 users, accessing the same file (at least 8 or 9 at the same time), and each one has a different level. For this reason the workbook is also protected: depending on the username and password, I'm trying let excel "knows" what sheet each user can open, without type a password again. trying to illustrating: (all users and password are added by me, using a MasterSheet)
user1 ----- already unprotected sheet9 ----- can open sheet1 to 9 (no password, even re-opening the workbook) to open the sheet10, a username and a password are required
user2 ----- unprotected sheet3 ----- can open sheet1 to 3 (no password, even re-opening the workbook) to open the sheet4, a username and a password are required
I have data in an Excel worksheet that needs to be entered into a proprietary programme. I believe this is possible using SendKeys but as I need to keep switching back to Excel to get the next bit of data I am unsure as to how to go about this. The program would already be open as it is a dial up situation and I would have to dial into the relevant site first.
I am working on an Excel macro which uses the Shell function to open another application, the AppActivate statement to change focus to that application, and then a series of SendKeys statements to perform tasks for which keystrokes (hotkeys) are available. However, there is one step in the process which does not have a hotkey available, but requires clicking on a drop-down with the mouse. Is there a way to have an Excel macro "click" on something for which a hotkey is not available?
I would like to do something similar to wiL with an employee drop down list. As the user begins to type the name, the drop down would narrow the choices alphabetically or the user could select the drop down list then hit the first letter of the name and go to that letter of the list (i.e. selecting "M" to go to the portion of the list that starts with "M").
I am working on an excel sheet (2007) with about 8 pivots from the same data (huge db). The 8 pivots take a different cuts of data. One filter element is same across all pivots. (For instance let us say that filter is City names: with 10 different city values in it- NY, London, Chicago etc)
What I would like to do is have a system where I just chose NY in one place and all the 8 pivots should use NY as one of the filters and refreash the data accordingly.
What I am doing now is I got to each pivot, choose NY first and then refreash all for the data.
I have a workbook that contains spreadsheets that serve as input sheets to generate reports (other spreadsheeets within the workbook). I did not create user forms as I find them cumbersome to do so. Instead I formatted the input sheets to be extremely user friendly. I protected the sheets so that user can only access the unlocked cells that require inputs.
Question:
Is it possible to control the movement of the cursor by both tab and enter like is done in the user forms. The input cells are spread out in various locations on the spreadsheet - therefore, I would like to drive the direction of the cursor as to what cell to go next after an input is made and entered by either hitting the enter button or tab button.
I have several toggle buttons on a spreadsheet for the user to choose which month they want data for. Can anyone tell me how I can make the toggle button that is in the down position change to the up position and not execute the command again when one of the other toggle buttons is pushed?
Imagine a rectangular box, with a horizontal line across it, drawn using excel cells.
This is a representation of a screen that comes in 2 sections - sometimes the upper section is largest, sometimes the lower. (Sky above, land below for example) Is there a way to draw and control the position of the line in this box, , so that by adding a numeric value in two adjecent cells, for example 75 25 would give more "sky" (the line towards the bottom) and 25 75 would give more "land" (The line towards the top)?
1) What function can I use to replace a specific cell in spreadsheet 2 with what I type in a specific cell in spreadsheet 1 (e.g. type red in spreadsheet 1 in A1 and it will replace a blank cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 with red)? I have around a hundred spreadsheets which I need to name by typing a name in cell A1. Rather than doing this, I already have the names of the spreadsheets in a column.
2) Is there anyway to control the attributes of cells in another spreadsheet? E.g. change to bold, red and specific size font in cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 using cell A1 in spreadsheet 1.
I have a userform created to enter clients information which by submitting goes to sheet1 ..
Now the challenge is i want to make sure that no duplicate entries are entered thru userform.
And if duplicate company name is entered then all the client details of the other fields of the userform shall display the values of previous entry so that i can edit the latest changes to the sheet.
A while back I was assisted with trying to prevent excessive screen flashing...
I was originally using the Application.ScreenUpdating=False method...but it was still a little jumpy... so Richard Schollar (a valued member in our forum) helped me with this code and it seemed to work...
Now I am trying to apply it again to another macro and it is not working so well. The thing I found is that on some people's computers it does work well, but not on mine.
Does anyone know why that is and how I can fix it so it doesn't flash on mine either?
The below code and variances of it has always worked for me when controling he pivot fields, however this no longer works in excel 2010 and i cannot seem to come up with a work around.
Code: Sub Pivot_Date() Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim pvtTable As PivotTable Dim pvtField As PivotField Dim pvtItem As PivotItem Dim filterCell As String
[Code] .......
Its worth noting that this will work wen selecting all but not for individual fields. I have also tried skipping the loop ad simply setting the current page to the ilter cell but this doesn't work either.
I am trying to change the text that appears on a button on a worksheet via a macro. There is only one button on the worksheet so in the macro I use
MyCaption = activecell.value 'Pick up the button text from the spreadsheet For each sh in activesheet.shapes sh.caption = MyCaption 'I know this would do all, but only one button as I said next sh
which generates "Object doesn't support this property or method".
This is strange because if you get the properties box up, Caption definitely shows as a property of a button control.
I have a userform with 24 text and combo boxes. Aside from using the enter and exit events, is there an easy way to have the active text/combo box be highlighted in a color?
I have a spreadsheet that has a couple of columns that ask for "Move In Date" and the other "Move Out Date". These dates are used in other calculations so there can be only one or the other in each row. I have users that mistakenly either leave both blank or both popluated. Is there a way to stop them with a message telling them that a date needs to be entered or deleted, maybe with data validation?
After organizing my data I now need to export to a simple txt file. But I need to control to final format better then the simple "save as" allows. What I need is a simple list of in a single column, separated by a carriage return. I am working with a "small" list of addresses, and by small I mean 27,188.
Every format I try ends up with quotation marks and a strange box like symbol. What I have is a full name and 2 line address per field in .xlsx format. I also have the data separated into fields by line.
Is there any way to better control the output when exporting to a .txt file?
- 12 unique values in column 6 which represent states within the country. - 7 unique values in column 25 which represent the types of services. - 5 unique values in column 27 which represent the days for doing the services.
I also have a user form that contains CheckBoxes equivalent to all above unique values, and I want the CheckBoxes to do the duty of a filter, whereby after selecting the needed CheckBoxes and clicking on a seperate botton "creating report", I want to show on the spread sheet only the rows of the values being checked and all other rows which don't contain the needed values should be either hidden or deleted.
On my attached example (ProjectDBTrial.xls) I have a number of sheets. Data containing all the relevant project data, Search which functions similarly to a MS Access Query (this is where the coding is) and the other relevant sheet is Portfolio_Dash which will end up being dashboard.
My aim is to allow the Search function to be controlled from the Portfolio_Dash Sheet. For example - if the user were on the Dashboard and he chose the project "Magnus". This would then select Magnus in the Search/Query, populate all the Magnus data in the search and then the Dashboard would take the information straight from the Seach Sheet.
At the moment the code (seen below) requires me to select the project on the search sheet drop down. Also a bit of a bug is that as soon as I click off the Search sheet and back on it resets.
Any way to control the search function from the Portfolio_Dash sheet. The reason I cannot Make the Porfolio dash sheet the query is it has to have a very specific graphical template applied that will not work well with the function built in.
CODE: Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() [c3] = "Type your search here." [c3].Select End Sub Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
I'm using excel to open a new word document, stick some text on different lines and then save and close. The trouble is, I want to bold the titles but when I do I either bold or unbold the entire document. The codes looks like this:
With wrdDoc With .Content .InsertAfter "TEST" .Bold = True End With
