In effect the code looks at sheet 'data' and creates new tabs depending on the contents of column f and then pastes data from the entire row into those tabs as appropriate - this is what I asked for and works wonderfully. What I would like it to do is to also copy the format of the row that it is copying. (most importantly the cell borders and colours)
I can (I think) identify the copy and paste elements of the code but have no idea what if anything I can change to make this work.
The code is as follows
HTML Code:
Sub CopyData2()
application.ScreenUpdating = False
Call Sample ' this inputs data into column f
Dim rCell As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
I have a chart with coloring for specific series sets. When I create a similar chart, can I copy the formatting from one range to the other? Why does it default to certain styles?
i have this code at minute to copy information from all my sheets to a summary sheet , is there a way i can modify this code to copy from row 6 to 35 if there is a value in col b on sheet then copy a:bq of that row to summary sheet carry on to end of data , then on next ws copy row 6 as this is machine heading and then same again and loop through all worksheets i have in my array ....
I am attempting to copy some numbers from one spreadsheet to another including the formats. The format I am using is a user-defined one which doesn't normally appear in the list of personalised formats.
My code seems to work fine within the same spreadsheet but fails when I do it using 2 spreadsheets.
This error occcurs when i add some worksheets to a workbook from another one. I am not completely sure (cos this is not my work actually) but it seems to me that there is not really too much (about 4000?) "different" cell formats in the workbook, but there is a quite lot amount of drawing objects (grouped technical drwaings plus autocad objects which i also converted them to bitmaps to overcome the error).
I also dont understand the restriction: If i have 3999 cells formatted "bold" and another 2 formatted "underlined" this should not count 4001. True?
My workbook has about 15 worksheets with each fits to 2 printing pages.
How to copy the cell formats of the copied range in the vba.
Code:
Sub Summary_All_Worksheets_With_Formulas() Dim Sh As Worksheet Dim Newsh As Worksheet Dim myCell As Range Dim ColNum As Integer Dim RwNum As Long Dim Basebook As Workbook With Application
I have a relatively complicated spreadsheet 'process' which involves a number of different people filling in Excel based progress reports, in similar formats (created from the same template), and then invoking a common "publish" VBA macro which opens a common "master" workbook and copies their sheet into the master one ( deleting any previous one of the same name). The master sheet thus contains around 30 similar sheets published from different people, plus a couple of summary sheets. Note I also then copy cells in order to get around the 255 character limit on worksheet copy
All works fine except this week it decided to raise the "Too Many Cell Formats" error when trying to open the master workbook. I didnt know about this error, but apparently there's a limit of around 4000 cell formats per workbook. Given that the individual sheets are similar, I presumed that they wouldnt all have their own cell formats. I dont know how to check the number of different cell formats (it's not the same as checking the number of styles) or how to condense them to avoid any limit.
Looking at the actual styles defined in the master workbook, it seems that styles are duplicated when sheets are copied - I have multiple "normal" and "hyperlink" styles. I dont know why, or how to avoid this.
So - any ideas on how to avoid multiple cell formats (or even styles) when doing a worksheet copy into a different workbook? It needs to be an automated solution (i.e. macro) - I'm not able to go in and perform manual operations every time someone publishes (i.e. copies in) a new worksheet
I have a report which has list of outstanding invoices on Sheet1 and I enter invoice nos and Notes on to DATA sheet then by using Vlookup function I transfer the Notes to Sheet1 under "Notes Column K",
Some reason vlookup doesn't work because of the invoice number's format on Sheet1 doesn't match with the invoice numbers on the DATA sheet because they come from SQL server data base table,
So every time I refresh the Sheet1's data then I need to do Text To Colum on "Colum D" to make it work but this is not a solution because every time I refresh the Sheet1's data Vlookup formula doesn't work.
Is there a SQL formula that I can add to my SQL code which can automatically do Text to Column on the "Column D"?
I do have a 2 tabs with certain sets of data which I need to compare. I have one tab called "NEW" and another one with "PREVIOUS" and unique values in column C in each of them.
I now look for a formular / macro which tries to find the value in cell C2 of the "NEW" tab in the "PREVIOUS" tab. In case there is a match, the cells of columns T to W (of the row where the value was found) should be copied from the "PREVIOUS" tab into the "NEW" tab just to the same place. When there is no success, "NEW PD" should be entered into cell T (of the respective row).
The lists are growing week by week. I can do an offset / match function which will import the plain data, but I cannot get the formats, too. I believe I will need a macro for that but I am too unexperienced to get this to work on my own.
I have a template A that has lines on it, sometimes I want to overlay template B which has other lines on it, however when I past template B on top of A the formats of A are overridden by the formats of template B.
Is there any way of "overlaying" B on top of template A without losing the template A formats?
I have a column of about 1000 records. In each field is a long integer, that has been obtained through a concatenation formula. I have copied the results to a new column and used "paste special, values" to do so. I now have the results in a new column, but the cell format is text and is giving me an error. Even if I pre-format the cells that I will paste into to be a number they do not stay as a number after being pasted into, they still have an error.
I need to run a vlookup on these results but because of the error in the cells the vlookup wont work until they have been changed to a number format. I am able to change the format of the cells to number, no deciaml places, one by one. I have about 1000 records and need to be able to change the cells to number format in one go, as it is too time consuming otherwise.
If I change the format of the cells all together in one go to a number, they do not change unless you double click in them and press enter one by one. Is there a way to change the cell format for all the cells in one go without this laborious process?
I need to change the date format in a cell which also contains text.
The full formula is as follows:- ="Report period: "&TEXT(Control!B9,"dd mmmm yyyy")&" - "&TEXT(Control!B10,"dd mmmm yyyy")
This gives me the following:- Report period: 01 October 2012 - 30 September 2013
What I would like to have is the following:-
Report period: 1st October 2012 - 30th september 2013
It's only a minor change but I think it looks better. Without a hideously complicated formula, if this is possible using one of the standard cell formats?
I understand that exceeding approx 4000 cell formats causes the message "Too many cell formats" and a freezing up Excel.
Are there versions of Excel (2007?, Vista?) for Windows XP that significantly increase the 4000 limit, and if there are, what are their limits on the number of cell formats?
I have got several different workbooks that I use that contain macros that format cells. However, just recently I have had countless problems with the macros telling Excel to format certain cells. There seems to be no logic or order to this. Also, if I then try to format the cells by hand, I get the following error message: "Too many cell formats"
In a single cell, I would like to show 2 values: a currency and a percentage. So A1 and A2 has values, say 50000 and .10 respectively (these are derived via formula, if it's of any relevance). What I ultimately want is "$50,000 and 10%". I've originally thought about adding the "$", " and ", and "%" separately, but I need the currency value to include commas.
I've just recently ran into this Error (Runtime error 1004) "Too many different formats." I'll admit i have a ton of cell formats within my single worksheet. perhaps most are for artistic purposes.
Still, my worksheet as it is causes this error, when running my scripts. When I wipe out all my format color, boarders, etc. my scripts run fine. Is there a maximum amount of cell formats that can be used? I'm using Excel 2003
Is there a way to circumvent this?. Not sure if using Excel 2007 is an option: I've tried opening my project in 2007, but found that all my buttons were missing, plus it seemed to run considerably slower.
In the below link u will find each state driving license formats of ..example for alabama 7 Numeric..for ALASKA Up To 7 Digits..what am i looking is if we select a specific state and then insert any driving license of that state in next cell if the format matches i want that next cell to be true if not false ..wonder if we can create anything like this ..there are about 50 states with different license formats..
I am trying to find dates & time within text in a cell & return to a separate cell. The issue I have is that the date format varies frequently. I also can't rely on searching for "Sent:" as this also varies frequently
e.g. From: ######## Sent: 17 November 2011 11:57
I would like to return 17/11/2011 11:57
From: ####### Sent: 01/11/2011 11:50:13
I would like to return 01/11/2011 11:50
From: ######## Date: 05/11/2011 09:45:13
How can i search for various forms of dates and return them into a cell?
I have the below concatenate formula and it works for what I need..well, almost. I know I don't have the format cells option when using concatenate, but I need the answers to the formula to come out as a percentage or to two decimal places. I have searched and honestly don't understand how to do this in my formula....
I am attempting to create a template to make time and dollar budgets for various projects easier to create (20 plus projects a year with varying number of employees).
I want to have a template in which you input the number of employees working in a cell (IE. 3 employees), and with that the table expands to have enough rows to have 3 employees data input. However, only insert the number required but not overriding "totals" row below. With the new inserted rows I would like to keep the same format and formula for the row it was based on.
if i input 75 in cell G2, the value in A7:E7 will paste or will display in A2:E2 or if i input 76 in cell G2, the value in A8:E8 will paste or will display in A2:E2 or if i input 90 in cell G2, the value in A9:E9 will paste or will display in A2:E2 or if i input 78 in cell G2, the value in A10:E10 will copy or will display in A2:E2
I have found this code by searching witch is perfect
Code: If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub Application.ScreenUpdating = False Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 With Target 'With the cell that was selected, .EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 .EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True
The point is that i want to retain the previous formatting of cells when i select another cell. And also i would like to create a switch to turn the Worksheet_SelectionChange event on and off. The tricky part is here i guess, becouse i would like when turned off to retain the previous formatting also.
I have a cell (A1) that contains text. That text will match a single value in a reference list (i.e. range of cells e.g. Z1:Z26). When the match occurs (e.g. A1 = Z16), I want the format of the reference cell (fill color, text color) to apply to the cell of interest (A1). The reference cells are manually formatted.
I know that I could create a long list of conditional format formulas instead of using the reference, but it seems that there must be some way to tell excel: if the cell value contents are equivalent, the formatting should be as well.
Is there any way you can use VBA to assign a key to toggle between two different cell formats? I want to toggle a cell from white border with black text to black border with white text and visa versa, with the same key or button. I've searched the posts but can't find this mentioned.
The problem is when I highlight a row with some color the original color of the row is gone, so I tried this code, and again, it's removing the original format and color for the row This is the code from McGimpsey & Associates : Excel : Highlight row with background colors
Code: PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Const cnNUMCOLS AsLong=256 Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR AsLong=36'default lt. yellow Static rOld As Range Static nColorIndices(1To cnNUMCOLS)AsLong Dim i AsLong IfNot rOld IsNothingThen'Restore color indices
[code].....
How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?
