Formatting Worksheet: Re-adjust The Worksheet To Make It More User Friendly Based On Number Of Rows In Current Sheet

Oct 14, 2008

I have a worksheet with 30,000 rows. But sometimes even if I have fewer records in this worksheet(lets say 1000) worksheet shows the same 30,000 rows.And its annoying when you try to navigate using vertical scroll bar. Is there any option to re-adjust the worksheet to make it more user friendly based on number of rows in current sheet.

User Friendly Multiple Sheet Navigator

Mar 8, 2008

I ‘m trying to put a drop down combo box on each sheet (around the top right) of a workbook (20+ sheets). The drop down list will have each sheet in the workbook. Selecting the sheet name in the list will make that sheet the active sheet. I plan to remove the tabs from the window, because only about a third of the tabs display at once, and right clicking to the right of the tabs only displays about 2/3 of the sheets.

When I was searching this topic, I found a post that used AllWorkSheets function to create an array of worksheet names and the procedure adds it to the data validation in cell "A1". I don’t have the same cell available on all the sheets, at least not at the top of the page, so I thought a combo box that can be moved would be a good solution, but I’m open to any suggestions that allows the user to navigate the sheets w/o a macro always running or a form always open.

User Friendly Way To Display Range Value

Jul 14, 2009

I am writing a macro in which the user selects several ranges (entire columns) for the macro to manipulate. I display a userform to the user that contains 16 refedit objects (1 for each range that they picked). Unfortunately, the value that appears in the refedit boxes is not very user-readable. It looks like this:

'[WorkBookName.XLS]Sheet1'!$B$5

I can assume that all of the ranges will reside in the same workbook, so I have been cutting the workbook name portion off as a string and displaying it in 1 place only. I can leave the value of the refedit as: Sheet1'!$B:$B, but even that is not very friendly. Of course if I do change the value of the refedit controls then I will need to "fix" them before attempting to access the range.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to display the sheet and column of the range to the user?

Correct Way To Set-up A Spreadsheet So It's User Friendly

Jun 5, 2009

attached is a sample schedule, there is conditional formatting in all of the cells (see graphic) such that if the cells to the left are the same value, then the cell is turned white, and a border is removed.

This gives the appearance of a 'block of time' while which cleans up the appearance of the spreadsheet.

the problem i have is that when we scroll to the RIGHT, we lose track of the 'left most' cell...which is black of course, the similar ones to the right are intentionally whitened out.

a perceived solution would be to change the conditional formatting of the column (actually only the cells in the column we care about) when it is NEXT to the vertical freeze pane so that it appears not in white, but in black font, etc.

the TRICKY part is that we will obviously need to go back and forth, so the columns will need to change formatting often.

or

when the column number (or letter) next to the freeze pane changes, change the formatting to certain cells in that column to an alternate version; and change the formatting of all other certain cells within other columns to original formatting[

Excel 2007 :: User Friendly Clickable Button?

Sep 5, 2013

I have a file that contains detailed sales information for each sales person. It typically contains over 20k records and the managers find it difficult to look up their sales people.

Currently it is subtotaled for each sales person but there are about 450 sales people across the country and it's not easy to use.

I have seen other Excel files that use buttons and I am wondering if this might be the solution to this issue. In other words, can I create a button where the managers can just click it, key in their sales person's name and get at the records easier? If so, how does that work? How I could make this file more user friendly.

Macro To Create Index With Hyperlinks To Worksheet Headers

Apr 9, 2014

Can't seem to attach sample Widgets.xls. I need a macro to take the heading (note heading not sheet name) from each worksheet on a workbook (or from a range of nominated worksheets in case I don't want to index the first or last few sheets) and use it as the Description for a Index entry on a nominated sheet e.g. Sheet named 'Index'. In addition that each Description is also a hyperlink back to the sheet with the heading. In this way users can click between each entry on the index to go to the sheet and then click on the heading on the sheet to go back to the index.

Index Sheet

M21, M22 and M22-A BICYCLES1
Q21, Q22 and Q22-A BICYCLES2
R21, R22 and R22-A BICYCLES3

Taking this one step further I ideally want to save this workbook as a pdf and the hyperlinks to remain.

Excel VBA - Create Hyperlinks To Index Sheet

Feb 26, 2014

I am trying to place a hyperlink on each worksheet to an Index worksheet. This is what I come up with so far, and it does not work.

Code:
Sub CreateIndexHyperlinks()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ws.Range("H1"), Address:="", SubAddress:="Index", TextToDisplay:="Back to Index"
Next ws
End Sub

It successfully puts the words "Back to Index" into cell H8 of every worksheet, but this cell does not link back to the Index sheet (which is called "Index"), the way I want it to.

I don't really understand the Address and SubAddress part of the argument for the Hyperlinks.Add method. I am guessing the Address part is "" because I am linking to a place in the same workbook. Is that right?

I tried changing the SubAddress to Worksheets("Index") and Worksheets("Index").Range("A1") but that just resulted in an error message.

Create A Dynamic Array So That When A User Enters The First Sheet Name Via An Input Box

Nov 20, 2008

I'm trying to create a dynamic array so that when a user enters the first sheet name via an input box, excel will know to select the other sheets with ending (2), (3), (4) etc.

Currently this code works only if there are 4 sheets present (as I set this way), anything lower/higher is out of range.

How do I make it so that it will select sheets if there are less than 4 sheets present?

I tried nesting, but I pretty sure this array needs redimming or something. Is ubound a better option?

Index - Match Function To Output Data Based On User Input

Apr 30, 2009

I have a list of data that I'm using the index - match function to output data based on user input.

For example, I have:

1 10
2 15
3 20

So when '1' is selected another cell outputs '10'.

However what I want is for example if 1.25 is input, I want it to interpolate to spit out the correct number between 10 and 15.

INDEX(MATCH Using Value From One Worksheet To Locate Data In Another Worksheet

Feb 13, 2009

Here is the situation:

On Sheet1:

A
123
456
789

On Sheet2:

D, G
aaa123, 11
bbb456, 22
ccc789, 33

I would like the function to search strings within an array on Sheet2 for a value on Sheet1 (that is, to search for 123 within the strings aaa123, bbb456, ccc789,etc.). Once a match is found, I would like the function to return another value from the same row on Sheet2 that contains the value from Sheet1 (within the string).

Can you help me?

I must use cell references for the values on Sheet1 because I am working with thousands of unique supplier numbers. In addition, all cell formats are general. I prefer to use the INDEX(MATCH combination rather than the VLOOKUP option.

How To Create A User Input Dialog Box

Nov 13, 2008

I have a macro that's running quite well and is cross-posted here:

[url]

What I need to do is allow for user input. I want to create a dialog box that pops up and asks for an input range, when the user runs the macro. Values can only be from 1 - 50. And the user won't be allowed to select broken sequences, like 6, 9, 12-15.

They would have to be continuous, i.e. 6 - 15, etc. I'm still very new to VBA. I can play with the control toolbox, but I have very little understanding of how to interface with the components that I'm adding/creating. Once I have that range, I want to use the inputs as the 'start' and 'stop' points for my loop. So I need to capture the values and pass them as input parameters, I'm guessing.

I can modify the loop to accept the inputs, I'm just not sure how to capture them from a user input dialog box.

User Defined Functions - How To Create One

Jun 17, 2013

I have a mental block when it comes to writing functions.

In a cell I have the Post Code followed by a "#" sign (no speech marks) and sometimes more text

e.g. FY6 8JF#ABCD (where the Post Code is FY6 8JF)

The "#" sign always indicates where the Post Code ends, i.e. I want to return all the characters to the left of the "#" sign.

In a spreadsheet I would accomplish this with "=LEFT(AA14,FIND("#",AA14,1)-1)"
where the string of interest is in cell "AA14"

How do I write a UDF to do this?

Excel 2010 :: How To Create Macro To Insert INDEX And MATCH

Jan 20, 2012

Using Excel 2010, I am trying to create a macro to insert INDEX and MATCH formulas on a sheet that reference Tables on the same sheet.

The formula works fine when entered in a cell where I can point to the Table. Now I need to put the formula in a macro where it will automatically reference the first Table on the sheet.

Here is an example of the formula:

Code:

=INDEX(Table1891034445678912822253536[#All],
MATCH($I35,Table1891034445678912822253536[L/I],0)+1,
MATCH(L$34,Table1891034445678912822253536[#Headers],0))

Just look at that Table name!!

The original file has multiple sheets and multiple Tables on each sheet. No naming convension was used in naming the sheets or Tables.

Can I cycle through all the Tables on a sheet and rename each of them? For example, find the first Table on the sheet closest to cell A1 and rename it Table 1, find the next Table and rename it Table 2, etc.

Is there a way to reference Tables based on an index (similar to sheets)? Is there a Table(1) and Table(2) referencing system? Is it on a per sheet basis or across the entire workbook? That is, can there be more than one Table(1) in a file?

Can I start in cell A1 and find the first instance of a Table and return the name or index of that Table?

Create User Input For LARGE Function

May 18, 2009

I want to create a user input for a "LARGE" function so that I can then return the specified # of "large" items. i.e. user wants to get the top X number of users, user then enters number either into a dialog box or cell, code then looks at the number and populates a range of cells based on the input value. The current code that I am using simply refers to an existing table (r9:r30) that I then used the auto fill to copy to cells below it.

=INDEX(Sheet2!B$20:B$961,MATCH((LARGE(Sheet2!$F$20:$F$961,$R9)),Sheet2!$F$20:$F$961,0))

I really want to be able to just get a user dialog box going that will automatically populate both the range r9:rx (where X is the user input) and then also copy the above formula into the x number of cells below it.
