VBA Macro To Create & Format Text Box On Worksheet
I have code that creates a textbox on a worksheet, copies the contents of a cell from another worksheet to that textbox. I want to be able to select that text and format its appearence ( center the text, bold and font style and size). This is what I have so far but I do not know how to select the text that was imported. Sub textmove() Dim bname As String Sheets("cover").Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 96.75, 512.25, _ 230.25, 120#).Name = "client" bname = Sheets("data").Range("a3").Value Sheets("cover").Shapes("client").TextFrame.Characters.Text = bname With Selection.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=17).Font .Name = "Arial" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With End Sub

How To Create Comments In Excel
Currently we have an excel sheet in which it contains four sheets(sheet1,sheet2, sheet3 and sheet4). In this sheet1,sheet2,sheet3 and sheet4 there is some text data in the columns. what we are looking is we want a comment box to appear when one moves the cell focus in a sheet (sheet3 or sheet4) to a cell in the field column. In the comment box it should display the data which is in the other sheets(sheet1,or sheet2). The items in the comment box should be data field column,fight type,Defect colour, and list in english column. The comment should be temporary..i.e it appears when focus is on the particular cell in column field and disappers when focus is moved to another cell.

Add To Comments With VBA
I know that you can add a comment to a cell using a statement like Range("A1").AddComment "Hello" But is it possible to add more text to that comment using VBA? I tried things like Range("A1").AddComment "Hello." Range("A1").Comment = Range("A1").Comment + " How are you?" but I guess I can't alter the comment that way.

Colouring Lines Of Text In Comments With VBA
I currently have some code which reads a stock file, adding up the stock for each individual item (which may be in one or more locations in the warehouse) and then placing the total stock count in a cell with the detail (of how much stock is in each location, the location and the expiry date) and a separate line for each location, in a comment. The comment is constructed one line at a time as the code finds the stock records, see code below: With shtWorking.Range(strStartColumn & intRow + 2) oldComment = .Comment.Text .Comment.Delete .AddComment oldComment & vbNewLine & strComment .Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True End With All this works very nicely, but I want to colour individual lines depending on the expiry date. This can be done manually in Excel, but I cannot find a way of colouring individual lines of text in a comment using VBA. So, does anyone know of a way I can colour individual lines of text in a comment, using VBA?

Index/match Displayed In Comments Using VBA
I am using index/match to dynamically populate a table in 'sheet2' based on data in 'sheet 1' The index/match in the cells is: =IF(IF(ISNA(INDEX(Attend,MATCH($A4&C$2,ID_2,0),6)),"",(INDEX(Attend,MATCH($A4&C$2,ID_2,0),6)))=0,"",(IF(ISNA(INDEX(Attend,MATCH($A4&C$2,ID_2,0),6)),"",(INDEX(Attend,MATCH($A4&C$2,ID_2,0),6))))) Attend = Named Range ID_2 = Named Range The index/match will return a value for each cell in the table (from column 6 in this instance); the values are either numbers (1-6) or text (or a blank if there are no matches). What I would like to display in the comments box is the value of the adjacent cell in sheet 1 (ie index/match from col 7) when the match was a number between 1-6. I've been struggling with VBA for an index/match based on cell offset, triggered by a worksheetchange? that is then used with .clearcomment and .addcomment when the cell value 16 to dynamically display comments.

How To Create A User Input Dialog Box
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.

Create A Dropdown Box (data Validation)...
We've got a dropdown box (data validation - list) which is picking up data from a specific column. The data in the column is in the following format: 1 Sales 2 Contracts 18 Opening Stock 27 Purchase etc When we select an entry from the dropdown box the cell obviously displays both the number and the text description to the right. What we need it to do is just display the number after selecting an item from the list. The text is descriptive and to make it easier for users. Is there a way of configuring the dropdown box (or another way) so that say if a user selects "1 Sales" from the dropdown it just displays "1" in the cell.

Create The Dropdown Box And Insert The Text
I am trying to make some drop down boxes, but it seems a little different than word. In word I create the driopdown box and insert the text that I want on the list. I can't seem to do this in excel. For example, I have a cell that is labled RANK, and below it, I want the drop down box to have the option AB AMN A1C and SrA. How can I create this? Once I found out, I think I can do the other combo boxes my self.

Using VBA To Create VBA Code On The Fly
I have a vba module that reads a value from a txt file and saves that value in a variable called "iniInfo". I want to permanently assign that value programatically by using VBA code to create a Public variable e.g. "PUBLIC CONST conFIg = iniInfo" in my modGlobalVar Module. (Of course, this would only create the code if the "conFig" variable doesn't already exist.)

Runtime Error 1004 :: User Create Forumula In A Combo Box
The app. that I have been developing requires the user to create a formula in a combobox in a userform that I have setup for them. They have a list of variables that they can choose from, which they are allowed to use in their formula creation. A typical formula may look like this: =SUM(25*DistFromBack) where DistFromBack = 4 I then take their formula and place it out on the sheet which returns me a value of (in this case) 100. Now this works fine until someone wrote a formula that looked like this: =SUM((25*DistFromBack) Now with the double brackets at the front it creates a formula that Excel cant deal with and gives me a 'Runtime error 1004'. I have tried to trap this error (On Error Goto .....) but unsucessful. I would really like to have a check when the user types an erronous formula, but dont really know how to go about it.

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

VBA To Create New Sheet ...
I would like to be able to have a macro, linked to a button, so that when you press that button it creates a new named sheet based on data in a particular cell. I.e. There is a table with the following data: Apples (A1) Oranges (A2) Pears (A3) There are also the sheets Apples, Oranges & Pears. You enter 'Grape' in cell A4, then when you press the button it creates a new sheet named Grape. Also when a new sheet is created, the 'input cell', in this case A4, is moved down one so that when the next sheet is needed to be added, it doesn't just add the same sheet (i.e. in the example above, we don't end up with a new sheet named 'Grape' each time we click the button).

Create Tag In VBA?
I found this really cool code that creates a tag cloud in Excel using VBA. It's far too complex for my understanding but I was hoping I could get some of the experts opinions on here about modification possibilities. I have attached the macro-enabled 2007 workbook. What I am trying to do is search through a list of keywords and determine each keyword's density within a list. The list for example could look like this: slow windows xp windows xp running slow windows xp computer [slow windows xp] [windows xp running slow] [windows xp computer] [computer running slow windows xp] "computer running slow windows xp" "slow windows xp" "windows xp running slow" "windows xp computer" You'll notice the characters " [ ] of which I would like to ignore when the cloud builds. The cloud would list the most dense keywords first, and gradually decrease to the least dense keywords. The macro code is inside the workbook but I'll list it here to:

Create Comparison Code In VBA
I have to do monthly comparisons of two excel worksheets, one being a vessel timesheet and the other being an excel download from manpower software that we use. The comparison that is being made are days of the month, whilst the unique identifier between the two sheets (To make it easier to understand I will call them sheet1 and sheet2) is an employee ID. Both sheets, alongside the name and employee ID, list all the days of the month that employees have worked. If they have worked, there is a "1" under that day, if they have not the cell is blank. What I currently do manually is: 1: Search for the employee ID (and/or name) in sheet1 and compare the days with the employee ID in sheet2. 2: Highlight the differences 3: Move onto the next employee ID All differences are highlighted in sheet2. Differences highlighted are in the days only, where if any days are missing/extra in either sheet, then the particular cell(s) are highlighted in yellow. If an employee is missing from sheet1 but is in sheet2, then all the days are highlighted (in sheet2). If an employee is missing from sheet2 but is in sheet1, then that particular employee is copied to the bottom of sheet2 (after last row). As this is horribly complicated to explain, I can attach an example if this is sounding rather inexplicable? Is it possible to attach a xls to a thread?

VBA Macro To Create New Worksheet, Charts, Etc.
I need a macro to create the following worksheets and charts from an Excel data set: Three (3) worksheets (already created manually in attached Excel file): 1. Chart Data. (a) Column A in Chart Data is always numbered 1 - 600 (50 years x 12 mos/yr). (b) Column I and column Y data sets (from Prod_Month) created in Chart Data. Each data set can be identified and collated with column F in Prod_Month (API) which is unique for each dataset. 2. Rate vs. Month - plot of Daily Gas (col. Y in Prod_Month) vs. Months (col. A in Chart Data). 3. Rate vs. Time - plot of Daily Gas (col. Y in Prod_Month) vs. Calender Time (col. B et. al. in Chart Data) At a minimum, could someone help me create the Chart Data worksheet from the data in PROD_MONTH? Charting all the columns takes time from Chart Data but any data manipulation macro(s) help.

I also would like to know if it is possible to do automatically fill the To-field with the emailadress from the user who send me the original file.

VBA To Create A Hyperlink Drilldown For Each Cell
I need help in making a VBA to create a looping hyperlink drilldown for each cell in the inventory_general wksht. The purpose of this sheet is to allow a user to click on a hyperlink which will then reference a macro to autofilter the data in the bin_lot worksheet to display all rows for that particular item number. Apparently, you can't select all the cells and insert a hyperlink because all the hyperlinks will reference the first cell value for autofiltering. This is what I tried but it's not working obviously. Sub HyperlinkDrilldown() ' ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:= _ "Bin_Lot!A1", TextToDisplay:=target.value Range("A2:A21").Select End Sub

I have used the FIND button and it works, but when I try to record a macro with it I get stumped.
