I need to create a pyramid in Excel with 5 boxes. It will have 3 levels. The middle level will have 3 vertical boxes and the top and bottom box will be horizontal. How do I create it?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create drop down boxes in a spreadsheet so I can create job sheets from them, I have a small business building cubby houses and I want to create a job sheet from a spread sheet that will have customer name - job number and so on thats the easy bit but I need to have a few drop down boxes so I can just click on what type of cubby they want from a list and what colour roof and what side door will be on and so on instead of having to type all this in for every job.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to create multiple check boxes that will accomplish 2 things.
1. When Checked will display a date in the cell one column to the right.
2. When checked will change colors
Secondly, since i will need to make several hundred of these I would like a macro that will allow me to define how the check box is to behave and then have a macro which will allow me to define all of the settings and then input the number of check boxes that I want and it will create that many boxes.
I recall seeing a macro on here some time ago (at least 1 month prior but no more than 6 months prior) which allowed you to type into a form how many check boxes or option boxes you wanted to create in your workbook, and then it would create that many.
I am trying to create a code to clear check boxes from an excel sheet.
I'm trying to use the same type of macro for clearing normal text, but it does not work on the check boxes.
this is my first attemp at doing a "userform". I am looking for some help in creating a user form that enables users to choose items from drop down boxes, which shows next level drop down list items, then down to final drop down list with information based on first two choices. I've attached the sample file for reference.

I would like the formula to be able to calculate the cost of the components based on the selections made. Based on some research I believe this can be achieved using data validation, indirect function and the vlookup function, however; I'm not quite sure how to go about this.
I have attached the document I have started for reference.

I am trying to create a macro that will create a number of check boxes, which are linked different cells. I have had some success in creating multiple check boxes and having them at the destination I want the problem is that instead of linking to different cells they are all linked to the same cell. I have attached a sample workbook SAMPLE.xlsx

Suppose, if the user writes 7 in a cell, then the pyramid should have 7 rows. The first row will have only one "*" the second would have 3 "*"s and so on... and yes, the whole structure should look like a pyramid.

I have salespeople who I want to pay a bonus to but I've also offered them a bonus on how much the salesmen they referred to the company sell and this goes like a pyramid down 3 levels.
so I have a list of salesmen next to there name is how much they have sold then who introduced them. from this I need to make a list of each salesman and below all the people he introduced and the people they introduced with the sales in the cell next to them.
To show how it could look I've done an example above of the information I need for tom, as you can see all the data is in the first 3 columns and tom needs to show that he introduced bob & Sue, but because Bob & Sue also introduced someone, tom needs to show he was involved in this as well and jo, terry, mark need to show, preferably in a different column as the bonus for them is lower.
I need to create a form that if you were to enter a name in the text box it would fill all the information across that row into other boxes on the form. Basicly if I type John Doe in the text box it would look in col A for John Doe and then put whats in the cells on that row into different boxes on my form. I have tried searching but I have had no luck. Im very new to forms so this is a great experience.

I have six colums (Date; Skill; ST Hrs; OT hrs: Area; Type). I copied and pasted below a small portion of info from the spreadsheet. I know when I copy and paste into a post the information under the headers don't line up exactly...it appears offset, so basically "Date" is of course the date you see..."Skill"'s columns has the first item as nb-mech b..."ST Hrs" first item will be 0.00..."OT Hrs" will be 1.50...."Area"'s first item is "Log FM NO"....and "Type"'s first item is MX07
And there are 17,000 rows of this info and forever growing...a lot of repeated items in each column such as you can see "blaster" has multiple entries on 4/1/2012.
What I am attempting to do which I have not firgured out yet (i have tried array formulas but they bog down the pc forver and couldn't figure out exactly how to make it give me the results I needed...and I also tried sumproducts but that didnt get me what I wanted....and it is being requested of me to NOT make a pivot table but a chart.
What I am trying to create is is the following:
1 - cells to plug in a date range for example cell A1 I plug 4/1/2012 and cell A2 plug 4/30/2012
2 - drop down boxes for columns Skill; Area: Type, which show only unique records in each column
Once I have that, I could then filter all 3 itmes and have only items show in the date ranges I picked and present ONLY the SUMS of columns ST Hrs and OT hrs.
Once the SUMS show up, I can then have cells off to the side that will give a percent break down of what percent of the total hours (for the chose criteria) are ST Hrs and what percent of the total are OT Hrs....and this percentage break down will show up in a Bar Chart, per day chosen in my date ranges....I'm thinking one simple stacked bar per day in the chart.
So say, based on the info below, I wanted to see the total ST Hrs and OT Hrs from 4-1-12 to 4-2-12 for a nb-blaster in LOG FM NO and type MX06.....my result would be 0.00 ST Hrs...23 OT Hrs.....and my bar chart would be one simple bar peaked out at 23 on day 4-1-12.....and within the bar it would be 0.00% ST Hrs and 100% OT Hrs and maybe the total hours for each showing also..don't need that but it may be useful.. ..and no bar for 4-2-12 (because the criteria picked had no hours for 4-2-12)
I have been messign witht is all week and just can't nail it.. I do remember a while ago I would have been able to load the spreadsheet into the post and people could see it in excel...is that option to do that no longer on this site?

Just striving to have this kind of "picture arrangement's macro" to work, macro that whenever you choose a certain cell and operate it on hotkey it'll:
1. Create a new folder named "PicturesAuto" beside the excel file (wherever the excel file located).
2. Inside folder "picturesAuto it'll create a new subfolder named by the same name of the sheet related to that cell you operated the macro upon. (let's say this cell placed on sheet named: "happysheet"- that'll be the name of the subfolder created.)
3. Inside the subfolder "happysheet" it'll create a new subfolder named by the text of the cell you activated the macro upon (let's say you initially operated the macro on B5 cell -which has the text "montana" so it'll create "montana" subfolder also inside subfolder "happysheet")
4. Lastly instead of having only the text "montana" in "B5 cell" like we had initially before activating the macro, the macro'll also add to that text "montana" the link to "montana" folder (path of excel file->picturesAuto->happysheet->montana)
The way I'm planning to use this is to add a lot of HR pictures inside those folders created by the macro that related to that specific sheet, and that specific cell I've activated the macro upon. Plus just having those pictures so organized is just outstanding in every scale, and the excel file will keep running smoothly without any resource consuming overload.

I've got quite of few excel charts to make and have been looking for a way to automate the process. The chart types include line, pie, and bar. Basically, I have data for each state in the US that I am comparing with national level data. Thus each chart will have national level data and the data for each state. What I need is a macro that I can easily change the parameters for because different worksheets have slightly different layouts. I started by using the macro recorder to make a chart. Then I attempted to edit it so that it would run loops to make additional charts. Below is some sample data for the first worksheet I have and my attempted macro.
Sample Data:
Code:
State Characteristic Value07 Value08 Value09
Alaska A 11 23 45
Alaska B 13 22 98
Alaska C 99 91 21
Alabama A 23 14 11
Alabama B 44 62 76
Alabama C 75 47 21[code]....
This code doesn't run at all.

I've used excel to do a lot of managing stuff as far as budgets. I'm not sure if this can be done or how. I'm not to great in excel, So perhaps you can lead me a hand. I'm starting out a home based business and trying to set everything up so I'm ready to officially start. I am planning on getting a scanner to keep track of what comes in and out.
So what I wanted to try was if I scan "A" 4 times I wanted the QTY to be 4 so basically group similar Items move on to "B" and oh crap I found 10 more of "A" scan that and have it updated now to 14. You catch my drift? so I'm not sure if a statement like {if "A" is scanned then the QTY would be +1} Then the sales part would be the opposite of that statement.
I have a bunch of data about companies in an Excel workbook. I need to be able to create a "summary document" about a selected company in word. One of the items that needs to be in this summary is a pie chart.
This code works fine for generating the basic text of the document:
Code:
Sub export_to_word()
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim companyName As String
Dim address As String
Dim revenue As String
[code]....
Creating the chart has been more problematic. I adapted the following code from an example found on MSDN:
Code:
Dim valueChart As Chart
Dim chartWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set valueChart = wrdDoc.Shapes.AddChart.Chart
valueChart.ChartType = xl3DPie
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
chartWorkSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Resize chartWorkSheet.Range("A1:B12")
[code]....
What I've found though is that this code is based on a macro inside the word document, not excel. So it runs fine from within word, but within excel it throws an error at this line
Code:
Set chartWorkSheet = valueChart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1)
because ChartData is not in the object model in Excel. how to proceed at this point.
