I know I can use Filter and filter out characters like &'!/; but that takes too long because I have a lot of lists to go through with thousands of entries. There must be a macro that will close spaces between words when only one space exists, but eliminate every word if 2 or more spaces exist between words - as well as eliminate unwanted characters like the ones I described above. I know I could use substitute and eliminate the spaces between words =substitute(a1," ","") but then I'd have to filter each and every instance of unwanted character.
I have set the default in Excel to move across to the next cell after I press Enter. This is fine for most workbooks but I have a particular workbook in which it would be preferable (save keystrokes) for the cursor to move down one cell. Is it possible to have one action as the default but another for a particular workbook?
Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?
I have a formulas in Sheet1 linked to other sheets, but I have only formula and there are no sheets ( eg: in sheet 1 A1 =Data!A1) where as there is no sheet called Data. I have a macro to import this sheets from a different file.
The problem I am facing is, after importing the sheets, the formula still shows #REF but if I do double click the cell or press F2 and then "Enter" the value appears. I have about 1200 formulas in this sheets.
But it will not calculate. I have gone to Tools - Options - Calculation to see if calculation is set to Manual but it is Automatic. Is there another setting or have I exceeded some limit?
I have developed a Userform button in Excel 2010 using the developer icons, which when clicked on with my mouse it runs my super dooper macro. It works great!
But one thing I want to have happen is to have the choice of using the Enter key to start the macro or use the left mouse button
For example, I place data in (say) cell A1 and the userform button is in cell A2. When I place the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves down to A2, but doesn't highlight the user button. When I press the Enter key again, the cursor moves to cell A3.
What I want is when I fill in the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves to cell A2 and selects the button, so that when I press the Enter key again, it activates the macro.
I've exhausted my search engine skills and I'm about 99.9% sure Excel is incapable. This message board has been great over the years of figuring out even the trickiest of problems, but is there any functionality in 2003 or the slight possibility that after a user inputs a number in a cell (no tab, no enter) that it will move to the next cell.
After reading about this, most people say it is not possible even with VBA or Macro, and I certainly believe it, but the whiny, and horrible department that I work for are curious if this is possible. So, is it? If this is the wrong area for this questions, I apologize, I was considering putting this in the Macro/VBA area, but I gave up in deciding where to post this.
I need to change the way Exel move the focus when I press return in a cell. For example when I am in column 1 and press return, I want the focus to move to column 4. If I am on column 5 I need to go on the first column of the next line, etc ...
I think I am suppose to use ActiveCell.Offset(1,0), and ActiveCell.Offset(-4,1) for my 2 examples. But my question is what is the VBA code for: "do that when I press enter and I am in this column"?
I believe this is a little basic for this forum; but, I haven't been able to find a good answer just searching the web.
I have a spreadsheet that I am entering single digit numbers in each cell. I would like the cursor to automatically jump to the next cell to the right after the number is entered (without having to hit the right arrow key).
This vlookup has been in this workbook for years. All of a sudden any of the cells that have formulas won't work without placing the cursor after the formula in the bar and hitting enter.
I am working with a VBA userform and several textbox's, setting SetFocus and or TabIndex doesn't leave the box ready to accept input and there is no cursor shown to indicate it is ready to accept input.
I have a cell (H27) which has a (sum) total in and have attached a NAME FRED. This is fine as long as the client doesn't add a row above it. If they do when I re-open the sheet the NAME doesn't stay attached to the cell (now H28)
Is there a way to keep the NAME attached to the cell regardless where it is?
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object) Range("$H$27").Name = "Fred" End Sub
I've created an excel workbook with multiple sheets. One of the sheets is the "Master Sheet" and I used the formula =INDIRECT("'Master Sheet'!A"&ROW(A2)) so that columns A and B on every sheet match exactly what I input into the A and B columns on the Master Sheet. I used this formula because it would allow me to insert rows on the Master Sheet and have that reflected in the other sheets.
However, I've realized that this means the data I am inputting on the other sheets gets misaligned because if I make a change on the Master Sheet it the A and B columns on the other sheets, but all the rest of the columns on the other sheets stay where they are. How to make the rows shift up and down together on the other sheets.
Usually when I select a number of cells with my cursor excel adds up the cells and shows a total on the bar. It's stopped doing this now and will only show the 1st cell showing "max=No"
I was able to input barcode reader data into A1, and automatically get the date inserted into B1. I wish the next activecell to be C1, instead of A2 as the above code is doing at the moment - so how do I alter the code above to make this happen?
I want a macro which will move cursor to right cell of the same row when the user will press enter in a particular sheet of particular workbook. I have tried the ToolsoptionsEditmove selection after enter , but this applies to excel as a whole and needs to be change every time if another worksheet or workbook is used and thus creating difficulty.
Can this be done through a macro as I need the cursor to move to right cell only for a particular worksheet and for a particular workbook?
I want to do a arrangement for a file like this " wherever cursor moves in excel that particular cell will highlight with color and once it goes to some other cell that last highlighted cell will come as a ordinary cell"
I want to be able to enter a single digit figure into a cell and have the cursor move automatically to the next cell to the right. then enter a figure in there and have it do the same thing. is this possible and, if so, how?
I work with a sheet with active columns B thru I, which get daily numeric entries. The problem is that I have to enter data in columns H & I first, then go back to B thru G. how to force the cursor to jump to column B when I tab out of I into J?
Can a macro start from wherever cell the active cursor is on? or perhaps from the cell that the macro button is clicked?
What I am trying to do is copy the data from F(whatever) to whatever the last empty cell is in the row holds the active cursor. Or I can create buttons for the macro to run, and it could copy the information in that particular row.
I would love to be able to write a formula that instructs the cursor, after data entered in one cell: say i9, move right in a tab fashion to j9, instead on a downward action to i10.
I am on the row 100 in column G. I had a freeze the first row where i have hypertext and other function. I want add here (in the 1. row) something like hypertext, but i want to stay in the row where i was.
When i am on row 100 in column G and i want to create function which move my cursor to column W but in the same row (row 100 in this case).
Next time i will be in row 154 and i will want to move my cursor again in column W and use this same hypertext/function or what.
I know that the shortcut for moving the cursor to cell A1 of an active sheet within a workbook is Ctrl + Home. However, I thought there was a shortcut (using just keystrokes) to do this for all the sheets within the workbook. Is there such a shortcut?
trying to find the value of column A (date field) if it exists on the row that the cursor is presently on. I'm trying to check for the value before performing the next function to make sure the user is on a valid row. Cursor could be on any column A to F. Columns are always 6 but the rows can vary.
