How to access the full set of attributes of a control when grouped?
I am trying to access the properties of a grouped set of checkboxes (for grouped I mean selected and right click - > Group)
It appears that grouped controls are not accessible through OLEObjects() but they can be accessed as shapes. For example, the following code will set all elements in the group Advertisement2 to .Visibility = False:
For Each T In ActiveSheet.Shapes("Advertisement2").GroupItems
T.Visible = True
Next
However, most other properties, such as .Enabled or .Value are not accessible (probably because the controls are considered shapes).
I have tried all sort of solutions, including using
.groupItems("ControlName").Value
or
.groupItems("ControlName").Object.Value
I have a worksheet/ book that needs to be shared with staff BUT they must not be able to print the worksheet/book. Allowing them to 'view only' does not prevent them printing the doc.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have managed to pull together some code that will deny people adding data into cells if they have 5 of the same entry. the entries are entered in a range and are matched against a single cell outside of the range. heres the

I am trying to have the exact same type of text (font, color, boldness, italicizing, underlining, etc) in my target as I have in my source on a character by character basis. The procedure below works for color only. Is there a way I can modify this procedure to include all cell attributes for each character in my target? I looked at the Font properties and couldn't find what I needed. Maybe I need to do it in a totally different way?
For Each cell In source
With cell
target.Characters(i, Len(.Value2)).Font.Color = .Font.Color
i = i + Len(.Value2) + Len(delim)
End With
I have a list of user attributes which I would like to merge into a template. I have attached a copy of the template and a copy of the user attributes sheet. The attributes have been downloaded directly from a database so there is one attribute per line. For eg 1 user may have 5 cost centres assigned to him. I would like the 5 costs centres to show up under the template. The problem I have is the template is set up for one line per user with multiple fields for cost centres, therefore I need some way of taking the following output.
User Attribute Value
111 CC CA1023
111 CC CA1204
111 CC CA3333
And merging into the following template
User CC1 CC2 CC3
111 CA1023 CA1204 CA3333
Each user has multiple attributes (Cost centre, internal order, etc) I am only worried about the cost centre field for the time being. Also each user may have 0-10 cost centres assigned
First, to i change the attributes, select the appropriate cell or range and then choose Format, Cells. In the Format Cells dialog box, click the Protection tab and select Locked or Hidden (or both). Unlock cells that accept user input, and lock formula and other cells that should stay unchanged (such as titles). To prevent others from seeing your formulas, lock and hide the formula cells: The results of the formulas will be visible, but the formulas will not.
Now, to protect the worksheet, choose Tools, Protection, Protect Sheet to bring up the Protect Sheet dialog box. but its hideing the formulas. once i protect the cells it wont let me to edit the worsheet (eg- cell height, cell width)
1) What function can I use to replace a specific cell in spreadsheet 2 with what I type in a specific cell in spreadsheet 1 (e.g. type red in spreadsheet 1 in A1 and it will replace a blank cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 with red)? I have around a hundred spreadsheets which I need to name by typing a name in cell A1. Rather than doing this, I already have the names of the spreadsheets in a column.
2) Is there anyway to control the attributes of cells in another spreadsheet? E.g. change to bold, red and specific size font in cell A1 in spreadsheet 2 using cell A1 in spreadsheet 1.
Lets say that you have three cells. The contents of the cells are 1, 2, 3. The contents 1 and 2 have the strikethrough and 3 does not.
How can you perform a lookup from within another cell to find the cell whose content does not have the strike through? (This could also be a search based on finding the cell that does not have the red background etc...)
I'd like to sum up values based on certain cell attributes. Firstly, I don't know if it's possible to define cell attributes and how to do it. Let me put some example:
I have one column where I've put some values and I'd like to sum up the values only for certain cells in this column. In an "OOP approach" I'd use some grouping method based on attributes, so each cell would have an attribute called ID, for example, and I could select only the cell with some desired ID.
I have a list of items in a tab of a workbook that has attributes across the top, with an X in the intersection if the item has that attribute. For example:
Items:
Apple
Table
Paperclip
Attributes:
Red
Wood
Small
The Apple might have an "X" in the intersection of Red and Small, and the Table might only have an "X" in the intsersection with Wood.
I have another tab with five drop downs that can either be blank, or one of the attributes. I want to create a formula that will return the number of items in the list that have an "X" for all the attributes selected in the drop down. Therefore if I selected only "Small" and left the other four blank, the formula might return 2, and if I then select the next drop down and select "Red" the formula would now return 1.
Any thoughts of how I could accomplish this? I am thinking of using a SUMPRODUCT and some sort of Index Match to find the value in the cells selected by the drop down. It seems like Index only returns a row though, and not a column.
I'm helping out a community that puts out a role playing game by making a character sheet for their gaming system. It's normally a pen-and-paper type affair, but a few people have reached out to me and asked me to make it. Now, one thing that I really thought would be nifty would be to make it persistent. I know of the Excel basics, creating basic formulas and the such, but this is where I hit a brick wall.
For the character sheet, they normally have basic attributes on a 1-20 scale. These attributes are accomanied by a bonus. The only thing is those, while these bonuses go across a linear path (For attribute 1, it's -30, for 2 its -20, for 3 its -10, for 4 its -5 for 5 its 0....), I cant seem to figure out how to create some kind of If/Then formula for it....
Heres my example:
Brad makes a character that has a score of 9 for one of his attributes. The bonus given to someone with a 9 is a +10. What I'm looking to do is create a table that sees that 'If (c9)=9, Then (d9)=+10'...
And my second related issue...
Is there any possible way to do the above mentioned formula in relation to a drop down selection bar? It's the same thing here; To break it down simply, It would be excellent if there was a way for it to say If (a10)=Warrior, then (c10)= +10.

I am trying to take items with multiple market attributes and columnized them so that they can be sorted or filtered.
For example,
Item 110 is suitable for Preteen, Teen, Young Adult, Adult and Senior
Item 121 is suitable for Teen and Young Adult
Item 250 is suitable for Senior
Item 300 is suitable for Young Adult, Adult and Senior
I want to be able to arrange the attributes vertically so that the attributes can be filtered. I'm thinking the easiest way to do it is to duplicate each row as many time as there are attributes and copy each attributes to a single Market column.
My company would receive RFQs from potential customers inquiring the availability of different products, and we are trying to summarise these requests to find a trend.
Each product has several attributes, such as descriptions, keywords, manufacturer's code, etc. The RFQs are all different, with each request providing some attributes while missing others. The only reliably uniform attribute is the product number.
I am trying to build a database with the maximum amount of details on each requested product, therefore consolidating the different requests. I already put the source data on the same sheet and sorted the product numbers. I also know how many instances there are for each product number. In other words, my data look like this:
Product number (sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
[Code] .........
Note:
1. The product numbers and repeat count are reliable
2. All the attributes are valid, i.e. as long as one can fill a blank I would take it
3. If none of the instances provide a certain attribute, it is acceptable for it to be left blank
And I am trying to turn it into this:
Product number
(sorted)
Repeat count
Attribute 1
Attribute 2
111a
2
aaaa
bbbb
123456
1

Running into this issue of "transworksheet macros"
I have a master "update" commandbutton on sheet 1. I have two sub "update" buttons on sheet 2 and 3 respectively.
What I would like to do is have the user click the master button, that would "click" the two sub buttons so they run their respective macros on their respective worksheets (within the same worksheet.
I have tried pasting the macro code in the master button, telling it to select the sub worksheet and then run the macro, but the marco runs itself on the master worksheet instead.
what code I can put behind a button so that once I click on that button,
What ever cell i click on, the whole row of that cell will be colored a certain color.
Is this where i would used a target approach?
I need a front worksheet with either buttons or tick boxes that will list different options for a machine
Once a tick or push button is activated a hidden block of text related to that specific tick box needs to be selected and placed onto a final print out sheet (allocation)
when futher boxes have been ticked I would like all the information blocks to build up on the final print out sheet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to compare data on a spreadsheet to data that resides in SQL database. I have never done this before so before I start I wanted to ask a general question, what is the cleanest, simplest, way to go about this. I read that ADO is a good way to access SQL. I understand that ADO is one of the main components of MS universal data access specifications so it sounds like the right approach (and that ADO is replacing DAO).
In terms of application, all I want to do for now is pull data from SQL and write it to a worksheet in the Excel workbook. Other macro's will then operate on this data. Later I will want to write data back to SQL but I want to focus on the "get" part first. Are the statements SELECT; INSERT; UPDATE; DELETE examples of ADO coding?
Conceptually, the SQL team provide nightly tables of data; ADO retrieves some of that data by selecting it; The selected data is written to a worksheet within the workbook. Is this a good approach?
I want to create a log of everyone who opens a particular workbook. I'm using Excel 2003. I found this macro, and created a worksheet called "Log", but I've opened the workbook several times and nothing appears on the Log sheet.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a very unuserfriendly report that looks like this
State - ype - County/City - Invoice # - Ref # - Amount

UT - Taxable Sales - Utah - 073714 - 238025 - $983.75

UT - Tax billed - Utah - 073714 - 238025 - 46.73
For sales tax reporting we need to know the state, city, county district
amounts. This would be simple if we could just sort by county/city, however
we cannot because the state tax piece only only shows the word "UTAH" it does
not give a city or county name. So we must sort by invoice #. This would be
ok if we only had a few invoices in each city such as Salt Lake but we have
have 40 or 50 invoice numbers in salt lake.
I need to find a way to keep all of the tax pieces that belong together, and
subtotal by city/county. I thought if I had a formula that could change the
state name "UTAH" to reflect the city for that invoice. This is the case for
all states. Each state is 10,000 or more lines. I need to somehow grouping
the information I need. I used the pivot table approach. However, since I
must sort by invoice I still have 10,000 lines. I want to sort by invoice to
get all the pieces then sort by county city. Any ideas of how I can do this?
something in Access perhaps? a formual in excel perhaps?
i have an access database and is using excel to get the required data from the access database. I am basing on department to filter out the required data into excel. Below is the VBA code i use
deptClause = Worksheets("Records").range("C1").Value
If Not deptClause = "All" Or deptClause = "" Then
requestClause = " WHERE Department='" & deptClause & "'"
End If
Queryline = "Select * from FailureQuery" & requestClause
the problem is i got one selection "All" in worksheet "Records" in cell "C1" and i cannot get this function to display all the data from the access. however when i choose a particular department it will show fine.
