Detect If Cell Contains A Formula Or Constant
Dec 4, 2007
I need an equation that lets me determine whether a cell contains a static constant value (either a string or a number), or an equation that generates a value.
Problem: I have a cell that contains a default equation that generates a default value, depending on a few conditions. The user can overwrite this cell with a constant. In another cell I need to know whether that cell is still the default equation or a new constant value.
I cannot simply test the value of the contents to see if they match my default, because the user may choose to enter that value.

I am creating on the fly an array (2 columns) in which the one row cell is mathematically derived from its neighbor (A left-hand cell). However, when the mathematically derived product exceeds a value, the row neighbor changes to another constant until its neighbor's product exceeds another value, etc. Can I create such an array without resorting to VBA?

In cell A1 exists data. In cell A2, I would like to test A1 to determine if A1 is a formula or a constant.
Examples:
=A9+3 would result "formula"
="1+3 would result "formula"
3 would result "constant"
'Blahblah would result "constant".

I have a template with formulas calculating a default value, but still allowing the user to override the cells with direct input.
I want to use conditional formatting to highlight any cells that have been overwritten, but can't find a way for Excel to differentiate between a cell with a formula or an inputted constant.
I realize there is a VBA "isFormula" function, but I don't want to have to use VBA for this.

I have a userForm (Form1) that contains a persons name that I would like to reference in a separate UserForm (Form2). In the separate UserForm (Form2) I need to reference this persons name many times, so I was wondering if there was a was to declare this name in the separate UserForm (Form2) as a constant. Only thing is that a constant, to the best of my knowledge, must be an expression and not a variable. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid declaring the myName variable in each Sub within Form2, which it will be needed for a ton of Sub's.
Code for Form2: Const myName As String = Form1.txtName.Value

If I have a formula that I want to copy throughout a column, but I want to keep one of the parts of the formula constant, is there a short way to do this?
For example:
First cell is A1*O24
Second Cell is A2*O24
Third Cell is A3*O24
Right now when I try to copy the formulas, the second cell always reverts to A2*O25, which is not correct.

I try to adjust chart range using variable value instead of constant value.
My current code :
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 4").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Check_2G'!$Z$2:$Z$32"
I need to make range ( "='Check_2G'!$Z$2:$Z$32" ) adjestable with varible like m instead of 32 in previous code.

I am creating a data tracking workbook. Information is entered into cells on
different sheets, then the tallies are pulled to one easier to read sheet.
In creating the tally sheet, I am setting the cell formulas. The cells
referred to are constant, only the sheet referred to changes. For example,
the cell might read
='FP 1'!$I$25
and the next one should read
='FP 2'!$I$25
....and so on. I would like to be able to paste the formula and have the
referred to sheet change so that I do not have to go through and make
hundreds of little changes.

I have the following array function that I am trying to get to work properly:
ActiveCell.FormulaArray = "=SUM(IF(NCR!O2:O100=39326,NCR!Q2:Q100,0))"
39326 is the value of 9/1/2007, and this formula works properly.
I am looking for a way to use this formula but replace 39326 with whatever date is in the first row of the same column as the active cell when it is run.
That is, if the macro was run with cell B8 as the active cell, "39326" would be replaced with whatever value was in cell B1.

I have used the following long but simple formula.
=SUM((B17*B14)+(C17*C14)+(D17*D14)+(E17*E14)+(F17*F14)+(G17*G14)+(H17*H14)+(I17*I14)+(J17*J14)+(K17* K14)+(L17*L14)+(M17*M14)+(N17*N14)+(O17*O14))
I need to copy it to numerous other cells. However I need the row fourteen values to remain the same while the other values change according to which row I'm copying it to e.g
=SUM((B20*B14)+(C20*C14)+(D20*D14)+(E20*E14)+(F20*F14)+(G20*G14)+(H20*H14)+(I20*I14)+(J20*J14)+(K20* K14)+(L20*L14)+(M20*M14)+(N20*N14)+(O20*O14))
Is there any way of doing this without changing the formula manually every time?

I am trying to detect if a user leaves a cell empty. I have tried If statements like:
If Target.Value = "" Then
and
If (IsNull(Target.Value) Then
The problem is when the user uses the spacebar to delete an entry in that cell. If they leave any spaces after exiting the cell those if statements fail to run.

I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly.
The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer.
My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.

We have a workbook with over 20 worksheets, each sheet with one or more tables in it. Several people use the workbook and we have decided that when someone changes a cell, they should mark the changed cell by filling it with blue using Format Cell. We have then nominated one person at end of each week who will check all the changes made during the week and either approve or reject them. So her task is to find all the blue cells, check them and then take the shading off.
What I would like to do is to create a macro to help her. I would like the macro to automatically identify all the blue cells in the workbook and give her a list of these cells. I wonder if someone could give me direction on a couple of things:
1) The command in the macro that would return whether a cell is shaded blue
2) The way in which I could cycle through all the content of each worksheet. I'm thinking worse case I would have to write instructions to go to each sheet, and then do an outer loop to go through each row, and an inner loop for each column (and the number of active cells varies by worksheet) -

I'm doing the vba programming for excel where I added a button to the excel, and when user click on the button, it will trigger my function.
My question is: if currently there is a cell been focused, how can I know whether that is in the 'editing mode' (ie, focus on that cell and double click on that) or merely 'focus' on that cell? Any of the excel object property for this?

Say I have the number 325 in A1. Each time I type a number in A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, A3, B3, etc... I would like the number (325) in A1 to be reduced.
Also, how do I create a pull down list?

I need to convert a cell that has a list of values A1 = 1,2,3. To a range expression {1;2;3}. I want to do this with a formula and not VBA. Example: Cell D1 has the formula = SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(C30:C31,A30:A32),B30:B32). I want to put the list range from column C into one cell.

the way my spreadsheet's set up so far is that each employee should have a goal of, say, 100 for how many people they need to sign up. But they each have specific geographic breakdowns in their turf, some of which might be bigger or smaller than others, but at the end should all add up to 100 for each employee.
It's not super hard to do since I just take a goal of 100, in this example, and multiply it by the percent of population of the area in their overall assignment and give them a goal for that area based on that. So if Philadelphia has 70% of their total population, Upper Darby has 20% of their total population, and Phoenixville has 10% of their total population -- the goals would come out like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 70
Upper Darby, Goal: 20
Phoenixville, Goal: 10
Ryan, Total Goal: 100
For some of the employees, that works out perfectly -- but based on the population sizes, the rounding sometimes gets a little off and it could end up like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 71
Upper Darby, Goal: 19
Phoenixville, Goal: 11
Ryan, Total Goal: 101
For most employees, it ends up being dead-on 100 -- but there are some whose totals are at 98 or 99 or 101, and I was wondering if there was a way to force it to shave a point off or add a point on somewhere, pending on how close the decimal was when it rounded to make sure that it always ends up exactly on 100. (I'm using 'Data >> Subtotals' to get what's being represented above as "Ryan, Total Goal.")

I'm trying to set named range as a constant in VBA, to allow me to recall the same range as an output target in different subs, without having to 'set' it in each module. I have tried to declare it at the top of a module like this...
Public Const tpnb_range = Worksheets(" SQL").Range("tpnbs")
and get a "Compile Error : Constant expression required"

I'm working on a timetable for my boss and i'm trying figure out how to have vba detect when a specific set of cells gets an x typed into it and calculate 1 cell = 36.50 hours and input into the appropriate Sum column. The Sum Total is Column AR and i've put x's into some of the cells that will be containing them, i'm sure if i just get the basic code needed i will be able to implement it.

Is it possible to check the conditional state for a specific condition for a specific cell.
For example a cell has 1 or more conditions.
A condition will toggle to a condition if true or false etc.
The specifics is i use red (color 255) if a cell has not met a specific condition (of 1 or more conditions)
So if the cell is mandatory to be populated, and is blank, it will be red, if not it will be something else.
But i want to loop all visible cells with conditional formatting, and where the cell has a condition when true will show interior color = to 255 return the cell address.
To msg the user where data entry is still required etc.

I am trying to do the following with VBA.
What i need is to find out the last cell with data and then selecting the whole range and copying it.
Please see the below.
As you can see, the column with the "longest" data range is B9,C9,D9,E9.
I need a VBA code to detect which Column has the longest Data and from there copy the entire range.
Hence, in this case, the range to be copied is From A2:J9.
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
Column E
Column F
Column G
Column H
Column I
Column J
1
2
ttt
rrr
m
vvv
gg
ff
fff
fff
fff
[Code] ..........
Hence,in this case, the range to be copied is From A2 to J14.
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
Column E
Column F
Column G
Column H
Column I
Column J
1

I have cell C5 value set as 5*B5+3. Now, using vba,I would like to adjust the value of B5 (basically find it), so that the value of C5 is let's say 8.
In this easy example, one can find rapidly the correct value of B5 to be 1.
What I've tried is the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("B5").Value = -5
Do
Range("B5").Value = Range("B5").Value + 1
Loop Until Range("C5").Value = 8
End Sub
So, I am setting the initial guess for cell B5 and then increasing it by 1. However, if I set the increment to 0.5 instead of 1, program goes crazy and loop doesn't close.
What changes should I introduce to this code, so that even if the increment is 0.001 everything will work.

I'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.

I need to send a file to hundreds of users so that I can tell who has a particular add-in installed. This file will then be saved to a particular directory. The problem I'm having is controlling the error that occurs when the add-in is NOT installed. The below approach (using On Error Goto) clearly isn't the way to go. I need something like
If(Iserror(AddIns("AmartaSpecs") Then Cells(2,3)="No"
The code I have so far is:
Sub Amarta_Specs()
Dim a
'ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Delete
Cells(1, 1) = "Username"
Cells(1, 2) = "Computer Name"
Cells(1, 3) = "Add-in installed?"
Cells(2, 1) = Environ("Username")
Cells(2, 2) = Environ("Computername")
On Error GoTo Error
Set a = AddIns("AmartaSpecs")
Cells(2, 3) = "Yes"
Error:
Cells(2, 3) = "No"
ChDir "E:FinanceSQL Add-in test"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="E:FinanceSQL Add-in test" & Environ("Username") & ".xls"
End Sub
