Detect/Prevent Text
Jun 6, 2007In column A i have a range of dates
In column B i have a range of descriptions
In column C i have formula which calculates an interest figure based on the date entered in column A and a date entered in a cell elsewhere. It also makes the cell display a couple of different strings of text if conditions are not met e.g. It displays "too early" if the date entered is more than 4 years before the date entered in the cell elsewhere
The problem that im having is this:
When i try to calculate column C i want it to throw an error if there is anything but a numeric value in the column. But it is obviously considering the cells in column C with for e.g. "too early" as a "0". I have tried all sorts of formula to do this to no avail, IFTEXT, IFNUMBER, ISTEXT, ISNONTEXT etc etc.
Detect Duplicates In User Form Text Boxes
Jun 13, 2009I have a user form with 4 text boxes and a command button. I have no problem looping through the textboxes to retrieve the value, but what is the best way to detect if any duplicates exist between the four text boxes? For example, in the command button's
If textbox one's value is "test" and textbox four's value is also "test", it should throw an exception. If a question like this has already been answered, a link to that post would surely suffice.
Detect Blank Cell Value
Apr 12, 2007I 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.
Detect Cell Address Of Cell Directly Under Mouse Pointer
Oct 25, 2009I'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.
Macro To Detect Cell Range

View 12 Replies View RelatedMacro To Detect Cell Colors
Sep 8, 2009We 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) -
Detect If Cell Is In 'editing' Mode
Mar 13, 2007I'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?
Detect If Cell Contains A Formula Or Constant
Dec 4, 2007I 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.

Oct 22, 2009I'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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDetect Cell Conditional Formatting State Of Specific Condition
Nov 26, 2009Is 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.

Automatic Update Of Cell Text Based On Item Number (also Text)?
Mar 28, 2014I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

Find Last Number In Row / Add 1 To Current Cell (if Another Cell In That Column Has Text)
May 23, 2014file storage
1. Look at the "Days so far" section
2. Ignore cell C1
3. All the other cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
4. Look at the "Volunteer" row - all the cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
5. Wherever a name - any name - appears in the "Volunteer" row, 1 is added to the previous number in the "Days so far" section and the result is displayed in cell from the "Days so far" row above that Volunteer's name.
6. For example, we begin in C1 with a count of 12 days so far - this was manually entered
7. In cell H5, we see Henry has volunteered 1 day. The total no. of days so far should now be 12+1. Therefore, the number in H1 should be 13.
8. In cell G47, we see Joseph has volunteered 1 day. The total number of days volunteered BEFORE Joseph volunteered is 15 (see cell D43). But now, with Joseph volunteering 1 day, the total no. of days so far should now be 15+1. Therefore, the number in G43 should be 16.
9. what formula l must put in the "Days so far" row (excluding cell C1, which is manually input) to give me the "should be" results predicted in that row? I'm guessing it will be a formula which looks at each row fragment of the "Days so far" row, row by row, right up to the previous cell in that row, all within one formula.
P.S. I just want to leave the "Days so far" row blank, for any columns where there are no volunteers in the "Volunteer" row, so please don't give a formula which inserts zero for days with no volunteer, and then sums the cumulative total.
Text In Cell Then Formula To Put Particular Number In Adjacent Cell
Feb 16, 2014I have text in column A of either "xxx" or "yyy"
I'm looking for a formula so that If
A1: "xxx" then B1: $100
Or if
A1: "yyy" then B1: $150
So when I write "xxx" or "yyy" in a cell of Col A
then $100 or $150 shows up in adjacent cell in Col B automatically.
I will need to sum the numbers later so Col B will need to be in number/accounting format.
Text Entered Into One Cell Equals Number In Different Cell
Jun 24, 2013So I am having trouble figuring out how to do multiple text to equal multiple numbers. For instance right now I use =IF(E9="JOHN DOE","07", but I would like to have it where IF E9 = John Doe the cell shows 07, but IF the E9 = Sam Doe I want the cell to show 08, and the same IF E9 = Pat Doe the cell shows 09 and so on.
Meaning is there a way to have multiple functions go to a cell dependent on what is entered into E9 for example. I just want to have a number come out in one cell if a certain name is entered in a different cell. I loooked at this post [URL]....which got me started,

View 9 Replies View RelatedDetect Numbers In A Cell Range And Then Change Cells Based On What Numbers Are Found?
Feb 27, 2014I'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.

Writing Number As Text To A Cell
Jun 16, 2013Process is that I read in lines from a text file and then based on a filter I then write some those values to a sheet. One of the values I transfer is always 5 characters with a trailing space. The first four may be all numbers (e.g. "0013 ") or a mix (e.g. "013G "). When I write these to the spreadsheet the ones without letters always end up as a number (e.g. "0013 " become 13). How do I force the cell to show all values as text in the cell just like I read it in. In fact, I'd prefer stripping out the trailing space but it's not critical. That I can do (TRIM).

Within some of the descriptions is a reference number which I need to extract (sadly this number isn't kept in its own field) - is there any way to determine whether a cell has numbers in it, and if so is there a way to pull them out into a seperate column?

=IF(C6="PRODUCT 1","$"&VLOOKUP(B6,N:T,3,FALSE)&" & "&"$"&VLOOKUP(B6,N:T,5,FALSE),"N/A”)
which aberrantly returns text:
$24.675 & $26.2
I was wandering is there a way to format or put a formula which will format the numbers to be with two decimal places. The cell containing the formula is already formatted as number and the source tables are numbers with two decimal places.
i want the result to look like this
$24.68 & $26.20

View 9 Replies View RelatedCustom Formatting Of Text & Number Cell
Mar 4, 2007I have a cell that contains numbers and text.
example: 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 1-22-3-44-5-6.
If the the number between the dash '-' is a single digit (less than 9), I want to insert a leading zero so all 6 numbers are 2 digits.
Is this possible with custom formatting? I tried a custom for of:
00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00
and it is not working.
I also tried using a MID formula but it gets quite complex identifying the location of the dash - is there an easier way than the MID or LEN?
