Macro To Paste Values Instead Of Formula When User Uses Ctrl-C And Ctrl-V (no Command Button)
Jun 10, 2013I was thinking of how the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro can be used to paste values instead of formula when the user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. Instead of assigning a macro to a command button for user to activate.
Suppose I have a worksheet where the range ("D7:D56") is where I would want the user to paste his values in it.
I have to factor in the possibility that these values have formulas attached to them, and that the user is not tech-savvy enough to know about the "paste special --> values" functionality of excel, and chooses to use the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V method instead.
What then appears are ####### which might alarm the user.
Neither would we want the user to press a button (which we can assign the xlpastevalues macro as an alternative) as that adds an extra step for the user. There is also a chance the user might not use the button, or overlooked it.
Is it possible to use the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro, or sth similar, to paste values instead of formula when user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V?

Detecting The Last Column
Mar 15, 2007I've written a macro to copy data from a series of columns on one sheet and past it on another sheet in a specific way. However, what I really want to do, is write the macro so it automatically detects what the last column is, either by defining a range consisting of the last column, or by writing "Last Column" in one of the cells of the column, and having the macro detect it.
Dim i As Variant
For i = 5 To 56
' What I want to do is have the second number be the last column, instead of 56.
Sheets("MASTER").Select
Selection. AutoFilter Field:=i, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd
Range("Basic_Data").Copy
Sheets(" Consolidate").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Range("A1").Select
Sheets("MASTER").Select...........................

Run Macro When Right Arrow Key Pressed
Apr 1, 2009I have Sheet2 containing Supplier data in 2 columns - SupplierTAxCode and SupplierName (unsorted)
Sheet1 contains the Expenses section.
In Sheet1, column E6 to E1000, after inputting each SupplierTAxCode and pressing the RIGHT ARROW key, I would like to automatically get the SupplierName in column F6 to F1000 - from the corresponding data in Sheet2
In the event that the input in any of the cells in E6 to E1000 does not exist in SupplierTAxCode in Sheet2, would it be possible at the same time, to change the background color of the adjacent cell (SupplierName) in column F6 to F1000 at the same time - as a reminder to add those to the Supplier data in Sheet2 at a later date.
I could use Index Match and Conditional Formatting, but am concerned about the file sizes.

VBA Not Detecting Email Address?
Jun 20, 2014It worked well at the time and continues to work well.
The problem I have is that I've copied it for use in a new workbook and for some reason it's not picking up email addresses and storing them in the string "stemails", so that when the email is created there are no addressees. Column BA does have email addresses in it however.

Detecting Non Contiguous Row Selections
Dec 22, 2008I execute custom Insert and Delete macros whenever when the user has selected a single contiguous range of rows to insert or delete.

Detecting What Object Was Clicked
Jul 22, 2006I've been working on a visualizer for large data sets and I'm trying to create a flexible interface. What I am trying to do is populate a sheet with objects(rectangles, triangles, etc.) and linking them all to the same macro. The macro would detect what had clicked it and read the alternative text which would hold the command procedure for that object. I've seen how people detect cursor position but I have not come across anything to detect the object that was clicked. The code I've found (in another post) is as follows:
Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type
Sub CurosrXY_Pixels()
Dim lngStatus As Long
Dim typWhere As POINTAPI
lngStatus = GetCursorPos(typWhere)
MsgBox "x: " & typWhere.x & Chr(13) & "y: " & typWhere.y, vbInformation, "Pixels"
End Sub
This works but I can't figure out how to detect the object it clicked. I was hoping to use
ClickedObject = ActiveWindow.rangefrompoint(typeWhere.x, typeWhere.y)
Command = ClickedObject.AlternativeText
but all I get is errors.
