How do you convert all the picture files in a worksheet so they can be processed the same? Half my pictures have eight white adjustment circles framing them when they are selected, the other half have four blue circles and four blue squares.
View 2 RepliesI am putting together a price list in excel and using images and hyperlinks to jazz it up a bit - what I am finding is that if I insert a 25KB GIF image, the excel file grows in size by over 100KB
why is this disproportionate growth happening and is there a way around it - I dont want my Price List growing too large but need the images....?
I found this code on the web that I wanted to use to fit a picture into a cell. However, it sizes the picture proportionaly, and not to the cell size. How to get it to fit to the cell size.
(Also, how I can properly post code in a message. I read the user guide to the forum and it mentioned BB Tags, but I couldn't see what I need to do).
Public Sub FitPic()
On Error GoTo NOT_SHAPE
Dim PicWtoHRatio As Single
Dim CellWtoHRatio As Single
With Selection
PicWtoHRatio = .Width / .Height
[Code] ............
open the attachment & click the button. I'd like you to please help me in reducing both the height & width of the picture. So that when the button is clicked the pic. overall size will appear smaller.

Rather Than Inserting A Picture Can I Do A Macro That When It Is Run It Opens Up A Browser, Similar To The One In Insert Picture And Then Insert A Picture After The Bottom Cell And Resize It So It Will Be The Same Every Time? But At The Bottom Of The Last Line Of Data.
What I am trying to do is to give the user the ability to insert a photo and have it autosize into a range of cells--so far I can only get it to work with a single cell and a predefined file. Can this be refined so that rng references a group of cells and pic somehow lets the user input a file name or pick its name and location?
Sub test()
On Error Resume Next
Set pic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:

On Error Goto 0
If Not pic Is Nothing Then 'Found it!'
Set rng = ActiveCell

.Height = rng.Height
.Width = rng.Width
.Left = rng.Left
.Top = rng.Top

I have been having problems lately with excel files on Network drives. I have one file that I created on 11/12/2012. However, on Friday that file showed it had been modified by myself on 11/13/2012. I did not do this. As a note, this file contains macros based on a button that is clicked from a worksheet.
I then copied data from this worksheet into another file, creating a link that I did not know was there with the worksheet and the macro. From the first workbook, I also copied in data collection from two other worksheets, also I believe with a link to the first workbook.
I did a test on the first file this morning and found out you can open a file, make no changes, and close the file. Excel will ask you to save the file. If you say Yes, the file will show being modified with today's date and your userid, even though nothing really changed.
What I am actually trying to find out is that can the original file be altered somehow that will automatically update the linked file? Or, when I open the linked file, do I have to say "YES", I want the updates before the linked file is updated?
There were some questions as to how a value showed up in the link file (or actually ended up being removed) and when I looked at the original file it was also removed. We checked on stability across the network drive but found it to be okay, now we are looking at the link issue.
I would like to develop a user-friendly Excel 2010 spreadsheet that would allow the user to enter from 1 to 10 (i just picked this number at random just to have an upper limit) employee numbers in cells A1-A10 and "click" on the VBA Code button that would invoke an Access Query and in the process return all the applicable data gathered from the query back into the Excel Spreadsheet. Believe it or not, I can do all this mentioned so far. BUT what i cant do is my second option for the user which is allow them to pull ALL of the employees back into the spreadsheet using the same query.
In summary, using Excel as a frontend dashboard, I know how to get a specific number of employees' information from a query and I know how to get all employees' information from a query but I dont know how to get either/or. In other words, I could do this with two queries and two "VBA-Code" buttons but I would like to do it with one query and one button.
In Excel 2010, is there any way to paste a picture into a small picture/diagram box, and upon double clicking the picture it would explode to a larger size? And I guess double clicking it again would make it return to its original (smaller) size. I would be pasting several pictures into several different picture/diagram boxes and would need this to be a relative reference so that upon selection it explodes the appropriate picture?

I have a dataset that has a good number of duplicates, many of which have more than 2 records.
In these sets of duplicates, there are two fields that have many combinations of values.
I would like to find a way to COUNT THE COMBINATIONS in all of the sets of duplicates, as in, every time there is a type of a certain combination of values, create a count for it:
12345 9 9
12345 9 0
123456 9 9
123456 9 0
(Total: 2) For 9/9 and 9/0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
(Total: 2) For 0/0 3x
I have attached a listing of types of combinations that I found by scanning the database, but I don't know what formula or functions would do the trick. I don't think there is something in Subtotal or the Count functionality that would apply but I will fumble around.

I want to sum the values of two userform text boxes however I assume they are stored as strings so I get 1 + 2 = 12 - how do you convert strings to integers in VBA? It seems as though it's different to VB where you'd just use convert.toInt16() etc
I have portion of a macro that works when I specify a range like this:

But when I executed the macro, it froze on this lines saying "Method of 'Cells' Global Failure. I need a way around this but I have no idea how at this point.
I want to have an array where each record contains a name and three numbers.

View 3 Replies View Relatedinterpolating numbers in excel for an exponential function. I want to know how to be able to curve a curve in 4 different ways essentially the 2 that make up the two halves of a peak and the 2 that make up the two halves of a trough. I've tried using the LINEST function to create this interpolation and it's good to get 1 of the 4 curves I'm interested in. how to do the other 3? I'm also interested in knowing if these functions "whip the tail up" as in almost like how the tail end of a "sin" function flips back up. here it is.
[URL]
For this example of the exponential function, it creates the curve in one particular direction. I was wondering how I would do it to have it curve in another direction, for example I was testing the same function, but going downwards, and also having the tail curve back up (by hump I mean to simulate a gaussian distribution with the tails) how would I do that. seems like I now have part 1 of 4 aspects of the curve. here's the attached file to show what I mean. I want to get the hump going up and then sort of reflected along the y-axis and then similar features if I were to reflect the curves on the x axis. is it possible with the functions in excel?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy question is about creating User-Defined Data Types. Is there ANY way possible i can create a User-Defined Data Type that declares a variable of another User-Defined Data Type instead of the Pre-Defined User Types like String, Integer, etc?
The following explains my problem in more detail.
I know to create a User-Defined Data Type at the top of the module before any procedures. Like this:
My question is about creating a hierarchy of Data Types.
I need to code 3 Data Types:
1.) MealPlan
2.) Meal
3.) MealItem
MealPlan represents a daily meal plan. It should have a certain number of meals. An example of MealPlan would be "Healthy" and have a total of 3 meals. Meal represents a single meal. It should have a certain number of meal items. An example of Meal would be "Meal 1" and have a total of 3 meal items. MealItem represents a single meal item. It should have a certain number of protein calories, fat calories, carb calories. An example of MealItem would be "Broccoli" and have protein calories of .2, carb calories of .8, fat calories of .1.
By using Data Types, I hope to create meal plans, which are made up of meals, which are made of meal items. The following code creates a Data Type hierarchy for two Data Types. I've examined it closely but i'm still having a hard time recreating it for my needs as stated above.
I have three items I would like to graph, on one chart. The first is %Complete. This is a number figure. The next is the date the item is due to ship. Obv, this is a Date. The third is today's date. Basically, I would like to display in the same chart so that we can see how far a long a project is, in relation with today's date and how much longer we have until it needs to ship.
This is the current display of the chart:
Is there a way to show the ship date, as the 100% complete mark? In order to make it display half-way decent, I had to format the left y-axis to go above 100%. I first tried to format the right y-axis, but was extremely confused to setting values. I figured out that the end date is somewhere in the 40,000 value mark? WTF is this about? Is 1 equal to 24 hours? I assumed that was the case, but then when I pick the value it should end with, it doesn't seem to react that way. I want the right axis to start with 12/01/2011 and end with 5/01/2012. How can I achieve this?
I have a csv file. When I open it by double clicking, all the finance figures appear as currency with the currency symbol. I can use the SUM function on these and it's perfect.
However, when I open this file using a macro, these same numbers look the same, except that they are now left justified and are text because the SUM function no longer works. If I select a range, I get the count of the number of items selected showing at the bottom of the screen but not the sum.
I have tried opening the file using the OpenText function which has several ways of setting a date format to the fields but nothing for numbers.
I have even tried, in the macro, selecting a cell with numeric 1 and then selecting the range and pasting the 1 as a multiply function but this doesn't work either.

In one excel book I have 2 sheets.
1. One sheet (request type wise) contains request type and the phase which it belongs to. eg request type A belongs to phase 1 and request type B belongs to phase 2. (like wise there are 212 request types divided into 8 phases)
2. The second sheet contains raw data (request type) where the request types are randomly arranged.
What I am trying to do is:
Compare the raw data of sheet 2 with standard data in sheet 1 and paste the phase to which it belongs to with a help of macro/code, since the standard data (212 request types with 8 phases) is huge.
