Two questions: is there a way to not have the formulas in a range of cells, say from B2:AX20, evaluated during normal recalculations? I would like the formulas evaluated only if a form button is pressed.
How do I link the recalculation of the disabled cells to the form button?
The range of cells do not require updating unless certain other cells on a different worksheet are changed which happens rarely. However, other cells in the workbook do change so I would like to keep recalculation set to automatic. I searched the site as well as C. Pearson’s site and some others and have not found a solution. Any help would be appreciated because at present my workbook is extremely slow.
I got a workbook that is linked to many external workbooks and it is very slow to calculate, so I work it with manual calculation and only calculate the sheet (SHIFT+F9) when necessary. To work with this workbook I need to be able to make faster manual calculations. I have tried many solutions and the only one that seems to work, is to work without the links to the other files (by breaking the links and turning the formulas to values). The problem with this solution is that I can't lose the formulas. I think that must be a way to calculate the sheet without calculating the cells that got a reference to the external files. Only the formulas in the current sheet.
I'm working on a financial reporting project that should be in Access but unfortunately it must be in Excel. Some of the formula are complex and I have a UDF to calculate these values. I added the line
Application.Volatile
to each UDF but when I change the current month in a dropdown box, the UDF's do not recalculate. The dropdown box sets a period number on one of the worksheets - this same value is passed to each UDF. I tried using this code in my dropdown box :
Sub DropDown4_Change()
Application.CalculateFull
End Sub but the PC just hangs. I have hundreds (more likely thousands) of formula in the spreadsheet and the recalc is recalcing everything whereas I just want it to recalc the UDF's. I even changed all of the sumproduct formulae to array sum if formulae which sped things up - that is until I forced the full recalc on the drop down change event.
So my question is: is it possible to just recalc the UDF's on 3 worksheets when the user selects a different period in a dropdown box?
And a supplementary question : if {sum(if(...))} formula are faster than sumproduct formula, would a (well written) UDF perform faster than a {sum(if(...))} formula?
My spreadsheet is very large & takes sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to recalculate. The problem is that is was wanting to recalc every time I edited a cell, which I do constantly all day long. Due to this, I have turned off automatic recalculation. Is there is a way I can use VBA to force just one cell or just one row to recalculate? Keep in mind that currently no cells recalculate until I hit F9 or go in & manually hit Calculate Sheet in tools > options > calculation.
I want to create a macro that changes the calculation when opening excel to calculating without updating tables. When I first open excel, the file takes a while to update because it is updating tables, and I want to prevent this. Any ideas? Also, I already have the following code, but this only changes the workbook once its already opened:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.Calculation = xlSemiautomatic End Sub
I have just written a function that sums all the values in the cells in a range that are not green. This works however if one of the non green cells is changed to green the function does not work. i have to re input it into the cell that i put it into.
Function SumNotGreen(SelectedCells As Range) ' Adds the values of the cells where the font colour is not green(35). Dim Cell As Object Dim x As Double x = 0 For Each Cell In SelectedCells If Cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> 35 Then x = x + Cell.Value End If Next Cell SumNotGreen = x End Function
How can i make the function recalculate i.e. go back into the loop every time a change is made.
I have this sheet full of random data and I want to recalculate extra fast so I keep my finger on F9 which causes the random data to randomize really fast of course. Now, in B1:AT1 I have numbers that change with every recalculation but here is the problem. I want the recalculation to stop when excel identifies a zero in that range which doesn't happen often.
I have written a custom function which is called in lots of cells. It had an error so I modified it. But the modification did not automatically trigger recalculation in the cells where it is used. Neither did F9 (manual recalculation). The only thing that did is hitting F2 for the cell then ENTER. But what a pain to do that for every cell it's used.
I have a workbook with a button to get updated data. The button simply opens the other workbook and then closes it. THe problem is it opens the book and then closes it before the opened book has a chance to finish it calculation resulting in lots of #value errors. The book that is being opened works fine but because it is shared it can't be left open and needs to be closed asap, though it should be allowed to finsih calcs before it gets closed again. If anyone know a way to make the following temporarily halt until the opened book finishes calculating before it closes it.
I have just set up a conditional format to change the colour of my cells in column F based on a yes or no value in column E. I have a colour function formula working to sum the totals of the cells coloured the 2 different colours seperately. Since applying the conditional format. the formula for colourfunction will only total 0. Is there a way i can apply the colourfunction formula to cells coloured by using conditional formatting
I'm trying to make a schedule of deposits made for the month of March 2008. (Deposits are made on a daily basis.) With this, I wanted to know when the deposit would clear with the bank using the WORKDAY formula given that I have to count 6 banking days after the date of deposit (Saturdays and Sundays excluded).
I'm using Mac and I recently upgraded to Office 2008 (never tried WORKDAY formula in other versions). I am aware of the syntax used for this formula and it works just fine in other cases. But I noticed that with start_dates falling on a Thursday or Friday of the week, Excel would give me a result date that falls on a Sunday, which is odd given that it's supposed to ignore non-working days or weekends. (I haven't even gotten to inputting holidays yet.)
I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.
I'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?
I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.
'To delete delivery address lines if 1st line empty If IsEmpty(Range("deliver_line1")) _ Then Sheets(1).Range("deliver_rows").EntireRow.Delete 'No End If required as only one action as a result of the If
A spreadsheet based on my template has been sent to me because the macro won't run properly. When I try to run the macro I get a Runtime Error '1004' Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed on the following line. Columns("A:E") = Columns("A:E").Value.
I have a spreadhseet with various functions on it and what I am trying to do is this.
Cell E4 returns a >35 or <35 true or false value Cell G4 is either blank or has "Yes" text type into it.
What I am trying to do is get cell F4 to return certain arguments.
E4 = >35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Email Hiring Manager" E4 = ,35 and G4 is blank I want it to state "Wait"
I have a basic IF formula that returns this =IF(E4>35,"Email Hiring Manager","Wait")
Then if cell G4 is populated with a Yes the formula needs to overwirte the origonal if with the return arguments of =IF(G4="Yes","Email Agency","Email Hiring Manager")
If yes then what would be Email Hiring Manager (yes will only be input if E4 is greater than 35) will be overwritten with "Email Agency"
Can this be done with two If formulas or does there need to be 3 or more to count if other IF formulas are actually returning a value?
If you have a cell with the value ="2*c2+3" NB: (Notice the ""), then to make excel convert the formula in another cell to =2*c2+3 (notice the removal of ""), so that it can calculate the value of the cell instead of showing a textstring?
I have formulas in a column and they are working unless I edit them to include another function, more cells, whatever, then they display as formulas instead of the result. I've gone to Tools --> Options --> View and the Formulas box is not checked. As well automatic calculation is on not manual.
Is there a way to disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' with the macro? I have tried disabling 'Save as' with the below VBA code but it does not disable 'Save as PDF or XPS'.
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI Then MsgBox "Save As is disabled", vbInformation Cancel = True End If End Sub
Also I have a macro which saves the excel report in a PDF format with 'Save as PDF or XPS' utility. I would like to enable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro is started and again disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro stops.
Excel 2003 - VBA - How do you detect when a row has been deleted in VBA? Better yet, how do you detect when a row is about to be deleted? I also would like to know the row number. I do not see an event handler that will inform me of the "Delete" event.
I need to disable cut and drag only in a workbook. The idea is to avoid formula reference errors when unlocked cells are cut and pasted or dragged. I can find many macros online but none that do only these two things.
I am looking for a way that I can ensure that Zero Values are never shown, either when you open a new workbook or open a new window. Preferable, one which I can install for any user who needs this. (such as via Book.XLA I think) but AutoExec is fine as long as it is alwys loaded.
I've got an excel sheet from a guy at work who decided to lock the entire document down so I can't do anything with it. Virtually all the ribbon options are greyed out, there isn't anything locking it in the code, I've tried checking the save as "read-only" option and it's not there. How I can actually save this is editable? I've looked in windows explorer and it's not read-only in there either. I tried save-as and even tried making it an XLS instead of an XLSM and it still won't let me edit it
