View 9 RepliesWhenever she clicks on a cell, the cell to the right of it is also selected. When she tries using tab to move to a new cell, she can only move between the two selected cells. Same with using the enter key. As such, it is extremely difficult for her to modify only one cell, since she always has two selected.
The F8 key, as well as Ctrl+F8. However, pressing the F8 key only adds more cells to the autoselection, and Ctrl+F8 allows her to select one cell, but also highlights the cells around it, and when we tried to select other cells, every cell we clicked stayed highlighted.
Additionally, sometimes when she clicks a cell, it will just select that one cell. Click it again, and the problem is back. I haven't been able to determine any patterns to this behavior, and I know there is no problem with the input (the keyboard and mouse are standard-issue in our lab, and we keep them well maintained).
I have a list of links in 1 excel worksheet. They are spaced every other row if it makes a difference. I need to create a macro that clicks on every link automatically. Each link is a direct file that I need downloaded every few months. I have no Macro experience beyond hitting record to automate basic tasks.

I've set up ranges (Batting and Pitching), but have had no luck moving beyond that.
i created this form and i want it to do the following tasks :
-after clicking export the in content of the txtbox to excel cells
-save the excel file
-and prompt another form
(and when entring new content , export it in a new line (i have 30 lines))
i also want to creat a button that opens the first form
(Using Excel 2007)
What would be the quickest and most efficient way of doing the following:
Example
Sheet 1: clicking once, twice, three times in the following cells to change the fill to Red, Yellow, Green respectively (in Row 22, COLUMNS E H K N Q T W Z AD AG) and mirrorring this format/fill on:
Sheet 2: , mirror the selected fill on sheet1 in E22, H22 , K22 in in E3:N3 respectively example E22 (sheet1) is mirrored now in E3 (sheet 2); H22 (sheet 1) is mirrored in F3 (sheet2) etc etc.
I have 35 tabs formatted in the same way - each tab, as with Sheet 1 is linked to a different row on sheet 2 in the same range as is sheet 1 and would need to replicate the mirorring on Sheet 1 to each of the other 34 tabs.
I have several cells in a column for the user to input data, and then a "submit" button. It is a very basic sheet to take user input and store it on another sheet and then manipulate(pivot) and display(graphs) on respective sheets.
Is it possible to remove gridlines and disable all cells on the input sheet except for those that take input, currently validation cells. The main reason is when the user hits tab or lets say enter it moves to the next field for data entry as opposed to through the two empty cells between that are there for spacing. Also to disable them from editing the text that poses the questions(labels): "
How to Disable Paste into Certain Cells (using VBA)
(ctrl + v, right click paste & paste special, menu paste/paste special)
I want every type of paste possible to be disabled for those cells listed below. (the cells cant be locked, its ok for the user to "TYPE" in the cell just not paste.)
T15,V15,AI17,AJ17,AK17,AI18,AJ18,AK18,AI19,AJ19,AK19,AI20,AJ20,AK20,AI21,AJ21,AK21,AI22,AJ22,AK22

I have a worksheet i want to disable
(1) save as function (if someone wants to saveas another name then it will ask for password
(2) lock all cells but unable autofilter (in my document if some one type in textbox given above it filter as typing....
My target to make it copyproof sheet and if someone copies my sheet than it is useless without password although user can only search books...
If E16 is "No", then disable/lock F16 G16 & H16 & maybe turn it grey if that is possible.
I then need to repeat this for all the other rows too.
I have produced an order form and one of the columns is 'availibility' with all cells in this column set to a validation list containing 'Yes,No'.
If the user selects 'no' for a particular item's availibility, i want that row of cells to disable in some way. i.e change colour to grey and become locked.
If the user selects 'yes' the row for that item will remain unlocked and will not change colour.
I am trying to create an advanced spreadsheet in excel that caters for people who really need to be told exactly what to do and what not to do. So based on the selection in column A I want to disable and change the background colour of some cells as follows (but only disable the cells on the same row):
columnA = Number then disable cells D, F, G and change to red
columnA = Link then disable cells E, F, G and change to red
columnA = Image then disable cells D, E and change to red
I have several data validation style drop down menus, and I basically don't want excel to recognize changes in these cells and execute a calculation of the entire workbook. Since there is a large number of calculations being performed in the workbook the sheet gets really slow.
Overall the way excel "automatically calculates" really screws me up a lot. This built in functionality could be a lot smarter in my opinion.
Essentially, I'm creating a spreadsheet which contains a list of staff in rows, and the months of the year as columns. It is to record certain company checks which must be done (e.g. driving licence check). When a check is complete, the date it was done is entered under the corresponding month. Certain checks (e.g. driving license) only need to be done every 6 months. What I'm trying to do is find a formula/vba to look at each row, determine where (which month) the date was entered in, and grey out the 5 months in front, meaning the next check is required in 6 months time.
Ideally, the frequency of this check is dynamic, and can reference a cell (e.g. might change to every 3 months etc).
I want create something (a macro), maybe ending in a button to activate or desactivate the update (relatively) of the charts and relative cells in one of various sheets i use!
If the button is turned off the sheet is quiet!
I am currently trying to keep the print feature disabled in excel untill any of three specific cells are filled out. So that any of the following possibilities would work:
A2 H2 P2
[x] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [x] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [x]
[x] [x] [ ]
[ ] [x] [x]
[x] [x] [x]
This is what I've got so far.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If IsEmpty(Range("A2,H2,P2")) Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
This code works for A2 but I can't get it to work for H2 or P2. i.e. print will be enabled if A2 has content and disabled if all three cells are blank, but if A2 is empty and H2 has content print will remain disabled.
I am using excel 2010. When I click on cells on one column, something like text box will pop up with information related to that column. How can I get rid of this text box. How to disable this text box which I think it has a link between the text box and cells on that column.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of text in a cell and I want to create a Hyperlink using only 2 or 3 words and not the whole text. Unfortunately, it seems as though the hyperlink can only be from the cell itself. Is it possible with Excel to create a Hyperlink from a section of text in a cell, and NOT from the cell itself?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a code so that when optionbutton1 is checked, it allows you to right click to select a cell, then right click on a different cell and select that cell as well as the previous cell, etc. Here's What I have so far.

I would like to run a macro by clicking a cell. I don't want a toolbar button/menu item and Hyperlinks don't work. Can this be done?
More info: My macro selects the current row in Sheet A and moves it (cut & Paste) to Sheet B in the workbook. The macro then goes back to Sheet A and deletes the now blank row.
=IF(OR(J4="",K4=""),"",NETWORKDAYS(J4,K4,Holidays!Z$29:Z$39)-1)
Above is the formula that I have, I am putting it into Column L. When I do auto fill every row that has data in J and K the formula goes into as you would expect.
However the formula does not activate until I double click inside each individual row and hit enter. Therefore if the calculation in L4 was 1.0, then 1.0 will appear as the calculation in every row of Column L until I double click in each row individually and press enter.
When I click on the userform that opens when the workbook does I get this error:
Run-time error '13':
Type Mismatch
This is the code highlighted
DT=UserForm1.TextBox3.Text
i got the userform to popup when the workbook is open and the buttons work fine... only problem is when i click on a button, it will ask the user yes or no... if the user press yes, it performs the required macro without any problem... but when the user press no, not only it will close the question, but also closes the userform... I would like the 'no' to close the question but not the userform...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a chart that I just added some dynamic text boxes to. That is the text is linked to a cell so that the text is automatically updated.
I also have a scroll bar that is used to adjust one of the cells. However, now once I click on the scroll bar it just disappears. I can click on the space where it is located and it will appear for a split second. Also, if I scroll down in the worksheet and then back up over the scroll bar the image will be refreshed and I can see the scroll bar again.
I didn’t have this problem until I added the dynamic text boxes, it worked fine with static text boxes.
Does anyone have any idea how to get around this, or do I have to stick with the static text boxes?
I have this data sheet with 7 personnels name in it. What I require is that upon clicking on the name of the person, the profiles that are attached to this person will open up.
Before any name is clicked, these sheets should not be visible to the user and upon clicking on the other names, the sheets that was previously open will disappear.
For this example.. Think of this information:
shape = rectangle 1
starting fill colour = 255,255,255 (white)
I have a cell on the other part of sheet which has a value of 0 - but changes to 1 when I hover over another part of the sheet.
I need this shape to change fill from white to an image whenever that cell changes value to "1".
I need all this without clicking on an object! JUST when the cell changes, I can mange it with a click but that's besides the point.
i have made (found) a way to change the data in a cell by clicking on it, however i can only make it go from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1...heres the VB
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If (ActiveCell.Value = 1) Then
ActiveCell.Value = ""
Else:
If (ActiveCell.Value = "") Then
ActiveCell.Value = 1
End If
End If
End Sub
however, i would like the code to do a different task, i would like it to add one to the number everytime you click on it...i.e. it goes from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 etc. everytime you click on it...
if it is possible, i would also like it to be restricted to a few cells, which i can determine afterwards and change
I have seen this on many spreadsheet but never figured out how to do this - click on a cell in a spreadsheet to open up a new spreadsheet?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've included the code I'm using to calculate the net weight depending on which option button is selected. I use a flag ("VLAG") to know whether it's the first time the button is pressed. All variables are DIMmed at initialization (different sub).
By using other flags, I can see the code runs perfectly, but the tare weight ("TARRA") is not incremented each time the button is pressed. The formula I'm using to increment is
