View 2 RepliesI am making some conditional formats for a document. One that I am trying to achieve is have a group of cells have a background color, but once the data has been added, the color go away.
This is what my conditional format looks like: =ISBLANK($A$1:$H$22) and chose the Green fill background. So, my understanding is, the cells should have a green background if they are blank, but go back to a standard format, once cells have data put in them.
I have a shared file in excel and it is used by up to ten users, lately sheets keep disappearing and (of coarse) no one knows anything about it. Does anyone know how this is happening? Or what security protocol I can use to keep it from happening?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI been trying to make a VBA code that will move a row to different sheet if it has a certain value. I found one code i think may work for doing, but everytime i put in the account numbers, excel shorten the number. I feel this maybe the reason i can't get it working.
Here is the code i feel it should be :
[Code]....
but excel keeps shorting it to :
[Code] .....
I'd like to have a cell contain instructions that disappear when text is entered into the cell, much like the "help" box on the upper right of the Excel window has a label that says "Please type question here", which disappears when you actually type in a question.

When I open the workbook without Excel running, the code fails to install the addin. When I then use Tools > Addins, the panel of addins is completely blank.
I can only restore the addins list by closing Excel and reopening it.
I am compiling questionnaires in Excel and need to constrain the answers. I've successfully used validate, list and directed it to a list (containing, for example, 'USB', 'Firewire', 'SCSI'. When I first set this up, the drop down menu appeared (and the prompt message I had created). After I copied the first worksheet to use as the base for my next questionnaire, the drop down menu disappeared, although the prompt still shows and the validation still works.
Have I missed something fundamental?
I've tried creating one on a brand new workbook and copying the worksheet and it seems to function correctly. Why has my drop down menu vanished???
I have a very large spreadsheet that I work with on a daily basis. The main portion of the spreadsheet is broken down into weekly sections (for example, columns GF thru GM contain data sections for one week, which then repeats with the next set of columns, etc.). Below these weekly sections are detail and summary sections for all the data entered above. In the main weekly portion, each week contains a size drop-down list which calls to size information in the detail portion below. Recently, the data validation lists have started disappearing. By disappearing, I mean that the data validation for the cell no longer exists on a large portion of the list cells. I have tried recreating all of the data validations, saving the file, and re-opening it, and when I do, they've disappeared again. I have no idea what to do at this point. The functionality of the spreadsheet is crippled without the sizing drop-down lists (for various lookup reasons).
View 14 Replies View RelatedHave a spreadsheet wherein I have added some custom controls to the right-click function of the mouse. The buttons and their associated code runs great for all but one user in my office. For that user, the custom buttons do not even appear on his right-click menu. I have looked through his settings to make sure that his security settings are the same as everyone else that uses the spreadsheet, and they are. All of the other modules in the spreadsheet work fine.
Is there some other setting that would control the display of his right-click buttons. Perhaps a windows security setting that I am missing?
The following is a snippet of the code that adds one of the right-click buttons for example. This code is stored in the 'Workbook_SheetBeforeRightClick' event.
With Application. CommandBars(" cell").Controls _
.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1, temporary:=True)
.Caption = "Create Panel Hyperlink"
.OnAction = "CreateHyperlink"
.Tag = "brccm"
.FaceId = 2169
End With
All of a sudden, the data vaildation dropdown boxes on a specific worksheet have disappeared. The list reference is still correct and the data validation dropdowns work just fine on other sheets in the same workbook. (BTW-I'm using Excel 2003 and the panes are not frozen).
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy form controls (cmd buttons) and images don't appear or don't work. I was working on a macro to cut and paste a set of cells (protected sheet, I did unprotect it), and I noticed the cmd button tied to this disappeared. It then re-appeared but I couldn't engage it. This is part of a larger workbook that consists of a single page of cmd buttons that release specific worksheets (no activex). These buttons disappeared and re-appeared and don't work either. When I select the button I can see the cell underneath light up. It's like the image is there but nothing else?
The macros run fine from VBA editor. I was thinking the issue had something to do protections? There are more than 5 passwords (set on a worksheet) being used here, there is a fair amount of protecting and unprotecting going on, and I loop through the worksheets several times. Everything was working fine and now I'm stuck. I was getting a the-object-invoked-has-disconnected-from-its-client error related to an "insert cells" command on a co-workers computer, but not on my machine. This is actually what I was trying to solve when it crapped out. I would delete the buttons and create them all again, but I can't even select them to delete them.
I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet where the default number format keeps switching to the date format. I keep switching it back and it'll stay as a number format for a time, but then it'll switch back. This is also the case for any new worksheets in that one spreadsheet.
This only happens with this one file - everything else behaves according to my regional settings or to how the file had been previously formatted.
I scoured the site looking to see if anyone had a similar problem of a data validation list suddenly not working. By not working I mean that it was impossible to get ANY validation list working on a given sheet at all once the problem manifested itself. Luckily I anally backed up my sheets as I went and was able to get back to a version that worked. I was able to trace the problem back to a minor logic error in a vb script that accidentally deleted an object me.shapes(4) that turned out to be the data validation object (ie "Drop Down 223").
With that said, I purposefully want to delete me.shapes(4) becuase it supposed to be a picture that I replace based upon a choice from the drop list. What I've discovered is that sometimes the picture is me.shape(4), and sometimes it's shape(3) and the Drop down is Shape(4) (strange eh ?). I guess I can live with it, but I can't seem to figure out the following line as to why it won't work.
IIF(instr(1,me.Shapes(3).Name,"Picture",vbTextCompare)=1,Me.Shapes(3).Delete,Me.Shapes(4).Delete)..............
Is there any macro that can be used to convert data which have been converted from PDF to Excel. Currently I'm using a traditional way by pressing F2 and enter to convert the data to excel format. It's tedious ( since the data range is quite big) and crammed my finger.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a very large spreadsheet which holds a lot of data, and has a custom reports system built into it, (i.e. running on a load of macro's)... The reports gather their info from a range of hidden cells which run different formula's to provide such results as 1 or 0 so that it collates into another sheet...
however, I have found recently that when I need to update any of the formula's and whatnot, the formula does the calculation and then disappears... whereas I need the formula to be there constantly so that the report is providing the correct information!
one such formula is:
=IF(AND(AC11"No Calc",AC11>=1,AC11

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a template that works from Excel, but is saved in a .csv by default because .csv is the only compatible file format with the database we use. I have one column that I need to be in a "text" format, and another column that must be in a number format with no decimal place approximations (whole numbers). I know how to go in and format these columns myself, but it is clear that .csv does not like it. Every time I open the file, it resets the formatting in my columns. So, I have to re-format these columns every time I open or re-open the file. If there's information in this file, I have to re-format my columns and re-enter my information so that it is formatted correctly. For example, my first column must be text because it will have things like 001,002,003 etc. I tried using a custom format ###, which did not work. If I save the file and leave it alone, it preserves the format when I import into the database. If I have to re-open it to add something or make changes, all of my first column info is now standard numbers like 1,2,3 etc. So, I reformat the columns, and I have to re-enter 001,002,003 etc. This gets annoying after awhile, especially if my sequences (numbers) go into the triple digits.
Obviously, there's no easy way around this due to the features of a .csv file. So, I would like to add code that executes on file start-up (or open). I want this code to format my columns as stated before, one column must contain text format, another has numerical format with whole number approximation.
I have column A1 as 9/8/2012 11:00:00 AM. I would like to change it in the specific format as DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM, so I want it to read as exactly this way 08.09.2012 11:00.
I tried breaking the format as separate date and time n then joining back still no luck as when i delete columns A and B its a total disaster.
I simply want the DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM format
When I tried to import data in a CSV file, I ran into a couple of issues when trying to change the date format from MM/DD/YYY to other date format. I've already tried a couple things to no avail:
1. Use text to column functions and change the format from text to MMDDY
2. Use format cell function and change the date format
3. Use the text function (text(Cell,"MM-YY"))
Interestingly when I click on the cell and put my cursor and press backspace, the format will change. It seems like there's an extra space, but using the trim function does not work. I can't do this to thousands of data manually.
Is there any way to format the date to DD/MM/YY, and user should be restricted in entering any other formats other than DDMMYY

2. some email addresses prefix with To: . I need to remove "To:", "cc:", "1st support contact:"
3. after doing these operations , need to trim the column to remove unnecessary blank spaces.
4. remove the duplicates in the column
5. Sort them.
6. Need to remove some email addresses from the list. eg: "ocgsoy, Ggo", "IRFO"

I have 3 potx files, for one of them the links come out as:
Site Safety Metrics Rollup.xlsm!PPT1!R101C2:R118C14
the other are like:
C:EHS ReportsTFP EHS ReportSite Safety Metrics Rollup.xlsm!PPT1!R192C2:R209C14
I want to have the same format as the first one i.e., without the path. When the potx files are refreshed the link file will always be opened, so i do not need the path (this is part of a vba program).
The folder containing the files will be sent around and put in different drives.
'EHS Reports' is the main folder and that and everything else inside will remain the same. But the ppt links will not change so obviously will not update when the 'EHS Reports' folder is somewhere else.
Why did the links show up in different formats?
In Excel 2007, is there a way to format the top 3 values in each row of a pivottable?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to export a couple of tabs in excel to PDF format. The code below works perfectly for a single tab, but I'd like to export two tabs into a single PDF document.

I have a excel workbook about 200kb in size. I have about 8 tables and a macro in it. Sometimes when i open it the default format changes to time format and i get values like this 00:00:00.
I have recorded a macro that will do the re-formatting for me.
Isn't there a checkbox somewhere where I can tell Excel 2007 to leave xls files as they are? My Excel 2010 doesn't urge me to save an old xls file format into xlsx but in Excel 2007 I can't find a switch (and I don't rememeber if I had to do anything in 2010). So ultimately I want to stay in compatibility mode when using old files.
