I am using Excel 2007. I have read that if you open an excel 2003 document, that has external links, the links will be recacluated automatically. How do I change the settings in '07 so that the links are not recalculated when I open a 2003 excel file?

If ThisWorkbook.ReadOnly = True Then MsgBox "READ ONLY YOUVE BEEN WARNED"
End Sub
It works fine until its been opened as "read only". What I mean is I open the file and the read only msg box comes up no prob. When the file avail for editing again I open the file and its not updating the control list.
I have an unwanted link and I can't remove it. I have tried through the Edit Links dialog box, searched for [ in formulas throughout the workbook and gone searching manually for the reference but to no avail.

View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a =VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet3!$A$1:$C$7442,2,FALSE) And sometimes it doesnt find the number its looking up, so theres no data to display, so it just shows #N/A is there anyway I can make the =VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet3!$A$1:$C$7442,2,FALSE) display "not found" if it doesnt find anything?
also sometimes if it does find the number its looking up, and the cell next to it is blank, it just displays 0. I could filter it.. and then just replace all the 0 and #N/A with not found, but im just wondering if i could do it in the code too.
I've developed a VBA application for excel in my english version. Now I sent to the client, wich is dutch and use dutch office. they say it gives errors at simple lines like TextBox1.Left=100. It seems there is no Left property. I installed their office but Left is there for me. I suspect their configuration have some version of VBA with translated code language... like using Links instead Left... wich is same thing for dutch. What could cause VBA translation of properties so I can have same configuration as they do?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI built the below udf to run a calculation on a range based off of dates. But it won't recalculate when the cell with a date changes.
I had to do the "application.volatile" at the top and press F9 for it to work.
Is there a way to recalculate without this or trick excel to do so?

I have a macro that can individually turn on or off the EnableCalculation property of each worksheet in a workbook (that is, set the property to True or False). It worked very nicely for a while, and made some of my more formula-laden workbooks much more tractable. But after a while, when I would turn the EnableCalculation back to True for any worksheet, the formulas on that sheet were still frozen (would not recalculate at all), and could only be unfrozen by going to each cell and doing [F2] [Enter]. Just to rule out the obvious, Automatic calculation is turned on, and I have made sure that the macro is successfully returning the EnableCalculation property back to True.
It seems that if I physically go into the VB Editor and manually (through the GUI, as opposed to programmatically) switch the EnableCalculation property back to False, then back to True again, then it will revive the formulas. But this is silly, and I was hoping there was a better solution... maybe someone has encountered this before? If it's just another Microsoft bug, I don't know what's the trigger is, but I imagine it's when you save/close the workbook with some of the sheets' EnableCalculation properties still set to False. I know the property is not stored/saved with the workbook, i.e. all sheets will reset EnableCalculation to True when the workbook is re-opened, but maybe it's still causing a glitch.
My excel file consists of 15 sheets, thereof 4 that are purely graphs, the others have tables with formulas. When opening the file or changing values, the entire sheet is being recalculated every time which takes a few seconds. Is this normal or can one tell to recalculate at another stage?
The activities sheet has a date macro (double click in date cell).
The workbook has a macro for the footer information.
My sheet has a very simple formula in a lot of the cells that simply say this cell in sheet A should equal a cell on sheet B in the same workbook.
I deleted the contents of the cells in sheet B, however the cells in sheet A did not update. It still shows the contents of sheet B that were there before I deleted them. The sheet is set to calculate automatically and I even commanded it to force calculation.
Any clues as to why my sheet will not update?
If I cut a formula from a cell in Sheet A and paste right back, it updates correctly to reflect the cell that was deleted in Sheet B.
I am making a spreadsheet and would like the "placement" tab to look at the "years in position" column and go to another tab and find the corresponding data then put that information into the cell that the formula is in. I have concatenated and the value carries out to about 6 decimal and I cant change the formating. I would like it to display as a currency with 2 decimal places.
If you look at the placement tab cell H7 you can see what I am trying to do. If you change the value in d7 to a value that is on tab 06-09 step plan (b9-b23) then the value is put in other wise noting is returned.
=SUMIF('[Weekly Sheets.xlsx]W1'!$A$8:$A$10000,$C$1,'[Weekly Sheets.xlsx]W1'!$K$8:$K$10000). It works fine but I need it to also lookup cell B8 if B8 has text named "ABS" dont count whats in cell K8

My dad wrote me a VB programme to save me time entering repetitive data into an excel template for my business. At first it didnt work untilll i reduced security to low. Sice then I fried my computer and have had to reformat it with a diffirent version of windows, vista service pack 3. Now even on low security it doesnt work.
The little button in the worksheet to make the macro happen isnt visible or doesnt exist.
I have spread sheet that adds meter readings. As you enter the reading it subtracts from previous month's and gives you net value. But this always shows a negative value in the following month until you enter the current reading.
Also I would like to be able to total these net values as a running total. Is there a simple way to not show the negative values and or use those when getting the running total?

I have a list of asset numbers that I am displaying to a user. I have a cell where the user is to type in the asset number. What I would like is to be able to display a list of matches in another group of cells.
I.e. - if the cell is populated with "D49", the list on the right will contain all asset numbers starting with "D49"...
I can do this easily enough if I wait for the "Change" event on the worksheet - but this necessitates the user typing some in, hitting enter, etcetera.
Is there any way to trigger an event per keystroke instead of on worksheet.change?
I have a cell which sums up a lot of random number generators (after going through several other functions) and therefore every time the worksheet recalculates the value of this cell changes.
Is there any way I can get this cell to print it's value say, 1000 times, each print one cell below the previous, with a recalculate in-between each print? I'm guessing this needs scripts? Or is there a way of just directly inputting this into 1000 cells and letting it fly?

how to lock a formula in a cell, protect the sheet but still allow it to recalculate when new data is entered in a unlocked cell that feeds the formula? I am using Excel 2003.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to make a drop down menu whereby each choice in the drop down would re-calculate my workbook.
Let me explain:-
I want to make a drop down menu in sheet 1 with 3 choices.
The 3 choices come from sheet 2 (row 1, column A, B, C).
I have data in sheet 2 in rows 2 through to 6 in columns A, B, C.
I have sheet 3 that currently uses the data from sheet 2 row 2 through to 6 for column A.
I want to be able to use the drop down menu in sheet 1 to choose either column A, B, or C in sheet 2 and then re-calculate the data in sheet 3 accordling.
I have the drop down menu made now.... but how can i re-calculate the values in sheet 3 after choosing a choice in the drop down?
I need to create a drop down menu or something of that sort, that allows the user to select what units he wants his results to be in.
When a particular units system is selected, the results must be recalculated and displayed in their respective cells.
No matter which units are selected, the units must always be displayed in the same set of cells, that means the formula or reference in the set of those output cells must change automatically, based on the units selection.
My workbook in Excel 2003 is set to manual re-calculation to save constant updating of all the worksheets.
However, I have 2-3 worksheets where I have a drop list box containing dates and I would like all of the information in that particular worksheet to update itself when the date changes.
e.g. If dropdown list box in B2, when changed from 4/10/08 to 11/10/08 all formulas etc are updated.
Have done a search but the only examples I can find are ones where the worksheet updates itself whenever any cell is changed.
I have a worksheet which will take a long time to recalculate. So, I want to recalculate only on selected range.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have sheets 3, 4, 5 which I would like to only _manually_ recalculate (with a macro -- the sheets are locked at other times), and say sheets 1, 2, 6 which I would like to automatically calculate.
Is there a way to do this in excel? I can only see a way to manually/automatically calculate the entire Excel application, which is really not ideal.
When I have a column of data, say reference A1 to A9 with a formula beneath it in A10 being that the formula is = SUM(A1:A9) when I update any of the data in A1 to A9 the figure in A10 does not update. The only way to get it to update is to click in A10 where the formula is and then click in the formula bar and press enter; the formula seems to recalculate after this and it works or you need to save it and it works. It should work right after any change in the data being added.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have made some UDFs (custom functions) using VBA, when the problem is that they don't update automatically like standard functions. I have numerous tickboxes which cause text to become bolded, and then my function counts the total, only including bolded text:
Function CountGamerScore() As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim strScore As String
Dim intDigit As Integer
i = 6
For i = 6 To 52
strScore = "L" & i
If Range(strScore).Font.Bold = True Then
intDigit = Left(Range(strScore).Value, Len(Range(strScore).Value) - 1)
CountGamerScore = CountGamerScore + intDigit
End If
Next i
End Function
However, if I untick or tick a checkbox, the bold and unbold works fine (done in another sub, but the function does not update the value in the cell for total.
Therefore, is there any VBA code that will tell Excel to recalculate formulae??
