Scenario: I have 5 different tables, all having the same headers. The values under are Vlookups.
Objective: Create a dropbox that lists (Table 1, Table 2, etc.) For whichever table is picked, is the one that will show.
For example, if I want table 1 to populate, I would chose table one in the drop box and so on for the rest of the other tables.
I use a macro that automatically generates a pivot table, re-formats the data, and then makes sure there are no blanks and that the DATA area of the pivot table is set to SUM OF and not COUNT OF.
It was working just fine yesterday but today it is giving me the following error and is highlighting this section of my
Is it possible to detect when a auto-filter selection has been made ? Is that when an autofilter hides rows, the activecell could become hidden, which potentially may cause errant data entry, not knowing what cell is receiving entry as it is hidden from view.
if the worksheet contains a change event that autosizes the target row, it unhides the filtered hidden row in the process. I could say if target is hidden ignore autosize, but i would prefer to activate a visible cell (first visible cell for filtered column) on selection of autofilter.
I am building a template in Excel and I want an error message (or any message) to appear to the user if they select from a static drop-down the same option in column I as in column J (i.e. they have to pick something different in each case).
Issue is I can't exclude any options from the second validation because, essentially, it's the same list. So if, on one row, a person picks "Bill" in column I, they can't pick "Bill" in column J. However, if they have picked "James" in column I, they can pick "Bill" in column J.
Don't know if this is well explained enough but would appreciate any tips on this - I've tried messing about with validation, conditional formatting, putting an IF statement in the next column and so forth but I haven't found a method that isn't convaluted and easy for the user of the template...
I cant figure out how to do this, see attached example

View 4 Replies View Relatedthe attached spreadsheet is designed to record the number of days off workers have in a week. The drop down menu gives you choices to record the reason why a worker is absent but what I can’t do is total the number of days absent in a week as its words used to describe the absence and not numbers. If any one could assist me to total the days. I have attached an example which should explain the problem in a clearer manner.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to run a macro that will make conditional formatting I have applied permanent, and then remove the conditional formatting from the cell. My application for this is a master fantasy football cheatsheet, with multiple columns of the same player names ranked in different orders. When a player is drafted I type their name in cell A1, and conditional formatting is setup on so that name (presumably once in each column) will be highlighted/bolded/etc. For example, if I typed "LaDainian Tomlinson" in cell A1, I would be able to find his name in each list/column (from the conditional formatting that will make it stand out), and then run the macro to make this formatting permanent (show he has been drafted), and remove the conditional formatting code, leaving the effects. I found a macro online to do this at the following link, but am having some issues:
When I run the macro on any cells not containing conditional formatting, I get the message: "The formatting based on the conditions in the range (whatever is highlighted) has been made standard for those cells and the conditional formatting has been removed."
This messsage is precisely what I am trying to do, however, when I run the macro on a cell with conditional formatting (when it would actually be beneficial), I get "Run-time error '13' Type Mismatch"
When I go to debug, the error appears to be on the line

I am a trainee dermatologist. We undertake allergy patch tests. There is a long list of different patch tests which are selected based on the patients history. I have put each of the types of patch testing on a master sheet. What I would like to be able to do is to have a control button next to each set, and when clicked would add that particular set to a "new patient" worksheet tab. And with every set having its own button, more than one set could be added to a new sheet. In the new patient worksheet id like the sets added with a single row gap between them.
I had tried, and managed to get a single series to work, but then it wouldnt allow me to add the next set, saying that sheet already exists. Ideally finally, id like there to be some way, or message to make sure after printing the new patient worksheet gets deleted.
I hope that all makes sense ! Even if I had a code for a single button that added to a master sheet at the next available row +1 I think I could manipulate the code to suit.
Basicly I used conditional formatting and lots of "IF".My solution lacks in style and it's time consuming ..
Long story short: I need to modify the way some cells are displayed based on the selection in a specific dropdown list.
I need that whenI select Task3 from the dropdown list next to "step1: please select" , everything from row 15 to row21 (both 15 & 21 rows included) and from row 23 on, to disappear.
I am attempting to populate a row of several cells on a worksheet using a drop-down list, using data from a seperate worksheet in the same workbook.

As a follow-up question, as time goes by, the data in the source worksheet will be appended with new items (additional rows of data). As each new item is added, will I need to edit the formulas, or is there a way for Excel to dynamically add the new data? This might be stretching my wish list a bit but I thought I'd ask.
I have a set of data on excel and would like to make searching for it easier.

I need VBA code to do the following:
When cell H2 = "Weekly", I need cell I2 to return "50".
When cell H2 = "Bi-weekly", I need cell I2 to return "25".
The value in Column I should change as soon as the value in Column H changes.
NOTE: The value in Column H is chosen from a Data Validation List.
I'm assuming offset is the best option?
Is it possible to always print out a specific pivot table even if changes/selection and range have changed? What I have right now is a button that prints out the pivot table (assuming the range is not changing). But if a user changes selection the button prints only a part of the pivot table.

In Excel I've declared an array outside of any sub or function.
Dim programList() As String
Now I want to use that array, populating and depopulating as needed by calling these subs from elsewhere:
Sub addProgramToArray(ByVal x As String)
' Adds worksheet names to an array for use with adjusting program lengths
If IsArray(programList) Then
thisCount = UBound(programList)
End If
Redim Preserve programList(thisCount + 1)
programList(thisCount) = x
End Sub
Sub removeProgramFromArray(ByVal x As String)
' Removes worksheet names from array, for use with adjusting program lengths
' We do this without resorting the array
If IsArray(programList) Then
For i = 0 To UBound(programList) - 1
If programList(i) = x Then
programList(i) = ""
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
But when run it generates an Error 9 Subscript Out of Range error on the addProgram or removeProgram subs. I suspect it might be the ubound on an empty array, or the fact that I'm trying to use an array I declared outside of the subs.
I use a Macro that when run, will generate an email with the excel sheet attached. See attached example.
My two questions are:
- Is it possible for the body of the email that is generated to have spaces within the text? So it shows more like the below:

Please find today's forecast for Friday, May 07, 2010 attached.

- Also, the colors in the spreadsheet change automatically when the macro attaches the sheet. Why is this? Is it possible to do something so that this does not happen?

I have a spreadsheet with a single worksheet. This worksheet contains 1200+ rows of equipment. Each row of equipment is made up of 4 columns: the equipment name, then the department (made up of sections), section (made up of teams) and team (a few workers) responsible for maintaining it.
I have been given the task of making it easy for the departments, sections and teams to identify which pieces of equipment are theirs. I have been specifically told to add a new worksheet to the spreadsheet that contains 3 drop-down menus; you guessed it, department, section and team. The idea is that someone chooses the department, section and team that they work for, then click worksheet 2 and their equipment has been filtered for them. (Some teams come under more than one section or department, depending on the task so I do need all three drop down lists). What I can't do is get a the drop down lists in worksheet 1 to filter the data in worksheet 2.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to design a generator in excel that generates algebraic expressions.
For example
In cell B4 the formula is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)
In cells C4:29 I have letters a - z listed in a column one letter per cell.
In a separate cell from which excel reads is the formula:
=B4&CHOOSE((RANDBETWEEN(1,26)),$C$4,$C$5,$C$7,$C$6,$C$8,$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$C$12,$C$13,$C$14,

For example one possible result would be 3f.
However if the result was 1m, in a separate cell I want excel to realise that B4=1 and then display it as m.

I have a VBA macro for automatically create a word report using data in Access and Excel. The macro is hosted within a Excel document but are using both Word-, Excel and Access objects/dataTtemplates for the creation.
The errors appears what it seems randomly. The macro iterates the same code a few times even in Office 365 but then it crashes. The most common error messages are:
Error 1:
Run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)':
Automation error : The server threw an exception.
Error 2:
Run-time error '462':
The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable
Error 3:
This action cannot be completed because the application () is busy. Choose Switch To to activate and correct the problem.
(no options are working, this hang the application)
If I debug usually the error originates from the code where I ether close the workbook template I'm using:
excelWorkbook.Close False
... or when I paste a chart from Excel to the Word report:
wordDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteSpecial
Even more strange are that sometimes if I continue to run the macro its all working again. This ONLY happens when the client office installation is O365. Office 2013 works just fine. I thought O365 and Office 2013 was fairly equal?
