View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating a large excel file with multiple tabs and I need one of the tabs to contain a PDF. I have tried going to insert - object - browse - found the PDF file but it imports very blurry and it's quite hard to read. I tried inserting the object/PDF as a "link to file" and/or "display as icon" and all that essentially does is insert a shortcut to the PDF so that only works if you're on the same computer you used to create the link. I need to be able to send this file to another computer and be able to access the PDF somehow. Am I going to have to buy Adobe's ability to convert PDFs to .xls?

I have attached one winzip file that is carrying Age Calculator in it so that you can have a brief understanding about how does the portable software looks like, age calculator is a portable software as it does not need installation & it works as we run it. I am also attaching excel demo file with it by the name ""time zone", its rough simulacrum of my original project file.

I've done this before in Excel 2003 but I can't seem to do it in Excel 2007 because the control isn't there in the additional controls list.
In Excel 2003 it was called Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0 and when ticked gave an extra item on the control toolbox which allow you to draw an excel spreadsheet control into a userform.
It's not there in the VBE of Excel 2007 - How to do it in this version?

How do I embed a pdf file into a worksheet. I've got the following code so far:
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(classtype:="AcroExch.Document.7", link:=True, DisplayAsIcon:=False).Activate
The code works but it doesn't allow me to specify the filename (i.e. C: est.pdf)
I have a need to embed a wav file into a workbook. This is fairly simple to do through the insert>>object>>create from file, but I see no way to do this through VBA. I want the entire process to be simple so the user just has to click a button, pick their file from explorer, then play the sound file through the little speaker icon that is generally created.
In the end the one sheet (filename.xls) is the only thing sent through email and it must contain the wav embedded inside without using the insert>>object>>create from file route.
I am trying to show the select file window, choose a pdf, and insert it into a new sheet. i'm using this code:

I am receiving an error: Run-time error: 1004 Cannot insert object.
why there is no option for adding a picture manually to the comment of a cell? when editing a comment the Insert picture from file from the Insert menu is disabled ! (Office XP)
and can you please edit the code so the Width and Height of the comment box is set exactly to the dimensions of the picture? (that is how to get the exact width and height of the picture being inserted from code in excel ?)
I've already nested INDEX and MATCH sucesfully
I wish to embed/nest (I'm not sure what the difference/ correct syntax is)
These Funtions:
1. "=INDEX($H$4:$H$9,MATCH(G14,$G$4:$G$9,0))"
2, =HLOOKUP(Arg!D10,Arg!$D$10:$DA$50,5,FALSE)
The HLOOKUP returns a text value that the Index and Match convert into a number. I wish this to be done in one cell - is this possible?
I'm using INDEX with MATCH because HLOOKUP can return a 'not applicable' that equals '6' this need to be discounted in my results but that is a digression FYI.
I am working on a financial tracking sheet for somebody in my organization. The totals have to be entered as number of bills, but he wants to read it afterword as $ amount. So is there a way to type in the number of bills in a cell (ie, 15) but have the $ amount (ie, $300.00) show up in the same cell when he hits enter or tab? This is my least favorite solution (assuming it is even possible), but it is what he is asking for. I feel like I just need to know that it won't work before he agrees to try something else.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have a sheet that autogenerates a .csv file and uploads it into a webform. In order to do this I have to open an Internet Explorer window go to webpage and use the sendkye function, my code looks like this:
Dim ie As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate "http://uploadsite/upload.form"
'Check connection til web loop!
Do
If ie.ReadyState = 4 Then
ie.Visible = False
Exit Do
Else
DoEvents
End If
Loop
if I instead could EMBED the webbrowser into my sheet and then go to the upload site and upload the file directly from the sheet. I have some basic vba skills, but I have never worked with the embedded objects.
I just learned how to do an Indirect.
So that i can make many pages without having to go through and change everything.
I want have excel search for a name contained in A1 in a table (so i use vlookup).
then but i want be able to change the sheet name easily.
so what i need is something like this:
=VLookup(A1,(INDIRECT("'" & B2 & "'!")),$b$6:$S$23,2,)
this does not work.
But i want the sheet name to be the thing INDIRECT looks up, while the name in A1 is the thing that the VLookup is trying to find.
I am trying to embed part of a webpage into my worksheet. Specifically, I want to include a form from a web-site that allows me to enter a flight number. I then want the results to pop-up in a new web-window.
So, I want the search box (or a section of the webpage) to appear in my excel worksheet so that I don't have to always open IE when searching for data.

That's the web page.
I have a file with two sheets - Main and Reference. The file has a macro that when used from Main sheet displays some data (images to be specific) from the Reference sheet. The main sheet is of a specific format and has some buttons to call the macro.
I want to have the capability to create any number of main sheets of the same format. I know this can be done by saving the Main sheet as a template and right clicking on a sheet and clicking 'Insert..'. But that would require the template to be stored in the excel start file on the local computer.
I want to know if there is any way the worksheet template can be stored within an excel file, so that if the file is sent to people on a different computer, the user can easily add more worksheets using the template?
I've just written up an SOP for a reconciliation process. Part of it requires the reader to use some Excel UDFs that I've created. Rather than having someone look for the UDF file on the network, I tried to embed it as an Excel Worksheet Icon within my procedure document. However, when I double-click the icon to launch the add-in, I get the following error message:
"Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?" This does not happen when I embed a regular Excel workbook, or even a template.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy vlookup works.
My IF(ISNA works.
Now I just need to incorporate a formula for if is blank. Not sure where to incorporate it or how.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(F2,Contacts!H:J,3,FALSE)),"Unknown",VLOOKUP(F2,Contacts!H:J,3,FALSE))
The field is a concatenation of three other fields and only the first of three parts should be boldfaced -- the second and third part should be normal faced.
Is there an easy way to do this in excel 2007? Right now, the formula is:
=CONCATENATE(UPPER(TRIM('Raw Data'!H26)),CHAR(10), TRIM('Raw Data'!G26)," [",TRIM('Raw Data'!J26),"]")
and the part in red, is to appear boldfaced.
I am attempting to merge a scroll bar and an activeX text box. I currently have a horizontal scroll bar that links to a cell with values from 1-20, A dynamic label in the adjacent cell changes when the scroll bar moves. I need the label to be inside the scroll bar track/tray. I was told an activeX text box would do the trick. However, i am new to VBA and activeX text boxes any code or solution to this problem. Conditions:
The slider and the track should overlay the text box label
The track should be transparent but on top of the label
The label should be a perfect fit to the slider's tray
Here is a reference to the scroll bar labels. I have posted an example file of what i am attempting to achieve.
How do you embed a flash file into excel 2003?
And is it userfriendly? For users to use the excel file, they must have flash software installed right?
I have a named range called ReportMonth and I want to embed it into this Table reference to make the number of columns that are summed dynamic:
