Entering Text Automatically
May 4, 2009
I really DO have a problem. I need excel to create me a list of whenever someone enters their name. Now, this may sound simple, but, the text in the list CANNOT be allowed to be overwritten.Also the text needs to be entered into the NEXT empty cell between C30 and C50. This is basically so I can keep a record of whenever anybody does anything/modifies the cells that include text between S7 andS21
So basically if text is ever entered into S7 all the way down to S21, I need an automatic copy created into the next available cell between C30 and 390. It is also ok if there are duplicates values(names).
I would give a print screen, but I don't know where the attach button is on this forum.

In simplicity: We want to be able to enter a value in cell A1 (and hit enter), but we want the value in A1 to be increased by the value saved in H1.
So: if H1 had 250 saved in it, if we enter 150 in A1 (and hit enter), we want the value in A1 to become 400.

I have two files which are attached.
One is the main report file "ops report.xls" and other is the raw file (Air.xlsx) from which data is to be added to this file. i manually take the data and enter it into the ops report everyday. This i want to automate as there are many such sheets to be completed (i have mentioned just "Air" sheet here in ops report).
Now what exactly i want to do is?
take data from Air.xlsx workbook as per the columns in the Air sheet in Ops report and paste it on that particular date row. this i will have to do everyday so the nest day the data will be pasted on next row against the date. The yellow columns which i have marked have formula so you need not touch that columns.
I nee to paste the average of Air sales and Air service. so we have to take average of row 43 and row 89 for first two columns in ops report. and then average of row 44 and row 90 for column L,N,O,P,Q in the ops report.
Afterwards the average of column J must be pasted in "Interval" sheet in ops report.
This is a bit tough but i know there are many genius people out there who can easily solve this.

How do I enter a value into a cell and divide that number automatically by another value all within the same cell.
For example..
I want to enter 20 into a cell and have it change into 17.24 (20/1.16) automatically all within that same cell.

I have an excel sheet which has a macro which captures the current time in a cell with the formula =now(). What I am looking for is that once a user runs a macro and the time is inserted into that cell then that cell should be locked and cannot be changed then. If this can be done by any formula / function or VBA.

I remember years ago that I made a couple formulas that on sheet one would transfer to another sheet when I enter in sheet one.

I have worksheet that contain values in column E and G and the total in column K. E and G are unlocked for manual input and column K contains the formula for the total and is locked. From time to time a certain row will not be applicable and before I started locking the cells in column K i would just put "not applicable". Now that it's lock I can't do that. My only option now is to put O in column E and G but I would rather put "not applicable" in column K. Is there a way around this. I was thinking of something along the line of a macro that would unlock the worksheet input the text and re lock it. The macro would have to lunch when a locked cell is selected or have a button that would launch the macro an would prompt for which cell the text would be entered. Is this possible.

In a sheet I enter the following:
... in A1 a year (say 2012)
... in A2 a month, formatting as "MMM" (JAN, FEB, MAR etc.)
How to automatically get in column A (say from A3) all the dates of the month entered, formatting as "D/M/YYYY" (e.g. 1/1/2012, 2/1/2012/ 3/1/2012, etc.)?

I am caught in an areas where I have learned how to find the next available empty row by going far down my worksheet, counting up until I reach a filled row and then offsetting that value by 1 as seen here below:
NextRow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
My difficulty lies in assigning the cells in this empty row the data a user can input in my text boxes; let's say there are 4 text boxes which need to be put into the following cells:
Text box 1 (Text value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: AText box 2 (Text value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: B (1 offset away from A)Text box 3 (Numeric value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: F (5 offsets away from A)Text box 4 (Numeric value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: H (7 offsets away from A).
How would I go about using my identified "NextRow" and then plug in these text box values into their appropriate cells down that row?

I'm trying to make a schedule for some of my employees (300 to be exact) and I was trying to work out a way of speeding things up a bit. I've made plenty of pretty complex equations for working with the task but the solution for what I would like to do now alludes me.
Here's the challenge: I have a sheet where I would like to insert employees within row 4 and then have their shifts shown visually in the column below that, and have the hours they work put into a merged cell (or something similar), like what can be seen in the blue cell under "Employee 1" (C6). What I would like to do is just have something like a VBA detect that a series of cells is merged (red cells) and insert the corresponding time, located within B5:B33, into that cell (with same format as the blue cell). Also, above the employee's name I could put a button to run something like a macro to run the program for the corresponding employee directly under that button.
Essentially I want to merge a series of cells, hit a button, and have excel locate and input the correct times within that merged cell.

I have a worksheet which contains START TIME in column A, then TIME USAGE in column B and END TIME in column C. User enters start time, followed by the number of time usage in minutes, how could i possibly display the end time automatically in this scenario? how do you add the entered time usage to the start time to display the end time? Say if I enter 1:00 AM at start time and 00:15 minutes on time usage, how can 1:15 AM be displayed on the end time automatically?

In one column (Column A) I have a column of data which contains long descriptive text - i want to extract a specific piece of text from this descriptive text and enter it into the next Column (Column B).
E.g. Cell A1 = "Hello Buddy, how are you?" - i want to extract the word Buddy and enter it into cell B1
then A2 into B2, A3 into B3, etc, etc,...
Is there a simple macro out there that can do this?

Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.

problem i am having is lets say in cell A1 i put this text:
Andy,64,8,12 (which is taken from a drop down list)
Then convert it to columns in rows B&C
When i change the text in A1 to Something else from the drop down menu, the text in rows B&C does not update and stays as ANDY,64,8,12 instead of updating to the new text entered in A1.
how to get the text in rows B&C to update automatically with row A, If it can be done it would hit the nail right on the head as this is holding me back big time.

I have a textbox showing 7 lines of words.
When it is shown in my computer, everything looks fine.
When I use another computer, the lines in the textbox could be shown completely since the height of the textbox is not enough to show the whole text. I guess it is because the resolution of the screen is different.
How can I let the text be shown completely in a textbox even on different computers?

I have a spreadsheet with a pivot table in it. Column "G" has all of the data in it I need to abbreviate, problem is, I only want the values in BOLD face, and there are 3-5 rows seperating each boldfaced item. I would have to manually copy-paste each bold value into a new, 'clean' column ( column "I", or in a new sheet/workbook, it doesn't matter), and lather-rinse-repeat for the next 700+ rows. It sucks. No, it really does. I stumbled upon this website which is seemingly the utopia for excel macro and programming problems, so is there anyone out there that might take the time to walk me through it...?

I have a lot of .txt files that needed to be converted to .csv file format. Right now I am doing it manually using MS Excel i.e. File > Open. For each file, I need to specify the length of each fields one by one, so it is quite an effort for me.
Is there any way to automate this process using MS Excel or any other existing programs?

I would like a user to be able to enter text into a cell in any case and have it be displayed in all capital letters (or as a "Proper" capitalization). Seems strange that >FORMAT doesn't seem to have a "case" selection.
Past threads show VB code to do this, but I don't want the user to have to click a button to change case. Could the VB code run automatically after the user hits >enter, or tab, or an ->? Is there a way to >FORMAT a cell to do this change? I know the "Upper" & "Proper" functions but it would be very clumsy to have the user enter data in cell A1 just to be displayed in capitals in cell A2.
Example: When user types "lax" in cell A1, I would like "LAX" to be displayed in cell A1.

I have a pivot table (vendor spend report) which has over 7000 rows of data. There are 38 vendors (some vendors appear multiple times i.e. Accenture Itay, Accenture Germany, etc.). Vendors names are in column B.
I need to have the VBA script search for each of the vendors (and related names) and group them together. Also, last one is for all the MISC. vendors which need to be group together (one's that dont belong to the 38 managed vendors).
Also, I need to rename the Group for each one; rather than Group1, I need to name it "Accenture All" etc...

I'm trying to Automatically fit the text to the size of the TextBox frame using:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame2
strTxt = .TextRange
.DeleteText
.WordWrap = msoTrue
.AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape
.TextRange = strTxt
End With
It appears ".AutoSize = msoAutoSizeTextToFitShape" only considers the width (I think) as the text is downsized but yet the text still extends beyond the the bottom of the frame. And never gets set to less than 11 point. Even when there's not enough text to reach the bottom of the frame the text is still set to 11pt leaving the frame half empty. Need to have text big as possible.
How to keep text in its entirety within the frame of the shape?
The quantity of text varies widely and the frame size cannot change. I've tried using Len() and dividing by a certain number and then based on that answer set the size with:
Code:
With obFinalNote.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Normal"
.Size = NoteFontSize
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
But this technique doesn't seem reliable as the number to divide the Len() by seems to depend on how "wraps" have occured.

I am trying to find a formula that will automatically fill in text that is entered in Sheet1 if it matches with a name in Sheet 2. I have found a formula that will enter a number but it will not work for text.
=SUMPRODUCT(Sheet 1!$C$3:$C$31,--(Sheet 2!$B$3:$B$31=$A15))
I would like the job on sheet 2 column B to fill in from what is listed next to their name on Sheet 1 column C, if the name of the person is entered on Sheet 2.
Sheet 1
NameJob1MaryFile2JohnLog3SallyIntake4PeterPack
Sheet 2

I'm looking to build a macro which will automatically transfer a line of text from one worksheet to another within the same workbook. Once the macro has been run, the text in the original sheet should disappear and re-appear in the other worksheet. It should appear in the same column, but different line from the original.

I need to bring in 2600 student names from a cvs file and have it formatted to an Excel workbook.
When it imports into the Excel file I need it to populate the proper boxes, such as:
StudentLastName
StudentFirstName
StudentID
GradeLevel
TeacherName
TeacherID
RoomNumber
I have the CVS attached. Hope I can get this done. As you can see it shows the teacher's name with their first initial, their teacher number that they are identified by and their room number. I need the student ID as well but not the phone number and the days of the week. This would save a lot of work.

I am creating a series of charts that all include a text box containing "(N=[value])", with different values in each instance, but with each N value listed as a total frequency in each table. I am creating hundreds of these, so if there is a way to automatically pull the correct N value from a cell into the text box, it would make this faster. I have written simple functions in excel tables but have no experience with VBA/macros.
