I'm trying to make a menu in my Workbook to access all the others sheets.
To make things easier for my boss, I'm trying to make the menu with SmartArt Shapes (Hierarchic) because it's easier to add/remove itens.
The thing is: he wants it to show the boxes below (hierarchic child) when i click the "mother" box.
It will work pretty like web menus except the mouseover. Image below

I'm using Excel to create a flowchart from a configuration sheet. I'm not manually entering the coordinates. Instead, I draw the start step in a set location. The next step(s) that's connected to the first step is placed directly below the start step. if there's more than one step connected to the start step, it's placed at the same y-coordinate but shifted along the x-axis.
The problem I'm running into here is this: say I have three steps connected to the start step and three further steps connected to the first of the three connected to the start step, how can I keep track of this and shift the other two steps connected to the start step along the x-axis so they're not positioned above the four steps below the first step (and as such, in the same location as other steps)? I'm not sure if my description is particularly clear or not so I've attached a drawing that will hopefully clear things up.
Is there any way of giving Excel shapes a "weight" so that other shapes won't line up on top of them?
I wrote a formula to recognise when a child equalled or bettered a club record (CR) in an event. However what I neglected to do and cannot work out is for the formula to recognise the new time as the new club record that will then have to be equalled or bettered from then on to be recognised as a club record. For example CR for 70 metres is 9.28 secs. Formula I was working with was IF(ISBLANK(B3),""),IF(B3

Contract Item
Gross Profit
GP %
[Code]....
It is Gross Profit in Dollars and % for a particular project. Each row is a contract Item. The Overall Gross Profit for the month in dollars is 34,114.86 In preparing a short commentary to discuss this 34,114.86 I need to discuss atleast some contract items. If there were no negative results I have often in the past simply written. The top 5contributors to this Gross Profit were contract items 1 -6, out of 42, delivering 80% of the result. I might also go into what actually those contract items were and why they presented such a decent Gross Margin, ie. Costs came in well under budget(estimate). But with negative results, the bottom 4 contract items represent a large dollar loss of-34k which is 100% basically of the Gross Profit itself. If these had even just broken even we would have a GP double the current amount. So they obviously deserve as much comment.
Q1
In excel orsimilarly in say Crystal Reports what is a good way of further sorting these 42records either in a table or chart, whereby say the top 80% contract items that had a major impact on the gross profit are shown and the rest hidden. Ie. All thelittle sub 1000 or sub -1000 amounts.
Q2
How wouldother people here write a commentary on this data set? Can you script something to illustrate?
I am trying to programatically access a built in excel menu to edit the font dialog for text boxes. Specifically, I want to access the diolag box which opens when a text box is selected and you click the arrow in the bottom right of the font group in the home tab (Excel 2007). I do not want the dialog box which opens when just a cell is selected. The dialog I want has two tabs - font and character spacing. I know how to use application.dialogs().show to open built in dialog boxes in VBA, but I can't figure out how to show this specific dialog.

I have some rows in my sheet locked and some unlocked rows. When user clicks on a unlocked row I should be able to enter some information. I am suppose to populate some dropdowns in that row for him to choose. How can this be done??
I know when a user clicks a row worksheet change event is call. I can write a function in the worksheet change event to populate values in the dropdown. I went through some articles, and they say it can be done by hiding and unhiding rows.
I have a chart with event timestamps (2008-06-09 14:48:15.973) and two event types (A and B) with about 12000 events in total. I want to show a chart (probably line chart) that plots the frequency of events on a time axis (e.g. very many event A last night, not so many today, etc). I figure two time series with A and B independently so user can compare visually. But I dont know how to efficiently convert the events into a counter/frequency of events variable/column.
Ive looked into DSUM, DCOUNT & FREQUENCY functions to make a new column that shows how many events have happened in the previous 10 minutes without success. DCOUNT/DSUM problem: some of the criteria fields are computed by formula (date column minus ten minutes).
When you double click on a number in a pivot table data area you get a new sheet with that information showing the detail, is there anyway to "trap" this action?
I want to run a macro on the detail data but can't see a way to do it automatically, have tried, BeforeDoubleClick, PivotTableUpdate, NewSheet events but all have there draw backs if you are doing something other than showing the detail for the pivot table. Of course I can just run the macro after the sheet is made but it would be nice to do it on its own.
it is possible to add a mouse over event to this Macro so that when a user runs the mouse over the bitmap picture that this macro is assigned to it would show the value in TextBox7 for the record with the specified TextBox1 Value.
For example for the below Macro it would show the Value of TextBox7 for the record that matches "103" in TextBox1
I have searched the Forum as well as a few different VBA books and can not find much on Mouse Over events
Sub crkt_id_103()
Load frmMain
frmMain.TextBox1 = "103"
frmMain.Show
End Sub
I want to show which rows of data have been changed by incrementing a revision attribute. For example, if a user changes the contents of a cell anywhere between rows 2 and 13 and col 1 and 9 then the revision attribute in col 10 would increment from 1 to 2 (for the affected row). If another change affects the same row then the rev attribute would increment to 3, and so forth. I don't care which cell was changed only that something on that row was touched.
I thought the CHANGE event was a dead ringer for triggering some VBA code to control this but, since part of the change event code writes the revision value, this triggers another CHANGE event causing an endless loop until something (??) kicks in and stops it after 220 iterations. Is there a way to inhibit the change event just prior to updating the cell containing the version attribute?
Rather than post the code here I have submitted the workbook that includes the whole setup and code. I should also mention I looked at all the other worksheet events and I do not see any "triggers" that would fire each time a cell content is changed. As a side note, is there a way to step into the code of a change event? F8 does nothing.
I am using the following Selection_Change Event to show a UserForm when a cell in 1 of 31 named ranges is selected.

For i = 1 To 31

So I have two worksheets. One sheet has all of the names of attendees to a current event (column a, about 109 entries), and the other sheet has all of the names that have ever registered for my events along with their emails (column a and column b, 3000 entries). I need to merge data from column B of the second sheet to the corresponding name in the first worksheet, and disregard the extras (or just put them at the end so i can clear the contents). So I am just trying to get the email addresses of the people in the first sheet, from the data in the second sheet.
I've tried to look at the consolidate data function, but that does not match up the names to the email addresses correctly. What about a filter?
I have a drop down list in excel. What do I need to do so that it will automatically take me to the closest/best label on the list when I type just a few first letters?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIm having some problems with range selection in macros. Basically, what the macro does is Copy / Paste as Values in differet sectors of an active worksheet, so this is the code for each range of cells that I need to copy paste:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("C14:E15").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
The problem with this code, is that because it specifies EXACTLY which range to select, if I add a row before that range the macro will be now selecting an incorrect range.
For example, say I have a value on cell A5, and the macro is set up to copy/paste that cell. Later on, I decide to add a row in A3, so the value I would need to copy/paste will now be in A6, but the macro will still execute on A5 (incorrect, as it should now execute in A6, and that is what I have to manually correct each time).
In my userform I have a lot of textboxes. When the user clicks "OK" the values of these textboxes are transfered to row 3 of sheet1.
For this I use some of the code below:
Code:
If NaamTextBox.Value = "" Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " " Else: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = NaamTextBox.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
If GroepComboBox.Value = "" Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "" Else: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = GroepComboBox.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
If TypeTextBox.Value = "" Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " " Else: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = TypeTextBox.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Range("A1").Select
If TypecodeTextBox.Value = "" Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " " Else: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = TypecodeTextBox.Value
This goes on for about 55 columns. Also, not every column is used as you can see in de code above.
It seems to me that this is not smart coding, so my question is: can you make this more efficient?
I did find some nice code with uses EmptyRow (find first empty row) but in my case it's always row 3 where de input is placed. After this row follows much more data.

Basically the data spit out by machine is separated by a blank row.
Let's say I need all the data with the child row "tn" , so I would autofilter /PivotTable it for that entry, but that leaves me with a blank column A. It'd be no issue if I had the column A heading in the child rows (and the number of spaces in between is random like 2 sometimes 15+ so Vlookup/Index/Match aren't too useful). It is possible to have a function that repeats the first row until it hits a space?
Like so:

I have an application that uses data stored in an excel spreadsheet. Over time the amount of data has become greater, and the application more unwieldy and difficult to maintain. In order to simplify it, I am trying to create a userform that displays multiple levels of master-child table data (for example, clients-orders-items). The data is stored in separate worksheets. The lower levels must allow inserting and deleting lines, moving them up or down, and editing the data. Does anyone have an example of such a userform that I could adapt to my specific requirements?

I have data for , say - Cars, Company and Average.
I solve this upto 2 level i.e cars and companies.
But i want a third level also.
When i select Car from drop down list, using data - validation - list , in cells(1,1) , i should get all companies in Cells(1,2) and on selecting companies , i should get Average in cells(1,3).
If i do define name ,and then data validation list , and then use Indirect() function, i can solve it upto 2 level.
Eg. I can get company for car .. but how to get Average Also.
I have an excel file (see sample attached) with a hierarchy with parents and children spread across different columns and rows. However, I am trying to condense it into one column with parents and one column with children. The only way I've been able to do this is by copying and pasting parents onto children rows, which is both a manual and time-consuming process (when you have a lot of rows). I feel like there must be a way to use VBA or a formula or something to get it to work. I have attached a sample, so you can see what I am trying to do (current data and desired data).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI encounter the following problem which has been bugging me for weeks.
I am doing up an engineering spreadsheet which calculate the electrical cable size from node A to node B.
Col A and B goes like this:
From|To
Transformer|MSB_A
MSB_A|SSB_A1
Transformer|MSB_B
MSB_B|SSB_B1
SSB_A1|DB_A1
SSB_B1|DB_B1
So Transformer is the parent of MSB_A and MSB_A is in turn the parent of SSB_A1 and so on.
What I would like to achieve is to put these data into the following configuration:
Transformer----->MSB_A
............................|-> SSB_A1
.....................................|----->DB_A1
Transformer----->MSB_B
...........................|-> SSB_B1
....................................|-----.>DB_B1
NB: Please ignore the "dots" above.
This will give the user an overview of the parents and node relationship.
I can't seem to find a solution how to achieve this.
