Excel 2007 :: Adding Characters In A Cell With Various Fonts
Jun 18, 2013
My group is putting "marks" in Excel (2007) work papers & sometimes they may want to add additional marks to those previously added in a selected cell. What I have below actually works, but I just got my VBA book last week & there has to be a better way.
Specifically, I've saved the "target" off in the same worksheet (That can't be good.) and delete it when I'm done writing it back. Can I save the original characters virtually, or to the personal.xlsb.
Code:
Sub addMarkInCELL()
'
Dim charCount As Integer
Dim charStart As Integer
Dim rngTarget As String
charCount = ActiveCell.Characters.Count
[Code] ..........

Excel 2007.I have a list of postcodes (UK) which have different lengths of characters (including spaces) from 6-8, however our system seems to add additional spaces inbetween the postcode, so it could have upto 11/12 characters (inc spaces) Below is what could come out:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char)
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char)
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char)
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char)
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char)
What I need is a formula to ensure each postcode only has 8 characters by inserting spaces between if there's less than 8 char and trimming if there's more than 8 char
So from the above postcodes the desired results would be:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char) - This would be correct
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char) - Trim off 2 spaces from the middle
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char) - Insert 2 spaces in the middle

I need to insert a date modified column to an Excel 2007 workbook I am currently using. The columns range is from A to L, with about a hundred data points. However, I would like to have the date modified cell update only when there are changes to rows F through L, starting with row 3.
I need the code to still function if I add rows, and it would be great if it would also still run if I added columns, but that part is not necessary. I've gotten close by defining a cell name as myCol and using this code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Row < 3 Then Exit Sub
[Code].....

Using Excel from Office 2007, and WinXP Pro OS
I have a spreadsheet which contains 2 drop down pick lists in Field1 and Field2.
Code:
FIELD1 | FIELD2 | FIELD3
--------------------------------------------
In Cell A2, I have this set in Data > Data Validation:
Allow: List
Source: =CatList
If the user selects a value from the CatList range, then the drop-down options in Field2 are updated accordingly.
In Cell B2, I have this set in Data > Data Validation:
Allow: List
Source: =INDIRECT(A2)
The Ranges are as follows:
Code:
Cat1 | Cat2 | Cat3
---------------------------------------------
Cheese | Hat | Square
Trees | Cat | Circle
Bees | Sat | Triangle
Knees | Mat | Rectangle
Apologies | Bat | Octagon
I'd really like to be able to add a message into FIELD3, which is based on the value in Cat2
e.g. using pseudocode, something like:
If Field2 value = "Apologies" then put this message in Field3: "This requires approval from A"
elseif Field2 value = "Triangle" then put this message in Field3: "This requires approval from XYZ"
elseif Feidl2 value = "Bat" then put this message in Field3: "This does not require approval"
Basically this is for an access form, and I need to be able to add a feedback message to field3 based on what's in Field2.
I thought about using the INDIRECT option to add messages but I can't see how I'd do it. Maybe VB would do it, but I don't know it well enough.

Excel 2007
I have a few dozen pictures created when a macro runs. They all have unique names. I'd like to add comments to cells, where the cell.value decides which picture to pull. All the examples I've found online show how to do this if you have pictures saved on your hard drive by referencing the file path "c://mydocs/...blahblah/"
Is there a way to reference the pictures I've created/named with my macro?
Here's the snippet of code that creates the pictures and names them:
Code:
For i = 2 To Application.CountA(Sheets("Allocation").Rows(1))
Sheets("Allocation").Activate
Set rInput = Sheets("Allocation").Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(10, i))
sPicName = "_" & Sheets("Allocation").Cells(1, i) & "_"
sSheet = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(3, i)
dDate = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(5, i)
[Code] ......
Here are some examples that are close to what I'm looking for.

I'm using Excel 2007. I would prefer to stay away from the scripting side of the house if possible. This is basically a 3 day forcast weather chart. The top is the actual weather data, the bottom portion is a color coded reflection of how the weather affects various things.
This product is created in excel, but will be embedded into a powerpoint. It will be updated daily. Here is what I would like. I want the color chart at the bottom to update automatically based on the data I enter above. I have a grasp that I can update the color through conditional formatting, although im not exactly sure what that will look like with all of those cells.
I also figured out that I can insert the letters in those lower cells with something similar to " =IF(C6>90, "T", "") " which would put in a 'T' for Temperature when the temperature got above a certain degree.
I run into a problem when I have multiple factors affecting a single cell. For instance on the example in day 2 of my image. Personnel are affected by Temperate AND UV Index. How would I set up that cell to pull that information from both of those cells and display it accordingly? I would prefer the letters to stay separated by the comma, but I could live without that. The default cell color will be green, with the potential to be yellow or red. I left a few examples of possible situations on day 2 and 3.

I'm new to 2010 and can't work out the new conditional formatting! I need to be able to enter a letter in A1 and have E1, F1 and G1 automatically show a different letter in each cell (different coloured fonts in each cell as well).

Column A & B has a list of Supplier Part numbers and Buyer Part numbers as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HYEYDH/14
222222
[Code] ..........
Cell D2 is an open cell that any data can be entered into as a search term. What I am trying to do is search for a Supplier P/N that have the characters "H", "G" or "E" in it, so entering "HGE" into cell D2 would display the results into columns F & G as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HDGTEY/56
333333
I can easily do a formula for 1 character or a string of characters.
To complicate it further, if the search term has in this example has "YFF", I would like the same formula/code to workout that the result in F & G should show this time
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N

I am using the code below (Excel 2007) to delete and add back timesheets based on a list of names from the "Names" tab. In addition, I am making a "Table of Contents" with hyperlinks on a separate worksheet that will allow employees quick access to their timesheet without having to look at each tab. The code below works well if I want to delete and add back all the timesheet at one time but if we get a new employee in the middle of a pay period I have to use a single timesheet until the end of the pay period.
What I would like to know is, can the code below be modified so that when the code is run it reviews the list of names and only adds a new timesheet for that employee without deleting and adding back all the timesheets?

My excel version is 2007 and i am on WIN7 64bit
I have a workbook with VBA which was working fine earlier. Lately i have been getting
"Runtime error 1004" Select method of button class failed.
I am adding buttons dynamically in a loop in a sheet and what surprise me is , i go to debug mode when error pops up and it points to below line
MySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
but my code is running in a loop and i can see that atleast 20 buttons were added and it fails to select when it try to add this iteration. It is completely confusing me.
My entire below code is in a loop
maWrk.Cells(xIt1, yIt2).Select
mySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
Selection.OnAction = "callMe"
[Code].....
I also notice that when it fails, on select method .. the button was actually added to the sheet with caption/name as "Button 65536" but then fails to select it. What makes the select to fail after adding the button? Could there be anything special with Button 65536?
Is there any better way to code the adding button and setting action and name for excel 2007?
note before entering the loop i am deleting all the shapes with myShape.Delete which name matches "btRun"

Adding items to combobox at run time
Setup office 2007 win xp pro ie8
Further to my post relating to swaping jpgs
The code below scans from the column on the row of the worksheet till it finds a blank, this seems to work ok as I previously had a msgbox in that displayed the value of n once the loop finished
So I was hoping that the values in the columns on that row would be added to the combobox but for some reason I get a typing missmatch error.
Code:
Dim n As Integer
n = 1
Do While LValue6 "" 'find out how many alternatives there are
LValue6 = FoundISBN.Offset(0, 32 + n).Value
n = n + 1
DataInput.ComboBox1(n) = LValue6 - I was hoping that the value in the cell was added to the combobox
Loop

I have a Excel 2007 spreadsheet of part numbers and quantities sold. In the spreadsheet we have similar part numbers, but my sumif command is adding these together. the parts are :
0124225031
R124225031
My column of part numbers is formatted as text
My formula is this =SUMIF(Sheet1!H:H,A16,Sheet1!Q:Q) where H is the part number and Q is the quanity
I tried adding a format command in the sumif command, but it returned a 0. =SUMIF(Sheet1!H:H,format(A16,"0"),Sheet1!Q:Q)
better formula and why is excel adding different part numbers together?

I am trying to extract values from a text string and add them up in Excel 2007. So far i have been successful in extracting the value out of the text string like this - =MID(I6,AD6,3) where AD6 holds the position number in the text string to start from. So it's working OK for one row but i need to do the same thing on multiple rows where the text string can be in different columns and I'd like it to automatically pick up the non-blank cell.
each row only has one column with text in it and the value i need to extract is always after "$". this is a working spreadsheet so the text string could move from column to column over time and I'd like my formula to be able to detect which column to read from. I then need to add up all the values from each row.

I currently have the following Macro for one of my many checkboxes in 2007 Excel:
[Code] .....
It works perfectly until additional rows are added/deleted before the indicated rows in the code (It changes the number sequence in the workbook). The number sequence stays the same in the code which means I am now hiding rows either before (delete rows) or after (insert rows) the intended rows I want to be hidden. Is there a way to change the above code to remain with the assigned rows regardless of the adding/deleting of rows before it?

i have a macro that copies info from cell in row A and uses that info to name the whole row, now if the name has a space between the words it uses _ (underscore) substition so i don't get an error (when row name is defined - you can't use any special characters or spaces) i was wondering if anyone can help me to add "-" besides the space
here is the macro
Sub Macro1()
Dim a As Long
For a = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Cells(a, 100) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Cells(a, 1), " ", "_")
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Cells(a, 100), RefersToR1C1:="=Sheet1!R" & a

How can I view hidden characters inside an excel cell. I have an excel file that I receive from our vendors. After verifying the data, I save the file as a tab delimited .txt format. When I open the .txt file I see some data with " " at both ends. i.e. "800 North Ave. Suite A". The thing is I don't see the " " in excel. This tells me that these are non-printing characters.
