Excel 2007 :: Macro To Insert A Text Box Auto-sized To Fit A Cell?
Nov 30, 2011
I am trying to write a Macro that will insert a Text Box that auto-fits the shape of a cell to hide its content. Once finished, the Macro will need to lock the cell and the text box so the contents of the cell are hidden. The idea is that I want to share a spreadsheet with someone but want to hide individual cells for various reason.
Sheet1A1SAMPLE DATA2sample3sample4HIDDEN5sampleExcel 2007
I tried to record a macro as a starting point but it recorded nothing. I searched around and it seems to be an issue without a solution.
I could obviously change the formatting and the contents of the cell but the idea is to preserve the contents if possible.

In Excel 2007.
I have a macro that is set to clear a range of cells. If I make a change to the worksheet (such as adding a column) that moves those cells in the worksheet, the worksheet formulas update, but the macro cell references do not. How can I make my macro update in accordance with changes in the worksheet?

I'd like to know if it's possible (Excel 2007) to insert a function/button into a cell, which when clicked, will paste whatever is on the clipboard?
You can see a screenshot of my document here, and I'd like to insert a paste funtion in the red circle. Is it possible?

Assume I have a cell M24 with a formula like
=M10 + $H24 - $I24*0.35
As you can see B10 is a fix reference (due to omitted $) which should NOT be auto-adjusted but be kept.
Now I want to copy the formular to lots of cells below cell M24. therefore I mark cell M24 and click copy in context menu.
Then I drag/expand the blinking cell border to lets say the 20 cells below. As I result I expect e.g. in cell M25 a formula like
=M10 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
Unfortunately I got
=M11 + $H25 - $I25*0.35
So the fix reference is adjusted as well.
How can I tell Excel 2007 to NOT auto-adjust fix references in formulas?

Whenever she clicks on a cell, the cell to the right of it is also selected. When she tries using tab to move to a new cell, she can only move between the two selected cells. Same with using the enter key. As such, it is extremely difficult for her to modify only one cell, since she always has two selected.
The F8 key, as well as Ctrl+F8. However, pressing the F8 key only adds more cells to the autoselection, and Ctrl+F8 allows her to select one cell, but also highlights the cells around it, and when we tried to select other cells, every cell we clicked stayed highlighted.
Additionally, sometimes when she clicks a cell, it will just select that one cell. Click it again, and the problem is back. I haven't been able to determine any patterns to this behavior, and I know there is no problem with the input (the keyboard and mouse are standard-issue in our lab, and we keep them well maintained).

I'm creating a configuration tool for instrumentation that has several options. Many of these options are dependent on one another. To summarize, I need to:
*Conditionally lock cells (and populate with "N/A") OR allow selection from drop down list - the list exists, it's the locking and auto-population I'm struggling with
Example: If A1 = No, then B1 = "N/A" and is locked, else allow selection from drop down list in B1

I need a VBA code to create a Text file which should be in the form of DML (my scenario is to get Insert Statements for the Data available in the Excel) from Excel Sheet. And this has to be done by assigning a macro to command button where by clicking on it the DML text file should be generated. Even the syntax for the scenario will do.

I am struggling with doing a sort, of a group of alpha characters within a cell (Excel 2007). My data was exported from Oracle 8 as a varchar2 and consists of letters.
Example of what I have
BAC
GHL
DFE
MEG
Example of what I want
ABC
GHL
DEF
EGM
All I could find were these complex looking solutions involving cursors, plsql, etc. I'm hoping there's a simple solution, maybe within Excel. I've tried different formatting, made sure no other characters were sharing the cells, and tried typing fresh data into a cell (instead of the exported data).

Excel 2007 Textbox changes LinkedCell Cell format to Text. If I do a VLOOKUP on that cell it fails and I have to "Convert to number".
My application is to enter a ZIPCODE into ZIP textbox, then for CITY and STATE to autofill using VLOOKUP in both CITY and STATE cells.

My set up win xp pro office 2007. Object is to save the text from a given cell to drive C naming the file with the value in another cell. E.g.
Contents of cell ("AA5") is a string and the content of ("D5") is a number
I have tried altering the code posted which i found on the forum, it works fine for the purpose as it was indented e.g. save the workbook and in my case saves it as the value in cell D5.
I guess I need to use some form of object to pass to the save as method but my knowledge of this is somewhat limited in addition as the is a possibility of either the cell being empty and the file name existing on the C drive, I need to disable the windows warnings and just go ahead and save it over writing what is on the C drive is of no importance as it will be the same data anyway, I can wrap the save in a "if Len ( AA5)= 0" to stop it trying to save if the cell if empty it the save the text string i am having problems with:
Option Explicit
Sub SaveAsExample()
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "C:"
FName = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName
End Sub

I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet with one text based column containing some large text data. I want to be able to have the text in this cell reduced to show certain fixed number of lines(maybe 2) and where the text cuts off, display an ellipsis which indicates that there is more text. The user should be able to see the full text when that particular cell is double clicked.
This will allow my rows to be of uniform size still allowing the user to look at the full text when double clicked and an ellipsis as an indication to the user that there is more text than what is displayed.

I'm trying to write a macro similar to the one found here: here:http://www.techonthenet.com/excel/macros/checkbox.php.
Rather then use a textbox, I would like the cell to display the date when text is inserted in the cell to the left.
ie. I insert text (the letter 'a') in cell E11, and the date appears in cell F11.
I would also like the macro to do this for a range of cells ie. for E11 to F21, then from G11 to H21, then from I11 to J21, all the way to column IV.

I have 4 rows that are on a "Resource" sheet need to be inserted into about 150 different variable locations across 20 different sheets. Here is the code I have so far the will copy it to one specific location (see below). I need making the macro insert these copied cells to which ever cell I currently have active. I'm still really new at VB programming so this probably something really simple to solve.

I recently installed Excel 2007, and have shared others' joy in searching for things on the ribbon. I tried to record a macro to insert an autoshape. Excel creates the macro, but drawing the autoshape is not recorded. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious ...

I need to insert a drop down box into my spreadsheet, and depending on the option selected, the formula used to calculate the value into another cell changes. How do I implement this in Excel 2007?
To put this in context, I need a list of acids in cell C3. Depending on the acid selected, the formula used to calculate acid concentration in another cell (D3) changes. I need a way to implement this.

I am using Excel 2007. I would like to be able to type "dlta" followed by a space and have autocorrect change it to the symbol for Delta (a triangle). I got it to work in Word because I could right click and paste the symbol in the autocorrect dialogue box. Excel won't let me do that. I also tried typing Alt+68 because I believe that is the code for the symbol I want but all I get is a "D".

Excel 2007.
Insert - Object allows me to insert a object (display as icon is used). Is it also possible to insert multiple objects in one go? Via this option I can always only select 1 object.

with the following: The VBA macro I am using, is derived from the excellent "Table of Contents" macro written by Erik Van Geit, a few years ago.
I have a workbook (in Excel 2007, Windows XP) with an Index sheet and 200 other sheets (called ScreenShot1 to ScreenShot200). Each of these 200 sheets has had an image pasted in the top left corner.
At present, using the macro below, a hyperlink is placed in cell A1 on each of these 200 sheets (it's behind the image) that links to cell M1 on the Index sheet. What I would like this macro to do is make each image the hyperlink back to cell M1 on the Index sheet. Please note that the images are not named.
VBA code below,
Sub create_TOC()
Dim i As Integer
Dim msg As String
Dim fc_order As Range
Dim sht As Object
'**** EDIT the following lines ****
Const TOC = "Table of Contents"
Const Index = "Index"
Const CellLink = "A1"
'**** END EDIT ****
[Code]....

I have a simple spreadsheet of an inventory. Each row on this spreadsheet represents the data related to an item. I would like for a user to be able to INPUT a serial number via a userform. Then, I would like for the program to OUTPUT some information about that particular item (a few cells that should be on the same row as the serial number).
I attached an image diagram that may better represent what I am trying to do.

I am looking for a way of allowing users to edit the existing cells at their will, but simultaneously disabling the option to insert/ delete columns or rows.
By enabling Sheet Protection, I cannot find a way to do it. Can I?
I am on MS Excel 2007 by the way.
I found the way, just unlock all cells in Format Cells, Protection Tab. Then Protect sheet and de-select what you want to disable.

I have a form that collects four pieces of information from the user and places each into columns A, B, C, D on a sheet. I would like to automatically add an option button to column E so that a user could select it and then click a control button to delete the corresponding row.
Is this possible or is there maybe a better way to do this in Excel 2007.

I am currently using MS Excel 2007. Is there a way in VBA to automatically insert missing columns based on a defined series or range of values?
For example, we have a report that displays columns of: Year 2004 to Year 2012 per column (9 columns in total).
Sometimes, it displays missing a year or years (thus; our report has less columns). For example, it only shows 2008 to 2012 (missing 2004 to 2007). At times, it misses some years in between. What we do is manually add those missing years by manually inserting columns then inputting the missing year as their column headers.
Is it posisble for VBA to check if the columns contain all of the defined Year range (for example, you've initially defined: Year 2004 to Year 2012)? Afterwards, all missing columns are automoatically inserted (in chronological order or based on your defined values or range).
