Excel 2007 :: Will Not Enter Design Mode?

Mar 17, 2014

I am a happy user of Office 2007 and a casual coder. I am familiar with most of the basics of coding and enabling macos. However today, when I attempted to add some code to a workbook, I noticed that Excel would not actually enter design mode. Even though the design mode button will toggle and stay in the "on" mode, I cannot access VB property panel for any controls, even standard contols. Also, I am forced to CTRL-CLICK objects to select them and then am only presented with standard "Format Control" option, not object properties.

One other odd sympton... I can use the macro recorder to add code to a control (a checkbox for example), but when I try to manually add a line of code referencing that object (using the default name), the VB editor does not recognize the object. For example the IDE would not recognize and code a line for the "checked" property of a checkbox control when I check the box while in macro record mode.

These symptoms suggest to me that there is something wrong with the design mode "switch".

This all used to work fine, but it's been a while and many MS updates to my Windows 7/64 machine (now about 4 years old).

Enter Spreadsheet In Design Mode

Jun 11, 2009

I've created a spreadsheet that has a number of command buttons acting as hyperlinks navigating to other worksheets within the workbook and other files. The buttons only function when in design mode and no matter what I try the document will not open in design mode. For ease of use I wanted to avoid training people on how to go into design mode, anyone aware of a work around?

Can't Exit Design Mode Because - Error Msg

Nov 5, 2008

I have a production report card spreadsheet with numerous checkboxes. Originally I also had text boxes for user input - which I have since removed all of and simply unlocked cells for user input (I protect the spreadsheet). My problem is that now that I have removed ALL of the textboxes - I get the error message "Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox3' can not be created." everytime I go to lock the spreadsheet after tweeking or upon opening of the file. I also cannot use the checkboxes now because I am stuck in design mode.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this...or better yet...how to stop the error msg altogether? I googled and no answers...some theories that it was a bug with excel2003...but I find it hard to believe as I found posts for the same message of users of WORD2003...so I am thinking it might be VBA related?

Macros Are Running In Design Mode?

Apr 8, 2012

I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.

I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.

Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?

Excel 2007 :: Unable To Enter Any Data In Spreadsheet?

Apr 19, 2008

Very simple Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It consist of four columns with either numeric or alpha data in the. No formulas, no macros etc...

She emailed the spreadsheet to me and it works fine, I can enter data without problems. Whenever she tries to use it she just can't enter any data. She clicks in a cell and it highlights but she doesn't get a cursor and can't enter data. If she tries to click in the area underneath the toolbar to enter data she also does not get a cursor!! It used to work just fine for her but has suddenly stopped!

Design Spreadsheet In 2007 For Use On Earlier Versions

Jul 17, 2009

Compatibility mode, in 2007, is frustrating me like crazy. I thought it was supposed to 'limit' functionality to what was in 2003. But what it seems to be doing is letting me use features that only work in 2007and then tell me when I save that 'hey, these won't work after you save'. Ugh! I can't even pick a highlight color without getting a warning and wondering what it will look like to 2003 users!

Is there a 'theme' or anything that will truly limit the features I use to those available to 2003 users?

Make 2007 Default Into Compatability Mode

Jul 29, 2009

1. Is it possible to have two versions of excel installed on the same PC and would this cause any issues? This would be my preffered approach as it would enable me to do the haevy number crunching in 2007, but use 2000 for the everyday spreadsheets that I would have to share with my collegues.
2. Can you make 2007 default into compatability mode so that I wouldnt accidentaly create a spreadsheet that other couldn't use.

Automate Build Of Design Matrix In MS Excel

Jun 15, 2014

A typical Design Matrix is shown in the attached Workbook. There are two domains of Merged Cells that make up the Headings of the Matrix; FRs (Functional Requirements) and DPs (Design Parameters). Given a Hierarchical List of FRs specified by the User, the User would like Excel to bulild the Matrix Hierarchy of FRs automatically (going down the Worksheet). The DP Hierarchy is the same hierarchy, except transposed and reflected across the Worksheet. The attached Workbook has up to seven (7) levels, but the ability to go create up to 10 levels is desired.

IF Function - Design Generator In Excel That Generates Algebraic Expressions

Feb 27, 2013

I am trying to design a generator in excel that generates algebraic expressions.

For example

In cell B4 the formula is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)
In cells C4:29 I have letters a - z listed in a column one letter per cell.

In a separate cell from which excel reads is the formula:

=B4&CHOOSE((RANDBETWEEN(1,26)),$C$4,$C$5,$C$7,$C$6,$C$8,$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$C$12,$C$13,$C$14,
$C$15,$C$16,$C$17,$C$18,$C$19,$C$20,$C$21,$C$22,$C$23,$C$24,$C$25,$C$26,$C$27,$C$28,$C$29)

For example one possible result would be 3f.

However if the result was 1m, in a separate cell I want excel to realise that B4=1 and then display it as m.

I've attached the spreadsheet as well : algebra.xlsx‎

Excel 2013 :: Enter Multiple Arguments In IF Formula

Aug 21, 2013

I need entering multiple arguments in an IF formula in Excel 2013. Here is the formula with just 1 argument.

=IF(SUM($G$4:G15)>3000,G15*0.8,0)

I need to combine it with the following.........

=IF(SUM($G$4:G15)>10000,sum($G$4:G15)-G15,0)

So to say, if the sum totals more than 3000 but less than 10000, then I want the cell value (G15) multiplied by 80% (.80). if it is greater than 10000, i want the sum minus 10000. If both arguments are false (sum totals less than 3000) then the value placed should be 0.
