Excel 2010 :: Generating Custom Timeline On Separate Tab?
Jan 1, 2014
I'm trying to get Excel 2010 to automatically generate a custom timeline in a separate tab using data I enter in a different tab. In the attached example, the data in the first tab ("daily log") tracks the number of trucks parked at a certain yard by the state they are registered in, their company, and their ID number. I would like Excel to automatically generate the timeline I've created by hand in the second tab ("Timeline (desired outcome)"). I need a formula that returns a "1" if several conditions are met (see comments in example) and a " " if those conditions are not met. I played around with IF(AND...) functions, but I've never used them before and couldn't make them work. There are a few complicating factors: there aren't a consistent number of trucks at the yard per day, and some trucks changed their ID numbers during the data period. I use a blank row, highlighted in dark grey, to visually differentiate days. This row can be filtered out with the "null" column.
In cell 'I6' if I enter the text "Balance" I would like it to display as "Actual" but if any other text is entered I would like it to display the text entered. How to do this using custom cell formatting. (Currently on Excel 2010).
I currently have an excel workbook (2010) in which I created a custom ribbon and assigned several different macros to the buttons.
Long story short, I will be saving several variations of this workbook every so often when I get new data.
The problem is that if I change the name of the file (Save as or Rename), the custom ribbon buttons no longer work. When I assigned the macros to the ribbon buttons, the macros were absolutely assigned.
Is it possible to assign relative macros to custom ribbons?
From research I have done, it appears that custom ribbons cannot be created using VBA. Is this still true?
I don't have Adobe Acrobat (just the reader) and I have Excel 2010.
I'd like a macro to do the following:
Take two ranges from a single sheet. Print them to the same PDF with different header/footers using the built-in Excel PDF generator (File->Save & Send->Create PDF/XPS Document).
How can I do this? I already have a macro which exports the current sheet to a PDF, but I'm looking to export two ranges with difference header/footers to a single PDF.
Below is my current macro:
Sub PrintActiveSheetToPDF()
Dim strFileName As String, strDir As String, strFullPath As String Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
I have a large amount of data that is from an events file. When I enter it into excel, it almost maxes out the row count (excel 2010) The data basically lists Event, Date/Timestamp, Call ID, and a few other details. Im trying to get a total of specific events and if they were successful or not, so the other columns arent of concern. For instance, there is an event called searchbyphone, a later row in the data will include searchresult found or notfound. The only way to pair these up is by the ID number which is unique per call.
So in the example below, ID 123-45-789a was a search by phone and successful (found). The Date/Time field is down to milisecond. If this were just adding up all the various events and then totalling the searchresult found/notfound, it would be simpler. However, Im only interested in certain events and found/notfound is used for many other events.
Using the data below, what is the best way to pull out an event (say the total number of searchby phone) and then know how many of those were found and not found (when the information needed is on 2 seperate rows and only the ID would be the same?)
To through a wrench into it, there can be several events with the same ID becasue the ID is unique to a call - a caller can search by a few variables. There will be the same amount of found/notfounds though with that ID. (meaning as a caller, I can do a few searches and all of these will be in the event file with the same ID) In this case, the number of requests (events) will match the number of results (found/not found).
What Im trying to accomplish is to get a total of searchbyphone found and not found, So in this example I would have searchbyphone found = 1 and searchbyphone notfound = 0.
ID Event Date/Timestamp
123-45-789a searchbyphone 10/7/2013 12:52:38
987-65-432b searchbycity 10/7/2013 12:52:39
123-45-789a searchresult.found 10/7/2013 12:52:41
874-35-123c searchbyzip 10/7/2013 12:52:42
987-65-432b searchresult.not found 10/7/2013 12:52:47
I have four cells c1 thru c4. The SUM of these cells must equal 1. I want to display an error message "sum of cells not equal to 1.0" but only when data has been entered in all four cells.
For instance =SUM(C1:C4, "<>1") should display the error message. Is there a way to write the formula with an IF statement and still use data validation with error message box?
Assumptions: -Will ignore blanks -Error message "Sum of cells are not equal to 1.0" until values in all four cells have been entered, not after a value is entered in a cell. (validate expression after all four cells have values or blank)
Scenarios: c1 = .25, c2 is blank, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays c1 = .25, c2 = .25, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays c1 = .25, c2 = .30, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 FALSE error message should display after value is entered in c4 etc
What I don't want is for the error message box to display after .25 is entered in c1 because the user is still in the process of adding values. Can this be done using Data Validation in Excel 2010?
We are in the process of switching from running Excel 2007 under Windows XP to running Excel 2010 under Windows 7. Most of my Excel reports are not having any issues. However, I have several macros that cause Excel to crash when they go to save the file. Through trial & error, I have found that the problem seems to occur after deleting custom lists that were created earlier in the macro. Here's the pertinent code:
' Declare Variables Dim VarListNum1 Dim VarListNum2 Dim VarListNum3
[Code]....
When I execute the macro line-by-line, it is creating & deleting the custom lists as expected. However, if I try to save the file after any of the custom lists have been created, Excel crashes. Has something changed in Excel 2010?
I am using Excel 2010 and need to get the totals for each month transfered to a separate sheet. For example;
One sheet is called Outgoings (which has all the receipts entered chronologically in rows and apportioned in the columns) and the other sheet tracks the cost per month of each column.
Have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet with 902 email addresses in one column, and 927 email addresses in other column, sorted in alphabetical order.
Overview: Organization database has 902 Members (some have 2 email addresses subscribed to listserv) and Organizational Listserv which has all 927 (Difference is numbers are some members have 2 email addresses subscribed) BUT 902 of emails should be the same
Objective to compare Listserv Members 927 with Database Members 902. I am trying to isolate the email addresses which do NOT exist in Listserv Column, or who do not exist in Database Column for Audit purposes. All Members from the Database column should be subscribed or entered into the Listserv column.
If it's a perfect world the 902 email addresses will all be exactly the same as 902 out of the 927 Listserv email addresses. Trying to highlight or sort and put identical email addresses on same line or using Conditionally formatting? Highlight Cell Rules/Duplicate cell rules Even when same email addresses are on the same row conditional formatting does not recognize them.
Column 1 has 1200-1209,1300-1350,1523-1563 Column 2 has 1400-1409,1600-1650,1823-1863
I would like to take the range of e.g. 1200-1209 and have excel put 1200 1201 1202 1203 1204 1205 1206 1207 1208 1209 into separate adjacent cells for me. And be able to do this for each column/cell of data I have like this.
I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that I am using to save several numbers all in the same column. These numbers can range from the several thousands up to billions. The formatting I am using for these numbers is Number (using 1000s separator).

I am also using the spreadsheet to generate a text string for each of the numbers. I don't want the text string to show the number as it is, I want to shorten the number by only showing the first few digits followed by a "B" for billion, "M" for million, or "K" for thousand. For example, in the text string I want to show 1,600,000 as 1.6B.
In order to shorten the number I use the cell in the column to the right of each number. This cell uses the following custom formatting (which I found by doing a Google search): [>999999999.999]#.0,,,"B";[>999999.999]#,,"M";#,"K";
custom_format.png
As you can see the formatting is quite complex (at least for me it is) but it does what I want it to do.
Here is a screenshot of what the original and custom formatted cells look like:
custom_formatted_cells.png
As you can see the custom formatting works and does exactly what I wan
The next column (after the custom formatted number) is where I put the generated text string for each of the numbers. As I stated above, I want the generated text to use the shortened version of the number (e.g. 1.6B).
To generate the text I use the CONCATENATE function with a reference to the cell containing the shortened number as one of the arguments. For example:
CONCATENATE("SOME STRING ", B1)
Where B1 is the custom formatted cell.
The problem I am running into is, the text that gets generated doesn't show the shortened format of the number, it shows the full number. Here is a screenshot demonstrating what is happening:
concatenate_formula.png
As you can see the generated text is "SOME STRING 1600000000". This is not what I want. I want the generated text to be "SOME STRING 1.6B".
I think I understand what's going on. When the CONCATENATE function references a cell it takes the actual value of the cell and ignores any formatting. (I suppose formatting is just the way you see the data, not how underlying functions receive the data.)
My question is, how can I re-write the CONCATENATE function (or use another function, etc. available to me) to use the formatted version of the cell?
*UPDATE* I have attached my spreadsheet as an attachment to this post (tackyjan_excelforums.xlsx). Please note that it was created and saved using Excel 2010.
I'm a fan of the Excel 2010 table styles, but can't figure one thing out. When I create a table in excel (Ctrl+T), I like to reformat it with a new defined style. When I save the style, I can use it while I'm in that instance of excel, but when I close and reopen excel, the style is gone. How to save the custom formats to they are always available?
I have a spread sheet which totals the amounts in 2 columns D and E, which are pounds and pence. The formulas for each one are:
Pounds
=SUM(D3:D8)+ROUNDDOWN((SUM(E3:E8)/100),0)
Pence
=MOD(SUM(E3:E8),100)
These work very well and give me the correct figures.
What I would like to do is to add up the values of each row based on the criteria of column C and have just one value in ONE cell (as shown on lines 13 & 14), so for instance:
When added together the values of rows 3,4 & 6 are 7.25 (based on a value of "W")When added together the values of rows 7 & 8 are 5.00 (based on a value of "F")
I have tried to show this as an example in the image below:
I have a spreadsheet where users can enter a time using the 24 hour clock - these times are random and can be anything within the 24 hour period.
I want to create a chart or graph that has a timeline of 24 hours, (in multiples of 1 hour starting at 07:00 and going right through to 06:00), and I need the times entered by the users to appear on the chart to give an overview of when these incidents are happening most.
I was thinking that the cluster or scatter chart might work but I can't figure it out. I don't actually need both X and Y Axis, just a timeline - is it possible?
I'm attempting to chart data obtained from our phone system to see when users are logged in/on rest.
I'm using Excel 2007.
The data we extract has: person | status | start | finish | duration
Status is either "login" or "rest" Start/finish is time (h:mm) Duration is a formula (h:mm, finish - start)
I want to have a stacked bar chart that shows when a person was logged in/on rest; one bar for each person.
x-axis: person y-axis: time (8am - 6pm) legend: status
The problem I'm encountering is that each person logs in and out multiple times throughout the day (therefore, has multiple lines to their name in the data), and I can't get this information to appear on a single bar for each person.
I've sorted the data into a pivot table which gives me the information I want, but how to get the chart.
Row labels a. Person b. status c. start
Values Min of duration
Ideally, I would like to avoid using a Gantt chart within cells (as it would involve vlookup/if statements), but am beginning to think that's my only option...
How to use conditional formatting in Excel 2007 (). I'm creating a spreadsheet to track my group's timeline for completing strategy meetings with our customers. When we have a meeting, I will enter the date of that meeting in a specific cell. In a successive column(s), I'd like for a cell(s) to turn a specific color based on the length of time from the last meeting (or if there is no date for a meeting entered - i.e. no initial meeting has been set).
I have a spreadsheet that has a command button which generates an email in outlook express, which until today was 100% fine no problems at all.
However I now need it to generate an email (with the email address and subhject line completed) but not to send it - I've tried everythign I can think of but with no joy
Code below:
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click() If Range("I88") = 1 Then MsgBox "You have not completed all the details.", vbCritical Else
I have a custom data entry form which is working fine. The form completes customer data for reviewing at a later date. I have now been asked to change it so it will seperate the data in to customer's who require some documents sent out and some that dont.
Is it possible to have a combobox on the form and if the options on the combobox are Yes and No (original), when either option is selected the data will complete on to a seperate sheet for cases with documents required or documents not required?
The attached file "Temp.xlsm" has been provided to me. I need to generate two files from it - 1) csv 2) a text file in a certain format. It should basically look liked the attached file "InFile.txt" which is an input file for a modelling tool. The arrays and struct strings need to be within brackets and it only contains inputs. Outputs don't need to be generated.
With the code in "Temp.xlsm" so far I have been able to generate attached file "Temp.txt". The only missing bit is the formatting of arrays and structures.
Suppose there is an existing ms excel file. There are some data inside, taking 5 columns. Here is what I want to do:
I want the excel file to automatically generate a new column, the 6th, when the file is opened, say double-clicked.I want the 6th column do some summation based on the indexing/flag information int he 4th column, and the values from 5th column. For example: Suppose 4th column has binary entries (1 or 0). If the entry is 1, then pick the entry in the same row in 5th column, and do the summation for all this kind of values (values in 5th column with a 1 flag in 4th column)
I just got into the world of PowerPivot, Excel 2013 and Pivot Tables and am in the process of creating a Dashboard which I will then be uploading to SharePoint 2013.
On top of page I added the new timeline filter which I've linked to my pivot charts. Now what I would like to do, is create an additional pivot chart which looks at whatever date range has been used in the timeline filter and subtract 5 years from that. So, when I select a date range of November 2013 - December 2013 in timeline filter, the additional pivot chart will show the details for November 2008 - December 2013. This is where I get stuck.
I'm using two SSAS cubes which I'm combining together in PowerPivot and then display in Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts.
I have a workbook with five sheets. One sheet is the Master and then one sheet each for four organizations. Each organization will populate data for their own sheet and I want Excel to automatically populate the Master with the info from each individual sheet.
I tried using and modifying the vba from this post [URL]). My workbook varies from the original in that the first seven rows are header rows so the first cell to be edited in each sheet is A8, I have 38 columns instead of 10, and I am using Excel 2013 instead of Excel 2003.
I figured out that I needed to change the vba to look like this to start copying from the first cell (A8) and to populate the master:
This seems to work, but until the first cell (A8) is populated in the organizations' sheets, it messes up the prior row on the Master (Row 7).
I've also noticed that undo becomes unavailable when switching between sheets and also copy/cut & paste between sheets doesn't work so I can't correct the way the script messes up the format initially (this I presume is due to the Copy Destination in the vba?).
What would be the VBA code to put a border line on a row that that would separate the data that is due before today, from the data that is due after today?
This is a big data set, I have a loop that will do it, but it takes forever. Is there some way to do it faster with a filter, or conditional formatting, within VBA?
Example today is 8/22/09.
Would need a border line that would look like this...
I am trying to send bulk emails from my excel 2010 - however I am getting a POP UP. find the screen shot in the enclosed word document So every time a new mail is sent from excel we need to press the button allow Is there a way where I can turn off this warning.
I have sheet in which cell A1 contain value in alphanumeric format like D815327985.
Cell B1 contain time as 21:00hrs and cell C1 as 21:03 hrs.
cell C1 has formula B1+30/1440 which give me time 21:30.
I am looking for macro or formula which would pop up or give red colour when cell C1 reach at 21:20 hrs.
To make it easy, i would like to explain my problem in a simple way because from longtime i am not getting any satisfactory reply from message board.
I have 1 ticket number that is D815327985 in Cell A1.
Once i received this ticket i enter the current time in Cell B1. (I have taken time here 21:00 hrs for more convieniance).
Cell C1 formula give me the timeline that is within how much time i have to give follow up on this ticket.
I want formula or macro for C1 cell which would pop up or gives red colour when its reach to 20 min time of B1 cell.
Find the data which entered in my sheet
A1 D815327985 B1 21:00 C1 21:30 (here is formula B1+30/1440) (And i want here is this cell would get red colour or pop up when its reach to time 21:20 hrs)
I have numerous sheets i am working with as schedules , would it be possible to create a timeline that would show you where you currently are (time of day ) just a simple line or similar that stands out , my times in Row 4 are split into 6 hour intervals (06:00,12:00,18:00,00:00) with the date above in Row 3
