We're setting up a test for candidates in an Excel 2010 workbook and want to get a sense of their native ability to spell. We'd like to disable spell check for the entire workbook. I've looked in Options>Proofing, even tried removing the dictionary, but haven't found a way to completely disable spell check from working. Is it possible to achieve? We'd settle for being able to disable spelling within a textbox.

However, when you perform this manually (as in from the toolbar), the spell-check accepts the items as you put in the text bar at the top if you change it.
When doing it via the VBA macro code, it will not accept the user amended-suggestions unless you highlight the (top) text bar area/row/cell to get it to accept some things - otherwise it just accepts the suggestion the checker gives n the section below - not the text you have amended.

I have a set of text boxes in my sheet. I was wondering if there is a way to perform a spell check on the textboxes only (not the cells in the worksheet).

getting a function working within Excel 2010. What I'm trying to do is to first look in a specific directory and loop through each foldername then check to see if the foldername exists in column B of my worksheet. If the foldername exists then check Column E of the same row for a specific value ("assigned") and then make sure column F of the same row has no picture inside the cell. If those three things exist (column B foldername and column E "assigned" and no picture in column F), then add a picture to column F of the same row as the foldername with a hyperlink to a filename of "notes.one" in that specific folder. Then just loop through each foldername in the specific directory until all foldernames have been checked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI imported a text file into excel 2013, and the format for the date column was M/D/Y. Like this:
Excel Forum 1.xlsx
And then I copied those date and pasted them onto this Excel file:
Excel Forum 2.xlsb
And as you see there seems to be a problem with the dates. So I formatted the cells to also have the M/D/Y format and this is what happened.
As you see the original dates are transformed to something completely different.
I need to make a excel costing model to calculate various products prices. I am using Excel 2010.
I have many products and do not need all of them displaying at the same time, therefor I inserted a Checkbox (ActiveX Control) that hides my columns that I do not need. I did that by inserting the following and it works fine :
[Code].....
The problem is I now need to lock certain cells so that they can remain fixed and the recipe cannot change.
Once locked my checkbox no longer works and I get the following error :
"Run-time error '1004': Unable to set hidden property of the range class"...

I have a sheet for each month. lets take September 2013
A Column with 200 Servers (A1:A200) on the Intranet listed as server-1/, Server-2/ Server-3 ... Server-200/
Each Server lists a location of a file for each day (31 columns per row)
I am trying to check for the existence of the files on each server (The Cells contain the URL and File Name in Range B2:AF201) starting with server-1 check the URL in B2 if it exists, go to C2, Continue with that row until the file check is False (The Page will show a 404 error) if not found delete cell url and continue. do this for all 200 rows
Looking forward VBA coding for:
If input is entered into column C (range C2:C100), then row cells for columns D, E ,F, H or I must NOT be blank upon save.
Could be that one or more of these row cells are left blank by mistake.

I have a problem regarding buttons.I have placed buttons on my excel sheet with a regular spacing between them.These buttons are placed dynamically on the sheet and I don't know what will be their names as user can add as many as they like.Now the problem is suppose there are two buttons in the range "A1:d8" and say now i delete the this range (using range("A1:d8").entirerow.delete) then buttons do not get completely deleted .A very thin line size button still remains on the sheet.
How to remove the buttons completely......
I've compiled code to take responses from a user form and insert them into a spreadsheet line by line using
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
to find the last used row and move down to the next row to insert new data.
I've just realised though testing, that I've allowed users to skip putting an answer in the first box which writes to the sheet and so I can inadvertantly overwrite answers using the code above.
How do I modify my code to look for the next 'completely blank' row and start to fill new data?
Is there some vba code that will completly remove all rows after a certain date in A column, the date is in B2. Dates are listed in A column.
When i say completely remove i mean delete, clear colours, remove borders,etc etc

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to disable all Excel functions? not as in disable calculation, but actually make Excel's standard functions not available in a workbook.
My reason for wondering if this is possible is that I would like to write UDFs that perform special actions in addition to the typical Excel functions, but give them the same name as their Excel counterparts... essentially create polymorphisms / overloaded Excel functions.
I'm actually trying to make a game in Excel, coded in VBS (I know, this is crazy ), and I use the API "GetAsyncKeyState" in order to catch what keys are pressed :
Code:
Public Const VK_UP = &H26
Public Const VK_DOWN = &H28
Public Const VK_LEFT = &H25
Public Const VK_RIGHT = &H27
Public Const VK_DELETE = &H2E
Set oDyn = CreateObject("DynamicWrapper")
[Code] ........
It works perfectly, except when the Excel window is activated (i.e. foreground) : GetAsyncKeyState doesn't catch keys anymore. Excel seems to keep it for himself, and don't share it with the System...
I already tried to disable the Excel DataEntryMode, but my problem's still here... Is there a way to disable this Excel's behaviour, or making GetAsyncKeyState work better ?
I need to disable 'save as' in an excel file. I have read some previous topics but I cant understand it. Is there anyone who can explain it to me as detailed as possible?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I adapt code so that it creates a sumif formula for Values in Column E. my current code is: HTML
Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUMIF(E:" & Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Address & ",""<0"",E:" & Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Address & ")"
In short, if a value in Column E is < 0, then sum the amount in Column E, and this should give a total of all the negative numbers in column E, but the range parameters seem completely off in my sequence.
