In the toolbar there's a section titled "Number" which allows you to change cell formats with selections named General, Number, Accounting, Date, Time, etc. I want to permanently change some of their default formats.
For instance, currently when I select Number the default is -4000.00. I want to PERMANENTLY change its default to (4,000.00). How do I do this?
I have an upholstery business and I have created a workbook containing multiple sheets (proposal, invoice, sales order log, etc.. ) Following, I have saved it in Template format, which I open and save by order number somewhere else. The issue is, I don't know how to track what the last order number I used was....
Is there anything I can work using excel that will allow me to make that easier without having to go open a window and looking at the last order number after arranging the workbooks by name inside a folder?
I would like to know how to set default property of protect sheet tool to check the desired boxes. This because I have written the vba code to unprotect the sheet for some purpose and then protect back but after that there are only 2 boxes that ticked. I want to have another boxes to be ticked too.

way the date are shown can be changed by the date format tool, provided the date was entered the correct way. I think we are missing each other. I think the way the date was entered (17.08.07) and converted to (17/08/07) was good. At first it was in text so one wouldnt have known whether it will be taken as yymmdd, ddmmyy, mmddyy etc. well it end up like as 17(yy), 08(mm), 07(dd) instead as 17(dd), 08(mm) and 07(yy). My Q now is is there a way (formula) to swap these orders around...?

Recorded macro. The hope is to insert a excel formatted table a set number of times. I have found a loop code that references a Cell A1 and repeats that amount of times. So if A1= 10. There should be 10 tables inserted. However on the second time there is a fault with the table name. I need the name to change each time the loop is run. ie Table1, Table2, Table3 etc up until the loop stops (A1 contents).

I am running Excel 2011 on Mac OS X. I am trying to save a file (.xls) to a server (Autumn). I have tried several configurations to try to get the file saved properly. File name is "Testfile.xls"
1. folderpath = "Autumn:Tim:TestFolder:" & filename --Activeworkbook.Saveas filename:=folderpath
2. folderpath = "Tim:TestFolder:" & filename Activeworkbook.Saveas filename:=folderpath
3 Activeworkbook.Saveas folderpath
When I try this, I get an Error 1004 indicating that it cannot find the file. Do I need to eliminate the .xls and then specify that when I do the saveas?
I have created a spreadsheet which uses data validation to allow a user to select a company, start Date, end date, and projected months in order to output different figures. I have attached a spreadsheet to this post in case that was hard to understand.
Since there is data validation, indexing, and matching going on, as different selections are made, various tables change as a result. What I mean as you open the example sheet and start messing around with the data validation boxes.
The problem I am encountering now, is creating a chart that will also keep changing as the user changes their selections in the data validation boxes. I am unsure if this is even possible, but I figured it was worth a shot to ask. On the example sheet, I have included a graph similar to the one I want, but it only contains data in a certain range of cells, rather than dynamically changing to accommodate whatever data is outputted.
Here is what I am looking for in the graph:
1. Whatever dates are selected by the user in the data validation boxes, along with the projected dates will be on the x-axis.
2. The PMPM figures associated with the selected dates, and the projected dates on the y-axis.
3. Ability to make different selections from the data validation boxes and still have a dynamic chart that keeps updating itself.
I have a userform which allows data to be entered onto a worksheet. One of the fields (a textbox with the standard calendar control) is the date. When the transaction saves, it correctly saves the date as dd/mm/yyyy using
ActiveCell.Value = TxtDate.Text
I also have a form which allows the user to amend a transaction by loading the data onto the form, amend it and save it back to the worksheet.
The problem is that when it picks up the data and re-saves it, it's resaved in the format mm/dd/yyyy which is a problem because I use the month as one of the categories that users can filter the data by.
I also have the following line immediately after each time the data is saved from the form to the worksheet:
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy;@"
I am importing data (using filestream) from txt files with comma delimited values. When I import dates into General type cells it turns a date of dd/mm/yyyy into mm/dd/yyyy only if the date makes sense.
I would like it to import dd/mm/yyyy as dd/mm/yyyy.
I am also interested to know how Excel/VBA deals with dates coming from various sources, what quirks or mode of thought it follows.
For Mac Excel 2011, though I think my question would apply to any modern version of Excel.
This is a little odd. I have a sheet where, for various reasons (see below ### if interested), I need to copy a hyperlink, replace a substring, and then return the new hyperlink (with old friendly text) to the original cell. (I actually have to do this with an arbitrarily-long column of links.) This was my plan of attack:
* Pull the URL from the hyperlink cell.
* Use FIND and RIGHT to strip out what I need and replace it
* Use HYPERLINK to build a new cell with the original friendly text and the new hyperlink.
* (Manually) copy this new link (really, a column of links) back to the original cell (really, column of cells).
Here's where it breaks down:
a) If I simply cut-and-paste, the formula used to pull the hyperlink becomes circular (as do several others), and Excel complains.
b) If I cut-and-paste-special (values only), I get just the friendly text, no link info. Likewise if I try to reference the "fixed" hyperlink.
The erroneous hyperlinks are in column K. My calculated correct hyperlinks are in column S. (There are similar errors and fixes in L and T, respectively.)

For starters, if I don't use on error resume next I get a runtime error 445: object doesn't support this action. So when I use the on error resume next, then by the time it gets to the foundfiles line, there are no variables set, so on the next line (workbooks.open) nothing happens.
Is there an easier (more up to date?) method to open all csv files (or excel files) in a folder?

I need to exact some data from a file. I can open the file, but can't see any data of it. I am afraid I need to do some setting so that I can see the data, but I don't know what should I do
I'm using Excel 2011 on a MacBook Pro. Here's my situation:
I'm running a monthly budget report that's got three spreadsheets within the workbook. Spreadsheet #1 is summary sheet with a few pivot tables. Spreadsheet #2 is the data sheet, where all of the information is entered, and is what feeds the pivot tables on Spreadsheet #1. Spreadsheet #3 is just a list page that populates the drop-down list on the second sheet.
As this is a monthly budget report, I'd like to find some way to archive the first spreadsheet (the summary sheet) every month. Ideally, I'd like to be able to create a macro-driven button that, when clicked, does the following actions:
1) Creates a new spreadsheet, with each click, named for the current month and year.
2) Archives the exact contents of Spreadsheet #1 by making an exact copy of its current contents, and places this copy into the newly created spreadsheet.
3) Clears the data from Spreadsheet #1 AND Spreadsheet #2.
To summarize, I'm trying to use a button that, when clicked, runs a macro that archives the current month's data into a new spreadsheet, and then clears the data from Sheets #1 and #2 so that I can start each month with a clean slate. If there's a way to only clear the data from certain cell ranges (as opposed to a complete wipe of the sheet), that would be even better.

I have a file here that already has macros in it. The file is basically a excel document generator. When you click create sku, the document will generate multiple documents based on the user inputs.
1) In the generated documents the original "generator" file creates, I need generated files to have column B and D formatted to TEXT, currently all the generated files are formatted to general. (This code is in module 1, line 84 col 34.)
2) The other problem is I need to append the value in Cell N1 in the "sku data entry" sheet to be appended to the generated file names. (this part of the code is is in module 1, line 150 col 28.)

I receive sales data from my wholesalers every month and I continually have to format them to fit the structure of our in-house database. I wanted to design a macro that would automate this process. However, in some months, the files are recieved in a format that is a bit different from the wholesaler's usual format.
Is there such thing as an initial "litmus" test where I could try running the macro and if it doesn't fit the usual structure, there's an error code and I could do it by hand?
I've created a spreadsheet containing 200+ entries for my companies suppliers. These include their name/code, contact emails and contact number. This list is far more easily accessible as it saves the user having to bring up the suppliers details within our own bespoke software. However what seemed like a nifty spreadsheet has quickly turned into a giant mush of details with no way to quickly find the one you want without scrolling down to the one you want.create a function/tool that can allow me to type the contact name in cell "X" and have Excel take me to the suppliers line in the table?
View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there any excel-addin which offers function in which you could search any excel function (not just formula) so that you could access any function in a seconds, just like google desktop search for windows.
Right now you could use quick access for most common functions you use and shortcuts for functions in different group. But if there is universal search for all the functions, it is going to be faster for any access!
