Excel 2013 :: Properties Dropdown Box Not Working?
May 13, 2014
I am using Excel 2013/365 on a Windows 7 OS. Recently (today) I added a command button to a worksheet, opened the properties window and tried to change the Backcolor property. When I clicked on the dropdown arrow no list appeared, it highlighted the default in the designated area. I then tried the Forecolor property - same response. I tried all the other dropdown arrows and they worked perfectly. To me I believe I may have inadvertently hit a key to disable these two color property dropdown arrows
Column 3 is just a ranking from 1-30. So I select all the data in columns 1 and 2 and hit sort from largest to smallest and it looks like excel computes, but nothing changes and it doesn't sort from largest to smallest? A
I created an add-in with custom VBA and forms, which also stores user preferences in worksheets in the addin. When the add-in loads, it creates a custom menu on the Add-Ins ribbon that allows the user to run the main macro, or to assign a shortcut key of their choosing. It also allows them to enter registration information.
In Excel 2013, the code is all accessible since the add-in still loads, but it doesn't add the custom menu allowing users to interact with the macros. I'm told this is due to the switch to SDI.
It seems that adding Workbook_Open code to a normal file allows the custom menu to be created, but adding the same code to an add-in file does not work.
I am working on a commission report for our veterinarians. I have a tab/sheet for each year, with a column for each month, a row for each of the veterinarian. Each vet is on the same row, year to year. I need to be able to calculate the %, year to date, for each vet, across the past 2 years. I can do the auto sum, but do not know how to do percentage. I have row 3, column b3 thru m3. I want to do 2012 and 2013. Each sheet is name the year.
Our company has a shipping report spreadsheet that has the job number in column A and the ship date in column F. I want to track other things on a separate spreadsheet. So far, we are only down to row 1440 so in order to account for future jobs, my code on the other spreadsheet is:
Also, the jobs are arranged by ship date, not by number order.
This has worked perfectly for months but for some reason, it will no longer recognize job numbers greater than 1331. The format is the same between the working and non-working cell. Is there a max limit for vlookups that I am not aware of? If this was a sudden failure, I could nail it down but there has to be an underlying reason I'm not seeing.
Here is a sample of my spreadsheet: Ship Date 1325 12/27/13 1326 3/10/14 1327 1/4/14 1328 1/31/14 1329 3/3/14 1330 1/22/14 1331 1/15/14 1332 #N/A 1333 #N/A 1334 #N/A 1335 #N/A 1336 #N/A 1337 #N/A 1338 #N/A 1339 #N/A 1340 #N/A
I am using Excel 2013. I have an autofilter turned on for the columns in the spreadsheet. When I click on the filter button at the top of a column, the filter values do not have any check boxes next to them so I can't check any values. how to fix it so that it has checkboxes? I've attached a screen shot.
Is there a Column Filter Drop down Keyboard Shortcut for Excel 2013?
In Excel 2013, is there a keyboard shortcut to access the column filter drop down. For example, if you are on the cell A1, and you select Filter under the data menu and you want to filter column A without using your mouse, is there a keyboard shortcut to do this. I know Alt-A-C, clears the filters, but I want to know if there is a shortcut to access the filters in the column. In case my explanation isn't clear, I have included some screenshot pictures of the filter, before and after it is selected, to show what I am talking about, and what I am trying to accomplish without the mouse.
I'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.
I can't work out why my indirect drop down list isn't working. I have named ranges and it works for the first couple but not for the rest.
Tab called 'Work record' is where the drop down lists are. 'Work Type' drop down works fine. Description only works when I select 'Doors' under 'Work type'.
I want to add these document properties I created to a cell ("A1" or any of the cells) without doing any VBA programming. Is this achievable in any case?
I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.

It has been awhile since I've worked on anything and I can't remember how to do something that is probably very simple. I have placed an option button on my worksheet and cannot for the life of me remember how to change the properties. When I right click and select properties a box pops up but there is no info there. I want to be able to change the name and group etc.
I have a question regarding the properties of an Excel file (.xls 2003). I can change them all (as indicated on Microsoft support website) expect the name of the last person who recorded the document (File ==> Properties==>Stat.)
I have managed to create a command button in excel 2007 that performs a macro upon a click. But, after re-opening the workbook, I am unable to right click on the button to recall the properties window.
I have the following function in cell (table 2 column C) where I want to find a contact name from my table TMI if 3 criteria are true (client, account, NAM) For each contact I have 1 true combination of client/account/NAM but for each client/account/Nam I can have several contacts.
What I've got: This code allows the user to pick one (sub)folder - the MailItem properties of the folder are then printed to the sheet.
[Code] .....
My goal: Rather than allowing the user to pick one folder, I'd like to set up a hardcoded array of five subfolders found in a shared inbox. The hierarchy is as follows:
[Code] .....
The thing is, I have huge problems with referring to any of the red subfolders above. I think I'm able to point to the shared inbox if I substitute .Pickfolder with this, but then I'm stuck! I need to go down two levels in the hierarchy.
[Code] ......
I should be able to produce an array by myself so if I at least just could get a pointer on how to refer to one single folder that would be truly awesome.
When I open a spreadsheet I get the following message
Excel found unreadable content in Book_Name. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook.
All the information I find says:
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true: The workbook contains a PivotTable that uses key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPIs are created in the Analysis Services Business Intelligence Development Studio. One or more of the KPIs have an expression in the Current Time Member property.
and the fix is : To resolve this issue, remove the expressions from all Current Time Member properties.
My issue is - the spreadsheet with Pivot tables is supplied to me. I am using Excel 2007 - how to remove the expressions?
When I do this on another machine same version of excel I have no issue.
When setting up a Direct Debit There are 3 options, the 7th, 17th and 27th. I've put these into a drop down list. I need this list to be slightly dynamic. I must allow 10 working days from the date of the arrangment before I can apply the DD.
To explain further. If someone were to want to set up a DD and spoke to me today. If they then requested the DD be taken on the 7th, I wouldn't be able to set it up until the 7th of December as 10 working days are required. I'd like the list to reflect this. I can do it in OO with a simple if / switch but excel is a strange creature and I'm not sure how to approach the problem.
From that I think I also need to calculate the number of weeks remaining in the current financial year. I think I should be able to do this by using the Today() function and some maths.
My and a work college needed to combine our separate excel worksheets into a single document.
Office 2013 didn't have a function to "import sheet from file" so we used open office to import my .xlsx worksheets.
After we finished importing we exported the final workbook as .xls (so I could open it).
After opening the workbook on my pc (excel 2013) i notice some of the sheets no longer have column headers, but the row headings still exists. (No ABCD, only 1234)
Also I am unable to use features such as "Freeze Pane"
I suspect this was caused by importing and exporting through open office?
I currently have a workbook that has VBA functions that calculates values by looping through large amounts of data in a few large excel sheets. I want to transfer the data from these sheets into Access and then bring data into the VBA code via an array from the data in Access rather than the array being populated from the data in excel as it currently is. How to create the connection. The access DB will be situated in a public directory on a server. How to create the connection string and then how I call the data from Access? I have just downloaded Office 2013.
I have a complicated spreadsheet with several columns. Some columns B, D, E, F, M come from calculations on other columns or are columns copied from other worksheets within the same workbook.
I have another column C which is generated entirely off a macro with no input from the user.
I insert a row at line 8 (see above). However its just a blankrow and the formula highlighted in E2 does not show in E8 but it does appear for E9. I'd need that formula to be in E8.
My dilemma is how to insert a row and have it copy the formula from too.
I'd like to avoid copying another row into it and editing data. Other thing to avoid is putting all new rows at the end of the spreadsheet if possible. Has to be in the middle of the existing table.
I have a big spreadsheet with IT / Finance data. Below is the formula, I currently have. I am summing column Y in Tab Savings Data Detail, where column A does not equal Parent, and The Value in Column AK on the Savings data details tab matches the value in current tab for cell B26 and where column G on the savings detail tab equals Transition to IT. I am adding that value to the second sumifs statement essentially the values in column X on the savings detail tab with the same criteria.
Now I need to add to each of these formulas. I need to sum only the values where the date value in column W on the data details tab is greater than or equal to 01/01/2013 and less than or equal to 12/31/2013
find the easiest way?
=SUMIFS('savings data details'!$Y:$Y,'savings data details'!$A:$A,"Parent",'savings data details'!$AK:$AK,$B26,'savings data details'!$G:$G,"Transition to IT")+ SUMIFS('savings data details'!$X:$X,'savings data details'!$A:$A,"Parent",'savings data details'!$AK:$AK,$B26,'savings data details'!$G:$G,"Transition to IT")
