resolving a "not responding" problem that occurs when I try to enter data into a cell in one of two columns in my spreadsheet. These columns don't seem to be linked and I can't see a way of getting at where the problem might be coming from.
Is there a tried and tested method for trouble shooting something like this?
freezing columns and rows it does not seem possible to freeze MULTIPLE rows AND MULTIPLE columns simultaneously in the same spreadsheet.
In my spreadsheet I would like to freeze columns A, B, C as well as rows 1 - 8.
click on cell A4 -right click - insert cell- shift to right, so figure 2 moves to C4 pushing the yellow cell to D4 right?
what am trying to do is to make column c to be frozen or locked or whatever you want to call it, so if I insert a cell in A4 shifting to the right, the value in B4 jumps to D4 without shifting the yellow cell
In earlier versions if I used the double clicked the autofill handle it would only fill down to the next adjacent cell containing data. Now it fills down to the bottom of all the data regardless of whether there is a blank cell or not e.g
X X X Z
X X X Z
X X X Z
X X
X X X
Now this happens
X X X Z
X X X Z
X X X Z
X X ...Z
X X X Z
How can I stop this as I need to enter different data in the next section?
how to add a drop down list while using the excel form for data entry.
Basically I am trying to make it easy for a non technical person to add ebay items to a spreadsheet. This sheet is them used in sixbit software to upload to ebay.
All of these items will have some constants (such as length of listing or listing type etc) but selected from a small list i.e they can ONLY be certain times or types for example . So a list is very important to make sure there are no errors but also for speed.
The sheet has a number of headings so when I select the form function in excel the box comes up with the desired entry boxes just fine but I cant get a list to select from even when I have already created a drop down list in excel sheet.
Trying to freeze top 2 rows as headings.
I select top two rows then
Under VIEW / FREEZE FRAMES I select Freeze ... according to current selection.
But what freezes are rows 1-15 and colums A-N, which I never selected.
How do I get Excel to freeze just the top 2 rows?
I have a macro that does the following.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains New or Old, “Customer” is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains Old2, “Assets” is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains New2, “ShortTerm” is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains Old3, “LongTerm” is entered into Column G in the same row.
Here is the macro.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am about to take a corporate finance course. The textbook uses a ton of basic (complex to me) equations to calculate interest rates, bond premiums, dividend reinvestment scenarios, etc.
I know that Excel has a bunch of specific functions to calculate interest, NPV, etc. but I am NOT interested in using those because I would like to have Excel "do the math" once I enter the formulas (or parts of formulas) correctly.
how to enter the equations below into Excel without using built-in formulas (I'm also not looking to use the Equation editor because I actually to calculate the answers, not just have the visual look/feel of the equation).
1R2 = [(1 + .0194)(1 + .03)]1/2 - 1
If done correctly, 1R2 in the above should equal 2.47%. I am totally fine doing parts of this in separate cells if necessary.
And something more complicated like the below. I wrote out the word "delta" because I don't know how to create the "triangle" symbol for delta on this forum post. According to the text, for securities with semiannual receipt (compounding) of interest, it is represented as:
-D = (delta P / P) / ((delta r sub b) / (1 + (r sub b)/2)))
Or in English, I believe that can be expressed as "negative D equals the quotient of delta P divided by P (in the numerator) divided by the following: delta r sub b divided by the quantity 1 plus r sub b divided by 2"
And finally
V sub b = 1000 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4) + 50 times the following compound bracketed expression [1 - (1 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4)] divided by (.10/2)]
In the workbook the sheet names are month names e.g. july,august,September etc and 1st of each month is to be entered in a cell in each the sheets. By some trial and error I wrote this macro
VB:
Sub test()
Dim j As Integer, monthnr As Long, monthname As String
For j = 1 To Worksheets.Count
[Code]....
This worked in July sheet it is written as 7/1/2013 and in august sheet it is 8/1/2013 etc Then I shortened the macro like thlis
VB:
Sub test()
Dim dte As Date
dte = "july" & "/1/2013"
Range("A1") = dte
End Sub
It worked. Even if I use shortened 3 letter form of month like "Jul" or "aug" then also it works
But if type on the spreadsheet itself
="july"/1/2013
It Gives value error.
Perhaps it works only in vba and not spreadsheet.
I accept nobody is going to use "july" & "/1/2013" instead of 7/1/2013 But this will be useful if sheet names are month names so that when we write the date we can use sheet names Mine excel 2007 and windows 7.
I have data in the following format-----
Name : XYZ
City : ABC
Place : sdfg
Error :
price : [X]
cost : [ ]
time : [ ]
[code]....
I want only name, place,desc and under error, i want that type which is marked cross in the brackets(In the above example it is price ) .
name, place,desc,error should be pasted to separate columns in second excel sheet.
I'm building a database which I intend to upload to an ecommerce website. I am retrieving information on some of our products from the manufacturer's website. The information appears on the manufacturer's website as follows:
Part No : DP9970
* Description : Disc Pads
* Manufacturer : Trupart
* Unit Of Sale : Boxed Set
* Width (mm): 130
* Height (mm): 62
* Thickness (mm): 19
* Note: 4 pads with top clip
When I copy and paste this info into excel, it gives each individual line of information a separate cell. I need the information to appear in one cell in order for it to display properly on my website.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two files which are attached.
One is the main report file "ops report.xls" and other is the raw file (Air.xlsx) from which data is to be added to this file. i manually take the data and enter it into the ops report everyday. This i want to automate as there are many such sheets to be completed (i have mentioned just "Air" sheet here in ops report).
Now what exactly i want to do is?
take data from Air.xlsx workbook as per the columns in the Air sheet in Ops report and paste it on that particular date row. this i will have to do everyday so the nest day the data will be pasted on next row against the date. The yellow columns which i have marked have formula so you need not touch that columns.
I nee to paste the average of Air sales and Air service. so we have to take average of row 43 and row 89 for first two columns in ops report. and then average of row 44 and row 90 for column L,N,O,P,Q in the ops report.
Afterwards the average of column J must be pasted in "Interval" sheet in ops report.
This is a bit tough but i know there are many genius people out there who can easily solve this.
Earlier this morning I had a telephone call from a customer who uses a spreadsheet I created.
She explained that once she'd entered information into a cell [and clicked elsewhere] she couldn't then add to the former; rather, she had to click on the cell and type it all out again.
I assumed that, as an inexperienced excel user, she was unware of either double-clicking the cell, or selecting and pressing F2. I explained these methods to her.
She later emailed me with this:
"Further to our phone conv this morning I have just tried double-clicking on cells but it deletes everything in the cell rather than lets you edit what is there – F2 does the same thing. This applies to any cell, whether it is text, date or number."
I've been using excel for a while now, and I've never come across such a thing before.
Has anyone else? Could it be to do with her own excel settings? (other customers have had no such problem)
I have the bellow code, I'd like enter the input on the next available row on column "A" instead than on "A2"

MsgBox "You have chosen not to participate!", vbInformation, "What happened?"
Exit Sub
End If
Range("A2").Value = strResponse1
I have a basic script in VBA set up to enter standard information (street address in one block and city in another) on a website that has no fees or password requirements. If I step through the code using F8, this works great and the website returns the data for the address that was input from my excel sheet. However, when I assign this same macro to a control button on the excel sheet to get the code to run automatically, the website comes up to the default screen with nothing entered in either of the blanks. Again, when I just step through this, I get all the way to the output page on the website with the resulting data from my input data. For some reason, this does not happen using the same code connected to a button for automation purposes.

I have a spreadsheet that records water consumption in L/s at 5 minute intervals. I've attached an example of the data collected during January 2012.
Is there any formula that will calculate the total amount of water consumed between a user-entered date range? For example:
From: 01/01/12 00:00 (User enters 'from date and time' in an allocated cell)
To: 20/01/12 23:55 (User enters 'to date and time' in an allocated cell)
Consumption: ______ (Formula generated result in Litres)
As I input data down a column in a wide Excel spreadsheet I would like to have highlighted the line I am working on as a check that I am in the correct place. I know that I can hit 'shift', 'space' for a single line, but is there a way to do it without having to hit those keystrokes each time?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a list of customer credits for my store. I have the person's name, the date of their credit, and the amount of the credit. This list will eventually be substantial and I would like to know how I can set it up so that when I open the worksheet I can enter new names from the top of the list and have the rest of the list shift downwards. This would stop me from having to scroll to the very bottom to add new info every time.
I would like to have it set up this way so that eventually I could put a search query at the top of the page (i'm thinking of rigging something up using vlookup) so that when my employees want to access the data base they can easily search a name and have the relevant info brought up, or can easily type in new store credits.

Can I add something to a cell and have it so it does not print?
I need to mark certian cells to have data filled in, in those cells. However if data is not put in those cells I need them to be blank when printed.
Example:
I can put text in B7:
Enter Name Here
Then the user knows to put the name in that spot. If there is no name to be entered then I want to be sure that is not printed when I print the list.
Is any of this a possibility without putting 33 different labels on the page, which is one way. Or 33 different comments on the page, another way.

Above is what I hav already, I was thinking it would help if each card had an additional field added that told you if the contents were valid. This could also say empty if all fields were blank. This field could for example use an if statement to check that you have entered a VS, a start date a project name. It could also check that if you have entered a completion date you also enter review loops. This could be in large red text so it is obvious to someone completing a card that they have not yet filled in all necessary data.
