Excel Photo With Transparent Cells?
Jan 24, 2013Is it possible to put a picture in excel with transparent "cells" like the attached. Where I could type in the actual cell in the transparent (white blocks) part of the photo?

View 4 RepliesI have a macro that inserts a photo via a photo path that has been set as an object variable. This macro has always worked for me in Excel 2003 but after updating to Excel 2013, the macro gives me a "runtime error 1004 - unable to get the insert property of the picture class". When I debug, Excel crashes.
The macro is designed to loop through up to nine fields (in 9 adjacent columns) and find a photo path for a picture, insert the picture, and print that page, then go to the next column, get the photo path and insert that picture and repeat. The initial part of the macro is as follows. The PhotoID as Object seems to be what no longer works...
I do not care if the inserted photos are maintained in the file when it is not connected to the3 drive hosting the photos, only that I can print them when the drive is available.
Sub PrintPDFImpSums()[INDENT][INDENT]Dim PageNo
Dim RangePrint As Range
Dim Photo As Picture

I'm trying to make a map of 14 regions where each region changes brightness depending on values in the worksheets. I think I've got this bit sorted. I'm planning on creating the map using a collection of tessellated shapes or images, and using VBA to alter the properties of each one to create a dynamic map.
The output of the individual maps from MapInfo, our GIS software, is in .png or .jpg. format, and come with a white background. Is there any way to either make the background transparent so multiple shapes can be tessellated effectively, or a way to crop the image to the area's border?
Either that, or does someone know a way to output from MapInfo in such a way to make this possible? (Granted, it's a long shot, but you can't blame a guy for trying...)
Excel 2010, Windows 8.1. I want to retrieve a photo from a folder and paste it into a cell. I have the paste and format process figured out but I'm having trouble putting the file path together to retrieve the photo. If I use the full path, the statement below retrieves "IMAG1234.jpg" and puts it where I want it.
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_PhotosIMAG1234.jpg").Select
But if I have a different photo file name as a string in a cell (e.g. "IMAG5678.jpg") what is the syntax to attach it to the file path? i.e
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_Photos") & "IMAG5678.jpg".Select '(which of course doesn't work)
So, I have a path but I want to attach different photo number to the path from a sting in a cell.
I tried to record setting a trendline to 100% transparent but this action doesn't seem to record.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an ActiveX Label control with a transparent background. When I click on the label the background turns white and stays that way as long as the mouse is over the label, obscuring whatever's underneath. (It also very slightly alters the character spacing.) What object/property controls this? How do I adjust it?
While I'm here, is there an easy programmatic way to assign arbitrary RGB colors to ActiveX controls? The palettes available from the Properties window are fairly limited. A google search for "ActiveX colors" yields a deluge of marketed products, so it's hard to find useful information.
Possible to set the BackColor of an ActiveX textbox to transparent? I have the BackStyle set to transparent, which is great since it will be transparent when not selected so you can see the color of the cell behind it, but once you select it to type in it, the BackColor overrides the cell behind it.
Right now, I have a sheet where the color of a cell changes to green if the textbox needs input from a user. If I have the BackColor set to white, the cell behind will change to green so the user knows they need to enter something in the textbox, but once they click the textbox, it goes white and may confuse them.
On the other hand, if I change the BackColor to green, it works great when the user clicks the correct textboxes, but if the user clicks the wrong textbox, it will 'incorrectly' turn green which may make the user believe they need to enter something in the textbox.
I am working on a VBA code I found online. That will download a photo from a designated URL and input the photo in to a cell.

Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A
Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).
there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.
I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....
Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far using excel 2003)
Top 34%:
=IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))
I am using Excel 2010 and basically i am trying to fill a range of cell with a green color if any value was enter in a specific cells. Example: I would like to fill range: A10:c13 with a green color (regardless of the cells content in this range) if a value was entered in cell C10 or C11 or C12 or C13.
I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.
how to copy the content of cells of different xcell files from a given directory into a single formatted xcell sheet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2002 and have had a couple of files that seem to have become corrupted recently. When I try to open the files there is nothing there, no cells just a grey space where the cells should be. When I try to close Excel it asks me if I want to save changes when no changes have been made.
I had not made any changes to the sheets prior to this happening so am struggling to work out what is going on.
I am trying to get two cells to be used to adjust other cells on the same sheet repeated times.
In a inventory sheet I have 5 columns as such , A1 previous balance, B1 Qty received, C1 qty on hand, D1 last cost, E1 current avg cost What I want, is to be able to enter my weekly received items in the B1 Qty received and the new cost in D1 Last cost cells and have them calculate my current average E1 and update my qty on hand C1 total. This in itself is not the biggest challenge. I was asking if there is a way that after the E1 current average cost and C1 qty on hand are updated by that formula, that the next time I enter a new B1 qty received and new cost in D1 Last cost cell they will update again basically without changing the earlier calculations achieved .
Example: Today I have item X with a A1 previous balance of 10 , with a D1 last cost of $1, and E1 current avg cost $1
I want to receive B1 10 more today at $.50 D1 last cost, which ideally would end up showing
A1 previous 10 (or 20 if adding) , C1 Qty on hand 20, D1 Last cost .5, E1 current avg $.75
Next week I want to receive B1 10 more at $.25 D1 last cost , which then would update showing
A1 previous balance 10 (or 30 if adding), Qty on hand 30, Last cost $.25 and E1 current avg $.58
So i've been trying to do this invoice/inventory/client , I couldn't find a way to somehow register the whole invoice as it is, so i can later print/visualize it if i lost the copy or something.
It would be best if it just stayed stored in a variable and not always visible, and only appeared if i wanted to check/print it.
The whole invoice would be from A1 to F30
Excel 2010 btw
I am using Excel 2007, and here is my scenario. I have a spreadsheet with a different sheet for each month of the year. I want certain cells in a month's sheet to mirror or be equal to the same cell in the previous sheet so that if I change the value of a cell in April, the same cell will automatically be changed in May.
An example is that I have a cell with the value of "Comcast". If I want to change that value in April to "Directv", I want it to automatically change in May, too.
Now I know that I can individually program a cell to be equal to a cell in another sheet and it will do exactly what I want. The problem is that I have about 60 cells in each sheet that I want to mirror the same cells in the previous sheet, and I don't want the entire sheet to mirror the previous one. So with 11 months/sheets with cells mirroring the previous sheet, individually programming 660 cells and switching between sheets to do that would take a very long time.
So my question is this. Is there any way to select multiple cells and have them all mirror the same cells on a different sheet without my having to program each cell individually?
I have a worksheet full of names in column A that are "First Name Last Name", is there a VBA code that I can write so when a user inputs the name in the "First Name Last Name" format it automatically changes the format of the name to "Last Name, First Name"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having some problems with graphing 'blank' cells for my thesis work.
I am filling in data still as I go, and I'm trying to set up my graphs as well so I can easily go in later and modify, fill in more data, or whatever. But all the cells I've formatted as coming back blank are labelled as zeros on the Excel graph. I tried putting in to return #N/A but then Excel is still graphing the cells as zeros. Frustrating. I really do not want to have to recopy over 1000 data points, find the zeros, and cut them out later, I'll have enough to do writing the dang thing. How to modify the formula to have it correctly skip the points when graphing (it's a line graph)?
This is the current formula I'm using. =IFERROR(AVERAGE(C41:Y41), "")
And I put in =IFERROR(AVERAGE(C41:Y41), "#N/A"), which shows the cell as #N/A (which, I'd much rather it be blank, as then I can read the data easier), but it is still graphing as 0.
I'm working with Excel 2007 and all of a sudden its selecting two cells. I've tried what others suggested of the F8, I even shut it down and opened it again. I took my template and saved it as a normal book, opened that one and again same thing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using two separate workbooks. I am tranferring dates into a new spreadsheet to track projects dates for milestones.
The formula I am using is this: =IF('[BBBBB Dates as of 9-9-13.xlsx]Sheet1'!$CQ$4="", VLOOKUP(W54, '[BBBBB Dates as of 9-9-13.xlsx]Sheet1'!$1:$1048576, 94, FALSE), VLOOKUP(W54, '[BBBBB Dates as of 9-9-13.xlsx]Sheet1'!$1:$1048576, 95, FALSE)).
I would like the cell to turn green if the last part of the formula is true and stay clear if the first part of the formula is true.
I also need to add color beyond just that. I was attempting to apply conditional formatting but am a bit stumped. I want the green to be maintained regardless of other formatting. I would also like to apply to cells that are not color coded green:
Red - if the date is overdue
Yellow - if the date is within 7 days
Otherwise, leave the cell color as clear
Is this possible with conditional formatting? I am not at all proficient in VBA...
My requirement is something like this. I have a workbook where end-users can fill data and send it to our system. They might enter any rows of data, it can be just 1 or even 100. I want to force users to fill in values in few mandatory fields : columns in B,C,D,E. Now I need a VBA code that should throw a message when it finds that the value in cells B,C,D,E are blank.
Since I am not sure how many rows of data the user can fill, I dont know how to code in VBA the above scenario. I cant give a range as the total rows of input data is not available and static value.
I want to color cells if it is texted as ULF by green, if it is texted as OS by red in the all row down, it easy but I can't.
