Excel Automatically Highlights Row And Column Number When Click On A Cell?

View 1 RepliesI must be hitting a key by accident sometimes which makes Excel highlight the cells immediately below the ones I want as well. So, if I click in the middle of cell A1, it also highlights A2, A3 and sometimes A4 even though I haven't dragged down over them.
Why is this? I can't work out how to stop it doing it. Some previously recommended hitting F8 but this doesn't seem to stop it.
I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?
I am currently using a pop up calendar in Excel 2010 that with CTL+SHIFT+B that a calendar pops up, you select your date, and then the calendar closes. What I now need is to write a code or formula or something that when I click in any cell in column F lets say that the calendar opens automatically in that cell and then still close automatically after the date selection is made.

Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
I am creating a resource and I'd like the users of this resource to be able to click a cell which will then automatically come up with an x or similar symbol (tick?) and then if they click the cell again the x will disappear. Is this possible? I don't want a drop down box where they have to choose what they want, I want it to be an automatic action when the cell is clicked because there will be many cells that I will need to do this.

It must highlight the number if it's -300 or 300 in both instances.
I'm trying to set up a system of sorts to track "services"
At the top of my 'new service" page, I need a button, which I then need to have a macro run on.
Sheet 1 is basically where I'd be entering the info, and sheet 2 where it would be stored. The button at the top is called Generate New "service' Number. This then needs to generate a new number on sheet 2 in A2 (then once 2 is populated, generate new in 3, then 4, then 5 etc...
I have a macro on Save Service Button at the bottom, which transposes the data into what would be used as a database to store all the services. That Macro then also needs to only transpose and paste data into the row corresponding with the "service number".
I have a two way data table for which the two variables are changed frequently. In the data table, for ease of reference, i usually highlight the corresponding row and column of the two most current variables the intersection of which gives you the current output. But these highlights need to eb changed each time the variables are changed 9the table is copied onto another document for presentation hence the need to keep changing the highlights).
I was thinking of configuring the highlighting process to happen dynamically, i.e. the row and column highlights change dynamically when the variables are changed.
I work in a factory where we create different types of units daily. Below is a list of planned production on a specific date, say today's date. This is a very crude example, with information missing, and it is important to know that there are conditions attached such as:
The types are added randomly. The amount of types is much greater meaning that each type is on it's own page with breaks between. Everything produced on this date will have a URN (unique reference number) with its first 6 digits equating to yy-mm-dd and the last two being the position of the unit in the production sequence (first=01, second=02 etc).
I have gotten it to the point where if you enter them in sequence (Type A first for example) it will lookup to see the last assigned URN and taking the quantity into account issue the correct URNs.
The issues I have are when the URNs are less than "10", there is a problem displaying the 0 before the digit which disrupts the sequence. I can provide more clear examples if required.

I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.
This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!
How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?
btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!
attached is the sheet u have prepared for me but there is a problem in this sheet that it highlights only the first value in a cell however my requirement is to highlight the every value in a cell if matching with the search criteria.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working with a group of individuals that will be passing around an
excel spreadsheet to one another, and wanted to come up with a way to have
the 1st column act as an index, with the key component requiring that the
index column would automatically re-number itself, if someone entered a new
row.
A typical value in the first column looks like this: 8-5-012-005
Which in our case means that there are 4 series of number sets, separated by
dashes. So the first set is 8, the second 5, the third 012, and the fourth
005. The available range for the sets are 7 or 8 for the first, 5 through 9
for the second, and 0 through 130, and 0 through 200, respectively.
So the user can pick any of these ranges for when they decide to create a
new record (row).
Here is the way the spreadsheet columns currently look (always sorted by
Tract_ID):
Row-1 Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 7-5-112-005 01245787
Row-4 8-5-012-005 01245787
Row-5 8-6-030-125 01245787
Now, here is the way I'd like to have the spreadsheet columns look with the
Index_No (can be either Numeric or Text - depending on your recomendations).
The sort order is based on 1st, the index number, then 2nd the Tract_ID:
Row-1 Index_No Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 1 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 2 7-5-112-005 0126A560
Row-4 3 8-5-012-005 01005147
Row-5 4 8-6-030-125 01000541
Then, let's say the user wants to enter a new value like say, 7-5-105-021.
That value would need to go between Row-1 and Row-2, which, if they just
inserted the value in the row of their choice, would screw up the indexing.
What I need is a way to ALWAYS create an index (automatically), no matter
where they decide to put the value in the spreadsheet, AND it would update
all of the other Indexes as well (very important requirement).
So the end result would be this:
Row-1 Index_No Tract_ID Parcel_ID
Row-2 1 7-5-065-105 01245787
Row-3 2 7-5-105-021 00547419
Row-4 3 7-5-112-005 5126A560
Row-5 5 8-5-012-005 00005147
Row-6 5 8-6-030-125 00001541
I have a matrix with numbers that each cell is composed by a function of two parameters (two columns). The formula is
"=COUNTIFS(T2:T99,"15",V2:V99,"14")",
So it's counts when in one cell column I receive 15 and in the other 14. For instance, I receive the number 3 - so I have three rows that match (the first column with 15 and the second with 14).
I want, when I select the cell from the matrix (table) with the number 3 (that I receive from the formula) it will highlight the relevant rows..
Trying to use VBA to prevent users from sending a form unless all fields have been completed, then highlight blank cells, and send a pop-up message that all cells in myRange need to be filled out. Otherwise, send the worksheet.
My code will highlight the blank cells, but it only highlights one cell at a time and then I have to click on the pop-up message for it to highlight the next one, and then the email still goes out.
How can I fix this to highlight all the blank cells at once, with only one pop-up message, and prevent the email from going out?

Is it possible with excel, to automatically insert an employees number if their name is inserted.
Example:
Column A If Smith, John is entered in Column B automatically have his employee number show 5668?
Joe, Mary entered in Column A Column B to show 12345
This would save me a huge amount of time going back and fourth.
code which highlights a cell depending on the criteria of another cell.
Example.
In B1 I have the formula =NOW() (we all now what this means).
In B2 I have a completion date.
I would like A2 to fill with a specified colour.
Can this be done so that it works down the whole sheet, if the date is in B5 then only A5 will highlight so basically only the A cell on the same row will change depending on the date in B on the corresponding row?
I have the following formula. How can I change it so thst when copy/drag the column number automatically increments by 1
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP($A2,'Purchase Order Pivot Table'!$5:$500,67,FALSE))

I want to be able to double click on a cell in a column. If it has a certain word in it, it will take it to that worksheet. Auto filters are used so these cells can move in a column at any time. This is why I am looking for a code to validate the contents in the cell first.
ie. Cell has the word: BSALT, when double clicked it will take it to the BSALT worksheet.
Cell has the word MLW, when double clicked it will take it to the MLW worksheet.
And so on.
These values are in one column only. If they weren't able to be autofiltered i could do it, but the mere fact that they can move around is giving me trouble.
I am familar with Auto-filter but use it too much to make it very handy. I would like to know if there is a way to assign a row as my event row, so that when I click on a cell (the header) in that row it sorts the column.
I have no idea how to access this functionality, but it sounded like an easy one for some of you Excel/VBA gurus out there.
Basically I first want to be able define around 100 variables such as:
Dog = 1
Cat = 2
Mouse = 3
And so on. The reason being my final data needs to be the numbers for it's purpose but because there are so many I can't possibly remember them all to just type out 23 | 44 | 76 | 2 etc. What I would like to then happen is that whenever I type out the words in a cell it's automatically replaced with the number ID.
So typing in
Dog
Mouse
Mouse
Cat
Dog
would automatically result in
1
3
3
2
1
In those cells when I hit enter or at the end in one go. Is this at all possible in Excel 2010?

I have a macro that runs the solver add multiple timesin as part of the routine.
When the solver finishes its calculation a box pops up that asks if you want to keep the solver solution and you need to click OK to continue. I have to keep clicking OK multiple times to let the macro continue
Is there a way to have that button click OK automatically when it pops up?
Doing Inventory on my excel sheet.
Every week I do inventory on my excel sheet, I have a link for every row and for the past months, I have been clicking through every link as I do my inventory. It's all fine and well until my inventory grew and now clicking through every link every week becomes frustrating.
I am looking for a code that when run will automatically open any hyperlink in column B if the value in column A is less than 0.
I wonder if it is possible to make a macro that right clicks a cell and then chooses a option from the list?
