External Data Query Based On Cell Content..
Nov 30, 2009
I have a sheet which is running a a query against an external source, and coming back with a list of client data. Each row is an investment with it's own unique InvestmentID number and a ClientID number. Each client has their own unique ClientID, however may have multiple investments (InvestmentID) linked to their ClientID (does that make any sense?!).
Anyway, the query I have returns ALL investments. I know how to manually change this to only bring back certain client(s), however I want to be able to have the users (who don't know what a query is, yet alone to how to use/edit one) enter a ClientID into say, cell B2 and have the query reflect that ClientID. If they have to click a button to run a macro after entering the ClientID, so be it (although it'd be great if it actioned once they hit "Enter").
I know this is possible because I've used something similar before (that someone else created!). What I don't know is... if I had multiple "entry cells", could I have the query filter by two (or more?) ClientIDs? That is, they enter the first ClientID in B2 and the second ClientID in C2, the query then returns all information relating to B2 or C2

An external data web query points to a web site that offers a foreign exchange rate calculator. In my browser, I selected the specific currency pair I need and used the resulting url in the web query. The "New Web Query" pane resolves the url correctly and allows me to select the table data I want (the little yellow arrow turns to a green check mark). However, when I hit "Import" and select the target cell, the only data returned is the parameters from the url and an error msg (This web query returned no data...). How do I get the query to pass the parameters to the website correctly?

I am setting up a worksheet (1) with a full list of part numbers supplied, cost etc. ie:
Part Description Price Qty
1234 Blah Blah £1.00 1
1235 Blah Blah £3.00 0
1236 Blah Blah £2.00 2
And I have set up a seperate worksheet (2) as an invoice. What I have been trying to do is when I enter a qty in worksheet (1), worksheet (2) will reconise an entry in the qty colum an copy selected fields/ cells. I can do a "=" or use an "if" statement looking at anything greater than "0". but is there a way I can get the invoice worksheet to ignore any lines with "0". So it will only copy over the information with only qtys for the invoice ?.

I am currently trying to create a spreadsheet whereby if I enter certain text in a cell in Column A on worksheet 1 that correlates with text in a cell in Column A on Worksheet 2, then the description in Column B in Worksheet 2 is entered into Column B on worksheet 1.
For example, if worksheet 2 has the following:
Column A Column B
XXXX PRODUCT 1
YYYY PRODUCT 2
and I enter XXXX in column A on worksheet 1, I want Column B on worksheet 1 to automatically enter PRODUCT 1.

Formula/macro/etc that would enable me to have content of a cell changed based on the content of another cell in the same row.
Example: cell in column D says "PSA" - so I would need the cell in column H for that same row to read "Radio"
I would need an entire sheet scanned to review for these occurrences and make the appropriate changes. I also would need the formula to be inclusive enough to scan for variations in column D cell content (PSA 1, PSA 2, etc).

I have a named range (D:16 F:800) called “NameRange” which contains names.
I’d like to create a macro which offsets a letter “x”, 10 columns to the right everywhere that name appears within the range. As an example: If I’m trying to find the name Tom, A dropdown menu shows the name “Tom” ( which I’ve created) whereby it calls upon a script to search within the named range from this:
Bob Kim Tom
Tom Sue
Mary Bill Ted
Tom Sue Bob
Fred Bill Sue
Bob Tom Kim
and offset “x” to look like this:.......

I'm trying to obtain a result based on the number of characters in a cell. If the cell content is blank or contains 9 digits then leave blank.
Any other result must provide the outcome of "incorrect number supplied".
I've tried the following formula but it doesn't work.

I am working on a spread sheet for work were we have to test certain items on certain days, e.g. one item needs to be tested every Tuesday & Thursday, when the test is completed you click on a drop down box and click on completed or in progress.
What I would like are a couple of things to happen as follows:
A message box would pop up when you open the file to inform the employee that the test is due today only on Tuesday & Thursday if not completed or in progress from the drop down box. Once you select completed or in progress from the drop down box the message box no longer appears. Every Tuesday & Thursday when it's first open it deletes the cell content, thus triggering the message box test is due today, and once completed or in progress it no longer appears until next Tuesday or Thursday.
The spread sheet is on shared drive and used by several users, let's just say cell A1 is the cell I have the drop down box

I have a drop down list made from the Forms toolbar with a list of items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I have set it with a linked cell, so when you choose, say 3, from the dropdown, 3 appears in B10.
I was hoping to add a 'Go' button, which would run another macro depending on what is in B10, i.e. so if 3 was chosen, then you press 'Go', Macro3 would be run.
So I have 5 macros called Macro1 - Macro5, and I need some code for the 'Go' button which will run the right macro depending on what number is in cell B10.

I have standardized each existing worksheets and any new worksheet to have certain parameters. The purpose of the Macro requested is ensure these worksheets are sorted alphabetically (and only these worksheets). The code I have been working with is contained below. It is working as expected but now I need to incorporate a statement which places the following condition:
Sort worksheets only if A3 has cell value of eCRF NameIgnore worksheet name: TOC & ENTER ECRF NAME
VB:
Sub Sort_Tabs()
'declare our variables
Dim i, j As Integer

I want to format a range of cells based on the name listed in a cell in column A (starting @A6). I currently do this manually. It is to help me visually see the line I am working with and for what person.
I am almost certain that is going to take a VBA, but I know little to nothing about setting one up.
I have attached a sample. I am using Excel 2003.

I also would like to change the colors of these cells change automatically depending on which button is pressed.

I have a circle object on an Excel spreadsheet(I used "Insert", "Shapes" to put it there).
I would like to change the colour of the circle object based on the contents of cell A1.
Cell A1 will be "Red", "Yellow" or "Green".
If I type "Green" into cell A1, then I would like the circle object to change to green.
If I type "Yellow" into cell A1, then I would like the circle object to change to yellow....

I have a large spring-selection table, which is populated with things like "4.88 x 635" and "5.26 x 584". There are 1520 fields in the table populated with any combination of the 432 springs available for selection. The spreadsheet takes my criteria, finds out which springs it's allowed to choose from, and populates the table. It could be 20 springs, could be 30. I'm trying to get the number down to 10. The table updates when I change the criteria.
What I'm after at this point is a macro which will color-code the table based on the cell contents, so that all the "4.88 x 635" have one color and all the "5.26 x 584" have another colour. Doesn't have to be any particular colour, just so long as it's a bit different to the cells around it. how the table reacts.
The biggest spring size is "6.93 x 1727", which could be converted to a color reference, perhaps by adding up all the digits, or taking out the non-digits and dividing by 123781, I don't know I'm thinking out loud. And then just assign the cell color to that number.
Where to start a macro like this. Obviously it would use ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex but I can't find anything like this on the web.

I have inherited a spreadsheet from someone else that rather cleverly (in my humble opinion) sets the colour dependant on the contents. ie negative value is red, zero is amber and positive is green.
i like the idea and would like to use it on a spreadsheet of my own, but have tried to find out how it is done and can't!

I have a dynamic table (rows regularly added or deleted) that is generated automatically based on choices made by the user in another worksheet. I need a function that will examine all the cells in one column, and when it finds a difference between two cell entries, it will change the border between these two entries to dark (medium weight), and then extend this border across the table. The end result should be that wherever the cell contents differ within a column, the table is divided by a darker border across the entire row.

I'm trying to find a macro that will allow me to enable several drop down lists in the same cell based on the content of another cell. In other words:
If cell A1 is the data entry cell, and the user enters "cat"
Then cell B1 will display a drop down list of previously grouped options: "mouse, bug, bird"
If in cell A1 the user enters "dog"
Then cell B1 will display a different list of previously grouped options: "mole, rabbit, kibble"
