File Getting Too Big Because Of Arrows Not Being Deleted
Oct 3, 2013
I do a weekly report for my employer. We have our tabs conditionally formatted. We then insert the corresponding arrows to show a trend to the weekly variance. After the week is up I will delete a column and add a column to the end (making it a trended view) and move the arrows by selecting and dragging all of them into its respected week. I then go on to delete several arrows throughout the worksheet. For some reason my file continues to grow in size however I am only keeping a 12 week trend. The arrows are not deleting properly and are sitting in the background, where I cannot see them. I know this bc I did "find & Select" and chose selection pane. I was wondering how I can resolve this problem or maybe delete just certain columns of arrows (objects)? I had 61,000 arrows and shouldn't have more than a couple 1,000.

When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.

We have created a macro that basically looks for rows that contain an "H" and hides the row if it does.
Users can add new rows throughtout the year to this spreadsheet. and based on certain criteria, an H or U will be placed in a hidden column which the macro looks at and hides any row it finds an H.
The user has to click on the button that has the macro assigned to it once they have finished working on the spreadsheet.
The problem we're finding is that for users who insert/delete rows, once they click the button it takes up to 15 seconds to run through macro (which is ok). However, users who haven't added or deleted any rows and who click the button, they have to wait upto 5 minutes (which isn't ok) for the macro ro run.
We can't figure out why the macro takes longer to run when no changes have been made?

I have been sent a spreadsheet with data in it that is from a Pivot table.
The headings look like the ones in the Pivot table the only difference is
there are no drop down arrows to show/hide items
I cant click and drag fields to swap them.
So it looks like a Pivot but I cant manipulate it.

I need to analyse trends between a range of cells. The idea is to display an image of a triangle pointing up if the percentage between the current month and the previous is bigger, a triangle pointing down if the percentage has decreased or a rectangle if both months are the same. I've tried to build a userform to ask the user to input the range and then analyze the data...with no luck at all.

I have created this Excel schedule that is attached. The point of the schedule is to organize Jobs and Crew members. I have VBA code in, so when I calculate how long the job should take, the arrows next to the job will automatically extend. (This should all make sense if you take a look at the attachment.) The only problem is that my arrows do not extend the correct distance. In the attached file I have scheduled "James Lorenz" to do a job starting on tuesday, towards the bottom of the page I did my calculation that figures he should be on that job for 9.5 days. I would like the Arrow next to James' job to extend 9.5 days on the calender instead of 9.5 centimeters or whatever it is doing now.

Morning all. I'm trying to use VBA to generate autoshape arrows to track changes in values.
Something allong the lines of Column B (Jans data) C (Febs Data) E (autoshape arrow, green up, for improvement, or red downwards for a worsening).
The problem I'm having is postioning my autoshapes. The only way I can do it at present is to keep all columns and rows a standard width, and position using multiples of those.
Is there anyway to set the autoshape to the cell height and width, and position it within the boundries of the cell? This way I don't have to worry about rewiting my code every time I change a cell width?

From the Excel Toolbar - Data/Validation - I'm successfully using a validation list [drop down arrow] to be able to choose from a list and have whatever value I choose entered into the cell. So far so good. Everything working fine.
Here's the thing though, the list I'm referencing is a column with 50 rows. Sometimes there are many items in the column - up to 50, and sometimes only 3 items depending on other variables in the spreadsheet.
Because the list is referencing the entire 50 rows in the column (only way I know how to do it), during times when the column has only 3 items (3 rows), the drop down still shows a bunch of blank spaces (like 47 of them - tons of white space with a scroll bar window that runs down beyond where one can see), which is awkward (strange looking).
How do I program the validation list to only show as many cells within a range that have actual values within the cell, or where <> "" ? Or, in other words, to leave all blank spaces found in the list = NOT SHOWN.

I have a table A-AP 4-499 (row 4 being the column headers and 5 being the first row of data).
I'd like to remove some of the filter drop-down arrows as they aren't needed for some column headers and they also look unsightly.
This code works to remove all of the arrows:
Sub HideArrows()
Dim c As Range
Dim i As Integer
i = Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight).Column
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, i))
c.AutoFilter Field:=c.Column, visibledropdown:=False
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
However, I want to only remove arrows in the following column headers: A, G, I, J, K, M, N, O, P. I want to keep the rest.

I found this code for hiding an autofilter arrow for column 2. I would also like to hide the arrows for columns 35 through 50. Does anybody know how to do that? Thanks.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'hides all arrows except column 2
Dim c As Range
Dim i As Integer
i = Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight).Column
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, i))
If c.Column 25 Then
c.AutoFilter Field:=c.Column, _
Visibledropdown:=False
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am trying to make different colour arrows appear based on a set criteria, I am having issues with the hide/show amber part, it doesn't seem to be doing the "AND" part.
'Hide/Shows Green'
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A1").Value >= 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Arrow1").Visible = False
Else
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Arrow1").Visible = True
End If
'Hide/show Red'
If Range("A1").Value = 0 And Range("A1").Value

I'm trying to create a VBA macro that will compare two worksheets. If an item has "moved" then I want to draw an arrow on the new worksheet of where (the cell range) it was on the previous worksheet, to where it is now. Using Record Macro, I've noticed the coding looks like: ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(276#, 60.75, 309.75, 60.75).Select
How do I make sense of these numerical values? Is there a way to input cell ranges? Is there anything besides drawing arrows I can represent this phyiscally? (as opposed to with values)

I am looking to show Month Wise Trend Up/Down/Nuetral Arrows for the Achievement % for each month.
I want to show the Increase or Decrease trend of the % in the next month.
I have Baseline figures (count) and i have count of Mar, Apr, May months. (Column A)
I have calculated the Achievement % by 100%-(Actual/Target) (Column D, G, J for Mar, Apr, May Months)
I want to show the Increase or Decrease Trend Up/Down/Nuetral buttons either by the Achievement % or by the Total Incidents Each month compared to the Baseline Figures (Column A).
I tried to use Icons Set in Conditional Formatting but i was not able to do that.

I'm attempting something that I feel should be relatively easy using the conditional formatting icon sets (3 arrows coloured)
I have values in columns A and B. I simply want to compare the value in column B against that in A, and format column B accordingly
B > A (green arrow)
B = A (amber arrow)
B < A (red arrow)
The icon set rules only allow for > or >= conditions, and I can't get the desired results using the rules.
A
B
B (with conditional formatting)
1
10
20
Green arrow (increase)
2
20
20
Amber arrow (no change)
3
15
5
Red arrow (decrease)
4

I have a table with a filter applied. I don't want all of the column headers to be filtered because the data in those column is not suitable filter criteria. Is there anyway I can remove the individual arrows on the right hand side of the cells in question?

I want to catch if the user has deleted a row. There is a need to know when a row is deleted and what the data was in that row. So, what I'm trying to do if a row is deleted is to undo the action and then change the font of all data in that row to have the strikethrough effect. This will enable others looking at the workbook to know that the information in the row existed but is no longer relevent.
So, the code is something like this:If row deleted Then
Application.Undo
Target.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If

I'm not sure what it's called, but in a workbook that was sent to me, when a cell is selected a text box appears with instructions in them. This is not a normal comment and I found that I cannot select it, right click it, or anything to delete them. They can be annoying as they cover up other data when the cell is selected.

I am working on a workbook in which you can click a button on an index page to create a new sheet in the workbook with the name "meeting" and the number meeting that it is. The new sheet is then added to the index page. I am looking for a way to detect when a sheet is deleted so I can update my index page accordingly. I need to be able to know when a meeting is deleted so I can rename all meetings after that meeting and then update my index.
