Filling Cells Based On Previous Row Information (text)
Mar 22, 2012
I have a column of data (Column T) which has about 10 different words in it (varieties of fruit). What I want to achieve is based on the data in column T I want to fill Column U with information, let me put it in an example.
Column T has the following words in 2000 rows. Thompson, Crimson, Sable, Superior, Midnight, Ralli.
If Cell T4 for example has 'Thompson' or 'Superior' I want cell U4 to say 'white', but if cell T4 has 'Crimson' or 'Ralli' I want it to say 'Red'. If it has Midnight I want it to say 'black'.
I think this can be done using a vlookup maybe? I don't have to go down 2000 rows to fill this information in.
I want to make things easier for myself when filling in my worksheets by having certain cells autofill based on a product number.
So I have my main worksheet and I have my product information sheet. When I type in the product number in cell 13C, I want it to auto fill cell 13B with the product name which is located in collumn A on the product info sheet, but dependent upon that product number. Collumn B in my product info sheet has all of the product numbers. From there I would need 13G on my main worksheet to fill in with Collumn D from the product sheet, but again dependent upon that product number.
There are more that need to fill yet, but I can figure out what to do once I have a starting point with the above I believe.
I have a sheet that has been created with a pivott table, and as such has a lot of blank cells in the description column, and I want to do a little macro to fill all of these. Basically, what I was thinking, was that the macro finds the last cell with data in it in column A. Then it moves up one cell and checks if its empty. If it is empty, then it copies the information from the cell immediatly below then moves up one and does it all again. If it is not empty then it just moves up one cell and does it all again.
Wasn't sure what the easy way to do this is. I'm trying to have a drop down menu where choosing a certain item triggers specific information to fill multiple cells. For instance, choosing Work Contacts in a drop down menu brings up four different people's names in cells B43-46 and their phone number in C43-46 and email in D43-46. Choosing another item for instance, Personal Contacts, would reveal a different set of four names and information.
A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I/J/K April 2008 / August 2008/Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr/May/Jun/Jul/Aug/Sept/Oct....
How can I get excel to fill in a constant number say '3' automatically based on the date range in column A and B. For example, in this case Since the date range is from April to August how can I get excel to automatically fill in 3 for apr/may/jun/jul/aug
I am trying to create an advanced spreadsheet in excel that caters for people who really need to be told exactly what to do and what not to do. So based on the selection in column A I want to disable and change the background colour of some cells as follows (but only disable the cells on the same row):
columnA = Number then disable cells D, F, G and change to red columnA = Link then disable cells E, F, G and change to red columnA = Image then disable cells D, E and change to red
I have a customer data base going across each row about payments/address/DOB etc. When i go to alter some information in certain cells the rows become uneven and the information for customer B1 will be for C1 instead. I'm not familiar with excel but what i did notice when scrolling down i saw an outline of uneven rows.
I have found a list of newspaper in an excel file and at the end of the text it is written the name of the language e.g Bangladesh News 24 (Dhaka) [In Bangla], The Bangladesh Monitor [In English]. I would like to distinguish the names ended with [In Bangla] and in [In English]. How can i distinguish this two different type of data with VBA?
I have created a gradebook template so that I can keep track of my assignments as I get them and keep on top of my grades. Any way that I can code excel to work so that if my current average in the class ever drops below 70%, I want the color of the text to change to red to alert me that the grade is too low and needs to come up. I'm new to using VBA in excel and not sure how to do it or what to code.
if a macro or private macro is necessary, I would need basic instruction how to use those as well (I mentioned private macro as I understand they automatically run whenever worksheet info is changed, which I would like in this example.)
I'm simply trying to change fonts in cells based on the inputs of other cells. Obviously, using conditional formatting doesn't allow for this.
For my example, assume the word "MrExcel" is in cells D2, F2, H2, J2, L2, N2, P2 and R2. If I type different font names (Times New Roman, Arial, Bookman, etc.) in the cells to the immediate right of each word "MrExcel," -- cells E2, G2, I2, K2, M2, O2, Q2 and S2 -- I would like the "MrExcel" word in each corresponding cell changed to the corresponding font to the right. I would like the ability to do this for up to 15 different fonts. There will be many rows to this worksheet I need to use this process for.
Is this possible? I'm in a bit of a jam and have exhausted my knowledge of formulas in that they won't work in this case ... I'm assuming I need to delve into the unknown land (to me) of macros, private macros, or VBA.
1) 4 values contains in each row based on the values from those cells the max value will display.
2) if more than 2 cells have empty,NR or NA text means the entire row has to delete.
3) if 2 or more that means 3 cells having values the empty cell,NR or NA cell will place value with the condition of macro that is 75% of other values which is maximum among them.
try and achive is when a user selects a item from the 1st Combobox the 2nd Combobox is the populated with the cell that is to the right of the selected item.
for Example if a user selects AAB from combobox1,, Combobox2 should populate with Belly.
I have attached an example file.. Basically I want the text in a range to change to red if one cell="Description".
Also, I want a cell's text to turn blue if it's corresponding data in the row says "Click on Title to Follow Link"
The example file explains it a lot better..
Thanks for the help.. Sorry if this may seem like a duplicate post but I was not able to get any of the examples I searched for to work that others have posted.. Also, maybe conditional formatting would be an option here but I could not get it to work as it will only meet the first condition that comes across thats true...
I am trying to create a formula that will change the cell color in a range of cells in the row. I want the color to change based on the information in a particular cell appearing on a different sheet. What sheet the information is on determines the color the cells change to.
Example: I have 4 sheets I am working with. We will call them A; B; C; and D. I would like the color of cells A5-I5 on sheet D to change to red when the information in cell A5 from Sheet D shows up in any cell in column A on sheet A. If the information from cell A5 sheet D appears in any cell in column A from Sheet B then the color will be yellow, etc.
I have 2 combo boxes dependent on one combo box. When I select an item from the dropdown list in ComboBox1, I want the corresponding data attached to ComboBox1 to be available in ComboBox 2 and ComboBox3.
Example: ComboBox1 ComboBox2 ComboBox3 John Male English
Data for ComboBox1 are in column A2 (Names), data for ComboBox2 are in column B2 (Gender) and data for ComboBox3 are in column C2 (Language spoken).
I chanced upon a code written by royUK from this Excel Forum, which works well for 2 ComboBoxes. This is the code:
Option Explicit Dim rSource As Range Private Sub ComboBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
I am trying to auto-fill a column based on certain criteria - in other words, fill in blank cells based on a cell above, just a little more complex version. I have added an attachment to give everyone a visual of what I am describing and then maybe this explanation will make a little more sense.
First, if you open the attachment, the left hand side is a small example of what I have. The middle is the condition. And the right hand side is what I'd like to see happene.
In the example, I am matching up a time and when I hit that time, I am adding on a certain number of miles per hours based on the condition and the cell above. Meanwhile, I am filling in the blank cells with the condition until the condition changes. So a cell is incremented based on the condition and gets its value from the cell above.
On a sheet named "Matrix" I have rows of data in columns A, B, and C. I have the following code in a ComboBox that will show names from column B of the Matrix sheet.
I have an excel sheet with 2 tabs. 1st tab provides the data for downtime of a manufacturing line. The last column (shift) is blank and needs to be filled based in shift schedule in tab2
On the 2nd tab I have the shift schedule, which tell which shift is working on particular days
Month Date 7:00am- 7:00 pm 7:00pm - 7.00am
Feb 1 Shift A Shift C
[Code] ........
Is it possible to write a macros that will look at the Date and time from tab 1 and assign the correct shift number in the shift column. For example the 1st row of tab 1 reads (Month=Feb, Date = 3:55:59 AM) so according to shift schedule it would fill C shift.
I have lots of data and to assign every event to shift # manually is not possible. So i wanted to know if there is a macros i can use to make life easier and learn at the same time
I'm working on some data dealing with time fields, and I need to have them counted in 15 minute intervals.
For example, one of the entries listed in a column has an event starting at 02:25:00 and ending at 02:55:00 (30 minutes). Along the top row are times listed in 15-minute intervals, e.g. 13:00:00, 13:15:00, 13:30:00, etc. In the corresponding cells, if the entry took place within a particular interval, I need it to say "1", otherwise have it say "0" or "-" or something denoting no event.
An IF statement was used, but it didn't seem to work.
If that's a little hard to follow, check the example attachment for a better idea of what I'm trying to describe.
In the example spreadsheet, Row 2 (manually typed in) is what I'm looking for. Row 3 is the (failed) attempt to use the IF statement.
I am creating an excel file for my company. This file contains 18 headers (from Columns A to R), all of which are mandatory to be completed.
This file is used by several other colleagues with the intention to update our records almost on a daily basis, and saved by them daily before being checked by me.
I would like to know if there is a macro to be used in order to prevent them from saving the file if all the fields are not completed. (ie. A5 to R5)
This function should only run right up to the next blank row.
Eventually, I would like the users to complete all cells from A5 to R5.
Should a single cell not be completed, an error message will pop-up.
When the next person accesses the file to enter their data underneath, it will again, not allow them to save until all the mandatory fields are filled out.
I have looked at another very similar link but it does not work and I do not know how to tweak it.
The example given is for when the data is in Column A.
The headers on my file are on Row 1 (Column A to R).
Mandatory Cells and knowing to fill in the next row!
I have a spreadsheet that is designed to aid a production department to complete and track their orders. I need two things from this.
1) I have an order of 500 baskets. Baskets are stacked, but the heights vary from 16 to 20. I need the spreadsheet to be able to work this out for me. Example: 500 baskets 20 high = 25 stacks. 500 baskets 16 high = 31 stacks and 4 baskets.
Excel would work the last equation out as 31.25. How can I get excel to use the remainder (in this case 0.25) to work out the required number of baskets?
2) Using the above, I need the sheet to fill out a certain area with information. So, if the order is 500 baskets at 20 high, I need 25 of the cells in the specific area to display the number 20. Likewise, if the order is 500 baskets at 16 high, I need 31 cells to display 16 and the remaining cell to show 4.
Got two columns one with group name and other with value. given below is the data which i have
Retail group25635012030Technology group24520520245Wholesale group24334024450 the green cells are blank , i want them to fill up by the group name i.e first four rows belong to retail group, so i want retail group to be filled in the blank cells upto technology group from thereon technology group to be filled in till whole sale group.
formula using if's and vlookup's to populate a calendar with x's for day a person is gone. however the last couple of people that are gone are not being marked on the calendar even though i use the exact same formula (except for cell numbers and such) for previous, working entries. Here is my formula
I have a document to track funding and would like to be able to auto-populate individual task sheets within the workbook based on a task drop-down. So if I choose Safety from the "Task Area" drop down it would auto populate the full row from the Master Sheet to the Safety Sheet. I have uploaded my document so you can better understand.
What I would like to do is to take the name values in column B and fill that into the region of blank cells below. I know that a special cells function could probably do this paired with a looping structure. I'm new to VBA and am trying to learn it so that I can use it comfortably.
I am trying to use the below code to fill a combobox with unique values. It works great except I can't figure out a way to replace BLOCK 1 with BLOCK 2. I want to use BLOCK 2 to populate mgNames so that only specific values are filled into mgNames. Currently BLOCK 1 just fills mgNames with an entire range without any conditions. how I can get BLOCK 2 to work in the way i'm intending it to?
Code: Sub findNames() Dim mgNames As Variant Dim myCollection As New Collection
I'm looking for a formula that when copied down in row D would automatically fill in what is in colum D above if columns A:C match.
So,
If A25:C25=A1:C24 (for example A25:C25 = A8:C8) then D25 will automatically fill in the content of D8. Then next it would be A26:C26 match A1:A25 and so on.....
