I am trying to create a floating bridge bar chart.
Here is my data and I will try to describe as accurately as I can.
FY 2004 operating margin = 14.6% (while FY 2005 and FY 2006 = 11.2% => So the difference is 340bps)
The "bridge" back to 14.6% = 90 basis points for Jimmy'Z, 30 basis points for stock option expense, 30 bps for marketing -- that's 150 bps of the 340 and I'm trying to quantify the rest of the bridge but is there a way to show this in excel with floating bars - that is to say the 14.6% bar will touch the axis but the other 3 data points are not touching the X axis but are in the air in a step formation... ?
I have created a chart in a chart sheet (using VBA) - all well and good. Now I notice that if I place the mouse pointer over any of the pie slices, I see text similar to the following
Series 1 point "Swedbank" Value: nnnnnn (n%)
Now obviously (?), the name Swedbank is from the source data and the nnnnn (n%) are the values to be plotted. I'm wondering 2 things Can I "format" that text in any way, for example, so it shows Swedbank, value: nnnnn (n%)If I can, can I also format the numbers so that'll end up something like 1 234 567
I've created a Pivot Chart in which I want to display travel by various folks to mulitple sites. The Site field is a Page field. If I set the Pivot Chart to a Custom -- Floating Bar style it displays fine, but if I change the Page field selection the chart reverts back to a stacked bar style.
I've tried setting the default chart type to Floating Bar (this doesn't take), and naming a custom style that is Floating Bar (and setting the pivot chart to this custom style -- but again the style does not hold on a change to the Page field).
I ran into this a few years ago and wrote some event macros to reformat the chart when the sheet is activated and when it calculates, but it seems there should be a simpler (built-in) way. Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to make the Floating Bar style stick in a pivot chart without resorting to VBA updating?
I'm trying to produce step charts like Andy Pope does on his web site using the area chart method. http://www.andypope.info/charts/stepchart.htm. This involves duplicating each of the values in each data series, which is tedious if there are a lot of points. Plus the fact that the area series is offset by 1 from the axis series. Can anyone think of a formula to do this? There are plenty of posts here about deleting duplicates, but I couldn't find much about creating duplicates. I can duplicate row numbers using =CEILING(ROW(),2)/2
I don't know what exactly is happening, but every step of the macro is happening every 1 second. Literally, the BPM is 60. It will execute a step in the macro every second, when in other macro's i've made, it zips right through as if it was on fast forward.
I can then enter some data in cells C4, D4, E4, F4, G4
What i want now to happen is when the value in C4 matches a value anywhere in C5:G50 then i want that cell to have green background etc.
I have found this code but it does not seem to work
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim icolor As Integer Dim c As Range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C5:G50")) Is Nothing Then For Each c In Intersect(Target, Range("C5:G50")) Select Case c Case Is = "C4" icolor = 5 Case Is = "D4" icolor = 5 Case Is = "E4" icolor = 5 Case Is = "F4" icolor = 5 Case Is = "G4" icolor = 5 Case Else icolor = xlNone End Select Intersect(Rows(c.Row), Range("C:C,D:D,E:E,F:F,G:G")).Interior.ColorIndex = icolor Next c End If End Sub
I have a textbox that constantly shows the contents of cell B1, a changing cell, as it is a total formula (to make my textbox display the contents of cell B1 I clicked on the textbox and then entered =B1 in the formula bar).
Trouble is, my textbox scrolls with the rest of my sheet and soon disappears from the screen. I need it to float on the screen and remain always visible when the sheet scrolls far up or down. How can I achieve that?
Or is there any other floating object that will constantly display the changing contents of cell B1? I’ve tried a textbox within a UserForm (which does float and remains always visible) but I cannot make that textbox display the contents of B1.
I wish to have a floating link in large spreadsheets that will always be visible and when clicked will return to a particular cell in that same spreadsheet.
Is there any code available for a floating Message Box instead of Standard Message where by the user can scroll the sheet and decide to choose "Yes" or "No".
if it is possible to create a floating Tab like you get on websites, so ehwn you move the spreadsheet to the left or right, the tab/shape with words in moves with you.
I was asked by a co worker if there is a way to make a data table float b/w tabs or in other words, it would always be visible no matter what tab or location you are in a workbook.
My first answer was no, that he would need to create that table on each tab and freeze the panes so that it was visible no matter where he was in his workbook.
cell A1 contains the numeric value: 3961.3 cell A2 contains the follwing: ="z equals "&B3-3933.7
which i would expect to give me: "z equals 27.6"
BUT, it gives me: "z equals 27.600000004"
which is awefully strange becos the 4 comes form nowhere...
what makes some sort of sense is that if the value in A1 is changed to 3961.4 or 3961.5, then the final decimal 4 in A2 changes into a 3, and then a 2.
when the value in A1 is changed to xxxx.7 the number in cell A2 becomes what one would expect it to be.
how do i get rid of these strange decimals???
(formatting cells, setting number of significant figures does not work. i naturally already tried that)
I am trying to get the first column to float down as you scroll down the spreadsheet to fill in information. How do I get that going. I can't figure it out.
I use excel 08, computers viewing the files are 03.
is it possible to display the files open (the contents of the Windows drop down menu from standard toolbar) in a display that can be viewed at all times on a workstation. My reason for this is to monitor the files I have open to avoid trying to open a second copy and getting error reports from macros within. These error reports seem to frighten some of the users here and rather than read them and act accordingly they go for coffee and say thier system is down. It is my intention once I can get a system working, to introduce these people to monitor what they already have open, and more importantly what they do not need open at any particular time.
i have a userform which displays a textbox which shows a variance in price terms based on a sheet which has live data via dde.
I would like to turn this userform into some kind of floating monitor if possible. At the moment - once you fire up the userform - the price in the textbox is fixed and does not change with the cell which fills the textbox on the userform. The only way is if you close the userform and re-open - then you will see the current price. I would like to keep this userform floating so that you can still select other cells on the sheet. Is this possible?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("price").Range(ActiveCell.Address) If .Value = "" Then Range("D31").Select Me.TextBox1.Value = "No Trade Selected"...................
Is it possible to display all of the bars from a floating bar chart on the same line. The effect would be a single horizontal bar that turns "On" and "Off" from left to right. I'm not sure of the application, but it might represent when a room is occupied over time. I think one can create this effect using Andy Pope's "Column Chart with Varying Width Bars" charting technique (provided on his web site http://www.andypope.info/charts.htm ), but is there a more direct approach?
Need to code to create a custom floating menu which appears on opening the workbook. It works brilliantly, but I'd like to adapt it so that I can create a floating toolbar, which is fully expanded upon opening, where the button faces are plain text which I designate. Let's suppose the macros I want the buttons to trigger are called MacroA and MacroB, and that the text on the buttons should read "Do A" and "Do B".
Sub Create_Menu() Dim MyBar As CommandBar Dim MyPopup As CommandBarPopup Dim MyButton As CommandBarButton Delete_Menu 'make sure commandbar isn't already running Set MyBar = CommandBars.Add( Name:="My Menu", _ Position:=msoBarFloating, temporary:=True) With MyBar .Top = 175 .Left = 850 Set MyPopup = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) With MyPopup .Caption = "My Tools" 'change to suit....................
I'm trying to run a loop that doesn't go through every value between the lower and upper bounds so am using Step at the end of the For line:
For j = 0 To s Step loop_step 'Does stuff in here - not relevant Next j
The amount that is being stepped through is set as a variable previously - called loop_step, and works fine for small values (e.g. stepping through 10 at a time) but comes up with an error for 1000. I haven't checked how large the value needs to be before it creates an error, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a limit on the number you can step through? Otherwise I have no idea what's causing this problem!
I get a report that I have to manually edit everyday. I've done some VBA, but not sure where to start with this one.
The attachment has two sheets, first is what I get and the second is what I want. I'll explain the process i have to go thru now and maybe I can get some help to automate it.
First -Add the tech number to the first column for each job for each tech. 7988 us the first tech number.
-Then delete every row that isn't a job. -Add a column with the install date.(report data near the top.) -Add a column and populate it with the system, which is the sheet name. Thats why its example.
