i would like to put a command button on one Excel sheet that will force the formulas in another Sheet within the same file to be recalculated. I know how to put a command button, and i know some VBA. So can anyone give me a hint how this might work?
View 9 RepliesI need to have all of my number be "x10^-6", but Excel wants to make them, for instance, 7.66x10^-3, when I need it to read "7660x10^-6". How can I force excel to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains 50 worksheets named 1-50. I need to add more worksheets. all the formulas in the worksheets always refers to the previous worksheet.
How can i make a copy of the worksheet named 50, name it 51 and have all the formulas in worksheet 51 refer back to worksheet 50?
I am running Excel 2007 on Windows Vista Business 32 bit. Recently I have noticed that if I enter a formula into an empty, unsused cell, it is recognized as a formula. If I modify that formula, it is then recognized as text and does not work as a formula. The only way I can get the cell to recognize a formula is to delete the cell and start over. This same scenario does not occur on previously stored workbooks. I have checked all of the flags that I know about, including the Options function.

I would imagine the code would need to be with the OK button, so here is the code for it:
I'm importing data from CMS into excel and I then have several other sheets that harvest the raw data from the import and use it to calculate various things.
My problem is that when I import time data, if it is less than 1 hour (eg 39mins, 12 secs) it will format as :39:12 rather than 00:39:12 and for some reason the calculations in other sheets omit any data that does not contain the hours field.
I have tried formatting the cells as hh:mm:ss but this does not force inclusion of the hours field.
I guess what I'm asking is:
1. Is there a way of making excel include both data in the hh:mm:ss format and :mm:ss format in the calculation?
or
2. Is there a way of forcing data in the :mm:ss format to include an hours field populated by zeros?
I want to have a fullscreen application all the time, so for this I've added to things in my code:
1) Application.DisplayFullScreen = True in Workbook_Open
2) Same in WorkBook_WindowsResize
I open my workbook, it goes fullscreen. Until now all OK. However, if I press ESC or doubleclick on the topbar, it goes out of it.
Now the weird thing: if I click the "Restore window" button (which is right under the application maximize button that incidentally I have disabled) it snaps on fullscreen and THEN it keeps this state forever, even on ESC/doubleclick. Which is what I want.
So my question is: what does exiting from fullscreen and going back in change so that the workbook event starts triggering, and how I can replicate it programmatically? I've already tried WindowState = xlNormal followed by xlMaximize, it doesn't change anything.
recently excel 2003 began forcing the save as dialogue box when i try to close the workbook. I do not remember installing anything in particular on my machine when it started acting up.
I tried uninstalling office with Revo Uninstaller (gets rid of those pesky registry entries that the control panel add/remove leaves behind).
I reinstalled and I have the same issue.
Im thinking it is a macro of some sort as when I open the program holding down shift, it does not prompt me to save as when I exit. I do have one excel add in installed, but I have used it for many years without any issues.
I have created a scorecard and I have certain fields which i need completed prior to the coach submitting the scorecard.

I do not write code in it, just use it for school and work on the most basic levels. I am trying to suck an Excel document into SPSS ( Statistical Package for Social Science) for my Engineering internship. I am logging temperature using Omega Engineering, Inc temperature probes. When converting the data recorded on the probe to excel, it does something funny. I will try my best to explain what it is doing. If you format the cell to general, it gives you this (38917). Then simply changing the format to date I get this (7/19). How do I change this to make it so the date is the only memory in the cell. I don't need the other number in there because when I suck it into SPSS it only sees the 38917 number and not the date. I need the date to do my statistical analysis on the data.

We have one tab that is named "initial" where all of the information such as Serial number, connection type, etc. is entered.
We have another tab, named "final", that is automatically populated with this information. This final tab is locked from the end user.
Once the user finishes entering data into the "initial" tab they delete the rows below that are not used. Because these rows are now deleted the "final" sheet shows "#REF!" for all of these cells.
I have attached some screen shots as examples.
I would like to be able to put some logic in the formula to make the output on the "final" tab match the initial tab. Ideally, when the user deletes the rows that are not used on the "initial" tabs this controls the amount of rows seen on the "final" tab and we don't have all of the #REF! symbols.
Let's say my horizontal scrollbar is 2/3 of the way to the right and I'm currently viewing columns EA thru EZ. If I turn on VBA macro recording, the Excel auto-generated VBA macro code that gets saved when I press Ctrl-Home is Range("xx").Select, where "xx" upper-left-most cell based on frozen panes [e.g. Range("T3").Select]. While recording the macro, when I press Ctrl-Home my Excel view horizontally scrolls all the way to the left such that cell T3 is selected such that I'm now viewing columns T thru AS (which is what I want). If I start with the horizontal scrollbar 2/3 of the way to the right again and I use Range("T3").Select in a VBA macro, cell T3 gets selected like before -- but Excel doesn't horizontally scroll all the way to the left to where I would be viewing columns T thru AS; it just stays with columns EA thru EZ in view. Is there some way to force the horizontal scrollbar all the way to the left with VBA code? I tried searching the FAQ and didn't find anything there. I'm using Excel 2007 on a Windows7 PC.

the way my spreadsheet's set up so far is that each employee should have a goal of, say, 100 for how many people they need to sign up. But they each have specific geographic breakdowns in their turf, some of which might be bigger or smaller than others, but at the end should all add up to 100 for each employee.
It's not super hard to do since I just take a goal of 100, in this example, and multiply it by the percent of population of the area in their overall assignment and give them a goal for that area based on that. So if Philadelphia has 70% of their total population, Upper Darby has 20% of their total population, and Phoenixville has 10% of their total population -- the goals would come out like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 70
Upper Darby, Goal: 20
Phoenixville, Goal: 10
Ryan, Total Goal: 100
For some of the employees, that works out perfectly -- but based on the population sizes, the rounding sometimes gets a little off and it could end up like this:
Philadelphia, Goal: 71
Upper Darby, Goal: 19
Phoenixville, Goal: 11
Ryan, Total Goal: 101
For most employees, it ends up being dead-on 100 -- but there are some whose totals are at 98 or 99 or 101, and I was wondering if there was a way to force it to shave a point off or add a point on somewhere, pending on how close the decimal was when it rounded to make sure that it always ends up exactly on 100. (I'm using 'Data >> Subtotals' to get what's being represented above as "Ryan, Total Goal.")
In a multi sheet workbook (Excel 2007), could some one tell me how to force sheet 'Main' to be displayed?

if possible I need the code to be just inserted into the sheet code. Maybe were when the user moves to another cell it changes them then.
Is it possible to lock a cell so that the user must enter the number manually as opposed to using a formula.
There is a cell on one of our spreadsheets that the user should be hand entering the numbers from the general ledger this is done to ensure that the general ledger balance is the same as the spreadsheets totals. However most of the user insert a formula that just copies the number from above into this cell that should be hand entered.
I have written a custom function which is called in lots of cells. It had an error so I modified it. But the modification did not automatically trigger recalculation in the cells where it is used. Neither did F9 (manual recalculation). The only thing that did is hitting F2 for the cell then ENTER. But what a pain to do that for every cell it's used.
View 5 Replies View Relatedstarting to dabble in the VBA coding, now. I tried finding this solution...but nothing quite the same. I have a spreadsheet with a couple tabs. The main tab is a calculation worksheet that pulls in, and performs various calculations on, data from the other couple tabs. This main tab will be the only one that most of my users will see (query and other data tabs will be hidden.)
What this workbook does is calculate accruals for our consultants, at the end of every month (period.) I am trying to put in code that, when activated by a button, will copy the entire main ("Accrual Worksheet") tab as a new tab, at the end of the workbook....as a period backup to the calculations on the main tab.
I created the below
===========================================================
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim LastSheet As Integer
Dim aSht As Worksheet
Dim Test4 As String
Dim NameXists As Long
If MsgBox("Are You Sure You Wish to Finalize? This will copy sheet, without formulas, as backup.", vbYesNo, "Update Confirm") = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
Else
=============================================================
This seems to work great......EXCEPT (you knew one was coming), I only really want to copy the sheet as data/format only. I don't want the copy tab to have any VBA code, or formulas, on it. I just want a picture image of the "Accrual Worksheet", as reference to the activity for that period. In the following period, the same "Accrual Worksheet" will be used to work on the next month's activities.....and the data on that tab will change. So we need to store the final calculation, for further reference.
I have a macro that imports a text file. I then have summary sheets that reference to the sheets with the imported text file details. This is a task I complete every month.
The next month I delete the sheets with the imported text file details before importing current month's details. But when I do that it screws up my references.
Here's an example of a reference with previous months' imported text file details:
= SUM('X'!$I$1:$I$3000)/2+SUM('Y'!$I$1:$I$3000)/2
When I delete the sheets with the imported text file details and import current month's details, my reference suddenly looks like this:
=SUM(#REF!$I$1:$I$3000)/2+SUM(#REF!$I$1:$I$3000)/2
What can I do to prevent the summary sheet from messing up my original references?
I have a workbook with a worksheet called Summary that has formulas that refer to other worksheets (say A, B, and C) in the same workbook.
What I want to do (with VBA because I have to do this many times) is copy this Summary worksheet into several other workbooks, all of which also have their corresponding worksheets A, B, and C.
I do *not* want the copied Summary worksheet's formulas to refer to the old workbook. If I copy the worksheet by hand, this is what happens.
Instead I want the copied worksheet's formulas to reference the worksheets of the workbook they are now in.
I have a workbook with multiple sheets that contain formulas that I would like to copy to another workbook or new workbook with the same sheet names but without the formulas.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is any way to "force" a number to have three decimal places instead of two and still have that number valued as a number for use in formulas later (like AVERAGE, etc.).
What I have is a combination of HLOOKUPs, IF statements, and Conditional Formatting.
I have a Master Grades sheet and individual Class sheets. I use an HLOOKUP, matching a Student Number in both sheets, and looking in the Class sheet for the P/F indicator. If the indicator is a F, the HLOOKUP is to return the Final Grade from the Class sheet and input that into the Master Grades sheet, forced to three decimal places (whereas the numbers in the Class sheets are at two decimal places) If the indicator is P, the HLOOKUP simply returns the Final Grade from the Class sheet and inputs it into the Master Grades sheet with two decimal places.
I have the failure grades forced to three decimal places so that the Conditional Formatting in the Master Grades sheet highlights the failed grades for teachers and anyone else can see right away that a student failed, but the number still allows the Master Grades sheet to calculate the overall AVERAGE for the student as well as the AVERAGE for that class.
If any of this is not quite clear, please ask and I can further expand on what I am doing.
Here is the code I have right now that is not working correctly (and I know why it's not): ....
Basically I have a template from two different worksheets and I am making one sheet the "master sheet" and the other sheet is filled in automatically from the master sheet. I understand how to get this basic function to work so here is my real problem...
I would like my sheet to look like this repeated 2000 times...
'sheet1'A16
'sheet1'A16
'sheet1'A17
'sheet1'A17
etc.
Every time I try to drag the formulas down to go 2000 rows it starts doing this...
'sheet1'A16
'sheet1'A17
'sheet1'A18
'sheet1'A19
etc.
How do I get this formula to repeat like I have shown in my desired example?

Your formulas must contains absolute cell references, other wise Excel will attempt to update them to the new cell references when copying/pasting.
If you "cut", rather than copy, Excel will maintain the original cell references in the formula.
Both of these questions are well within the experience level of a user with above average skill level as your profile shows. Please lower it (before one of the Admins does it for you) to a more realistic level.

Well cutting is a nifty trick, thank you for that, I don't believe you quite understood my first question.
Lets use my calculator for instance. Using something it has designated K (for no apparent reason) I can enter a formula, such as K=*2-4, and after that is entered every number I then type and press equals to it will run that formula and spit out an answer. (after entering that function, if I press "5" "equals" it will give me "6") Now what I'm wondering is if excel has a "K" function that I can assign to certain cells, namely a column, so that whenever a figure is typed in any of the cells in that column, the required operation is done, namely *.9685.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a advanced filter that works pretty much close to how I want it to. However I would like it to either cancel the new filter or copy everything if it finds 0 matches.
If the copied location is blank it breaks my sheet. So I need to find a way for it to never be blank, either by canceling it, copying everything, or finding some other way I haven't thought of.
Also for some reason my Advanced Filter does NOT Ignore blank "OR" cells. If I place a word in the top cell, then leave the bottom blank, it searches for the top cell or anything and I end up with everything. Its quite frustrating.
