Formatting Unknown Ranges Based On Contents Of A Column
May 19, 2009
i can't seem to figure this one out.
I attached a file showing how i am trying to format data (the second tab).
The big issue is the counting to format. (the formatting itself is obviously easy.)
The number of columns is not always standard so i need to count for it.
the number of rows in each "room number" is also not always standard, which means i also need to count for those.
If anyone has had experience trying to do something like this i would appreciate the help.
i know it is possible because i had one that someone had given me years ago, unfortunately i lost it in a hard drive failure...also years ago.
if it isn't obvious what i am trying to do, let me know and i will try to be clearer.

I'd like to format (colour fill) C1 when H1 contains the word "Bills"
I've tried to "use a formula to determine which cells to format" but it keeps using absolute references ($H$1).
Ideally I'd like to apply the "format" to the entire column C.
I did think I'd be able to use OFFSET but it's not working.

I have a worksheet that I've applied conditional formatting to which works very nicely apart from when I use the formatting and apply it to a cell based on the contents of another.
What I don't understand is when I put a formula in cell b1 to read =$a1="yes" and format accordingly it works. So when I type in "YES" in to cell a1 ,cell b1 is highlighted. When I type in "NO" the B1 cell isn't highlighted which is what i would expect. IF however I delete what ever is in cell A1 the cell B1 is still highlighted.

I need help creating a macro that will search through my excel spreadsheet and for every instance where column A isn't empty it should cut a range of columns from that row and paste them in a different range of columns in the row before it. It should then delete the row that it cut the columns from and keep searching until it has done this for the whole worksheet. I can modify which range of columns are needed, but it has been so long since I've worked with excel macros that I haven't been able to do it.

I have converted a table from PDF to Excel format....
The table consists of longf columns with rows of data in each column.
Once converted to Excel format, the columns become single cells with say 100 rows in each cell.
My question is this:Can I reformat these larger cells such that each row within the long single cell gets its own single cell.
This would enable me to copy paste the data into a spreadsheet and avoid the data entry....

I need to make named ranges from an unknown number of columns(at least 1) each with an unknown number of rows. Each column has the name of the named range as the first row, and then a variable number of rows containing part numbers.
I can do it 1 by 1, but id rather do it in a loop so that blanks dont cause errors. there will be different people using versions of this sheet with different model/part number information What i've tried: Count number of colums with row 1 containing data (11 max, which is more than will ever be used) add into array(I know i dont really need to add into the array, but i might use it later for some other code). The problem i'm having is finding the range of rows that need added to the named dynamic range and adding it.
modelcount = Range("G7") 'G7 (for now) contains =COUNTA(H1,I1,J1,etc)
For i = 1 To modelcount
Redim Preserve Models(0 To i)
Models(i) = Cells(1, i + 7)
Range1 = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
lastRow = Cells(rows.Count, i + 7).End(xlUp).Row
Range2 = Cells(lastRow, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
Reference = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Models(i), _
RefersTo:="=OFFSET(Reference,0,0,counta(Range1:Range2),1)", Visible:=True
Next i
This gets me the range i need, but doesnt create the named range properly. If i go to insert>names>define, the named ranges are created, but they dont relate to the data in any columns. It shows the variable names rather than the cell range the variable represents.

Any way write a conditional format formula to shade a cell based on two ranges.
Here is what I need:
cell b4 should be colored in if n4:xfd4 = today's date AND n3:xfd3 = "Time Off". The part I am having trouble with is that it should only shade if today and time off are in the same column.
Here is an example:
This one should shade B4(note: Today is 08/13/2013):
time off
late
08/13/2013
08/10/2013
This one should not:
late
time off
08/13/2013
08/10/2013
This is what I came up with so far, but it shades the cell if either show up in the entire range:
=AND(MATCH($G$1,$n$4:$XFD$4),MATCH($H$1,$n$3:$XFD$3),1)
Note: g1 contains =today() and h1 = "Time off"
So formula is wrong.

i edited this thread becuase I realized why I was getting the wrong results, however, I am completely clueless on how I need to accomplish the task below.
I need to apply formatting based on five named ranges on another sheet. if the values in cell F1:F1000 appears in the named range "datestore" and the corresponding value in range h2:h1000 appears any of the named ranges "date1" through "date5" I would like it to fill the cell yellow.

I have a worksheet that has a number in cell K5 - the number is generated on "file open" code and is custom formatted as "TN"0000. Thus 1 appears as TN0001, 2 as TN0002 and so on. I am trying to save a copy of the workbook based on the this cells contents i.e. TN0001.xls, TN0002.xls etc. but the files are saved as 1.xls or 2.xls. The code I am using is
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:DataExcelFORMSDelivery Note" & Range("K5") & ".xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, ReadOnlyRecommended:=True, CreateBackup:=False
I know I must make reference to format within the above....but how? if try something like
" & Format(Range("K5").Value, ("TN""0000")) & ".xls"
I get TN00000.xls

I need to have a conditional format that will adjust based on percentage ranges.
1% to 25% would be shaded red
26% to 50% would be shaded Orange
51% to 100% would be shaded Green
I was hoping to reference another cell and have the formatted cell reflect the conditional format. I dont think that's possible, so I can include a percentage in another cell and have that highlighted.

I have a report that is generated from a manufacturing process that looks like the example below. the report is 40 pages long when all the data is printed. i am looking for a way to only print this range if a dimension is "out of tolerance". if the dimension is within tolerance, there is always the "garbage" text of plus and minus. if every row is "within tolerance" in the range the cells in the OutTol column would all contain the "garbage" text but it will not always be identical. so, in summary, actual OutTol values = print and all "garbage" = not printed.

I need to clear the contents of a columns G and H starting 11th row based on what is there in F column. The macro should check for last non-empty cell in column F starting F11 (assume it finds F30 to be last non-empty cell), then it should clear the contents of G11 to G30, H11 to H30.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet teachers schedule for a small school with 8 teachers. I have assigned a number to each teacher (1 - 8) so that a number typed in a cell in Column E will cause a teachers name to appear in a cell in Column G. The ranges are E3:E20 and G3:G20. I hope to find a Macro that will display each teachers name in a different color.

I have a list that is streets and addresses. All contained in column A. Cell A1 is the street name and then Column A3 is the street number. This repeats down column A for almost 1000 street names. I need to fill column B3 with the street name, as well as B4, B5, B6, etc until the street name changes. I was trying to do this with an if..then but couldn't get it to work. I also tried to work on a do.. loop looking for the change from a string to number. But my programming is a little rusty. If anyone can help I was be forever grateful. I mean the alternative is to sit here and copy and paste all day.

I've been working on a spreadsheet and these forums have been a great help. I'm now at the very last section and, surprise surprise, it's also the hardest!
I'm creating a stock trade recording sheet. I have a userform ask the user to enter a date, a time, the number of stock purchased, and the price of the stock. These are then entered in a new row.
Now what I want to do is have summary cells which say how many stocks were purchased and the total profit made for each day. Since each time is given its own row, I can't know in advance which rows to sum over. I also don't know on which days a trade was made. So a summary cell should only exist if a trade was made that day.
Could I do something like.... check if the date matches then sum over all the values for that date? So if column A has the dates, can I say "Search which rows in column A have this date" then "for those rows, sum column C"?
Also, how would I create a a row for each traded date's summary cell and enter the date in it? I've attached a spreadsheets which manually demonstrates what I want to do (no macros) and a spreadsheet with what I have so far (basic macros).
Any and all help much appreciated, I just need to get my head around creating and dealing with variable ranges. Is that a really advanced task? I don't think this is a one line solution so please bear with me while I make mistakes!

I have a spreadsheet with four columns of text.
In column A, i have multiple levels followed by a letter (i.e. Level 1A, Level 1B etc).
In column B, i have some other details and then so on and so forth.
In column C/E/G lets say, i want to copy the information from column A to show only items that appear as "Level 1" (not "Level 1A", i only want it to check for things without the letter at the end). Then the same in column E but with "Level 2" and so on and so forth.
Column A...Column B-Column C...Column D--Column E...Column F--Column G...Column H
Level 1A....Metals----Level 1A....Metals ---Level 2A....Integral---Level 3A....Television
Level 1B....Energy----Level 1B....Energy--- Level 2B....Flowers---Level 3B....Kitchen
Level 1C....Synergy---Level 1C...Synergy--Level 2C....Full
Level 2A....Integral---Level 1D....Orders
Level 2B....Flowers
Level 1D....Orders
Level 3A....Television
Level 3B....Kitchen
Level 2C....Full
I also have data in Column B that is to do with column A (i.e "Level 1A" - "Metals") and so on with the following columns. I want the items that are in column B to also move over to column D when the things from Column A move to Column C, so at the end it will appear as below so it appears as above.

I'm using excel 2010 and windows XP with a moderate amount of experience tinkering with macro programming. I know what I need is very doable but I can't get my head around what the code would look like. I must not be wording my searches correctly because most of what I'm getting for results are iterative programs based on a cells value which isn't what I need.
I'm trying to build a macro that will check a cell (C3) and based on the contents of that cell copy a column (I) to one of 12 different columns (K:V). So if the value in C3 is 1 it should copy I to K, if the value is 2 it should copy I to L, and so on.

I have a spreadsheet that lists dates in row 6, columns V through BE. We use these dates to log attendance for kids, so under each date there may be one of many symbols, such as "x" if the student was there. I would like to create a list of the dates that meet one of two criteria: either blank or containing "WR". So, let's say column Z is blank and Y has "WR" in it. In column FB I would like a list of all of the dates that were blank or WR, so I would want the dates contained in row 6 for Y and Z. Is there a function that will 1) look for a blank or WR across a row, 2) find the associated date for that blank in row 6, and 3) write the in another column in the form of a list, each date separated by commas? Here is an example of my information. I would like for a function to automatically make the list in column FB for any dates that are blank or contain "WR".

I have a list of research material based off postcodes, travel time in those areas and what I want to do is rank the the travel times in those ares within a third column.
What I have so far in design terms is this:
Origin Base
Time
Time Ranking
AB10
00:10:00
AB10
00:12:00
[Code]...
So basically I'm trying to have column c look at a and check for the lowest value in b against all other rows that have the same constant value e.g. AB10 in column a. Then to distinguish them somehow for example marking the first '1'. Also then to be able to do it for second and thrid ranking value.
What do people think? Is this doable? I think maybe a min if array but keep tripping on the fact that the ranges are all locked in a single column and inconstant sizes.
The data comes in this format and is quite large so manual editing would be a last resort.

Trying to sum up a column that has an unknown length. This is a canned Excel form that is saved within a software system and is used to create customized documents. Usually, I would enter the table name.field name in a cell to pull the data from various parts of the system.
In this case, that data resides in AA234 of my customized Excel sheet. When the user retrieves this doc from the system, the data could run several rows, starting from AA30 to AA255. So, in my "Total" cell, I've entered =SUM(AA1:AA255), so it will just add up whatever is in the column, regardless of how long it runs upon document generation. When I try to pull the document, I get "=SUM(#REF!)" in that field instead.

I'm trying to define the last row in a column which is determined from a find command. It's quite a large sub, and the rest is working properly, so I'll just post the (still rather large) troubling section.
'startingPoint is declared as a range. Destbook, reporttarget and FullControlName all exist.
'this sets StartingPoint to a one cell range in a sheet named from a custom class in a workbook named from variable destbook
Set StartingPoint = DestBook.Sheets(ReportTarget.Name).Cells.Find(what:=FullControlName, searchorder:=xlByColumns)
WriteCol = StartingPoint.Column
'this changes the range to include the whole column of the existing range
Set StartingPoint = Range(StartingPoint.EntireColumn.Address).....................

I had an idea that I could use the level of indent in the first column to provide the name for the range. The easiest way to explain is with the example spreadsheet I have attached
Cells C5:C10 show how the naming convention should look like, basically Indent Level 0 returns a prefix (Sheet_Name_Prefix) and its corresponding row entry in Column A. Level 1 should return the last Level 0 name and its corresponding row entry in Column A.
I had a go at the code and it works for Level 0 but I can't get it to put to Level 1.
Sub Test()
'Dimension Variables
Dim RowTitleEntries As Integer
Dim NameLoop As Integer
Dim IndentLevel As Integer
'Set the value of RowTitleEntries
RowTitleEntries = 6

In the code below, a formula is placed in column F to compute the total of that column. I first find the number of rows and place the formula in the cell below it. I'm dividing the sum by 2 since there are subtotals in the column.
Sub AddColumn()
Dim NumRows As Long
NumRows = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row 'get the row count
NumRows = NumRows + 1
Worksheets("Report").Cells(NumRows, "F").Value = "=SUM(F9:F308) / 2"
End Sub
The problem with the code is that I don't really know that the last row in the column is F308. I need to replace that part with a variable. It will be something like this (which I know is incorrect):
Worksheets("Report").Cells(NumRows, "F").Value = "=SUM(F9:NumRows) / 2"
How would I use a variable in the SUM function in place of the cell names? Should I even be placing the formula in a cell, or should I compute the sum in the macro and place the value in the cell?

I have a list of two columns. Here’s an example. The left most column provides the row number.
_ A B
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2
5 4 2.5
6 5 4
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 2
Whenever there are two repeating numbers in column one, I want to reduce certain numbers in column 2 by a certain amount. The amount is determined by half the difference between the number in column B corresponding to the second repeated number and the number in column B corresponding to the row after the second repeating number. The range of numbers that are to be reduced begins with the row after the second repeating number and ends with the last row before number one appears in column A. The values in column A are integers, always starting with one. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
For the above example, after finding the repeating number two’s at A2 and A3, it would reduce B4 through B6 by half the difference between B3 and B4 (1/2). The values for B4 through B6 would be updated in column B. The same for the next repeated numbers, which is one at A7 and A8. Half the difference between B8 and B9 is 1.
Here’s what the updated list would look like:
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 1.5
5 4 2
6 5 3.5
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 1
