Formulas "break" After Editing
Nov 9, 2009
I have some very simple formulas, in fact one is just a reference to another sheet and the second a look up on that value.
I then copy those 2 formulas elsewhere and edit them to refer to a different column.
From that point on tho, the cell refuses to accept any formulas, whatever i type in is entered as text. I have to actually delete the cell competely or copy a "virgin" cell over it and then manually re-enter the formula.
As you can imagine this is making building big models extremely time consuming and annoying.
I have used countless different Excel versions on countless different company set ups and have never seen this before.
I have checked that i've not accidentally pressed CTRL + ` etc, etc, the cell will just not return a value of any sort. Though interestingly when you click the formula help button it does show the result in the dialogue box.
I'm using Excel 2003 with SP3 installed.

I'm trying to extend the range of a summation formula with a macro.
I've attached a dummy worksheet. I've named each cell in row 8 as well as the summation ranges they are calculating.
I am looking for the result of the macro to have each total's formula range to extend to to row 7 of its respective column.

The code which you provided works fine no problem for a page break. I need to run the macro for the page break by asking the input file for page break to be done.
For Example, If excel filename "A" contain the code which you have given need to ask to input the filename "B" and process need to be done in file "B".
I have added some code to your code which you provided but it gives error message "1004" "Method 'Range' of object '_Application' failed" at following line :
Set rng = oExcel.Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))

I made the mistake of creating hyperlinks to files on a server (using the \SERVERNAME convention) without using the "hyperlink base" option.
I've been sufficiently chastened, but the present problem is that I have many such hyperlinks that are now worthless because, when saved, they point to "../../[foldername1]/[foldername2]/[filename]", etc.
Need macro that would replace the first five characters ("../..") of all the hyperlinks on my sheet with //[MYSERVERNAME] ?

So I am attempting to run a macro that contains some if then statements that will change the text in a cell given certain circumstances. I am having an issue specifying the range in that it begins in cell A2 and it goes to the last data cell in the sheet and no farther. The issue with just selecting a whole column is that if the a cell is blank, it fills it in with no and it leaves me with 65,xxx nos in column A. Attached is the workbook with the sheet the code would be executed on and hopefully what the solution would look like. Also i have attached the troublesome macro I have written.

Whats the key in editing macros to know that you are not getting compile errors and how do you know when your in VBA which statements are repetitive? Do you always go by the macro recorder?

I have imported values from another program. Imported values are in 000:00 form (000 for hours and 00 for minutes). If there is less than 100 hours the value is still not treated as [h]:mm. For example:
029:15
How can I erase the first one or two zeros??

I have two CSV files that I would like to edit through Excel VBA. Both files have too many lines to be shown in Excel though, so I can't just use cell rerences. Every so many lines I want to delete a row and insert a row from one CSV file to the other. I could easily write a loop do this with cell references, but since all the lines aren't shown I can't do that. I have no idea how to reference all the rows in the CSV file with VBA when most of them aren't viewable on the worksheet.

I am trying to create an asset management database using excel, and would like to be able to add custom notes to each entry (index) so as time goes on, I can refresh my memory what we have done with a particular item. I have attached the current file I have created.
Essentially, when I use the GREEN drop down menu in the top right, I want it to display the notes/comments that I enter in the rightmost column of the data, as the attached file illustrates.
However, I want to be able to hide that rightmost column and be able to edit the data from the new area (white space) it is being displayed in, however as I have it set up right now, if I edit the cell, it edits the forumla and poof goes all the comments and the formula becomes messed up.

I have some VBA code in an Access DB that opens an Excel spreadsheet at a specific workbook, and then performs some formatting on the sheet, before saving the changes and closing the workbook.
The first time i run the sub it works perfectly. If i then try and run it again i get a run-time error 91 message (Object variable or With Block variable not set). This happens every subsequent time i try and run the code until i manually reset.
The error message is always at the same point. Here's the

I have a spreadsheet wherein the column g keeps a chronological record of actions taken on a particular issue. Each time there is a new action taken on an issue, I go to the G column of the appropriate row, position my cursor at the beginning of the text already in that field, press CTRL Return twice, Press the up arrow twice and begin typing. I always add the date first followed by a colon,(e.g. 5/4, I bold that date and then position my cursor after the colon and begin typing the update to the status.
It occurs to me that all of the steps leading up to the typing of the issue could probably be autmated in a macro.

I'm designing a custom toolbar in VBA and have managed to create a toolbar with buttons.
However, I've been battling away trying to edit the buttons images so that I can design the button image to match the nature of macro assigned to it. The problem is that if you record yourself doing it, the macro written in VBA doesn't seem to recognise the editing button actions.
Does anyone out there know of a way to custom edit a button image in VBA?

I have an accounting spreadsheet that is used by 25-30 people. This spreadsheet has a button the user can use to save this spreadsheet allowing the spreadsheet to save itself to a specific folder path base on the dates entered in the spreadsheet.
I have begun tracking certain items in the accounting spreadsheet and have added a section to the save macro that gathers data from the accounting spreadsheet and saves the data to a ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet. Since it was possible that more than one person might try saving the spreadsheet at the same time and try to open the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet at the same time, I placed a loop in the macro that determines if the 'logging data' spreadsheet when opened is marked as "read-only". If the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is opened as "read-only", the macro closes the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet then reopens the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet again and again until opened without the "read-only" status. Code seen below.
Do Until Now() = start_time + 0.002082 Or Now() > start_time + 0.002082
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"G:EDCUSTSERV1_ACCTGIPL SpreadsheetsBilling SpreadsheetsData DropSpreadsheet Stats.xls"
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
If WB.ReadOnly = False Then
Exit Do
End If
WB.Close
Loop
The macro works great, however, should a user try to save the spreadsheet and the loop happens to open and reopen the spreadsheet until the "read-only" status is gone, when the macro completes, a window pops up and alerts the user that the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is now available for editing.
My question: Is there any way to prevent that pop up window? I don’t want the user to think they need to edit the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’. Remember that the macro has completed when the popup window shows up, so Application.display alerts set to false

I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292

I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.

I'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?

I am attempting to print each letter of a string in a specified cell individually in different cells. For example, if I input the word "Hello" in cell B1, it would automatically print "H" in A1, "e" in A2, "l" in A3, etc.
I currently have this;
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Explosion As Integer
Dim Kaboom
Dim EndCounter As Integer
Dim StrTarg
Dim PLV
[Code]...
However, it does not seem to loop. It simply prints the first letter of the string inputed (In cell K3 in my case), into cell A1, and then stops. Surely it should continue to loop around untill Count is equal to the length of the string in K2.

I have a spreadsheet sent in an email. When I open it there is a warning bar saying
"Protected View This file originated from an Internet location and might be unsafe. Click for more details." then a button with Enable Editing.
I click the button and can edit the spreadsheet and save my changes. But the next time I open the file I get the same warning again. What is the way to designate that this spreadsheet is safe and prevent the warning recurring whenever I open the file?

Is there a way to SET a RANGE that can be used for further editing without the need to specify the range each time for each function to be perfomed?
I have a pile of Data, with a Calendar date and 4 columns of data for each date.
I want to make a summary for each year separately of one column of data (Total PL). How can I set a condtion that it will output a summary of data for a given year, e.g. 1990?
Even more useful might be setting up a table for each year, where I will be able to perform easy function like SUM, MAX, MIN but it will use data only from the specific Year in each row.
- Is there a way to make it simpler, but not having to specify the RANGE for each Year for each Function?

I have an application that I made for a company. the editing is locked on each tab except for the blanks for people to either check mark a box or fill in the space provided for an answer to each question. There are around 30 tabs. Sometimes i open already completed applications since most of the answerer will be the same. My question is. is there a way to select say 6 tabs and clear out all the data that someone had typed in (check marks, answers in space provided?)

I have multiple data tables that are linked to a site. My issue is that there are breaks in the data every 15 cells with a row that shows the column categories. I locked my top row so I don't need the recurring column categories at all, but when I delete them and refresh the data they reappear.
How to delete these rows? Could I possibly run a macro that deletes the rows upon hitting refresh? Or is there a simpler way?

I have a large number of files that are structurally the same - only the data and the file names are different. I want to insert some code into all of them.
I don't yet know how to open all the VBA pieces together at one time for editing. Is that possible? Otherwise all I know how to do is a manual, file by file, process.
