I am looking to freeze row 18 in an excel sheet, however in doing so this really limits the amount of rows below row 18 that can be viewed and scrolled through.
I would like to know if there is any way that you could freeze row 18 and when you scroll down on the worksheet, you can scroll down past rows 1-17 and when row 18 reaches the top row it would lock there? And you would then be able to continue scrolling down the worksheet beyond row 18..
I want to catch if the user has deleted a row. There is a need to know when a row is deleted and what the data was in that row. So, what I'm trying to do if a row is deleted is to undo the action and then change the font of all data in that row to have the strikethrough effect. This will enable others looking at the workbook to know that the information in the row existed but is no longer relevent.
So, the code is something like this:If row deleted Then
Application.Undo
Target.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If
I want to catch the value of cell B25 in the Quantities sheet of the workbook Sales.xls in the variable marchSales.
The code is:
Sub marchSales()
Dim marchSales as Integer
With Workbooks("Sales").Worksheets("Quantities")
.Range("B25") = marchSales
End With
MsgBox "The sales of March is " & marchSales, vbInformation
End Sub
I am writing this code in the Ex9 sheet of the workbook Exercises.xls and both workbooks are in Drive D.
I have to create a formula to fine difference between 2 numbers.
There are columns A to Z.
Values will be populated in A1 to Z1. Sometimes the value will stop in between itself. For example H1.
So, I need a formula to catch the last populated cell (H1 in our case) and then find the difference between the value in its previous column.
H1-G1 should be the result I should get.
I have a VBA procedure in Excel that opens PowerPoint presentations and searches each slide for embedded objects, opens, and attempts to save the objects as separate files utilizing the following statement:
Shape.OLEFormat.DoVerb Count
Where Count is the "Open" verb. 90% of the time it works great but there are times where the object simply wont open so the application just stops. I don't get any errors so I don't see how I can trap for this incident.
What I would like to do is emulate something similar to C#'s Try/Catch function.
Is there a way to do something like this in VBA?
let's suppose I have a prefixed range like A1:A300 in which periodically I need to enter some records (normally numbers but also sometime blank cells - i.e. void no entries); so imagine you have an array of cells in which I want to catch by mean of a formula or a macro the last entered significative record (i.e. a number); the objective is obviously to catch the last significative record in that given range having numbers in it (i.e. leaving out any blank cells in between); no other clues to approach the problem are given: do you think it's possible to sort out somehow this tricky problem ?
example:
1
34
67
#
45
#
#
545
#
22
where # stands for blank cell
how to catch 22?
I am trying to find some solution on frequent errors , that come up when one copy, or drag formulae.
Sometime the error doesn’t appear on surface, but after digging you realize that some formula is not pointing to correct
cells.
I want to create a macro which will do following things :
1. It will go to each cell in the selected range, and compare the cell’s formula with that of the cell on its right and left.
2. If the formulae are not similar it should change the color of that cell.
Basically, I am trying to catch logical errors. However I don’t know how to approach this problem? Is there any in-built functionality in Excel that can do this task ?
I've implanted data validation into some cells and I need to be able to catch any modifications to these cells. If the user change the value from A to B, I would like to trap this event using VBA. I've tried to record a macro, change the value of the cell using the data validation but unfortunately, it didn't generate any code at all.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been tasked with creating an updated booking system for a company which offers projects / services to the educational sector (UK Primary Schools.) I've done an alright job at augmenting their current Excel based system, but I would like to take it further so that the system is more all encompassing.
Currently, the booking form is filled in when a booking is made and the data from that is populated into their copy of the contract and our copy of the contract using simple "=" and to a certain extent, the text on the contracts is manipulated based on the booking form data using "IF" functions.
There is a basic macro which removes excess lines from the contracts if they aren't used, but that's about it. The difficulty we're having with the current system is that a lot of our projects are bespoke, happen over more than one date, and require a lot of manual manipulation in order to get them ready, which sort of defeats the object of having a 'clever' booking system.
I don't know very much about VB, but the sort of thing I would be looking to integrate is having drop down lists to select a 'project' which would load project-specific text into the contracts area. Also, instead of having to remove lines manually, I would like the data to be 'dropped in' creating rows as appropriate.
If I had =A1 in B1, could I "freeze" B1 such that its value updates ONLY upon workbook open?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with the VBA Editor freezing at the most inconvenient of times when writing code and then clicking to the Sheet I'm working on, it just freezes up the whole of Excel and it has to be shut down and opened up again.
It seems like a memory problem at first, but there is sufficient memory
( 768Mgs, OS is XP Pro, Excel 2000, 9.02).
The work is not lost becuase I'm able to Save even at PC Re-boot, fortunately.
I've tested on 2 different PC's and the same happens. The only way to avoid the freeze it seems, is before I switch to view a worksheet, is to Save then click off VBA Editor and re-open.
When doing so, another symptom is it seems a huge amount of memory is freed up, ( pardon the terminology)
There is also a message that pops up when re-opening that same workbook that there are Formulas Linked to another workbook, but unable to find any after tediously searching every worksheet by using "Find, Look in Formula" there is nothing found, yet.
This freezing may happen twice a minute whilst pointing the mouse cursor from any VBA Edit window or worksheet and it's getting to a point of repetitiously having to Save, click off VBA Editor, and Click back on again each time I need to look at a respective Worksheet.
I would like to have the column titles stay so I have frozen row 1. But I would also like to freeze row 200 so I can keep up with the running totals at the bottom of the form as I fill in information. Is it possible to freeze a pain at the top and the bottom?

How can I freeze a sheet's tab location so it doesn't roll off of the screen? I have a workbook with 30 worksheets all hyperlinked off of the 1st sheet which is the INDEX sheet. The INDEX sheet only exists to make it easier for users to go directly to their desired sheet without tabbing horizontally through many sheet names. However when users use the bottom left arrow buttons to tab through the worksheets, the leftmost INDEX worksheet tab scrolls off of their screen. I realize that they can right click on the left/right tabbing arrows to see a list of all worksheet names, but it would be nice if the INDEX worksheet tab never rolled off of the horizontal tab scroll bar.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2003 and was wondering if there was a way I could Lock/Freeze the contents of a column. For Example:
Cell A1 has the formula =B1+C1+E1 - figure shown is £405
Cell A2 has the formula =C2+D2+E2 - figure shown is £650
Is there anyway I can freeze column A so when I delete column B,C,D,E ect the correct figure will still show?
I have a worksheet (Data Lookup) that initially I just required row 1 to be frozen. Now my worksheet would be much easier to read if I was able to freeze row 115 and row 263 when they reached the top of the sheet respectively.
e.g. Row 1 frozen, when I scroll down the sheet and row 115 hits row 1 that would also be frozen and the same with row 263 when it comes into contact with row 115.
I have looked around and cant find a solution and to be honest I'm not sure if it is even possible.

I'm using a fairly large spreadsheet to put all the cost and benefits of a large area development phased over different years and then calculate the NPV of the total project. The costs/benefits are on separate sheets and are divided into categories with headers. Every category has a summation row as last row.
Because the project is divided into subprojects I created a column which has a dropdown box (using the Validate function) in which I can attribute that cost/benefit to a certain subproject. Using IF functions and another dropdownbox on my Overview page I can get a insight in the total cost and benefits of the subproject I select in the dropdown box.
So far so good of course, but what I really want is not only to be able to get the Overview page per subproject, but also the Cost and Benefits pages. I was thinking about putting a filter on the column which has the dropdown boxes with the subproject number in them, but when I select a number I want all the headers and "summation rows" of all the categories to freeze/stay in sight, because otherwise the output of the filter is useless (for printing and evaluating) ...
