Function For Determine If Cell Has 'mingled Bold Text'
I have the following formula (taken from the web) in my spreadsheet which let me know if a cell have bold text or not. But when the cell has 'mingled' text, i.e. only partly bold, he gave a #VALUE error.

Using 'IF' With Conditional Format (change Cell Color Based On The 'P' Or 'F')
My cell has a 'P' or an 'F' plus some additional text. I'm trying to change cell color based on the 'P' or 'F' but I can't get it to recognize the letters. Samples of what I've tried: =IF(LEFT(L23,1)=P) =IF(MID(L23,1,1)=P) etc. I can 'FIND' the 'P' or 'F' but there may be a P or F else where in the cell so the color may come up incorrect. I'm trying to get it to just look at the first character in the cell. Can the 'IF' be used with CFs?

How To Restrict The Cell Data To Letters 'a' Through 'e' AND 'A' Through 'E'
I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E. What I am looking for 1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that. 2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column. 3) Nice-to-have. If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.

Run-time Error '1004' :: Method 'Range' Of Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me Run-time error '1004' Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging.

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed. The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.

Run-time Error '1004': Methd 'Range' Of Object '_Global' Failed
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................

Run Time Error 1004 - Method 'Range' Of 'Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far... When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])" is highlighted in the debugger. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.

Passing Cell References From A Cell's Text To LINEST Function And A Graph

Here is an example where I want it to do a LINEST with y values in cells Ja - Jb and x values in cells Ia - Ib (where a and b are integers specified in cells I250 and J250 respectively):

Error 1004 Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have a cet of CommandButtons on sheet 1. The code for these buttons is in the code section of the sheet. A named range is referenced in this code. This named range is on sheet 2. Every time I try to reference this or any named range (from any other sheet), I get this "Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" The last time I had this error I was able to fix it by moving the code to Module1. I tried that here, but it did not work (I can't figure out how to call it from the sheet). CommandButton. Here is the code from the sheet for one of the buttons: Private Sub TBEnterUp_Click() iLast = Range("WBDate_DayLast").Value '<<<<<<< iItem = TBEnter.Value If iItem = iLast Then TBEnterUp.Visible = False Exit Sub End If TBEnter.Value = iItem + 1 If iItem > 0 Then TBEnterDown.Visible = True End Sub It is a simple number advancer. It is working in the UserForm I took it from. I have included a sample file of the problem. Feel free to look at it and borrow anything in it that you might like.

Both 'Private Sub Workbook_Open' And 'Auto Open' Run Sequentially
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew. Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True. Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed Error
I start in my "Action Plan for For Single Market" worksheet and if I click on the Command Button I then want to read in a couple of variables, and jump to a second worksheet (called "Market Action Plans") where I then want to copy a range, and then paste it in another area in that same sheet. I thought I had worked out what to do, but when I execute I get a "run-time error 1004" when the macro gets to the "Range("Updated_Results").Copy" line. Excel describes the error as "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed'" - which might as well be a foreign language as far as I am concerned! Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Current_Market_Row = Range("Current_Market_Row") First_Col_Action_Desc = Range("First_Col_Action_Desc") Sheets("Market Action Plans").Select Range("Updated_Results").Copy Cells(Current_Market_Row, First_Col_Action_Desc).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Sheets("Action Plan for Single Market").Select End Sub I am an occasional macro-creator and every now and again, I come across this type of problem where I can't get variables to be reconized, etc. I think it's because I don't understand enough about Private versus Public, and how to declare variables.

'C:Documents...' Inside Worksheet Function Call
I have a spreadsheet that uses a function defined in VBA code that is housed in an add-in which is stored in the default location (C:Documents And Settings{user_name}Application DataMicrosoftAdd-Ins). To share this spreadsheet, I first install the add-in on the other person's computer. Then, when the other person opens the spreadsheet, the function doesn't work because the function call on the worksheet contains the whole path of the add-in (and the path contains my {user_name} rather than the other person's). So, the immediate solution is to just delete the path of the add-in from the function call (so that only the name of the function remains, plus the arguments of course). But this is quite inconvenient given the number of times the function appears in the worksheet, and it's not practical as we continue to share files like this. My question is: is there a way to make sure that the 'C:Documents...' never gets added to the function call in the first place? I mean, why doesn't Excel just try to run the function locally before it adds that path that refers to a separate computer? I do realize that there are other methods of sharing VBA code. For example, I know that I could include the code in the specific spreadsheet that I'm trying to share, and this would work. But, that's not the answer I'm looking for (for one, the function refers to a very large amount of data stored in the add-in, and there are other reasons that make the aforementioned method impractical). I'm wondering if I'm missing something, and if there is a way to stop Excel from tacking on the path string to the function call, so that the function would just work on any computer as long as they have the add-in installed?

Format (highlight) Cells With 'If' Function With 2007
I have a workbook that I am working with and I need to formatting the cells so that they will have multiple formulas and I am not sure how to make it work. Sheet1 Column A is titled 'accounts'. There are 2700 rows under Column A that are being used. Column A is already formatted with a Vlookup formula so I can't add another formula in these cells. What I need to do is highlight many ranges of these 'accounts' cells depending on their account numbers. I need to input this formula in a separate location on the spreadsheet. For example; If 'accounts' is >=110031100000 AND <=110031100099 then highlight those accounts in 'RED'. and If 'accounts' is >=1200454000000 AND <=120045400099 then highlight those accounts in 'green' and so on...I am not sure how to word the if statement. The formula must reside in column D or greater and not in A. Am I going about this the wrong way. What I am trying to do is isolate the cells (accounts) that I have referenced on another worksheet so that I can visually notice any accounts that may have been excluded.

Using '=A1' To Get Cell Text, And Using The Formatting FROM Cell A1 [] Almost
Its been a while since Ive been on here, and again I am rusty ... I hate to ask a stupid question but after searching I realized I didn't know what I was searching for :-) When you use the code in a cell " =A1 " for example, the text of A1 is copied to the new cell. HOWEVER, the original text formatting is lost. An example would be: " This text on this line... " becomes " This text on this line... " when using the ( =A1 ) code. If you right click and copy/paste, you can select ' paste special , formatting and values ' and the original format is transferred.... But, can this be done with basic Excel functions ? (NO VBA will be on this project) ...

Selection Of Range For The 'slope' Function
Here is what I'm trying to do: 1) I have column labels, and row labels on one worksheet which I input into a function. 2) These inputs should be matched with column and row labels, and then input into the index function to get a certain cell - let's call it the event cell. I'm ok with this part. Then: 3) I would like to collect a one column array. The number of cells in this array should depend on an input from a cell in the worksheet, and the final cell in the array should be the column label of the column where I am inputing the formula. 4) The array from 3) should go into the slope function. 5) Then I want to get the second array for the slope function from a fixed column, but the same rows as in the variable first array, and this should input into the function.
