Get User To Choose Location Of Linked Data
Sep 18, 2006
I've have a spreadsheet where 4 cells are linked to another workbook via a vlookup.
the problem i have is that a lot of users can update this external book, or it can be saved as a seperate spreadsheet somewhere else on the network. If it was up2 me i would have them only update the one sheet, but as it stands its not. So what i want to be able to do is put some code onto a button on the sheet, from here i want the: Application. GetOpenFileName
method to open....but from here i want them to be able to pick the cells where the data is situated. Any clues..... i can get as far as them selecting a workbook. Do you think i will need to create another userform?? Maybe RefEdit? I'm not sure.

I'm using a worksheet as a surveying program. I need to be able to enter a cell reference in my "input cell", ie "=A11". Then in cell the the right of the input cell I need "=B11" to be entered. And in the cell to the right of that, I need "=C11", and to the right of the I need "=I11". I can get so far working with one cell at a time.
If I enter "=A11" in T3, in T4 I can enter: =IF(T3=A11,B11,IF(T3=A12,B12,IF(T3=A13,B13..and so on. But 8 conditions is all I can enter before I get a message saying that the formula uses more levels of nesting than are allowed in the current file format. And I need to be able to enter at least 50 conditions in 3 adjacent cells.

selecting dates and data and makinga graph
and thought I could learn this one myself. I was wrong. Andy Pope came up with a nice little spreadsheet but I could not follow it (being a novice).
The problem is, I want the user to be able to input a start date and an end date and a graph to update automatically between these dates (for the x-axis) but also the y data adjust to suit.
The input cells are C23 and C30, and the 5 Y-axis data are the coloured columns.
I have attached a zip file with the excel spreadsheet inside.

We have several salespeople who maintain a workbook tracking their workflow. I want to compile the customer account number, account name and deal number for each rep to another workbook. A new sourcebook is started each week. This code is in the target book
'Option Explicit
Public sourcebook As Object 'the workflow workbook
Sub GETDATA()
Dim wsc As Double 'the number of pages in the workflow
Dim col As Long 'the column in this workbook for returning values
Dim IntEndRow As Double 'the end row in this book
Dim SrcEndRow As Double 'the end row in workflow
Dim findval 'the column workflow where the sourcedata is found
My code allows the user to select a workbook and then loops through each sheet in that book searching for the column which has the info I need, this changes on each sheet as the reps each deal with different types of customer as so take different details. I solved this by having column headers in the target book and searching for them in the sourcebook.
This code works when I step through it but falls over at the "Set sourcebook" line when I run it where it returns a breakpoint error.

I 'm trying to do one macros where the user has to choose the column where he wants to work, to avoid the user start counting the number of the letter that corresponds in the alphabet, I would like to make it easer, because working with column numbers when programming is easier, but in terms of user is easier to work with letters

I want to make a chart with the time in x axis and all of the S in the y axis. The problem is I want to be able to choose which S that I want to put in the chart. Example, I want to make 2 chart with S2,S3 and S5 in the first chart and S1 and S6 in the second chart. What I want is when I click the button 'chart', a pop-up appear and ask which S that I want to include in the chart.

I have a few macros that need to work with various worksheets which are in different windows.
1. Make the user name the files a certain way for consistency
2. Make the user type the name of each window at the start of execution
I was wondering if there was a more flexible option though: one which would allow the user to choose from a list of open windows (similar to the Window>More Windows>Activate function in Excel).
Ideally the macro would run and say something like, "Which of the following open windows contains dataset1?" "Which of the following open windows contains dataset2?"

I have two columns, Account Number and Account Type. I already use Data Validation on Account Number to make sure it is numeric and on Account Type to make sure the user picks from a drop-down list. I want it so that if a user inputs an account number, it forces the user to automatically pick from the drop-down menu in the account type column, otherwise post an error.

I have a work book.
In column C27 and down, the user can input a date.
In column M27 down, the user chooses pass or fail.
N8, contains a date chosen by user as the "From" date and P8 the "to" date.
Cell o11 is "Passed" and cell 012 is "failed"
The user can choose a date range and input the from and to date in N8 and P8, this will count the number of pass and fails and input the number in O11 and o12.
Formulas are below.
Code:
=COUNTIFS('Aff MFR'!C27:C1663,">="&'Aff MFR'!N8,'Aff MFR'!C27:C1663,"="&'Aff MFR'!N8,'Aff MFR'!C27:C1663,"

I am making a macro that requires that user to enter a directory path into a input box and the macro will open the file. Right now it works fine bit i would like to change the code so that instead of using an input box it brings up a box that will allow them to browse files on their computer and then select one to open.

I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.
simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

I have a master spreadsheet that houses most of the information that remains in my control, and several other user spreadsheets that update cells from that master through links.
I am having some problems lately with users doubleclicking the locked linked cells in their workbooks, and excel then wanting to open and give the user access to my master spreadsheet. Is there a way to disable this feature? I would like it to not even acknowledge the action if that's even possible because it confuses them as to why they are getting a prompt to open another document.

There must be a VBA command out there, with which one can call the color panel such that the user can then choose his/her preferred color, I just cannot find it. Could you help me out?
With Color-Panel I mean this little interface you get when manually changing the font-color or the fill-color. (it consits out of maybe 8 colors in a row and 5 colors per column and usually has a button "automatic"). I would like to call that interface such that it gives back the color-index of the color choosen by the user.

my spreadsheet attached, when you open it up you will see the tabs on the bottom, each of those tabs are departments.
This spreadsheet track all the jobs coming through my department, placed by other departments.
On the right hand side of each sheet are print numbers columns, and total hour columns.
at the end of a job I record how many hours the job took or how many dollars it cost. Then the job is close out and that line of information is sent to the archive page.
The archive page is where all the information is stored, print numbers hours and dollar amounts and so forth.
what I would like to do is, set up another sheet within the workbook that would sort all of the part numbers and associate them with hours or dollar cost.
I'd like to have it start the search when a new job is entered and I put the print number into a cell, in any of the department pages.

1. I would like to be able to play with it by choosing different categories, sub-categories etc (adding different ones etc.). I tried pivot table but to get this data in pivot table format is a very time consuming task to start with.
2. The sample file has only one month. I get this type of data every month. So have to annualize using other months etc. I could get different months in a column also. So for example column d could have Jan, Feb, March etc. for row of data. But that would mean I will have 1922 * 10 = 19220 rows. And when I update this every month row reference from formulae (If I had formulae) will need to be updated.
I have the flexibility of getting this source data rearranged little bit but not too much flexibility there.

I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)

when you choose Data Validation for a specific cell, you can choose list. Once you have chosen list for "Allow", you can select the source cells for what will be in the drop-down menu. I want to be able to use VBA (or just use Excel) to modify those source cells.
For example:
There will be 3 lists with drop-down menus using Data Validation.
List 1:
Choose first option in list -> List 2 uses source A
Choose second option in list -> List 2 uses Source B
etc...
List 2:
Choose first option in list -> List 3 uses source C
Choose second option in list -> List 3 uses source D

I am trying to save some time converting a cut up inventory catalog number. Specifically focusing on the color code. I have the list of colors associated with their specific part number. The order cannot change or my sheet will mismatch.
What I want to do is convert the # in column A to the color code text in column b so that it matches the translated code in column C? For example
1 I want to tell 1 to = Polished Chrome anytime #1 appears in my column.
What formula should I choose to achieve that goal. As well, how do I know what data to imput into the formula wizard?
Sheet is attached.
I have Cut a few thousand items off the bottom of the sheet. I can apply to additional data left off.

I have a spreadsheet listing various pieces of computer hardware, software and mobile accessories, etc with costs attached.
I have created a dropdown list of staff profiles eg a sales representative, finance assistant, IT administrator.
What I want to do is get Excel to pull the data through from the data sheet, to a printable summary output form (something you could also cut and paste from). For example, a sale rep would need to be set up with a laptop, laptop case, mobile phone, etc, so when you select Sales rep from droplist, I want that action to pull all the associated data through to the summary form. Similarly, a Finance assistant would require different kit , perhaps a desktop PC , monitor , etc.
Next to my data I have created columns with "Y" for yes in cells containing kit that match the staff role requirements, but I am not sure of the best way to pull this together.

I'm still using Excel 97. I know I'm a dinosaur but I find it does what I want, just like a Ford Model T would.
I have one workbook (workbook "A") which links to another workbook (workbook "B") when "A" opens.
If I now update and save "B" I find I need to close "A" and re-open it to get the updated data from "B".
Is there anything which might be called "update field"

In A2 is the Stock price, and B2 the time of the update.Now every time it updates A2 and B2 get overwritten.I need some code that will save/ record the the stock price on the hour, every hour. I then need the highest and the lowest price within that hour, and lastly the price at the very end of that hour. (example)
A.........B.................C.........D.........E...........F..........G
stock...time.............time......open....high.......low.......Close
.60......16:45:33......14:00....40........90.........30........60
............................15:00....65........78.........65........62
............................16:00....62........72.........58........58
I received what I think may work, but I dont know how to write this in VBA. If the time of the new value received > than B2 + 1 second, create new row where Open=High=Low=Close else if (last column=new value,if new value>high column then high column=new value,if new value<low coulmn then low column=new value.)

I have 3 worksheets, one worksheet is a summary worksheet that gives totals for what the user chooses... like Actual vs Budget or Actual vs Prior... etc. When we are in our meetings a common question is where did these numbers come from?
I would like to create a macro button that when you are on a cell you can click the button and the macro well take you to the destination cell. Is there a way you can write a formula in to the macro that would use the formula in the current cell and take you to where that number comes from?

I need to link my code to data from a different Excel file. I feel it is smth simple, i just have never done this before. In a regular (=same file) setting, my code would be smth like that:
With Worksheets("Daily1")
j = 1
Do Until IsEmpty Range("A6").Offset(j - 1, 0).Value)
j = j + 1
Loop
m = j
End With
What would be the syntax if data instead comes from, say, Z:Brazildata.xls. In general, when I retrieve data from another file, do I always have to use "With - End With" structure?

I have linked two workbooks together but now need to be able to convert that linked data to straight text. I have a v-lookup in the report that needs this to be this way. I do not want to use paste special values because that would defeat the purpose of linking the two pages.
