I created an object using multiple smaller objects (shapes, text etc,) and grouped them to make an icon. I assigned a macro to the finished object. It works fine when the sheet is unprotected. However, when the sheet is protected, the macro will run only when certain parts of the object are clicked. The standard cursor turns into the "hand" when any part of the object is touched regardless of the protection status.

I have a spreadsheet with about 30 items in 30 rows. I have a picture object which corresponds to the item # and other info in each row. When I sort the rows, the picture objects don't get sorted with the rows and end up no longer corresponding with the item # and other info.
I have right clicked and set the properties for each picture object to "move and size with cells". This does not prevent the problem.
I have a little trouble with my macros. I wrote several different macros, each for a special purpose. Then I created some Buttons, which would make it easy for others to work with them.
But I have now experienced several times, that my buttons don't keep their assigned macro.
So I'm creating a grid worksheet for engineering calculations and I have a couple questions about the best way to do it. I've been messing with excel for my calcs for about a decade now, and I every once in a while I try and improve them.
First: I will have several input areas that will either be colored text or shaded background (either works for me). I don't want these 'input required' objects to print as color, just black. But I want my logo at the sheet top to print as color. I've only found ways to not print any color. Can I print the logo as color and the 'input required' stuff as black?
Second: When I do calcs by hand, I write them out on 10x10 grid paper. Each 10x10 grid is one inch. In the past I've created this grid out of the cells, which works. I frequently need to change formulas around though, and each time I do this, I end up needing to mess with the grid cells also. Is there a way to create the grid and have it in the background so it doesn't need to be adjusted each time I change formulas? I wan't the grids to print, and also want to see them on the screen, as I sometimes draw simple objects along with the formulas.
I have a formatting macro that I recorded, nothing fancy just bringing in a few different spreasheets, and formatting them. I made this for someone who really doesn't know excel.
I linked this button to the macro and it works great, except at the bottom of the code I would like to put something that when this has run, it hides the button, so it can't be run again.
I accidently assigned a macro to an object. When right-clicking on the object, I am only able to "Assign Macro...", how do I remove it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a sheet with a lot of formulas and form control buttons that have been assigned macros.
When I go to protect certain cells and lock them and the activate sheet protection, suddenly my form control buttons with the assigned macros don't work.
I still need to protect some cells with formulas and don't want to leave the whole worksheet unprotected, but in order to allow the form control button macros to run, it appears that's what I have to do....or, is there another way to do this?
I've created a custom toolbar and populated it with a custom button. I have created a macro and it resides in ThisWorkbook. The macro is assigned to the custom button and the toolbar attached to the workbook. So far, so good. If I copy the workbook and rename it, when I click the button to run the macro it launches the original workbook and runs the macro. The macro effects changes on the renamed workbook copy. The macro name found in the assign macro dialogue starts with the original workbook name. The same effect if the macro resides in a module or sheet. Any known way to have the macro name change along with the renaming of the workbook such taht it refers to the currently opened workbook macros? Regards.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to write a macro to create buttons with the caption "Fix" in over 300 cells. Furthermore, I would like each button, when pressed to run a macro that would copy and paste the values (paste special) of the entire row in which the button is situated as well as copy and "paste special" the values in the fixed cells $J$2, $K$2,$L$2, and $M$2. I've attached a file to clarify what I'm sure is an extremely convaluted statement of my problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI found this code for a button, so I can collapse and expand a set number of rows within that sheet. It works exactly the way i want it to, however, now I have a second sheet in my workbook, and I used the same button. Problem here is that when I activate the button, it opens the same rows in EVERY sheet in the workbook. "For each ws in Worksheets" so my question is what is the term for it to only work on a certain worksheet?
Code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Change()Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet

I have aprox 700 groups of cells "I selected a set of cells and named them". these groups cover 3500 rows. There sizes very in the number of rows per group but, all have the same number of columns.
What I'm tring to do is create a summary sheet. I want to copy all groups that have meet a single criteria to another sheet. The criteria will always be in the same column. The criteria is part of a function and will change each time I import new data into my excel sheet. Am I even close by trying to group them like this?
I have an Excel file with 70+ tabs and was wondering if there was some way to group them together, short of just making separate worksheets.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch (between 5-10) textboxes grouped together into one object.
When I click one of them, I want its value to be written to a cell on the active worksheet. In other words, simply would like to read the value of one of the textboxes in the group. This sounds trivial, but at this point, I haven't been able to find the correct syntax to access this property. It seems that the fact that they are grouped hides access to their text? I am using Excel 2003.
I have managed to code a workaround, but its performance is atrocious (involves shaperanges, ungrouping, etc..)

I have a workbook (Sort Test.xlsx) where multiple rows belong to the same "group". Is there a way to sort by a value (e.g. name of the test, date of the test, etc.) while maintaining the formatting and keeping the "groups" together? There are 3 sheets in the work book. The first shows the sheet as is, the other two are examples of how I would like to be able to sort the data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my pivot table I have "Due Date" with is a column label.
I grouped the dates into weeks by using the "days" grouping and using 7 days.
I created a slicer to allow the user to select with week they want, but the slicer is sorted as though it's a text field and not a date field.
Example:
6/1/2015 - 6/7/2015
6/13/2016 - 6/19/2016
6/15/2015 - 6/21/2015

I want to create grouped labels on a chart x-axis of the type created automatically when creating a pivot chart. For example: I have projects, samples and sample yields. There are multiple samples in a project so I have a sheet that looks something like this below:-
Project,Sample,Yield
2006ANG01,CTY001,1%
2006ANG01,CTY002,1.5%
2006ANG01,CTY003,1.2%
2007ANG03,CTY456,2%
2007ANG03,CTY457,1.9%
I would like to create a chart that has Project and Sample as the x-axis where the samples are all grouped into their project. Pivot charts do this nicely, but how to do it without a pivot chart? As you will see from the attached file I can get both Project and Sample on the x-axis, but the Projects are overlapping.
