Highlighted Description Whilst Hovering Over Lists
May 21, 2009
As part of a working spreadsheet there is a section which records faults by way of a numerical list in a dropdown menu. When a number is chosen the fault description appears in the adjacent cell. Is it possible when the mouse hovers over a number in the list the first 20 characters of the fault description could be shown before the fault number is chosen? The attached file is a simple example of the fault numbers and descriptions, in reality some of the faults have longer descriptions with more technical detail.
I have several comments being placed into a pivot table from a macro. However, all of a sudden, when I changed the source of the Pivot table, the comments now do not appear when hovering over the cell. They only appear way off to the right if I click "review," "Show/hide comment" or "show all comments."
What I have is a sheet from B2 to N32. What I would like to do is to be able to hover over a cell to show a date.
I have columns that represent the months, column B is January, coulmn C is February, column D is March, etc, etc. Right up to December in column M.
Row 2 represents the 1st of the month, row 3 is the 2nd, etc, etc, down to the 31st of a month.
What I would like to do is when I hover over, for example, cell B2, I would like a box to pop up to say something like, ' What would like to do on the 1st of January??', then maybe hover over H7 and then a box appears saying, ' What would like to do on the 6th of July?
I would like this to happen on all cells on the sheet.
I wanted to know how to show a comment when hovering over a checkbox, whether it is enabled or not. I originally added comments in the cell behind each box, but due to many users using different versions of excel and different resolutions of each computer, formatting would be different and it would look awful.
I have a cell with a number in it. The number refers to a cost center and is validated by using a drop down menu. In another sheet I have a table that gives a text description of the cost center. Is there a way this description can be shown when I hover the mouse over a cell with a cost center number?
(I can of course use vlookup and display it in the next column, but I am wondering if there is a way to show it only while hovering.)
When unprotected my spreadsheet is working fine (apart from the fact that my users can do anything anywhere!) However, as soon as I protect it I am getting a mouse cursor that looks like its hovering over a clickable button? This is odd as the area that its hovering over contains unlocked cells?
Then when I click one of the unlocked cells I get a message box that tells me that Excel cannot locate a macro? Its as though there is a macro being invoked by a click on the screen almost anywhere? as allowing full access only to certain ranges of cells is a pre-req for my project. my file is double the allowable attachable size so I have not attached it.
I'm trying to use a non-modal userform as an application option board. Using API, the initial (Activate event) form transparency is set to 10%, and the Userform_MouseMove event turns it to 100%. The problem is that I need the transparency back to 10% (hiding it would be enough) whilst mouse remains outside the userform, and I've no idea of how I can get it.
I wish to protect a worksheet to prevent loose fingered people from altering formulas, but I want the "text box" that is below these formulas (within the same worksheet) to be able to be typed in.
But when I protect the worksheet, the text box cannot be typed in.
Is there a way around this to allow typing in the text box whilst the sheet is protected?
Cell A1 could contain either % value (eg 50.0%) or could contain a numeric value (eg 50.0). (It's input is written by a macro that performs a sorting function, hence the mix of % and absolutes).
I need to copy the contents of A1 to cell B1 with a simple formula "=A1"
The problem is that Cell B1 will either show 0.5 or 50.0 depending on whether A1 is a % or number, respectively.
Doesn anyone know how I can output in B1 with the format from A1?
I would like to reorder a list whilst ignoring any 0 values. I've attached (I hope correctly!) a spreadsheet of what I mean. It's pretty simple, but I've been banging my head over it for a while now!
I have a matrix of coordinates in sheet ("layout") (eastings - V4:BR4, northings - U5:U100). I'm trying to run through each northing (row value U5:U100), for every easting (V4:BR4), by writing the coordinate value to sheet("ISO_model"), cell K18. Within the sheet (ISO_model) there is a model which gives an output in cell HA500. I'd like to write this output (for the specific easting and northing) back into the sheet ("layout"), so that I then have the x,y, z values to create a contour plot.
I've tried to start the look through the row of eastings, but it is not working.
Sub noise_contour() For Each Cell In Range("V4:BR4") 'write coordinate into the model
i have data in worksheet 2, a table with formulas using worksheet 2 in worksheet 1, i need to move the data in worksheet 2 to another worksheet, but if i use cut or copy and paste the formulas do not track its movement, so how do i move the data to another worksheet so the formulas know where it went? i thought if you could select the data and drag the data straight into another worksheet but how?
eg say you call (ie insert a range name) cell A1 "firstcell", B1 "secondcell", then A2 "divisor1" and B2 "divisor2". if you put a formula in A3 which is "=A1/A2", how do you copy and paste this formula into B3 but getting the formula to reference B1/B2 rather than firstcell/divisor1, as it does by default?
I have a formula I've been using for a long time which uses VLOOKUP to find results based on various reference cells, and then adds them up. To avoid errors caused by VLOOKUP not finding anything for one of the references I have also used ISERROR. The formula returns a blank if the calculation returns a zero.
I now need to bring further references in to the calculation but, using the format I have been, the formula is now too long. Here is my extensive formula:
I'm making a dashboard and currently using a camera tool to show a sheet in a different workbook.
However the camera shot should show the sheet for the current month. (the workbook contains 12 sheets one for each month)
I was trying to reference a cell within the dashboard workbook in the formula bar to select the correct month.
[Code] .....
This is the workbook being referenced and
[Code] ....
This is what I have to try select the sheet with the right month. W2 contains whatever month it currently is.
I get that this formula is wrong because I'm referencing a sheet/cell in the dashboard workbook right after calling the tracking workbook, I just don't know how to write it correctly.
1. Sheet1; how to Add "B000" in the List A or "B00" if the digits and 5 in the list 2. Sheet2; how to remove "B000" or "B00" from the list 3. Sheet3; how to highlight difference or find out the difference between to lists
I have a sheet in an excel workbook which I export to a separate file and then save as a text document, I need to remove the tabs in this file, however the file (example attached) needs to be in a certain format to be imported into a piece of equipment which has a proprietary file format. Part of this format is the 2nd row and 5th row must remain present and empty.
My pallet lost color-coding - if I hover over each little scare it displays the names for the colors and if I click on them they color the cells with the right colors, but the palette itself lost the visual display of colors except for 8 colors: black, blue, red, magenta, yellow, cyan, and white.
I use color-coding of cells a lot and I find it difficult to work without visual clues. At least the hover-support allows me to get the work done, but with difficulty.
Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.
If there is more data in a cell than can be displayed due to the size of the cell, is there a way to get a real-time preview of all the contents in the cell just by hovering over or clicking on the cell?
I have a column with a description that includes color in the description, I want to sort by color with breaking up the description, is there a formula that will look at the description such as "Am Cannoe black tecan" and in the cel next to it come back with "black". Then I would be able to sort by color column, otherwise I would have to text to column and break up the description, etc,,, ect....
So column a1 has the description, I want a formula that will put in column b1 "black" I have 3 colors, so I can do one at a time or add to same formula.....
I am looking for a way to use the sum.if formula, combined with the find.spec (I am not sure if this is the correct formule, at the moment I only have the Dutch Excel version, it is meant to find a word as part of a cell)
The part I am struggling with is how to find the correct cells to "sum" when the criterium is part of the cell contents. e.g. Paul is the description in am looking for in "Paul is riding his bike" If so, then add the turnover to Paul. I have made a demo to clarify what I mean.
I have created a pull down menu but cannot figure out how to add descriptions with them. The items in the pull down menu are codes instaed of making people look up their definition in a printed out table,I am hoping to figure out how to make it so that as people scroll through the pull down menu a corresponding definition for the "code" listed appears.
