How Do You Assign A Numerical Value To A Check Box Within A Spreadsheet
Sep 28, 2008
I am working on a vendor scorecard, and can not determine how to assign numerical values from 1 through 5. I am basically needing a way for the value to be added into a sum when the box is selected.
I have a list of names and prices as shown in two columns as a master list:
Apple and Lime 3,5 Assam 2,5 Chamomile Flowers 2,5 Chamomile Lemongrass3,5 Chilli mint 3,5 (the list is a lot longer than this!)
I have created a pick list using data validation to pick any of the names to insert elsewhere in the spread sheet. How can i get the next cell adjacent to this name to search and input the corresponding price?
I am working up a workbook template that will be used to process survey results. The way I ultimatley want it to work is that the user can paste data from another application into a worksheet in Excel, and then view analysed results on a second sheet (which are processed via formulae on a third, hidden sheet).
The problem I have is this: the data from the program that's capturing them are text values. For example, column B contains answers to a question where participants rate an experience, and the values are either "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor", "Awful". I want these to be converted to numerical values, on a scale where "Excellent" = 5 and "Awful" = 1, so that I can then average these.
So, the question is: Can I somehow tell Excel that "Excellent" = 5 and "Good" = 4 etc, and then use AVERAGE(B:B) on the text data and get a number back?
I did think of having an intermediate sheet that used VLOOKUP to create a copy of the first sheet (where the user pastes the text data) with the text replaced by numbers. But, because I don't know in advance how many rows will contain data (i.e. how many survey results there will be), I have to assume on the high side and copy down 50,000 rows. But, this takes ages to calculate.
I have a formula that counts all instances of the letters a, b and c in a range and assigns them a value of 1 unless they are in the M column in which case a, b or c counts 4.
This worked well but now I need to modify the weightings across this range. My new goal is to count all instances of a,b and c in the range J2:AB2 but have M column a,b, c's = 2 and N:R column a,b,c's equalling 4. Letters other than a,b or c count as 0.
My company is soon to be rolling out a new payment system, and I'd like to be able to track commission for everything I sell. Briefly, we get paid via a percentage of the company's gross profit, and the way in which the company gets paid is tiered. (the cellphone business)
So, If a customer activates a plan thats below $39.99, we get paid X amount. If it's below $59.99 we get paid Y amount, and so on and so forth, there are multiple different tiers.
What I want to do is set up a list via data validation so that I can pick what plan they have (via the name of the plan) and have it return a numerical value (ie $39.99) and also have the ability to pick text messaging, etc as options so that the workbook will add the monthly rates (39.99 + 14.95) and then have it return value for the right priceplan tier.
If this is confusing, I apologize for not being more clear, but attached is an example. The top one is what I'm actually trying to code, but the bottom is completely filled in, so you can get a more clear sense of what I'm trying to do. Honestly I'm not even sure if it can be done.
I have designed a functioning userform which transfers the data (limited or complete) into the sheet. Along with the data and at the end of each row it automatically generates 4 checkboxes and links them to 4 offset cells.
This is where I hit a dead end. I am not sure which avenue is suitable or indeed possible. I want to click any checkboxes in the first COLUMN and as a result have it change the complete ROW colorindex of the background. I did achieve this with conditional formatting but it seemed to make the empty sheet bulking when saving and I cannot alter the font size which is another goal on the 3rd column of checkboxes. Am I waffling yet?
The 3rd column checkboxes I want to have the ROW font size drop to 3pt. The 2nd and 4th currently serve no purpose i.e. trigger nothing as a result.
I don’t think I can use the checkbox_click event as the boxes are generated for me so I don’t know which number they will be. The worksheet_change event and calculate event don’t seem to register when the linked cell goes to TRUE or back to FALSE. I tried using FORMS and CONTROLS checkboxes but neither has brought me success.
I was hoping the linkedcell would trigger an event and in turn select and manipulate the entire row in which the linked cell is located….
Due to my limited knowledge the code I have written/adapted to suit my needs may appear a little unorthodox? I hope that in itself is not a problem.
I have not managed to get the Controls Checkboxes to initalise blank. Currently they appear greyed out with a tick but fully usable? Of minor importance.
I can't attach the file because the blank sheet is 4.5MB?? so here is the main body of code from the userform. If you need anything else I will supply as required, however I can't get anyfiles under the attachment maximum of 48.8kb. My jpeg image was 108kb....
(i) I have a spreadsheet listing all the investments details. For example,
Investment Investment Date Amount xxx company 1/1/2012 $10,000 yyy company 2/1/2012 $20,000
(ii) Each investments have different investors. For example, xxx company has two investors: A and B; yyy company has 4 investors: B, C, D, E
I want to assign Investors Name and their Personal Investment Amount to the main investment spreadsheet. So that I can retrieve individual investor's investment positions.
For example, I want a spreadsheet showing B's investment. Then this spreadsheet should have details of xxx company and yyy company, as well as B's personal investment amount.
I insert a button in spreadsheet, when I click this button a userform appears with place to input value. I would like to check the entire column (maybe < 100 rows), if there is number exceed the input, then disply that ROW in another sheet.
Basically I have manually generated word documents based on a spreadsheet. Now, I need to countercheck the contents of the word documents with another spreadsheet i.e. make sure the courses in the word document for a particular student is same as that reflected on the spread sheet. Is it possible to write a macro for this? I'm a beginner and I'm waaay out of my depth. I have attached sample documents and spreadsheets.
The link to the documents are as follows: Macro to check data from Word documents against an excel spread sheet
1) I need to add an edit check 2) have a copy of Active Workbook Path stamped onto spreadsheet with date and time to create a visual record of where the file has been saved (described after the code below).
1) I need to verify that two cells (S7 and S9) are not blank before running my code below (=IF(OR(S7<>"",S9<>""),RUN CODE,"You must select your Provider or Division before you can save this document")).
- If both of these cells are blank a message box should notify the user that they must select the provider and/or division before they can continue with the save.
- If one or more of these cells are not blank the code below should run.
the if stattement works perfectly and does exactly what i want except when it comes to the else part. if there is no error the statements are run perfectly but if there is an error (in this case the error is generated when a match cannot be found in the spreadsheet) the else statement doesnt kick in and post the msgbox. the code just crashes. and returns an error 1004 on the line i have highlighted in yellow
res = WorksheetFunction.Match(invvar, Columns(1), 0) If Not IsError(res) Then
I am trying to 'tag' new part number records in a spreadsheet (see SS2 attached) - checking against a second excel which contains existing part numbers (see SS1)
If Part Number in SS2.xls (column B) appears in Item Code in SS1.xls (column B) then i would like to put a 'Y' or similar in column J of SS2.xls .
My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####" 12 digit should be "###### ######" 13 digit should be "# ###### ######" 14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is
I have data in Row 53 that spans 7 columns, but stays in the same row. I want to design a loop to select every 7th cell in that row and check if it is empty. If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.
Code: Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook Dim WS As Worksheets Dim modCounter As Long Dim Cell As Range
Set WB = Workbook("Transverse Series.xlsm") Set WS = WB.Sheets(BM18)
Workbook 1 has 2 spreadsheets. Spreadsheet 1 contains Item and Pass/Fail Columns. under the item column is the serial number of the item tested. the Pass/fail column has the serial number duplicated if it failed tested. what is the formula is to have spreadsheet 2 pick the items from the pass/fail column on spreadsheet 1?
I have attached a document paralleling a document I am working on. The dollar amount in each spreadsheet represent sales. I have entered in values into the candy, soda, and chips spreadsheet. I have also linked values for candy into the total spreadsheet. My question is can I somehow type something or drag the formula down to populate the other cells in the total spreadsheet?
The idea I am thinking but which I don't know how to implement is to list all the items (as in column G) and list all of the relevant cells (e.g. B1 in the Candy spreadsheet) as in columns H and I (Note that all items will have the same cells but the cells will have different values...e.g. all three items have a cell B1 and B2 in their spreadsheet but these cells contain different values). I then try and fail to create a formula in cell B3 of the Total spreadsheet. I am trying to create a formula of the following nature:
='(Spreadsheet Name From Column G)'!(Cell Name From Columns H and I)
The Second half of the formula doesn't really concern me (i.e. the cell name from column H and I). However I am perplexed as to how to achieve the goal in the first parentheses above.
I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.
I have a spreadsheet that I have a lot of macros that are attached to a customized toolbar saved in the same spreadsheet. I saved this is a read-only file. When I open as read-only and run my macros (testing), I save it as another file. When I then open the "template" to do the same thing, the toolbar/buttons now reference the file I previously saved as something else. Help please? Is there a macro that would delete all macros before saving the file as something else?
Often I need to add data from one spreadsheet to the appropriate places on another spreadsheet. For example:
Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.
I have noticed that the basic problem I have is a common one on this forum with different varibles for different people. I have attached a dummy copy of the spreadsheet that I am using.
I need to copy cell information for one spreadsheet to one of 2 other spreadsheets depending on a dropbox condition. The master spreadsheet is the Issues spreadsheet, and depending on whether the user chooses Transferred Complaints or Transferred Offences (in Column K) I need to transfer certain cells to the Complaints or Offences spreadsheets.
The information I need to transfer from Issues is: .....
I have been searching to see if it's possible to create a histogram with non-numerical data and it doesn't seem like it's possible. Is there something similar where I can. Count number of occurrences of a string and organize them from most frequent to less frequent? There are about 60 possible strings.
e.g. ABCDEFGHIJ 1ddhykygghd 2jlqqwertya 3ukhghjklzx 4tukyuuiioa 5xypyjkkadh
Then output the counts of each of the strings (letters in this case) present. I was thinking of just putting them in the same row or column and manually counting, but it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult have it automated.
Is there an equivalent of =rank for non-numerical data? If not, is it possible to sort data (into another column if necessary) alphabetically without resorting to a macro?
produce graphs/charts based on inequalities monitoring information - gender, nationality, age etc. I'm capturing info from several events, one sheet per event. Had a look at COUNTIF but not sure it's what I want and looks like I'd need sub-sheet for each? Capture.PNG
I'm working on a spreadsheet and I want the letter "E" to have a numerical value of zero, and not necessarily in just place as my sheet will be regularly updated. If you're a fan of golf, you will understand what I am doing. I'm basically making a custom leader board for a fantasy golf game that I'm doing, and I'd like for the letter E to represent the value of zero when I am adding up the scores.
For example A1: -1 A2: -3 A3: 4 A4: E A5: -2 A6: 3 A7: 3 A8: -5 Total: -11 (have a formula set up to only count the best 4 scores).
I want to be able to add up those columns, and since only the lowest 4 scores count, I need E to equal zero. I get that I could just put 0 there, so I'm being a little picky (in golf E represents Even par, essentially a value of zero for the purposes of this game). There are 20+ teams in the game so I need E to be recognized as zero in each of those fields.
