I have been using Excel for several years and I'm fairly proficient at its basic functionality. I've recently learned and made extensive use of pivot tables. However, I have not taken advantage of such features as Data Validation, VBA, etc.
View 3 RepliesI have a table created in Excel 2010 by a SQL query. the query pulls 3 columns of data - Resource Name, Contract Company, Labor Category. I then add a column called "KEY". KEY is derived using VLOOKUP. VLOOKUP is matching the Contract Company from the table created with SQL to a table called "Rate Key" in another worksheet in the spreadsheet based on the matching the Contract Company. That all works fine. If the table changes due to changes in data coming from the SQL db, the column I've added using VLOOKUP recalculates correctly. Then I add 2 more columns. One is called RATE - which is a number that I manually type in. The last column is called RCode and is calculated by the RATE times the KEY. Whenever I refresh the SQL query, all of the the calculated rows work fine; however, the data in the RATE column that I manually enter does not move - it stays with the row regardless of whether or not the name changes when the new SQL data comes over. How do I get the values manually entered in the RATE column to move with the correct row when the rows change?

There will be hundreds of such cells so that the macro must be able to be repeated for other cells utilizing their individual cell values as well.
I am trying to get a user form to popup when text is manually entered into a certain cell. Right now the cell has a drop down in it that the user can select from a list of people. What I would like is that if the person is not in the dropdown list they can enter their name in the cell or select not in list and a user form will popup and ask them to enter their name and weight which will then be put into a different cell. This may be a complicated way to do this but the workbook is very complicated as is already and I cant figure out anything else to work.

I have a number of worksheets and need to move data from the same cells of each work sheet to a summary worksheet. I manually entered the cell id's for the first sheet.
Example =Jan!M6, =Jan!N7, =Jan!O9 etc.
I know I should be able to automatically enter these same cells for the remainder of my worksheets with out manually going in and typing each one (there are a lot of entries.) I just can not remember how to do it. The next sheet is named "Feb" and "Mar" etc.
Is there a way to save items into memory to be recalled in userforms.
Let's assume that I have a userform called UserForm1 and three textboxes named TextBox1, TextBox2 and TextBox3.
I have a list box in a user form using R2:R3 as Row source.
I need to force the users to choose one of the items and not allow a blank entry to be entered.
I used the code below for the entries however it still allows for a blank to be entered into the Cell.
This part of the code works for Me.sapor = "" Or Me.jobna = "" Or Me.ordernu = "" But not for the next (2) list boxes it allows blanks Or Me.snd = "" Or Me.mcode = ""
Me.Snd and Me.mcode are list boxes.
Code:
If Me.sapor = "" Or Me.jobna = "" Or Me.ordernu = "" Or Me.snd = "" Or Me.mcode = "" MsgBox ("Feilds SAP Number, Job Name, Price, Code and Month Code Must be Completed")
Exit Sub
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim rNextCl As Range
' Row count = where the select cell finishes and window box moves to rows over
' offset = howmany cells up or down from the row count

I'm putting together a workbook to keep track of income generated from Contractors (I work in recruitment). I have an existing system that displays margin, hours worked and income (margin * hours) but what I am looking for is a neater solution that would still have the margin column, but when hours are entered into a cell it is factored by the margin and displays income in the same cell.
So to be sure I am describing correctly, I am after a formula that will enable me to
1. Enter a value into a cell (for the hours worked - lets call this B1)
2. Multiplies this value by another cell (a fixed amount, the margin - lets call this A1)
3. Displays this result (B1 * A1) in cell B1, the same cell as the hours were entered in.
I have a command button [Start] that when clicked, will enter the time the process started. I then wish to have the cell locked so the time cannot be changed after it has been entered. I tried this code:
Private Sub CommandButton7_Click()
Range("I5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = Now()
Cell.Locked = True
End Sub
But am getting an error for the "cell.locked = true"
Any proper code to lock the cell after the data has been entered?
I need to achieve the situation below with a formula. I have tried simply doing, for example, = B3+1 but this throws an error, probably because the value being checked is alphanumeric.
Data
A001
Data
A002
Add next number (A003) when data entered in cell to left
I have two sheets, a data sheet with all our customers by ref, name and spend; and a presentation sheet.
In the presentation sheet I want to display the ref, name and spend of the Top 50 customers by spend, price high to low.
The workaround:
Copy all data from data sheet, sequence top down by spend, manually delete all after 50.
My only issue is that each month the data sheet will update and I want the Top 50 to auto update, without performing the workaround above.
Is there a way to do this without VBA i.e. pivot tables etc
I'm working in MS Office Excel 2003. I have a spreadsheet with numerous drop down boxes and references to named ranges. Here's my current quandary:
In cell I12, I have a drop down box with listed choices A, B, C and D. In cells I15, I18, I21 and I24, I also have drop downs.
What I'm trying to do is when choice D is picked from I12 it locks cells I15, I18, I21 and I24 so that the choices in the drop down cannot be picked. Also, a popup message is displayed.
I was able to receive help in getting this pretty much taken care of. But the problem I'm having with the code is that the popup message is also being displayed whenever I make a choice from other drop down boxes. So if I choose option D from I12, it locks the other 4 cells and displays the message just fine, but then if I choose anything else from say K12 or L21 then the message continues to come up. Here's what I have...
In cell D10, there is a drop down menu with choices A, B, C and D. Cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 also have a drop down menu. What I would like the code to do, is when option D is chosen from D10's menu, cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 are locked so that the user cannot choose an option from any of those cells.
So basically, if D10="OptionD" then [whatever the value is to lock cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 from drop down use)
If possible, I'd like this as an IF function, and not a VBA macro. I'm not completely familiar with all of the IF functions...um...functionalities, so forgive me if I ask the impossible. But if the IF cannot do it, VBA code is fine.
Currently have a column of cells that after the data has been entered we would like the cell to lock to prevent changes. The sheet is currently protected with the cells in question unlocked (D173:D250). We would like to be able to change the data if we unprotect the sheet. We would also like to be able to add/delete cells (list) in the code as needed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a "universal-fluctuating" vendor inventory return worksheet for a auto parts store that consist of one criteria (cores, warranties, or N/R ) and will return one or two results of core cost and/or unit cost. This part of the task I have accomplished by using a drop down list for my criteria and my results will appear in two different columns using a Vlookup table. The problem is due to inventory fluctuating from cores and waranties on a month by month basis, vendor requiremnts differ for the number of units returned, and last make the boss happy on ink and papers supplies :D I was wondering if it is possible loop my code in a given column where it will move my code to the next row untill I reach a grand total?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.
There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.
I have a column line chart to which I add data monthly and then have to manually update the "source data" to reflect the added data on chart. This is a rolling graph, which mean that I have to remove data for one month(from last year) and then include the new month's data. Is there any way on automating this process...like a macro or something, so once I add the data excel automatically removes one month of old data and make changes to include fresh data. Eg Currently chart is based on data from A2:F2 and I add new data to cell G2. I need something which automatically update the source data to cell B2:G2.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have a macro create a hyper link once data is entered into specific cell, i have a multi sheet work book used as a stock card system.
Each stock item has its own worksheet and the product code is entered in to cell E3
(which in turn has a macro in it to change the sheet name to match the product code).
the macro also inserts a row of info into row 5 of another sheet used as a summary sheet ( CONTROL.SHEET or SHEET 4) using copy and paste link.
i need a macro to generate a hyperlink in cell D4 of the control sheet between the row info and the matching product code sheet ( the product code is displayed in cell E4 of the control sheet.
I only input one item at a time and then manually cut and insert the row info into the stock list on control sheet. so every time i input a new item, the row info is always in row 5 of the control sheet.
I am trying to automate data import, instead of doing it manually all the time. I recorded a macro and now I am trying to edit it so that it can be used with any file.

I have to keep a record of the running totals of school house points for each week. The problem is that teachers are very lazy and don't record data every week so I have many blank cells which my current formula can't cope with. I've tried using N/A but it doesn’t seem to work? (Have thought about threats of violence but would probably lose my job) I’m if there is no data (blank or 0) then I need it to keep the same total in the cell as the previous week and so on until new data is entered and updates the total. I have attached a simplified copy: Teachers enter points in the HP sheet, the Running Totals sheet (TAB) contains the formula.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with 6 hidden columns (B to G). Rows 1 to 14 are frozen and have data that comes from another work book and these rows will be protected. The user will enter data from H14 to U14 and then H15 to U15 for the next row and so on down the sheet. The number of rows of data over a week is variable, a minimum of 21 rows (3 per day) but no maximum.
When the user starts entering new data in the column range H to U I would like to automatically populate the 6 hidden cells on that row with information from particular cells in protected rows 1 to 14. For example B14 would populate with the value from I4, C14 would populate with the value from I5, D14 from I6, E14 from I7 and so on whenever someone enters a value anywhere from H14 through to U14.
I can understand that a worksheet change event would be useful to do this but I guess then it wouldn't want to run every time each cell is populated so I think if it had to activate on a single cell change then the cell in column L would be best. Also, as I understand it, there can be only one block of code per sheet that operates on a worksheet change event, have I got that right? If that is the case then I assume all the code to populate the hidden cells on each row will need to be in this block of code.
let's say cell A1 is colored blue manually, how can i format cell b1 to be colored red? is it possible in conditional formatting?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to put manually a formula in a specific cell (like a "requested date" cell) and then have a table that use this date for the headers and calculate +1 year for each columns.

=2015-01-01
requested date:

Would you know a way to easily do it? when I try to do it manually (+365) it doesn't consider leap years. I thought about a =DATE formula but the requested date have to be manually entered...
A lot of the Workbooks that I design for use by myself and colleagues require data to be copied in from external data sources. To avoid named ranges from failing, I always use the following method:
Calculate the length of the data set:
Code:
=COUNTA(INDIRECT("'Data Sheet'!"&"$A:$A"))
(There will be no gaps in the data, hence a count is fine.) This named range is called DSROWCOUNT.
Example named range for the data in column A:
Code:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'Data Sheet'!"&"$A$1"),1,0,DSROWCOUNT-1,1)
I use INDIRECT to ensure my named ranges do not fail if the data is deleted (accidentally or intentionally), as #REF! errors will occur.
The problem with this method is that it automatically makes the Workbooks volatile because of the use of OFFSET and INDIRECT, hence the Workbooks always needs to be in manual calculation mode to be usable.
I have an array, let’s say B1:D20. I would like to be able to manually select any cell within this array and then run a macro which will place the contents of the selected cell into the cell in column A in the same row as my selection.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the below code that changes the colour of a cell to green if the figure increases, and to red if it decreases.
The issue is that it works fine if you manually change the figure in A1 or A2 by entering the figure and hitting enter. If the cell figure changes in A1 by any other means such as RTD or say a value in C1 "=C1" then the colour change is not triggered.
Code:
Public oldval, myval
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A2")) Is Nothing Then
oldval = myval
If Target.Value > oldval Then
