How To Check If Previous Active Cell Was Within Range
Jun 18, 2014
So the constraints are
1. if there's a value in name or names count => must be at least one value in test1 or test2
2. last value in names count must be equal to the sum of trues in B1:B4 Problem Is it possible to identify once any of the cells in A9:D12 are activated that once that range is deactivated I run the check to make sure the constraints are met, and populate default values in the case they are not?

Trying to figure it out with a some combination of: checking if the last cell I was in was in the range and I am no longer in that range; using the selection change change event?
I need to locate the address of the previous active cell without triggering a selectionchange event (as this is where my code is activated from). Here is what I am currently using unsuccessfully:
I have found this code by searching witch is perfect
Code: If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub Application.ScreenUpdating = False Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 With Target 'With the cell that was selected, .EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 .EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 8 End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True
The point is that i want to retain the previous formatting of cells when i select another cell. And also i would like to create a switch to turn the Worksheet_SelectionChange event on and off. The tricky part is here i guess, becouse i would like when turned off to retain the previous formatting also.
I need to abort the macro if the active cell is empty.
I've tried:
If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then Exit Sub and If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then Exit Sub
but neither work. I've found other solutions that test for a particular cell (A1 for example), but I need to be able to test the active cell, which may be any cell on the worksheet.
I've been racking my brains trying to figure this out but cant, please can someone assist. I need to write some vba code that looks at cells in column aa and ag (on the same row) and displays a message is ag > 0 and aa <> "Agency".
I have a drop down lets say in cell A1. Based on what value is selected in A1, the user should see a different set of check boxes. My thought, which may not be the best way to implement this, is to have all the check boxes and depending on the value selected in A1, the check boxes that are relevant should be active or visible, while the unneeded ones are inactive or invisible.
I have a macro that is intdended to run after the user has selected a cell in column A:A (any position except A1)
Once the user has selected their desired cell, they press a button and the macro runs.
Occasionally a user will press the button without selecting a cell in the proper column.
I would like a message box to pop up to tell the user "Please select an account in Column A" and bump the cursor (active cell) to A2 so at least it's in the right column to help get them started.
I have got stuck on one piece of my code and having trouble fixing... Overall I am trying to find variable station name in cell L2 of Sheet 2 in Sheet 1 and then select and copy the data from the data in "cell L2 of Sheet 2" to the last entry of that row. I have attached an example test spreadsheet of the data and a macro is within Sheet 1 called test1. Please note that cell L2 in Sheet 2 will always be different station name and the station list in Sheet 1 will change with differing station name.
The code I am using is:
[Code] .....
The code that is not working and bringing up an error is:
I'm listing through sheets and have Sheet2 for drop-down lists.
Sheet2 is not visible, but when I click on Cmdbutton It appears so that I can change values in drop-downs. When I hide Sheet2 again, I want to be back on sheet before Sheet2.
I have multiple excel workbooks open at the same time. I need to run a macro on one of them every 15 min but I need to return to the active window when the macro is done. How do I read what window is active then return to it when the macro is done?
Sub AutoSave() dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:15:00") Application .OnTime dTime, "AutoSave" Windows("data.xlsm").Activate Sheets("Data").Copy Application.DisplayAlerts = False ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="c:excel" & Format(Time, "hhmmss"), FileFormat:=xlCSV ActiveWorkbook.Close Application.DisplayAlerts = True Windows(1).ActivatePrevious End Sub
let's say I run a macro from a button on sheet 3, macro process on sheet 10. Is there a way that the macro would automatically go back to sheet 3? Like a "Back" button on IE. I can't code Sheets("sheet 3").Select because I want it to do the same thing on sheet 4,5,6...
I'm looking for a piece of code, which would activate a certain Range i.e. the start of which would be in column A and the End in Column G. My problem is that the activated range of cells shuld be exactly in the same row as the currently active cell i.e. active cell B3 -> activated range A3:G3 .
But I cannot get a SUM Formula of this range. If someone could show me the correct syntax to get a sum from a range like this I would be very grateful.
I have this macro that looks in all sheets in column A, except the invoice sheet. How do I alter it to only check the active sheet?
Dim ws As Worksheet For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets If ws.Name ("Invoice") Then On Error Resume Next With ws .Columns("A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Hidden = True With .Columns("A").CurrentRegion .Offset(2, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 3).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy _ Sheets("Invoice").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)(2) End With .Cells.Rows.Hidden = False End With Err.Clear End If Next ws
I have a form that loads and depending on the word selected in the drop down the following code loops through cells Q2:AC2 until it finds the word in one of those cells (the word will always be in one of the cells)
Code: For Each c In Range("Q2:AC2").Cells If c = period Then c.Select
[Code]...
The active cell it finds will always change, i know I need something to code the active cell back but I don't know what it should be.
I have this code I wrote (combining variations of existing ones).. but not very well. unfortunately doesn’t seem to work. It copies the information back onto itself
how can I resize a from my active cell to a specific cell (eg. L1) and select all the cells in between? I am using this code to select the last cell after my data (active cell is in column A).
Copy Active cell (columnB), next cell (ColumnC), next cell (ColumnI), next cell (ColumnO) all of which exist in the same row.
I will then paste the values into another sheet in the next available row which i think i have mastered. the cells will be pasted next to each other i.e. instead of column B,C,I,O they will be pasted as column A,B,C,D.
My dilema is i am not sure if you can use multiple cell offsets to perform this or if it is better to use a loop.
I have some working code that makes a number of changes to an excel report using VBA. Each time I execute the code I am taken to a different point in the excel report (depending on user inputs). What I now need to do is to change the cell selection from a single cell to three cells.
For example, my code may result in cell B100 being the active cell. What I now want to do is change the selection from B100 to the range B100:B103. I would have thought I could write something simple like:
I want my code to evaluate each cell in column B, and based on its value, copy the row from D to X and paste on the newly activated worksheet. I'm trying to use Offset, but it's not working.
Split from: Clear Range To Right Of Active Cell Down. I was working through this the first step was to clear the contents of the cells. After they are cleared, I have another sub that then goes and retreives a unquie number and places it back at the top of the column that I just cleared. Would this same code that cleared the cells contents work to copy the contents of the active cell down that same column, until the cell to its right is blank? -R-
I am working on a macros that creates a new row for every data entry. Below is the macros that I have. In the new row, I want for the cells in columns F through O to merge right after creating the row. How do I go about this?
If Sigma = 0 Then
Selection.EntireRow.Insert ' New row for new entries ActiveCell.Value = "NONE" ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select End If
Im writing a macro and have a cell activated (using ActiveCell). If I want to select this cell (the activated one - i.e., k3) along with the 2 cells next to it (i.e., l3, and m3), how would i go about doing that?
I'm wanting to shift 3 cells downward and I know how to shift them down, but dont know how to select the cells i want.
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.
For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).
The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).
