How To Expand Cell Selection From Current Cell To Bottom Of Spreadsheet
Jan 24, 2013
I would like to know if there is a way to expand the selection of cells from the current cell you are on to the very bottom cell available in the spreadsheet.
For example, I want to apply a formula from A12 - the very last A cell row in the spreadsheet.
Amongst the several sheets contained in my workbook, there is one called 'Inspection Report'. Users fill in whatever data is required in the other sheets, and once they get to this one, they are supposed to enter a number from 1 to 3 into Cell X1 (which is currently selected) before they select anything else. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to stop them from doing what they should not be doing.
So, I would like to have a notification of some sort pop up into their face if they click or move the selection anywhere else while Cell X1 is still empty. Something like a validation would be nice.
Column A = Date Column B = Value 1 Column C = Value 2
I have a folder with excel files named by date (e.g. 081212 = 8th December 12). Within each of those files is Value 1 and Value 2. They are always in the same cell (B6= Value 1, B16= Value 2).
How can i create a macro/script where the Values in Column B and Column C in my spreadsheet are automatically updated where there is a Date in Column A but no values in Column B or C?
In other words, i need the script to read the date in Column A and if Column B and Column C are blank, then it needs to find the corresponding date excel file and copy Value 1 and Value 2 into the cells in my spreadsheet.
I have a cell with data such as: a0001-0004, a12, C8AF7-8, b17, j35-40 and i want it to output in the same cell(basically write-over the data): a0001, a0002, a0003, a0004, a12, C8AF7,C8AF8, b17, j35, j36, j37, j38, j39, j40.
I've created a spreadsheet in which I want a blank row added when a previous row is filled in any of the boxes. I've used VBA code to insert a row but it just inserts a row in which all the cells are unmerged. I want a blank row the same as the ones we're filling so the document auto expands and there's always a blank row available to fill.
Possible to get a pivot table to automatically expand the range selection of data as it grows. I have a worksheet that grows daily and I am running a pivot table from this. If I refresh the pivot table it doesn't pick up new data unless i change the range or i have a huge range selected in the first place. Problem is if i select a huge range then the grouping options i am using won't work correctly.
I'm using Excel 2010. One spreadsheet I'm using has 1048576 lines and is a XLSX file. The other file has 65536 lines and is also a XLSX file. When I try to do a VLOOKUP, I'm given an error stating "invalid reference. This file version cannot contain formulas that reference cells beyond 256 columns or 65536 lines.
If both are XLSX files how do I expand the amount of columns in the one spreadsheet with 65536 lines? I thought all XLSX files had a million lines.
I am trying to write a macro that will make the bottom cell in a column equal to the top cell. The top cell will not always be in the same row and there won't always be the same number of cells.
I have a cell set up with a formula to copy the content from another cell. However, the cell won't expand to fit the text. If you delete the formula and just type in the cell, it does expand. See attachment.
Spreadsheet works great, but I've realized that I should have expanded beyond the 1st 1000 cells (example: $1000). One book 1, my data entry will extend beyond row 1000.
Is there a way I can replace all $1000's on the spreadsheet with say $3000 without having to correct each of the 300 cells separately?
I have a sheet that copies text info (merged and centered cell)from a cell in another sheet (text alt+enter to create more line), the text wrap is on, however i have to manually expand the cell to see all of the text
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:
Is there way I can copy the BOTTOM cell amount in a specific column, to another specific cell in another workbook? I update a worksheet with a new row of data each day. I want to copy only the last (bottom) entry from one column over to a worksheet in another workbook. I'm hoping I can just put something in the cell I want to copy to, to reference the bottom cell with data I'm copying from.
I want to create a bar chart so that the X axis scale is based the value in the reference cells. For example, a table created for running profile as follow:
The data table # of minutes2221 pace (MPH)4.06.08.04.0
The chart I need to produce. The data has 4 records, but the chat needs to show bars of total number of minutes. Picture1.png How do I do it?
I have a workbook containing two worksheets - Sheet 1 being my "data entry sheet" and Sheet 2 is a sort of summary report containing multiple named ranges (all grouped according to similar values in a cell i.e. all cells containing 1-1 is named GRP1, all cells containig 1-2 is named GRP2). Basically, my workbook looks like this:
Sheet 1 A B C D 1 Lea Female 1-1 Lea Wells 2 Leo Male 1-2 Leo Anderson
Sheet 2 A B C D 1 Anne Thomas Female 1-1 2 John Doe Male 1-1
4 Jimmy Beads Male 1-2 5 Mary Fox Female 1-2
Hence, when I enter the data as shown in Sheet 1, Sheet 2 should look like this:
A B C D 1 Anne Thomas Female 1-1 2 John Doe Male 1-1 3 Lea Wells Female 1-1
4 Jimmy Beads Male 1-2 5 Mary Fox Female 1-2 6 Leo Anderson Male 1-2
I have a spreadsheet with a master front page, which basically copies the contents of other cells in other sheets for it's own content. ie:-
the formula in cell E16 on the master sheet is ='Sheet 7'!$B$16 (Please note that cell B16 is actually a merged range of B16 to H16)
Everything works fine until such time as the orginal cell contains an amount of text which is deeper than the cell on the master page eg cell B16 on sheet 7 is 330 pixels deep while the cell E16 in the master sheet is only 16 pixels deep.
What I would like to happen is for row 16 in the master sheet to expand in depth by whatever is requried to automatically show the full content of B16 on sheet 7.
I have approx 150 rows on my spreadsheet, but I am having difficulty viewing the bottom rows. The slider bar on the right hand side actually disappears on the bottom of the page. I am using windows 8. changed the tool bars and that worked, but I want to see the tool bars.
The following code expands a cell width to size 42 when it is clicked on, then minimises it to size 9.29 when clicked elsewhere. Just what I need.
For instance, this would work for column 4.
VB: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Columns(4).ColumnWidth = IIf(Target.Column = 4, 42, 9.29) End Sub
However, I need this to cover the first 1000 columns. More if possible. I can easily copy this 1000 times, changing the column number to then look like this (First 10 shown for example)
The problem is if I do this 1000 times i get a Compile error that the procedure is too large. Is it possible to make the code more compact to basically cover all columns from 4 onward?
I'm working my way through a list of companies on an excel spreadsheet and making some notes.
After i've spoken to them its a simple keep them on the sheet in the current position or highlight the row red and move to the bottom or when they become a customer highlight green and move to the bottom.
I have a coloumn called customer (J) is it possible if i put a Y in that cell to make the row green and move to the bottom and also if i put a N in the column make the row green and move to bottom.
I tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date 2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application. 3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered. 4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim m ad = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1) m = Range(ad & 24).Value 'here a formula "CountA(A2,A20)" will be place in the cell (24, c).......................
I want to be able to call the bottom number in a set of data that is ever expanding. I don't really know how else to describe it , so I will give an example.
Say I have: 3 6 4
I would want to be able to call 4, but then if I had: 3 6 4 5
I would want to be able to call 5, and so on. Is there any simple way of doing this? I basically want the maximum cell name, and the corresponding data inside of it.
3. All the other cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
4. Look at the "Volunteer" row - all the cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
5. Wherever a name - any name - appears in the "Volunteer" row, 1 is added to the previous number in the "Days so far" section and the result is displayed in cell from the "Days so far" row above that Volunteer's name.
6. For example, we begin in C1 with a count of 12 days so far - this was manually entered
7. In cell H5, we see Henry has volunteered 1 day. The total no. of days so far should now be 12+1. Therefore, the number in H1 should be 13.
8. In cell G47, we see Joseph has volunteered 1 day. The total number of days volunteered BEFORE Joseph volunteered is 15 (see cell D43). But now, with Joseph volunteering 1 day, the total no. of days so far should now be 15+1. Therefore, the number in G43 should be 16.
9. what formula l must put in the "Days so far" row (excluding cell C1, which is manually input) to give me the "should be" results predicted in that row? I'm guessing it will be a formula which looks at each row fragment of the "Days so far" row, row by row, right up to the previous cell in that row, all within one formula.
P.S. I just want to leave the "Days so far" row blank, for any columns where there are no volunteers in the "Volunteer" row, so please don't give a formula which inserts zero for days with no volunteer, and then sums the cumulative total.
Ok, so I have a dataset with 37 rows, column A labels each row 1-36 (labels in the first row) and data goes from column A-G
I have a sub that allows users to fill in some message boxes and answer a few questions so they can insert their own new data to the dataset. I want this data to go at the bottom of the entire dataset (so starting at row 38).
What i'm thinking of doing is, since the A column labels each row numerically, is to get a way to get VBA to take the cell in the A column above the new user-inputted data and add 1 to that number of the previous dataset (So take number in the above cell (36), add 1 (37) and insert that into the new A cell of the new row) just because I have an order function as well) then I would also have to fill the remaining cells with the information the user inputs into the message boxes.
I require a macro to enable a selected shape to be moved from current cell location to relative position but 1 row up. eg topleft address = A4 and shift shape to topleft address = A3
When I'm moving around in an Excel sheet, I want to have a keyboard shortcut that Autofits only the column I am "in", and only to the width of the cell I'm "in". So I can arrow-key into a cell, hit ctrl-shift-W or whatever, and the column will autofit.
I try Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit but that's not what I want, it autofits every column. Sometimes this is not appropriate and I want to do it manually for the columns I want auto-fit.
I guess the more general question is how do I write VBA code for the column I am in and not every column or a specific column - not Columns("A:I") or whatever, it's going to be a different column every time depending on what cell I'm editing.
I have 2 workbooks, A (source) and B (destination). Workbook A has 1 sheet named 'master' and has 10 columns a:j
I would like to copy a range of data in worksheet 'master' for entire 10 columns while the cell value (moving down worksheet) of the next cell in column A is greeater than the current cell. eg. if cell values of range a1:a6 = 1 then cell value a7 =2, then copy range a1:j6 to workbook B in sheet 'r1'.
Then I would like to go back to Workbook A sheet 'master' and begin process again starting from where it left off at a7.
