View 9 RepliesI needed to match the width a merged area of seven columns to a single column width (for row autofitting). Adding the column unit values and setting the single column to that value produced a significantly narrower width.
The documentation mentions that the column width unit is scaled to the font type and size and the absolute width is given in points.
This is set by the normal style setting in Excel Options or by VBA application.standardfontsize = 8 (in this case).
For instance, ten columns of Arial font 8 at 8.5 units you would think to be equivalent to a single column of 85 units.
In points, the difference is 420 vs. 386.25, or 33.75 points.
Well, the standard character zero has a width at this setting of 4.5 points and 1 unit is 8.25 points, leaving 3.75 points for margins.
Then (10-1) margins allowances time 3.75 points resolves the difference.
Determining the margin allowances is straightforward, and reveals that the gradation with size is stepped by MS design.
For instance, sizes up to 11 use 3.75 points for margins and increasing points for characters (except between 9 & 10).
Sizes 12 through 18 use 5.25 points, 20 & 22 use 6.75, 24 & 26 use 8.25, etc.
I have created a table for this purpose, however I rarely use a "normal" other than 8, so I can probably use that set in programming.
I have a button for Column T that when clicked I would like to run through different column widths 25,35,45,55,65,75.
I've tried a case statement but it doesn't run through each case on the clicks.
I am doing a if else statement but I do not whats the keyword for getting the column width value
Eg
if column width value = xx
column width value = xxo
This is doing ALMOST everything I need it to do. The only thing I need is for it to keep the formatting and column widths from the source sheet.

I have a 3 column listbox on a userform. I am trying to line the columns up with some label headers on the user form.
On thsi listbox, how can I code the first column to a width of 250, the second column to a width of 50 and the third column to a width of 75?
I would like to know if it's possible to change width of different cells in a single column? Example:
Width of cell A1 would be 10, and width of cell A2 would be 15. Can it be done? If yes how, if no damn. The reason I ask is because I trying to fit a report on one page with a chart and a month worth of data, but some cells are to long and they get cut off.
I've used the macro recorder to try to auto-apply column widths after I do a CSV import:
(A&B=3.14, C=8, D=13.57, E=24.14, F=9, G=10, H=11.29, I=8.57, J=6.86, K=8, L=13, M=10)
...but for some reason when I execute this macro, "every" column gets the width of 10!
how I can fix the below code?
Sub SetColumnWidth()
Columns("A:B").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 3.14
Columns("C:C").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 8
Columns("D:D").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 13.57
Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 24.14
Suppose I have the following UDF, which returns the width of the column, but when the column width change (increase or decrease), the UDF is not able to recalculate the column width...what should I do? .....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a Listbox in a User form that looks at data on another spreadsheet purely for informational purposes, not to be selected. I have two problems with what it's doing:
1) There are 23 columns, of varying widths. However the listbox uses a standard width, so some items are truncated and some have too much room.
2) The data changes, and the number of rows may change from 2 to 15000. I've set the RowSource to cover the ranged from A1:W15000, but if only 2-300 lines are selected the user can't grab the scrollbar button to scroll through, but must instead use the arrow, which is rather slow.
Is there any way to set the column widths to match the data, and the Range to only go as far as the last populated row?
I need to know how to format columns in a spreadsheet. What I want to do is autofit the columns, all except for Column A; I want that want at a fixed width of 9. The code below is my attempt to do this, and it's not resulting as I wish. Stepping through the code, it performs the first part beautifully and autofits all of the columns. Where I have the line
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor the past 4 months I have been desperate to find a way to split my sheet so that I can determine the column widths above and below that point independently.
For example:
small width from a1-b1
but
really large width from a2-b2
Is there a way to do that?
Need a bit of help with a dynamic column resize.
This is the scene. Imagine 2 lists of data, each list 2 columns wide (like 2 lists of names and phone numbers). List 1 covers column A and B, List 2 covers column D and E. I want it so that on the push of a button, columns A-E are automatically resized to be just big enough for their longest content, and column C resizes so that column D is on the next page.
The general idea is that you can print the sheet, and put together the pages relating to the seperate lists.
Scenario: Two computers running Windows 7 (64-bit Professional) with Excel 2007, same processor, same hard drive, same memory, same everything except the monitors - see below
Computer 1: HP LA2006x monitor (20" viewable diagonal) @ 1600x900 resolution, 91.79 PPI
Computer 2: HP LA2206x monitor (21.5" viewable diagonal) @ 1920x1080 resolution, 102.46 PPI
We have an Excel spreadsheet that the column widths on columns A through K must equal exactly 6, 1, 6, 1, 8, 1, 13, 2, 8, 1, and 35 respectively in order for the data to be imported into another program. These exact column widths are set on Computer 1 and the .xslx file is saved to a network location.
Computer 2 opens the .xslx file from the exact same network location. The column widths display as 5.86, 0.92, 5.86, 0.92, 12.84; not the exact columns listed above. So if anyone needs to export the data from Computer 2, they have to manually adjust the column widths or run a macro to auto adjust the column widths.
My question, is there anything I can do on Computer 1 or Computer 2 to make it so the column widths are saved and open correctly no matter which one is saving and which one is opening? The 20" monitor on computer 1 cannot display the 1920x1080 resolution... already tried that.
How the heck to work with comboboxes and listboxes.
In entering column widths, I want to do inches. I understand inches. I don't understand points.
The instructions say that it will take whatever is in the User Control Panel: Regional: Number settings. I checked. It is US system. Not points.
MSO 2010. Can I change it to inches or do I need to get used to points?
I have a spreadsheet of several thousand named items (in column B) with values associated with them in column A). The "name" field is a string of several alternative names for the item.
I have a list of ~50 items that I am trying to find the values for. Each uses one of the alternate names.
What I want is a function that will return the associated value in column A when one of my shortlist names is found.
For example, my big spreadsheet looks like:
AB
1dallas, DFW. 12345
2Atlanta, ATL, 23456
3Boston, BOS, 34567
4Chicago, CHI, 45678
5Los Angles, LA, LAX, 56789
And my list looks like
Atlanta
CHI
I want the output to look something like:
Atlanta2
CHI 4
Is the feasible? IT seems like there should be a way to do it....
I Have Data in my excel where i need to findout the Duplicates as well as unique if there are duplicates in the given column.
For eg In Column "M" if there are Five "ABC" so i need all the five ABC as a Duplicates and not only 4 ABC as Duplicates and one as Unique.
ABC
B
C
ABC
ABC
ABC
ABC
D

is there a way to highlight the highest value in a column.
=MAX(A1:A50) will write the highest value in whatever field the formula is written in, but is there a way for the number itself to be highlighted in its given location within the colum.For example, if A 21 contains the highest value in column A, can that cell be highlighted?
Need a method to identify column(s) that have been AutoFilter other than the small blue (almost black) arrow on the dropdown button.

Any specific syntax, command or function I need to use?
I will be working with an array of data approx 500 rows by 50 columns (eg Sheet1!$A$1:$CV$500) in which I will need to check if approx 1000 unique values exist and in which column they appear in. Each unique value should not appear in more than 1 column. Once identified, I need to return the header value at the top of the relevant column.
My thoughts on approach would be perform a lookup of some sort to identify the column number and then use that within an index formula to return the header value based on the column number.
However, I'm not sure how to perform a lookup to get the column number. A match formula can, as far as I am aware, only lookup against a single column or single row.
How can I identify the last cell of a single column range . . . i.e. the last cell address of range C1..C15 is C15. The range will have a name of "reg".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a pivot table and perhaps that isnt the best way to do this. (Sample attached). Ultimately I need to display two columns only:
Application (ColA) Business (ColC)
There are three columns of data.
Applications (ColA) Usage(ColB) Business (ColC)
There are multiple instances of the same application in ColA, ColB has usage =true or blank and ColC has multiple instances of the same business.
Based on the count of Application in ColA, and the count of Usage =True, I need to return the Business with the MAX count.
Note: the usage cannot be a filter, it must be a count.
So i'm try to automate a process that I currently do using filters.
Here is the problem:
I have a list of text in a column (usually 700 or so entries).
I need to remove any entries that contain 1 of 42 keywords.
So I need a fast way to search each cell for each one of the 42 key words and flag the cell for deletion if contains anyone of the 42.
example
A
1 This field has keyword1
2 This field has keyword2
3 This field doesn't have any of the 42 keywords
somewhere else I would have a list of keywords in a column.
I have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.
How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.
I have designed a spreadsheet and i want a seperate worksheet (sheet3 for arguments sake) to retrieve customer data from worksheet 2 - The data I required is the customer data currently contained on columns A - H and there are around 50 rows. (A2 - I51). I want the seperate sheet to identify entries that have today's date in column I and then list them in Worksheet 3.
Im having difficulties with the syntax for retrieving the data from a seperate worksheet. There may be several entries for the same date and I want to the seperate sheet to report all customer data in worksheet 3? Also, if the date falls on a weekend I would like to retrieve any data for the weekend on the Monday so all cases can be reviewed.
I have one table with 0.5" cell widths. Good.
I have another table with 1.875" cell widths. Good.
I want both tables on the same page, one under the other. Hard.
How can I achieve this? Is there a way to have the column widths of one table independent of the other on the same page? Is there a workaround that would achieve the same effect?
I have made a spread sheet where the row 1 - 20 are 12 wide but I'd like rows 20-25 to be a lot wider. I've looked around and can't find the solution since I don't know how to explain it in a few short words.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a formula to calculate the sum of a range of rows.
Example:
If rows 1-10 have a width of 12.75 each, and rows 11-15 have a width of 15.5 each. I need a formula to tell me that the sum of the widths of rows 1 to 15 is 205.
Any idea?
