I was working with automatically exporting the contents of a textbox to an image file and found this post which I was able to modify slightly for my purposes.

Is it possible to improve the quality of the output image. I need to print out the resulting image and the quality of the image this method creates is too poor for my purposes.
I have a daily control material analyzed for certain chemical tests and the results values are being plotted as
"points" to show the performance of the machine and reagents.
I want these values to be represented as dots on the already prepared control chart as soon as I fill a daily table of the control values.
Attached file explains the problem : Internal Control.xls
I need a macro that will export a text box as a high quality image, preferably .png. The code below copies and pastes the text box to a chart sheet and exports it as a .png, but the image quality is very low - under 100 dpi. Is there any way to export the image with high quality?

I'm trying to format an exported excel database.
I'm currently running into difficulties with a text field full of user comments.
At present, there are cells with the #NAME error on them, and the only way I've been able to get rid of them is by double-clicking on them and pressing ENTER. This is also the only way I've found to remove excess white space in each cell.
Double-clicking each entry in the database would take far too long, and I'm assuming that there must be an easier way.
I imported a file of National Historic sights which imported fine with the exception that it's all out of order. Here is how it currently looks:

I have some monthly sales data (max 200 lines per month). The sales are from numerous suppliers (we sell on behalf of others and take a commission). Each month the sales/commission are reported back to the suppliers that have actually sold something!
The problem I have is that some supplier may have sold one item and others may have sold ten (so a simple mail merge is out of the question).
I can create the data in Excel quite easily but currently have to copy and paste this into Word. I am sure this is quite simple, but I cannot get anything to work.
I wrote a macro that works fine, although it runs extremely slowly as if plodding along through all of the cells one at a time. I'm sure the computer is faster than that, so I would like it to chug through more quickly.
I am using some syntax that could be optimized ....
Do any of the templates/backgrounds offer the user a white background with every fifth row and column an off-white colour?
My document will be read by LOADS of people, so I want to be able to follow my eye across. A soft system like that lets someone scroll across twenty columns and see they're still on the same row. It's like writing 7 Oct 2013 instead of 07/10/2013. It makes sense whether you use UK dd/mm/yyyy or US mm/dd/yyyy. People say 'October' not 'month no 10.' That's my logic and design principle.
Attached is a spreadsheet that does exactly what I need it to do but I know that the code can be written better. Perhaps some experts can clue me in to how I could improve.
There is a button on the sheet Mandatory Training that looks at the sheet CS CM and finds certain numbers, when it does it makes them red and copies them to the Mandatory Training sheet. If other lines are added to CS CM that have the same numbers and the button is clicked again, only the new entries are made red and copied to Mandatory Training.
I am generating the chart from the following code but when it prints i.e (Mode#1 or 2 or 3 etc....) with type i.e. (GL_Weld or Bend or any other text). Printing as i.e. (Mode#1Bend or Mode#2GL_Weld). I would like some space in between (Mode#1 Bend) or (Mode#2 GL_Weld) or even put it in next line underneath it ( Mode#1 Bend).
How do i incorporate and space or enter next line? Code as follows:
how to improve the following error handling strategy and code samples so as to maximise its usefulness for the purposes described.
During function calculations in VBA, such as is done by numerical integrators, numerical run-time errors may occur, such as:
Err.Number = 5 Invalid procedure call eg. LOG(-5)
Err.Number = 6 Overflow
Err.Number = 11 Division by zero
My present strategy to address these errors:
Say the variable x is used in the function calculations, and some particular value of x causes one of the above errors to occur. After the above errors are trapped, the x value is increased slightly from its initial value, and the failed calculation line is retried (Resume). On the next error trap, the x value is decreased slightly from its initial value, and the calculation tried again. This way, the initial x value is cyclically changed by adding increasing magnitude increments of alternating signs, searching for the nearest x value which will allow the function calculation to be done without error. Thus it causes the x value to swing around the initial x value in a pendulum-like manner, but with a widening swing per pass.
So far, I have the following code:
Code:
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 5 Or Err.Number = 6 Or Err.Number = 11 Then
If Initial = True Then

I have a large worksheet (Sheet1) containing approximately 15,000 records (15,000 rows x 21 columns). I need to search through all these records, and manually decide whether a record should be copied onto another worksheet (Sheet2) or not. The code I have written works very well (as far as I can tell), but it is extremely slow (the searching takes forever).
The code is as follows:
Sub SearchAndCopy()
Dim SearchRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim SearchColumn As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim CopyToRow As Long
Dim SearchString As String

I've just exported a list from SharePoint to Excel, which gave me as a result a owssvr table, so far so good cause every time the list in SP is updated I can do a refresh and get the latest values; however once I opened the table I realized that the columns where not correctly order they were all mixed and the information does not look as it is required so I need to rearrange them. I do not need to delete a column I just need to be able to move them between themselves so that they will follow certain order: Product ID, Name, Amount of pieces, Place where they are stored, etc. this is very important because later on I use "vlookups" to do a series of reports.
I've tried cut- paste to move the columns to the correct position, unfortunately once I close the excel file and try to open it again, I got a message saying that the content is not readable and when Excel repairs it, my owssvr table loses the link to SP so I cannot update refresh the table anymore.
I cannot edit the list in SP as this site does not belong to me and I only got access to export the data and be able to refresh the table, all I want is to be able to move them within my ovssvr table so that locally I can work with them better.
Here is a pic of what I am talking about: cmms.JPG
So for example in the pic I put, I need that instead of Comments in Column E, Product ID can be in Column E, then Name in column F and so on..
I have a spreadsheet where the data held in column A is an export from another system and the exported data looks like this:
??????? Stn ??????? ??????? ??
What i would like to be able to do is to split out the data in column A so that the text before the 'Stn' (but including Stn) are shown in column C with text after 'Stn' is shown in column D. i have looked at using =LEFT, =MID or =RIGHT with =FIND but the problem i have is that the text prior to the letters Stn could be one, two, three or four words and the text after could be similar.
how to reduce formula size/improve excel efficiency?
I have a really complicated formula with lots of COUNTAs, VLOOKUPs, IFs, etc etc etc which returns a variety of values, ZEROs (for blank cells being referenced), and #NAs.
I would like to turn all ZEROs and #NAs into ""s without repeating this super long formula over and over.
I am curently using:
=IF(or(ISBLANK([superlongformula]),ISNA([superlongformula])),"",[superlongformula])

I have two spreadsheets of data I export regularly from an outside source. I want to consolidate the data from these two sheets into one large sheet with all the data in a more concise form bringing in only the data related to certain parts I am conducting analysis on. I have a list of these parts already. My first thought on how to do this would be to use the list in an entry for an input box and have that list be the index for a for loop in which i searched for a part code, copied the entire corresponding row, and pasted it back into the master sheet. I have gone through and tried to do this but I am running into problems because sometimes I have multiple rows of data that correspond to a single part number. I have attached a template of the way that the data should look in the master file with the multiple rows of details that correspond to just one part entry.
I have a set of exported data from a Project Management SW (activecollab). The result is an excel .xslx file with a table inside with a lot of cells I am not going to use. Additionally, what I would like to do is creating new tables on other sheets that use only the data I want from the export. For example, I have two projects and three employees. I want to create three tables with the names of the three employees. In each table I want the tasks done by them and the time they will spend on them in order to create a Gantt chart. I need a solution that allows me to create new tables with selected data from a bigger cluster (the export). you do not need to give me the exact solution, I only need to know whether it is possible or not and where could I get the info to do what I want.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a spreadsheet with data that is exported to Excel via our in house investment system, the report looks something like below, though real data consists of 2000 rows of data. Where we have O/S in Bank this means these entries are all physical bank entries i.e statement credit and statement debit, and where we have O/S not in Bank these are all accounting entries, i.e. Ledger Debit and Ledger Debit.
What i am after is a macro that will insert a column next to Team and then input SDR SCR on all statement entries and LDR and LCR on all Ledger entries, the final report should look like the second spreadsheet....
I need to create a macro that can produce a new workbook with the list of the most recent users of my company, so that we can print their membership cards.
From my company's admin I can export the complete list of users with their name, serial number and address. Every time we export this list, the file is saved as "userdata-dd-mm-yyyy.xls", and "dd-mm-yyyy" as today
However, I would like to create a macro that would
1) open the most recent "userdata-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" workbook in the folder,
2) compare the user numbers in this file with the most recent "card_order-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" and
3) produce a new "card_order-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" workbook with the list of all new users since the last "card_order-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" ("dd-mm-yyyy" as today), based on the highest number for user number (this is a continuous list)
Note, the "userdata-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" workbook has name, serial number, address, expiration date and user number as columns.... but the extracted info to "card_order-dd-mm-yyyy.xls" is just of the name, serial number and expiration date.
What is the easiest way of doing so and what code should I use for the macro?
If I want to improve my excel performance like ability to open multiple excel and sheets to perform calculation, should I change to a SSD or a faster intel chip? My current PC sometimes give me a black screen for my excel sheet or is unable to save certain sheets when I open too many sheets.

So I have exported a canned report showing me payments by day and it is EXACTLY what I need EXCEPT the dates don't repeat (and it has spaces and some headings but those aren't a big issue). Anyway, I need to dynamically fill in these dates for an entire year.
To be clearer, column A starts off with 1/1/2013 and column B has payment amount, column C check number, D invoice number etc.
But the rest of the cells in Column A for 1/1/2013 after the first row are blank until you hit the payments for 1/2/2013. Then 1/2/2013 is listed once and then blank (or junk header data at a page break) until 1/3/2013 and so on. And of course there are different numbers of payments for each day.
I'm looking to dynamically fill in the dates so that I have a real data /flat file that analysis can be run on. I have some ideas ... Could probably incorporate a "do until" statement somehow...
i came up with this..
Sub Copy_To_New_Workbook()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = Application. GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Please select the excel file to be copied")
How do I paste the first chart into the second chart but maintain the format of the second chart?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to plot various data on top of stock charts.
This data could be irregular in date: it could be weekly, or simply random.
To plot this data by itself requires a Scatter Chart.
From what I know so far, you CANNOT DO THIS.
However, I suspect this could be done if I build a Stock Chart from scratch using a Scatter Chart.
Error bars can be used to make the tails, however, I don't know how they built the body bar which has the characteristics of a bar (border, and interior.)
But since I don't really need those two characteristics, I just need a wider error bar line that is provided in the chart edit window. I'm guess through a macro, there are wider line widths assignable.
I know this has been discussed a number of times, but here is my problem
I have three charts in my workbook. I want to attach a macro so that when the chart is clicked it returns to Sheet - Home. I have using the following:
worksheets("Home").activate. But after I protect each chart and the workbook, and save and exit. When I reload the Workbook it has forgotten the assigned macros and nothing happens.
I am looking for a creative way to display a pie chart within a data point marker of a line chart.
My database has 3 value columns, Type1, Type2 and the Total (Type1 + Type2)
these are recorded per day (Date, in Column A)
I have a line chart that displays the total by date, but I want to find a way to display the percentage split of a particular day by type.
I was thinking to load the chart image into the Data point marker, but i don't think that is the best way as the data is updated daily and I would have to do it each day for a few line charts.
The other way I was thinking about was to have a generic Pie chat in the Line chart (Maybe in a corner) and the pie would update depending on way date series was selected or Mouseover'd)
the way that I am approaching it at the movement (Not the best way and by far not the coolest way. Is to have a list of all the dates in a column next to the Line chart and using some VBA, what ever date is selected in the column the pie chart displays the corresponding data. But eh challenge is that when there is alot of dates, I am going to be scrolling up and down.
I am using Excel 2010, but I cant not use the slicer's as the other users do not have 2010, they have 2007.
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.
I have created a population pyramid and want to add another chart on the secondary axis which I can do. The part which I seem not to be able to complete is getting the line chart secondary axis to read from the primary y axis. It seems to add a new axis, even when I delete this the line chart does not read correctly.
