Can anyone tell me if its possible to input some ones initials into a cell and when you hit enter, their full name is displayed instead of the initials:
ie input FB and the same cell displays Fred Bloggs?
I have the following code and I it works except it gives the full file path rather than just the name of the file.
I have been racking my brain for ages to try and figure how to just get the filename to show but I have been unsuccessful.
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Range("K43").Select
' Set up list of file filters

This is much more readable.
I am working with a catering form that someone else created at work. It has a drop down list of menu items available. Once an item is chosen, the item description pops up.
These descriptions are so much longer than anything else in the row (item name, qty, #, cost). Is there an option to make the full text temporarily visible by selecting the cell, and leave it cut off the rest of the time? I am trying to keep the form at one page.
I have a worksheet with a lot of different conditions applied to a lot of cells. I'd like to do some housekeeping, but to do that, I would like a clear and complete list of all cells that have conditional formats attached to them, and what the formula/criteria is for applying said format. I don't even care what the formatting is, but that would be nice too.
So, when I go to my "Conditional Formatting" screen, I get something like:
Now, this doesn't show me much of anything about what the formula actually is. I need to select it and look around. I'd rather just get a full listing of what the rule says...
And where I might have the same rule applied to different ranges of cells And so on.
I would like to bring up an input box when a button is pressed containing the text "which number do you want to update".
The user would then enter a number eg 101 and then by clicking ok, todays date (in the format MMM/YY) would be entered into cell J101 in Sheet5.
I would like to enter a date from an input box(which i have entered in the code below), this would then lookup in column F and find all rows and copy them to relevant sheet 7 days from the date entered.
E.g. if 24/11/2006 this would bring back all rows which from the 17/11/2006

I need a simple macro to enter data for hours worked, but don't like the inputbox.
I need to enter the Emp Nbr in B1.
AM in Time in B3
AM out Time in B4

I then write down the hours worked and
Return to B1
When I enter an new number, I want it to put 0 in B3,B4,B7 and B8
(see attached) Oops can't post. There is probably a better way to calculate the sub-totals, but this works except on an enter of 1200
I am trying to create an input box where the user can only enter a whole number between 1 and 99. i can create the input box but am having trouble specifiying it can only be a whole number between 1 and 99.
I am looking to allow a user to enter a unique value when a drop down value is captured from a list i.e 'Other' (Possibly a pop up box), then I require this value to be hidden and calculated along with others to show the average (The average calculation obviously wouldn't be in the same cell).

How to set up a Inputbox to make the user pick the start line and end line for a loop
the sheet will have items on it numbered 1,2,3,etc I want a process done to the lines the user selects by item number not cell range.
line 4 to line 20 for example.
I have a excel sheet in it. Is it possible? That when in any cell I input data in a cell and press "enter" then it save automatically.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been going round in circles with this for hours and have got no-where. I 'm trying to get Excel to paste in a set pattern of data based on an input cell.
In row 1 I have months starting in cell B1. B1 = April 12, C1 = May 12, D1 = June 12, and so on
The user would enter the data in column A, starting in row 2
If the date in A2 = May 12 then Excel would enter 10 in cell C2, 20 in cell D2 and 30 in cell E2. If the date in A2 is changed to June 12, then the previous data would be cleared and Excel would enter 10 in E2, 20 in F2 and 30 in G2.
Date would be entered in A3, A4, A5 etc and I would want it to post the same fixed data depending on the date the user enters in teh relevant row.
I've tried IF statements and also some code but can't even get near it working.
Basically, I have a simple - but large (48Mb) sheet with UK mileage distances between towns. As the are 1,000 towns and therefore 1,000,000 cells of data it is a little tedious to scroll to the desired town. see sample attached (this is not the real file obviously!)
What I would like to do is type in a start and end point, and have Excel look for the intersection and display the value of this.
I'm using the code below to create multiple sheets in a given workbook.

What I'm trying to achieve, is to dispaly an 'Input Box' to allow the user to enter a date which will populate cell B3 in each of the created sheets. However, when I run this, although I can display the 'Input Box', when I enter the data, and click 'Ok', I receive a 'Run time' error highlighting this line as the cause.
I am looking for is VB code to firstly have a message box with an input box on (that bit i can do). The text and number put into the message box is then used to search the table for the information that relates to it.
The ideal would be for the code to find the data and then copy it either to the clipboard or to a section of the workbook.
The tables I am searching can be put into which ever format is easiest. Below is an example table;
A B C D E
1 A.1 Side Road Correctly Left
2 A.2 Hit in Rear Left
3 A.3 No known Police ref
4 A.4 Vandalism
I would like to have some kind of input mask on my input boxes, the input box is for currency IN GBP (£)
The program itself obviously has no use for the £ sign, but I would like it to display in the input box as a mask.
Is this possible?
I should mention I am using:
Application.InputBox
An application I use at work exports names in a first name-last name format. At this point I have a list of about 315 names in this format. Is there a way I can convert these names to a last name-first name format? I need to export these data on a daily basis, so I'll need to perform this conversion every day. I did a search for this, but didn't find anything.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using the built in moving average function to calculate the moving average of a set of numbers. There are a few things that i would like to do.
First i would like to have the last result displayed in a single cell. Then next to that cell i would like to have a cell that would specify the period of the moving average. I would like to be able to change the period in that cell and have that change it in the actual function. And finally i would like to have the moving average in a chart that would also change its period once that is changed in the respective cell. I realize that this might need some VB coding which i am currently learning.
I'm writing a macro that will automatically change the display in a column of cells.
The input in the cell would be a decimal value, (e.g. 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2). As of now, I think the only input options are whole numbers and 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 fractions.
After inputting the decimal value, the cell should update to display the value as the following string format :
Input: 1.25
Displays: 1-1/4"
The purpose being to enable fast data entry while displaying in the desired format.
Here is where I know to begin for the automatic update:
Code:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
'
'
'Code
'
'
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
I am trying to get periods added to initials.

B

What I need in colum B
F.J.M.
M.L.
B.
G.H.T.J.
What formula can I use in the B cells to get this result?
I'm new to the forums, though I've solved a couple of my problems by lurking here.
I'm currently having a problem with a worksheet I've been working on at work. I'm not very experienced in Exel and have inherited a worksheet that keeps track of the machines we do maintenance on during the year. What I have now is a spreadsheet with columns alternating between initials and date, and rows with the machine names all the way down. It looks similar to this :
Name of machine Initials date initials date initials date initials date etc.
machine 1
machine 2
machine 3
machine 4
...
machine 121
I'd like to keep this format, but we need to keep track of who does what within a certain week, which means I need to count the number of instances of an initial, then compare it with the date in the column next to it, which I don't think would be a problem with just two columns, but I'm having problems wrapping my brain around how to do so with 20-30 columns.
I'm using date ranges in some of my calculation formulas, which I think necessitates the date being in a separate column than the text.
I have 2 columns of Surnames and Initials and I am trying to concatenate an initial (if required) with a surname or return a “blank” if the cell(s) is empty, in other words in cell AC20 I have a surname Smith and in AG20 an initial A which I only enter into the cell if there are identical surnames but when the cells are blank I wish to return a blank not a zero.
I have tried =IF( COUNTBLANK(AC20:AG20)=2,"",AG20&""&AC20) and =IF(AG20="",AC20,IF(AC20>"",AG20&" "&AC20)) but the first one won’t return the initial and the last one works but both return a zero when blank.
I am trying to display number of lines which depends on value pass by user. Actually user is passing some value. on which some group of lines has to be display.
eg
for 1 value 9 lines
for 2 value first 9 lines + another 9 lines
for 3 value first 18lines + 9 lines
and so on till 52.(this 9 lines are set of some column and rows)
thus cant use macros..
I have a few questions here.
1) Can a userform procedure be place in the midst a larger macro, so that it can get input from the user before running the rest of the macro? ie If the user leave the input field blank, the macro will exit will a msgbox.
2) I have a range(A1:A3) that i want my userform to display. This range is dynamic. The user will require to input the corresponding country next to it. how do i code the this? I will need to use a listboxes and textboxes right?
for example: userform shows city on the left, user will need to input the country on the right.
A1 - California (user input on the right)
A2 - Shanghai (user input on the right)
A3 - Mumbai (user input on the right)
I am looking to create a formula to get the initials of a name, where the the last name is listed first, followed by a comma.
Now, the names could be full names or initials.
So, it could be something like: Smith, John R - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert Michael - result would be JRMS There were similar formulas that I found here, but these only got the last letter of the last name - in this case the following formulas would have resulted (with the above examples) in: JTS or the last example with Michael, JLS.
=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",2)))+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))
=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))
Note: While I am using Excel 2010, there could be users that are still using 2003.
cell a1 is blank
cell a2= "sb"
cell a3= "db"
cell a4 is blank
cell a5= "rm"
cell a6= "kw"
I want to randomly pick 1 set of initials from the 4 listed in the 6 cells and put the result in cell a7.
I just bought a database and I would say at least 20% of the names in the database have an initial after the first name. I need to have a clean first and last name list. Is there a formula that can delete the initials? I am working on a variable data print project that uses their first name in the message so I cannot have their middle initial.
So like in one example her first name is listed as Susan F. I want it to just be Susan. Another example is T. Jones as a last name, I want it to be just Jones.
Can i put into the cells B38-AF38, that would display the sum of B20:AF20 + B24:AF24 + B28:AF28 + B32:AF32 +B36:AF36 in a h:mm format.
When imputing the data into a cell in a h:mm format, I need it to display in that cell and formula bar the h:mm format without having to put an apostrophe in front of "h" or ":mm" value. Once complete, this form is going to go to other trainers to use on their computers and I dont think they would remember to keep putting an apostrophe before the data.
Example:
B20= 1:15 (1h15m) NOT 1:15:00 AM
B24= :30 (30min)
B28= :45 (45min)
B32= 1:45 (1h45m) NOT 1:45:00 AM
B38= 4:15 (4h15min)
I have attached a copy of the form for better clarification.
It doesnt seem to be complicated, but it's certainly a lot more than I thought.
