I'm trying to highlight a bunch of cells in clusters not close together, and then invert the selection so that all cells BUT these are selected (therefore capturing all possible cells that someone could scroll to). In XL03 you could go to File > Invert Selection and it would work fine. But in XL07 which I have now, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Also, when using ctrl^a to highlight everything, and while still holding control in XL03 you could de-select specific cells, not so much in 07. I need to know if there's a way to do it with no macros involved. If not, I need a macro to do such a function on any given worksheet.
I was wondering if there was a way to show how many characters you have typed in a cell (as you type) either with a msgbox or a formula? It needs to display the Character Count live AS YOU ARE TYPING.
I would like to freeze the bottom part of my spreadsheet, such that the user can scroll through the upper part but still be able to see the bottom part. The freeze command freezes what is above the line, I want to freeze what is below the line.
I have selected a range in a worksheet using VBA. How can I now code so that if any cell in the selection has a value greater than 0 , then
Put up a Message. I do not know visually what has been selected, and it will change from sheet to sheet so I cant hard code the range.
If all cells have a value of nothing or zero, I will delete the entire selection. If any row has cells with a value > 0, I will keep it and move to the next row Then, delete all rows where all cells have a value of nothing or 0
I am assigned to a very tedious task which requires me to lock selectively, cells from Jan through to Dec. Instead clicking the cells and selecting the various options from the menu bar, I would like to do it the other way.
If I want to go locking a cell upon selecting it, what are the VB codings?
How can I sort a 7 column selection and then paste columns 1-4, and 7 to the new location? Columns 5 and 6 should be ignored for the most part. Also, how can I obtain the first values of the column 5 and 6 selection to? I want to use them to name a file. This is how I am selecting the range.
Dim rng As Range 'Copy Selection Set rng = Selection rng.Copy Destination:=Range("A8")
This is how I name my files. I am getting the values from the form.
I would like to create a spreadsheet that allows me to have a drop down list (in this case I diagnosis - from a list of shoulder, knee and ankle). I have used data validation to do this part. I would like to then have the next column automatically select the appropriate outcome measure (shoulder = DASH, Knee = Berg balance, Ankle =BPI) and display this next to the diagnosis and in the final outcome measure box. I would then like this to limit the possible entry details for the score boxes both at initial assessment and final (see D14, D15, D16 respectively).
I have attached a work sheet too - OP outcome measures.xlsx
I want to set up a cell so that when the cursor is on the cell a drop down option appears allowing the selection of a yes or no to be shown in the cell. What's this called and how do I set it up?
If I select a group of non-contiguous cells with control shift is there any way that I can shift the same selection over to the next column. For example, I have A4 and A8 selected. When I press shift and right arrow it doesn't work.
I need a macro that can cut and paste a selection of 3 cells to a location one row above and 3 cells to the left. I want to run it each time manually from the right cell among the 3. the macro should therefore (when standing on the right cell of the 3):
1. select 2 more cells to the left 2. cut the selection 3. move 3 cells to the left and one cell up 4. paste 5. move the cursor back to the starting location
I'm trying to select an x number of random selections within the selection.
Basically, lets say A1:A100 is selected, im going to have a inputbox asking how many to select, you put 10 in the inputbox, and then it randomly chooses 10 from A1:A100 and highlights them
This seems easy enough, i can do the input box and know the random function. just not sure how to set the beginning point and the ending point with Cell locations and then have it highlight those selections... a for loop I'm guessing?
I'm using two comboboxes to simplify data query of a database: the first narrows the query by displaying employee names, the second narrowing the selection further by displaying the equipment that employee owns. I am able to populate both comboboxes fine.
The first combo box for employee names:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("User&EquipOverview")
[Code]....
Where I am running into trouble is that I want the selection made with the equipment name combobox (ComboDevice) to populate several textboxes with values related to that specific selection in the database. That is, the combobox population needs to have the cell location included as information to pull the correct information.
Each employee has several pieces of similarly named equipment, so it's not so easy as to search the initial list for the value of the combobox selection.
how one can union a selection without looping through the cells? I need to write a noncontinuous range into an array, and it can't be sorted as I'm using specialcells(xlCellTypeVisible).
If my cursor is in A1 and I want to select all non-empty cells in that column, what is the VBA code that will do that?
(I'm a beginner and have tried recording a macro and inspecting the code, but that always gives me a specific number of cells to select, while I want it to vary by the number of cells that have values. )
Is there an alternate to this? The selection is every alternate cell starting M3, O3 & so on.
Also, All of the above reference columns have date stored in "2002 Aug 02" format. Is there a quick way of selecting the columns automatically & converting it to DD-MMM-YY?
I tried various methods but nothing works unless I manually enter the date. I am looking for an easy way because I have 100's of sheets to fix with 30+ columns. It will be a big and tedious job if I try to create a separate column beside each and then convert using a formula.
I have a spreadsheet named PRODUCTS and in row A there are a bunch of product codes. I would like for the user to be able to use the CTRL and mouse to select all the products that they want and then once they push that button I would like it to paste the user selected cells into a sheet called Quote starting at A7.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet which allows me to select an antibiotic from a drop-down menu (refer to cell D1) on Sheet 1.jpg, which would then color the cells below based on the color-coded coverage based on another sheet (refer to D2-D17 of Sheet 2.jpg).
What I'd like to do is fill specific cells with specific information drawn from other pages based on a combo box selection.
For example, if I were to pick 10131 in the combo box, I'd like it to fill out cells X, Y and Z with information from the three cells to the right of 10131. Assume X, Y and Z are not touching.
I am working on a spreadsheet that is essentially a question and answer based document .... I need to set up the macros so that if a certain response is chosen from a list, it will automatically update the cell / row next to it with a pre-determined response ....
The way the spreadsheet is set up is that the first column has the question, the second column has the answer (yes, no or N/A - from data validation - as a list) and the third column is blank - but is titled "comment/action" .....
For example: if the question is "have you locked the car" and the answer column selects "NO" then I want the "comments/action" to come back with "you need to lock the car", and if the answer is "YES" then I want the comment/actions column to remain blank ...... The same with N/A ......
I will have around 100 questions in the document ...... I know I need to set up the responses on a separate worksheet - i just dont know what the macro's are to identify and place the appropriate response from the worksheet to the relevant comment/action column .....
how to create drop down lists which is making a sales forecast template for my small company look pretty jazzy. Of course, now I want more out of it and can't figure it out.
I successfully added a drop down list for a sales person to pick a supplier, let's say their selection populates cell E4. Once selected, the next cell over (F4) gives them another drop down list with the products made by that particular supplier. The next cell over (G4) is in a column titled "Unit Cost", how can I make the Unit Cost cell populate automatically when the product selection is made in F4?
NOTE: My "lists" are on Sheet 1 along with my working spreadsheet. I have a Suppliers List, Products List (for each supplier), and anticipate I will need a Price List for each Product List, right?
Once I finish the spreadsheet can I cut and paste all the data to sheet 2 (I put it 100 rows below my spreadsheet to hide it)?
I have created a named range that includes raw data layed out in 4 columns (Finish Name, Fill Color, Pattern, Font Color). On a separate sheet, when one of the finish names is selected in a particular cell, I want the cells fill, pattern, and font color to change according to the raw data. Below is the vba code I am trying to get to work. However, it is not working. It does not break, but does not achieve the desired result. It looks like the variables are getting set correctly, but still not changing the cell when they are referenced. I am only testing it on the first finish color, as seen in the code. All of the rest are static values for the cell, but I want the values to be dynamic.
Sub SetFinishSeparatorColor() ActiveCell = frmFinishSeparator.cboFinish.Value Set rngTarget = ActiveCell With Sheets("Pick List Do Not Tamper").Range("Finish_Cell_Color") lngFinishCellColor = . Find(What:=rngTarget, After:=.Cells(1, 1), _ LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False).Offset(0, 1)..............
Below is my code to create a pivot table. The data is located on a 2nd sheet named 'Data2' in columns B & C. As you can see the range is already defined. How can i have this as a variable which holds the current address of the automatically selected - occupied cells in columns b-c? So in order a macro that can.
1) select all occupied cells in colums b-c 2)paste this range as an address in d1 3) assign a variable which has the range for the pivot table macro to complete its work.
Sub Macro8() Sheets("PivotReport").Select Range("B18").Select ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ "Data2!R1C2:R27C3").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:= _ "'PivotReport'!R18C2", TableName:= _ "PivotTable1", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10 ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = True With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Products") .Orientation = xlRowField .Position = 1 End With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _ "PivotTable1").PivotFields("QTY"), "Sum of QTY", xlSum ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = False Application. CommandBars("PivotTable").Visible = False End Sub
I filtered my database in such a way that i end up with a list in which different companies are shown.
For example: Companies (column A) MER MER TYH INT MER TYH TYH
Now i want excel to count for me the number of different companies active (so in this example it would be 3, that is MER + TYH + INT). Does anyone know how to make this formula?
