I cannot figure out why this setting has changed. When I right click my tab worksheet in Excel to copy or rename, it does not allow me. I will need your advice to re-activate that options so it is visible and not gray. I tried in the VBA workbook properties settings with no luck and also Tools, Options.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI would like to restore some important functionality in Excel 2007 which has become disabled for a spreadsheet which I saved in different file formats.
I opened an Excel 2003 file with Excel 2007 and used 'Save As' into different formats (default, macro-enabled, binary) to see the resulting file size.
A number of Ribbon items are now greyed out for this file, including,
- Insert - Tables, Illustrations, charts, etc.
- Styles - conditional formatting and Format as table,
- Formula Auditing
- Data - just about all of them
- View - some of the Window items.
Also, I cannot resize or move a button on a worksheet.
Attempts to 'Save As' into the Excel 2003 format cause Excel 2007 to hang.
What caused so many features to become disabled?
How do I restore them?
I am using Excel 2000 on Windows 2000. There are no macros on spreadsheet and no protections at all yet I acnnot use trace precedents/dependents as the items are greyed out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2010 and when I highlight a range and right click 'name a range' is greyed out. I can bypass this by going to the formulas tab and defining a name from there.
Anything I can check to see why this is not an option for me?
I wonder if it is possible to make a macro that right clicks a cell and then chooses a option from the list?
View 11 Replies View RelatedSuppose I delete a (unknown) number of items from the Worksheet Menu Bar. This can vary because of the fact that my excel sheet is being used by a different number of people, all with a different Worksheet Menu Bar configuration. Is there a way of counting how many Menu items are still left in the Worksheet Menu Bar?
So, suppose all that is left (after using the program) in the Worksheet Menu Bar are Excel, File, Tools, Help. How can the porgram find out that there are only 4 items in the menu?
I am using excel 2007 and when I right click on the worksheet tab, delete is greyed out. My workbook/sheet is not shared. I also had the problem owith row and columns. CommandBars("row").Reset sorted that out but I can't seem to sot out the tab issue.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to give my application menu when the user right-clicks on a specific series of cells. I've already got the code that will limit the right-click options to the cells that I want.
How do I then form and execute the menu that I want the user to see - "Archive Data", "Edit Data", "Add Data", for instance, rather than the normal right-click menu?
I have been modifying the options available on my right click menu, getting rid of about half of what was there and adding items I use quite often like Paste Values, Paste Formats, Paste Formulas, Sort..., AutoSum, and Format as Percent, as well as adding group dividers. I have it just the way I want it, but I have one issue. If the clipboard is empty, all of the paste buttons are disabled on the Standard toolbar and in the Edit menu as are the Paste and Paste Special... items on the right click menu, but the new paste items I added to my right click menu are still enabled. If I click on one, I get a "PasteSpecial method of Range class failed" error because I have no range selected. I got around this by adding On Error Resume Next to the macros of my added paste functions - not elegant, but functional. Is there a way to have those items appear grayed out and disabled on my right click menu when the clipboard is empty as opposed to my current workaround?

I have acquired code to add an item to the right-click menu.
I have added my item using "before:=1", which works fine by putting the item at the top of the list of items in the menu.
My problem is that I require to add the same item ( obviously with a different name ) that needs to be at the bottom of the list.
The reason being, that the pop-up can either display downwards or upwards and I want the user to be in closest proximity of the item.
if it possible ) to add an item to the bottom of the list.
The line I need to change is:
CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=1).Caption = "MyMacros2"
I created a right-click menu for userform textboxes from a code I found through googling. It works perfect, however, I don't know how to get it to work for more than one textbox.
Here's the code for the userform:

Problem is that when I right click my makro keeps copying itself. Ten times right click=ten my macro in the right click menu. It means that
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate() doesn't work as it should be?
Is it possible to create a menu that could be called by a double click which would allow you to click on a value from that menu and insert it into the double clicked cell. I know I could use a data validation list, but that is tacky and you have to scroll down the list to find the data you would like. I'd like to have a menu pop up that stores different values in 6 columns and 25 rows. Any way without having to jump into an access database?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've run into this really strange problem with my right click menu (popup command bar) The UF that handles the cb is loaded at workook open event and it's modal*
When first right click, the commandbar is invisible, but it's there. Only shadow seems, and when click on arrow, starts showing menu. I could say that something like repaint needed. If i click on anything, next time it popups normally !!
The problem does not occur if:
1) i load the uf manually
2)* display the UF modeless
I have few questions,
1. why the "auto sum" icon grey out, and doesn't work.
2. when I right click the sheet, the menu doesn't show up.
3. Insert columns/rows, When I highlight 2 columns/rows, right-click the mouse & the menu doesn't show up for me to choose insert col/row.
Right click menus are a well known topic but I am struggling to find information on what I want to do with them. I have seen it done so I know its possible. What I want to do is completely replace the right click menu with my own custom one on a worksheet.
I do NOT want to add things to the existing right click menu I want to effectivly disable the existing one and put on my very own one in its place. I have looked at the code for adding a menu to a textbox etc which seems sound but I can't trigger it with an event. I don't have any code to show Im afraid as I am just playing with other people at the moment trying to get it to work.
I have a list box with items. When I stay on item and press mouse right click, I want see pop up menu with "remove this item" and "add new item".

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to add Paste Values to the right click menu in Excel 2007. Can this be done without recording a separate macro to run it? What I mean is If I add the command itself to the right click menu, can it run of of the standard RightClick -> Paste Special -> Values option, or must I record a macro that does those steps each time?

I'm working on a sheet which uses a fair amount of indirects, deleting or adding rows bugger these up, so I wanted to replace them with a macro which does if for them and keeps the structure intact. I've sorted the macro to do this and have sorted the macro to replace delete with my delete in the cell RC menu but the row RC menu only seems to work on around 50% of the PC's? All PC's are XP with XL 2003. The code I've used is detailed below. Is this a known issue with XL or something funky with some of the PC's?

I am developing a program for my electrical calculations (electrical panel). In the program, on my worksheet, I need all row inserts/deletes being watched and logged into another worksheet. I have become to a conclusion it would be best done by "taking over" default behaviour of built-in right-click menu commands like "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete".
In the ozgrid tips page I found some solutions how to deactivate those commands, but that is not what is best for me - when the menu item (or a corresponding key) is pressed, I would like to check if the ActiveCell (or ActiveRow) meats some criteria, and acording to that, make some changes in my "log" - and after - let further actions to default command behaviour. I think of it like "BeforeDelete", "BeforeInsert" or something. In fact the "log" is the worksheet with coordinates of my tables from the first worksheet, which should be changed according to new size of a table after the row insert or delete.
Came across an example in a VBA book, wrt adding custom menu items. This example included code for deleting the menu item before closing the workbook.
Is there a reason you'd want to do this? The example already had provisions to delete the menu item if it already existed before the code ran, so you wouldn;t end up with multiple items...
One can create additional menu items for the right click, and these will show up always at the bottom. Is it possible to force them to appear at the top of the menu list above cut? This is specific to Macro created items.
