When I limit the scrolling area in a worksheet, and it works there and then, when I close and reopen the whorkbook, the limiting does not work.
This is how I do it:-
I Right-click the sheet tab for the sheet which I want to place a limit.
In the resulting Context menu, I choose View Code. The VBA editor appears and asks for the password to view the code. I keyin the password
I then set in my limit as B2:O25
Then I close the VBA Editor and display the worksheet where I try and I find it working.
I have a sheet in which I want to limit the scrolling area to B2:B60 & D2:H60, in other words I don't want to include neither A2:A60 nor C2:C60 in my scrolling area.
Is there a way to do this?
I know I can lock the cells, however, pre-existing code will not work if cells are locked.
I have a worksheet with a column("A:A") of about 1000names. The user will start at the top and work down, entering stuff into other columns for some ofthe names. My need is: How do you automatically scroll, with code, say row 48to the top of the worksheet when the user reaches row 48 with?.
When the user scrolls the worksheet (using a scroll wheel, or the scroll bars) I would like to have a VBA-code triggered, but in Excel 2003 there is no "VBA-event" for scrolling...
Is there any way of trapping that a scroll has happened, even if the selection didn't change?
I have an excel sheet embedded in a Powerpoint presentation, but I have the problem that users are editing the sheet and accidently or unknowingly scrolling around. This results in the window resizing itself when the exit the object and messing up the appearance of the presentation. Is there a way of easily preventing scrolling (either via VBA or other)? I can obviously hide the scroll bars but that does not prevent the use of the mouse's scroll-wheel. I have also already hidden all unused columns and rows so that they cannot oversize the window.
able to keep a chart stationary while scrolling through a worksheet entering data. A few points:
1) 'Freeze pane' wouldn't work for me since the chart is too large and I'd prefer to have the data sheet unfrozen for easy perusal.
2) I saw mention of opening a separate window with the chart in it, while having the workbook window aligned next to it. I don't know if that can work, but I'd also prefer to just have the chart on the worksheet and stationary.
I have a workbook with 8 sheets, one of which is the "main" sheet that holds all of my user data for logins at my job (I'm in IT). There are about 4300 users and 23 fields for each user, so there are 4300 rows in the sheet. Other sheets in the book are important, but not as much as this one.
The workbook has a total of over 1000 lines of VBA code right now, as I'm building a tool that finds users, adds users, modifies users, etc. (I know, Access would be smarter for this, but for some reason they want me to use an xls). Most of this code works with the sheet that I'm having the problem on.
This ONE sheet has seemed to disable the functionality of the scroll wheel, and I can't use Page Up or Page Down while in the sheet either. Also, if I select cells with VBA (Sheet2.Range(<range>).Select), it will select the cell, but it will not draw focus to that cell on screen (the sheet will not move at all). The other 7 sheets in the workbook have all regular functionality.
This just started happening a couple days ago, and I've been building the code for about a week, so I'm wondering if it's something in the code...?
1)I am trying to specify the area of a worksheet, for example columns a-z and rows 1-1000 but I am having great difficulty in doing this. I have tried selecting the last row and shift>end>down, Edit >all then Edit>delete but nothing happens. The screen just flickers and all the rows are still there. Even specifying the print area does not do it. Any answers?
2) Any ideas how to sum a datalist by text in a box? I.e if there are 1000 rows selected how amny are filled. If there is a way of selecting 'any text' this would work but there is no constant value/text to use.
I would like to set the printer area of an Excel worksheet. I would like to print one page starting from row A3005-V3220. However, I cannot change the print area. Excel wants each row to be another page. When I drag the blue print area lines, nothing happens. So right now I have 216 pages and only want one!
I’m working on a macro to clear the contents of all the cells in a certain area of the worksheet that are not locked and do not contain a hyperlink.
(C7 is the first data-entry cell; EndPage1 is a specific cell near the bottom right of the sheet that sets the outside range of the cells to be cleared. This is the code so far:
I have a range of cells (L1:Q1) I want to copy from a worksheet called Email from one workbook and copy it into an already created and saved workbook called 'TDocuments.xls' located in the root of my C: drive.
Thing is I need to paste this range into the first blank row of TDocuments.xls, so it will need to find that first and then paste the values (without formulas) into the TDocuments.xls and save it.
I have a workbook which has a variety of command buttons with assigned macros, one of which is a product detail button which redirects to a new worksheet.
Is it possible to be able to click on the button, display a new window (the new worksheet), but only display a section of it?
For example, I have 5 products. Each of the five products are detailed on the same worksheet and I have a button for each. I would like Button 1 to open up the details for product 1 only and button 2 to open up product 2 details etc.
I could go to individual sheets, but if I had 2000 products, the book would be a little large.
How can I print 2 selected area (highlighted area). I know there is a trick to do that. Right now I can only select (highlight) one area to print, but would like to know how to print 2 or more areas at same time
In one sheet i have a list from cell a1:a1000. I have named this selection 'headkit' In another sheet, i am using 'headkit' to make a drop down list in a cell. At the moment a lot of headkit hasn't yet been filled and contains lots of empty cells that will be filled as time goes by.
The drop down list currently has all the items in the list including the blank cells therefor making a very large blank list.
Is it possible to limit the list to show only cells with an entry in them?
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I just converted from Excel 2003 to 2007 and print previewed a worksheet and find a tiny image with a small portion of the print area. When I look at the sheet in page break preview mode, I see the 8.5 x 11 sheet broken up into approx 77 smaller sheets. When I try to move the page breaks to include the whole sheet it states the change cannot be made as it will result in an image less than 10%. I have attached two images - the first shows the print preview I get, and the second show the multiple pages when I view in page break.
I have this code that applies an Alt-Enter command following text being entered in a range named "ActivityRange". ActivityRange is only one row currently, but I have another macro that inserts a row into that range. This code works to add an Alt-Enter after text typed into a cell, but it does it for every cell in the row. I want it to only apply to column "C" and not any values in other Rows. In other words, only apply this command if values are entered into column "C", of the range "ActivityRange".
Anyone know how to alter the code below to accomplish this?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim Cell As Range If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("ActivityRange")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Application.EnableEvents = False For Each Cell In Range("ActivityRange") If Len(Cell.Value) > 0 Then Cell.Value = Cell.Value & Chr(10) Next Cell Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
I need a few of my textboxes to not accept entries of greater than 40, Also need a message box warning to popup if this is done. I've seen some examples that are vaguely similar, but not quite what I need. I already have the following in place to limit characters:
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger) Select Case KeyAscii Case Asc("0") To Asc("9") Case Asc(".") If InStr(1, Me.TextBox1.Text, ".") > 0 Then KeyAscii = 0 End If Case Else KeyAscii = 0 End Select End Sub
I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region: So one region, would be: Northwest I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.
I work for a localizer of text heavy software. Our developers normally use a converter to pull text out of a file and insert it into the program. This text is normally input into an Excel file since it has to correspond with files/locations in the program.
Since the space on the screen of the program is limited, we often face character limits when inputting text into Excel. Now, one cell might hold up to 255 characters, and I could restrict that with data validation, but within one cell I need to restrict each line (with a hard return) to 30 characters to fit on the screen.
So for example I have a row of cells that look like: ....
Is there a way to limit the range of values on the Y-Axis on the lower end? Like I don't wish the Y-axis to begin from 0 but say 500. Is that possible?
I have a set of data values ranging from 650 - 850, but the Excel graph however looks too fine because the Y-axis begins from 0.
It's some code I found and altered that automatically updates the cell to the right of a column that has drop down box data validation, creating a list of the selected values seperated by commas. The thing is, I only want it to do this in columns 8 and 10 but data validation drop-down boxes have been used in several other columns. I've tried various methods of limiting the scope, the latest being the line: If Target.Column = 8 Or 10 Then. But the auto update is still being applied to all drop down boxes in the sheet. So, how can I make sure the auto update only happens when the drop down boxes in columns 8 and 10, updating into columns 9 and 11.
I'm creating a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) in which a user enters data in several cells, each of which will permit different numbers of characters (to include spaces). For example, in the first cell, the user will be limited to 50 characters, in the second cell, the limit is 30 characters, and so on.
I found the data validation error alert feature, but want to give the user a cue that the entry is too long so they know to stop typing before moving to the next cell. If they only are alerted when they finish making the entry, they might not take the time to properly reconstruct the entry to meet the size limitation. I'm trying to make this more user-friendly.
Is there a way to set up the worksheet so the user knows that the entry is approaching the character limit? For example, each character filling an individual cell or having a display appear with a count-down for the number of characters remaining in the limit, or something similar.
I have a spreadsheet that will always have the dates needed in cells H40 and H42. I would like the calendar to utilize the data validation in the cell to only allow someone to choose a date that is between the dates in H40 and H42.
