I'm interested if it is at all possible to configure say, one sheet that is a rough visual layout of an inventory shelf, and if an object on said shelf was clicked, then relevant text would be displayed in the respective fields.
So if I had a picture of a shelf full of groceries on sheet1, and say clicked on a can of beans, then beside my picture of the shelf full of groceries, it will copy over the information I keep relevant to my beans.
If possible I would like to create using vba a button at the end of my rows of data allowing a user to copy and insert the row next to the button, i.e. duplicate.
I am using the following code to create the button but am not clear how to link a button to a row or cell. The button would be within a cell in a row at the end of the data.
Range("a2").Offset(rowoffset, 10).Select
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add ActiveCell.Left, ActiveCell.Top, ActiveCell.Width, ActiveCell.Height
rowoffset increments within a loop and a button is placed at the end of each row of data.
I would also like to know how to name the button.
I have a form that contains a group box with option buttons, and for clarity's sake, next to it another group box, also with option buttons. So, I can choose 1 option in one box and another option in the other box at the same time. I'm sure you heard me coming a mile away, but here it goes anyway: how can I link the two group boxes (and option buttons) so I would only be able to choose 1 option out of both boxes?

1 spread sheet has 1500 filenames store in Column A and the another spreadsheet has all filenames(Near 3500) in column A and their properties in the next three columns.
Can anyone teach me how to automatically match the same filename and merge together the data and put to sheet 3?
so in sheet 3 I can have the following
Column A = Filename | Column B = Property 1 | Column C = Property 2 | Column D= Property 3
I am trying to match certain types of data from one datasheet to another. I want to match the address from the VOA worksheet to the local occupier. telephone number and local contact which are located on the raw data worksheet.
I have used the INDEXMATCH function but it doesn't correctly match the data properly as it fills certain fields that don't exist in the raw data.
I am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
Is there a quicker way?
Is it possible to change the color of buttons or command buttons? There does not seem to be any place that allows this under properties for buttons, although there does for command bars. However, I've tried recording a macro as I change the color, but nothing get's recorded so I'm not sure what the syntax would be.
I have a spreadsheet with several buttons and I'd like them to change colors as they are pressed so it's possible to see what you've already done. And then, as soon as any other cell on the sheet is changed, the buttons reset color.
It is quite standard to create links between workbooks, and generally I do this by inserting an "=" sign in the cell I want data to appear in for Workbook 1, I then open workbook 2 where the desired data is and click on the cell housing the data I want.
I just went to do this, and upon putting the = sign in the cell I want in workbook 1 and clicking in workbook 2 nothing happens except my cursor is now in workbook 2 and the = sign just remains alone in the workbook 1 cell.
If, however, I put an = sign in a cell in workbook on and then click another cell in that sheet or a cell in another worksheet but in the same workbook a proper link is created, so the problem seems to be isolated to links to other workbooks.
I've attached a basic excel file with an example of the problem I need to solve. As you can see, if you select "No" to "Do they have a pet?" then conditional formatting blocks out the next field. The problem with that is, it still allows you to enter a value into the "Type" field which is skewing my results. Is there a way to allow a value in "Type" ONLY if there is "Yes" in "Do they have a pet?". I would also like it to delete the value in "Type" if I later select "No" instead of just covering it up. Is this possible? I'd like to avoid the scripting route if at all possible but I'm not sure it is...
Also, I have two linked spreadsheets, one pulls the totals off the other. However, If I add rows into the original it does not update the total formulas in the second sheet. Is there a way to make it do this automatically?
I am working with excel2003. I have to different workbooks in which on is a Bill of lading that is used to show the items being shipped. The other workbook has a list of the items that we ship.
On the BOL I want to be able to type in the "L" number (or I.D. number) in D14, D19, D24, D29. By typing in the L-number I want it to automatically bring up the product name into cells E14, E19, E24 and E29. With the exact name of the item it will help prevent employee error. I want it to also bring over the exact weight over from the flavor list in cell range C5:C28.
I have the FlavorCodes range with all the L-numbers on the BOL in cell range U9:U48. I thought I had it set up correctly but when I select the L-number in the drop down list in cells E14, E19, E24 and E29 I get error code #NA. I thought I defined the cell range but it is still not working.
The workbooks are attached below.
I have a problem and wanted to know if there was an easier way to create links to various worksheets. I have a folder with 59 worksheets. The names of the Worksheets are the weeks of the year(example LA-01-01-09) I have another workbook with 13 worksheets one for every month and a sheet that totals the whole year up.
What I want to know is how can I create a link to everyone of those weekly sheets to go to my monthly sheets,so when data is entered into the weekly sheet the monthly sheet will update automatically? The weekly sheets are setup exactly the same. I'm looking only to pull row 3 columns c:d:f:g:h:i over to my monthly sheet.
I have an example of my weekly sheet and monthly sheet.
I have a Form that when the 'SUBMIT' button is clicked, I would like to validate the information and then write it to a 'MASTER SHEET'. However, the validation has gotten lengthy and I have opted to put the validation code in a separate Module to keep my general code a little cleaner.

The original code would kick you back to the form if something was wrong via a 'END SUB', but as now the SUB is on a different Module, it isn't working.

I want to pull data from about 100 different Excel files. They are located in
the same folder and drive and the data I want is in consistent cell
locations. I would to find a fast way to reference the files. something like
S:FolderJanuaryCaseNumber1.xls that will allow me to pull-down the
folumula and copy the month and case number from two separate fields on my
spreadsheet. So I would specify the month and case numbers and have them
automatically populate my link formula.
in each cell I have formatted a Workday formula which is for example:
=WORKDAY(D16,3)
Now I want to add to that function
"If D16 is blank return blank"
What I am getting at the moment is that the if D16 is blank I am getting #VALUE!
THis makes the sheet very hard to read.
I run a number of spreadsheets each 4 week period and these are stored in a folders named after the period. ie Period 10 will contain workbookA10wk1, workbookA10wk2, workbookA10wk3 and workbookA10wk4,
Period 11 will contain the same workbooks but named workbookA11wk1 etc.
The data from the workbooks is then used in graphs / tables for each year.
I always pick up the same cell ref in each workbook to compare each week and my table is set out with heading of period and wk.
Is it possible to use the table headings to produce the names of the workbooks that you wish to reference, ie: ='Period 13[workbookA13wk1.xls]Sheet1!$D$17 to appear under Period 13, wk1
I am working on a project and if i hit button one in my VB program i need it to pull up a program under c:programfiles/user/name.xls
how do I go about linking cells?
Example:
Lets say I have a workbook with 6 sheets on it and the sheets names are:
Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
Sheet4
Sheet5
Status
And we will just use cell A1 through sheet1 to sheet5 and the status sheet to grab the numbers from sheet 1 through sheet5
Sheet1 through sheet5 will have numbers in cells A1
Sheet1 : 586
Sheet2 : 436
Sheet3 : 621
Sheet4 : 610
Sheet5: 561
And in the status sheet I would like to find the highest number from these 5 sheets and put it in cell A1 status sheet and have it linkable like when it finds the highest number it will put it in cell A1 on the status sheet and when I click on the A1 cell in the status sheet I would like it to goto that sheet that has the highest number it found and maybe highlight it or something.
I have a multi-tabbed spreadsheet that keeps crashing when I try to set up a reference from one tab to another tab in the same spreadsheet (e.g., =Sheet2!B1) . The spreadsheet does NOT have any macros in it although my Personal.xls DOES have numerous macros that I have been using for over 6 years with no problems. In any ase, when I start Excel without loading personal.xls, so that NO macros are loaded, the spreadsheet still causes Excel to crash when I try to set up the reference to another tab.

when a new project is created on a new (projects/quote) spreadsheet, it looks to the summary spreadsheet and looks to see if that project exists in the summary, if not, it creates a new line and writes the summary details to it. then as the project spreadsheet evolves, it updates its details on the summary sheet dynamically.

I create the billing data for some key accounts and I was asked to build a summary sheet that brought all of them into one place so that the billing department didn't have to open each individual spreadsheet each month to verify their info to mine. What I would like to accomplish is to stay current according to today's date.
So if it's March, 10, 2014, I need to update the spreadsheet data according to the February 2014 spreadsheet a Key Account #1. Then in April, I need it to look for the new March 2014 spreadsheet. I'm assuming I can use an =IF(OR(... formula for this, but I'm just not sure how to get the date thing sorted out.
As far as naming of the the Key Accounts billing spreadsheets, they go something like 0214 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Then the new one will be 0314 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Even tho the next months billing file isn't created, the formula should be able to check against the date and know when to look for the new one.
You have two Workbooks open. Workbook 1 and Workbook 2.
You COPY all the data from Workbook 1 and PASTE the data as a 'Link' into Workbook 2.
You then save and close both Workbooks.
You then open Workbook 1 and edit the data. You save and close Workbook 1.
QUESTION
Will the linked data in Workbook 2 update automatically (i.e., without opening the file)?
I have a list of countries in excel and a list of partner countries, the countries all have individual country codes.
Example:
country partner country exporter country code importer country code year value
Australia..........Belgium........................AUS.........................BEL..1999..1000

This for a long list of countries, I have filled in the country codes for the first year manually but the list goes on to 2008 and is a lot of work to do manually, (thousands of cells). is there a way to complete the list of exporter and importer codes linked to the country and partner country column and then complete the whole list?
