VB Data Sorting Macro Unable To Sort Correctly
Jul 12, 2009I am putting together multiple worksheets with dumped data that should sort themselves by the press of a button. Each entry has a 'code' and a value and they are sorted by the 'code'.
At the moment i have the first worksheet sorting correctly and i am trying to program the second worksheet to sort data into the existing worksheets if they exist or create a new worksheet if the data doesn't have it's own worksheet.
Here is the code i am working with.
Unable To Sort Correctly
Oct 23, 2007I have a column with a value resulting from a fairly complex formula:
I will not include the formula, but basically what it does is a number of calculations including subtracting dates, that is
TODAY'S DATE - A GIVEN DATE (provided in a different cell)
That means that, either manually or automatically, those values are constantly recalculating (with every second that goes by, that value changes).
And the number of values/cells to update is not few: about 1100.
Here's the problem.
When I press SORT, Excel seems to be absolutely incapable of sorting that list correctly. The values are completely and randomly out of order.
I wonder if it could be due to the fact that given that those values would be constantly changing, there would be a conflict with the commands
sort
update
Unable To Sort With Protected Sheet?
Dec 30, 2013I have a sheet protected and filters enabled. I use this code to enable sort and filters:

To make changes, click Unprotect Sheet in the Review tab (you might need a password)."
Generate List Of Data Based On Sort Data From Another Worksheet
Feb 25, 2014I have Sheet1 "MASTER" and Sheet2 "Area1" and Sheet3 "Area2" etc...
My MASTER sheet has a list of employee names and the areas they work in. I have employees working in different areas, and I want to pull a list of employee names from the MASTER working in Area1 (sorted on the MASTER sheet) to column A on Sheet2, then pull a list of employee names working in Area2 to column A on Sheet3, etc...
I want it to do this in such a way that if I add an employee to Area1 on the MASTER data, it will populate that employee in the Area1 Sheet.
So basically, I'm looking at one column on the MASTER sheet to see if the area matches. Then looking at another column on the MASTER sheet to get the name. Then taking that name and transposing it to a new sheet corresponding to the area they work in.
I've attached a sample sheet. I want Column A in the Area1 sheet to reflect all names that show up on the Area1 LIST on the MASTER sheet, and nothing else. I'm using VLOOKUP to pull the rest of the data from the MASTER table.
There is a new sample workbook up now. Couldn't update it sooner due to site outage. I've removed irrelevant data to improve readability and focus on what I'm trying to achieve. Again, the main issue is scraping column E from the Master, and populating a list of all employees who match certain values in Column E on the Master in Column A of the other tabs.
Custom List To Sort Data
May 28, 2014I am having trouble finding info on this. I am trying to create a custom list to sort data.
I only want to sort two of the letters in my first Level or Column. For instance I want to sort Column A Alphabeticaly as A, B, C, D, but once I get to E, have the rest of the list in a random order that is sorted by my next level. Is there a wildcard character that can be used to have my next sorting level take over once I get to E?
Custom Sort Data Based On List With More Than 255 Characters
Apr 21, 2014How to sort a column of data based on a custom list with more than 255 characters.
I have created a named range with 40 entries and then added data validation in the cells of column D using the above named range. However, I want to be able to sort column D in the same order as the named range but the custom data sort lists are restricted to 255 characters.
VBA To Custom Sort Data Based On Referenced List
Feb 17, 2014Sort Example.xlsx
I have data in Sheet "Schedule" in range A8:C160 (including column headers), but note the length (rows) of the range is dynamic.
A8 = Customer
B8 = Load Time
C8 = Delivery Time
Columns B & C are formatted as h:mm:ss AM/PM, but Column B also includes text..."PRELOAD"
I would like a macro to sort the data based on column B, but the sort must follow a specific order, which is listed in Sheet "TimeSort", range A1:A50 (including header).
The custom order basically has "PRELOAD" sorting at the top, then sorting everything else chronologically starting at 6:00am.
The desired outcome would sort the range based on column B as follows...PRELOAD, 6:00:00 AM, 8:00:00 AM, 12:00:00 PM, 5:30:00 AM
Example is attached (desired sort is reflected).

VBA Code To Sort Data - Run-time Error When No Data To Sort
Mar 4, 2010I havet he following code which sorts data. If there is no data to sort I keep on getting a run time error. Could I add something to my code to prevent the run-time error, as sometime there won't be any data to sort. The code runs when I switch to the worksheet in question.

Range("AA" & zCTR).Value = Format(Range("D" & iCTR).Offset(0, yCTR), "HH:MM") & " " & Range("D" & iCTR).Value
zCTR = zCTR + 1
End If
Next yCTR
Next iCTR
Range("AA11:AA" & zCTR).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("AA11"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _

Unable To Paste Data
Jun 15, 2006One of my workbooks contains 6 worksheets. Quite often I need to copy a row of data from sheet 5 to sheet 1. I right click, copy, select sheet 1, right click and find that the paste options are greyed out and so unavailable. If I wanted to, all the other sheets would allow me to paste the data into them but not sheet 1. It did work until recently so I suspect that it is something that I have inadvertantly done. I have checked things like security, protection and the like but find myself now going around in circles.

Feb 9, 2014I am trying to graph the amount of calls that come in on each day and at what hour. I am trying to put the days of the month along the x axis and hours along the y axis. I then want the number of calls to show as a scatter at certain times on each day. Is this possible? I have attached a sample of a table I will be working with that has made up data on it. I have tried using the select data function to try and change the axis, but I do not think I am writing the correct things in.

Mar 28, 2013I was given 6 spreadsheets combined into one (the reason is immaterial-but valid) it is what it is... unfortunately! (42 columns, 14,000 rows of which 450 names are duplicated as illustrated below)
I want to merge duplicate data.. but not the way I see it shown in all the 'merge' and the 'delete duplicate' threads I have seen so far.
I manage a homeless shelter and someone duplicated the spreadsheets and started using the duplicates to enter fresh data.... several times!
As a result I now have somewhere around 8 instances, (or 7,5,3 etc) of every homeless guest, but it has duplicate data in some columns, and new data in others, for instance:
I want to turn this....
Name SS# 1st entry date, 2nd entry date, 3rd entry date, fourth entry date, etc...

John Smith, 123-45-6789, 1/5/2010, 7/13/2010, 3/30/2011,
I tried de-duping based on duplicate rows and that worked with the pure duplicates get out of the mix, but if I try to to de-dup on only the first two columns of data it may remove date I want to keep.So I need to de-dupe and merge at the same time.
Unable To Update Data Used By Function
Jun 1, 2006I have a function written in excel written in VBA. The function reads data from a worksheet and uses it in an array to solve based on the variable passed with the function. Now the issue is if I change variable that the are passed with the function it works fine. If, however I update values in the worksheet that the function is using as an array (sort of a look up table) the function doesn't see the change. I have to exit Excel and reopen it to get it to re calculate the function. Is there a better/faster way than continually closing and reopening excel?

Unable To Calculate Copy / Paste Data In Excel
Apr 21, 2014I just copied a table from the web which contains numbers in the last column.
I pasted the data into Excel, but when I try to run any type of calculation i receive a #VALUE! error.
The annoying 'workaround' is to re-type the same numerical text into it's own cell, which allows for calculation.
I've tried changing the cell formatting to 'general', and 'text', but I still receive the #VALUE! error, when trying to calculate.
Excel 2007 :: Unable To Enter Any Data In Spreadsheet?
Apr 19, 2008Very simple Excel 2007 spreadsheet. It consist of four columns with either numeric or alpha data in the. No formulas, no macros etc...
She emailed the spreadsheet to me and it works fine, I can enter data without problems. Whenever she tries to use it she just can't enter any data. She clicks in a cell and it highlights but she doesn't get a cursor and can't enter data. If she tries to click in the area underneath the toolbar to enter data she also does not get a cursor!! It used to work just fine for her but has suddenly stopped!
Data Validation And Conditional Formatting Unable To Save?
Jun 4, 2013I have a pretty simple spreadsheet (because I'm not an expert on excel) to track temp staffing requirements each week over a year. It only has about 150 rows and a bunch of columns but when I try to make it bigger (add more rows so I can put about 70 staffing positions instead of 19) it will not save (cannot save all of the data and formatting). I have read on the microsoft site that there are limits to data formatting, but it describes over 2000 rows?

Sep 4, 2013Error in data validation: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
Full description:
I created a spreadsheet model (no VBA, just formulas, etc) in a workbook that another coworker took and added VBA to. However, he was not working with the most updated version. So last night I checked the sheets which had the same names, made sure there were no differences except the changes I had made since that version, and then moved the ones from my current workbook into his workbook.
On the sheet where the user was to input details of the report, there are 4 cells that each contain different lists (non-dependent). I want the user to only be able to choose one of the 4 drop down menus - that is, if any of the 4 cells are filled in, I would like the other 3 to default to N/A (or somehow not be allowed to be chosen). This was solved in a previous thread:
Using A1: =IF(COUNTA(A2:A4),NA(),G2:G6) from the other thread solution, I used a named range instead of G2:G6 and it worked well.
When I merged the files together, the 4 cells no longer worked at all. It was suggested that I look at the Name Manager, and some of te named ranges I had were in there multiple times. I cleaned them up.
I tried to enter the same formula again, and it gave me the specific error: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
I am unable to load the spreadsheet due to sensitive data, and removing the data would make the workbook make no sense.
Excel 2013 :: Unable To Create Data Form?
Feb 7, 2014Excel 2013 on a surface tablet and attempting to create a data form. I've followed the necessary steps to try and add the "Form" button to the quick access toolbar, but "Form" is simply not a listed command. Have looked in "All Commands", "Commands not listed in the ribbon" and "Data Tab" and it's nowhere to be found. Not greyed out, just not there.
Frustrating because it's so easy to create a form on past versions of excel. All the tutorials I've seen online explain how to add "Form" to the quick access toolbar

May 7, 2009Is it possible to sort numerous worksheets based off a list of cells that are the names of the worksheets within the same file? For example my worksheet names are:
YTD Texas
YTD Florida
Period Texas
Period Florida
I can sort the sheets by alpha but it puts the two YTD worksheets together when I need the two Texas sheets side by side (I need this on a file that contains over 100 worksheets otherwise I would do it manually) I was wondering if I could create my order of sheet name in another worksheet and reference that list through vba code?
Getting A List To Automatically Sort
Oct 17, 2013I am trying to get a list to sort automatically. I am running a competition over an 11 week period and entering weekly data that is totalled on a separate "Totals" sheet.
This "Totals" sheet, in turn, feeds a "Scores" sheet which I want to automatically sort in descending order of score in order to show the current positions in the competition.
The data in the list isn't entered directly but comes from formulas that reference cells in other workbooks.
I have found ways of sorting a list when you enter data into the list itself but what I need is a macro that will update the sort order automatically whenever a new value is entered in one of the other workbooks.

Feb 18, 2007I have a large list of phrases, about 30,000 all in Col A. (From A3 to be exact)
What I want is to sort by number of characters.
I know excel can sort A-Z,,, but I can't see by number of characters??
Is there anyway I can sort this list by No of Characters please??
List does include letters and numbers.
But they are mainly 3-4 keyword phrases.
This is so from a large list all the least amount of characters will be at the top of the list so I can easily see them,, and probably delete most of the 1,2,3,4 character returned results.
