The thread title is the entire email message I got from a customer (thru the help desk). I have sent back asking her the following:
Is this happening in all excel documents you try or only some? Are you getting any sort of error message? Can you send me an Excel document you are having trouble with and tell me the exact actions you take?
While I am waiting for her answers, I thought I would ask here if anybody knew:What would cause this to happen?What sort of things I should look for?What other questions I could ask her?At the moment I do not know if she was in an Excel workbook that had vba code behind it or not. So my questions are for both what could be in vba code and what she could have done (without knowing) to cause this phenomenon
I wanted to stop users from using cut and paste as well as drag and drop so I found something in Ozgrid to do that. (http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/disable-cut-copy.htm)
Problem now is I am trying to run a macro that will copy and paste certain values, but because of the code I have added in the above link, whenever I click on a cell and copy it, when I click any other cell, the copy area gets cleared which of course disallows me from pasting it.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Dim oCtrl As Office.CommandBarControl With Application .CopyObjectsWithCells = True
.CellDragAndDrop = True .CutCopyMode = True 'Clear clipboard End With
'Enable all Cut menus For Each oCtrl In Application. CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=21) oCtrl.Enabled = True Next oCtrl
'Enable all Copy menus For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=19) oCtrl.Enabled = True Next oCtrl.....................
I'm trying to get one more feature added to this priority queue tool that a forum member created. Essentially, this attached spreadsheet is a dynamic task/priority list that will change on the fly. See the original thread here: [URL]
The only missing feature is the ability to delete an entry and have all other entries below it change up a rank.
The attached spreadsheet is the almost completed solution
Example:
Original ----------- Item D - 1 Item B - 2 Item E - 3 Item A - 4 Item C - 5
Remove item B ----------- Item D - 1 Item E - 2 Item A - 3 Item C - 4
if it is possible to have data validations on a cell within Excel but allow a user to input a formula? The data validation is a decimal between 0 and 1 and the formula would be a vlookup.
I have a workbook that has a macro that needs to run before it is closed. I have a button on my sheet that runs that macro and then closes the sheet. Is there a way that I can disable the "X" at the top right hand of the workbook and force the user to close the workbook via my button?
I have very limited VBA skills and I have tried to get a vlookup working on a userform. I need data from a range selected in ComboBox1 to drop into Textbox1. I have tried but it doesn't work.
I also need if possible a button that pushes the result of TextBox1 to a cell and another button that allows the user to edit the TextBox1 value in situ.
In MS Excel, I find that when the zoom is dropped to 50% the fonts in the list become unreadable. Is there anyway that the fonts in the list have the ability to have their own formats?
I am using a spreadsheet for a consignment sales program. I took over the spreadsheet already in use but want to improve on it.
Here are the important cells:
=(SUM(E2:M2)-SUM(N2:Q2))*1.35 This gives us the tentative order for 2013. First sum is amount sent, second is amount returned. The 1.35 is our built in sales expansion.
=ROUND(T2,0) Rounds the above result
Now I need to have a minimum of 5, so anything for tentative 1-5 would be a 5, and there are some negatives under tentative, need those to read 0. Can I get both of these to happen in the round column of step 2 above?
I have a simple bike log that lists out each day of the month in rows with a summary row between months. Like this...
January Summary Jan 1 Jan 2 Jan 3 .... Jan 31 February Summary Feb 1 Feb 2 Feb 3 .... Feb 28
and so on. Each column has a data field where I enter in miles and distance and so on. I frequently add rows if I do two rides in a day so two rows may start with "January 23rd". I would like to have a chart that shows me my weekly ride summary. But I have some issues: 1. With the field summary I don't know the best way to do a chart that doesn't include the summary (the summary data would throw the chart way off) 2. If I have multiple rides in a day I don't know how to make the week include those days 3. I may want the week to start on Monday and not Sunday. Is it possible to have the user choose and have the chart change automatically?
I have a text box. I want it to pull the data from Cell B2 and list it in the text box. The problem is that I want to be able to change the data if the user clieck inside the box and changes it.
I have a workbook that is used by others and has been working reasonably well for several years. The users are youngsters who tend to play with it when a bit bored but I usually manage to put things right. They seem to have done something special this time.
The formatting for dates, time and money has gone and I cannot correct it. I have tried the usual formatting of cells, painting formats from other sheets, copying and pasting formats all to no avail. The whole sheet is effected so that new entries appear the same way although the correct format appears in the formula bar.
I don't know if this is relevant but the sheet relies on VBA form inputs. The code is password protected and only I know the password.
The PC is not connect to the internet or a network so I have ruled out a virus. (As far as I know, no floppies or USB sticks have been used on it either.)
Having recently started to get involved in Visual Basic I have managed to write some code that has removed all of my menus except for File and Help. In a blind panic I deleted what I think was the offending VB code in a vain attempt to return the menus. This didn't work. I am now stumped.
Also, I managed to change the way the Cell selection works when I press Return. When I press Return, Excel now selects the cell to the right of the one I was in rather than the one below it. Is there a way I can change this back?
I just spent 8 hours of VBA coding completed and after exiting excel and re-opening the file, I have seem to lost all the 8 hours worth of VBA coding I just completed. For example, I created an extra module (Module 3) and that disappeared; I updated several SUB commands and even those did not update. My code was about accessing databases using the OpenDatabase method and I noticed that towards the end before I shut it, my connection to the database kept failing (hence the reason why I was closing it and reopening it).
I have a spreadsheet where I can change the colour of a cell by clicking the mouse, I also have text in many of the cells.
What I need to do is protect (lock) the text so that no one can change the text in any of the cells, but I still want to be able to change the colour of the cells by clicking the mouse in that cell.
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I'm essentially trying to place a column that is largely based on another....a function that will calculate the following information
Carriers with 1 Vehicle - 25.00 Carriers with 2-4 Vehicles - 100.00 Carriers with 5-9 Vehicles - 200.00 Carriers with 10-24 vehicles - 400.00 Carriers with 25-49 vehicles - 750.00 Carriers with 50+ vehicles - 1500.00
In other words.
One column in my spreadsheet has number of vehicles. I want another column that will provide the according application fee as found in the information above.
I have two files: let's say File1 and File2.File1 has one column: datas are in a text format.I copy this column. I want to paste it in my second file.File2 is closed.I open it and i paste my column. Here's my problem. If i let my first file opened, there's no problem(!!): my column is pasted as i want. My datas keep their original format. But, if i close my first file and after, i open File2 and i paste my column, then my datas lose their original format.My column takes a numeric format.I can see it because my datas are on the left in the column.And i can chek it by a sum: if i do 400+200, for example, the result is 600. In the first case(text format), the result is 0.I don't understand why.If someone can explain me this situation, i'd be happy.I repeat: my second file is closed. I open it after my copy in the first file.
On some worksheets and spreadsheets, when I save the formulas disappear, only to be replaced by the previously calculated values. It has become a real pain.
A IT Ordering system has been created using Excel, I am prompted to enable Macros, no problem there. The problem is that when I exit the worksheet using a formulas setup as an exit button, my Excel is displayed with my Toolbars missing. I have been unable right-click at the top and re-add these I am only presented with the option to minimise, close etc. 1. How can I replace my Toolbars? 2. Is there a formula fix so that I can use this worksheet without losing my toolbars?
I have an excel spreadsheet with numbers and the format has to show zeroes at the beginning (e.g. 0011111) It is always going to be a seven digit number. I can format the cells to show the numbers with the leading zeros, but as soon as I save the file as a csv, the leading zeros are lost.
Does anyone know how to the zeros can be retained when the file is saved in csv format?
I have created a spreadsheet in the field of marine surveying. In that sheet, I have used a lot of macros (21 modules) and a lot of VBA, most of it provided by kind people on this forum. But what has happened now, is that when I use that particular worksheet, the 'Undo' menu item in the 'Edit' menu has become permanently grayed out and it says 'Can't Undo'.
In other words, I cannot undo, even if I have made the wrong entry in an unprotected cell. If I use any other sheet, or make a new sheet, everything returns to normal. So, is there any way I can re-gain the 'Undo' facility, while using that particular sheet. I am using Excel 2003 on a Windows XP Home (SP3) platform.
I have been working on some files in excel for several days, saving regularly, etc. but have run into a huge problem. I was marking cells with a background color to organize and track my work, but the files being saved were .csv's.
From my research, it seems that .csv's only save data, not formatting such as cell background colors.
However, while I was working on the files, they displayed the colors correctly etc.
I am hoping that there is some sort of temporary file created by excel that would allow me to re-open my work and have the coloring appear so I can save the work as an .xlsx file with formatting.
I have a summary sheet using a macro to summarise multiple other worksheets. However, when I run the macro, the summary sheet loses all formatting.
For example, in one column of the "target" worksheets, the data is entered on multiple lines within a single cell, using alt+shift. When I run the macro the formatting is lost and the data in this specific range is displayed in one long row in a single cell. Also, font formatting is also lost.
In the attached example, the top row shows the original formatting on the "target" worksheet, but below that is the formatting after the macro has run and this is what shows on the summary.
I need it to be formatted as on the original if possible.
Have a project going and have had a disturbing trend develop. I'm working in Excel 2003. Upon opening the file and enabling macros, I started receiving File/Path errors, at which point it would shut down the application. When opened, I have a splash that would come up, but it wouldn't go to the next userform. At this point I would get the error message and the file would be closed. If I then reopened the file, disabled macros, saved under a different file name, and then reopened with macros enabled, everything worked fine, until I shut it down and then tried to reopen, at which point the same error would occur.
Lately I have simply been getting the Microsoft Excel dialogue box telling me an unexpected error occurred and it had to be shut down. I'm at a loss for what is causing this. The last time this happened, when Excel recovered the file, it told me a repair had been done, and the repair was to basically delete all of the VBA code from the file.
