Lower Screens Brightness To Save Power When Desired
Feb 21, 2012
Have a system that runs 8 monitors on one computer. 4 are very large screens. Creates a lot of heat and uses much power.
Is there a way to dim the screens brightness in VBA. Looked all over and can't find any code.
Not really looking for a screensaver as they can cause interrup problems etc if I have programs running for hours. And I can't just turn off some screens as then desktop icons placements get scrambled.
Just want to dim screens with a macro, then undim it. Don't need to have it linked to the mouse movement, but that might be nice too.
I tried a macro that said "Dim MyScreens" but nothing happened.

I have four to five screens being displayed. After 10 hours the screens time out and go into password protection mode.
Is there a way to send a refresh to each of these IE windows to keep them from going into password mode.
They are being watch and security in not the problem. The hours spent logging back into four to five screens are getting really old and time consuming.
I also have MS vb express that I can use but would rather use excel.

I have 3 Excel files open. There's one unnamed file that I can open in the background with no problem. Then I have 2 data files. I'd like to be able to view them both at the same time, side by side, but for some reason I cant. They both seem to occupy the same window. Every time I goto the task bar and try switching windows they occupy each other's window. Is there a way to view files side by side?

1, Is it wise to have a continuous looping file like this as on some computers when this file is run it sounds like the computer is going to take off?!? (having said this it will only be ran on one computer that will never be used for anything else while the program is running)
Well - all thats happening is that the Excel workbook is hogging essential system resources - i.e. memory and CPU time and extra continuous CPU load is causing the machine to heat up which switches on the Fan.... be thankful the Fan is working
I didnt do a code walkthrough to see if there was a more efficient way of doing it, but if the machine isnt being used by anthing else, and it is in a well ventilated area (Air Con?) then I wouldnt see this as being a big problem. Just make sure the fan doesnt break down or you might have some sparks.
2, Could this be done in a powerpoint presentation. e.g have an excel spreadsheet on each slide and automatically update the links every x mins. You could then just set the slide show to continuous loop.
Well, possibly yes... the idea is good, but as far as I know you would have to rewrite the code to work in PPT. That is - you cant just drop an excel sheet with code onto a PPT slide and expect it (The Excel code) to work... you would need to code each slide again. I think... Not sure how easy that would be as I know little about PPT.

So I have been playing around with the tab colors on my workbook and am trying to figure out the correlation between color brightness and the auto change from black text to white text. I've noticed that if the Green color value is higher, excel is more likely to use the black text. If Blue is high, white. Green takes precedence over Blue and Red is just kind of in its own world.how excel calculates this?

Is there a data validation that will not allow all upper case or all lower case characters?
For examples:
Allow:
John Doe
101A N Woodbine Street
Disallow:
JOHN DOE
101A N WOODBINE STREET
Disallow:
john doe
101a n woodbine street
Or perhaps formatting that would convert the words to upper/lower case?
Or, I would be interested in VBA if it is the only way.

I was hoping to make it even bigger but it looks like i might be stoped in my tracks. I have a reasonaby powerful computer and excel 2003. Does anyone know a way i could increase the capacity of this one particular workbook as it will be used by many people to enter data daily.

To find the power ( i.e. ^ n) when you have other variables.
Mathematical Perspective as well as through EXCEL..
Ex: 5^n = 125
We know that 5^3 = 125,
Now if I have been given the value 5 and 125 , then how do i get the answer 3 ( i.e ^ n) value...
I need to solve a slightly complex issue and therefore need help for the above requirement as well as to get the "n" value..

I am trying to fit a cooling graph with a trendline and I have found the power line to fit the best, as well as corresponding with Newton's law of cooling. However, I am not savvy enough to discuss how similar or dissimilar the two equations are!
the resulting equations from two different curves are as follows:
y=4305 x^-0.87733
y=4025 x^-0.91004
both fits have an R^2 of 0.996.
I am analyzing two scenarios of cooling the same object with three variables, one intended (the extraction of energy using water flow in one case, and no extraction in the other) and the others not under my control: different starting temperatures and different ambient temperatures. I need to understand if these are generally the same curve, or how very different are they? is there any statistical way to represent their relationship?

I am trying to write a routine (via two comboboxes) that will enable users to select a choice of charts from one of three possible worksheets and have the charts on the selected sheet copied to PowerPoint. My difficulties are these:
a. I cannot determine how to pass the selections to Excel (see b. as well)
b. In some instances my charts are actually groups of a chart and a picture. how I should reference these? They are obviously not ChartObjects: when I use the macro recorder all I get is a range.

I have a string of n pairs and want to check various combination of that string.
Example: Pairs 58 78 15
Since I know I have 3 pairs (but it can be 2 or 4), I know the number of combination I want to test, ie 2 power 3 = 8 combinations. How can I program a code creating the various strings, ie 587815, 587851, 588715, 588751, 857815, 857851, 858715, 858751 ?
This is what I have so far (not much):
Public unique_pair 'number of pairs provided by another macro
Public mystring 'provided by another macro
Sub make_guess()
Dim number_of_combination, i
number_of_combination = 0
number_of_combination = 2 ^ unique_pair
For k = 1 To number_of_combination
'how to generate the various string ????
Next k
End Sub

I've been trying to get power query to search a list of parcel numbers on an assessor site: [URL]. The problem I'm getting, every time you put in a different parcel number, you get the same URL for the results. I want to extract just a few pieces of information for each parcel search, but I can't initiate a search through excel. I'm thinking the problem is in the Data source settings. How can just get it to show me the assessors page results for a single parcel search in excel?

I need to be able to send my selected range of cells (to include: the spreadsheet background, colored cells and all values contained) to Power Point for a daily product. I found this great VBA online and would like to use it but the problem is I keep getting funny results. It doesn't matter what cells I select I keep getting a extra margin on the left side and top of the pasted product in power point. I then have to crop the results... I have looked at the macro (from my noodie eyes) and cannot seem to find a way to adjust this added on margin.

Using Excel 2013.
Trying to create a Calculated Column in a table to put Expense in 1 of 4 categories
I came up with =CALCULATE(sum([TotalExpense]),FILTER(factExpense,factExpense[ExpnseType]="Sundries"))
But that is returning total instead of a total for each record What did I miss?
This works for the first Calculated column: =CALCULATE(sum([TotalExpense]),FILTER(dimExpense,dimExpense[Type]="Sundries"))
But as soon as I copy the formula to the next column and update the type to "Wines_Spirits" I get
A circular dependency was detected
Found the answer on SQLBI website I added a unique id to each row and in Table Behavior in the Data Model set the Unique_ID as the Row_Identifier
