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.
I have a button in my worksheet. When clicked on I want to change the text in this button so far so good. I have however a problem how to return to the cell that was active, the moment I clicked the button. so far I have the following code
I require a bit of code that locates where the excel file is stored - it then searches that directory folder for all file names. Any file names with an extension *.hm for example are listed in column A, while their relevant 'Dates of last Modification' are listed in Column B.
Every time the spreadsheet opens it should ask the user if he/she requires a re-search of this directory and update of any file names accordingly. NB: if a file name is deleted from the directory, the file name should remain in the spreadsheet.
Excel 2003: I need code that, when an "x" is entered in a cell in the "Activity" worksheet to assign a temporary unit #, it will look for the next available Temporary Unit # in the "Assign" worksheet. Then mark that unit # as "assigned" (by placing an "X" in the column next to it) and copy it to a cell in the "Activity" sheet.
I will be doing the same thing with assigning different types of PO numbers. I figure if I have the code for the Unit #, I can use the same logic for the other assignments, with some modifications, of course.
I've attached a sample workbook.
If I am not considering the most effective way to accomplish what I am trying to do here, I have no ego at all about someone suggesting a better solution.
I have a worksheet that logs equipment activities. Equipment may already have a standard unit # assigned to it or it may need a temporary unit # assigned for tracking. In a separate worksheet is a column of predefined temp unit #'s that can be assigned and next it is a column to place an "X" once a unit # has been assigned.
I need to write logic that, when an "X" is entered in Column F (Assign a Unit #) of the Activities worksheet, the Unit # (Column G) will automatically select the next available Temp Unit # in the Assign worksheet...and mark that Unit # as no longer available. Quite frankly, this may be more easily done with VBA, but I am not experienced in that at all. I have attached a sample worksheet showing the format of the unit # to be assigned, etc.
I've seen a lot of traffic around running macro's on a clock at regular intervals. But what if I want to run a Macro (Macro1) at 8:55, 9:55, 11:55, 12:55, 13:55, 16:55 and another Macro (Macro2) at the top of each of those hours? The string of times is not consecutive, so I have built a table to define the release times. At each of these times I need to run a macros, and I'm not sure where to begin.
I had posted earlier to see if there was a way to protect certain cells from being updated when using a linked excel spreadsheet to access. Since there have been no replies I'm assuming not.
Different approach, can I create a Macro that would run after the update that would insert my required text into each cell from A2 through to R2.
The text would always be the same and always in exactly the same cells. This would need to be an insert into and not a replacement of the data already in those cells.
A1 B1 C1 D1 State BUName InsuranceCompanyName Claim ROnumber Renter Last Name
The text under each of the A2, B2, C2 etc is what I would want the macro to do for me, essentially putting back what the update from the linked source removed.
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 have a spreadsheet that allows users to paste set data from a PDF Image (using OCR) straight into Excel and then use the MID function to split the data accordingly.
Unfortunately, the OCR isnât too intuitive and gets it wrong sometimes.
So to counter this, in another sheet (in the same workbook) I have a manual input section, and a simple macro button that pastes this data into the same fields where the OCR text would be, so that the main sheet works exactly the same way as before.
The problem is, and most likely due to the simplicity of the sheet, if a combination of OCR pasting and manual inputting is used, when I hit the paste button, it over rides the OCR data with blank cells
In the link below I have shown what is currently happening (1, 2, 3), and an example of what I would actually like it to do (4, 5, 6).
Example - Online Spreadsheets - EditGrid
So, in the 2nd scenario, I would like â5â to recognise that the respective cells in â4â already contain data and fill them âGreyâ. This I have already achieved with basic conditional formatting.
However, I need to take it 1 step further and say that if the parent sheets cell (Auto OCR) contains data, as well as filling cells (in sheet Manual) lock these cells off and prevent the end user from adding data and/ or being copied over to the parent sheet.
Is this possible?
The result then being the parent sheet with both OCR text and copied text from the manual input sheet.
Both sheets are protected anyway and only allow for user input in certain areas, so is it even possible to apply further protection once the sheet is locked already?
I've written a macro and i've added a button to the toolbar so that it's easy for users of the spreadsheet to run the macro. the problem i'm running into is that the sheet that the macro's written in is a template. the macro formats some downloaded junk. soooo, every time someone downloads stuff, they copy-paste into the template, push the button, and it formats it.
my problem is that when they Save As, the button's assigned macro gets reset to the name of the file they saved as. therefore, when someone else comes along and press the button, it doesn't run the macro out of the original template sheet which they have open, instead it tries to find the last sheet that was saved and run the macro through it.
I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column: 000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result: 0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows: 1|22042009|ABCDEFG|567 (Beginning zeros figures of the first and last column disappear)
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!
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.
Im 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 recorded the following marco and it works fine. I would like to modify it so the user would highlight a range of cells rather than have the fixed area :
is it possible to write vb code to open the workbook, scroll through everysheet? extract the values from each worksheet?
let's just say, I only know the workbook name, but not the sheets of the name inside. So the vb code could scroll through every worksheet without knowing the worksheet name, only the workbook name(workbook.xls)
I want to create a macro that will open the look in list and stop so I can pick a file to open. Ive tried to use record a macro and ctrl-o, but the record a macro wont stop until I pick a file or cancel the file list. I also tried to use o in the short cut key box
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
Is there a macro that can automatically set the print area by determining what the used range is. For example, If P96 is my last used cell, I would want a1: P96 as my print area.
My macro selects cells containing data - then i want the macro to set the print area to those selected cells - works fine - but the selected cells won't be the same each time i run the macro. Here's how it looks now:
I am looking to set the print area with a macro, below is what I had hoped would work. It does not. I get unable to get Vlookup property of worksheetFunction class error.
Sub Printzed() Start = Range("C6").Address Finish = Res = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(I5, Range("prlu"), 2).Address
myPrintArea = Start & ":" & Finish ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = myPrintArea End Sub
I have a document which will require signatures after printed and want to keep the signature portion at the bottom of the page (currently rows 102-104). The problem is that the document will not need to be that long for every person and was wondering if it would be possible to have a macro that checks (C7:C:100), stops printing when it reaches the blank cells, and then prints those last 2 rows?
The macro below works perfectly except for one problem. I only want it to set the print area from Column A - Column M . It currently selects data i have in Columns N and beyond and i do not need that to print. From A - M is 13 columns.
I did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet() If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then Application.DisplayAlerts = False Set ws = ActiveSheet Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2") 'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook. 'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want. Application.DisplayAlerts = True End If End Sub
This is the type of macro I useually use on my pc to check if a workbook is open and if not then open it
If IsWorkbookOpened("Filename.xls", "C:Documents and ..................
I need a macro to select the area within the blue invoice sheet box, so everything within the blue invoice sheet box is selected , and then the selection should be printed. I will have hundreds of these invoice slips made, right below each other, i was wondering once this is done, is there an easier way to to have each invoice selected, instead of making a custom button for each sheet ( which selects just that invoice , and prints that selection ).
( Column m through v, starting at row 2 stoping at row 68, is the selection required in this example, everythign within the blue box. ).
