Macro To Automatically Sort Multiple Column Groups Separately As Data Is Entered
May 20, 2014
I have a worksheet that contains multiple task lists, each having two columns, a "Priority" field and a "Description" field. The data should be sorted by Priority first and by Description second. The header row is 5 and the data is in rows 6 through 50. The first list is in A5:B50, the second C5:D50, and so on until the sixth list in K5:L50. I have a macro that works for one task list, but cannot get it to function for multiple task lists. Below is the macro that functions for the first task list. It is in the code for the sheet tab.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target1 As Range)
If Target1.Column = 1 Then
[Code]....

I have a question regarding automating excel sorting in Excel 2007. Here's what I have, I have a sheet that I need to sort on a weekly basis as the data is always being updated. Here is what i am basically doing with sheet and I am using a MACRO RECORDER to automate it.
1) I select column2 ~ column 7 (B:G)
2) I sort with the following order.
- column 3 (column C) ascending order, then
- column 4 (column d) ascending order, then
- column 6 (column f) ascending order, then
- column 2 (column b) DESCENDING order.
everything from this point on, it's repeatitive. I select..............

I have a workbook has a "Summary" worksheet. I would like to be able to do the following:
(1) Sort columns D, G, J, M,... (the number of columns are different each time I run the macro that I have).
(2) create a combo box to be able to the data (that sorted in 1) by month (1,2,..., 12).

Download the attachment and have a look.
I want there to ALWAYS be 5 FREE/EMPTY rows to be able to enter data into them I also want the black area around the outside to ALWAYS be a further 15 rows in height below that.
Sheet 1 = Simple Example
Sheet 2 = A much larger example
Sheet 3 = Erroneously added data should still extend the sheet by 5 rows each time.

I need to sort groups of data by a single cell in the group, compared to other single cells in other groups of data. The groups are always the same number of rows but vary in the number of rows. There is an example file below. The red is the company name and the green is what I need to sort the group by, as compared to the other groups. This example only has a few, the real file has thousands of groups. I want to sort the companies by the totals in green...they are currently in alphabetical order. There must be a way to do this without going the VBA option.

I have a report that I drop down into Excel that is a transaction report for securities. The data for each security is in two rows. I would like to write a macro that would sort each two-line group by a certain cell in the group. If I could make the macro request the number of rows and columns in each range and the cell address of the cell to sort by, I would be able to use this macro for many different reports. Also, there has to be some way of telling the macro where to begin and where to end. I have some experience with macros although generally I "Frankenstein".

I have a spreadsheet where we calculate lost time of machinery and how much money is lost. Every day someone enters the hours that the machines were down and then enters comment in that cell stating what happened or what the resolve was. So for example Machine A runs 24 hours a day, but 12-19-08 it had mechanical issues and was down for 2 hours, so the entrant will enter 22 in that cell, then have to right click back in that cell, go to insert comment and enter "need to change belts." Then if he finds out later that they were down another two hours he would have to change the hours, right click in the cell and edit comment. What we have been coming across is that after awhile he just enters the hours and not the comment. Besides firing a lazy operator I would like to make it more user friendly and ensure that the data entry person is entering the comment.
I would like after the hours are entered in the cell for the comment box to automatically open. I figured there has to be a formula to do it, but i am not at an advanced level. Can you help me?

I am trying to apply a conditional cell lock to a worksheet. I am using Excel 2003, not 2007.
In column J, I have a list validation being used. The default value is "Not Claimed", I want to lock the cell from being edited once the value has been changed to any other value on the list.
The worksheet will be password protected to prevent entries into static fields (A:I & N:P).
I also would like to give the user the ability to unlock a specific cell, not the entire worksheet, by entering a password or something if they accidently choose a wrong value from the list.
I have column Q and beyond available if I need to have the password entered somewhere else.
I have attached a sample of the file I am working with.

I found the following code here.
For data entered into column A, it copies the formulas from columns B:E in the row above to the current row.
It works great except fot the first row (A9) where it copies the header row (B8:E8).
How can I get it to not copy when data is entered into A9?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
Dim c As Range, i As Long
On Error Resume Next
Set c = Intersect(Target, Columns(1))
If c Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(c.Offset(-1, 0)) Or Not IsEmpty(c.Offset(1, 0)) Then Exit Sub
i = c.Row
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("B" & i - 1 & ":E" & i - 1).Copy Range("B" & i & ":E" & i)
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error Goto 0
End Sub

a way, without using a macro, to have a specific column automatically sort data being pulled in from another column, so that even if the data from the initial column gets changed, that the destination column will take that change into effect and update the sort automatically?

I have a concatenated value in a column D (from three colums A, B and C). Whenever a user enters data in colums A, B and C, I would like to get a sorted list of values from column D to be populated in column E. I use the sorted values in Column E for a dropdown list in another worksheet. Could somebody help me with the macro code?

I'm am trying to take multiple column-groups and sort them by product ID number.
I am trying to put together a sales record for the past 26 months for around 2000 different items and sorting them manually would obviously be a nightmare.
I would like to sort them so that all the drugs with the same NDC (prod ID) have the correct data for each month displayed on the correct row for that NDC. Right now I have each set of data for that month sorted by product ID number but some months we used certain products and others we did not. Is there any sort of Macro that I could use? What I am trying to do I attached two files. The "before" and my desired "after".
starting point.xlsx
end product.xlsx

how to do basic formulas in Excel but I are hoping that there is a macro or a VBA or something that can be made which might work for what i need.
I have decided to start a small tour shop (I make the reservations for guests with a hotel in the area and take them on tours of our region) and are looking to make a booking sheet for each month. Nothing complicated just simple. see the attached .xlsx file.
I was wondering if there is a way that when the fields in column A & B are filled in if it could automatically color the corresponding dates in for the same row in the calendar area? like I have manually done on sheet "October 2013"

I have an issue with an export file which is produced in CSV format and needs to be aligned. I have attached a sample of what I refer to.
My Source excel file looks like:
ABC A-101 B - 202
DEF B-203 C - 100
The destination should align with the relevant column headers and place a blank if it doesn't match. Other have queried a similar thing, however my header and data and description is actually in the same cell with a dash separating them.
The output I want is:
A B C D
ABC 101 202
DEF 203 100
There are multiple row of employees with varied column headings as its dependent on what system access the user has. The headings i.e. A,B,C for example is a fixed number of headers.
In my real data set the headers represents a 3 letter system prefix e.g. ZCR,ILP etc

I have one main Excel file with information (in example file - columns A & B). I want to create 4 other Excel files that will draw from the main one (in example file - columns D, F, H, & J). I want the information in Excel file A, B, C, and D to be continuous information that matches the main file. For example, the letter A matches up with numbers 1,3,4,10,11,13,15,17, and 19 in the main file. When I open Excel file A, I want a continuous list of these numbers. And I want this for all 4 Excel files which draw from the main one.

I use MS Excel 2007 and I was wondering if it was possible to enter data for certain things once, and have that data copied automatically every time I type the text. For example, if I type Blue Car in a cell and type 4 in the next cell, is there a way I can program Excel to enter that data every time I type Blue Car?

I am now trying to write a macro which is a little over my head and was hoping some one may have some idea how to do it or have some code that is similiar and I can try to customise it myself. So here goes.
Basically all that happens is I paste data into a work book that always has two columns. The first column is a list of names and the second column is a list of numbers. I need to sort that information automaitcally every time it is pasted into the work sheet as follows.
1) Once any information is pasted to sheet 1 run macro automatically with no user interaction
2) All numbers must be rounded up or down first before sorting. If it is say 2.4 then it would become 2 and it it was 2.6 it would become 3.
3) Then move the numbers only from a specified column from sheet1 to sheet 2 and split them up into seperate columns based on the following results.
a) 0 - 3 gets moved to column B
b) 4 -7 get moved to column C
c) 8 - 10 gets moved to column d
4) Delete both columns from sheet1 after this is run so the user can re paste new information
5) If a user does this again then do the same but move into a new set of columns e f g and so on until the work book ends.

I have 199 tabs in which i have, for example, sales data month by month. I want to consolidate into one tab the total sales per tab. I.e. so that i have a list of tabs 1 to 199 with the sales for the year for each tab. I don't want to sum the same cell across each tab.
Is there a way of doing this without having to do 'sum(tab1...)' for my tab 1 sales and then 'sum(tab2...)' for my tab 2 sales etc?

I've been trying to rank by groups within one list of data; I can sort by two columns and rank with a simple "if" statement, but this is no longer practical for how often the data is updated and re-sorted. Trying to find a dynamic formula that creates ranks by the groups in a selected column. Example attached.

many times i am confrunted with excel files containing one sheet that has many tables on it. i need to print each table so that it fits on one page, but these tables are not formatted so that they fit, therefore i need a fast way to make each table fit on 1 printed page, no matter how big it is or how it is centered on the page size from page layout(many times the table is bigger than the page layout size). i tried selecting each table holding down ctrl and then hitting set print area, but most of the times this doesnt work, i still get part of the first table and the begining of the second table on the second printed page and so on, which is not good.

I need to make a macro that creates a specified number of graphs depending on the file's number of data sets. I know the number of sets that are in the data, and I know the number of data points that were taken. Here is what I have:
Sub Graphs()
Dim Startpoint As Integer
Dim Endpoint As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim xStart As String
Dim xEnd As String
Dim NumberSets As Integer
Dim yStart As String
Dim yEnd As String
Dim DataSet As Integer
Dim Data
Startpoint = 11 'The first set always starts in row 11
Endpoint = Range("L4").Value + 10 'Thefirst set always ends after the value of L4+10
NumberSets = Range("L7").Value 'number of times I need the loop to work

I have (what seems to me) a somewhat complicated request. I’m trying to do a custom workbook without using VB (if possible). I’m trying to design a file list that can be updated easily by anyone. The new row of information needs to be entered (by a data form maybe?) and then automatically alphabetized by ‘ case name”. See below. I don’t know Excel formulas that well. This seems fairly easy, but I am at a loss how to do it.

I would like to enter a new record (“case name -e.g. Jones, Smith, etc.) , with all the other corresponding info (Case #, Open Date, Rep #) and have excel automatically insert it ALPHABETICALLY by case name into the sheet and also, if possible, renumber. I know I can add the new record it to the last row and the Sort by case name, but I wanted to have others do it, and when they try to enter and sort the spreadsheet it always gets messed-up.

I have a data set in an Excel spreadsheet entered as one column of data. It is names with addresses, phone numbers, job title, etc. I want to select and transpose each person in the list so when I am done the person's name is in column A, Company name in column B and so on. The problem is the information listed is not the same for each person - so there is a different number of rows for each person. The names are in bold text though, so I need to select from one cell with bold text to the row BEFORE the next row with bold text and transpose the data for each selection. I found this forum by finding an old question here that is similar at Copy based on Bold Paste-transpose provided in that post and it produced no result.

Scenario: You have two columns in a spreadsheet. Column A is a text input and column B is a tracking number for each row. Using the ISTEXT statement, I had it configured so that when a cell in column B recognized a TRUE statement in an adjoining cell in column A it would then assign a number. B1 is assigned a number when A1 has text.
What I would like to happen is build the spreadsheet so that after the user enters text in column A, column B automatically fills in so that the user doesn't have to manually enter it. I've figured out how to do this if the data is never sorted, however, if you sort the data then the tracking numbers don't follow and are really a mess.
Is there a way to auto fill column B and at the same time, make it so that the tracking number that is originally assigned to the row follows with A when sorted?
I've tried using =MAX but run into circular reference issues.

1. Create and name a new worksheet for each UNIQUE value in the 'Name' column (new worksheet for each analyst)
2. Copy their system info to each respective worksheet
