I'm creating an excel spreadsheet that will be sent out to a few users to enter data into. In this spreadsheet, multiple columns contain drop down lists created using the Data Validation tool. The lists are referencing named ranges on a second worksheet.
In these drop down lists are terms that consists of one or two words. What I'm trying to do is when a user goes to select an option from the drop down list, I want the matching one letter code to be entered into the cell instead. For example,
Column AK has drop down list with following options:
Good
Moderate
Poor
When a user selects one of the options, I want one the following respective letter to appear instead......
I'm trying to use Excel 2003 macros for the first time and am very frustrated by it's recorder function. I've used several standalone TSR macro recorders several years ago and they were much easier but certainly not as feature rich.
I have a spreadsheet that I've been using for a couple of years where I have manually entered data. My company has recently started to dump data into an Excel sheet but instead of pure numeric or date values being used they are extracting the values with the ' character starting the value. I want to strip this ' character.
What I do is select the cell I want to edit and invoke the macro. Then press {F2} to edit the contents of the cell, {Home} to move to the left, {Del} to delete the first character - the apostrophe, and {Enter} to complete the edit and move down one cell.
Using the recorder captures the following. Unfortunately it doesn't simply delete the first character, it copies the value of the previous cell to the next cell when I invoke the macro again.
i would like to use a macro to check whether the string present in a cell contains special characters like @,#,$,%,^,&,*. i need to do this using a macro. is there an in-built function to do this or is there any other way to do this.

What would the syntax for these two functions be?
where i copy up to 1000 products ID's like this: "1234567890 AA11111"(ofcourse there is allways differend code for every product its just a example :)) and paste it to exel, and the problem is i need only the 10-digit number (it's allways 10-digit number but the second one is sometimes diffrent) so it is possible to make makro that will remove every character after 10th character ?

I have played around with trying to write, or copy as image...with no luck.
I just want to run a macro when a certain cell is selected.
upon investigation, i have found that I can right click on the sheet tab and
view the code. I can then add the following
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$a$1" Then
run(macro1)
end if
End Sub
I've seen plenty of code for running a macro when various events occur, but how do I run a macro when a cell is simply selected? I have a calendar Macro, and there are two cells that need date input. I want the user to select the cell, and the calendar to pop up. Macro for the calendar works correctly, just need the code for the activation upon cell selection.

i am currently using the macro below to import text files into a spreadsheet. Currently, it begins the import in cell A1 which is what I recorded it to do. how do I change the code to begin the import on the active cell?

Got a problem which im sure is an easy solution for all you experts out there. As shown in the picture; http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1205/macrohelp.jpg. When the Sap number is entered (from A19 and onwards), it copies the value to cell B10. The general code is used below.
I am trying to create a macro that runs only if the user has selected a cell in column "D". I want it to fill in the background color of the selected cell and then make the value of column "M", row "whatever row the selection is on" = 1.
How to change the background color, but am unsure how to accomplish the other two tasks.
Code:
Sub Macro1()Â Â Â Â
With Selection.Interior       Â
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent3
End WithEnd Sub
I use few cells with formula and I would need when I click on the cell to run a macro that would copy the selected cell and do a paste value.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a very simple macro, which actually works.
There is a button on my spreadsheet, so the user can launch the macro using this button.
[ Code] .......
At the moment the user clicks on the button, the part of the macro which is hiding the rows will not take place if the cell activated at the moment of launching the macro is in the range below :
The table on my Excel sheet covers range A5:E49
If the active cell is anywhere in A6:49 or C5:D24 or C25, the hiding part of the macro will not work. Launched from any other cells on the spreadsheet it works fine.
The rest works fine and I am not getting an error.
To solve this I just need to add the line Range("G9").Select and it will work.
But I would like to understand why it does not work from the cells given above. My sheet is not protected and I unlocked the cells just ion case.
I have a macro that will go through a set of numbers and check them against a condition. if the cell complies with the condition i want to copy the entire row to a new sheet. sofar I have tried the following to select the current row but to no avail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a named range formula:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"m/d/yyyy")&" "&TEXT(NOW(),"h:mm AM/PM")
The goal of that formula was to return a Date/Time stamp that is fixed and doesn't change over time. The formula is intended to run in which ever cell that I select to enter it into. I named the formula:
=DS
What I am trying to do is create a macro that will run the formula using a hot key function. I want to be able to select a cell and hit CTRL D and have that above formula run in that cell. I have multiple sheets in my workbook and I need the macro to be able to run on any sheet in my workbook. Below is what I have:
Sub DateStamp()
'
' DateStamp Macro
[Code]....
I was trying to apply the macro to only a certain range of cells on any given sheet.
I have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example
If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:
BE
BEARINGS
I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?
I am looking to run two separate macros. I have a project plan and I am looking to be able to select a button whereby on-click, a new row is created within a selected cell. However if the cell clicked is outside of a pre-determined range, then the task is automatically entered at the bottom of the plan. I would like for the copied row to go ABOVE the selected cell and have all of the same formatting as the row below (not the top - as is default in Excel).
The second is going to be very similar but will copy a task category (like a header item) and the first task (row) found below. It will also be copied from below and be inserted above the selected cell.Both macros will clear certain cells, whilst maintaining the contents of others, with formula contained. I.E. Columns C,D,E,H,I,J will be cleared.
I'm looking for a macro to jump to and select a cell if it matches the text in another cell based on a drop down list. So I have a drop down list in cell c57 and a form control search button right next to it. I want the user to be able to select from the drop down, click search and then jump to the cell that matches what they selected. I would like the macro to search from B:60 - B629.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBasically it is a if statement saying that if the selected cell falls between 1/01/06 and 31/01/06 then Jan would be selected. The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.
Sub test()
Dim SelectDate As Range
Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate")
If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then
ActiveSheet. PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _
"Jan"
ElseIf selectedDate >= 1 / 2 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 28 / 2 / 2006 Then
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _
"Feb"........................
I have the code below, which works fine apart from I get a little square coming up every time I run the code, as this gives you a line the Chr(10) has to be there. When I tale the Chr(10) out the little square disappears but then I don't get a new line. I have set the formatting to "wrap text" but it is still showing up. I am not quite sure where to go from here, I have also done a ="test"&CHAR(10)&"test" and that worked fine with no little square.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIn column A if have strings like this: X-100-X10 or C-100-1X00 etc.
I need to change the X at the end of the string to "." e.g. X-100-.10 or C-100-1.00
Can't figure it out since there can be 1 "X" or more than 1 "X" and the second "X" that needs to get changed can be in a different location i.e. not alway 3 from the right or 7 from the left.
Is there some macro code I can use to make this change? Otherwise I have to change hundreds of these manually.
I'm looking for a quicker way to take a list of numbers and adding commas, then putting them in the same cell so I can input them into a web database much faster. I can do it long hand by using concatenate first on the list to add commas to each cell, then making another concatenate to put them all in one cell, but doing the latter takes quite a while because of having to input each cell into the formula. Is there a way I can combine the 2 into a macro to accomodate for any length of cells?
Example, I have this list
12
13
14
15
16
17
As my list of numbers, and I need it to look like this in one cell:
12,13,14,15,16,17

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
What is the code i need to use to assign a macro to a command button which inserts the current date and time in the selected cell regardless of where that cell is?
