I found the width and height of Excel does not make sense at all.
For example, default Width is 8.38 while height is 14.25
But the width of the cells on screen and print out is much longer than the height in length.
How to make all cells in the whole spreadsheet real squares ?
I tried changing width and height to the same number but it does not work....
I need a formula to tell me whether a number is a square number, or I can do it so to see if the square root of a number is an interger. So far Iv been doing
A1 = 2
A2 = AND(RIGHT(A1,1)=INT(A1))
True or false outcome is fine, and it has been working fine on some examples, but the problem comes when I have 49, as it is 2 digits long. I've seen a formula similar to find the root symbol, and look at all the numbers upto this point (maybe FIND).
I'm using Excel 2007. I have a cell with a dropdown box that has the values 1 thru 10. When I save the file (as an Excel 97-2003 compatible .xls file), it's 17kb which is normal. I want multiple dropdown boxes going down the same column, so that every time the user goes to the next row, another dropdown box will be displayed. I copied the cell with the dropdown box, selected the entire column, and pasted the dropdown box.
This time when I save the document, it's over 2MB in file size. I've seen other spreadsheets with several columns of dropdown boxes spanning thousands of rows and they stay under 30kb. I don't know what they did differently to keep their file size small. Why is my file size so large and how do I fix this? Do I need to use a 'paste special' function?
I am using a User Form to input data to a spreadsheet and have an issue. I've set the TextBox WordWrap & MultiLine Property to True and the textbox values don't show the reverse P character, but how do I get the "square" from populating into the cells on my worksheet? I was using this old thread as a point of reference, but didn't understand how to use or where to put it in my form. I'm referring to the code that Dave Hawley supplied. Strange Characters Pasting to Textbox
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Textbox on a Userform that allows users to enter text and code copies the text to a nominated cell on a sheet. My difficulty is that when the text is copied to the cell at the end of each line of text there is a small 'open square' symbol that I would prefer not to show. I can manually delete the symbol but would like it either not to appear of be able to automatically delete it. If I copy the text to a word file the symbols do not appear.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Marketing").Range("b4") = UserForm1.TextBox1
Me.Hide
End Sub
I have created a drop down list but notice that the button (the arrow in the square) does not show up unless I click on the cell. Is there a way to show the button at all times so the user knows a drop down list is available?

I have a formula (below) that looks only at records based on specific filtering criteria or conditions; one of those conditions is the month of the year: ('Data Dump'!$Q:$Q,Summary!$A$26). This portion of the formula would change as a month is selected.
Opposed to having to rewrite the formula every time that I want to view a specific month, I want to automate the formula to change the first condition when a user selects a month from Column A. This would be a real time, automatic refiltering and recalculation as the user selects different months from Column A
Current Formula that filters and shows only January records.
=COUNTIFS('Data Dump'!$Q:$Q,Summary!$A$26,'Data Dump'!$D:$D,Summary!$A$2,'Data Dump'!$M:$M,Summary!C$2)
Column A (January is in cell A26)
January

I have 1 column that contains numbers, for example:
0.50
0.655
0.7898
But in the formula bar, for the first row (0.50), I get 0.499999999999. Why does the cell value differs from the value in the formula bar?
I need to format that column, so that every value contains 9 characters and is rounded. For example, 0.50 needs to become 000000.50
I already have:
Dim rCell As Range
Dim rRng As Range
Set rRng = ws.Range("G2:G999")
For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
If rCell = "" Then Exit For
rCell.NumberFormat = "0000000.00"
rCell.Value = WorksheetFunction.Round(rCell.Value, 2)
Next rCell
And it works! The value in the cell is 000000.50! But when you click that cell, the value in the formula bar is 0.5, so when I export to .txt file, I get 0.5 instead of the 000000.50 that the cell is showing?
Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.

I want to use if clauses to look at the parent genotypes, (paternal is listed in column E and maternal is listed in column F) and then give me the possible recombinant genotypes in column G. there are 9 possible combinations (recombinants in parenthesis)
AA x AA (AA)
BB x BB (BB)

AB x AA (AA, AB)
BB x AB (BB, AB)
AB x BB (BB, AB)

I tried using if clauses, but i don't think i can nest more than 7 cases, and I have 9 different combos.
I have 6 rows A1-A6(sheetsize), they can be 1 of 8 numbers. (16,14,12,10, 5/8, 1/2, 3/8, 3/16) these are all metal gauges. The cell next to them B1-B6(sheetgauge) has a number that refers to how much sq ft each of these sheet metal sizes has. I would like a cell below A30 to add up all the sq ft in B1-B6 if it is 16 gauge. Then A31 will add up all the 14 gauge, etc.
How is this possible without having a huge formula.
Here is my standard formula, but it wont add the B cells together if more than one of the same sheet sizes.
=index(sheetsize,match(A31,sheetgauge,0))
My code works great on my computer but when I bring it to another computer it gives me errors. I think it has to do with my use of square brackets to reference cells. the error that comes up is
compile error:
can't find project or library
What I'm doin here is going to my template sheet then getting the info from different cells and then later using it somewhere else. in place of using range and selecting cell I am using square brackets to select a cell. it worked fine on my computer and was a lot less writing, here is a small part of my code
I often see square brackets around ranges in code. eg [A1]
if there are any advantages/disadvantages with using this notation, apart from the obvious its shorter?
An address is separated by the square characters, and usually I would use Text to columns>Delimited>Other>Alt+0010 to separate the lines. When I get to the Delimited screen where you check Other and enter Alt+0010, the keyboard just makes beeping noises and the text preview only shows the part of the address prior to the soft return, as if there is no char(10) delimitation.

i am trying to use the square root formula to work out the top length of the picture on the userform from the numbers i have in the textbox's.

I need a formula to automatically convert inches to square feet. I have =IF(G5>12,G5/144). and G5 is the cell used to enter your inch value. The formula wrks great, but only if you enter over 12 inches. I'm pretty sure Im on the right track, just need to know how to add in the part about if its less than 12 inches it should be multiplied by 12.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm a new member to the forum and have a question about extracting numbers from a string for a square footage calculation. I am trying to extract the two numbers of varying length on either side of an "x" within an alphanumeric string. As you can see from below, the only constant is that each string will contain an "x" (assume there will be no other "x"'s in the string). I am trying to achieve the following:
A1 = 36.5 x 112 --> B1 = 36.5, C1 = 112
A2 = 36.5x112 --> B2 = 36.5, C2 = 112
A3 = 36.5' x112 --> B3 = 36.5, C3 = 112
A4= 36.5'x112.5' --> B4 = 36.5, C4 = 112.5
A5= abc123 36 x 112.5' --> B5 = 36, C5 = 112.5
If there is a non-VBA code fix, that would be preferable (mix of MID,FIND,MATCH functions...?), but I am okay with some basic VBA.
I try to make option buttons instead of round with a black dot but square box with check mark liked the check box. Box can be filled with color (light blue or other color). When the box is picked the fill change to white background.
I have 5 option boxs, I like to group them in one group because I have other groups using the option boxs. I want the check mak stayed in that group when it is picked.
I know this ain't going to be easy if at all do-able, but would anyone know if there can be a formula/s made to calculate the largest size "square" shape (e.g. all 4 corners at 90 deg.) that would fit in to a known size Quadrilateral?
Value A,B,C,D and Z are all known values as are the diagonal lengths between corners

(Split cell into multiple rows) I need a macro to remove contents within brackets in a cell.
Example:
A1 contains
[something, separated; a, couple of times; like, this] With, some; other, text
The result should be:
With, some; other, text
I want the macro to remove the brackets and everything within it for all marked cells. (I do not want to use search and replace function since I got a lot of these data and needs to repeat this procedure).
I have a worksheet containing square carriage return symbols (see below).
EXAMPLES
Eg1. Baked[]Beans on []Toast
Eg2. Smoked[][]Salmon in Brine
Eg3. Ice[][][] Cream [][]Cosmopolitan
Eg4. Mixed[]Nuts[][]per kilo[][][][]
Eg5. [][]Baby Shampoo[]Fragrance Free
This data was extracted from an SQL Database and dumped into Excel.
I would like to know if someone can suggest a script to replace all occurrences of [] with a space.
Once I perform this, I can then perform a Search/Replace function as follows:
Replace 4 spaces with 1 Space
Replace 3 spaces with 1 Space
Replace 2 spaces with 1 Space
Hopefully then, the final result will appear as follows:
Eg1. Baked Beans on Toast
Eg2. Smoked Salmon in Brine
Eg3. Ice Cream Cosmopolitan
Eg4. Mixed Nuts per kilo
Eg5. Baby Shampoo Fragrance Free
Eg5. is a little tricky because a space will appear at the beginning of the cell (see above). It would be good if there's a script to remove occurrences of this also.
I am trying to select the cells in a column and then all of the adjacent cells to the right.
If I record a macro, it looks like this:
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
Range("C5:D9").Select
How can I turn those static cells into volatile cells (I think that's what you call it)?
I basically want to select from the active cell (C9) to the beginning of the column (but leave out of the selection the header row) and then the adjacent cells to the right (D5:D9), but not with fixed cell references.
I have a square which is defined with x,y coordinates (roughly 2000 points), and for each point I have a value. And I have to divide this square in to 9 equal sub grids, and find the max value in each sub grid. I have all the coordinates for the sub grids. But I cant get the max value of the specified cells.
I am thinking something like this:
if 0<x>10 and 0<y<10 then it is sub grid 1 and I want to find the max value there
and if 0<x>10 and 10<y<20 then it is sub grid 2 and so one..
