Make Spacebar Act As Tab Key (temporarily)
Apr 29, 2014
I've set up a method to register users so they can use my applications. Very simple, First Name/Last Name/Scan your ID card. Unfortunately, that is apparently not "idiot-proofed" enough for some of my users. They keep entering their full name into the first name section, then they'll repeat the same information (full name) in the last name section. I swear they're doing this kind of stuff just to annoy me and see if they can break what I build.
Anyway, is there a way to change a single cell so that if the user hits the spacebar, it will simply tab to the next cell.

I am using a bar code gun to enter numbers. There are two bar codes on each item that I am scanning requiring two columns for each item. Right now I squeeze the trigger and the number pops up into the currently active cell. Then I use the arrow key to move over one cell and squeeze the trigger for the next number. Then Down arrow following with a left arrow to move the highlighted cell down one line back to the first column. Kind of inefficient because although repetitive there is room for errors on my part.
Is there a way to make it that every time I press the space bar or some other key that excel highlights a cell following my desired pattern? At least for the time that I am using the bar code gun? Making it so pressing the space bar would advance the selected cell over, then down and left, then over, then down and left, alternating with each press following that pattern ad infinitum. I have to scan hundreds of these babies.
Would this be difficult? I’m not the programming type. Any help would be greatly appreciated. At least I no longer have to manually type each number in. That was a real bummer.

I have a workbook that opens full screen without any menus including the Worsheet Menu Bar. When the sheet opens the Title bars and Workshheet Menu Bars are visible
at first and then the sheet jumps to full screen without either. I tried to prevent seeing this screen jump by surrounding my code for hiding
all menus & viewing full screen with-
Application. ScreenUpdating= False
Application.ScreenUpdating=True
This works in other sections of code as intented but has no effect here. Even though I realize this has no functional benefit, because I am already able
to use the entire screen, I would like to find a way to hide this screen jump.

I want to temporarily display a userform (maybe for 4seconds) when my spreadsheet loads.
I cannot grasp the ontime function, and from what I can tell most messages posted on here relate to using it for intervals, or to be used at a set time in the day. (I have looked at the Helpsheet for the Ontime function, but struggle to apply what is being said to my situation)

I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.

I have a Sheet Activate code so that when going through a workbook, range a1 is always selected.
However, i have another macro, which navigates through each monthly sheet in the workbook, and uses cell a19 as a 'topleft' const cell, with a time delay, so that i can view a chart in the same place for each month on each monthly worksheet, kind of like a journey through time.
The problem i have, is that i need the sheet activate functionality when normally navigating through the sheet, but this overrides my macro which needs to open sheets with cell a19 as the top left cell.
So my question is, can you disable a sheet activate sub at the beginning of a macro, and activate it again at the end?

I have a set of procedures that require auto recalc to be on to work correctly. I've tried application.volatile and Application.CalculateFull with no luck. I'm trying to put together code that makes sure recalc is on, but that first determines the current recalc status and then changes it back to Manual when necessary. I don't know how to determine the current status. The following code should work if the red sections are fixed.
Sub TempAuto()
Dim CurrentState As unknown
CurrentState = Application.Calculation status
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
If CurrentState = Manual Then
Application.Calculation = xlManual
End If
End Sub

I would like to run a macro on a worksheet that changes some cell values. Some of these cells have conditional formatting applied. With this particular macro I do not want Excel's Conditional formatting to react to these changes. How can I temporarily switch off Excel’s Conditional Formatting with VBA before I run the macro so that it doesn't react to these changes? What exactly triggers conditional Formatting to re-calculate?

I have downloaded some of my bank statements in excel format but they are just static data - ie, they are just numbers in boxes and the BALANCE column does not react when I take out a transaction.
I have put in a formula for the BALANCE column so it does now take its value from the previous day plus or minus transactions, but now I want to do additional things.
- How would I, for example, categorise several transactions as "HOLIDAY" [URL] ....... and then temporarily make them disappear so that I can see the effect of that on my balance? I can see how to hide/unhide transactions but that doesn't actually seem to have any impact on the balance column.
- Second query: how do I make my current spreadsheet a template so that when I download the next bunch of bank statements I can just apply all the formulae in this one to it?

How to temporarily disable PowerPoint charts which are linked to Excel. The problem is, whenever I copy a slide and try to paste it elsewhere, Office attempts to update all of the links in the entire PowerPoint. Since the slide deck has so many links, this takes an awful lot of time to do. I don't want to break the links completely as I would lose any ability to keep them dynamic. I've checked all of the advanced options within PowerPoint, but cannot find any way to temporarily disable links from updating.

I have a simple macro that cycles through the sheets in a workbook, and if the sheet's codename matches one of a defined list, some of its data is added to a summary sheet.
The macro works exactly as intended, but a strange thing happened yesterday: some data was missing from the summary sheet because one of the sheets was being ignored. This sheet is named 'MCP' on its tab, and has codename Sheet8.
Here's the strange part: on stepping through the code, cycling the sheets, I noticed that the sheet icon, name and codename had disappeared from the Microsoft Excel Objects folder in the Project Explorer. When the loop got to the sheet in question
Code:
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Debug.Print ws.Name
Debug.Print ws.Codename
The above code displayed its name (correctly) as 'MCP', but its codename was blank; the sheet was therefore skipped by the code because the codename had to match against a defined list.
While I was pondering this, and doing some web searches, the sheet then re-appeared in the Project Explorer and everything worked again.
My question is this: is it likely to be due to the workbook being shared? I know that workbook sharing in Excel is often discouraged, but this is a simple workbook only used by a maximum of three users (two of these had the workbook open at the time the issue was reported)
I've changed the code so that the sheet name is inspected in the event that the codename is blank, which should guard against the issue provided sheets are not deleted/renamed.

I would like to know the easiest way to temporarily keep a worksheet code from running while I am editing, then turn it back on when I am done. I was thinking a button with these commands(?)>
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
but I don't know which button to use, or if I would need a button for each.

I have a spreadsheet where I want to require certain fields to be completed then I want to have that file auto emailed. I have learned that I do need to have the file saved before sending otherwise the data will not appear in the email, so with this I want to have the file temporarily saved emailed then the temp file deleted.
Here is the code I have so far but it errors on the blue text, I did change the TempFileName from = "Copy of " & wb1.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss") to = [C16] & "_" & [B6] & "_" & [D6]
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Range("B6").Value = "" Or _
Range("d6").Value = "" Or _
Range("f6").Value = "" Or _
Range("E9").Value = "" Or _
[Code] ......

I have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.

If the sum of a Payment Due (Column C) minus the Amount Actually Paid (Column D) is results in a number greater than zero (Column E), no problem.
For instance:
C22: D22: E22:
200 150 =SUM(C22-D22)
E22 shows a result of: 50. That's great, exactly what I want it to do. However, if I paid more than what is due (D22 is greater than C22), I want the result in E22 to show as "0" instead of a negative number.
For instance:
C22: D22: E22:..............

I'm searching for a way to make a shiftcalender in excel. The whole year i'm having troubles with my planning to do it in a system of my boss and i want to change this for next year. We need to have always a minimum of 2 people on duty and when someone calls in sick i want to see in for instance a collor that the planning is corrupt and that i have to call someone else to do the shift.
I've looked several up on the net and there are many types of shiftcalenders but not the one i have in mind.
What it needs to do is;
- There are 5 teams with 3 people in it, so 15 names,
- There are 3 shifts from 06:30 to 15:00(dayshift), 14:30 to 23:00(eveningshift) and 22:30 to 7:00(nightshift)
It's a 2-2-2 type of shift, that means 2 day-, 2 evening- and 2 nightshift and after the cyclus 4 days free which the first day a day to sleep.
I would like to proceed with the last date of the existing calender and that the sheet automatically fills in the rest.

I know there's one customizable easy access toolbar. Is there a way I can get more toolbars and get rid of these dangblasted ribbons?
