Marking Cells Invisibly

Apr 5, 2007

I am wondering what is a convenient way to invisibly mark off certain cells on a spreadsheet, so that VBA can later recognize that they are so marked, and thus treat them differently. I have a spreadsheet listing various farms that our hatchery purchases eggs from. I have a commandbutton on that sheet that opens up a userform, allowing the user to assign certain farms to participate in various breed tests. Ideally, when the user selects a farm for a breed test, the corresponding cell on the spreadsheet (containg that farm's name) will be marked in some invisible way. That way, when I run another macro, the code will be able to recognize that cell as marked, and treat it accordingly.

So, what is the favored way of marking a cell in a way that will remain invisible to the user? I know that there are plenty of properties that a cell has, many of which appear useless to me. Is it good protocol to adjust any of these as I like, or is there some method that is to be preferred?

Combining Two Spreadsheets - Marking What Cells Have Been Pulled Over?

Mar 14, 2014

A little background, I am trying to match CC deposit batch transactions to daily sales transactions. I have two reports, one from our credit card processor/gateway (Report "B") and one from our software where the daily sales (Report "A") are recorded. I used the INDEX/MATCH formula to pull the information I needed from Report "A" into Report "B". It worked perfectly. My question is, is there anyway that I can show what information has been pulled from Report "A"? Possibly by highlighting what was pulled over? It is a longshot, but it would make my life so much easier if it was possible...

Marking Grid Points

Nov 18, 2008

I have a worksheet ('Matrix') that has a grid that is 40 rows x 40 columns. On another sheet ('Drivers') I have a two columned table where a user is enters two numbers between (you guessed it!) 1 and 40. What I'm trying to do is within the grid, have a "Y" appear on the crossing point as denoted by the table. I've tried a couple of experiments with MATCH, but I'm not getting very far.

I've attached an example document to make this a bit clearer and I've coloured the references on the 'Drivers' sheet to correspond to where they should appear on the 'Matrix' sheet. Sorry if that's a bit garbled. Let me know if you need any clarification.

Marking Then Copying To Another Sheet

Aug 15, 2012

Is there a way to go down a sheet and mark a certain row with say an X Then run a macro to copy all the cells in that row marked with the x to another sheet. There may be 45 X's down the sheet.

Example Below..

FirstLastAddressCityStZipCode
DaveJones55 Pine StElkhartPA3333221
xTomJones56 Pine StElkhartPA3333221
JoeJones57 Pine StElkhartPA3333221
xAmyJones58 Pine StElkhartPA3333223

So to either copy them to another sheet or even better a Word Document that is setup that has Cells to accept everything from First to Code.

Marking Rows With Certain Duplicate Values?

Jul 8, 2014

So I am trying to mark certain rows as duplicates if their values in Columns J, AD and ABS(BD) match. J and AD contain Number letter Identification combinations and BD contains a value. I currently have a formula as shows that will mark all of these values:

[Formula]
=IF(AND(COUNTIFS(J:J,J15,BD:BD,ABS(BD15),AD:AD,AD15)>1, (SUMIFS(BD:BD,J:J,J15,AD:AD,AD15,BD:BD,ABS(BD15)))<>ABS(BD15)),"Duplicate","")
[Formula]

The issue with this formula is that I do not want it to mark rows that look like this:

J - AD - BD
AA1 BB2 20
AA1 BB2 -20
AA1 BB2 20

I have a lot of rows that will appear like this. Their sum in BD equals the absolute value of the value in BD. I thought this would get picked up using the SUMIFS portion of my formula but it is not. I cannot find the problem.

Marking Up Latest Occurence In 2003

Apr 30, 2009

I am looking at a register of documents that are constantly being revised. What I need to do is mark up which ones need to be reviewedDocument RevisionViewedapples1apples2yapples3apples4apples5pears1pears2ypears3pears4oranges1oranges2oranges3

If a revision is marked as Y then previous revisions don;t need to be looked at and can be marked with n/a anything older doesn't need to be reviewed except for the latest one. In the above table if apples revision 2 has been viewed so rev 1, 3, and 4 are no longer relevant and only rev 5 needs to be reviewed. Pears rev 2 has been reviewed so on rev 4 needs to be reviewed. No Orange documents have been reviewed so only rev 3 needs to be reviewed.

The above is just an example my table consists of 8000 entries.

Comparing Data In Two Different Sheets And Marking Matches

Jan 9, 2014

I have a huge lists of names that I need to work with. The first is a list of all employees. The second is a list of those employees who have submitted their monthly report. In theory every record should be a match. I need to compare the lists and mark the people who are missing their monthly report in the main list of all employees.

Not sure how to set this up in Excel

Sheet 1: Column A - All employees names, Columns B-M: used to show whether a report has been submitted.
Sheet 2-13 (July, Aug., Sept., through June): Column A - employees who have submitted their report.

I need Sheet 1 to show either all of the missing records across all the months or it can show the ones that have been received. Either will work.

Finding A Value Repetedly And Marking The Cell Next To It With A Progressive Number.

Jul 14, 2009

The find value will always be the same...its just a placeholder that is randomly inserted. (currently i am using the value "Placeholder"). basically in column B i want to insert the iteration of the Place holder. the attached spreadsheet better illustrates what i am trying to do. starting the count at zero is kind of important, but not the end of the world if it is impossible.

Marking A Column Based On Date In Another Column

Mar 16, 2009

I have a worksheet that keeps track of members for an organization. One column, let's call it B, notes the month when the members are due to renew their membership. Our organization requires that members be notified of pending renewals one month before, the month of, and one month after they're due to expire. Rather than having to re-sort the database every time I want to pull up this information, I'd like to create a second column, column C, that puts a character next to the names of members who are about to come do.

Ideally this character would change depending on what stage they are in the renewal process (a month before, month of, month after). Super ideally, if this is even possible in Excel, members who haven't renewed by the last month will automatically be moved to worksheet two, which contains recently lapsed members. What sort of code would I need to do this? I've tried googling for it, but I can't find quite what I'm looking for, and I have no script savvy whatsoever.

How To Populate Price In One Column By Marking Another Column

May 25, 2013

I am creating an inventory list for a lab, I have a column called "reorder" and another column called "price". Is it possible to have a checkbox, or if I put "x" in the reorder column, the price for that particular item will appear in the "price" section.

Then I will have a total field and any prices that populated will calculate the total price?

Linking Cells Globally To Allow Users Ability To Change Cells On Separate Sheet / Cells?

Feb 18, 2014

I have a workbook that uses the values that a user had entered into 3 cells to calculate multiple other charts/diagrams on multiple sheets within the workbook. Each sheet would show what the user had entered in the 3 cells to allow them to see what is being used to calculate each table. Is it possible to link these cells so that the user can change the 3 values without having to go back to where he originally entered the 3 values?

For example, a user has entered in 3 values in Sheet 1. A formula in Sheet 2 displays what is entered by the user and uses these calls in Sheet 2 for calculations. When the user wants to change the three values, he would have to navigate to Sheet 1 and enter in the new values to have the workbook recalculate all the tables. Is there a way to link the three cells from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 so when the user is on Sheet 2, he has the opportunity to change the values on the current Sheet without having to navigate to Sheet 1 to do so?

I wish to copy a merged cell (3 cells) based on if only 1 of 3 cells to the right contain "X". if the top cell does not contain "X" than the merged cell is not copied. Also, is therea more elegant to copy 3 columns at a time rather than do one at a time as my code shows:

Date Cells In Project Plan To Change Based On Other Cells Including Other Date Cells

Oct 31, 2008

This is a project plan with tasks and dates. Column A is the activity number. (Example 1, 2, 3" etc). Column B is the task (Ex. "Complete Report"). Column C is number of days required to complete the task. Column D is the dependency column. (Ex. Cell D2 =1 in other words Task 2 is dependent on task 1). Column E is the date.

I would like to have a seperate start date cell and a go live date cell.

The objective is to enter a start date, and have each column E date increase based on the number of days entered in Column C. If a task is dependent on another and I change the number of days in Column C I need the dependent task to change the same amount of days.

Copy Filter Data And Paste It On Another Workbook With Special Cells (Only Visible Cells)

Apr 12, 2014

I am using code to filter my 4 sheets Greater then 0 (zero)

After apply above filter now i need to copy multiple rows and paste on another specific workbook for paste i m using below code:

for 1st sheet with the name ("V2")

for 2nd sheet with the name("LV")

For 3rd sheet with the name ("F2")

and 4th sheet with the name("L2")

If I play above code one by one all is going very well,,,,,,or if use in this way all is going very well

But here is a big problem..........if any sheet have no value greater then 0(zero)....then code paste all data... e.g shssts("LV") .Range("C5:C54").Copy but C5:C54 have no data greater then 0(zero) and it will paste on another sheet c5:c54 and again new sheets data will paste below the c54 while c5:c54 have no data.

So I want if any sheet have no data with range is greater then 0(Zero) then skip the copy paste code or use like SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) .

Excel 2007 :: Conditional Formatting Empty Cells Based On Full Cells?

Nov 17, 2011

Working in Excel 2007. I am using excel for a data log (basically) and want it to format all empty cells in a row yellow if there is data in column A

Basically, If i have a value in A2, I want any empty cell between B2-G2 to be filled in yellow (as an idicator to the inputter that the cell needs to be completed).

there is already conditional formatting on these cells, which i want to maintain for the non-empty cells. I also have "0" as a value, so I couldn't use the basic conditional formatting setting it =0, it highlighted cells with $0.00, which i do not want.

Excel 2003 :: Conditional Format Top / Mid / Bottom 33% Of Cells But Ignoring Blank Cells

Mar 25, 2012

I am trying to conditionally format the top middle and bottom thirds of a range of data. Problem is, that the range needs to be flexible as sometimes there may be a maximum of 36 cells with data, but sometimes there may be less (so there are blank cells in the range that need not be counted). The methods I have tried always include the blank cells, and so it is not equally formatting the thirds (as it includes the blanks cells as part of the bottom data)....

Here are the 2 methods Ive tried so far using excel 2003)
Top 34%:
=IF(INT(COUNT($D$3:$D$38)*34%)>0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*34%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*67%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))0,LARGE($D$3:$D$38,INT(COUNT($D$3:$D
$38)*100%)),MAX( $D$3:$D$38))

Excel 2010 :: Color Fill A Range Of Cells If Specific Cells Not Blank

I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.

Locking Text In Cells But Not The Ability To Change Colour Of Cells With Mouse Click

Mar 5, 2013

Locking text in cells but not the ability to change colour of cells

******** width="234" height="60" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="aswift_0" name="aswift_0" style="left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px;">*********>

I have a spreadsheet where I can change the colour of a cell by clicking the mouse, I also have text in many of the cells.

What I need to do is protect (lock) the text so that no one can change the text in any of the cells, but I still want to be able to change the colour of the cells by clicking the mouse in that cell.

Count Cells Containing Dates (greater Than 2014) Based On Filtered Cells

Jun 24, 2014

I have spreadsheet with different 100s of columns of dates with 600 rows. The first row identifies which zone the data belongs to (North, South, East, West. NE, SW, SW1, etc...)

I want to write a formula to check how many dates in each column fall in 2015 or later years; This can be accomplished by writing a countifs formula.

Where it gets complicated is once i filter on the Zones;

I want the formula to give me the desired result - count of all CELLS where the year is 2015 or greater - WITH FILTERS ON.

I stumbled upon following sumproduct formula that gives count for visible cells, however when i apply the date criteria, i get incorrect result -

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(IJ3:IJ999,ROW(IJ3:IJ999)-MIN(ROW(IJ1:IJ999)),,1))*(IJ3:IJ999>DATE(2014,12,31)))
