Is there a way to set the Paste options in Excel to default to "Match Destination Formatting"? Currently the program defaults to "Keep Source Formatting". It would be extremely helpful for the work I am doing to have the default be "Match Destination Formatting" instead. I thought there might be a way to set this under "Tools, Options, Edit," but there is nothing. I am using Excel 2003
View 3 RepliesI want to prevent other users when pasting data, to overwrite the formatting of the destination cell.
Since, it is a shared file, i don't want to bother the people explaining use paste special.
I want this to happen automatically.
I don't know VB, and I tried copying what I found in the internet for similar codes, and none have worked. I only copied as they said either in Thisworkbook, and this is all I can do.
I need very easily explained if there is something more than just copying the code in VB view.
I have a existing code which copies data from one 6 workbooks to Main workbook.
Copying data from workbook 1:
It has Header at 2nd row and Data starts from 3rd row.
From A column to AG
Destination workbook: In this workbook. I have Header at 26th row From A to AG copied Data needs to be pasted at 27th row.
And like wise while continuing to copy datas from other workbook it will get added at last.
My code is working fine. But my requirement here is at Destination area.
Now i have moved Header in Destination workbook. Header is at 26th row
From A To Ag to D to AJ
Data needs to get added at bottom of each paste.
HTML Code:Â
rowofcopysheet = 3
Set copyrng = wkb.Sheets(1).Range(Cells(rowofcopysheet, 1), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row, Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToRight).Column))
Set Dest = shtDest.Range("A" & shtDest.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1)
copyrng.Copy
Dest.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
I have extracted data from multiple sheets and now want to mark this data as "Paid" and for the macro to go back and change the value in the original sheet on a row in column "AR" to "PAID.
All the columns have the same data type in.
The extracted data contains the original sheet name and each row has a unique ID No to it.
I know I probably need to use INDEX and MATCH and then Offset to post value.
Attached worksheet shows the data and columns.
I am writting code that copys a range and then pastes the values back over the same range, which gets rid of the functions in the cells. I am doing this for multiple sheets. When the code pastes the copied selection back over the same range the code is interrupted by a message box that asks me wether I want to replace the contents of the destination cells or not. I do, how do I get my code to answer yes to this message box?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have browsed for two days looking for material on effecting this. The technique quoted most is watch for undolist for paste & auto fill then undo the change and paste the value again with specific formatting needs. This technique can be implemented in a worksheet_change event handler. The problem that I am facing is that the user can copy and past while my VBA is running. Once it is caught inside my own application class object event handler all that undo stack is already cleared. Therefore I have nothing that tells me if the user has entered the value via a paste action. By the time the value is pasted, all that formatting would have been entered. For example, a value that is interpreted by another workbook as DATE will have my destination formatting changed to DATE as well even though it is designed to be TEXT at design time.
So far I have not been able to think of a scheme to deal with this.
My basic intention is to always ensure the destination cell formatting remains as TEXT. If something is already interpreted as DATE after the paste even if I can convert to TEXT the string will appear totally differently. I have to find a way to paste the whole thing as TEXT in order to keep the string the same. The problem is that there is no intrinsic PASTE event in VBA. Without a method to undo that paste I cannot catch this at all.
i am writing a custom copy/paste routine which will paste data from a selection if the cell being pasted to is not locked.
The user will select the text for coping and then launch the routine.
The routine will query for destination cell and then process the paste.
This is my routine so far:
Sub testCopy()
Dim c As Range
Dim MyRange As Range
Dim Dest As Range
Set MyRange = Selection
Set Dest = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select a cell", _
Title:="Paste Destination", Type:=8)
For Each c In MyRange
If Dest.Locked = False Then
Dest.Value = c.Value
End If
'dest = ?
Next c
End Sub
What I need to know is how to increment the dest reference so it is in the same 'relative' position from the initial dest that c (from the selection) is in or is there a better way to do this?
I'm creating a Macro to paste a series of formulas from a template in hidden rows above to cells further down in the same worksheet. My code works fine if I set an absolute range as the Destination - here's a portion of it:
Sub TimelineRow150()
Dim TimelineMatch As Integer, ProjectPlan As Object
TimelineMatch = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
If TimelineMatch = 26 Then
Range("E26:AQ28").Select
[Code]....
I'd like to be able to copy and paste this code to run it multiple times in the same worksheet, (the TimelineMatch variable actually has 26 different options). Is there a way to replace the [Range("E150:AQ152").Select] portion of the code with a range that is relative to the Active Cell? (I'd instruct users that cell E be the Active cell before running the Macro, and E to AQ is still the range I need the copied data to appear.) I've tried using ActiveCell.Offset, but I keep getting an error of Method 'Range of Object' _Global' failed.
I have two workbooks. I am copying cells data from one workbook A to workbook B with macro - pretty easy. Now, after selecting and copying cell data in workbook A and switching to workbook B I want to be able to pause the macro and wait for the user to chose a correct cell where he/she wants to paste the data. After the selection the macro would automatically paste the data in selected cell. Since I am completely newbie any help would be appreciated. Here is the macro I have so far :
Sub CopyVIN()
'
' CopyVIN Macro
' Macro recorded 5/26/2009 by Pacific Coachworks
'
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("G9:R9").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("For copying VIN").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("A1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy

' Here I'd like to have a code for waiting for a user selection and pasting the data automaticlly.

I want to fill all a column bottom-up but without specify cells in format "A1500:A2" like
VB:
Range("H1578").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("H2:H1578")
{H1578 have a formula so...}
I have data in the first 7 columns, with a variable(Range) for the first 5 columns
VB:
Dim oRange As Range
Set oRange = ActiveSheet.Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(89, 4))
{The first cell in it is A1}
My question is : How to fill Range("H2:H1578") using my ''oRange'' variable?
I try with OffSet but my code didn't work. I need to do the same with the 6 columns to the right and then plot in a chart.
I need a macro that will match a row and column then paste a value. I've included a screenshot on the before and after on ideally how it will look.
So, looking at the screen shot: (see screenshot here) [URL]....
Select buyer is a drop down box and will be selected by the user
Today's date will be =Today()
Value Paste is sum formula from another sheet that needs to be pasted.
So based on "Select Buyer" and "Todays Date", the macro needs to paste the value in the appropriate cell, the screenshot shows the before and after.
Attached is the example : Example.xlsx
Basically, would like to have the following conditional formatting:
There is a fruit listed and the are person 1 and person 2. If the fruit under Person 1 or Person 2 matches the fruit under Fruit, the cell under either person 1 or person 2 highlights green; if it does not match, it highlights red. If the fruit has not been listed under fruit, such as in cell A3, cells B3 and C3 are not highlighted.
So basically if in the tab (Inet Summary Costings) has 17346 in column H:H then I would like it to paste all the rest of the columns that match up with 17346 in H:H

View 15 Replies View RelatedI basically need to copy/move the text in column E, from vertical to horizontal using VBA when column C is the same. Then delete the extra lines. eg. C1:C3 = 1, so all the text from E1:E3 needs to goto E1:G1, then Rows 2&3 can be deleted as they are no longer needed. (Note: there are not always 3 instances, this can vary from 3-10).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make each Cell in a range of cells to change its color from Black to one of a few colors. This should happen when the value of the Cell matches one of a few possibilities. The problem begins when I want the value of Sheet1 Cell A1 to come from Sheet2 Cell B1. When I change the value in Sheet2 Cell B1 the format of Sheet1 A1 changes only when I click on that Cell. How can I make it change immediately when I paste my values in Sheet2? Here is the code I am using on Sheet1:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "one"
icolor = 1
Case "two"

Case "three"
icolor = 3
Case "four"
icolor = 4
Case "five".......................
I have an "actual build" worksheet, which allows the user to select which materials were used, material properties (e.g. material grade etc.), including its corresponding length. The user can enter all these in manually, or select the material name from a pre-defined list (Reference worksheet contains this information), and then the associated properties are automatic lookups from the Reference worksheet.
So all this is fine / completed, and the LOOKUP returns its theoretical length from the reference table. However, its actual material lengths will almost never match the theoretical length, so what I want to happen is for a conditional format to highlight the cell, to notify the user that they need to enter a manual value. The auto-looked up length is still useful a proposed build on the worksheet, but having it highlighted to ensure it is manually entered later is the objective.
The other thing is it can't just check if it's a formula, it has to check if it is a formula with a MATCH/LOOKUP function. E.g. it needs to be unhighlighted if someone has a basic formula, ie = 2*0.42 if there two of the item etc..
Hence, I was thinking of having a conditional formula that "format only cells that contain" and then format only cells with "specific text" and "containing" and "MATCH(" text function, however this doesn't seem to work.
Length cell formula:
=OFFSET('Reference- Materials'!$N$5, MATCH($BO32, Materials_Item_Number, 0), 0) * $AH32
My Goal: If the value of G8 (which is the result of a count formula) matches the value of G10, then apply formatting to G10 through H11.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two sheets (Results and August) with numbers in column A, I want to change the color of the cell on Results if its contents matches the number on August. I was feeling adventurous today, so I tried writing some VBA code, but it changes the color of ALL the cells. What am I missing?
Sub FindMatches()
'Compares student numbers on Results sheet to those on August sheet; if match is found then highlights the student number

For Each C In Sht1Rng
Set d = Sht2Rng. Find(C.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not d Is Nothing Then
Sht1Rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Set d = Nothing
End If
Next C

I suspect that I shouldn't be using sht1rng.Interior.Colorindex, as I think that may color the entire range? What should I use instead?
The Problem: There is data in a step chart from left to right. On a separate step chart, Conditional formatting is set to lookup values from the first step chart and highlight non empty cells in the row. The formatting should only format the first non empty cell from left to right in the row. After formatting the first non zero value in the time line the formatting should cease. Note: the conditional formatting value and the value of the cell being formatted are not the same in either value or time but are related. The formatting is to illustrate the relation
Current Formatting formula:

I have a spreadsheet (range A1:P5000). B2:B5000 would contain cheque numbers. Many of the cheque numbers would be repeated and would have common data in columns C, D, E, F, G, H, L and N.
I am trying to get VB code to copy and paste the common data when a user enters a cheque number.
For example:
When a user enters a cheque number in B3, VB would check B2 for a match. If a match is found, then VB would copy C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H2, L2 and N2 and paste them in C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, H3, L3 and N3. If no match is found, then the user would have to manually enter the data in C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, H3, L3 and N3.
When a user enters a cheque number in B4, VB would check the B2:B3 for a match. If a match is found (in B2 – for example), then VB would copy C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H2, L2 and N2 and paste them in C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, H4, L4 and N4. If no match is found, then the user would have to manually enter the data in C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, H4, L4 and N4.
When a user enters a cheque number in B100, VB would check the B2:B99 for a match. If a match is found (in B90 – for example), then VB would copy C90, D90, E90, F90, G90, H90, L90 and N90 and paste them in C100, D100, E100, F100, G100, H100, L100 and N100. If no match is found, then the user would have to manually enter the data in C100, D100, E100, F100, G100, H100, L100 and N100.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet of donations and the dates on which they were made. I input the dates like so: 1/2/2009, and then I format the cells so they appear like this: January 2, 2009. When I use this date in for MS Word "mail merge" functions, the date shows up in its unformatted formula bar form: 1/2/2009. I would prefer that it show up like January 2, 2009.
My question is this: is there any way I can change the cell formula bar to read like the formatted version rather than the non-formatted version? I want the formula bar to read "January 2, 2009" instead of "1/2/2009". Obviously I could type each date manually into the formula bar, but I'm looking for a quick copy/paste solution since there are hundreds of cells. I've messed around with "paste special" options to no avail.
I dont know the correct terminology with whick to phrase my question, but I would like to know if its possible to copy say columns A-J on "worksheet A", and copy columns A-J on "worksheet B", each of which have different column widths, and paste them both to "worksheet C"?
My problem is columns A-J on "worksheet A" are perfect and copy and past fine to "worksheet C". But when I copy columns A-J from "worksheet B",which have different widths, and paste them to "worksheet C" right below what I had previously pasted from "worksheet A", the column widths interfere with each other.
I have tried a special paste, and it seems to re format everything above the current page its pasting?

1371911 Total416104
for instance in the above.. I want to black out any number in the "total" (bold) row that is less than the On Hand Qty (bold and underlined number) and I want to use a running total. For instance for part 1371911 with an On Hand Qty of 7053, the on hand is larger than the the first total of 416 so 416 should be blacked out, it is also larger than 416+104 so 104 should be blacked out as well.
This will continue until the on hand qty is less than the running total. I can conditionally format this one at a time and it could take forever as there are 3000+ lines of spreadsheet. If there is any way that you can tell me how to set the condtional format for one row and then cpy and paste it thoughout the sheet where needed.
i have an equation in A1, and i use conditional formatting for this cell, if the value of C1 is less than 1000, the result in A1 is red
i want to copy the result and the color of A1 to D1, i use paste value, the value and the color are then copied to D1 at first. but when i modify C1, the color of D1 also changed.
I have a worksheet named "List" with static values in columns A & B. I want to search all the other worksheets in the same workbook for the one that matches the value I entered in column B on the "List" sheet. The cell on the other worksheets with the possible match is B5. When it finds a match, I want it to take the data from cell B3 on that worksheet and paste it in Column C of the "List" sheet on the corresponding row (all rows in the "List" sheet have a different value in Column B).
In other words, when "List"b7 = worksheetb5 , then worksheetb3 is pasted to Listc7.
