Multiple Unwanted Cells Selected

Nov 11, 2013

I'm sure you've all encountered that amazingly annoying glitch where you click on one cell and 4 or 5 others highlight with it. F8 does not do the trick to stop it. Sometimes changing the zoom will work to get it to stop, but not always (like now).

I shouldn't have to arbitrarily change the zoom on a sheet for Excel to start working properly.

Loop Down Rows On Multiple Selected Cells

Sep 25, 2008

I have a sub that will join the text together from multiple columns into one cell but it only works for one row. I would like it to work through the rows selected. How do I do this?

Sub JoinText()

myCol = Selection.Columns.Count
For i = 1 To myCol
ActiveCell = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0) & ActiveCell.Offset(0, i)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, i) = ""
Next i

End Sub

Finding Unwanted Characters In Cells

Aug 6, 2009

I'm having the following little problem, and i'm hoping that
someone here can help me solve it.

I have a number of rows containing data starting at row 1.
I already made VBA code which finds the last row containing data.
That row number is stored in the variable "LastRowWithData".

What i want to do now is the following.

In column B (in row 1 to the row number stored in "LastRowWithData"),
there are long code's which all have to be checked for unwanted characters.

Some of these unwanted characters are the "I" and "O" characters both in
upper case and lower case.

If these characters are found a messagebox has to appear, saying something
like "Illegal character found in cell ____".

If more than one cell containing unwanted characters are found, either more
messageboxes with the cell coordinates have to be displayed or one messagebox
displaying all the cell coordinates in which the unwanted characters are found.

Im planning to use a while - wend statement to check all cells for unwanted
characters. (While ActiveCell.Row LastRowWithData)

Is there a simple way to do this in (Excel 2003) VBA ?

Excel 2010 :: VBA Code For Inserting Text In All Column B-cells Of Multiple Selected Rows

Jul 11, 2012

Software: Excel 2010, Windows 7

What is the VBA code for inserting text in all column B-cells of multiple selected rows?

I am creating a worksheet with a table containing various data related to orders of various materials (this is more or less data gathering from an older, paper-based 'system'). This table spans, columnwise, from A to D and expands downwards as more orders are added. The information in each column is: A=order number, B=type of material and C=material specs. and D=additional comments.

I've set it up so that the only thing I really have to do is to insert the type of material in the cells of column B, and the rest will sort itself out. Instead of having to insert a new row for each new entry and manually typing in the name of the material (these entries are often done in the midst of already existing data), I created several similar, macroed buttons for the different types of materials we use. These macros work by selecting the row of the currently active cell, inserting a new row and then add the name of the material in the column B-cell of this new row. What I am having trouble doing though, is to get the text-entry to work for a selection of multiple cells.

As an example, lets say that I would like to add 5 orders of "Grade A Steel" in the middle of the table - in the row above row 8. With the macro I currently have I can select cell B5, click the macro, and a new row will be inserted with "Grade A Steel" in column B of this new row. This action could be performed 5 times over, but would be easier if I could just mark a range of 5 cells, say B8:B12, click the macro and get the text/data inserted the column B-cells of all 5 of the new rows. So far I've been able to create a macro that inserts multiple new rows, but I've only been successful in filling the column B-cell in the first row leaving the 4 below empty.

Delete Unwanted Rows Based On Value In Cells?

Sep 28, 2011

I am aware this is probably very simple, but I haven't been able to find a usable macro yet. I would like the data in the workbook that is not "Tuesday" (column L) and is not "3" or "4" (column I) to be deleted. All rows that have "Tuesday" and either "3" or "4" should not be deleted. Each row that is not deleted must have Tuesday in column L. All other cells are blank intentionally. The workbook will remain the same titled WKBK1 (no need to put the output data in a separate workbook nor separate spreadsheet).

Do you know what the macro would be so I don't have to copy and paste a formula over a large number of cells?

WKBK1
A B C D E F G H I J K L 2

Fill Range Of Cells With Text When Listbox Option Selected - Clear When Not Selected

Jul 25, 2014

I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:

VB:
Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim sAddress As String
Dim sValue As String

'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs
sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)

[Code]....

When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.

The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..

Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)

Code solution can be entered directly beneath:

VB:
If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True

VBA - Displaying Values In Multiple Lines If Multiple Checkbox's Are Selected

Sep 10, 2012

In my userform I have a list of check box's that can be selected. Currently if more than one is selected, they will appear in the spread sheet in the same line one after another with a space between them. How do I make it so they either appear with a comma appearing after each, so the next value appears on the next line below or most perferably the cell turning to a drop down list with the values?

Current code

VB:
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox1.Caption
If CheckBox2.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox2.Caption
If CheckBox3.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox3.Caption
If CheckBox4.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox4.Caption
If CheckBox5.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox5.Caption
If CheckBox6.Value = True Then ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value & " " & CheckBox6.Caption

VBA Calculating Max / Min Within Multiple Selected Ranges

Dec 25, 2013

I have a problem with using VBA to calculate max/min within multiple selected ranges.

Here is the file: [URL].... I've also attached it below the post.

Column A to D contain the raw data, column G to L contain the trading data. Each trade is marked with "tick" which consists one buy/sell and one close. The entry and close date&time are also included. Then how to match each entry and close date&time from right to left and therefore to look up max/min value within entry and close time from the raw data in the left columns? Respectively, I would like to calculate the min(low) for a buy/close tick and max(high) for a sell/close tick.

The challenges for me:

1.How to match, or reference from the right to left. I knew that "vlookup" could only match one certain value. (correct me if I didn't know enough about "vlookup")
2.The date&time in the left are time intervals while those in the right are time points. How to refer and locate them?
3.In the right side, length of intervals that each tick marked (i.e.from buy to close) are not the same, so should I use a array to contain the length, and then calculate max/min within each? When the data amount get larger, it is not possible to manually use "min" function.

Macro To Act Differently On Selected Multiple Columns?

Jan 18, 2014

I have data spread over several columns and this data is added from different files which has a different format than the one required to be in the Consolidated File.

I get results from a portal for Insurance certification, which has Exam Date, Issue Date and Validity Date which is copied manually and pasted from this file and to my master consolidated sheet...then I have to fetch other details for these certified employees from the HR Database which has the data in different formats...

So have to manually copy the format from the previous rows and then copy to the copied data, since this is done more than once in a day its tedious and time consuming so can this be done with a Macro..

I made my own small code but dont know how to make it act differently on selected columns....

I would select the entire matrix and then want the macro to run differently, taking into consideration the column names

[Code].....

I also need to add a vlookup formula for some column based on the column B's value...

Ex: This is for Col C

[Code] .....

So how do I write the code in such a way that the code acts on its own differently.

Keeping Only Selected Rows Over Multiple Worksheets

Nov 29, 2013

I have an excel file with over 20 worksheets and each of them have around 1200 rows. The first column in each worksheet contains the variable names and then the data associated to it is present horizontally.

I only want to keep around 80 rows from those 1200 rows. They are not in sequence (means they are not in continuous order) so I manually selected those rows by deleting the non required rows step by step.

I did it manually on 2 worksheets but I don't want to do that manually over 20 worksheets. Is there any method that can speedup the whole process.

I am attaching the snapshots of the worksheets..

This one is before I deleted the unwanted rows.

This one is after the deletion of unwanted rows.

Move Multiple Selected Items To Another Listbox

'Clear the selected item

But I dont want to loose any data that is in c2, in other words I still want to be able to manually select C2.

Scatter Plot Chart With Multiple Series From Selected Range

Jan 31, 2009

What I want to achieve is a script that would create a new scatter plot of multiple series from a selected block of cell. I found a thread that was similar but what is different from my data is that my x values are different for each series.

The format of the data is in the following format, the first series will the first x,y pair, the 2nd series would be the second x,y pair. I don't know if it'll be an issue but one thing is that the date might be different lengths. For instance, the 3rd series, only has 4 data points, whereas the other series contains 6 data points?

x0.200.400.600.801.001.20
y5.002.501.671.251.000.83
x0.100.200.300.500.701.30
y5.002.501.671.000.710.38
x0.100.300.400.50
y6.672.221.671.33

So essentially, is there a way I can have the script say, select your range, and then graph the selected range as a scatter plot?
