I am trying to make it so that when you double-click in a cell in column A, a message box opens populated with the text string in the corresponding cell (same row) in column Z. Seems to me like it should be easy enough, but despite spending the last hour searching for clues, I can't seem to figure it out.
View 8 RepliesI have spreadsheet with client names. I'd like to build logic that will open a form with client information when a user double-clicks on the client name. But I have a couple of problems.
- First, I'd like to protect the sheet and hide the formulas. But when I protect the sheet, I get the "the cell or chart you are trying to change is protected" error when I double click the protected cell.
- If I deselect the "Select Locked Cells" options when I protect the sheet, I no longer have the ability to double-click on the cell.
how I can double click on a cell yet not allow the user to edit the cell (or see the formula)?

I seem to have broken something!. Whenever I double-click to open an Excel file (.xls files are associated correctly), Excel opens, but nothing happens. That status bar says "Ready," but my workbook never appears.
If I do a File-> Open within Excel, then I am able to open the workbook. I have no idea what is going on. This occurs for all Excel files whether they contain macros or not.
I am trying to run a macro when I double click on a certain cell (D34). The cell has data in it (Southeast NSC). What I am expecting to happen is once I double click on the cell the macro will run the retrieve and I will end up at expense chart page.
The macro I am trying to run is an Essbase retrieve.

I want to be able to double click on a cell in a column. If it has a certain word in it, it will take it to that worksheet. Auto filters are used so these cells can move in a column at any time. This is why I am looking for a code to validate the contents in the cell first.
ie. Cell has the word: BSALT, when double clicked it will take it to the BSALT worksheet.
Cell has the word MLW, when double clicked it will take it to the MLW worksheet.
And so on.
These values are in one column only. If they weren't able to be autofiltered i could do it, but the mere fact that they can move around is giving me trouble.
Normally when I double click on a cell with a formula linked to another spreadsheet, the double click takes you to the source. However, if the cell also has a comment, the double click takes you into the edit comment option and not to the source.
Is it possible to turn off the edit comment option from the double click?
What happens when I double click a cell in a pivot table?

I have a list of numbers in column B of one sheet.
these numbers are unique and randomly allocated to other sheets in the workbook.
i would like a macro which when a user double clicks on a cell in the list of numbers .. the macro will jump to the sheet containing that number.. (i.e. do something like the find function)...
I have some code below which might be useful for you but I can't work out what I need to write.
I want to run a macro any time any cell in a range is double clicked. I can make it work with just on cell, but not any cell in the range.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do is create a link so that if you double click on a cell in a range (Sheet1!A3:A100) it will copy the value (ie Sheet1!A6) and paste it to the next sheet in a fixed cell (sheet2!B2).
The reason is I want to use the next sheet to do Vlookups (or may just do it in a macro) to fill in a template.
I am looking for assisitance in combining the functionality of two seperate combo box code sets. The first combo box code set allows the combo box to automaticially appear when a user Clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. The second set of code will have a combo box appear when a user Double-clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. And the code allows for Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet.
I would like to have the functionality of having the combo box to appear when a user Clicks on a cell and not having to Double-click. Also, I would like to have the option to use Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet ("Validation Lists").

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to double-click a cell to edit the contents, and I am off a few pixels, it treats the double-click as a double-click on the cell border, not the cell contents, and the focus jumps to another cell in the direction of the border instead of going into edit mode. The effect is as if I had pressed Ctrl and the arrow in the direction of the border I clicked on.
The only way I've found to disable this is to turn off the option "Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop", but unchecking that also disables actually useful things, like dragging the corner of a formula call to copy it down, etc.
Is there a good way to disable this cell jumping when I accidentally double-click a cell border?

I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.

What would the code be for a range of cells if doulbe clicked the range would be C11 thru C35
Also, I have a double click code for another symbol chart to open.
How, would this be used in the same manner if a coulmn or row were to apply on double click.
here is what i am trying to accomplish:
on the worksheet there are six ranges...each range has three columns...the first is team name, the second is rep name, and the third is the metric being measured.
what i would like to happen is...
when a team name is double clicked in any one of the ranges, i would like all three cells (team name, rep name, and metric) to be boldfaced and have the cell interior change color for all instances across all six ranges that match the team name double clicked. when double clicked again, it should go back to original formatting.
likewise, when a rep name is double clicked in any one of the ranges, i would like all three cells (team name, rep name, and metric) to be boldfaced and have the cell interior change color for all instances across all six ranges that match the rep name double clicked. when double clicked again, it would go back to original format.
so for example, if i happen to click on a cell in the team column in the second range for "team a", all cells in each range (including the adjacent cells for rep and metric) would be highlighted.
I have populated a listbox from a filtered list and when 'Double Clicking' a name I want a macro to run. All seems to be OK apart from it is not finding/returning any data; I know the data is there and I think it may be the way I'm referencing the listbox value;
