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 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 Replies View RelatedI 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 am trying to write some questions on cells of Sheet1 of a workbook. Then I want to write the answers on cells of Sheet2 of the same workbook. I want the user to be able to double click the question-cell on Sheet1 and be taken to the respective answer on Sheet2.

This morning I went to use it and the function does not work after I change a number within the field of that function. If, however, I go into the SUM function and double click, then hit enter, it does the new calculation.

I have this list of all rangenames in my workbookin column A:A
For some reason I want to doubleclick on the rangename in the list to activate this range.
The reason is that I want more smooth activation-prosess; The Excel Range List is too long to practical use as a direct lookup, so I want to activate directly from my own list (where i have added definitions to the range names.
I have tried to build a hyperlink formula, but failed. Maybe the macro below can be modified to do the job, but I am stuck here as well.

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;
Sub CopySignificant()

Dim dRow As Long 'row index on destination worksheet

I am trying to create code so that when a cell in Column C (for example C1) is double clicked, it makes the font bold, italicized, blue and inserts a row below the double clicked cell. I am also trying to make it so that if the cell is double clicked again, it removes the bold, italics, blue and deletes the row that was previously inserted.

If Not Target.Font.Bold Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select

I want a X to be put in the activecell if empty or removed if already there. By searching this forum I found and read the article "Adding a Command Button to the Excel Right Click Pop-up Toolbar/Command Bar" and was able to add the code to do this to the right click sub menu. Is there a way to do the same thing by double clicking on the cell? This probably seems a bit nit pickey but I would just like for it to work using double click for my users. I wrote the following code to performe the action
Sub Toggle_Macro()
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True Then
ActiveCell.Value = "X"
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Size = 12
.ColorIndex = 3

Else: Selection.ClearContents

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with some 300 plus rows of data. I use filters to sort through the rows to get down to anywhere from 8 to 10 or so rows. At that point I would like to be able to select (doule click) a filtered row of 10 cells (A:J) copy the data and paste it to a different sheet starting with cell B18. I want to be able to perform this process up to 5 seperate times.
I have recorded a macro to do basically what I am trying but with many short falls. It only selects one row, I cannot double click on a row and it dosen't always paste to the proper cell.
When we double click between two cell it goes to the last entered cell. I would like to disable this through a macro. Can anyone pls provide me a code to disable this.

modify my code to do the following:
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.
I am looking to double click a cell in Column "A" to copy the ajacent cells to another sheet.

Is it possible to create a menu that could be called by a double click which would allow you to click on a value from that menu and insert it into the double clicked cell. I know I could use a data validation list, but that is tacky and you have to scroll down the list to find the data you would like. I'd like to have a menu pop up that stores different values in 6 columns and 25 rows. Any way without having to jump into an access database?

i have some code that allows my users to enter their user ID on double clicking. The worksheet code below shows how on double clicking into Colum 3 (If Target.Column = 3 Then) then the user ID will appear. Q: How do i get the code to work in Columns 3, 5 and 7 but not those inbetween?! I tried using "or" but it allowed the ID to be entered into all columns! i.e. 3,4,5,6 and 7 which is not what I require. In short I need the ID to appear on double clik into every other column.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

If Target.Column = 3 Then

I'm trying to find the code which will have the effect of a double click.
I want to use event code so that when I click on a cell once it will cause a drop-down in the cell (the cell is formatted with wrapped text).
In a folder I have 2 excel files the the first file called products & contains sheets with the names of each product, in each product sheet I recorded the names of some customers.
The second file is called customers & contains sheets with the names of each customer.
when both files are open & I am in the products file I want to be able to select a product lets say shampoo double click on one of the customers & automatically go to the specified customer in the customers file.
I inserted this code in every sheet of products file & things went fine:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
For Each wb In Workbooks
For Each wk In wb.Worksheets
If wk.Name = Target.Value Then
MyWin = wb.Name
End If
Next wk
Next wb
Instead of inserting this code on every sheet module (I might have 60 sheets) I tried to insert it
Just In Thisworkbook module but it didn’t work:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
For Each wb In Workbooks
For Each wk In wb.Worksheets
If wk.Name = Target.Value Then
MyWin = wb.Name

On double clicking a cell, I want to unhide the 10 rows below the target.
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Range(Target, Target.Offset(10, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub
I thought this could should do it. But it only seems to want to unhide the target row (obviously unhidden anyway as i'm double-clicking a cell in it).
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Target.Offset(10, 0).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub
This code unhides only the 10th row below the target.
code to have check marks appear in multiple non-adjacent columns in a worksheet by double clicking.

If Intersect(Target, Range("Checkboxes1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

However I also need the code to work on two other named ranges "Checkboxes2" (E4:E100) and "Checkboxes3" is G4:G100.
