Override Cell Drag & Drop Behavior
Oct 13, 2007
For example. Dragging c7 to e5.
My range before dragging and dropping...
After the drop.
What do you think? I think it can be done but do not want to waste time going about it the wrong way. Please give me any ideas on how you would approach this problem.
Some information to start with. The modal dialog that pops up can be dealt with.
This one.
I can determine if I want to insert down or up. I am not concerned with shifting left or right at this point.
I can also determine the original address and destination address of the drag and drop operation by using the change event.
The ranges being dragged will be limited to a single cell.

When I drag a text file from my desktop into an existing Excel worksheet it automatically creates a new workbook. I'd like to know how to modify this such that I can drop the file into my existing worksheet (and not have a new workbook create) and then run some VBA macros on it.

Drag & Drop Example.xlsx
In the example attachment on the weekly tab, you will see I have daily totals and a sum for weekly. On the summary tab I have the columns going down with a link to the weekly totals.
I have over 5 years of data in this format and don't want to link each cell in one sheet to another. If I drag and drop, obviously the weekly doesn't come down correctly.
Is there another way as I don't want to have to do this for over 250 weekly totals (and counting) manually.

I've finally gotten the code down to drag an item from one list box and drop it into another listbox, but only for one item at a time. The list boxes are on a user form and I am using Excel 2002.
how to select multiple items in ListBox1, drag them to and drop them into ListBox2?

I have a spreadsheet where I often have to exchange pairs of cells. I currently do this by dragging Cell A to a blank portion of the sheet, dragging Cell B to Cell A's former location, then dragging Cell A to Cell B's former location. I was just thinking that I might be able to use VBA to allow me to drag Cell A to Cell B and have them "trade places".
I don't even know what events are involved in the dragging process so I don't know where to start.

I am looking to if there is anyway to move an image box using a mouse drag and drop action. I have put together a little example of what I am trying to work with and was wondering if anyone on here had any tricks to make this work.
I realise the drag and drop method only applies to the textbox and listbox but have seen some old code that can simulate the drag and drop by creating a border of some sort to illustrate where the image box is going to be placed and final just setting the properties of that image box to where the border is placed.
In the example type in a size in the width and height textboxs (I used 3000,3000) and then what I want to do from there is move the white box using the mouse within the blue box.

I was trying to drag a node onto a worksheet and for that node to remain in the treeview control.
I have found out that if I hold the CTRL key then the node remains on the treeview.
Does anyone know how I can implement this action in my code so I don't have to keep pressing the control key?

I am wondering if it is possible to drag & drop, via left-click, the data in a cell but WITHOUT affecting it's reference -- i.e., like "Copy here as values only".

Which code is "better" to disable D&D, C&P....
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
[Code] .......
OR This one:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
With Application
.CutCopyMode = False
.CellDragAndDrop = False
[Code] ........
I noltice that one uses "Option Explicit" and one doesn't, one seems to be longer than the other, but when I tested both, they both seem to do the same thing. I did notice that neither one of them prevents a "paste" into the worksheet when something is copied from an outside source, but that is not a concern right now!!!

I've created a macro to disable cut-copy-paste and drag-and-drop (below), but when the user exits Excel, the drag-and-drop option remains turned off.
The user has to click on the Office button, go to Excel Options, Advanced tab, and re-enable the fill handle manually. How can I have my macro do this automatically when the workbook is closed?
'*** In a standard module ***
Option Explicit
Sub ToggleCutCopyAndPaste(Allow As Boolean)
'Activate/deactivate cut, copy, paste and pastespecial menu items
Call EnableMenuItem(21, Allow) ' cut
Call EnableMenuItem(19, Allow) ' copy
Call EnableMenuItem(22, Allow) ' paste
Call EnableMenuItem(755, Allow) ' pastespecial
'Activate/deactivate drag and drop ability
Application.CellDragAndDrop = Allow
'Activate/deactivate cut, copy, paste and pastespecial shortcut keys
With Application
Select Case Allow
Case Is = False ....................................

I am researching the possibility of using Excel 2003 WITHOUT a Cad or Drawing package to simulate a drawing. (Consultants inquiries are WELCOME). The idea is to prompt the user (Sales Rep or Customer) for a few key dimensions and then plot out a closed curve based on the coordinantes entered. This shape, which would need to be accurately scaled, would then be sectioned and used as a canvas for dragging and dropping various icons.
Why use Excel instead of CAD?
Other than "everyone" having it, the placement of the "icons" relative to the perimeter of the curve will be used to estimate material costs and generate a quotation like a configurator application.
Key hurdles seem to be the drawing of a curve with cells as pixels and using drag & drop with custom icons - possible as an Add-In?

How can I disable the paste function on an Excel worksheet, including drag and drop?
Preferably I still want to retain the ability to copy.

I making a template for multiple users to import data into for analysis. I want them to be able to delete and drag-and-drop data to get rid of any bogus values. However i need forumlas that reference those to NOT follow the values as there as moved. As a simple example say you have two columns, column A is a set of random numbers, column B is the number from coumn A times 2. If take the bottom half of column A and drag it up one cell, overwriting a cell, now the cell in column B next to the overwritten cell has a #REF err and ever cell below that now references a Cell in column A from the previous row. I want a formula that references a static address and will not follow the cell if it is moved.
If I use named ranges rather than specific cells references it works for the above example, however for my actual form it does not. Even though the ranges and formulas stay the same I start getting incorrect values. If there is no other way to this I will try to figure why the named ranges do not work.

I am running Excel 2010 and Windows 7.
I have a form with a main list box and several other list boxes. I drag and drop records from the main list box to the others. When I drop a record onto one of the list boxes, a corresponding worksheet is updated with the same record. This works just fine.
The problem I have is:I close and re-open the form after having added some dataDrag/Drop a record to the list boxThe worksheet won't find the first empty rowExample: If the worksheet already contains 4 rows of data, I have to drag/drop 5 times before the fifth row will be updatedI would like to drop the data the first time and have the first blank row updated
Notes:
1.) I have tried variations of "xlUp", "xlDown", and SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell) in the "Worksheets("Monday")... line of code; all to no avail.
2.) The cells contain formatting (borders)
Here is the relevant code:
Code:
'Copy items from the list box to the worksheet
For intI = 1 To ListBox2.ListCount
For intJ = 1 To ListBox2.ColumnCount
If IsEmpty(Worksheets("Monday").Cells(intI + 1, intJ)) Then
Worksheets("Monday").Cells(intI + 1, intJ).Value = ListBox2.List(intI - 1, intJ - 1)
End If
Next intJ
Next intI

i am working on a spreadsheet that is doing two things 1) its allowing the user to choose between 1 to 3 number or N/A from the list validation option and 2) there is a checkbox if one selects that all the columns that have the formula will become N/A irrespect of data in it. I am using the following formula in the list validation option a3 is the check boc.
E5 =1
E6= 2
E7 = 3
E8=N/A
=if(a3=true, $E$8, $E$5:$E$8)
The issue I am having with this is, if I start selecting something from the drop down and half way I realize I need to check the box, it will only make it E8 value for the cells I have not touched and the ones I have already selected the drop down value it will remain. However I want it to override the value to E8 irrespect.
1) If the user of the spreadsheet clicks on the check box (this is in A3 cell) which i have linked it using format control then all the cell (Column E) that have the formula =if(A3=True, "N/A", ) will have N/A which is not applicable and not an error as you mentioned. I have successfully implemented this
2) If the user does not select the check box (a3) then each of the cell (Column E) has a drop down which the user can select either 1,2,3 or N/A. Which I have successfully implemented by using the data validations. Now the struggle I am having is as follows: I have attached the spreadsheet for your reference too.
Now if I select number 2 in cell E10, 2 in cell E11 and 3 in cell E 13 and you can see alll the other cell in column E are 0, because of the formula and the box in A3 is not checked in Tab 1. In Tab 2 I have checked the box everything turned N/A in column E except cells E10, E11 and E13 because I had previously selected 2,2,3 respectively. This is not what I want, what I want is when I check that box everything should turn to N/A basically an override function is what I want to created.

I have a situation where I need a macro to reference another cell in the sheet if the cell is left blank. If the user wants to edit the value, they have the option to manually input a value but if they decide to leave it blank, it autopopulates the referenced cell.

I use the command
ActiveSheet.Shapes("ZoneTexte " & R_Box).TextFrame.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=10).Font.Size = 10
To modify the Font.Size the 10 first characters in my textbox.
Work fine the first time. Problem occured when the same macro is called for the second time in the same textbox.
Problem: I got 20 of the first characters font.size modified instead of the first 10. Calling it a third time, i will have thirty characters. The start :=1 seems to be modified.
Strange and i have problem to explain it using my FranGlish language writing

I am trying to assign a macro to the Print button on the Standard Toolbar. Basically I want that button to print the number of pages I've specified in a cell, but I still want to be able to use the 'File/Print...' option if I need to.
I did try to solve this issue in an earlier post, but this exact problem remained unsolved. For more information

A client of ours has one particular file that has some very strange behavior as described below. This only occurs with the one particular file and the behavior is consistent across different PC's in both their office and ours. All other Excel files in both offices work fine. Here's what happens:
- you can use Windows Explorer to copy the file between drives without
a problem (as expected)
- if you open the file in Excel on one drive then save it back to that
same drive with either the same file name or a different file name, the
file works fine (as expected)
- if you open the file in Excel on one drive then do a "Save As" to
save it to a *different* drive with either the same file name or a
different file name (in default .xls format), the new file causes
errors in Excel every time you open it as per below (weird!)
- even if you do a "Save As" and choose a different format eg Excel
97-2003 or Excel 95, the error behavior is consistent (weird!).............

=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A1:C2)
If I simply drag the above formula down I end up with
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A2:C3)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A3:C4)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A4:C5)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A5:C6)
I am trying to drag the above formula so that it copies in the following manner:
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A3:C4)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A5:C6)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A7:C8)
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A9:C10)
How can I achieve this result?

I would like cell D2 (on Sheet1) to default to the value of "EACH", unless the value is found on Sheet2 (column C). If it is found on Sheet2, then I want it to match the unit beside the respective upc code (see Col Q on Sheet1, and Col A on Sheet2) . Then I would like to be able to drag down cell D2 and all cells on Sheet2 would match and any that do not match, would be filled with "Each". Desired results are shown in attached example file.

I understand how to click and drag a cell or row of data but is it possible to click and drag a group of rows of data? I have 12 rows of data that will repeat itself every 12 weeks. I can "save & paste" easily enough, but just curious if there is a way to click and drag 12 rows of data so that they remain the same for every group of 12 weeks.

I have an inventory sheet where I occassionally have to create more rows with the same information. So I will create rows and then copy and paste info into them. What I would like to do is be able to drag the information by clicking on the lower left corner and populate the cells that way. The problem is that if there is a number in the cell then it will automatically add to it. For instance, if I try to drag the contents of cell labeled klaraid 1112 then it will add incrementally to this in the cells below.....1113, 1114 and so on. If there are no numbers in the thing i'm dragging then it works fine. How do I drag cells with numbers without it adding to the contents incrementally?

In my worksheet i have pairs of data from A2:A18. cell A2 is paired with A3, cell A5 to A6.
In cell C2, I have the formula =IF(A2>A3,A2,A3). then in C3 I have =IF(A5>A6,A5,A6).
I would then like to be able to drag these formulas down to C7 and take the appropriate data.
So another example, cell C4 should be =IF(A8>A9,A8,A9).
I have seen many formulas for how to drag skipping a row, but couldn't find anything on pairs of data while skipping a row as well.
The worksheet is attached : TEST.xlsx

I am trying to drag down a formula (see below). the cell reference A6 and E6 is not updating to A7 and E7 etc etc when i drag the formula down using the corner thing. it remains constant at A6 and E6.
=HYPERLINK("#INDEX('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$F$4:$F$3000,MATCH(1,('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$B$4:$B$3000=A6)*('Shipping Tracker Week X'!$D$4:$D$3000=E6),0))","Link 1")
im pretty sure the problem comes down to the hashtag and quotation marks that i added, as the formula properly increased the cell references when i drag down without the hashtag and quotations. however, i sort of need it because adding those seems to be the only way i can get the hyperlink to link me over to the other sheet and to the correct cell containing the hyperlink.
part 2 of problem: the hashtag and quotations is currently a workaround method for me. the original intention was for the hyperlink to directly link me to a website, which is referenced from a separate sheet. however, without the hashtag and quotations, i get a "Cannot open specified file" error.

I have a sheet where users enter a date and other details on each row.
The number of rows where data is entered can be upto 20 at any one time.
I wish to allow users to drag the cell date down for the number of rows they wish, without the date incrementing.
