I am trying to create a Purchase Order Form that will automatically pull the next unused number from a summary Purchase Order log. I would like to create a formula that will look for the next blank cell in Column B and then pull the number from Column A in the same row.
View 4 Repliesif I can gray out the unused columns. I am creating a template that use only column A to J. I don't want user to be able to see or scroll to the unused columns. Is there any command in the setup that can gray out the unused columns? or maybe VBA codes?

Now how can I get rid of those blank rows (that actually do contain formulas but are returnnig a "" value) to have all of the employees in a "nice" grouping?
View 9 Replies View RelatedApparently Excel can't delete unused rows, nor can it specify the sheet to be exactly X by Y large. My problem comes in any time I fill down a column of data by selecting the column header (A for example) and selecting fill down, rather than selecting the exact range of cels I need the formula in (which might be several thousand...) Excel winds up taking my sheet that was, let's say, 1000 rows long and filling down until now it's many many many thousands of rows long, with "error" fills in most of the rows. This now means that any kind of sorting, resizing of rows, etc. takes absolutely forever because it's dealing with 5 or 10 times more rows than I am actually using. Even clearing the contents of all the extra cels does not help. I can't in any way seem to get rid of these extra rows.

Other than using the search on a 1 by 1 basis, is there an easier way to locate Declared variables that are unused in the code and/or Public variables that are only used in 1 sub/function?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just finished my project (with loads of help from you guys) and wondered if there was any way of making it look less like the spreadsheet it is when it's opened.
I've removed everything I can and I'm left with a vertical scroll bar (needed) and the top menu bar (not needed).
Is that about it or can I get rid of that, and maybe size the window accordingly when the workbook is opened (so the dead space on the right is not seen) and perhaps stop the vertical scrolling at the bottom of the sheet so it doesn't scroll down to 65555 and the dead space under the sheet isn't seen.
Is there a simple way to hide rows and columns? A lady in my office just asked me how to make only Columns A to J visible and only show 100 rows. She doesn't want the rest of the spreadsheet to show. I know how to manually hide columns and rows but it takes a while to drag down and select 64000 rows so I thoguht I would ask the question:
Does Excel have a feature that will automatically hide all unused rows and columns or is there a simple VBA code to do this?
Is it possible to use conditional formatting to set all the unused columns (S - ZZ) interior color to gray?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using bar chart to display top 5 units sold each year to my Excel file. In the data table, I have listed all the units and its number (quantity) sold. The problem is, the legend of the chart displays all the units instead of just displaying units that has values (top 5 units each year) which makes the legend hard to read (see attachment) How do I get Excel to select legends only if there is a value for it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a macro that will format unused rows or with no value in a given range. I have a sheet that I am using that some of the date is either added or deleted and would like to have a macro to do grey out unused rows. I am using this with a form control.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet ranging from A1 to AH602 Column AH contains row totals and Row 602 contains colunm totals. I am importing a CVS file starting at cell A4 - the number of rows contained in the import varies drastically. I would like to build a macro that would remove all the unused rows. I have tried to record a macro that would do this but the number of rows always ends up static and not variable.
What I'm doing below is Using an END+HOME to take me to the furthest point in the active range then 3 UP ARROWS to get to the desired row then an END+LEFT ARROW followed by END+UP ARROW and 2 DOWN ARROWS to get to the starting cell in Column A. At that point I use a SHIFT+END+DOWN ARROW to capture the range of Rows I need to delete.
Sub Macro1()
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
Range("AH599").Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Range("A101").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub
This works except that the starting cell remains the static.
i have been trying to write an Excel sheet in 2007
that can be given a random amount of (money) and show
me the best way to spend it.
Weapons:
Name - Power - Cost
1 - 10 - 20
2 - 20 - 40
3 - 40 - 80
4 - 80 - 160
5 - 160 - 320
6 - 320 - 640
So i have 40K to spend, i want to eneter 40000 into a box and it
will auto populate the number of units i can buy, always setting the weapon
#6 as the priority.
I like the look of when only the used columns and rows are shown. I like to hide all unused columns and rows, and have the background and a minimalist spreadsheet.
HOWEVER, is it just me, or does Excel move a lot slower when thousands of rows and columns are hidden? Particularly, opening files seems to be slower. I'd love to delete them entirely from existence, so Excel only has a few rows and columns to work with, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
I have a long grocery order list and only choose about 100 items out of 1000. I would like to send it to the store with only the items I need. There are several category headings throughout the list which I would like to keep...like Produce, Meats, etc. The list total dollar amount is automatically updated as I enter the amount of the items I need. I just have a lot of unused items (10) pages worth.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have got a spreadsheet which is being used as a database. I would like the spreadsheet to close automatically if the user has not "touched" it for a specific amount of time (say 1hr).

I experimented with Workbook_WindowDeactivate but I do not know how to stop the process if the Workbook is reactivated (Maybe a DO ...LOOP calling a function returning a True/False statement on the event Workbook_WindowActivate !!). My way of thinking is the following
Workbook is deactivated
Start a timer
If the workbook is not reactivated with 1hr, save and close (no user intervention wanted)
Else stop timer
Repeat process
Need to find out how I can restrict a worksheet to show only the columns and rows that I want. For example, I want to show columns A to H, and rows 1 to 25, and nothing else - I don't want there to be a column G, or a row 26, just blank grey space. I know it's possible, because I've seen it done : D . But the closest I can get to is: View > Page Break Preview, which isn't quite what I'm after.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to populate a combo box on a form with the column name (A,B,C...etc) and the first row data. I need the code to check all columns in-case of missing column data.
Its important to note the data will be dynamic. In my add in, a form opens on requests and asks the user which column he needs to action data on. this could be on any one of several non similar spreadsheets.
E.G.: Combox to hold the following data (see column D has no data or header row):
Column A - Date
Column B - Rep
Column C - Customer
Column D -
Column E - Product
How can i pass this info to the form ?
I have a spreadsheet where I track resources needed on a project. Each resource that is selected in the resource column has a corresponding % avg and an average number of months where the resource is used. % Avg and # of Months are found in a different worksheet.
What I am looking to do is, for example: if resource A will be on the project starting in May 2015 and assigned at 30% for 7 months, I want to populate 30% starting in the colunm labeled May 2015 and copy the 30% so that a total of 7 months are populated. Also, if any of the values change (i.e: the Resource Name or the Start Month) I want to erase all the percentages that were entered in the row. How can I achieve that with a VBA code? I have formulas that retrieve the # of Months and the % Avg already.
These are the columns that I have in my spreadsheet:
Resource NameStart MonthJan-15Feb-15Mar-15Apr-15May-15Jun-15Jul-15Aug-15Sep-15
I've got a big file with a large dataset. One of the sheets works as a screening for the data, so everytime I populate an ID number in say cell C3, the rest of the sheet updates as per the formulas I have in place.

I am trying to use VLOOKUP to auto-populate a description from an entered part number. After checking up on how to do this in several different places I applied this formula to the relevant cell but all that it returns is #N/A.
I am very confused as all seems to be correct, but I am new to this and I am sure I am missing something silly. :P
On entering a part number into cell C13 on sheet 'Stores Receipt' it should search and find that number in column A on sheet 'Product List', it should then return the adjacent description from column B on sheet 'Product List' and show this in cell C17 on sheet 'Stores Receipt'.... Sounds simple hey! :D
The formula used is:
I am trying to populate a cell based on which number meets the criteria I define. This is based on sales revenue, so if the revenue is less than $6.5M, I want to use a certain value. If the value is equal to $6.5M but less than $8M I want to use another value and finally if the revenue is greater than $8M i want to use another value. Here's my formula, but it returns $0.
=IF(B2<6500000,Bonuses!J45)*OR((B2>6500000)*AND(B2<8000000),Bonuses!F45)*OR(B2>=8000000,Bonuses!B45)

i have two fields with dates - one field A1 for date authorised (for a data request) and one field B1 for date actioned (data request)
i need a formula to populate in C1 the following:
if A1 is blank then C1 is 'not actioned'
if B1 is blank then C1 is 'not complete'
if both contain dates then C1 to calculate the number of working days between the dates eg. A1 10.08.09, B1 11.08.09...C1 = 1 working day
to assign a variable to equal a Constant variable, then I need to find the last unused row on the worksheet, then paste that variable down the column (1-12200 or so rows). I also need to assign Strings for the first two Rows in the target column.
