Position Insertion Point In Cell While In Edit Mode
Aug 24, 2008
When a user clicks a cell in Column A, VBA will enter the date in the cell (in the form MMDDYY) and will position the insertion pointer at the end of the date. The user can then enter a four digit number following the MMDDYY. In this worksheet, Column A holds a transaction number, which is always in the form MMDDYYXXXX. I am trying to save the user the trouble of entering the MMDDYY, since it will always be today's date.
I am using a lot of double click routines in my sheet. In order for the sheet to be more user friendly I have used the comments of cells to tell the user what to do. For instance "Double click to choose type" or some such. Everything works great except that after the user selects what they want from the userform and it hides and the focus comes back to the sheet, the comment is in edit mode. While this is not horrible it is not as nice as I would like. I have tried to have my code send the active cell to another cell and then back, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the comments from going into edit mode?
I have Form Button in Excel Sheet which Calculates by reading other excel sheet. Now the problem is when user enters data in a Cell by double Clicking on it and after entering data if he directly clicks on a button then Macro that needs to be invoked is NOT executed. The only way is that he needs to press EnterKey OR Click on any other Cell and then click on the button.
I have users who don't press Enter (or move to a new cell) after entering text. They then try to click a form button - and of course - the macro does not run.
Is there an xl/vba solution to force them out of edit mode before clicking the button?
In an Excel worksheet all command buttons are disabled while a cell is in edit mode or while the cursor is active in the formula bar. Is there a way in VBA to save the cell's contents and execute a command button if clicked while a cell is in edit mode?
Sub AddContextMenu() On Error Resume Next Application. CommandBars("formula bar").FindControl(msoControlButton, 0, "MYMENU").Delete On Error Goto 0 Dim objTemp As CommandBarButton With Application.CommandBars("formula bar") Set objTemp = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , .Controls.Count + 1, True) With objTemp .Caption = "Formula Menu" .BeginGroup = True .OnAction = "TestMe" .Tag = "MYMENU" End With............
Is it possible to write code to paste a string in text select (double click in a cell) mode rather than cell select (single click a cell) mode? I need a string to paste in as if someone had double clicked then hit paste (so as to utilize special delimiters.) Here is the code that reads the workbook, finds the next available row, then pastes:
Dim strCopyToLog As String strCopyToLog = Range("Q2") Range("Q2").Select Selection.Copy Range("b1.b5000").Find("").Select ActiveCell.Value = strCopyToLog
I would like my custom menus to act like builtin menus - specifically I would like them to be disabled (grayed out or even entirely removed) when the application is in Cell Edit Mode (I cant believe I am the first to ask about this but I cant find the answer elsewhere).
It sure seems confusing to offer users access to a seemingly active command when it does not run (in edit mode I mean).
I send huge lumps of Karma to any willing to share ideas or solutions.
A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.
I am trying to position a userform to my own coordinates, but I don't see how to do this in any of the form properties. I do realize that there is a startUpPosition property but none of these positions work for me.
I have a macro that I would like to let a user edit the worksheet and make changes at a certain point. I have tried creating a modeless userform, but the userform only pops up and the code continues running without waiting for input (or running any of the code in the userform). Any way I can accomplish this or what I would be doing wrong with the userform?
I am working on a project of 4000+ entries. We will be identifying the number of seasons in a year. We would like to add a row in another worksheet for each of the seasons identified.
So say we had data in row 1 of worksheet 1. That row stated there were 3 seasons. Is there a way to automatically insert 3 rows into worksheet 2?
I have a Workbook with about 20 Worksheets, for each sheet I have a Selection Change Event that simply performs the Following:
MainSheet1. Range(“Z1”) = Now
1 Cell on every Sheet then is pointed to this cell via =Main!Z1. Problem is that when this is preformed Each Row from the Other In-Active Sheets and sometimes a near-by Button will Appear on my Active Sheet. I cannot select the parts of the sheets that appear and when I scroll down till they are out of view and then scroll back up they are gone until I select another cell and it happens again. I have tried in the Z1 cell to just put =NOW() and Make Calculations Manual and then with the selection change to call MainSheet1.Calculate or Workbook.Calculate but this has the very same effect and the other sheets bleed onto or ghost onto my Active Sheet. So far the only way I’ve been able to get around this is:
If Application. ScreenUpdating Then Application.ScreenUpdating = False MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now Application.ScreenUpdating = True Else MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now End If...............
I have a pivot table as shown below which is pretty straight forward however I am trying to create a macro that will automatically change the point name to match the point name in column E then copy that resulting dispaly to another sheet then pick the next point name in line and do the same thing and repeat for 50 rows, so my end result will be 50 pivot tables ready for printing. I can do this manually but I am trying to make it automatic...BTW the point names in column E change everyday but the pivot table supports the name changes.
Option Explicit Sub PointName() Dim Ws As Worksheet Dim Rng As Range, Cel As Range
Set Ws = ActiveSheet Set Rng = Range(Cells(2, 7), Cells(Rows.Count, 7).End(xlUp))
For Each Cel In Rng Ws.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Point Name").CurrentPage = Cel & " "
Ws.Columns("A:B").Copy Sheets.Add With ActiveSheet .Paste .Name = Trim(Cel) .Range("A1").Select End With Next Ws.Activate End Sub
I turned it off for a while and when I turned it back on I am getting an error Unable to set the _Default property of the PivotItem class
Debugger is highlighting
Ws.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Point Name").CurrentPage = Cel & " "
I'm doing the vba programming for excel where I added a button to the excel, and when user click on the button, it will trigger my function.
My question is: if currently there is a cell been focused, how can I know whether that is in the 'editing mode' (ie, focus on that cell and double click on that) or merely 'focus' on that cell? Any of the excel object property for this?
I have a spreadsheet with data in 4 different sections with a summary section at the top. Data titles are in column A with the data to the right, arranged by month.
I have created macros to sort the data in each section. Occasionally I need to add a new row to each section for a new data set. When I do this, it screws up my sorting macros for the sections below. It will sort the same rows that it sorted before, not taking into account that the data is now one row lower.
Q1. How can we insert new rows in a protected sheet?
For example: In the attached sample protected excel sheet "insert rows.xlsx" , if for Employee ID and Name fields, the user has more no. of records than provided, how can he insert new rows considering the fact that Company ID and Name field are locked.
Or any way to address this issue via some other method like adding a scrollbar,etc.
I have a need to insert formulas into a column using vba. I need to skip a row, when inserting the formulas, so a simple drag using vba would not work without some modification.
Here is the formula, that I need to insert... into column "BJ"
Example Cell BI11...=SUM(BH11-BH10)
Cell BI13...=SUM(BH13-BH12), the next cell needing a formula would be .. Cell BI15...
The formula would be inserted, based on the last row used in column "C".
I would like to prevent the user from inserting rows. I know that ater versions of Excel have built in "Protection" features which would easily accomplish this. Unfortunately, our company uses Excel 2000.
I have keyed in a constant value in cell B100 ("bottom" of the practical range). I have tried ...
Private Sub Worksheet _Change (ByVal Target As Excel.Range) MsgBox "Range" & Target.Address & "Was Changed." If Range ("B100").Value = "" Then Application.Undo MsgBox ("Do Not Insert or Delete Rows") EndIf End Sub.
The problem with the above is: The "Change" macro does not seem to detect the insertion of rows. It does, however, detect the deletion of rows.
click on cell A4 -right click - insert cell- shift to right, so figure 2 moves to C4 pushing the yellow cell to D4 right?
what am trying to do is to make column c to be frozen or locked or whatever you want to call it, so if I insert a cell in A4 shifting to the right, the value in B4 jumps to D4 without shifting the yellow cell
I've been using this code to make menus for all my Excel sheets since NateO made it back in 2003.
- The workbook has 370 sheets, 365 of them are one day per month with the tab named ddmmmyy. - The Main Menu in this file puts the months Jan, Feb, Mar, etc in cells A3:L3. - In the single cells under each month it put the month day tab name (ddmmmyy) and hyperlinks it to the sheet tab.
I would like to do two new things. 1. Put the name of the month in everyother cell in row 2, so Jan would be in A2, Feb in C2 and Mar in E2, etc. 2. Put the day of the week for each date in the cell to the right of the date. So the column heading would be Jan in A2, 01Jan08 in A3 and Tue in B3.
I thought I could make another macro and just insert the rows after the Main Menu was built and then VBA copy/paste TEXT(cell,"ddd") down the ranges, but thought there might be a better idea out there...
Sub Workbook_TOC() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim wsNw As Worksheet Dim z As Integer
Is it possible to make it so that a user cannot delete or add sheets to a work book, except through buttons assigned to macros? I've tried simply locking them, but these sheets need to be accessed to input and manipulate data. I have the macros necessary to delete/add sheets, but right now they are redundant since the user can simply do it manually.
I need to insert an arrow in a sheet, in a location and a direction which can be controlled by me (I don't mind hard coding the location and direction), based upon a cell value being positive, negitive or 0. I realise that it will require some code but can't find any infomation on doing anything like this through google or in the various VBA texts I own.
I have a command button that runs a macro to insert two new rows between row 15 and 16 no real problem (see code & sheet below), but I would like the Total Hours and Total Cost rows to include the newly added rows i.e.
Rows 16 & 17
Cell B18 now contains =B2+B4+B6+B8+B10+B12+B14+B16 and Cell B19 now contains =B3+B5+B7+B9+B11+B13+B15+B17
If another two rows are added then Total Hours and Total Cost Cells 20 & 21 will now be
Cell B20 now contains =B2+B4+B6+B8+B10+B12+B14+B16+B18 and Cell B21 now contains =B3+B5+B7+B9+B11+B13+B15+B17+B19
Command button Code to insert row
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Const fWhat As String = "EXTERNAL" Dim sR As Range, fR As Range, fAdr As String, nRw As Long Set sR = Range("A1:C187")
I'd like to insert a picture background for multiple s/ sheets I've developed, however, even though the images I'm using are only 30kb's in size, it bumps my s/sheet file size from 900kb's to over 4mb's ! Is there a way I can stop this from happening, or, any way to restrict the background image to only a certain part of the worksheet as opposed to the entire thing?
I need to insert text at the curson position in a text box on a VBA form. I know how to make the button not take the focus; I just need to know how to pass the cursor a timestamp.
I have a tracking sheet that is used to show where a specific project is within the lifecycle and would like to automatically set a summary value depending on the last data entry within a range of cells in a row and also set it to RAG status depending on the value.....
I need to make a cell display the contents of the cell immediately below it, regardless of if there are rows inserted at the referenced row or above or below it on the worksheet. ALSO I need to do this at several additional cell locations down the worksheet. Such as : A1 displays A2, A4 displays A5, A7 displays A8 etc.
Example: I want A1 to display whatever is in the cell immediately below it. In this case A2. I need to be able to insert several rows at row 2 and have whatever new value is now in the A2 position displayed in A1. After the rows are inserted I need the cell that was in position A4 to continue to display the contents of the cell below it.
I tried using the formula in A1 of: =INDIRECT("A2") and it works good except when I insert the rows my similar formulas below the area where the rows were inserted continue to refer to the specific original cell and not the one positioned now below it.
