see the attached "sample.xls". In cell "D1", after I typed in some text and pressed enter, the cell format changed. It only happened for texts not for numbers. There's no macro or conditional format that I could find.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Excel 2010. Is there any solution which cover requirements given below.
1) I've converted a range in to table format (using Format as Table)
2) Need to Prevent pasting on data validation cell.
3) Need to Prevent change in cell format after pasting data (other than data validation cells as mentioned above) from same workbook or other workbook
4) Need to insert row in the table as per requirement.
I have been struggling with my Excel 07 Date format. Nearly every time I perform a calculation, enter in a value etc in a spreadsheet my answer is returned as a date. So for example if I enter in a cell: = 5 - 4. I get the answer "1-Jan-1900" instead of 1. I have to manually set the formats to general or number if I want the correct format. The setting seems to be the default one and occurs for all workbooks I open. What can I do to change this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some data which I need to replicate, the data is as follows:-
Club : Name : Competition : Division : labels per round : number of rounds
this is in the six columns as above and, perhaps, 900 rows.
What I need to do is to read each record in turn and replicate it by
a: the number of "labels per round" then
b: the number of rounds, incrementing the round number from 1 to 10 in the process.
This would be written to another worksheet.
I have tried to come up with some VBA to do this, but even this simple task would appear to be beyond me in the timescale I have to get it sorted. how to code this or point me to where I can find this out?
I got a workbook containing a worksheet called APheb1.
I would like to create a macro that would replicate this worksheet and rename it APheb2, APheb3 etc... till a number i specify. For example if i specify 90, then it would replicate APheb1 90 times till APheb90.
I have recorded a macro that replicates the file but i cannot find a solution for the renaming part.
I have this excel template which i am working on and its a bit kind of complex linking several sheets together.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to disable the Convert button on the File menu and also to limit the Save As file types? I have a workbook that I maintain in Office 2003 that gets filled out by customers and returned. When a user with a newer version of Excel converts the file, it doesn't function properly when I go open it. I believe the conversion issue has to do with Active X Controls, but I'm using them to do some things that won't work with Forms Controls, so replacing them would be a last resort. Also, upgrading Office isn't an option at this point.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe following block of code is evaluating the term in the array, if it exists and the value in col. M is a non integer, (which what I am testing for are fractions) then format the cell to a fraction number format.
That is ok, except it is changing the numberformat on text terms. I want it only to change the numberformat on numeric values.
I added the function Isnumeric to this line:
Isnumeric(cells(i, "M").value) Int(cells(i, "M").value)
which I thought would only evaluate numeric cells only, but this was unsuccessful.
Original Code: Unedited.
For i = 4 To LRowf
For Each Item In Array("HAT", "FTWR", "BOOT", "BOOTG", "BOOTY", "HWRISR", "HWBLTS")

i have a challenge i need to prevent the value is more than A1 cell value in B1.
Example: if A1 value is 10 then unable to enter morethan 10 in B1 cell.
I want to allow users to select a cell in a column, but not allow them to change the contents of the cell. Also, don't want to allow them to select all the cells on the sheet.
I'm guessing that I need to use the Change event, and restore the contents back to what they were before the change.
Is there a better way to do this?
Am trying to create a simple spreadsheet with some multiplication functions on it. Using this example:
Cell A1 = 5 (multiplicand) x
Cell A2 = 10 (multiplier) =
Cell A3 = 50 (product)
All is well providing I have a number value in cells A1 and A2. When I don't, I would like them to remain blank, as well as A3, the product. The problem I face is when I remove the values in either A1 or A2, what's displayed in A3 turns to the word - #VALUE!. Which also shows up on the printed page.
My question is, like removing the checkmark for "zero values" under tools and options to prevent the "0"'s from being displayed, is there a way of preventing the word "#VALUE!" from being displayed when the values for the multiplicand and/or multiplier have been removed?
How can you prevent a cell which contains a validation list from being dragged?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with multiple entry boxes in a row. Depending on the value in one row, another row will either yield the result from a formula, or remain blank, and this cell needs to be locked. I was able to do this by first putting the formula into the destination cell, and then using custom data validation that says the cell value = "". So this prevents anyone from typing in that cell, no matter if it yields the formula result or must stay blank. What it doesn't protect against is someone deleting the contents of the cell. The reason I don't want to protect the cell is because I want people to be able to highlight the whole row past that cell and delete it all at once. So either using Data Validation, a formula, or VB programming I need to not allow someone to do ANYTHING to that cell, even delete the contents, without locking the cell. Hopefully it can be done, thanks!
For example, if E17 = "X", then K17 = INPUT!$M$28*J17. If E17 <> "X" then K17 is blank. Either way, I don't want any typing or deleting of K17. This applies for range K17:K91, and corresponding E17:E91.
If A1 = "Yes"
Then don't allow input into cells B1 and C1. Or delete anything in B1 and C1 perhaps?
Cell A1 would be the result of a formula
How would I go about creating something like the above?
how can I prevent an entry in a cell even without formula lets say cells B1 , C1 , D 1 , E1
I want to prevent an entry in these cell and if you try an error message will display
How can I stop the overlapping cells?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.
So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3
If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)
If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"
I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.
I would like to write a macro that performs the following function:
I have a value in cell A1
In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"
I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.
I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.
I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If
End Sub
When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.
I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2. I added some conditional formatting that colors certain cells red if others are blank on Sheet1. I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

I'm creating a maths workbook in Excel. I want the user to workout the answer in his/her head and enter the answer into Excel. The only problem is, of course, that there is nothing stopping a user from simply typing a formula to obtain the answer! I have tried all data validation, apart from Custom which I can't figure out. Is there a way to prevent a user entering a formula on a worksheet?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to solve above problem using Data Validation formula. Data validation does not work if somebody copy paste the duplicate values,it works when somebody types duplicate values in next column. So if I want to enter lot of urls to a column then it is completely impossible to type so must have to copy paste from the browser. I have attached a sample sheet, howl to solve this problem either using formula or using Data validation in sample 1 and sample 2 respectively.

2. The same formula as above but this one also needs a 50 character limit added to the criteria.
