How do i preventing drawing objects from being modified/ deleted/added on an excel worksheet? edit: but i want people to be able to interact with them i.e. people shud be able to enter text into textboxes.
View 4 RepliesI want to use VBA to update a drawing object's color, such as a circle.
For example, pretend I am counting sheep and I need to know when I have reached the maximum count by the visual aide of a stoplight. The script in my head reads: If the max. count of the sheep is less than 5, then the stoplight is green. If the max. count of the sheep is equal to 5, then the stoplight is yellow. If the max. count of the sheep is greater than 5, then the stoplight is red.
Is there a way to do such a thing on excel and with VBA?
I'm looking to write two small macros that will either hide or show all lines, freeform lines, and autoshapes on a page. In my extreme competence, I determined a for/next loop would be appropriate... but other than that, I can't figure out where to start.

I can add shapes and position them but what I want to do is to insert connectors between existing shapes (I can draw two shapes and a connector at the same time but what I want to do is add a new node and then work out which existing nodes it links to and draw the lines)
Code:
Function AddConnectorBetweenShapes(ConnectorType As MsoConnectorType, _
oBeginShape As Shape, oEndShape As Shape) As Shape
'The ConnectorType can be one of three constants - msoConnectorCurve, msoConnectorElbow, or msoConnectorStraight.

So I'm creating a grid worksheet for engineering calculations and I have a couple questions about the best way to do it. I've been messing with excel for my calcs for about a decade now, and I every once in a while I try and improve them.
First: I will have several input areas that will either be colored text or shaded background (either works for me). I don't want these 'input required' objects to print as color, just black. But I want my logo at the sheet top to print as color. I've only found ways to not print any color. Can I print the logo as color and the 'input required' stuff as black?
Second: When I do calcs by hand, I write them out on 10x10 grid paper. Each 10x10 grid is one inch. In the past I've created this grid out of the cells, which works. I frequently need to change formulas around though, and each time I do this, I end up needing to mess with the grid cells also. Is there a way to create the grid and have it in the background so it doesn't need to be adjusted each time I change formulas? I wan't the grids to print, and also want to see them on the screen, as I sometimes draw simple objects along with the formulas.
I've recently got a new computer and this problem is driving me nuts.
When I click view!toolbars!drawing, nothing happens. No drawing toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen where it used to be. There's a small "drawing toolbar" icon on the main toolbar, but whether this is depressed or not makes no difference either.
I understand this may be changed in the 2007 version, but I’m using Excel 2000
I want to have 2 cells where I can enter 2 numbers (length & height) so that a grid can be plotted. For example, a big sheet of paper size is length 30" x height 8", if first number is 10" (length) is entered, it will plot 3 lines across 30" (cos 30" divided by 10" equals to 3) and if I enter 2" (height) on 8", it will then cut it into 4".

View 14 Replies View RelatedIn my attached sheet I've to find out final result in Column "F" (green shaded). My boss many times a year increases salary by certain percentage (say 30% or 40%) which is given in "E" column. After that I need to adjust it according to Pay Scale given in right side. For example one Executive's salary reaches 19880 after % increase. Now in pay scale we see in executive (row no. 13) it crosses 19800 so his final salary should be next upper value i.e 20600 (if it reached to 20700 after % increase, then his final salary could be 21400). That is final salary should be multiple of designation's increment plus minimum gross salary (Here 800X10=8000+11800=19800, since it exceed by 800, so salary should be 800X11=8800+11800=20600)
So we can either pull data from right side table or we can give formula in "F" column to get the required result.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on a huge amount of data and want to analyse that data through charts because charts are quick representation of the data and save a lot of time. I got some code from my friend, to read each row in a worksheet and plotted the corresponding chart on the new worksheet each time i.e., each row has one chart which is plotted on new worksheet each time.
But I don't want it to plot the chart on the new worksheet. I want it to plot the chart on the same worksheet. In my case there are always more than 30 rows, so it should draw 30 charts on the same worksheet in which 30 rows are written.
Here is the code which plots charts on the multiple sheets
Code:
Sub LineCharts()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim NewWs As Worksheet
Dim cht As Chart
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim CurrRow As Long
Set Ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet3")
LastRow = Ws.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a "board game" type game in excel and one of the functions will be landing on a cell.

I can definitely make changes if this isn't possible but the point of it is to show the contents of one of the random cards.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't find anywhere where there may be some VB code to allow text within a cell in Excel to be circled. I don't want drawing objects, because many times I need to modify 30-40 sheets at one time and Excel doesn't allow you to alter drawing objects when you have multiple sheets selected. Therefore, I just want to be able to apply a circle around some text in a cell the same way you would underline it, for example. I figured my only hope is VBScript?
