I have 2 sheets, List 1 and List 2 Both lists contain generic part numbers in column A, so because there could be 2 manfacturers of the same part there will be duplication of the generic part number.
What I want is to prevent someone entering a generic part number in list 1, which already exists on list 2.
I there any cde which can be put in the sheet which will show an error message for this?
How do i stop my combobox from displaying duplicate entries?
See Sort & Remove Duplicates From ListBox
How do I keep the same names from coming up on the same column when randomly generated there (I hit f9 and names randomly generate on my sheet)? I'm trying to integrate this fix into =IF(Override!G5>0, Override!G5, Shuffle!A34) formula. That formula is the formula that recieves the randomly generated names into the cells I have chosen. The override is so I can do just that if I dont like the generation of names.
example:
name 1
name 2
name 3
name 1 <---if that happens I want this cell to respond by reshuffling until it equals a name that is not in its column, but just that one cell, not the others.
I am trying to prevent/remove duplicates and blank rows from occuring in a spreadsheet which is being populated via a Userform. The user must be able to add items to the spreadsheet during the normal course of work, so I guess that the blank line removal should occur when they exit the module or application.
However, duplicate prevention is particularly important as the data being captured pertains to products. Column A of the spreadsheet contains the product code and that will be the "watch" column. I have tried various options, particularly for removing blank rows and have so far have not had success.
Something that I have noticed is that when a new item is 'added' to the spreadsheet and the job is either cancelled or not saved, that a simple resize of the range through a recount of the rows to the first one empty does not remove the blank lines which is interesting too.
The following attacted program is a name generator. It randomly generates names from the Roster sheet to the shuffle sheet (to be randomized) then displays it on the watchbill sheet. The problem I'm having is that the names seem to be repeating themselves before the entire list is used at least once from the roster sheet. I need all the names to generate at least once then have it fairly repeat the names (but not in the same columns on the watchbill sheet). Can this be done using the formulas I have? I've been trying to figure this out forever, its just a little beyond my level.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAs many are aware, there is an option to make a sheet very hidden. However, a "very hidden" sheet remains visible in the VBE project window. A user with basic VBA knowledge can easily selected the hidden sheet & go in the property window and change its visibility setting to "-1 Sheetvisible". Is there any way to make hidden sheet invisible in VBE as well?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRegarding the age old problem of trying to ensure macros are enabled in a workbook, using the process of hiding all sheets bar one:
Automatically Close Workbook If Macros Are Disabled
Reafid inserts some excellent code so that worksheets are hidden BOTH before closing AND on a normal Save event (I have also attached Reafid's zip file with the workbook that includes his/her code).
Having done much searching it seems to be the best solution out there, however I can still break it fairly easily and I'm worndering if anybody can stop me doing the following to break it:
Open the file in its restricted state (i.e. only Warning tab shown, all other sheets very hidden) and NOT enabling macros on opening. I'm therefore at the position Reafid intended; macros are disabled so all sheets are very hidden. Then to break it, in my personal macro workbook I have a simple macro that unhides all worksheets in ThisWorkbook, I run that personal macro and everything in Reafid's file is unhidden.
Reafid's file therefore has been opened with macros DISABLED and now all worksheets are visible.
I've got a workbook that I'm currently designing and I've just realised that I need to delete a few sheets, paste in some new template sheets and rename them. The problem is, I've already completed my summary sheets and I don't want to have to redo the values. Essentially, I just want to (temporarily) turn off auto-updating of formulas when cells / sheets are changed/moved/deleted.
For practical purposes: I need to delete the sheet named "Jan", paste in a new sheet "MonthTemp", rename "MonthTemp" to "Jan" and have all my formulas not updated (e.g. still referencing "Jan" instead of "#REF!")
Is there a way of getting excel to highlight duplicates within 2 separate sheets, one beside the other on screen?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 2 sheets. What I want is:
1. Cells in column A, Sheet 2 are compared with the Cells in column A, Sheet 1.
2. Sheet 3 is produced containing all the rows in Sheet 2 for which there is no duplicate cell in Column A, Sheet 1.
3. The rows copied from Sheet 2 to Sheet 3 are highlighted on Sheet 2. Attached is a workbook with 3 sheets. Sheet 3 is the desired result (+ the cell highlighting on non-duplicates on Sheet 2).
I have two spreadsheet in which I am looking for duplicate customer names.
1st - "Customers"
2nd - "Orders"
In column A of my Customers spreadsheet I have the following formula
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(E2,Orders$D2:D1000,0))=FALSE, "Y","N"). This allows me to see if a name in my Customer spreadsheet (column E is a field of names) is also in my Orders spreadsheet (column D is a field of names). My end results is either a Y indicating a duplicate or a N for no duplicates.
What I am looking to do next is to place in column B of my Customers spreadsheet the date that coincides with the duplicating customer name. Sorry to be confusing. If a customers name is found in the Orders spreadsheet I need to know what date has been given to this customer (column L in the Orders spreadsheet contains the date information).
However, on numerous occasions a customers name is found in the Orders spreadsheet more than once meaning there may be more than one date which needs to be placed in column B of my Customers spreadsheet.
Conditional formatting duplicates across multiple sheets. I have been using the formula
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 13 sheets of data in my open workbook. Column D, which includes blank cells at times, across each of these sheets maps the same info. of orders. However, I know there are several duplicates, and I want to clean them out. I am trying to figure out a way to highlight all the duplicates that appear only in column D beginning with sheet 4 and ending with sheet 13. I will leave the duplicates that appear on Sheets 5-13 alone, but I want to have them highlighted, so I can review the ones that appear on sheet 4 first, and then delete them.

I need a macro to compare the values in column b across 2 sheets and output the rows that do not have duplicate values in column b to a third sheet?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).
I have a list of isometric drawing numbers ending with a [underscore]weld number e.g. 1692-SG-0040-04_05.
Some welds are repaired--in that scenario the amended weld number will be 1692-SG-0040-04_05R1, and even 1692-SG-0040-04_05R2 if repaired for a second time.
On occasion a weld may be cut out entirely and a new weld done. The weld number for that will be 6317-FG-1690-02_06C1.
And here's a wrinkle I've just verified...a cut weld may also be repaired so the weld number will look like 1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1.
Is there a formula to count these as one weld:
1692-SG-0040-04_05
1692-SG-0040-04_05R1
1692-SG-0040-04_05R2
This as one weld:
6317-FG-1690-02_06
6317-FG-1690-02_06C1
6317-FG-1690-02_06C2
...and this as one weld:
1698-SG-0077-01_04
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1
I am having trouble creating a function to count duplicates of duplicates.
An example of the data table 1 is:
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 New
Product 1 New
Product 1 Flt
Product 2 2nd
Product 2 New
Product 2 New
Product 2 Flt
Product 2 Flt
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 New
Product 3 Flt
I created a new table (table 2) and made a list of all the Products on table 1 and removed the duplicates. I now have 3 columns with titles New, 2nd and Flt as follows:
New 2nd Flt
Product 1 XX XX XX
Product 2 XX XX XX
Product 3 XX XX XX
I am trying to count the duplicates for each product (XX), but I can't seem to work it out. I've tried the MS help function, but unsure of the actual formula I need to be using.

I am trying to write a VBA code that prevents the user from deleting row 8.
I do not want to use the sheet protection with password approach.
I simply want a code that prevents the user from deleting row 8 and notifies him via MSGBOX that such action is prohibited.
When user presses "ESC" key on an open userform, data he has changed in controls (simple textbox for example) gets resetted. Right? I'm seeing such behavior in Excel 2003. How about other versions?
I'd like to see some documentation about what exactly is going on, and how to prevent such unexpected feature (that forces data loss), but could not find.
I mean that i have no commandbutton with cancel=true. By default I want to keep the data user has entered/changed. Unfortunately this data reset finds place before any trappable event, or am i wrong?
I have not found any working way to capture keypresses on userform level. Userform has _KeyPress and other events, but those are not firing? If there is one, that would be helpful. Perhaps even on system level with some APIs? Altough that sounds way too complicated for a problem that should need only one little-known flag set. Perhaps there is such property somewhere?
I made up a small subprocedure that searches through a large list of zipcodes (These zipcodes are in a separate sheet). Whenever I execute my subprocedure in another sheet, it jumps to the zipcode sheet and then goes back to where I originally executed the subprocedure.

am trying to create a workbook template which collects data from users with user forms and some macros.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 workbooks open. In the workbook that I am working in I run a macro from a userform to copy a worksheet from the other workbook that is idle in the back ground. I also display another user form that says "please wait" while the macro is running.
The problem I have is even though screen updating is set to false the screen switches over to the other workbook while it is copying the desired sheet and switches back to the workbook I am copying to after the macro completes. Also the "Please Wait" userform disappears while the other workbook is displayed and reappears when the initial workbook returns.
Below is my code which works without issue but perhaps there's a better way to copy between workbooks that would prevent the screen changes?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI use a few Functions in my VBA code. All these functions, are declared as "Public", and reside in a single module. However, they are called from many different modules during code execution. (i.e. many functions called from many modules - hence the "Public" declaration).
My issue is that in addition to being available to different VBA Modules, these Functions are also available on the worksheet as a UDF (so if a user presses "=" in the formula bar, the auto-complete shows these functions when the first characters match). Is there a way to remove the availability of the function on user worksheet? i.e. to allow a Function to be called from different modules in VBA, but prevent it from being available on the worksheet.
My current work-around is to prefix all Public Function names with letter "j" - as no excel formula seems to begin with it - none of them show up as auto-complete options. Nevertheless, the Functions are still available to the user - which is what I would like to prevent.
Is it possible to prevent a particular sheet from being deleted?
I have a workbook that contains sheets (of course). One of the sheets

Is there anyway to turn off hyperlink. Everytime I put in an @ symbol in the cell and hit enter, it changes it to a hyperlink and changes the font and size. Is there anyway to turn this off or prevent this without having to click on the cell everytime and choose, remove hyperlink.
