I'm the final stages of testing a userform that, in response to a button click, copies certain cells from a big messy worksheet and pastes the relevant ones (based on user input) in a clean sheet. Suddenly, I started getting a 'divide by zero' error for the following line:
VB : UpCount = PickNum - 6 + ((PickNum / 12))
UpCount and PickNum are both declared as Double, though this shouldn't matter. UpCount is being assigned a value here for the first time, and PickNum varies from 1 to about 250 depending on input.
Obviously I'm only dividing by a constant here, which is VISIBLY not zero. This error only occurs for certain ranges of PickNum...something like 50-70. Interestingly, in trying to debug it, I added:
VB:
Msgbox(PickNum)
Msgbox(54/12)
...since PickNum was 54 as I was getting this error. Just dividing 54 by 12 ALSO got a div by zero error.
Perhaps I should mention I'm using VBA in Excel 2010 for Mac.
Is there any way that the #N/A can be turned off or hidden and the cell left blank?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have conditional formatting on a cell based on a formula, when I entered the solution of "if then 0 " but the cell doesn't see the result as a 0, if I manually enter the 0 the conditional format works.
I even tried putting the formula in another cell and then referencing to that cell, still didn't work...
The "divide by zero error won't trigger the conditional either......

I am creating a 'weekly average spreadsheet' (Excel 2007) for a teacher. It has a column for each student's name and his test grade for each day (M-F). The last column gives his weekly average.
She also needs an average for all the students' for the week (vertically). My formula is correct, i.e., =AVERAGE(H2:H11). However, I'm getting a divide by zero error because I have some blank rows above my formula (so she can add new students' names as they come.
How can I get rid of the divide by zero error so she can see the running averages as she inputs grades (but still leaving empty rows for new names)?
I have a database that requires me to find the average of some data over several columns, however if one of the values I have to divide by is a zero I get a 'Can't Divide By Zero Error' is there any way to override this ? So that if a Divide by Zero Occurs, instead of returning a 'Can't Divide By Zero Error' it just replaces it with a Zero instead ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have many excel sheets with 1000 columns and 100,000 rows. I have to import these sheets into SAS system which wont let me import more than 250 columns per sheet (it misses the remaining columns, though rows it can import all of them). So, one solution is break each such sheets into 4 individual sheets. Ofcourse I can manually take the cursor to 250th column and copy/paste that data into another sheet and so on. But this is cumbersome and also means there is chance of mistake.
Is there a way I can divide the sheets into 4 sheets separately with each sheet having equal number of columns? Another thing I need to do is that on the top row there are company codes -most of them start with a letter which is fine. There are few which start with a number and I have to add a dummy letter x before the number. Now since there are 1000 columns, I have to scan the top row of all 1000 columns to find number codes which are scattered unevenly. So I was wondering if there is a way to tell excel to change all such number codes with extra x behind each number?

I've generated a sheet where, based on the total run hours of a generator set using a given fuel type, we can determine which engine to run on what fuel when. The problem I've run into is that if more than one engine has the same runtime, the chart returns just the lowest numbered engine and eliminates the remaining engine(s). What I'm trying to do is make it so that when this occurs, the suggested engines show up in numerical order. For example instead of 1, 1, and 1 showing up on the chart, something like 1, 2, and 5 will show when they all have 0 run hours. I've attached my chart below with some engines having the same runtimes. RunOrder.xlsx

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")

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.
I have an Excel 2007 file that is a work of art. Users manually copy several rows and columns from a table on a web page and paste it into my Excel file. This turns my beautiful Rembrandt into a Jackson Pollack mess. The formating of my cells is replaced with the formating from the web page. Is it possible to make the Excel file ignore the formatting of the data being copied? As a default?

I am using Excel to maintain a database for a computer game I'm playing. One of the things I'm using it for is to keep track of wages that I'm paying in the game. I do this by keeping the total potential wages in one column. As I only pay an employee when I use him, I then copy the wages over to the next column, where the total actual wages per event is calculated. However, when I copy the value from one column to the next (using the lack cross on the bottom right corner of the cell to drag it to the next) the value sometimes increases by one each time.
This isn't a major annoyance, but I'd like to find a way to prevent it happening at all. Does anyone know how to stop the increase?

A related issue that I experience is that sometimes when I copy or input a value in these columns, it brings up an error message saying "Number Entered As Text". Is there any way I can prevent this? Both these issues occur apparently regardless of formatting, and only on some of the cells, so I don't know quite why there's any problem at all.
How can I protect individual cells in a range from being deleted when I want to delete data from the surrounding cells??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a userform in my excel document that will allow the user to select (perhaps from a combo box) and delete a sheet they want. More sheets will be added and so the combo box or whatever should be able to reflect this. It should prevent them from deleting sheets I specify in the code as well. I've had a quick go doing this myself but I decided to start again as I had soo many problems. I think I just did it in a very long-winded fashion, so I would be interested to see what people come up with.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with a Change Event and a Selection Change Event.
When a cell is changed first the Change Event triggers and after that the Selection Change Event Triggers.
I have implemented a solution whereby I set Application.EnableEvents = False so that the 2nd Selection Change Event does not trigger.
However, the problem is that I need to turn EnableEvents back to True so that it can continue monitoring for events.
Is there a way to either only allow 1 event to trigger? Or is there a way to turn the Events back on after a pause of a 1 second or so?
So I have this table... At the bottom of the table the Outer Fences. There is a column at the end of the table that calculates if the value in the row is outside the fences. I tried to do this by using the cell (say, H1500) in the if statement, but as I continued down the column I noticed that row 2 used H1500, row 3 used H1501, row 4 used H1502, and so on. So I have been just entering the new fence numbers as the data changes. Is there a way to go into the if statement and somehow "lock" the cell value so it doesn't change?
