Excel 2007 :: Macro Switching Formula Into RC Notation
Oct 17, 2011I have a series of macros I have built to automate some report manipulation at my office. One of the macros I built inserts formulas into specific columns. When I run this macro, all the formulas, save one, are populated perfectly into the column they need to be in. This particular formula is swiched over to R1C1 Reference Notation.
In the workbook I built the macro in, it inserts the formula in the correct notation. When I run the macro in a different workbook, this one formula is converted to RC Notation and then is displayed as text (since the workbook is not set to the R1C1 Reference style option).
Is there a bug in my VBA code? If so, how can I correct this?
I use Excel 2007. Macros are saved in my Personal.xlsb workbook. All other forumlas populated by the macro work correctly.
Excel 2003 :: Upgraded To 2007 And Worksheet Change Function Does Not Work
Oct 10, 2011I recently upgraded from Excel 2003 to 2007, and the worksheet change procedure that i have embedded in my worksheet no longer fires when the criteria are met. If and if I fix it to work in 2007, will it still work in 2003?
Here is my procedure:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngCell As Excel.Range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C19:R19")) Is Nothing Then
For Each rngCell In Intersect(Target, Range("C19:R19"))
If rngCell.Value = "BLACK" Then
MsgBox "Please select a shading style", , "Shading Style Required"
End If
Next rngCell
End If
End Sub
Retain 2003 Code In 2007 And Back To 2003
Aug 29, 2008I've created a workbook with code to email it to a reviewer then back to the originator when reviewed (along with other editing functions etc.). The problem - The originator is working in Excel 2003, the reviewer in 2007. The macros work great until the reviewer sends it back. I have not been able to figure out which FileFormat:= ???? to use when I SaveAs prior to emailing as an attachment. My Excel 2003 doesn't recognize the .xlsm file and other formats are eliminated the vba/macro coding

Jan 25, 2010I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal target As Excel.Range)
If target.Column = 1 Then
ThisRow = target.Row
startRow = 1

maxCol = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column

Uniquely Identify Cells In Excel Sheet Programmatically
Dec 19, 2013So I have a bunch of not so simple excel sheets in a Excel file. I'm trying to automate the testing of these (right now, I'm doing the testing manually).
To simplify, let's say there are two sheets - both of them have a cell called "Total" at the end, which is nothing much a total of some column. My test is to check if these two totals are the same. We don't know the number of rows before hand (it is coming from a database). The way I'm doing right now, is searching for the cell containing the text "Total" getting it's row and column, and adding 1 to the column, to get the cell that actually has the total value. Do this for both the sheets, and I have both values, and it's easy to compare now.
If someone changes the text from "Total" to "Totals" then this will fail.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to do this? Say, setting a unique parameter or something on the cell that actually has the total value, and using that unique parameter to search the cell?
2. Or is there a totally different (better) approach to this type of testing?
Excel 2010 :: Switching Sheets While Keeping Cell The Same
Feb 12, 2014I am using microsoft excel 2010. I currently have workbooks for various things with 46 worksheets in each one (each worksheet is a store). I usually go into the worksheets daily and dump numbers into each sheet. I was wondering if there was a way to switch worksheets but keep the cell the same when i switch to a different sheet to make it much easier to dump the numbers in.
For example: Say in worksheet1 i am in cell A34 to dump in a number. When i switch to worksheet2 i want to be in the same cell to dump the next number for the next store and so on and so forth for the next 44 sheets.
Upgrading 2003-2007
Apr 1, 2009I have some schedules set up with multiple formulas and macros (originally setup in 2003) however when attempting to make this a 2007 file when I go to copy a sheet to create another schedule I get the message “A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name “xx”, which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version of the name? To use the name as defined in the destination sheet, click yes. To rename the range referred to in the formula or worksheet, click no, and enter a new name in the Name Conflict dialog box.”

Jul 28, 2009I've been putting together an automated spreadsheet that has external data sources to SQL. I have been having some strange problems with it between versions of Excel. Unfortunately, the company's standard is 2003 but quite a lot of the company use 2007. I have been developing this report on 2007, the server that runs the automated version of the spreadsheet runs 2003 (and cannot be upgraded beyond 2003 as it is running Server 2000!).
The template opens fine on my 2007 machine and all development work has been run on my machine including the downloading of data. The VBA script runs something like

Conversion From 2003 To 2007
Sep 11, 2007My company used to have Excel 2003. I had a PivotTable in a worksheet that accessed data in another, completely different worksheet. When we converted to Excel 2007, I saved many of my Excel files from .xls to .xlsm. My PivotTable that once accessed data from another .xls file is still trying to access that same .xls file. What I want, though, is for it to access the new .xlsm file.

Worksheet Parser ( 2007 To 2003)
May 22, 2008I'm struggling constantly with the Excel 2007 I use, and the Excel 2003 that another group uses.
I'm dealing with large files; 200000 to 300000 rows often.
I wish there was a setting or way to automatically force excel 2007 to create a file in 2003 format.....meaning I want 260000 rows to automatically be divided up into 4 sheets limited to 65K each. 260001 rows would be put into 5 sheets, so that I could save it as an excel 2003 file.
Is there also a way to do this from access 2007 exported to excel?(I know that's an access question and probably outside the bounds of this board).

2003/2007 Problem With InStr, Replace, And Len
Feb 22, 2009I have run into a brick wall with InStr, Replace, and Len. I take the data from the active cell (formatted as text). I need to cleanup the data and do further massaging of it. In testing cleanup code, I get behavoirs and results I simply don't understand and can't figure out from hours searching forums many places.
The following simplified example commented code can be cut/pasted into a new spreadsheet module and should be self-explanatory. Example data is in the comments. Data is entered by multiple users and multiple sources. Therefore there is no control over the input quality so extraneous characters and multiple repeated periods and spaces can show up anywhere.
