Quickly Select Cells In Alternating Rows
Jul 21, 2009
I am interested in selecting cells in alternating rows as follows:
12 Red Happy
00 Unique descriptor
13 Grn Sad
03 Unique descriptor
14 Yel Happy
02 Unique descriptor
I am interested in selecting all the "12, 13, etc", "Red, Grn, ..." and "Happy, Sad..." for analysis, but want to skip all the rows containing the 0- numbers and the descriptors for them. How do I quickly select only the alternating cells in a column within a selection?

so I have been googling to figure out how to write a macro that will select every other column on my workbook. All that keeps coming up is conditional formatting, which I do not want. I am not trying to highlight the columns in alternating colors, I just want to select them.
I am starting at column F and I would like it to search until the end of the columns and select every other column ending with the last column with data in it.
I know I could search by a specific row and tell it to find the first blank cell then offset it, but there is no particular row that will always have data in it, so I guess it needs to check by column until it finds the first column without any data in all rows and then offset it.
Anyone know what I am talking about here?
I know it should be fairly simple but I couldn't seem to find any answers anywhere else.
Also, anyone know any good websites that have definitions for some basic macros? I'd love to start learning how to write this stuff on my own.

I was wondering, what would the macro be to colour alternating rows.
So I could select the range of rows, hit the macro - and it would colour them for me?
I need it to do alternating green / lightgreen. For one, but I need to do other colours afterwards as well. So what would the code be to do this?

My spreadsheet has rows with inspection numbers in column A, but there are varying numbers of rows associated with an inspection number. I'd like to change the color of the rows for every other inspection number to yellow using a formula. I think it has to involve an if/then statement but I can't figure out how to word the formula to just choose every other group of inspection numbers.
Example:
inspection numbers
date

Is there a way to shade alternating rows in a range and have it always be alternating no matter if a row is added in the middle of the range. If I do it manually now and add a row it messes up the shading and fixing it manually is very time consuming.

In column H I have dates from 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2013. What I would like to do is transfer that data to column J, but alternate it every other row and then insert the word Date into the blank cells. For instance J1 would read "Date" and then J2 would read 1/1/2008 J3 would be Date and J4 would be 1/2/2008. I have a large database and I tried to use array formulas and they slow it down to a crawl so I was working with DSUM, but I don't feel like wasting time with adding in Date manually.

I'm looking for a way to count groups of alternating rows of "TRUE" values across 3 columns. There will never be an occurrence of more than one "TRUE" value per row. In the sample below, alternating TRUE values occur in rows 4 through 7, so this would be counted with the groups of 4.
1Column 1Column 2Column 3
2FALSEFALSETRUE
3FALSEFALSETRUE
4FALSE TRUEFALSE
5 TRUEFALSEFALSE
6FALSE TRUEFALSE
7 TRUEFALSEFALSE
8FALSEFALSETRUE
9FALSEFALSETRUE
10FALSEFALSETRUE

I'm trying to use the following formula in conditional formatting in cell A2 when the range A2:AW64 is selected (this conditional
formatting will be copied to all cells in the selected range):
Formula is: =isodd($A2)
The error I keep getting is this:
"You may not use references to other worksheets or other workbooks for Conditional Formatting criteria."
I'm trying to use this conditional formatting because column A is our "Order" column. "Order" can be from 1 to 13 and this column
is sorted ascending. There can be multiple rows in each Order number. So I want to shade all 1's, 3's, 5's, etc... so that each
Order group has alternating shading.
I also want to use conditional formatting, not VBA, to get this to work. In the future, rows might be added to an Order number or two and I want the shading to automatically adjust.

If I have a spreadsheet with 52 weeks or 365 days worth of data on it, is there a way (without using the hide function) to display dates of a certain range? For example, I only want to see the data from week 30 - week 40. Is there some kind of macro out there that I could maybe enter start date and end date in to a 2 cells (start date & finish date) and it will automatically filter it for me?

how to add alternating cells when all are numbers, e.g. B8 to KW8 are all numbers and I want to add B8, D8, F8, etc. until KV8 and then separately add C8, E8, G8, etc until KW8. Is there a more efficient way to do this than =sum(b8,D8, etc)? I also need to do the same with =counta(b8, d8, etc).

I am looking for a way to highlight groups of identical number cells in alternating grey and white. My goal is to make it clear when there is a repeating set of numbers. Below is an example of what a completed state of this would look like that I created manually. The real form I will be using this code on will have long number which is why I am looking for this added clarification. I am using excel 2010.

So for example if I have a1, a5, and a6 selected, I want to be able to select row 1, 6, and 7 in one action. Is there a hotkey for this, and if not what macro could I use?
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select only gives me one row. I want to be able to select all of them at once.

I'm trying to create a macro that will allow the user to select a range of cells, (in column V in the attached sample), and then insert a new worksheet and copy the entire row where the user selected the cells to that worksheet.
For example: (I've deleted most of the data from the sample). The user want to create an order that has an exteded cube of 300 feet. By holding the "Ctrl" key down, they could pick and choose the parts they want to add, until the sum in Excel shows nearly 300.00 extended cube. They would then run the macro, which would copy only the rows which the user has selected in column V to the new worksheet.

I have some selected cells in column A, they are not consecutive. I would like to copy these values and then copy the same area but from a different column...
The code I have here is only working when I have a consecutive selection.
Code:
Set rng = Selection
fr = rng.Cells(1, 1).Row
lr = rng(rng.Count).Row
rng.Copy

I am building an excel folder with 200+ work sheets in it. there is a master sheet which i collect the rest of the data for the other sheets. My problem is, is that i want to be able to change the sheets quickly on the master sheet when i copy and paste or drag down. The formula that i am using in the cell on the master sheet is =SUMIF(sheet18!$B$4:$B$30,"rd1",sheet18!$E$4:$E$30)
Is there a way to quickly change the sheet from 18 to 19 to 20 and so on, or do i have to go into each formula and change it manual??

Any quick way of deleting all named ranges within a given workbook? I can loop over them, but it takes forever. (I've got about 20,000 names in total).
Turning the normal things off doesn't do much good either (e.g. auto-calculating, events, etc)

I have a single column with references on sheet 1, on sheet 2 I have a single named cell 'FormRef' which contents change (references). Active cell is in sheet one column A (column with references). If I use the FIND function dropdown and enter the '=FormRef ', Excel to quote "cannot find data".
Like a shortened version of vlookup I think. I want the active cell to go to the cell that has the contents of the single named cell in
sheet 2

I have a column (k) of 65,000 rows with numbers that are either positive or negative digits. The next column (L) has classified them as either 1 for positive number or 2 for negative.
There may be a run of all positive or all negative numbers or 2 positives and 3 negatives or any combination of positive and negative numbers reading down the column.
Reading down the column (from L1), I need to find any sequence of alternating 1 positive, followed by 1 negative or vice versa.
I am looking for evidence to find any sequence that has more than 2 alternations. (Remembering that positive is 1 and neg is 2)
That is, two or more alternations of a positive followed by a negative or neg followed by a positive.
eg
1
2
1
2
or
2
1

Is there a way to quickly format a cell so that it acts as though it is just a number and can still be used in a formula but also have a label? For instance I would like to be able to type in "10cm" and have the cell equal 10 and have it formatted to "General cm".
I realize that this is possible with the cell formatting menu, and can be applied to lots of cells at once, my question is can this be done somehow by just typing into the cell so that I can enter lots of cells that may have different labels without having to go into the cell format menu for each one.

I've built a simple inventory tracking system, and decided a reporting feature would be nice. There are four categories that are entered when inventory is removed...Date, Employee Name, Item Description, Location, and quantity.
Four my reporting purposes I'm only concerned with Date, Employee name and Item Description.
I've been able to write code that does what I want using a multiple Cases and a For loop once the case is identified. However, the more data there is the longer this takes...so I decided to stretch myself and try my hand at arrays (first time really working with arrays), but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need to do.
Here is what I think the steps need to be.
1. Store my data (the categories above) which are located in the Check Out sheet
2. Go through the arrayed data to find exact matches based on my search criteria (here is where the Cases come in)
3. Pull out only that data and write the information to a "Report" Sheet
4. Export that sheet to PDF (this part I already have)
Below is a copy of what my current "working" code looks like (I should mention that the search selections are made from a userform this is what the Cases are deciphering between which ones are blank etc...), also most of my variables are instantiated as Public variables within a Public_Variables module also below.
[Code] ....
And the Public Variables...

When I type an 11 into my textbox (in my userform), I believe that the moment I type the first 1, the "event" kicks in. Is there anyway that I can have the change even "wait" until I am finished typing in all the digits of my number?
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Dim prime As Integer, divisor As Integer, currentcol As Integer
Dim faccount As Integer, currentresidue As Long, currentfactor As Long
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
prime = TextBox1.Value
TextBox2.Value = prime - 1
'Write divisors across and phi of the divisors across at the bottom
Spreadsheet1.Range("c2").Value = 1

I want to clear the range A10:IV65536 or all the cells containning numbers under the row A10.
Right now it takes for ever to clear it mannually because excel recalculates everything... i have over 100 000 data and id like to find a way to delete them quickly.
Is there a way to clear a range without excel recalculating everything???
If not the best way i think would be to clear the last columns first all the way to the first columns.

I am using Excel 2003 to run a workbook that contains 60 separate worksheets. To make it easier for the techs to navigate the workbook I created a block of 60 autoshapes, (5 blocks high x 12 blocks long) each block hyperlinked to each worksheet and labeled with the worksheet name. I then placed one of these blocks at the top of every worksheet. A tech can click on the block and it takes him right to the page he is looking for, pretty straight forward. It works very well, but as you can guess this is a lot of autoshapes to be stuck in one workbook (3600) and whenever you make major changes to the workbook than the blocks become a factor, and if you resize the columns or add one, or change a worksheet name... I thought about just creating 60 custom buttons and sticking them on a custom tool bar - but I found trying to create a button with a number on it like "34" (for "worksheet 34") was pretty tough in the button editor.
way to create a set of hyperlink buttons that will allow you to quickly navigate through 60 worksheets?

I'm writing a macro that’s taking user input (from a form I developed) and will generate a chart according to the input.
One requirement for this chart is that the background alternates fill colors between gray and white. Every four columns need to be either gray or white. Based on the duration the user entered, the width of this chart is created. The length (the number of rows) is constant.
I've tried different loops (for, if, do - you name it I tried) This loop is just out of my league. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Summary of Facts:
- Starting Point of Chart is B2 (the top left corner of the chart will be in B2)
- the number of columns is dynamic (based on user input)
- The rows are constant are (2 through 16)
- Every four columns need the fill color to be either gray or white

I have formula that looks for information from another sheet (sheet name "ValidationLists")in Column A (list "billto") and returns all the occurances in my current worksheet (including the 10 columns next in the array). What it looks for is based on whatever value is currenty in Cell A2.
Example of formula is as follows:
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,ROW(billto)),
ROW(1:1))-1,1)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(1:1))-1,1))}
Basically I want to return everything that matches cell A2 of my current sheet from sheet list "billto" in a different sheet but I need the adjacent cells as well. So one cell below this would read the following (Just the Row Changes):
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(2:2))-1,1)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(2:2))-1,1))}
And the column B next to the original formula reads the following (just returning one more column from the array):
{=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,ROW(billto)),
ROW(1:1))-1,2)),"",INDEX(ValidationLists!$A$2:$J$300,SMALL(IF(billto=$A$2,
ROW(billto)),ROW(1:1))-1,2))}
It is working exactly how I want it to. The problem is it is taking 2-3 minutes. I can just get a list of rows with the value in A2 from List "billto" very quickly but then how do I get the entire row to appear in my current sheet quickly?
