i have a worksheet which is a form which feeds into another worksheet which acts as a database. i have a button which clears the form based on code which is essentially "clear contents".
the problem is i have a few cells where i would like to retain the formulas. i tried to do this with custom in validation but this did not work. i also tried to enter the code directly into the worksheet but this didnt work either (my skills are limited..). i am avoiding using protect sheet bc that in turn will affect many of my other buttons. is there something i am overlooking?
I have a macro that runs with worksheet_change if I delete a cell. It does not run if I just clear contents. Is it possible to have the macro run when I clear contents of a cell?
I’m working on a macro to clear the contents of all the cells in a certain area of the worksheet that are not locked and do not contain a hyperlink.
(C7 is the first data-entry cell; EndPage1 is a specific cell near the bottom right of the sheet that sets the outside range of the cells to be cleared. This is the code so far:
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I have a worksheet in which column A:C contains slno,name etc. Col D contains numerical data.D4:D5 is col heading. D6:D41 contains numerical data. I want to copy the data from D6:D37 only. for this i tried the following but with negative result.
1.select cell D5. 2.press F5 and enter -to goto cell D37. 3. press control and shift and up arrow to select the upper cells. Excel selects from D37 to D4 whereas i want it to be from D37:D6.selecting D6 and then press control shift and enter keys takes me to the last cell with the data in the column, ie,D41.
How can I select only the required cells so that i can copy the content.selecting the first cell and then dragging the cross is not an expected answer to solve this.
I'm trying to use the Worksheet_Change event to replace all cleared cells with a default formula. This allows users to override the default, or restore the default when they need to:
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("Data")) Is Nothing And Target.Value = "" Then Range("DefaultFormula").Copy ActiveSheet.Paste ActiveSheet.Application.CutCopyMode = False End If
Here are the results with various different regions selected:
Single cell selected and cleared -- works. Multiple cells selected and cleared -- doesn't work if the first area selected contains more than one cell. Otherwise, it works, no matter how many other areas are selected.
Example1: Selected range is (D2:E2, G2) in that order, it does not copy the formula into the cleared cells. Example2: Selected range is (G2, D2:E2) in that order, the code does copy the formula into all the cleared cells as desired.
The "IF" condition is not TRUE when the initial area has more than one cell.
I've run into a problem detecting empty cells. I'd like to search down a column of numbers and count the cells that contain numbers and ignore the cells that are empty. If the cells were made empty of their data by manually using the delete key before hand then my macro works fine. The problem is if the cells were manually made empty using the space bar to clear their contents.. then the macro seems unable to detect them as empty.
I have tried "", IsEmpty, and a few other things and nothing detects the cell as empty unless the delete key is used rather than the space bar. For this macro I really need the user to be able to clear values beforehand using the space bar, and to have those cleared cells be detected as empty cells.
creating an equation that could essentially vlookup off multiple columns.
I get a report once a week with a list of employee ID numbers. I have a separate spreadsheet with employee names, ID 1, ID 2, ID 3, ID 4, in columns A,B,C,D,E , respectively.
I am trying to put a forumla in the report where it will take the employee ID number and reference it to my separate spreadsheet and give me back a name if it matches any of the 4 IDs that pertain to that employee.
I've tried index/match but I believe match only looks at one column.
The problem that I am having today is defining a range object that cannot include null cells. If it does include Null cells then the filterwill fail. the cells that I need to define are all in a cohesive unit. the other thing to know is that the cells that are not null will never be mixed in with cells that are null. so for instance you might have a range of cells from one to 100, the first 50 might be full. the last 50 would all be null. in that situation I would need to loop through those cells to define a range object that would just see the first 50 cells ....
I'm using a macro to copy the results of a formula and paste the values only on another sheet. The result includes lots of "blank" rows. I have another macro to get rid of the empty rows and move the information up.
It's not working because the "blank" rows aren't empty. Even though I paste values only, experimentation shows that the cells that appear blank return a false to the ISBLANK test with a length of 0.
So now I think I need a macro to run after the pastespecial command to look for cells within a range with a length of zero and delete the contents of those cells, but leave alone anything with a length of >0.
I am brand new to the idea of using VBA, but I have successfully cobbled together some stuff and can usually modify things to work.
It seems I need to maybe use some sort of IF statement along with a LEN and ClearContents. I don't want to delete the blank cells, just make them truly empty so that all of my actual data stays where it should, and my delete empty rows macro works correctly.
I did a search and see some info on clearing contents of columns or rows, or clearing contents based on the content of other columns or rows, but I'm unsure of how to tell it to search each cell within a range and clear the contents of 0-length cells to make them truly empty.
I am just learning VBA. I need to move to a cell location that is named in a range. As follows:
The cell "Sheet2!A1" has a formula that results in "Sheet1!B3". I would like my VBA code to read that cell and select Sheet1!B3. When using something like:
Application.GoTo Range("Sheet2!A1")
I end up of course at Sheet!2A1. I want to end up at Sheet1!B3 or wherever the cell reads at the time the code is read and operated on.
I need a macro to select the area within the blue invoice sheet box, so everything within the blue invoice sheet box is selected , and then the selection should be printed. I will have hundreds of these invoice slips made, right below each other, i was wondering once this is done, is there an easier way to to have each invoice selected, instead of making a custom button for each sheet ( which selects just that invoice , and prints that selection ).
( Column m through v, starting at row 2 stoping at row 68, is the selection required in this example, everythign within the blue box. ).
I've set up a short bit of code to select the print area for several pages in a workbook, but have no idea how to get the code to "activate". I tried placing a command button on a page to activate the code, but for some reason it won't see or act upon any sheets outside the sheet the command button is on. Same goes for the "event" proceudres on pages (activate, change.selection, etc).
I have a worksheey of data and i would like the tab to be a certain colour dependant on the the contents of a range of cells within that worksheet is that possible. i know i need to use VBA and it cna be done based ont he contents of one cell.
So for example i have a sheet of people i am awaiting payment from, based on the last column " bill paid" i want the tab to be Red if there are any blanks in this column/ range and go green when all the cells in the column/ range are filled with "y"
I am trying to clear the contents of a range of contiguous cells (containing formula) in Excel 2010 64bit. But it is taking a LONG time (read >30min to clear a range 288 x 100). Originally was doing it in VBA but it was taking too long so I started stepping through the macro and identified that the slow down was occurring on a particular sheet only. So the problem is in Excel....not VBA because it is still very slow when deleting the same range in Excel without using VBA.
I've tried all the usual suspects including: Application.EnableEvents = False (run from the VBA Immediate window when using Excel without VBA), Setting to Example of slow clear contents5.xlsxExample of slow clear contents5.xlsxManual Calculation, Turning off screen updating, deleting all the conditional formatting on the sheet, removing any data validation from the sheet (yes all these at the same time). There are no links to external workbooks. I've even tried in VBA changing from .ClearContents to .Value = vbNullString. All to NO AVAIL! By way of background the file is about 72Mb #.xlsm.
If I try to clear contents of larger ranges on other sheets in the same workbook it is instantaneous. If I copy the problem worksheet off to a new workbook, I can delete the problem range almost instantly. Why deleting a range of cells should take so long! Again to clarify, I am using the terms "delete" and "clear contents" interchangeably, but they both mean "clear contents" (not delete and move up cells). P.S I've also looked into the reported conflict between Excel and Google Desktop Office Add-in (Office Button->Excel Options->Addins->Com Addins and deselect Google Desktop Office Addin) but I didn't have Google Desktop Office Add-in so it isn't that.
I have a work book with several (couple of hundred) buttons, which when clicked display the contents of a range of cells in a message box as shown below;
I have a range of cells each containing different values. Each of these different cells has a related date contained in the row underneath.
I want to be able to search the range of cells and find it in the contents of a cell and return the corresponding date from the row below.
Excel 2010 A B C D E F G
[Code]...
Row A4:O4 is the range of cells to be tested. Row A5:O5 are the corresponding dates. Cell B1 is the value I want to search for and B2 is where the date I would like to appear.
In the example shown I'd like 01-Sep to appear in B2.
Why the following code gives me an error. I have so much trouble with ranges, I use the syntax as it is prescribed. Here is the code. I will include some code lines underneath since I imagine they wont work either.
[Code] .....
I eventually will be turning the range statements into copy and paste instead of select. At the moment I am using select to make sure the proper cells are being selected.
How can I select a range of cells dynamically, not know how many cells down for two columns that I will need to select, there will be a blank cell at the end of the needed range.
I have a series of data values in non-adjacent columns in an excel spreadsheet.
In the following example, assume the | (vertical bar) refers to the start of a new cell:
F|45|A|30|F|15|F|10
Using the SUMIF formula, I want to add all numbers which are preceded by a cell containing the letter F.
SUMIF(A1:G1,"F",B1:H1)
What I need to do is specify a range of every second cell in the row (starting with Cell A1) for validating they equal F, and a range of the alternating cells (starting in column B1) for the range containing the data to add. How can I specify these ranges (I can't name each cell individually as I have more than 30 cells to add up in my real life situation and the IF function allows selection of no more than 30 values)?
I'm looking for a macro that only selects the unprotected cells in a range. So that I can copy a formula in these cells.
I found the below macro on the web but it will select all the unprotected cells in the worksheet. I guess this one can easily be adjusted to only select the cells in a range, but I do not know how to do this.
Code:
Sub SelectUnlockedCells() Dim WorkRange As Range Dim FoundCells As Range Dim Cell As Range Set WorkRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange For Each Cell In WorkRange If Cell.Locked = False Then
I have come up with this bit of code by joining in two separate sets of code that I used earlier. What I want to do is this, for a given range I need to find each cell that has a comma and once that cell is found a formula has to be applied in a cell few columns to the left.. Here is the code that I am using..
Code: Sub Macro8() Dim i As Long For i = 1 To 1000
[Code]...
The sheet can be downloaded from here, I want column H to be (Col B / Col C) whenever Col A has a cell with comma in it. For this sheet col H needs to be populated 3 in places. The code above does it only for first instance.
