I have a list of asset numbers that I am displaying to a user. I have a cell where the user is to type in the asset number. What I would like is to be able to display a list of matches in another group of cells.
I.e. - if the cell is populated with "D49", the list on the right will contain all asset numbers starting with "D49"...
I can do this easily enough if I wait for the "Change" event on the worksheet - but this necessitates the user typing some in, hitting enter, etcetera.
Is there any way to trigger an event per keystroke instead of on worksheet.change?
I've defined a number of variables in my spreadsheet. When I want to use one I type "=variablename" and 'm presented with a list menu.jpg
In the above example, I have several variables starting with the word "Harvard" (a town, not the university :-)
How do I select one of these without having to double click with the mouse.
Up and down arrows allow me to highlight an item but I cannot find a keystroke that allows me to select the highlighted item. Instead I have to lift my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse.
Since I practically never deliberately hit Control-2 through Control-5 -- and do hit them "more than never," I thought I'd grab them with the KeyPress event (or KeyDown?). Then it hit me that I'm not sure where it would go.
This is for every workbook so this would generically reside in personal.xls. ThisWorkbook doesn't seem like the right place; I want its scope to be ActiveWorkbook. Would it require a class module (actually, I already looked, and don't see any keyboard events under "App")?
I have the following in WorkBook and would like it executed when I hit enter after entering data into "Quarter":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False Set WatchRange = Range("Quarter") Set IntersectRange = Intersect(Target, WatchRange) If Not IntersectRange Is Nothing Then Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLSB!ChangeRangeNames" End If Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
I want (using keystrokes only) to Save As my workbook with the data in a certain cell. However, when I select this cell, and then ctrl + c, it copies the cell (not just the data inside), and so it doesn't let me paste this as the name of the document. Does anyone know how to use keystrokes to highlight the data itself in a selected cell.
this it the row. Article No. is A1, but G04532 is A10073 because of sorting. I want to select A1 and do a for loop downwards to see if the next cell is the same. Ultimately i want to copy A1:A7 because they are the same....
How to set up a sheet with single-keystroke data entry. I am writing a sheet to store golf scores. I need to be able to key in scores at a high rate of speed.
The allowed data are: 1, 2, 3, 4,5 6, 7, 8, 9. I want the operator to be able to press 3 (or Alt-3) and get:a) a 3 is typed into the cell. b) the cursor moves to the right one cell. Etc. for 1 thru 9.
I have a userform with 3 option buttons. Each buttin is set to display another userform.
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click() Userform1.Show End Sub Private Sub OptionButton2_Click() Userform2.show End Sub Private Sub OptionButton3_Click() Userform3.Show End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
Right now the form is running perfectly. If I select an option with the mouse the correct form shows right up. The issue I have is that, the excel file will be running on a computer that will have no mouse. It will be using a barcode reader as its primary input source. What i would like to do is have the user swipe a 1,2 or 3 will the barcode reader or keypad.
I am using a bar code gun to enter numbers. There are two bar codes on each item that I am scanning requiring two columns for each item. Right now I squeeze the trigger and the number pops up into the currently active cell. Then I use the arrow key to move over one cell and squeeze the trigger for the next number. Then Down arrow following with a left arrow to move the highlighted cell down one line back to the first column. Kind of inefficient because although repetitive there is room for errors on my part.
Is there a way to make it that every time I press the space bar or some other key that excel highlights a cell following my desired pattern? At least for the time that I am using the bar code gun? Making it so pressing the space bar would advance the selected cell over, then down and left, then over, then down and left, alternating with each press following that pattern ad infinitum. I have to scan hundreds of these babies.
Would this be difficult? I’m not the programming type. Any help would be greatly appreciated. At least I no longer have to manually type each number in. That was a real bummer.
I'm building an Excel worksheet into a kind of dashboard with CommandButtons and TextBoxes to drive the functionality of the rest of the document.
I'm trying to recreate some of the functionality of a UserForm (e.g., tab order). I'm using the CommandButton's KeyDown event to respond if the user presses Enter:
I have a macro that can individually turn on or off the EnableCalculation property of each worksheet in a workbook (that is, set the property to True or False). It worked very nicely for a while, and made some of my more formula-laden workbooks much more tractable. But after a while, when I would turn the EnableCalculation back to True for any worksheet, the formulas on that sheet were still frozen (would not recalculate at all), and could only be unfrozen by going to each cell and doing [F2] [Enter]. Just to rule out the obvious, Automatic calculation is turned on, and I have made sure that the macro is successfully returning the EnableCalculation property back to True.
It seems that if I physically go into the VB Editor and manually (through the GUI, as opposed to programmatically) switch the EnableCalculation property back to False, then back to True again, then it will revive the formulas. But this is silly, and I was hoping there was a better solution... maybe someone has encountered this before? If it's just another Microsoft bug, I don't know what's the trigger is, but I imagine it's when you save/close the workbook with some of the sheets' EnableCalculation properties still set to False. I know the property is not stored/saved with the workbook, i.e. all sheets will reset EnableCalculation to True when the workbook is re-opened, but maybe it's still causing a glitch.
My excel file consists of 15 sheets, thereof 4 that are purely graphs, the others have tables with formulas. When opening the file or changing values, the entire sheet is being recalculated every time which takes a few seconds. Is this normal or can one tell to recalculate at another stage?
The activities sheet has a date macro (double click in date cell). The workbook has a macro for the footer information.
My sheet has a very simple formula in a lot of the cells that simply say this cell in sheet A should equal a cell on sheet B in the same workbook.
I deleted the contents of the cells in sheet B, however the cells in sheet A did not update. It still shows the contents of sheet B that were there before I deleted them. The sheet is set to calculate automatically and I even commanded it to force calculation.
Any clues as to why my sheet will not update?
If I cut a formula from a cell in Sheet A and paste right back, it updates correctly to reflect the cell that was deleted in Sheet B.
I have a cell which sums up a lot of random number generators (after going through several other functions) and therefore every time the worksheet recalculates the value of this cell changes.
Is there any way I can get this cell to print it's value say, 1000 times, each print one cell below the previous, with a recalculate in-between each print? I'm guessing this needs scripts? Or is there a way of just directly inputting this into 1000 cells and letting it fly?
how to lock a formula in a cell, protect the sheet but still allow it to recalculate when new data is entered in a unlocked cell that feeds the formula? I am using Excel 2003.
I want to make a drop down menu whereby each choice in the drop down would re-calculate my workbook.
Let me explain:-
I want to make a drop down menu in sheet 1 with 3 choices. The 3 choices come from sheet 2 (row 1, column A, B, C). I have data in sheet 2 in rows 2 through to 6 in columns A, B, C. I have sheet 3 that currently uses the data from sheet 2 row 2 through to 6 for column A.
I want to be able to use the drop down menu in sheet 1 to choose either column A, B, or C in sheet 2 and then re-calculate the data in sheet 3 accordling.
I have the drop down menu made now.... but how can i re-calculate the values in sheet 3 after choosing a choice in the drop down?
I need to create a drop down menu or something of that sort, that allows the user to select what units he wants his results to be in.
When a particular units system is selected, the results must be recalculated and displayed in their respective cells.
No matter which units are selected, the units must always be displayed in the same set of cells, that means the formula or reference in the set of those output cells must change automatically, based on the units selection.
My workbook in Excel 2003 is set to manual re-calculation to save constant updating of all the worksheets.
However, I have 2-3 worksheets where I have a drop list box containing dates and I would like all of the information in that particular worksheet to update itself when the date changes.
e.g. If dropdown list box in B2, when changed from 4/10/08 to 11/10/08 all formulas etc are updated.
Have done a search but the only examples I can find are ones where the worksheet updates itself whenever any cell is changed.
I have sheets 3, 4, 5 which I would like to only _manually_ recalculate (with a macro -- the sheets are locked at other times), and say sheets 1, 2, 6 which I would like to automatically calculate.
Is there a way to do this in excel? I can only see a way to manually/automatically calculate the entire Excel application, which is really not ideal.
I am using Excel 2007. I have read that if you open an excel 2003 document, that has external links, the links will be recacluated automatically. How do I change the settings in '07 so that the links are not recalculated when I open a 2003 excel file?
When I have a column of data, say reference A1 to A9 with a formula beneath it in A10 being that the formula is = SUM(A1:A9) when I update any of the data in A1 to A9 the figure in A10 does not update. The only way to get it to update is to click in A10 where the formula is and then click in the formula bar and press enter; the formula seems to recalculate after this and it works or you need to save it and it works. It should work right after any change in the data being added.
I have made some UDFs (custom functions) using VBA, when the problem is that they don't update automatically like standard functions. I have numerous tickboxes which cause text to become bolded, and then my function counts the total, only including bolded text:
Function CountGamerScore() As Long Dim i As Integer Dim strScore As String Dim intDigit As Integer i = 6 For i = 6 To 52 strScore = "L" & i If Range(strScore).Font.Bold = True Then intDigit = Left(Range(strScore).Value, Len(Range(strScore).Value) - 1) CountGamerScore = CountGamerScore + intDigit End If Next i End Function
However, if I untick or tick a checkbox, the bold and unbold works fine (done in another sub, but the function does not update the value in the cell for total.
Therefore, is there any VBA code that will tell Excel to recalculate formulae??
to write a VBA code that will have a cell RE-calcuate an excel formula ONLY if a date i have in a cell to the left of it is greater than another cell in the worksheet.
These dates will change so i cannot have the value entered into the VBA code, but rather linked to the data i would enter into the said cell.
On my workbook I have autocalculation off. I'm trying to think of the best way to trigger a "Calculate" upon changing sheets. So everytime you click on a new sheet, it runs a "Calculate"?
I have a spreadsheet where sheet("summary").Cells("K4") = sheet("component").Cells("G7").
This is written as a formula, e.g. =SUM('Component'!G7).
I am trying to achieve the same through VBA. I can get the summary cell to copy the others. but it just copies it the once when it is created. How can I make this re-calculate everytime it is changed?
