I have already looked at many of the posts but I have not found the solution that I am looking for. I am familiar with VB and the NOW function.
I am trying to create a macro that will reference a cell and place a static date and time next to the cell. I want this date and time to only change when the checkbox is clicked.
I have a checkbox in E11 that is linked to F11, I would like to have G11 record the date and time that the checkbox is clicked. I have already tried the following.
I seek advice on using the value of NOW() as a record ID in an address book program. Question #1: Do Excel developers often use a record ID? Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.
I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.
Dim n As Double n = Now() sn = Str(n) p = InStr(sn, ".") first = Left(sn, (p - 1)) l = Len(sn) d = l - p S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................
I have cobbled together some code that searches a folder of my choice and lists the files within the folder every xxx seconds for yyy minutes. The files it finds are listed in 'Column A', and between each search during the defined yyy search duration 1 row is added to seperate them.
I require the additional code to record the search time in 'Column B' of the corresponding Row, and the search date in 'Column C' of the corresponding row. The Time & Date will simply be the Computers Time & Date at the occurrence of the relevant Search interval. The code is as follows:
I'm having trouble while trying to use a variable in a cell reference. I have a sheet that is being used to record the time and date of data entered into the workbook. This sheet is divided into columns, each designated to a specific type of data. I have written a macro to enter the current time in the correct column, but that macro is embarrassingly long and complicated because I used a series of if statements to handle all the different data being entered. I'm trying to simplify by using vlookup, and assigning the column value to a variable, and inserting that variable into the cell reference.
Here is the line I need to insert a variable into:
I ran a Home Service Massage, with ten massagers and it's continually growing. I know I'm supposed to use a database for this, but I'm not very good in creating one. I am however confident in using MS Excel, so in a much as possible, I only want to use MS Excel, and strictly use formulas (if I can get away with it).
Anyway, I keep customer records in one tab, and all their personal info is listed there. There are two types of columns, which I'd like to call 'static' and 'automatic'.
Static columns includes Unique ID (number), Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.
Automatic columns, by the term I used, is filled automatically. This includes the total number of hours they have availed the massage from us, the names of massagers who serviced them, --- and my biggest issue --- the date of last massage. I can manually input this, but I normally forget, so I want this filled automatically.
Aside from customer tab, I have one tab for each massager. First column is the date, then 48 columns for time. Starting from 8AM, 830AM, 9AM... 730AM. Hence I have 48 of them. Each column is equals to 30mins of massage availed. I copy and paste the Unique ID from customer tab.
so A2:A32 are dates, and B2:BC50 is where I copy paste the unique ID. B1:BC1 are time labes.
Is it possible for me, just by using formulas, to populate the 'last massage date' column?
I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.
What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.
When a cell changes i would like the cell in the next column to record the date of this change. After achieving this i want to set up conditional formatting to compare this date to the current date and if they are the same then change the original cell's colour to show it changed today!
I started using the code below (from ozgrid) which was working fine BUT my cell value in column A is actually taken from a different column. when the different column cell value changes my cell in A changes but the script below does not seem to see this as a change. it only records the date if i physcially change the cell in A rather than another cell prompting it to change.
based on my overall objective and my plans to date please can someone suggest a solution? current code below....
I have a workbook with macro button to run some vba, if i want the button to disable when the user make copies of the workbook (date created is later than original wb saved time) what codes to add in the VBA?
what i assume is to add the time to a cell when the wb is saved, when the wb opens, it check for that cell if the same with the date created, if different, then disable the macro button.
What is the code i need to use to assign a macro to a command button which inserts the current date and time in the selected cell regardless of where that cell is?
i have a spreadsheet with different customer names. I want to highlight a row every time a customer name changes. For example: ABC, DEF , i want to highlight where abc ends . Normally i use subtotals, then group them by rows then select visible cells then i highlight every different customer. The problem is that since it is a huge sheet, it takes 30 minutes to do the subtotals. I am not sure if conditional formatting can do this.
This problem seemed to revolve around "digital signing" with further macro changes done from a different machine (without the proper certificate). Excel warns of the problem and then "unsigns" the project.
I've got a problem with spreadsheets that I've been working on. Now, when I tell it to record a macro, I get the macro name, shortcut assignment dialog box and then an error "Unable to record." After "Ok"ing that dialog box, the normal recording macro dialog comes up. Also, lo and behold, there will not be a macro recorded.
I've got no protected cells or sheets and it doesn't matter what security level is set. It is a "signed" macro but I can take off the signature and still have the problem. I checked for "Help - About" for deactivated modules and there was none.
What I am trying to do is record the time when a task is completed on the spreadsheet. For explanation sake, lets say I have list of 10 tasks in column C 1-10. In column B 1-10 I have a button for each task. When you press the button for the task, the time it was pressed is recorded in D 1-10. To put the time in I used =now(). The problem that I am having is, when you press button 2-10, it changes the time in the cell above to the same time. So instead of have 10 different times in 1-10, I have 10 identical times,being the last button I pressed. I tried timestamp, time value, etc
What i would like to do is record a cell on sheet1 in sheet2 when it reaches a certain number i.e 2. The cell in sheet1 changes all the time but sheet2 must not refresh. Is this possible with a formula?
I am attempting to pick up a date with time entry on a worksheet and place it into a TextBox on a UserForm. Format on the sheet is mm/dd/yyyy h:mm AM/PM. The UserForm is placing the value as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00 AM. here is the
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() If Not Range("dDate").Value = "" Then TextBox2.Value = Range("dDate").Value TextBox2.Text = Format(DateValue(TextBox2.Text), "mm/dd/yy h:mm AM/PM") Else TextBox2.Value = "" TextBox2.SetFocus End If End Sub
"dDate" is the named range where the date is sitting. The format is also set on the TextBox2 exit event. Can anyone see why only the date portion is being transfered with the default 12:00 AM for no time component of the value?
There is a standard Excel macro to add the current date and time to a spreadsheet. But how do you add those to another macro and have them populate the date and time as of when activate the second macro? I have the following code (only the part that is applicable for this question):
I have loaded a .csv file in which the first column contains date/times, e.g. 01/12/2012 00:00. How do I now tell Excel (2010) that this is in fact a date/time format? If I select one or more of the cells, click on the Number dialog box launcher and try to pick a suitable format tghe cells resolutely refuse to budge from being text (i.e. left-justified, still allows me to edit the 'seconds' component to a number > 60). Also which data type should I be using? The only one that appears to have a full date/time format listed is Custom (not Date or Time).
In my job, my team have to take phone-calls from stores asking various questions. In order to combat this, I have set up a call tracker to see where the calls are coming from (so we can beat them with a stick). I have asked my colleagues to record the date and time of the calls.
I need a big button at the top of the page that says 'New Call'. Then, when this button is pressed, the time and date stamp will automatically be put into cell A3, then when pressed again a4, and again a5... and so on.
I am struggling with the following:
-Using CTRL + Shift + : to input the date/time on a macro inputs the date I made the macro, not the date/time the button is pressed! -I can only get the date to go in cell A2 - If I press it again, nothing happens. how to do this, or just do it for me
I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of names/numbers/dates and I have to manually go through the list each day highlighting the row if it contains a date that is more than 48 hours old. How to accomplish this in a macro? Example:
That is the layout of the spreadsheet so I would have to manually highlight rows 2 and 4 because the date in Column D is greater than 48 hours ago. The range is A1:D25 and the cells are changed/updated daily.
I have cells in a column that record time in date. Unformatted it would appear as 19789.51407 but formatted to show time and date it would as appear as 3/6/54 12:20 PM. I am making graphs with the data and I want the title of my x axis to read "GMT Time (mm/dd/yyyy - mm/dd/yyyy)" or "GMT Time (mm/dd/yyyy)" depending on if the event spans more then one day. Using the following code, it almost accomplishes this.
Dim strDate As String Range("CO3").Value = Range("A3").Value Range("CP3").Value = Range("A" & Drag).Value Range("CO3:CP3").NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy" If Range("CO3").Value = Range("CP3").Value Then strDate = "GMT Time (" & Range("CO3") & ")" Else If Range("CO3").Value < Range("CP3").Value Then strDate = "GMT Time (" & Range("CO3") & " - " & Range("CP3") & ")" End If End If
Where "Drag" is a variable that signifies the total number of cells in the column; ie the first and last dates. It compares the values and saves the results as a string. The problem is that when the string is saved it saves the date in mm/dd/yyyy hh/mm/ss. How can i separate the date from the time so I can have the title of my x axis appear as i need them?
I know this is a simple question for all VBA droids...I guess the challenge is in how quickly I'll receive an answer. I hear the turn-around time on this board is pretty impressive. So here goes...
What is the VBA code for recording the current date without the date recalculating when the form is re-opened. I know the formula for automatic entry [=today()], but I need the date to stay the same. I can assign the date to any cell, so you may theorize any cell in the code. Remember...the trick is getting the date to stay the same once it's been automatically entered.
i am building a data base and every day, say, at 5pm a certain cell should contain a corresponding date. In my macro I simply wrote
Range("A1").Offset(i-1,0).Formula="=Today()"
I thought naiivly it would work, but it doesn't, as the next day the date will be changed correspondingly. So, the question is: how to record todays' date (Dec 29) so that this date stays in this cell forever? Only the date, not Excel Dates & Times
I am trying to develop a macro that allows the user to copy and paste a set of date and time values, move them to the next sheet and increase the month by 1. I need help trying to find out how can I create a counter for the program to keep running without the need to reprogram the macros again.
I think there's a way to use Excel to automatically create a 5-day calendar. Maybe a macro?
The date format must be dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm and it must be in text format. If its June 9, 2012 at 6pm - the correct format is: 12/06/2012 18:00
I want to post 5 times a day: 09:05, 9:55, 10:45, 16:55 and 18:00.
Column A is where the date and time goes. Ideally, I'd enter in A1 the start date and then run a macro that would automatically populate the next 5 consecutive days with the specific times above (so 25 rows total in column A).
I have to save the file as a csv file, so the date and time format has to be in text or I'll get an upload error in Hootsuite.
I recently installed Excel 2007, and have shared others' joy in searching for things on the ribbon. I tried to record a macro to insert an autoshape. Excel creates the macro, but drawing the autoshape is not recorded. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious ...
