I used to have cells in the extremes of my worksheet filled which resulted in the scroll bars being stretched very thin. Since then, I am only using the top-left part of the worksheet but it is difficult to scroll through since the scroll bars are still stretched. How do I bring them back to normal?
View 5 RepliesThe spreadsheet contains 3000 lines and the scroll bar has enlarged to as long as the whole spreadsheet.
When trying to scroll down it takes 0.001 second to scroll way down to bottom line.
It's too fast.
Tried deleting empty cells by Control "-". The spreadsheet either freezes/crashes/ or just get worse and the time it takes to scroll does not change.
I have a problem where I extended a formula down to over 40,000 records which has increased the file size substantially. I only need it to scroll down to a few thousand rows now that I realized that there is alot less data to populate the worksheet. Is there any way to get it back to a scroll range that is more modest in size?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a userform which has vertical and horizontal scroll bars. I want to set the scroll bar width and height properties to the correct value, regardless of the size of monitor screen used to look at the user form. I'm thought of using the code below in the initiliaze event for the user form:
Me.ScrollHeight = Me.Height
Me.ScrollWidth = Me.Width
However, this does not seem to work. I've tried adding 250 (Me.Height + 250)to each measurement, which works, but gives the user with the larger screen a very big scroll area. I wondered if there was a formula based on the application height, that would allow the scroll height to be perfect for the user form regardless of screen size?
Rico.
PS. I also use the following code to set the user form height on initialize. I don't know if that effects anything.
Me.Height = Application.Height
Me.Width = Application.Width
Is there are way to adjust the horizontal scroll bar length in a workbook using vba?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have data in 1 worksheet say sheet1 which i copy to another sheet say sheet2. i do some processing like using some formulas on the data from columns A to D and getting an output in column E in the same sheet. Now the problem is, before i start the calculations in sheet2, the file size is 400 kB... and after the calculations are done, it becomes 20 mB... i dont know why this happens... there are some things which i think might be a reason but not very sure...
1. i calculate the last row in column A using
lastrow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).row
i tried Range("A500") and it seemed fine... Now u may tell me that i can just use 500 and make things simpler but its just a workaround and not a solution...
2. i use macros.. this is just an info...
3. Another thing is, if i use 500, the number of active rows is 500... i dont know whether the right word is active rows but wat im trying to say is, the scroll bar for the rows movement reaches row 500 when it reaches the bottom.
Finding the Column with the MAX Height in comparison with other Columns of UNEVEN Height
I need two things :
1. I have several columns starting from Column B till Column F, each column having values starting from the third ROW.
Ex:-
Lets say Column B contains two values in B3 and B4, Col C three values in C3 C4 and C5, Col D four values D3,D4,D5 and D6, Col E two values in E3 and E4, Column F five values F3,F4,F5,F6 and F7.
So, the answer is F3:F7.
2.I am using 10^{4,3,2,1,0} in a particular portion of a formula, Now the number of elements in the array or in the Curly Braces depends on the number of Columns filled from Column B as explained in the Point 1.
Now, since I have five columns under consideration I have this order as mentioned here {4,3,2,1,0} , I would like to know whether I could make this dynamic, as in if there were only four columns then this would be {3,2,1,0} and if more this array could self-fill and expand..
If that's possible, then how do we use it in the formula, Is it by the virtue of the INDIRECT function?
How do I get the actual worksheet height and width?

I have a datatable with data from 2010 and 2011. The worksheet will not scroll at all. It looks like it is scrolling at the side where the scroll bar is but the worksheet does not move. I can move the tab up or down but the page/worksheet doesn't move at all. If I activate the filter and select only the year 2011 in the drop down box for the Date column, it scrolls fine. But if I check "All Dates" or just "2010" from the drop down box on the Date column the page/worksheet will not scroll. I can select a certain month from the drop down box for 2010 and it will show the data (about 25 rows) but I cannot scroll. When I have just 2011 selected from the filter it all works fine. I'm not real swift with Excel. It was working fine until today.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using the following code. It works fine when it comes to selecting the cell. However, I'm not sure how to bring the view of the worksheet such that the selected cell is in the middle of the sheet. I've the data horizontally laid out from column A to column BM. So, when someone makes a change in Sheet2 I need to point to the corresponding column in Sheet1 such that it is in the view.

I have two basic questions regarding the Excel program/UI
I'm currently using Excel 2000, One annoying thing I find with this version is the way the screen doesn't follow along with my scrolling. ie: when I use the vertical scroll bar on the main window, it only updates once I release... not like a typical window which follows the movements of the scroll curser. Is this typical for later versions?
I would update this program just for this feature alone!
Also, a final question.... Does anyone know if there are any plans to update the handheld (pocket pc) version of Excel? The factory installed program is incredibly limited.
I have a workbook with 8 sheets, one of which is the "main" sheet that holds all of my user data for logins at my job (I'm in IT). There are about 4300 users and 23 fields for each user, so there are 4300 rows in the sheet. Other sheets in the book are important, but not as much as this one.
The workbook has a total of over 1000 lines of VBA code right now, as I'm building a tool that finds users, adds users, modifies users, etc. (I know, Access would be smarter for this, but for some reason they want me to use an xls). Most of this code works with the sheet that I'm having the problem on.
This ONE sheet has seemed to disable the functionality of the scroll wheel, and I can't use Page Up or Page Down while in the sheet either. Also, if I select cells with VBA (Sheet2.Range(<range>).Select), it will select the cell, but it will not draw focus to that cell on screen (the sheet will not move at all). The other 7 sheets in the workbook have all regular functionality.
This just started happening a couple days ago, and I've been building the code for about a week, so I'm wondering if it's something in the code...?
Does anyone have any idea what might cause this?
I am having problems with an Excel workbook I am working on. I have a sheet that has a number of controls added to the top of it. Two of these controls are listboxes. My problem is, if I am in the listbox navigating through it, and I accidently move the Mouse Wheel, Excel crashes and I get the usual, "Send Error Report" form.
I have seen that there are other people having this problem and that there are a number of solutions out there but my problem is a bit different. I have a few forms with listboxes on them, and while mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work, it certainly doesn't crash Excel. It only seems to happen when I have a control permanently added to the sheet. Is there any event handler for mouse wheel scrolls or anyway to disable them through VB?
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?

How to create a code formula to calculate the arc length from a given chord length?
If you know the radius of the major circle.
Say the chord is 50mm and major circle dia is 72mm (radius 36mm)
arc from chord.jpg
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If:
Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
I am using the toolbox/ properties method to restrict the scroll area in the sheets of my workbook. However, for some sheets when i keep the right hand arrow pressed, the screen will not scroll to the last column. (i.e. the screen display will not move with the selected cell box)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've written a program that list all the occurences of a given name in a specific cell from all worksheets in the active workbook. The list is placed in a listbox and the first listing is selected with ListBox1.Selected(0) = True. Additionally the worksheet of the first listing is activated.
My question is now how do I either scroll through each name in the list box and activate the "current" worksheet. I assume that I'll need to address scrolling up/dowm and clicking of any particular name on the list.
I built a workbook that is used by our account team to summarize account status. Each worksheet has several cells that use conditional formatting to call attention to the status reported in that cell. Each manager sends their worksheets to a Senior manager who then consolidates into a single workbook containing approximately 50 worksheets. Once consolidated, the file size has grown to over 12 Mb and this needs to be reduced to a more manageable number, preferable 4 Mb or less. Prior to buliding the new version of this workbook, the file size was less than 2 Mb.
I have removed the Macros and believe the size is due to the conditional formatting in each worksheet.
Once the worksheets are compiled, is there a way to remove the conditional formatting and save the existing format - Similar to a "Paste Values" function? The senior manager does not need to change cell value to the formatting of the worksheet he receives could be saved.
To be specific - one cell turns has no color if the value is 10 or less, is yellow if 11 - 15, and Red if 16+. Once sent to the manager, the variance in this cell is not needed; he only needs to see the color associated with the value when sent. Next week he will receive an updated worksheet and a new value will be entered. The conditional formatting is only needed by the individual preparing the original worksheet.
I am a big fan of huge files (30MB+) all interlinked with array formulas ...and lots of them. The problem is...one calculation take literally 5 hours. (I have one file I try to calculate since cca 4 hours now...it's at 63%)
I keep getting extra memory with no visible improvement on the processing time. Is there a trick out there that I can use? Something is clearly wrong.
I feel I will soon have to give up Excel, or my formulas, or my job ...

I got a CD with pricing and (high resolution) pictures (for printing). I've built the search/display macros for displaying a page on the net, so all I want to do is reduce the pics (Adobe Photoshop) to save memory - easy, right?
