View 9 RepliesI have a cell with 200+ character, I only want the 40 first character is there a function that will give me only those 40 first character or do I have to use a "=len" and manually remove the extra characters?)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 Replies View RelatedI 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 1 Replies View RelatedI am reposting this because I do not think I did a very good job explaining what I am trying to do.
I am at a total loss on how (if it is even possible) of how to do this. So what I have done is tryed to break down each step. If someone could even get me started in the right direction many of the steps are redundant and I could work on that part myself.
I am attempt to create system to match parts that are alike in a single project, so I can create a material ordering list. This is just one step in the process (the hardest one) I will take the returned data and use it further in the process to create the actual material list. I have 2 worksheet of Data "PartsNeeded" and "PartsAvailable" with a 3rd sheet "PartsFilled" as my report Sheet.
Attach is the sample data along with a "notes tab"
is it possible to have a cell return all matches from a list and have the list of matches reduce as you type, then be able to select one item from the list? this is a typical feature on internet sites, but can it be done in Excel?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am now going to use SUMPRODUCT(B3:BX,D3:X) to sum a string of products from two columns(B &D).
The list column length will vary so X will change from time to time. Is there a way to make the X change in this formula automatically.
My key is in row A (up to 50,000 keys) my entries are in column B. There could be between 1 to 20 entries per key (variable). i need to move the entries across so my key remains in column A and the entries appear in columns B, C, D, etc. Need to end with one row per key.
from this:

car
pool
window

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)

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 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 have a spreadsheet with 34K rows. I would like to reduce to only the rows that include a certain word.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe 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 working VBA Module that needs to be reduced. If you notice I have copied it 5 total times to get it work the right way.
Code:
Sub TestingSub()
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Set wsSource = Worksheets("Catering and Rental Worksheet")
Set wsDest = Worksheets("Catering BEO")
'Entertainment Sub Box Fill
wsSource.Range("D13").Copy
wsDest.Range("F17").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False

I have a table that constantly refreshes itself.
[ProductTable]
Product Quantity (live)
P1 10
[AnotherTable1]
Product Quantity Field_3 ... Field_n
P1 =vlookup("P1", ProductTable, 2, FALSE)
The lookup should perform once to find the cell of interest. Subsequent value update should not trigger additional scans. Is this case? If not, how do I cut down the time on the look up?

I want to reduce size kindly give me some tips to reduce size.
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? Why can't I get the pics out of excel for work in Photoshop? I've done the tools>options>General tab>ignore other applications (clear) thing. I've done the "shift>edit>copy picture" or "right-click>copy" thing - but I can't paste anything anywhere. What's up? I didn't think I was this bad, but I guess I am; life is humbling.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have an excel file with lots of formulas on quite a few pages and these are carried down for so many records - its sort of a template to generate information from/to certain sheets for many other purposes.
- is there any way to compress the file (without actually zipping it) as it must remain a working document?
My excel file has grown to 23Mb. It has around 10 worksheets and a similar number of userforms. Because the file is large, it slows down the VBA code when it encounters a save command. Is there any way I can improve this? Do userforms use alot of memory or is it the length of code? There are a few images on the userforms but the images are less than 1 Mb in total when all added together.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen we sell things here at a 'sale' price there is always an argument as to who's department needs to give the discount off.
Each job we do has a labour time and an hourly labour rate.
Each part has a profit in it.
So if something is normally £100 but we are going so sell it for £80 we need tio split the £20 reduction evenly to both departments based on the GP each department has in the sale.
See attached : GP Reduction per department.xlsx
I still cant figure out how to write macros. If someone could help me out with this I would appreciate it.
Currently I have a worksheet that is 20mb.
This file contains what takes up most of the space. I repeat this line many times throughout the worksheet.

Once again it is a zero eliminating code.
If someone could reduce the number of formulas for me, I think I could figure out how to adapt it to repeat throughout the sheet.
I have been building a spread sheet data base which I think is pretty simple.
It now has quite a few formula's and is taking time to calculate when I add data.
I have tried to simplify some formula's and get rid of complex one's that can be replaced with simple ones... Is there any advice or suggestions for reducing the calculating time..?
I have the following code in a User form and I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the number of lines that are highlighted, but obviously still get the required results!

If Product Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Product code, try again"
Else
'Populate the userform with data
tbData1 = Product.Offset(0, 1) 'Down 1 row, over 1 column
tbData2 = Product.Offset(0, 2)
tbData3 = Product.Offset(0, 3)
