Return Active Cell's Location/row
I'm having trouble identifing a way to return a location for the position of the active cell. I've searched Excel help with "Position, location, return, activecell, etc." and I can't seem to figure this out. I know that it's possible, so that's why I'm on here!

...

Ok, say the active cell is currently "F1", and I need the location "F1" to identify the ROW to be used in a formula later, how would I go about that?

The current contents of cell "F1"' will be "REPLACE", but I need to change the words "REPLACE" in "F1" and other cells labeled "REPLACE" in column F to the following formula (where the "1" in "A1" is is the current row):

Return To Last Location
How do I write a VB Script to take the user back to where they came from.

Example:

User is on Sheet 1 and clicks a macro that takes him to Sheet 10.
I need a macro that is on Sheet 10 that takes the user back to Sheet 1.
BUT if the User is on Sheet 5 and clicks on a macro that take him to Sheet 10
I need that same macro on Sheet 10 to take him back to Sheet 5.

Return Cursor To Last (previous) Location
I am familiar with the codes suggested here: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...-previous.aspx

I move the cursor with Hyper-Links or just by clicking another cell.

I wonder - is there something I can add/do in order to enable returning from ANOTHER sheet !?

Save & Return To Last Location
User selects 'go to page B' on page A. They look at an object then click the object to go back to page A. Once back on page A they need to check data on page B, but in the same general location as where they just looked. This is over simplified, but pretty much sums up what I need to do. The code I have now is below, but keeps sending me to the last selection on my current page.

Public Sub SaveLocation(ReturnToLoc As Boolean)
Static WB As Workbook
Static WS As Worksheet
Static R As Range
If ReturnToLoc = False Then
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
Set WS = ActiveSheet
Set R = Selection
Else
WB.Activate
WS.Activate
R.Select
End If
End Sub

Public Sub SetSaveLoc()
SaveLocation (False)
End Sub

Public Sub GetSaveLoc()
SaveLocation (True)
End Sub

Return A Value Based On 2 Items From List
In Excel 2007, I need to be able to return a value (definition of something) based on what is selected in 2 other cells.

(See Attached)
If in cell C2 I select "competency 1" and in Cell C3 I select "Expert", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is an Expert in Competency 1 in cell D2.

Then, if in cell C5 I select "competency 2" and in Cell C6 I select "Leading", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is Leading in Competency 2 in cell D5. And I'll be doing this about 10 times on each sheet.

All the tables with info are in another worksheet. I can do a vlookup if I'm just using one thing to match, but how do I match 2 things to return the definition?

Lookup & Return Multiple Items
I am trying to make a search form in Excel 2003 where I can lookup data for a specific value which may have multiple rows. I have several columns, column A Tracking Number, B Order number, C Item Number, etc.

For example; Order number S6001 has three item numbers on rows 1,2,and 3.

I can get the data on row 1 using the basic "LOOKUP" function but not rows 2 and 3. How do I have all of the line items (rows) returned for that order number.

Interpolation Given A Variable Table Location & Location Of Data Within
I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.

simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

Searching A Column For Specific Text To Return A Number Of Items Found
on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...

the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.

Increment Cell Location Up By One Cell For A Column
Increment all cells located in Column H up by one (the one above it) cell Except for the header cell (since its the header)(H1),

H2 will always be a blank due to the make up of my database so that will not cause the header to be re-written.

Column H is not an entirely filled column and some cells are empty (if this info was needed in optimizing the code),

Im seeking the quickest and easiest way of implementing this since the database is very large.

Cell Value Based On Mouse Location
Is there a way to have excel track where my mouse is hovering(say if I have it hovering over cell A4) and have it return the value of A4 in a different cell (e.g B7)?

This would occur in real time - that is, as my mouse moved over the spreadsheet, B7 would update in real time.

Note I would also accept someone selecting the cell - hovering (no select) would be ideal but selecting is OK.

Using 2 Variables To Return Multiple Items From Multiple Sheets
I have a need to populate a summary worksheet using two variables to find data in two or more other worksheets.

I find writing out what I want helps some times so let me try it here.

So my variables are:

Product (there are 22 products)
Supply Less than (inset number)

These are the two criteria I want to use to produce a result.

The next issue is I have 300 stores that carry said 22 products. Each store has a unique number 0001, 0002, 0003 etc. So in a separate worksheet I have a list of the store numbers, and then the products. So each product has the store's number to the left in Column A, Column B has the product name, Column C has the quantity on hand.

What i would like to do on the summary page is select the product, and then select the supply less than or equal to 'x' and then have the stores with the selected product less than or equal to x display below.

The last part of this is then to display (data from an other sheet) on the summary page which contains the quantity of the product selected available at the warehouse for that store.

Copy Cell Values While Id Value Is Same To New Location Then Repeat For New Id Value
what I need to do is , while an id value is constant copy 2 adjacent cells to a new location on the same row as the first occourance of the id value, then if the id is the same on the next row repeat the copy and add these 2 values to the cells next to the ones previously copied.

Once the Id value changes then the copy restarts on a new row which is the same as the first occourance as the new id value and repeats the same sequence as described in the first statement.

I have attached a sample spreadsheet showing an example of the source and how I would like it to end up, the colour is only there to seperate the outcome from the source and is not required in the code.

Creating Variables Based On Cell Location
if Row i Column j is activated then a corresponding variable Aij, Bij, Cij or Dij would be created (if not already existing), or cumulated by 1. The problem as I see it - completely generalised - is to create a variable where the variable name itself is formulaic, as well as its value. I know SAS would have no problem with this due to the order in which it parses data steps, but I'm pretty amateur with other programming languages so I don't know if this is blindingly obvious or downright impossible!

MsgBox ActiveCell.Value
Next c

i did this but it selects the first blank row (row 15) and gives me an empty message box 14 times (which is right, but i need 14 values) the reason i need the loop is because the number ov values will always change

Select A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.

For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).

The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

Circular Reference - Value Of That Variable Changes Depending On The Location Of The Cell
Excel 2003 > Attached is a small model of what I am trying to accomplish. Cells B2 and B4 contain the same formula … a formula that calls a simple function. The function has a variable passed to it … and the value of that variable changes depending on the location of the cell. Now, see the function in Module1 … it is called CellCalc. If the variable passed = Jim then value = 3. If the variable passed = Jack then value = 8. That is straightforward.

Note also that when Sheet1 is activated, I calculate the cells from left to right and top to bottom … that is important. Here is the challenge. If B2 > 1 then I want to add B2 to B4 and set B2 to 1. I can set B4 properly but I cannot reset B2. You can see my 2 attempts that are commented out. Is there some way of accomplishing this … or am I simply stuck in a circular reference?

The alternative to this is to write a function that operates externally on these cells. That will work for sure but then the values of the calculations will overwrite the functions in those cells, thereby taking away the dynamic nature of this application.

COLOR Items, Text & Cell(s), Unresponsive
I should much appreciate your help on this strange new problem which is twofold:

1. Clicking either color item (for text or for cell) brings no change in designated cell(s)

2. When colors appear on Print Preview they do not on the Printout.

It occurs on Dell Vista Ultimate SP2. Am on IE8; Ctrl Panel list also shows !E7.

It does not occur on HP XP SP3 desktop although no discernable differences in spreadsheet.

On laptop I am unable to use either COLOR icons -- for text or for cells. No trouble heretofore which makes it so frustrating.

Ordinarily, following usual usage, all is well. For unknown reasons, now neither has any effect.

Explored for cause/cure without finding anything more than instructions already well known.

Did see note saying High Contrast might make colors ineffective, so searched out that.

Found how to turn on/off, and easily turned off High Contrast. Made no difference.

How To Use One Cell To Match Pairs Of Cells For Missing Items
We use a program at work to check items out to individual people but sometimes an item is missed and it takes forever to manually look for who it is. In the attached example, (keep in mind there might be more than 100 people on this list...this is just two people), the first 2 items are a pair (radio and radio case) and the second 2 items are a pair (laptop and laptop case).

Id like a way (condition formatting) to flag a person who has one item from the pair checked out and not the other. (Ive manually highlighted one person who only has one of the paired items...id like this to happen automatically)

EDIT:: If the first person were missing the radio in this example, his name would be highlighted on the line with the matching pair...cell D1 (radio case)

Other information:

Radios will always be RFAMRC***
Radio cases will always be RFAMF****

Laptops will always be RFAMTD***
Laptop cases will always be RFAMTE***

Reference Cell Based On Button Location & Determine Button Used

Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA.

If cBox.Value > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date
'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null
End If
End Sub

Function To Mirroring Cell Relative To Function's Location
I have created a List in excel of various tasks. (See attached example.) Each row contains one cell with a function which equals the cell above it and to the right.
