I want to run a macro that unhides 15 lines (line 20 to 35) when data is inputed on cell 'F6' and to run another macro called "search" (i have already finished this macro) which will fill in information on the unhidden lines from above.
View 4 RepliesI work for a marketing agency where technical savvy-ness is really limited. We analyze a lot of web page elements. I have a program that exports this data into a csv file and I've created a template for the user to add this sheet. This data is primarily text. I've created a button on another sheet that runs a macro that extracts data from the first sheet onto the second sheet in a particular format for ease of reading and editing it. That part is all good, this macro works and the button works. Now I'm trying to have it such when a person edits one of these cells, it highlights the changes on this newly sheet using VBA (the highlighting changes function just turned out to be too messy and buggy for what I want). I have this basic change macro that I have on the sheet currently:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1:H500"
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Interior.ColorIndex = 30
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
This works as well. However, my problem is that when I run the data button macro, of course excel reads this as a change to the cell and highlights it as a change before any actual changes are made. How can I have it so I run my data macro, and the cell changes are highlighted only *after* the user goes in to edit the text data plugged in from the data macro?
I am looking for a macro which will help make my workbook more user friendly.
Is it possible to have a macro which when run brings up dialog boxes for user input into certain sheets etc.?
I need a simple macro to enter data for hours worked, but don't like the inputbox.
I need to enter the Emp Nbr in B1.
AM in Time in B3
AM out Time in B4
PM in Time in B7
PM out Time in B8
I then write down the hours worked and
Return to B1
When I enter an new number, I want it to put 0 in B3,B4,B7 and B8
(see attached) Oops can't post. There is probably a better way to calculate the sub-totals, but this works except on an enter of 1200
I often have to research long sheets of data, which requires filling data in on my research sheet from several different sources. The research sheet has a file # in A and a vendor # in C. The data sources have the file #s & vendor #s in varying columns, but I use a pivot table to end up with file # in A, vendor # in B and the needed data in C.
The length of the research sheet varies from month to month - often 800-900 rows, so you can imagine how tedious it is to find the correct file #/vendor # combination to plug the data in. (Many of the rows on the research sheet will not have a row on the data source sheet.)
I managed to get an array formula in one of the columns on the research sheet that actually DOES work:
Code:
{=INDEX('Acct Activity'!C$1:C$7,MATCH(A7&C7,'Acct Activity'!A$1:A$7&'Acct Activity'!B$1:B$7,0))}
But the problem is that it returns #N/A in any row that doesn't have any data. This messes up the sum formula in the farthest right column. So, I tried to incorporate an ISERROR in with the formula, but couldn't get it to work; it left all the cells blank.
In the meantime, I got to thinking that, since there are up to 3 columns requiring data on the research sheet & each column's data comes from a different source, wouldn't it be great to have a macro where I could use a couple of Input Boxes: 1 that would let me click on the column where the data NEEDS to go & 1 that would let me tell it (either by typing the worksheet name or by clicking on the worksheet " PREFERRED " where the data come from)!
So, I spent the entire day yesterday trying to make any of that work & can NOT figure it out! I got the macro to pop up the first input box, & can key in the column letter, but clicking OK doesn't do anything. Yesterday, I had it so I could click OK & the box would go away, but nothing else happened & the second box wouldn't work right.
THEN, I started trying to figure out how to do an array formula in a macro & my head nearly exploded! I have a terrible time trying to understand written descriptions if they're in "tech speak", so it was all greek to me.
Here is all the farther I got with the macro:
Code:
Sub ClearingRsch()
' Jenny 10092011
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.DisplayAlerts = False

I am using data validation to restrict the number of Characters a user can input in a range of cells. The number of characters in this however can vary based on which selection they selected in a different cell.
To put this as an example, if the user selects "hello" in cell a1, the data validation would allow 10 letters in the cell range c1:c20. If the person selects "goodbye" in cell a1, then the validation would only allow 7 characters in cell range c1:c20. I have been using the worksheet Change function, however it updates the validation regardless of what cell is changed.
In my "cover" sheet I click the allocate cover button and it then generates a list of data below the first table. This generated data now needs to update the "timetable" sheet by using the "allocated cover teacher" and "period" cells as a reference to then input the class code into the timetable at this time.

I would like to delete a column using data validation list. for example :
i have a data validation INPUT list in cell A1 (Part No., Supplier 1, Supplier 2, Supplier 3) the heading start from B2,C2,D2,E2,F2. If user select Supplier 1 from data validation list in cell A1, the column Supplier 1 [c2] should be deleted.
And/or also if in cell B1 have a data validation INPUT row list (Part no.) & if user select part no.,
the selected part no. row should be deleted.
I have a situation where I need a macro to reference another cell in the sheet if the cell is left blank. If the user wants to edit the value, they have the option to manually input a value but if they decide to leave it blank, it autopopulates the referenced cell.

I want to be able to see the average rating for each employee.. Is there a way to put in the rating from one survey and have it automatically add it another cell and then have it clear the first cell?
Here is an example of what I would like to do: Say we get 2 surveys with one rating of 5 and one rating of 10... If I input the 5 into cell Q4 and have it automatically put into cell R4 and then it gets deleted from Q4 but saved to R4... and then I can add the rating of 10 to Q4 and it automatically ads it to R4 and clears Q4 and totals R4 to an average of 7.5.
This way, with each new survey I can just input each rating to Q4 and have it cleared for the next rating and then have an average rating of all the surveys in R4... we do not need to keep track of how many ratings we are getting, just the average rating.

I want to put progress indicator for data input in Excel.
The data input is in cell A1 until A10, and B1 until B10.
So, I need two progress indicator (for cell A & B).
Situation: I have an Excel file with multiple worksheets. Each of these worksheets contain the same rules for data validation in a certain column (G).
Problem: If I want to add an item to the data validation lists I have to edit every single worksheet. I've tried making a seperate worksheet containing data validation items and using that as the source for the data validation rule, but Excel doesn't allow me to switch worksheets while defining the source.
In other words, I want to manage my data validation rules of multiple columns in multiple worksheets in one central location.
I have a data table that looks like this:
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
2.00%
276.04
[Code]....
all the RATE numbers are manually entered.
now, if i reference the 3.00% number under the RATE column to the INPUT cell that I entered when I setup the data table, this happens:
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
[Code]....
this is obviously not correct, it is the value for the entry above.
and...
if i make ALL of the RATE cells then relative to the 3.00% one... (in other words 2.00% is actually =A5-0.01 and 4% is actually =A5+0.01)
i get...
RATE
Monthly
289.68
1.00%
262.81
2.00%
250.00
[Code]...
this is weird b/c the number for the first one and last one never change, but all the ones in-between change.
incidentally, the formula which is being solved is simply a 30k loan pmt for 10yrs ( =PMT(RATE/12,120,30000)*-1 )
Is there a way to create a data table where the input cell is not on the same sheet as the table? I've tried using a named range, and can't make that work.

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.
I am currently doing an excel database of students application. I want a macro that creates a duplicate of a template sheet and renaming it based on the name of the student. Meaning once a name appears in the name cell, a sheet of that particular name is automatically created. At the same time, i want all the data regarding the applying student to appear the newly created sheet as shown in the attached file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table of data which I would like to filter based on a manual cell input instead of the autofilter option.
The table has tickers in column B and has information from column B to U. I would like to filter the data based on a manual ticker that I enter.
When i use
Code:
=IF(ISBLANK(I31);"";I31-IF(ISNUMBER(J31);J31;0))
The cell gives me an error, i think because I31 has a formula that returns no value.
How can i stop the formula if cell I31 gives me no data??
Not sure if this is possible or if I would need to run a VB macro. image multiple columns with text headers.
'A'=Project Number 'B'= Date 'C'=Description etc etc etc 'S'=Cancelled (i actually use up to 'Z' on the columns for various other data)
I have added a Conditional Format on the cells in column 'S' that if the cell data = Y then colour the cell RED. This at first glance will show that the project has been cancelled. What I would like it to do is to colour the complete row (shaded grey for example) this would then show up more easily with the amount of data that is on my sheet.
This is probably far easier then I am making it but I need to take the information that is in a textbox created through the control toolbox and copy and paste that information into a cell on different tab in the workbook.

Thus David with DOB 13 Sep 1982 be marked Oldest in Column B and David with DOB 25 Aug 1988 be marked Older and David with DOB 24 May 1990 be marked Old. Similarly William and Rita should be marked either old or older or oldest. As the data are enormous I do not want to refer the actual name in the programming. I want to call them using a variable in programming.
