I have a macro that I am running "onentry" of a worksheet. The problem is that I have some cells that are validated to allow a list. If I manually type a word from the list in the validated cell the macro runs. However, if I make a selection from the list the macro does not run. I guess vba does not see my selection as an entry.
View 9 RepliesI have a worksheet containing a cell (say A1) that has a validated list of times (data/validation/list) where the cells in the list contain times in 8 minute increments. The user can select cell A1 and manually select any of the validated times from the list. A vlookup formula on this worksheet uses the content of cell A1 to look for this time in another section of the worksheet. When the time is selected manually, the vlookup formula works properly.
As part of a macro, the macro will change the time in cell A1. I do this in the macro by selecting and copying the desired time from the validation list and pasting it into A1. Cell A1 does change to the new value, however the vlookup formula that uses A1 shows a result of #N/A. If I manually change the time, it again works. I am looking for a way to have the macro change this cell to another time and for the vlookup formula to work as it should.
Here is the Scenario what I am into.
Row 1 Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6 Total
Row 2 10 "A" 19 "A" 13 "A" 42
Row 3 1 "A" 9 "B" 10 "A" 11
I was trying to have a formula which would add all values in the total column of that row whose adjacent cell has "A" in it . I am not sure if I am clear enough in my explanation but my example above is more clear want I meant .
I tried posting the same post earlier but I guess I was able to explain the same . I was trying to put the formula which will give the total column with a value in which it all gives addition of those values who's adjacent cell as "A" in it in the row .
Col1
Col2
Col3

I'm trying to write macro for hiding columns based on a drop down answer. The drop down would be in cell B7 on Sheet 1. The colums affected would be in each worksheet in the workbook. The data validation would have a drop down selection choice of 1 through 16. The columns affected range would be H through W. For example, in the drop down if 1 was selected, only column H would show. If two, H and I would show...etc. This macro should affect all worksheets in the workbook EXCEPT sheet 1.

Here's the piece of the Change macro that has issues. Specifically, the .undo line highlights.
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
Set SelectedCell = ActiveCell
myTitle = Cells(Range("Titles").Row, Target.Column).Value
myRow = Target.Row
.Undo: myBefore = Target.Value
.Undo: myAfter = Target.Value
SelectedCell.Select
I'm inputing quite a bit of data and need to copy certain elements into another sheet in the same workbook if a certain cell is valid.
For example, what I need to do is:
Each cell in column D can either be a Yes or No.
So if I enter Yes in D3 I need it to copy cells A3 and C3 into the next available row in Sheet 2. End result is that if there are 40 cells in Sheet 1 Column D that have Yes.
Then there are 40 rows that are now populated in Sheet 2
i am using user form to run some macro and i like that after running macro the cursor will return to the active cell , at the moment the cursor located on the user form.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere's a macro I'm trying to figure out for a calendar I'm working on. Here's what it has to do.
1.) Selects the cells for the current month (I assume the user would have to click on the current month itself) plus the two upcoming months. i.e. November, plus December and January.
2.) Sets the selected cells as the area to print, then prints those cells.
If there's anything that might be a challenge, the numbers for the days are all text boxes, if that makes a difference. I've been experimenting with different formulas with no luck.
I need to clear the contents of every other cell in a selection of 5000 rows starting with the first cell. Is there a macro that can do this for me?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do is definetly simple to a lot of you, but I'm struggling on how to get started. I attached a workbook that clearly shows my work! I'm almost there but not quiet. Basically the user will be able to make a slection that will be used to lookup values from a different sheet. Each selection triggers a ranking number at the bottom (red pattern) in the worksheet. Now I would like to capture all scenarios and display the ranking.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date
2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application.
3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered.
4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim m
ad = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1)
m = Range(ad & 24).Value 'here a formula "CountA(A2,A20)" will be place in the cell (24, c).......................
In Column G I have a Drop down list of dates. In Column H I want to show the month for the dates, as per when they are selected. I tried simple doing in cell H2 "=G2" they changing the format of the cell for just the month. which worked but for the cells in H that haven't had a dates selected yet it brings back January-00 all the way down. I need a way of getting rid of the January-00 but having the cells ready so that wen the date in G is selected the month auto appears in H.

Do not use validated drop down lists in merged cells.

This area of my worksheet, Sheets("ACTIVITY").Range("AM2:AM172"), is currently populated by text values from a dynamic, validated list, 'DEL_2'.
Is there a simple way to effectively 'toggle' (on/off) data validation - maybe with right-click - in this area, so that the user can type what they want if their chosen option can't be found in DEL_2?
I need a formula that allows me to autofill a cell with "X" kind of data after I choose a validated data of Cell A1;
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was some way to auto update or resync values in data validated lists which are dependant on information in other cells.
I attach my spreadsheet. My list in Cell F32 changes depending on what has been selected in cell F31. However, my problem is that, until you select cell F32, it still keeps the previous value on display, if you know what I mean. So! What I would like to happen, is when I select a different option in cell F31, then I would like cell F32 to update and show the first available option from the new list?
I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build an investment calculator. Tried searching "calculator" as keyword but return nothing similiar.
There are eight cell : [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ][h]
[ H ] is price of the leverage
[A] is X balance
[b] is X lot size
[C] is X amount of money use to get x lot
[D] is X percentage of money use to get x lot
[E] is X point gain
[f] is X money gain
[G] is balance + money gain
Ignore the formulae for leverage to determine 1 lot price. Take 1 lot = 250.
What I'm looking for is when I enter any value at cell B, C or D, it will automatically calculate the value for either B, C or D cell.
Let say, the balance is 10000.
If I enter 2 at cell B. Then, it will calculate the value for cell C & D.
If I enter 750 at cell C, then it will calculate value for cell B & D.
If I enter 25 at cell D, it will calculate value for cell B & C.

I seem to be getting myself into a complete muddle as was wondering if someone to help me with a Printing problem.
On the attached sample, i'm trying to write a macro to print the selection but only print where the status is "Active" to the ned of the selection. However, the spreadsheet is changing on a daily basis i.e. new lines being added and lines being taken off.
So, to take potential of user error out i wanted a macro to print the "active" selection.
This is a piece of code from a macro that i am altering. I keep getting an error when i get to the 2nd line.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have data in cells C3 through E3, then a blank column, followed by data in cells G3 through I3. When I use excel to record a macro, it produces the following.
Range("C3").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
However, when I run the macro, it only selects cells C3 through E3. How do I get it to continue through the blank column? I tried to make this example as simple as possible.
Is there any way this code (below) can be modified so that the macro runs without actually selecting the sheet it requires. The reason for this is so i can hide the sheet (Column Output 3) from view so the data isnt displayed. at the moment the sheet is on view and i would rather it werent. this is the code i have

I need a macro that can cut and paste a selection of 3 cells to a location one row above and 3 cells to the left. I want to run it each time manually from the right cell among the 3. the macro should therefore (when standing on the right cell of the 3):
1. select 2 more cells to the left
2. cut the selection
3. move 3 cells to the left and one cell up
4. paste
5. move the cursor back to the starting location

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm having some problems with range selection in macros. Basically, what the macro does is Copy / Paste as Values in differet sectors of an active worksheet, so this is the code for each range of cells that I need to copy paste:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("C14:E15").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
The problem with this code, is that because it specifies EXACTLY which range to select, if I add a row before that range the macro will be now selecting an incorrect range.
For example, say I have a value on cell A5, and the macro is set up to copy/paste that cell. Later on, I decide to add a row in A3, so the value I would need to copy/paste will now be in A6, but the macro will still execute on A5 (incorrect, as it should now execute in A6, and that is what I have to manually correct each time).
I have is two spreadsheets with different data on them, but the only connector is the user ID, so I want the cell I select with the user ID to be copied it then switches to the other spreadsheet and finds the copied selection, it then takes the columns on the selection of A to J and pastes them back in the other columns in the other spreadsheet.
My only real problem is that I can't get it to use the selection.copy in the find to select the cells I need, any help would be great, thanks.
Code ( i put spaces bewteen the other parts and find function so you could easily see it):
Sub Macro1()
Selection.Copy
Windows("EMERA-employees-asof-06-Mar-2007.xls").Activate
Cells.Find(What:="(I want this to be selection.copy)", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Columns("A:J").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Windows("SMSReportResults.xls").Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
I've recorded a macro which selects "1" in a filter drop-down box then prints some pages, then comes back and selects "2" in the filter then prints some pages, etc etc etc.
I've looked at the code for this and it treats the "1", and the "2" etc as text each time - originally I had the filter on names, but the names change each time I need to do this whilst the process doesn't, so I filtered on numbers instead.
However, I would have to enter the repeated blocks of code down to 1000 to get it to select down to "1000" in the filter. About 3/4 lines each time but with me manually typing in 1, 2, 3, 4 .... 999, 1000.
Is there a way to say in VBA 'repeat filter selection until you've run out of numbers then come back to "All" and stop ?
