Running A Chart Macro On Selected Cells And Repeating It
Feb 5, 2010
I have figured out how to write a macro to make charts for me automatically, but it only runs the macro on the exact same range every time.
I have about 100 different students to make charts for and would really like to find a way to do it more automatically
Is there a way to write a Macro so that I can run the same steps on a different range (same number of rows and columns)?
Edit: having learned from my first post, I am adding more information.
the first chart is from the data in the range from B5-H7
the next chart would be from the data in the range from B11-H13
The charts are not evenly spaced from each other. I will need to select the range (same size) each time.
I can record the Macro, I just can't apply it where ever I want to.

Just started using Macros on Excel.
I recorded a Macro that would take a value of a particular cell and add that value to the selected cell in the same row. However, this macro just runs on one cell and I want it to run on the entire row.
This may seem like a trivial issue but I've been racking my brain for the last couple of days to figure it out.
Here is the VBA code of the Macro I recorded. It adds the cell value to another cell with formulas already in it as you will see below:
Sub SpreadingTest15()
'
' SpreadingTest15 Macro
'
'
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(MarRF!RC9=""Trade"",IFERROR(IF(RC12=""BL"",RC13/12,INDEX('Variable Data'!R4C2:R16C17,MATCH('1410-Rev'!RC14,'Variable Data'!R4C2:R16C2,0),MATCH('1410-Rev'!R14C,'Variable Data'!R4C2:R4C17,0))*RC13),0),IF(RC14=R14C,RC13,0))+(RC35)"
ActiveCell.Select
End Sub

Basically, I have a sheet that shows time in Days going downwards (monday tuesday etc.) and is broken out by week. In Column C, I have Project Names. Columns G-O have numbers.
What I need to do is run a custom sort multiple times down the page so that each week has been sorted by Project Name (column C). I was hoping to be to just make a quick macro shortcut to run my custom sort and each new range I selected but I don't know how to make the macro run on the actively selected cells and not hard-coded cells.

I've written code to create sheets and populate them with data from other sheets. Other subs then work through each row in those sheets to find data for summary sheets. I've frozen the panes on each sheet so that the header rows are always shown. The problem is that after all the code is run, the 'view' on each sheet is the bottom of the table of data (because each row has been worked through in turn) when actually I want my users to see the top row of data. I've tried selecting and activating cell A5 (top of my table) in the last few lines of code (after all the other subs have run) but neither seems to do the trick. There must be a way to specifiy which part of the sheet is visible after running code.

I need to create a simple stopwatch program to store the times and write details concerning each time. I got the stopwatch to work, but everytime i try to enter a cell to write in information(while the stopwatch is counting up), the stopwatch stops counting.
Is there any way to enter data while the stopwatch/macro is running?

I want to be able to select a cell, for example A10, this would then run a macro that would copy and paste several cells of information along that row and paste it on another worksheet. However, if i then choose a15, a3, a79 in turn (using the control key), it would run the macro using those rows in turn.
i'm looking forward to hearing if and particuliar how this could be achieved.

sorting data I use in a workbook for athletics. I've really chopped down my workbook for upload, In the worksheet "Leaderboard" I can call up stats for different lifts, and it finds (in this case) the top 5 lifts and the names for the kids that have those corresponding lifts.
My problem is that when two or more kids have the same lift, it will only call up the name of the first instance of that lift. You can see this in the "Leaderboard" worksheet, and the name "Adams, Andrew" appears for both lifts of 75. I would appreciate any help on how to correct this, as I've searched the Internet for weeks now looking for a solution. I've tried experimenting with different things as well, all to no avail.

I am looking for a macro or function (VBA) that will modifiy the value of the selected cell or cells. the code should support selection of one cell, a range or multiple ranges.
I envision the user making his range selection(s). Activating a function or clicking a button that would pop open a modal window. The user would have the option to either adjust the values by a % change (i.e. up or down 7%), or incremental change (i.e. up olr down 100 units). The function would overite the value in the cells.
Has anyone ever done something similar? Is it hard to program?

i m trying to set up a macro to convert a range of user-highlighted(selected) cells to 3 significant figures: for example, convert 0.135564 to 0.136
the equation i found elsewhere online: ROUND(xx,3-(1+INT(LOG10(ABS(xx))))). but i can't quite figue out how to apply the equation to a selected range of cells via a macro.

I have a worksheet with ever expanding data - rows at the bottom of the data
are continually added. I have a simple macro that sorts all of the data
according to preset parameters and selects the next blank cell in column A,
ready for more data:
Sub Macro5()
Range("SortRange").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("SortRange"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:= _
xlTopToBottom
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = IsEmpty(True)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Loop
End Sub
When running the Macro, this leaves all of the cells in the range 'selected'
(ie; coloured-over). What do I need to add to the Macro to just select the
cell in Column A and remove the highlighting from all the other cells?

The concept is to have a user open a sheet that breaks down that current day into 15 minute blocks of time. Later, I will work to append that to an Access DB or to a master Excel sheet as I will have multiple engineers inputing times for multiple days. There are multiple paths for this....We don't have Access for everyone yet or I would look at that path now.
Right now I am trying to make the initial input screen easy to use so that they actually use it.
I want to allow the user to select multiple 15 minute blocks and then click a button that adds a specific value to each of those cells. For instance, they might choose 8 15 min blocks that are not necessarily blocked together (C5, C7:C10, C15, C20:C22) They would hit the "Project 1" button and "Project 1" would be inserted into each of those cells.
I have about (5) categories so I would simply have (5) buttons with the different inptu strings.
But how can I have a macro set the value for multiple selected cells? Ideally, they would not have to be blocked together but, if there is no other way, if I could have blocks of cells filled in all at once.
I am using Excel 2010.
only a few of us have Access but I will be the only one accessing the collected data. Besides, I would make Excel query the Access DB for more general use. I

I have a spread sheet with large number of data, problem is all are in various currency so rather than typing =#####.##/a1 in every cell to get the GBP amount (a1 where my exchange rate is linked) I thought if there is macro can do this job for rme.
So what i need is macro which once run enter the formula after the numbers already in the cell in selected or given range.

How I can deselect the selected cells before ending the macro. Ihave a workbook containing about 40 sheets, and need to clear the same cells on 31 of them. I have attempted to define a name for the range, and actually got it to work once, however it ceased working on the second attempt, and I don’t know why. I have therefore gone back to the original code as posted below.
My questions are a) how can I deselect all the cells and b ) how can I use a defined name for the range so that I can use something like clear contents and not have to select the cells?
(I have also cleared all unlocked cells previously, but I have some unlocked cells in the other sheets I do not wish to clear).
Subnewmonth()
' newmonthMacro
IfMsgBox("This deletes all data, do you wish to continue?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
Sheets(Array("1","2", "3", "4", "5", "6","7", "8", "9", "10", "11","12", "13", "14", "15", _
"16", "17","18", "19", "20", "21", "22","23", "24", "25")).Select
Sheets("1").Activate
Sheets(Array("26","27", "28", "29", "30","31")).Select Replace:=False

I'm trying to create a macro that will change the color of the cells I've selected to green. My selection will vary depending on what cells I'm trying to color green (not a fixed range). My current code only changes one cell of my selected range:
Sub IN_PCA()
'
' IN_PCA Macro
'
'
ActiveCell.Select
Range("M243").Activate
With Selection.Interior

I've tried using "ActiveRange" in lieu of "ActiveCell" as well as other commands that would seem to be correct but have failed.

write a macro - Condition: When i select "Audit Round" = "Round 1" in B2 and press a button it will automatically copy data from B5:B8 and paste special value in C5:C8. Likewise if I select "Audit Round" = "Round 2" in B2 then it should lookup "Round 2" in "Row 4" and paste special values from B5:B8.
Here an example:

I have a folder "D:Documents and SettingsRakesh", which has many .xls files. Each file has a sheet called 'Cover Note'. I want to copy cells B2, C2, D4 and F3 from 'Cover Note' of each file.
These cells should be pasted in the current sheet, one row for each file. First cell of each row should have the source file name.
It would be better if macro can prompt to select the directory where ther source files resides.

I have a dropdownmanu in sheet1 with different countries taken from Column A in Sheet3. I need a macro to run when i select a country example Denmark. It will fill out transmittal code and also country code in named cells for it in sheet1. Info taken from Sheet3
Transmittal code is in below testsheet in Sheet1 cell E12.
Country code is in Sheet1 cell.
But this have to be possible to change. Also the range for the country have to be possible to change.
This vba code i need to run as soon as i select a country in the dropdown manu.
But one thing i would like to solve also is. When i select a country it will create a dropdownlist in I13 taken from the info in column, i have in Sheet3 column F. So if i select example Denmark, it will show a dropdown menu in sheet1 I13, with the ledger codes 10 and 6x. I have tried to make this work but cant make it work good.
I use excel 2003. Please have a look and upload the testsheet back.

I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB:
Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String
Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs
sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB:
If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True

I have a macro that is working fine. It calculates some values based on a SQL database and then copy the values and paste them into another spreadsheet.
However, I need to repeat the same procedure 1296 times.
Please see below the macro.
Sheets("QUERIES").Select
Range("C1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
Range("C5").Select
Selection.QueryTable.REFRESH BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("D5").Select
Selection.QueryTable.REFRESH BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("C5:G5").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("AWB RANGE").Select
Range("K2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
I need to increment the line #3 (ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2") that should start with 2 and end with 1296.
Also, I need to increment the line #11 (Range("K2").Select) that should start with K2 until K1296.
The other parts of the macro will not change.
Would you be able please to give me a hand on this explaining how to create a counter to start on 2 and stop with 1296 ?

I have a column that tells whether an adjacent cell is positive or negative. I'm trying to come up with a macro/formula that will tell me how long (# of rows going down) a negative or positive sign repeats before changing.
So it would go down the column and count the rows where the same sign repeats. Once the SIGN switches from + to - or - to + the number goes back to 0. Essentially counting the cells that move in one direction (+ or -).
For example. if A1 = +, A2 = +, A3 = +, A4 = +, A5 = -, A6 = + then it would count A1:A4 and output 4 in B4, meaning that the numbers have stayed negative for 4 rows. For A4:A5 nothing should appear as this sign change we don't want to record. Same for A5:A6. I don't know how to make a formula/macro to identify a repeating SIGN, and then dynamically count all those rows until the sign changes. Does this make sense? I've been beating my head against the desk trying to figure it out with no luck.

I have a strange problem with a spreadsheet I've set up. It has several tabs with multiple information on each. The sums on each individual tab are linked to the front tab (which I've used as a summary page), but I haven't put any other links in.
For some reason, when I type anything in certain cells on one of the tabs (including the summary but not just that), it appears also on all the others, not necessarily in the same place. If I delete it on the the other tabs where it shouldn't be, it deletes the original on the correct tab, which I want to keep. This has been going on for ages, it annoyed me so much I completely recreated the spreadsheet, from scratch, but it's still happening.

working on grouping coordinates because he we wants to simplify data. But he works manually and it eats his time. He has some sheets with data. I suppose there are 7 sheets. Each sheet has coordinates shown on example below. Also there are intervals between pairs of columns, so there will be column A with B, interval of two columns C & D, column E & F and interval of two columns G & H and so on (altogether about 10 columns of coordinates per sheet). Every coordinate begins with argument '1' and increasing gradually by 1 (it is column A). Second column shows values of arguments. But some are repeating, some not. I would like to double these coordinates, where in one argument is only one value (for example these are row 1. and 11.). If there are two the same values I would keep them. But if there will be more values than two, for example row 5. - 8., I would delete row 6. and 7. from the middle. But border coordinates should be kept (row 5. and 8.) and split by moving up lower coordinate to it with rest coordinates. But I want do it separately for every two columns which contains these coordinates, so if I delete coordinates from columns A and B and split boundary coordinates I don't want do it for columns E&F, I&J...

I have a set of data with values and dates (call the dates 'raw dates'). I have added 3 columns with formulae in them as follows:
Year =YEAR('raw date')
Month =TEXT('raw date',"mmm")
Day ='raw date', formatted as "d".
I have a pivot chart with three Axis Fields. In order they are: Year, Month and Day. This is so that the chart itself has three layers of x-axis names (year, month and day) rather than a whole load of dates which looks messy.
I would like to show the values as a running total "in" the raw dates of the data.
When I show the values as "Running Total in" 'raw dates', I get a load of #NAs in the pivot table because the raw dates are not in the Axis Fields. If I select Running totals "in" the Days (which is included in the pivot table setup), I get running totals over each month, starting at zero on the first date in each month. I need to have the running total run over the course of the whole data set, not mini running totals in each month.
When I choose only the 'raw dates' in the axis fields (i.e. taking out Year, Month and Day), running total works fine. The only thing is that I lose the nice looking x-axis. Adding the raw dates to the other 3 Axis Fields also doesn't work - it doesn't even try to give a running total at all, just the original values.
how to achieve a running total without sacrificing the x-axis?
