I am trying to automate the cleaning and compiling of some data, in fact its quite a lot of data, there will be about 200,000 lines over several spreadsheets.
Determine the width of the data on spreadsheet1
Determine the rows with empty cells at the bottom of spreadsheet1
"now that I know the dimensions of this rectangle"
Copy a rectangle (with the same dimensions as the one on sheet1) of data from sheet2
And paste this rectangle into sheet1...
"This is the point of the excercise, I cannot have any gaps in the data (this includes at the end of a spreadsheet) as it needs to be a continous flow from one shreadsheet to another"
This is what I have done so far... I understand if it is laughable, I've only been doing this a couple of days.
Sub HowMuchSpace()
' No. of columns
Dim bWidthOfColumns
Range(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(":*", ":*").Cells.SpecialCells _(xlCellTypeConstants).Count).Value = bWidthOfColumns
'No. of rows
Dim lNumOfRows
Range("*:*").Value = lNumOfRows
I want to put a length in one cell and a width in another. Then have excel draw a square/ rectangle to this size. It could just outline cells, each cell being one inch or any other way.
Ive managed to get a rectangle blinking using a do loop. But I need more than one blinking at the same time. Atm when another starts blinking the first stops.
If I graph a straight line and on several points on this line I want to graph rectangles, how would I calculate the corners of these rectangles.
The rectangles will not always stand 90 degrees on the line. This difference from 90 degrees is in cell L6 The direction of the line is known and the sides of each rectangle is known as well as the center of the rectangle (in meters N or S and E or W). Currently I have the direction of the line in cell L5, the long side of the rectangle in cell L3 and the short side of the rectangle in cell L4. The centers of the rectangles are in rows 1 and 2 of columns M, N, O etc. For instance cell M1 = 450 (N) and cell M2 = 400 (E). The corners are to be calculated in reference to the values in these cells.
I have been calculating it long hand with a calculator but that takes me a long time and they tend to change things quite regularly. I have to incorporate this with macros that draw the line sition but I have that. Going clockwise from the right top around they would be called corner A, B, C and D.
I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.
I already have the code to import the picture but i would like it to have rounded corner's. The option if you select the picture then tick format, picture shape and it's the second rectangle in. I can not seem to find that particular piece of code for that particular shape. The other comparison is the (reflected beveled, black) option under picture format.
I have put together a simple example of my problem. There is two buttons and one text-box "TextBox 1". When I use the following code:
[Code] .........
I get one button to hide the textbox and the other to show it. Initially the textbox has the textbox properties (you can type in it) but when I hide it and show it again using the two buttons the textbox becomes like a rectangle shape which I can not type in and can only click.
How do I hide and show the text box whilst keeping it as a text box?
Is there a way in excel to say if i select Item1 and it is 100mm x 30mm x 100mm, excel will say this will fit into a compartment called A1 and may also fit into a compartment called B6.
I have a list of all the compartments and what the internal dimensions are. So is it just a matter of saying if these dimensions are within those of the compartment then that item will fit in.
I have a list of some what 6000 Items that have dimensions. I may pick 200 or so of these items to fit into special compartments of a machine. Because of the varying sizes i need to know what compartment each item will fit in so i can build a machine big enough and get the right size compartments.
My macro prduces some text ang a graph on the screen and I can print the result. Ok so far. But when I run this macro in a different screen resolution, the layout of the page is disturbed: the graph is on the wrong place and the dimensions of the graph are different.
Of course I can drag and resize the graph and include this proces also in the macro but I think this is not the right way. My question is: are in VBA commands which can fix the graph to a location on the sheet/screen and adjust the graph to the requested heighth and width?
I am working with a dynamically declared array. Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get the dimensions of the array so that I can work with them? e.g. to loop through the array.
I have an autoshape rectangle which is linked to a cell on my spreadsheet. This cell will auto update whenever i type a number into a different cell (match and index formula).
I want the colour of the rectangle to be green, amber. red or black depending the value my formula brings back. I have managed to do this but the colour does not automatically update. Also when the colour goes black i will need the font in the text box to be white, at all other tines it will be black.
I am trying to graph dimension measurements that are automatically added as a new worksheet upon completion of a CMM program. Do I need to move all of my data to one work sheet to be able to graph it or is it possible to call the same cell on multiple sheets? Also is there a way to set the graph up so that it updates the information every time a new sheet is added? I have a sample workbook attached that only list one dimension the actual workbook will have many dimensions listed. Sheet 1 is blank and sheets 2-4 contain the information from the CMM.
I have a worksheet with many dimensions and I would like to have a formula or macro to do the following: I need to check 4 different columns that have dimensions and calculate the best combinations in order to fit within the least amount of 96 inch boards.
I'm a bit uncertain if my named range has turned out the way i want it to.. Is their anyway of finding the dimensions of my namned range, i.e. # of rows and columns?
I am a woodworker. I have a CAD program that gives me a cut list of all the parts I need. I then take this list into Excel and do some stuff with the data.
all the dimensions are in fractional inches where ' is used to designate feet and " designates inches. I use the find and replace command to get rid of the ' and ". if the dimension is just a fraction like 3/4 Excel thinks this is a date and displays march 4th. I have tried formatting the cells to numbers before i do the find replace with no luck.
I have a lot of carton dimensions that are always presented in the same manner and would like to be able to split the individual dimensions into seperate columns. The format is always: Length Width Height. Presentation of data is always ???x???x??? or ??x??x??? (ie two or three chrs seperated by the letter X). If the full string is stored in column A I would like B to display Length, C the Width and D the Height. I find it easy to use LEFT for Length but struggling with Width and Height which I'm sure are easy, just can't get my head around it.
I am working now on macros changing the datas in a pivot table created from a OLAP cube. I have there some hierarchic dimensions in the format of Category.Group.Item etc. When creating a macro with recorder i get something like this...
Is somewhere out there any tutorial to that [All Dim_Item] thing? ... cause i feel there IS what i need, that with some cunning command i could show an item without knowing his group and category, but i cant get the macro working.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet containing a table of dimensions that are multiples of up to six loadable variables. I work for a stainless steel tank manufacturer. The body of tanks are formed from coil stock of varying widths. Typically these might be 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and possibly 1800mm as well as the imperial equivalents. This could mean up to eight variables but in reality all are unlikely at any one given time.
We are told the volume that the tank is required to contain and a target preferred diameter. The theoretical height is therefore derived from this information. But now comes the tricky bit. It is desirable, to minimise cost of welding by minimising the number of strakes or wrappers. Can anyone give me a formula or whatever that can be used to do this and hopefully generate a table of close heights up to say 40 meters. Thus allowing an operator to select from say five presented options.
I have a table in a spreadsheet that the three principal widths of 1200mm 1500mm and 2000mm generate. It was created for me a while ago by a gentleman working at the Amsterdam Museum that I’m happy to send for perusal. The trouble is he never told me how he did it and no matter how hard I try, I cannot discover the method or formula. The first column gives the total combined height, the second the number of 1200mm wrappers, the third the number of 1500mm and the last the number of 2000mm. It is that simple
In my business I deal with a ton of different dimensions for my products. A lot of times the dimension will be within the cell as follows, "Product A 17x27 Brown", is in a single cell.
Is it even possible to write a code or formula that will find the "17x27" in the description, recognize it as a "dimension" and then run the formula that I need which is
I have a worksheet that contains a number of ActiveX image controls, which have been scaled to a uniform height to serve as thumbnails.
I have also created a class, where each instance is initialized with one of these image controls, and events (specifically the on click event) are captured. When the user clicks the picture, it opens a userform containg the same picture. However, I'd like that picture to be at its original size, not the scaled-down size.
how can I determine the original dimensions of a picture used in an image control? I can tell that the original resolution is there (by changing the PictureSizeMode to clip), but I can't find any properties that show me how big that image actually is, only ones that return or set the size of the object itself.
Is it possible to have a userform open in a workbook and when the data from the form is saved, save it to a completely different workbook. If so, will that other workbook need to be open for the userform data to be saved?
I have created one Info path solution to gather information from different locations to one hidden Access database. And in last month or two I already have more than 30 000 entries in database. On other side I have created 2 excel workbooks, one for purpose of report that has all connection done through VBA, user just opens it, clicks button and gets report and one workbook that is for other set of users so they can change 2 specific columns of data, everything else is locked. When one department fills value it should fill based on gathered information, and clicks save that cell or cells are being locked.
At first I did on worksheet change event, when user changes a cell (enters information) it triggers worksheet_change event and saves that value in database and colours cell green. But, then users start complaining that when they use copy paste or the use fill paste option (just pull value from one cell to others) it does not save value. Ok ... that is because worksheet_change event does not trigger in situation when copy paste in any form occurs.
So how to solve it ... when pulling data in excel I pull identical table (data) in other hidden worksheet. When they change what they need to change, they click button "save to database" i have created and there is a macro that makes other sheet visible, goes through the records and saves where cell value in table that is being entered is different then same cell in hidden table.
Problem is that sometimes my code works without a problem and sometimes they get an error. I cannot figure out when. When a lot of users use that excel file, for some users it is a read only file, and as I presume that is ok, because macro works in any case and data are stores in database so excel file itself does not have to be saved.
i get an excel file with dynamic data everyday. is there away i can use a macro on this file to store this dynamic data to a specfic closed workbook and add the data onto the old data in that workbook?
Is it possible to have a userform open in a workbook and when the data from the form is saved, save it to a completely different workbook. If so, will that other workbook need to be open for the userform data to be saved?
I am working on a project in which I used a formula and created a kind of a software.what I need to do is that after my user enters certain data it is sent to a worksheet(as directed).now I want that data to remain saved there even when I am changing the inputs in the formula. what is happening is that my previous data is getting erased when I enter new variables to the formula .
