I know how to hit F2 in order to see which cells are highlighted within the current sheet.
How can I go over to the other sheets that the current formula has in order to see which cells are highligthed?
I cannot run code from the formula bar.
I have a context sensitive menu
Sub AddContextMenu()
On Error Resume Next
Application. CommandBars("formula bar").FindControl(msoControlButton, 0, "MYMENU").Delete
On Error Goto 0
Dim objTemp As CommandBarButton
With Application.CommandBars("formula bar")
Set objTemp = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , .Controls.Count + 1, True)
With objTemp
.Caption = "Formula Menu"
.BeginGroup = True
.OnAction = "TestMe"
.Tag = "MYMENU"
End With............
I am using a lot of double click routines in my sheet. In order for the sheet to be more user friendly I have used the comments of cells to tell the user what to do. For instance "Double click to choose type" or some such. Everything works great except that after the user selects what they want from the userform and it hides and the focus comes back to the sheet, the comment is in edit mode. While this is not horrible it is not as nice as I would like. I have tried to have my code send the active cell to another cell and then back, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the comments from going into edit mode?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to write code to paste a string in text select (double click in a cell) mode rather than cell select (single click a cell) mode? I need a string to paste in as if someone had double clicked then hit paste (so as to utilize special delimiters.) Here is the code that reads the workbook, finds the next available row, then pastes:
Dim strCopyToLog As String
strCopyToLog = Range("Q2")
Range("Q2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("b1.b5000").Find("").Select
ActiveCell.Value = strCopyToLog
I have Form Button in Excel Sheet which Calculates by reading other excel sheet. Now the problem is when user enters data in a Cell by double Clicking on it and after entering data if he directly clicks on a button then Macro that needs to be invoked is NOT executed. The only way is that he needs to press EnterKey OR Click on any other Cell and then click on the button.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have users who don't press Enter (or move to a new cell) after entering text. They then try to click a form button - and of course - the macro does not run.
Is there an xl/vba solution to force them out of edit mode before clicking the button?
In an Excel worksheet all command buttons are disabled while a cell is in edit mode or while the cursor is active in the formula bar. Is there a way in VBA to save the cell's contents and execute a command button if clicked while a cell is in edit mode?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like my custom menus to act like builtin menus - specifically I would like them to be disabled (grayed out or even entirely removed) when the application is in Cell Edit Mode (I cant believe I am the first to ask about this but I cant find the answer elsewhere).
It sure seems confusing to offer users access to a seemingly active command when it does not run (in edit mode I mean).
I send huge lumps of Karma to any willing to share ideas or solutions.
A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen a user clicks a cell in Column A, VBA will enter the date in the cell (in the form MMDDYY) and will position the insertion pointer at the end of the date. The user can then enter a four digit number following the MMDDYY. In this worksheet, Column A holds a transaction number, which is always in the form MMDDYYXXXX. I am trying to save the user the trouble of entering the MMDDYY, since it will always be today's date.

Is there a way to edit my database located on sheet 1 using the advanced filter (output) on sheet 2?
I have a gigantic database and I want to filter it down to the rows I need to edit.. so I used advanced filter to extract the rows I need on to another sheet. But if I edit the rows on sheet 2 how do I makes those changes reflect on sheet 1 (the full database)
I have created a simple userform that is linked to a button on sheet1. When the data in the userform is submitted, I set it up so it goes into a database under sheet2. The problem is, I don't want anyone modifying the entries in the database. Usually I would protect the sheet with a password, but when I do that, there is an error when the userform is submitted. The only thing I can think of is to hide sheet2, which doesn't seem like a great solution.
Is there any way to protect my database from being modified yet still allow the userform to be linked to it?
I have a macro enabled spreadsheet in which I am able to paste in the customer number as text, but I need to touch the cell in order to make the customer name populate in the next column.
Double click - enter and F2 -enter both will do this, but I'd rather not be doing this for 200 rows every time I have to use it. Is there a way to touch all of these rows without VBA? The spreadsheet was built by our IT department years ago and is rather fickle. I can't risk interrupting the code or I end up having to close it and start over. It's password protected.
Text to columns doesn't work.
I want my macro to protect my sheet again after it is done to allow editing objects and formatting rows. I am really stuck and have come up with the below, but it isn't working.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.
I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.
I have a template that I have hidden the formulas but allowed editing. Is it possible to create a pop up box for the end user to use to edit a cell with the hidden formula? This is a budget template with already set up formulas but the end user needs to be able to make edits but the end users are beginner excel users and if they double click on the cell the formula will automatically delete leaving the cell blank. I need a way around this so they cant view the formula but only change the data if they really mean to change it.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have several Excel files that I am about to change some data in, so I need to create an macro to speed it up. All sheets should be updated besides the last one.
The number of sheets differs between the files. The data that should be changed is in column C, starting at cell C10. But the number of rows differs. If the data in the cell begins with a Q, the Q should be removed, and if it doesn't begins with Q it should be skipped.
I have a spreadsheet that is very large and formated a certain way. I want to make sure that a user cant put the cursor in the lower left corner and copy cells by dragging, copy & paste, or do anything other than input data and be able to highleght text and reinput data in case they mistyped or misspelled the data.
ex: user clicks on cell E33 and types in '1234568' and then move to next cell. The user can click back on E33 and can correct by retyping. That is all the user is allowed.
The cells in question are also in ranges if this helps. EX: 'E33:AJ67'
I am trying to create a data entry sheet to enter quotes on. When a quote is received, I click on my "Add quote" button and a userform appears. Data is entered into the userform (frmEntryForm) and returned back to the next available row.
I also need to be able to:
Edit a row by double-clicking it. When a row is double-clicked, data from that row is passed back to the userform, edited and returned back to the same row (to prevent duplicates).Validate that all fields are complete within the userform where relevant (i.e. if the work is not complete or in progress then the "Invoice Number" and "Actual Cost" fields are disabled and blanked to prevent entry (I think this is almost sorted judging by my tests)

I created a one-sheet template, and a new workbook from that sheet. When in that new workbook I go Insert>Sheet>Other and select the aforementioned one-sheet template, Excel crashes, or if not, it adds the new sheet, but then no longer saves the workbook and starts producing error messages (like: "An unexpected error has ocurred. AutoRecover has been disabled for this session of Excel.").
1a)
Now, the complication is that this is working when I do a model operation with a generic template sheet. So I checked the template that I actually want to form sheets after, and Excel finds no errors, nor does it's name contain any unusual characters. What could Excel prevent from working with a template like this?
2)
How do I edit a template? The only way I can find is to manually find the spot in finder, open, and save with the same name. But: if I do that, the documents basing on that template don't change accordingly. If they're intended not to, the whole template procedure makes no sense. I could then just as well copy a file. — I've been searching for tutorials on that, but google doesn't even return a single result on Excel "edit template". Therefor my very basic question here.
I want to do a loop where you can copy say A3 worksheet 1 then add another sheet naming the work sheet "A3" then copying A3 worksheet 1 to A1 "A3". After that looping to A4 to a new work sheet naming the work sheet "A4"copying the value to A1 "A4", etc...
Is there a simply way of doing this loop? I can probably fit my other coding into the structure.
Need to autohide cells in sheet 2 and 3 based on sheet 1 cells that are hidden. (Example if i hide 150 switchgear on SOV tab it will hide 150 switchgear in Customer and Foreman sheets as well).

In sheet 1, I only want to highlight the cell which exists in sheet 2 for the matching reference number in column B. For example, in sheet2, the value 'PM328491CN' exists and the value 'CN' is present in cell c2. I want the cell that contains this value in sheet 1 to be highlighted (cell C6).
So, find the matching reference, the highlight the cell in the row which is present in both sheets.
