I have a sheet with a data in range A1:J9. I have a drop down list in each cell from A2:A100.
I'm trying to store all values in A1:J9 in an array using the property CurrentRegion.value like below
Code:
Arr=Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
The issue is that is taking as current region the range A1:J100, even if I don't have selected any value in the drop down list from A10:A100.
Is there a way to force CurrentRegion to select only values from A1:J9 ignoring the blanks dropdown list values or a similar way to load an array with values in a contiguous range?
I have a table showing interest levels in training courses from a group of schools, eg:
English Maths Science
School1 3 4 2
School2 7 1 0
School3 3 2 5
I want to identify the column heading for the first, second and third most popular courses. ie for School1 the most popular course is Maths, second most popular is English and so on.
I have tried using the OFFSET function, which worked if I provided the cell location of the required value. I then looked at the ADDRESS function to provide the cell location: eg For School2 find the 2nd most popular course:
=ADDRESS(ROW(A3),COLUMN(data?)+MATCH(LARGE(B3:B5,2),B3:B5,0)-1)
But I have got stuck with what I should enter for COLUMN(data?) as I do not know in which column the second largest value is.
I am sure Excel has the required functionality.
I am trying to prevent a out of memory error when all cells as selected.
Basically I am lookinf for a way to test if the user selects all the cells in a sheet.
Then if that happen I want to exit the sub.
Basically
IF "Select all" then Exit Sub
But I don;t know what syntax to use for the "select all" part.
I know that cells.select does select all but if I try
If ActiveSheet.Cells.Select is True then Exit Sub
I gets into some strange loop and Excel locks up.
I am looking to create a "Retractable Menu with the + and - signs". If you don't know what I mean, go to excel help and click on the contents tab - that is the menu system I am talking about.

My problem is that a majority of the names use # signs in the file name. What is the best way of going around this problem without changing the file name complete. There is approximately 100,000 different files in different locations that would need to be alters so I think it would be easier to just make the name link work with the # sign.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this autosum macro it does its job very well. Problem is that it returns autosum with absolute cell references ($ signs around cell numbers). This way I cannot copy paste formula around same row but different columns. I would rather have to copy paste code for each column and change declarations.
How to edit this code so that variable cell references are returned in the result.
Code:
Dim cel1 As String, cel2 As String
cel1 = ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0).End(xlUp).Address
cel2 = ActiveCell.Offset(-1).Address
ActiveCell.Value = "=sum(" & (cel1) & ":" & (cel2) & ")"
I need a macro that will change a number's sign. To go from neg. to pos. or pos to neg. I need this macro to execute this on all selected cells. So, for example, if I select A1:G35 and execute this macro via button or short cut, all those selected cells with numbers will flip signs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list of numbers in Column A that I always copy into another sheet. The problem I have is that some of these numbers end in "+" and I can't use them when it has that. I have to go through and one by one take out the plus. I was wondering if it was possible to copy only the numerical values to a new column?
Example
Original What Im Looking For
4 4
56 56
8+ 8
5 5
90 90
2 2
4+ 4
45 45
1 1
67 67
Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Actually I just figured it out. I did a text to columns with a + sign as the separator and it worked.
I've got a column with numbers. some of the numbers have the following signs/symbols proceeding the value in the same cell: ',ft,#,ea,each. I want to have these removed by a formula so that the numerical values are alone.

Draw result is shown in cells A2:N11 and result of Count continuous occurrence of each signs 1-X-2 is shown in cells Q2:AE11
For example we take a look row 7 where first sign-2 has occurred 3 times, as
Column Q is for to place result of sign1
And column R is for sign-X
So far count of sign-2, which is 3 times, must be paced in cell S7,

And then count of sign-2, which is 5 times, must be placed in cell V7,
And finally count of sign-X, which is, also 5 times, must be placed in cell X7,

Column H contains alphanumeric data (codes).
I need a macro that renames all cells in column H starting with the letter "B" by replacing B with "Temp" and thereafter cuts the last two digits of the code. B224501 would thus be Temp2245.
I'm creating an Excel sheet with statistics for a yearly salary review.
In the document that the managers will fill in there is a column for the employees performance (+, = or -).
I want to use this to compare how much salary raise employees has gotten depending on their performance rating. This is all fin with the + and - just using the regular countifs formula, but when it comes to the = Excel refuses to count them?
I have two columns with values of either 1 or -1. I'm trying to find a formula that I can write in one cell that counts the # of times column A and column B have opposite signs.

View 6 Replies View RelatedQUESTION: How do I check to see if a cell contains either "" or "/" and if it does then replace it with "-"? THE REASON: I have a form which needs to be saved in a particular directory with the name "Form 1 - client name - matter name". To do this I have put =("G:UsersCComplianceFile OpeningForm 1 - "&B7&" - "&D42) in Cell A1 and then in VBA added the following macro to a button which saves the file
ThisFile = Range("A1").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile
This works ok BUT, if the user puts "/" or "" in either B7 or D42, it won't save and throws up an error because you can't use those signs when saving a file.
So I am working with a model that calculates IRR, NPV, etc. I need to create a formula for conditional formatting that calls out if the IRR calculation is invalid due to non-normal cash flows. These are cash flows where signs change more than once (eg -100,200,-300).

I have many excel wordlist, which are being converted from other file formats. Now there are sometimes useless spaces before entries in the cells. There are also some times commas and other not needed signs at the beginning of a cell in a column.
I need a macro, which removes spaces, symbols, letters, numbers or combination of them from the beginning of all cells in a column. The symbols should be chosen before the macro starts its work.
For example:
Before running the first macro:
Column A
,Word1
,,Word2
Word3
,Word4
After running the macro the beginning should be cleaned from chosen symbols, spaces or signes. (in our example if a cell begins with , then the commas should be deleted).
Column A
Word1
Word2
Word3
Word4
I need a macro, which removes spaces, symbols, letters, numbers or combination of them from the end of all cells in a column. The symbols should be chosen before the macro starts its work.

Word3
Word4;
After running the macro the end of the cells should be cleaned from chosen symbols, spaces or signes. (in our example if a cell ends with sign ";" then these signes should be deleted).

I've just seen a formula with two - (minus) signs right next to each other placed before a section in a formula while reading possible answers to my post. Here is the link: Understanding this formula. I've seen it before and am intrigued as to why it is there and what it actually does. Assume it is used such: = --(1+2). Would the answer then not be =--3 = 3?

Here is the formula:
Try this formula. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas

I have Three different combinations which are in cell A & B, These combinations are with similar signs as in A1=2- & B1 = 2- (& A1 = 2+, B1=2+). Then I have numbers with no signs which A1 =2 B1= 2. My approach is to limit to these and these combinations only and use a formula which is uniformally applied on these combination. I want A1 and B1 to take only like signs like -- or ++ or without any sign. The rest shd be ignored. IS there a way of sorting two columns which have different combinations liek -- or ++ or -+ into a area where u can apply a particular formula? Hence first i take a number and move signs on the left and then apply this
IF A7 = 2- . B7 = 3- THEN
IF(OR(RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)="-",RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)=" ",RIGHT(TRIM(B7),1)="+"),LEFT(TRIM(B7),LEN(TRIM(B7))-1)*3,B7*3)
