being able to setup pics within the cell without setting up the pics in comments. I need the pics to be visible as day so when I save them in pdf form they can be seen by my clients without them having to click and go reference other files. Also if this is possible, is their a way I can load the pics using no more than 3 steps to get the sheet to start loading the pics, I am needing to minimize some steps just for saving time. I plan on using this setup for inspections and can't spend a lot of time changing the pic size and opening different files.
I was wondering, more specifically, if I could on say a single click on the cell, keep comment open until clicked outside of the cell comment. Currently set up at the moment to show comment on mouseover of the cell. And I would like to keep comment open if i choose to click on the cell.
I have let's say 3 workbooks with 1 sheet in every book. Sheet in first wb named "SD_Romania". It looks like this:
Sheets in other workbooks named "SD_Bulgaria" and "SD_Poland" (there are more than 3 workbooks, just an example).
What I need to do is to write a macro that can extract only "Outlook" row data from all books and worksheets into new workbook. So that data will be structured like this:
BM and KF_TYPE are constants. REG should be taken from worksheet name. VERSION should be taken from A1 column (3 chars, starting from 8 char). Period should somehow be transformed from "March 2008" to "32008".
The macro should look search for information in all opened workbooks, regardless of their names.
This is a hard macro, I guess. But unfortunately I don't have a clue how to write vba macros
When I run module 2 one of the first things it does is export the sheet to a .pdf - however sometimes when i am ready to tun this macro there are pictures inserted as signatures (some of my team dont have touch screens) - but when they run the macro and the .pdf file is created the inserted pictures are there. See the below code - the "bold" line is the line that i feel needs to be more specific...
how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
I am currently trying to create a database of products for my company. For each product I would like to include an image associated with it. I then want to have on another sheet a place where the user will click an error and be able to cycle through the products. As tehy cycle the associated image will pop up.
What I need to understand is after importing the image into excel, how do I associate that image to a cell so I can reference it in another sheet of the database. I am not concerned with how large the database will get, my pictures are quite small.
I have some code that finds the appropriate string for a comment from another sheet. I then want to add the string to the appropriate range selection but am encountering an Object Variable or With Block Variable Not set on this section of
Range("C" & i).Select ActiveCell.Comment.Delete <== Here Or the Next line ActiveCell.AddComment (Commenta) ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
How, via VBA, would I add a comment from a userform (text box name: txtReason) into a cell that may already have a comment in it? I would like to keep the comment that is in the cell and then have the program add a "/" and the next comment from txtReason..
I have a tracking sheet that is used to show where a specific project is within the lifecycle and would like to automatically set a summary value depending on the last data entry within a range of cells in a row and also set it to RAG status depending on the value.....
I am working on a database and trying to remove duplicates. When there are duplicates, I want to take the contents of one cell and copy them as a comment on the cell above (or below).
I tried to work on a small macro to do so, but the contents of the cell cannot be copied (it comes out as a blank).
The long way is to 'double click' in the cell, Ctrl+A, cut, click the cell above, Ctrl+F2, paste. This way is very long as I have thousands of duplicates.
What is the best way to reference a cell in another workbook and return the cell contents and the comment on that cell. I would like the comment to come across as a comment in the new workbook becuase the comment is actually a picture.
Hope this makes sense. I did find a macro through googling but I couldn't get it to work? I don't really want to copy and paste because eventually I have hundreds of sheets & thousands of cells to refer to.?
I have a spreadsheet with some cells which return values using INDEX and MATCH to bring back the entire details of a person based on there membership number. However I require the comments to be attached with the returned values. The comments have there image in, rather than just text.
I have found some answers with vba, which do the process, however you had to manually enter the cell, from which the comment was to be copied from, into a pop up box. This involved finding the box myself to then select the box to take the comment from. In doing this I had found and read the comment, which is the is the process I'm trying to bypass.
i need to have a way to link a small picture/thumbnail to a cell. so that there is a way to preveiw it. Ideally like what happens with the comments where you hover over the cell and the comment would pop up. or failing that may be a cell linking to the image.
make the contents of the cell comment box dependent on the cell contents? eg if the cell contents = 2 and a seperate table says 2 is "poor" can it automatically populate the comment with "poor" ?
Is there a way to insert a pdf into a cell comment? I found how to insert an object but when I do that it covers the entire spreadsheet. I would like to be able to add pdf's to cell comments.
I've some code to add a comment with the value of the corresponding cell 9 columns across:
For Each rCell In rRng.Offset(0, 0).Resize(rRng.Rows.Count, rRng.Columns.Count) On Error Resume Next rCell.AddComment On Error GoTo 0 rCell.Comment.Text "Previous value was " & Cells(rCell.Offset(0, 9).Value) '(rRng.Row, rRng.Column).Value
I have the code below, and it works perfectly on my Mac. But... on my PC it does not.
The cell comment does not resize horizontally when I enter text. So if I enter a long comment I get a comment box that extends far to the right to fit the contents in. Vertically it is fine, nothing cut off and no extra space.
Any ideas why this would be? Any ideas how I can force the text to wrap in the cell comment box?
Code is below:
Sub AddCom() Const USERNAME As String = "Greer:" Dim strCommentName As String Dim cmnt As String Dim NoMore As Boolean Dim Pos As Long
cmnt = InputBox("Please enter a comment") strCommentName = cmnt & vbLf & Now On Error GoTo 0
I have a set of data with text in one cell and images in a cell adjacent the text to illustrate the text. I am trying to figure out how to add a comment to the cell containing the text and take the image in the adjacent cell and put it in the comment.
Is there a way to do this, or do I have to write a macro that saves the images as their own files and then insert the image files into the comment?
In cell B2 Sheet2, I would like to have a cell comment that is populated by the data in Master! that is alongside the data looked up in this formula, this principle would apply to every cell in my range... Sheet2 B2:AC100.
So on Sheet2 B3 is populated by B11 from Master!, I would like the comment to be the value of A11 on Master!
I want to select any cell on a spreadsheet, then run a macro that inserts a comment to the selected cell with the inserted comment text being the selected cell entry (value/text/ date). Primarily to insert a cell date value to comment before overwriting it with a tick to represent completion. The comment then contains the date for archive info purpose.
I have a worksheet with about a dozen cell comments in one column. I am able to add and edit cell comments to other cells throughout the worksheete, but I can not edit any of the existing comments. I've tried all of the usual ways to edit the comment (Shift/F2, Insert-Edit Comment, etc.), but nothing opens the comment in edit mode.
if choose a cell then the code works fine, but when i choose a selection of cells (ex. A1 A2A3 A4) then the code fail to excute in this line: Invalid proceduer call or argument error
.AddComment "hmk :" & Chr(10) & " value was " & ActiveCell.Value
and then fail to excute in this line: typr mismatch error
Selection.Value = (Selection.Value) * r
now here, does have to be loop to solve
here is the full code
Sub test() Dim r As Integer ActiveCell.ClearComments
