how to setup the original RAG shapes in order to replicate the feature in other s'sheets.
If you drag away from one of the RAG shapes, it takes a copy of the shape but leaves the original shape intact. It seems to be locked in place, but there are no macros or VBA code doing it.
I was working on a presentation for work where I wanted to build a 'Family Feud' type board to play a game. In the board I am using activex text boxes with code that would hide the text box to reveal the answer underneath or it would show a custom shape (an X in a box) and play the buzzer sound. The code is pretty simple, first I would make the shape visible, then I would play the sound then the shape would be made invisible. If I step through the macro everything works fine, but when I run the macro, you never see the shape. It's almost as if the sound plays before the shape shows up and then it is made invisible again. I tried putting a wait and a sleep command between making the shape visible and playing the sound but that made no difference. If I remove the code to hide the shape at the end and run the macro, the sound plays and then the shape appears. Is there anyway to have the shape appear prior to or at the same time as the sound plays?
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = True
Play_Strike_Sound
'The previous line refers to another macro that has the code commented below. The sndPlaySound32
'function is one I picked up from cpearson.com
'sndPlaySound32 "C:\_Fin SysSoundsff-strike.wav", SND_SYNC
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = False
End Sub
I have copied and then pasted & linked numerous cells from one sheet to another within the same workbook. When I copy the 2 sheets (Edit>Move or Copy Sheet>Create Copy) the linked cells on the duplicates remain linked to the original sheet. How can I copy the 2 sheets and have the cells on the copied sheet be linked to the copied sheets and not the original?

Code:
PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?
Im trying to create shapes Rectangles and Squares with different colours within an excel sheet, where the length and height of the shapes is generated by input values.
Also is it possible to create 3D shapes, again where the size of the shap is generated by input cell values.
I have been assigned the task of creating our new integrated time and leave sheet in Excel 2007, previously we had 2 sheets, one for times and one for leave.
The problem I have is that I need to protect the authorisaton columns therre are 2 one for AM and one for PM, so that only Managers can authorise leave by inputting a password and then initialing the leave.
What I then need to do a the end of each month is for the manager to be able to click a Button with a Macro which will then lock the whole worksheet so that employees cannot change their times after the manager has checked the sheet.
I can lock the authorisation columns and password protect but I have to enable protection on the sheet, when I do this I cannot then figure out a way of running a macro which will then protect the whole sheet and assign a password to it so it cannot be changed after being checked and signed off.
I have tried to create a macro (button) to remove the protection on the 2 columns and then reapply protection to the whole sheet with another button but to no avail.....
If anyone has any suggestions I would be eternaly greatful.
Passwords on the sheet for the different buttons are abc or cobra.

I recently posted a thread on locking one cell if another had a value in it, and vice versa for the other cell. I got this great response (thanks se1429!) and it works GREAT, but I failed to mention that the worksheet is password protected. It asks for a password when I enter a value in one of the cells. I just need help adjusting this code so I can put my password in the code and allow the worksheet to unlock and lock at will by using this password.

I have a workbook with about 200 sheets.
Each sheet contains lots of links to the other sheets, so the user can clink the link and then go to the new sheet.
But, how do I make a "return-function"? That can return the user to the sheet that was active before the link was followed? If possible I would like this do be doable for 5-10 sheets back.
This "return-function" is gonna be used by clicking a button on a floating toolbar I have connected to the sheet.
I have code to copy sheets from one workbook to another, but how to maintain the order based on the Source Workbook.
Actually what i'm trying to do is copy all the Sheets named start with "_". FYI, i cannot use the Index of Sheets as well.
Code:
i = 0
For Each ws In Workbooks(xWBSource).Worksheets
If ws.Name Like "_*" Then
i = i + 1
sArrSheet(i) = ws.Name

I have 8 Sheets in my worksheet with orders from my customers. Column C is their PO# and Column M is the Status of the order. What im looking to do is set up a summary sheet with the List of 8 customers that tells me what PO#'s are in a particular status.
I need a formula to list all PO's that are in "Fabricating" or "Completed" Statuses.
I have gotten this far:
=if(Sheet1!M25="Fabricating",Sheet1!C25,if(Sheet1!M25="Completed",Sheet1!C25,"None"
which works perfectly for the individual rows, but i need it to do it for all rows (1-2500). If i do Sheet1!M2:M2500, i loose it.
I have a multi-sheet workbook with a some raw data that I import into Excel from another system. I then perform calculations & summaries in one of 10 other sheets. In order to make it more readable, I world like put the company logo on the top of each sheet.
Is there a way to create a Input type of sheet that I put the logo in and then on each of reporting sheets do an ='Input'!location_of_logo_cell type of formula, in a similar way that I would pull data from that same sheet, like ='input'A1?. It becomes very labor intensive if I want to make changes to the logo and then copy it to every sheet.
Is there a way to sort out the sheets into alphabetical order in excel 2010?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking to create a sheet that automatically updates itself in alphabetical order, when we enter any data.
here is the case:
- I've 30 secondary sheets and 1 master sheet
-----------------------------------------------------sheets detail-----------------------------------------------
Master Sheet detail:
master sheet's column A contains name from A3 to A100 (user can edit this column)Column B to to AM contains data corresponding to each name in column A
Secondary sheets detail:
column A contains name from A3 to A100 which are linked to master's column A (means any change in Master sheets' column A will change this column).................. (user cannot edit this column)column B to I contains corresponding data.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want that when user enters a new Name in master sheet and presses "Enter" then:-
Column A of master sheet should automatically arrange itself in ascending order, along with all the corresponding data in column B to AMsince secondary sheet's column A is also linked with master sheet, so they should also be updated along with their data in corresponding columns i.e B to I
I've tried other websites and solutions for sorting of rows but since i've little experience with excel VBA, things are not quite working for me.
I would like to know whether its possible to fix a sheet to always be the second sheet in a work book no matter how many other sheets are added. Currently I have set up macros to add subsequent sheets before the last sheet, so that Sheets("Number 2") remain sheets(2). Is there some way I can lock the first two sheets so that when I reference them in my code as sheets(1) and sheets(2) it will reference the right sheets. Right now I have it set up so that Sheets("Number 2") can be renamed by the user, and data inputted on this sheet, but I require that the user not be able to move this sheet and the sheet preceding it.

Sheet1, CellA1 contains the year ie. 2007
Sheet1, CellA2 contains the storage directory ie. E:archiveyear
Sheet1, CellA3:A10 contains the names of the employees.
Here is what I would like to make happen.
Running this in a macro, the result would be a copy of Workbook2 renamed for each employee's name in cells A3 through A10 and all saved in a newly created directory of
E:archiveyear2007employee name1.xls
E:archiveyear2007employee name2.xls and so on..
I have a userform that has nested multipages (5 in the outer page, 4 in the inner page).
On each of these multipages, I want to have the same controls (sliders) laid out in the same order - but with unique names, named after their tab location, for each control so I can use their value property later in the code.
I've designed the layout and named all the controls on my first sheet (e.g. Slider1Outer1Inner1). I now need a way of automating the replication of these across the other 19 sheets (including the nested inner multipage!); so that equivalent slider for example would be called Slider1Outer1Inner2, Slider1Outer1Inner3 etc.
I'm not sure about coding VBA to act on items within VBA...
VB:
" For each multipage in outer
For Each multipage In inner
For Each Object In current multipage
Copy inner.object -> Next multipage
Inner.object.name = CurrentOuter & CurrentInner & CurrentSlider "
if i create a record in 'XYZ' worksheet, it should create the same record in TARGET worksheet.
Likewise, if i create a record in 'ABC' worksheet in the same workbook, it should create the same record in the SUBSEQUENT ROW of the TARGET worksheet.
For this to happen, it must be done programmitically either using a MACRO or VB Script.
How can I continue to replicate this formula automatically?

I want to create a list from a "seed" word that consists of a word followed by a number (ex: seedword100).
What I want to do is to be able to create a list in Excel using that seed word and then have excel produce a bunch of replications of that seed word by incrementing the number part of the seed word by 1 for every replication.
So, for example, if cell A1 = "seedword100", I want Excel to replicate it up to "seedword199" like this...
B1 = seedword101
C1 = seedword102
D1 = seedword103
E1 = seedword104
F1 = seedword105
G1 = seedword106
H1 = seedword107 ...
and so on until the last cell = seedword199 (or whatever number I want it so stop at).
So I have a need to enter multi-line notes. Using a merged cell not working for me so thinking best to use a Textbox.
This works fine for entering the notes but I need to replicate the content on another Tab in the same Excel workbook.
So lets say I have named my Texboxes 'Textbox1' on one tab, and 'Textbox2' on another tab...... how do I replicate the contents?
I've tried putting =Textbox1 into 'Textbox2' like you would for a normal Cell but that does not work.
I created a UserForm to populate client billing info and job location info (so it's a two-parter). A clicked button will then populate a spreadsheet with all of the information. That part works fine.
When the client billing info is the same as their job info, I'd like to offer a checkbox that will populate the job info with the billing info rather than having to type everything twice (like you see on online billing and shipping orders).
I am trying to rebuilt a chartsheet without using copy/paste. I have chartsheets with 2 or more charts on it. I add a new chartsheet, then add a new chartobject and then I want to copy the same series ( name, xyvalues, values). Unfortunately it doesn't work.
Sub ReplicateCharts()
Dim Cht As Chart
Dim NewCht As Chart
Dim ChtObj, NewChtobj As ChartObject

Dim ns As Series
Dim x As Variant
If ActiveWorkbook.Charts.Count > 0 Then
For Each Cht In .Charts
Set NewCht = .Charts.Add()
NewCht.PageSetup.Orientation = Cht.PageSetup.Orientation
For Each ChtObj In Cht.ChartObjects...........................
On the attached spreadsheet there is two irregular shapes. "Area1" & "Area2". I need to be able to determine which area the "ball" shape is located in. If the ball is in Area1 then "Multiply 8" gets the ball and "Multiply 9" moves to the blue cell "AH39". If the ball is in "AreaB" Multiply 9 gets the ball and "Multiply 8" runs to cell "S37"
I should be able to do the moving of the shapes using all the samples, its determining which area the ball is in is the problem.
In the real spreadsheet i will probably have around 10 different Areas.

If I need to replicate a formula in some cells, I usually drag it down or sideways. Is there any easier way to do this? I have large numbers of cells into which to drag the formula. Can I specify which cell range the formula is applicable to (i.e. A1:A10,000 or something) instead of dragging? If so how?
