Any shortcut key to center data in the current cell? Or if I write a simple macro (not very good at writing them), what would the vba code to use to center text in whatever cell I am currently in?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a Dashboard in excel (2010) using tables/pivot tables to build it. The data I am bringing into excel has these key fields of data: cost center+cost center description, general ledger account+general ledger account description, and YTD amount.
My problem is the data is from an external source report and the report has subtotals built in at cost center, and the report's format of subtotaling puts the cost center first and then the general ledger accounts below. There is no
formula value in the cell that has the subtotaled amount and the number of general ledger accounts can vary depending on whether there has been general ledger activity.
I want to take this format:
July YTD
Cost Ctr 1050 XYZ$6.00
625110 Supplies$2.00
650150 Postage$2.00
650550 Fees$2.00
Cost Ctr 1052 ZZZ$4.00
670500 Pens$2.00
and have it look like this
Cost CenterCost Center DescrGL AcctGL Acct descYTD Amt
1050 XYZ 625110 Supplies $2.00
1050 XYZ 650150 Postage $2.00
1050 XYZ 650550 Fees $2.00
1052 ZZZ 679200 Pens $2.00
Besides manually doing data moves and assigning a unique sort sequence number to keep the records together, how else can I quickly move my cost centers to a new column and keep the cost center with the gl account and $amount?

Draw a line from the center of the first cell to the center of another cell.
Is there any way to tell a userform to always open in the center of the excel screen? It always seems to open somewhere in outer space on multiple screen setups.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy current spreadsheet shows text that's aligning just slightly to the left of center. In the Format Cells menu under Alignment, I have selected Center for both Horizontal and Vertical. There is no indent. Orientation is 0 degrees. Text is set to wrap. Merge cells is unchecked. Text direction is Context.
When I double click a cell to change the text, it centers correctly as the cursor blinks. But when I click somewhere else and it stops blinking and allowing me to type in the cell, it aligns slightly to the left of center.
I'm using the following code (found here: [URL]......) populate dates in row 13 for a dynamic Gantt Chart...
[Code] ....
It works perfectly to display daily dates in the mm/dd format. Now I want to have an overarching month/year displayed over the entire range for any particular month by merging and centering the cells above the month's dates the above code populates, and pull in the month/year formatted as mmm-yyyy. I've attached a mock up I did manually to convey the desired result.

There are some excel documents in a hidden folder that contain sensitive information. Shortcuts to these documents will be provided to users to open them and add data. These documents contain all kinds of macros as well. Once macro disables the 'Save As' feature so that the workbook can not be saved outside of the hidden folder, preventing to some degree a user from saving as a different name and emailing the document with the sensitive data.
This all works fine with Macros enabled. As soon as macros are disabled the 'Save As' prevention is bypassed and the workbook can be saved anywhere.
Is there a way for an administrator to lock out the Trust Center options for disabling all macros?
Is there anyway to center the data in a column in a listbox without manually adding the spaces?

I want to make automated reports of call center data per day per agent. I would like for it to exported into a single excel worksheet with a tab for each Agent, listing the stats per day. What program would be the best to accomplish this feat. I was thinking of importing the information to access to create to muniplulate the information in a one click fashion. but im not sure if i could get the data back to excel.
See attached the example worksheet. I am wondering if there is a way to write a macro that will change data from individual strings within a cell row to merged and centre data for that set of data. The issue is the data in the row will be varied i.e. sometimes there will be 20 x 2013 other times there may be 22 X 2013 etc. however, the data will always be fixed in the same row on the worksheet.
At the moment the best I have is a recorded macro, which really doesn't work too great and I end up fixing it constantly.
I am using Excel 2007 and I would like to move one tab to right with "Ctrl+Tab" and move one tab to the left with "Ctrl+Shift+Tab".
Macros will not let me assign "Ctrl+Shift" keys (that I could see). How can I accomplish this?
I am trying to use these exact keys because my mouse is setup so that leaning the scroll wheel left or right moves left or right in my tabbed applications by executing a keyboard shortcut. This works in all my applications except excel where the shortcut keys are different.
I'm working on a VBA program prepared for accounting purpose. In that program i hide the excel ribbon by custom UI and also need to restrict excel's shortcut keys commands to run.
Can i do this with some VBA code.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel sheet with lots of shortcuts in the first column. It's the entire shortcut, including the .lnk extension.
What I need to do is to be able to parse out the string to make the shortcut human readable when I create the hyperlink. I'm saving the output as HTML for a user to open these shortcuts. It's on an internal LAN & secure. Using various versions of Excel (2010, 2007 & 2003, predominately the first). Trying to make an ugly, 140+ character shortcut into a more readable form for web navigation purposes.
Up to a point, the shortcuts are similar:
a123meworkfolder1folder2folder3shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder4folder5shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder6folder7shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder8folder9shortcut1.lnk
but, later on, they vary from that point out.
a123meworkfolder1folder10folder10Afolder11shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder_12folder12Afolder12Bshortcut1.lnk
The strings are the same up to the 7th occurrence of the "" character, but after that, the foldernames start to change & the shortcut may be down a level (an extra folder) or more. Also, the lengths of the strings change as well, so I can only do positional parsing up to a point.
I need to resize Excel pretty frequently - I need to size the whole Excel app tall and all the way to the left, taking up about a third of my screen - then maximize it - then back to tall and left, etc. I can do it by clicking the "Restore Down" icon in the top right corner, but I can't figure out how to do it using the keyboard.
I've tried Ctrl-F8, Ctrl-F9 and Ctrl-F10, but they all act on individual workbooks within the Excel application. I want to resize the whole Excel application. Does it exist?
I've recently created a macro which takes a .csv file and scrubs the data and dresses it up for a report. I've finally got it running without any problems and have added it individually to 5 different user accounts on my network as an add-in, but need a way to share it across a computer network without allowing others to edit the file.
The report is generated multiple times a day by the different users, none of whom are very computer literate (not that I am much better, myself), and the macro over-writes the old file each time. I've read that it's possible to simply create a shortcut to the file that automatically opens the spreadsheet in read-only format, which would be perfect for what I'm trying to do, but I haven't been able to get it to work so far.
My current shortcut pathway is similar to this:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15EXCEL.EXE" /R "C:UsersBenDocumentsOT Master.xlsx"
On my computer at work (Windows 7) the shortcut simply opens the spreadsheet so that anyone can edit it, instead of as a read-only file. On my computer at home (I'm trying to experiment) (windows 8.1) it won't even let me save the shortcut, saying I need to provide administrator permission & then cutting to a window that says "access denied".
I won't have the pathway for the actual file I'm trying to create a shortcut for until tomorrow when I get back to work, but I've formatted it essentially the same, directing to the excel.exe file, running the switch "/R", and then directing it to the actual file location.
The ultimate goal is to have multiple people be able to view the file without locking out those who need to update it.
Is there a Column Filter Drop down Keyboard Shortcut for Excel 2013?
In Excel 2013, is there a keyboard shortcut to access the column filter drop down. For example, if you are on the cell A1, and you select Filter under the data menu and you want to filter column A without using your mouse, is there a keyboard shortcut to do this. I know Alt-A-C, clears the filters, but I want to know if there is a shortcut to access the filters in the column. In case my explanation isn't clear, I have included some screenshot pictures of the filter, before and after it is selected, to show what I am talking about, and what I am trying to accomplish without the mouse.

I'm trying to make a macro that will help with data-entry. In two columns of each sheet (columns D and J), I'm entering school grade information ("K", "Pre-K", "1", etc, up to "12"). As I move off of each cell with data so-entered, I want to have the entry formated such that "1", becomes "1st", "12" becomes "12th", etc. I've put code into "Worksheet_SelectionChange" and the code works but...
1. The cell value is not changed upon leaving the cell, only after re-entering the cell. So, I type "1" in the cell, move on (the cell value remaining as "1"), then go back to that cell and the value becomes "1st" like I want. So each cell requires entry and then (for example), left arrow, then right arrow, then move on the next cell for data-entry. Since I'm only saving a few keystrokes for each cell, this approach is just about a wash. I need to have the data changed upon leaving the cell. Is there a way?
2. There are 50 or 60 sheets in the workBook and I have to copy that code onto each sheet. Is there a way to move it to the workBook level? Failing that, is there a way to ease the process of pasting that code to each of the sheets?
I have a plot of data in a chart. I've added a worksheet to the same workbook which has data that I want added to this plot. The data is in the SAME columns/rows, the only difference is the worksheet name. I'm looking for the quickest way to add the data to this chart as I have to do this many number of times. Perhaps if possible to somehow copy the
=SERIES("Title",sheet_name!$A$11:$A$18882,sheet_name!$R$11:$R$18882,5)
And paste it back in with just a sheet name change?
I've already entered a variation of the formula below into 180 different columns. The only variation is where worksheet 322 is referenced. Each column references a different worksheet.
Formula:
I have at least four other tables to build of the same size, and they're each going to use this same formula with an additional IF formula housed around it. Ideally I would be able to copy the table, then run find/replace, where I could substitute = with =IF(new formula, and then run find/replace a second time and sub ))) with ))),more new formula). The problem of course is in between those steps lies a formula error preventing me from running the second step. The only alternative I can think of is to build the new formula, copy it into a word document, and run find/replace 180 times to tailor the formula for each column. That's what I did to build the first table.
"Get rid of merged cells!"
You can read it often on this Board.
I will not open any debate on the subject, but just want to provide a solution to get rid of them automatically. Anybody who likes can refer to this thread.
WARNING
This code is changing layout.
1. Could take a while when you have sheets with large used range or a lot of merged cells. You can follow the status and can interrupt it if you want.
2. Save before executing. I'm quite sure it works good, but the result might be something else then you had in mind, especially when you are quite new to this.

I'm trying to find some code that will format the center header to Arial Bold, size 14.
Currently I have the center header populated with the cell value E9 using -

I've been digging around on the internet, but can't figure out how to format the text automatically.
I have a macro that output a month based upon a date that has been entered in a row on my spreadsheet. I want the macro to center the text but im not sure of the syntax, the macro code is below:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several reports that some columns of numbers have this
(="2015270228 space in here ")
So the numbers do not a center in the column. I didn't make the report, it comes from a different program and is exported to Excel.
How can I get the message to display in the center of the display box?
If i < 3 Then If MsgBox(Tries - i & " Tries Remaining." & vbLf & vbLf & " Try Again?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit For
As you can see the "try again?" & the text "Tries Remaining"works fine by entering spaces, but the number that is suppose to display with "Tries Remaining" does NOT center. How can I get the number to display in the center along with the text?
This is the complete code.

Dim PassTry As String
Const Pass As String = "Password"
Dim storedPath As String

storedPath = ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("PathCertString").Value

I am developing a form for emergency dispatching. One of the features of this dispatch sheet is that there are several maps in it that open on a seperate form. The map form has 4 maps that are picture files in an image. these images are in a frame. The different images are selected using option buttons. Given the background above, my problem is this. I have code that zooms in 50% each time the Click event for the image is fired. wht i am trying to do is make the zoomed view center where i clicked. this is the code that i have so far but it doesn't work all that spectacular, the closer I zoom in the further out of center the place i clicked gets untill it is out of view.
Private Sub Layout_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
CurrentX = X
CurrentY = Y
End Sub
Private Sub PlantLayout_Click()
If Frame1.Zoom < 400 Then Frame1.Zoom = Frame1.Zoom + 50
frmmap.Frame1.ScrollLeft = CurrentX - (Frame1.Width / 2)
frmmap.Frame1.ScrollTop = CurrentY - (Frame1.Height / 2)
frmmap.Repaint
End Sub

I am trying to use Range.Find in a named range that has some areas where two cells are merged using the format "Center Across Selection"
Set rngTemp = wbMaster.Range("PnLDateRow").Find(what:=dDate)
I get a run time error 438 "Object doesn't support this property or method"
Is it not possible to use this method to find the cell in this range? I tried iterating through the range but that errors also.
Any way to vertically and horizontally center an autoshape in a cell without VBA. I created a shape and placed it in a cell but don't think it is centered. Also, if I add shapes to adjacent cells, I would want them all to be centered directly in the middle of the cells they are in. Using the align feature only seems to make sure the shapes are aligned to each other but doesn't seem to put them in the center of their respective cells.
