Show Cell Value(text) In Comment Box Text, Or Mouse Tool Tip On An Gif Icon
Nov 16, 2007
I have a spread sheet were the area is getting very limited. I need to insert a small icon and when the mouse goes over (like it does in a form tool tip) will show the value of a cell (text value) located in another sheet in same workbook, or I was thinking inset a comment next to the icon and link the comments of the comments text to cell with the text value.
I've look the properties of this to objects and can figure it out.

I want to copy the First Row which is the Column heading of one Sheet to a different Sheet Example : From Col A till Col G First Row is to be copied as an Image. Normally I do it using the Camera Icon, however when I tried recording a Macro for the same it did not work..
So how do I that if I provide the Start Column and End Column Alphabet as a Variable is that possible.. I want this Image to not remain Volatile which is the case using the Camera Tool..
So, how do i get the picture of only the first row or any row and store it is an Image in a different sheet as static picture so that even when the sheet is moved to a different location it does not make a difference to the Image.
I am trying to write a function that will compare the text of cell "A2" to the text of cell "B2" and display cell "A2"'s text characters that didnt match from cell "B2" in column C. Can anyone help me out with writing this formula?
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
In my application threr are command buttons. it is required that as the user place the mouse pointer on the button a tool tip should be displayed which describes the functionality of the button. i have used a lable and its default visibility is set as false. In the mouse move event of the buttons i am making the visibility of the level true. Its working fine but my problem is due to mouse move all the buttons and an image in the sheet flikers. so how to avoid the flikering? Is there any other method to display the tool tip with out using the mouse move event.
Cell B4 is selected by user and then runs the macro. The macro then looks UP (A3, A2, A1 etc) cell by cell until it finds the first cell that has a valid date in it and if that date is same as the date that the macro is being run pastes "This Text" into the comments section (Not replacing everything in the comments but simply adding to it.)

I need a nudge in the right direction with how to amend the below code so that it : 1: cycles though all cells in a workbook, and sees whether the text reference of the cell contains a picture filename (i.e. searches for .png or .jpg in the cell contents) 3: if (1) is correct, it retrieves the picture from "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" and pastes it as a cell comment background in the cell to the right (and overwrites any comment backgrounds that might already exist there)
The code below does something a bit different: it looks in a defined range, then adds a comment with a background picture retrieved based on the text in the cell to the left.
I'm sure this is a pretty basic change, but my VBA skills aren't up to it...I've only just started reading though Walkenbach's Power Programming! I'm using Excel 2007
Sub InsertComment() 'www.contextures.comxlcomments03.html Dim rngList As Range Dim c As Range Dim cmt As Comment Dim strPic As String
On Error Resume Next
Set rngList = Range("A1:A5") strPic = "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" On Error Resume Next For Each c In rngList With c.Offset(0, 1)...................
I want to know if we can change the color of the comment icon (when we add comment for a cell it gives a triangle form in red) can we change the color.
i have the following code to insert comments into cells, however if the user cancels the input box (i.e. doesn't insert any text), a comment is still added with their details and the comment 'FALSE'. Is there anyway to stop comments being added if the user cancels the input?
Sub Insert_Comment() Dim iReply As Integer
Dim cl As Range Dim sComment As String Dim sText As String Dim UserNameWindows As String
I want to put in place a CF icon set of either a green tick or a red cross in cells A1:A20 but when I get to "Manage Rules option box" It is only showing me that I can use "values". Is there a formula that i can use to make it choose the icon set based on text of either "y" or "n" in cells A1:A20 .
I have tried to just change the font to "wingdings2" but other need to use the worksheet and they wont know to use the corresponding text of "O" & "P" .
My drop downs are simple yes/no/NA witht a down arrow apprearing to the right. Works fine for all users except one troublemaker who for some reason sees the text and arrow as a mirrored, upside down image. It's not rotated to be upside down, it's mirrored so if you turned your monitor upside down you'd see the letters in the words backwards as if looking in a mirror. We're both on Excel 2007.
I created 5 charts and instead of having them spread everywhere in the worksheet, I would like them to be "reduced" to some kind of a link contained in a cell (at the botom of the data of each chart). Then, I would like the chart to appear only if I put the mouse on this cell.
I want to create 3 command buttons (active X) on a worksheet to toggle between showing rows which only contain the below text in column L (range L9:L30) and showing all rows containg the options (However, I also have some blank rows in this range and i always want them to remain hidden.)
My text options are:
High ‚ Medium ’†“™ Low ’á
The text arrives in the cells via a VLOOKUP
Is the chinese text a problem? i can't type it into VB.
I've been using the following macro to hide and unhide rows with a command button in the same sheet:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Toggle_Hide_Unhide End Sub
Sub Toggle_Hide_Unhide() Dim rngCell As Range Dim TakeAction As Boolean
If ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Caption = "Hide" Then TakeAction = True ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Caption = "UnHide" Else TakeAction = False ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Caption = "Hide" End If
For Each rngCell In ActiveSheet.Range("I9:I30") With rngCell If .Value = 2 Then .EntireRow.Hidden = TakeAction End With Next rngCell End Sub
I've created several buttons that link to macros that I have put in the first row of my sheet. I've freezed the panes so they won't move so you can see the buttons form wherever you are so you can use them. However, I'd like to describe what the buttons do somewhere so it's easy for users to use them...
I was thinking the easiest way to do this would be when you hover over the button it shows text in a a little pop up window...like if you hover over an image sometimes there is text that appears.
Is there VBA code that I can write to make that happen? How would I then tie it to a button? To create the buttons under developer I just did Insert, Form Control, Button...
I have a excel file that tracks completion rates and has lots of formulas but there is one that I cannot figure out.
I want a formula that will display "not completed in time" (for example) if completion isn't 100% by the planned completion date. The problem I have is that I want to have a record of this and if the completion rate becomes 100% after the planned completion date it will no longer show "not completed in time". Is there a way to setup a formula that will show data in a cell if the formula has EVER met certain criteria.
I have a cell (A1) that is referenced to another cell in the workbook ('Sheet1!'B1) by an if statement. I then have another cell that I want the value to show up if there is a value in (A1), If there not a value (Shown in A1). i do not want to show the value. Howeverwith the formula I have. I can delete the (A1) reference value (which shows nothing) and replace if with either a (0 or delete the contents of the cell and it works.
I have text in one cell and I need a text box to show the text from that cell.
For example, if I have text in B2, on a text box I put the forumla =B2. The issue I'm experiencing is that the text box cuts off the text. There's no logic to why it cuts off the text, it's not limited to number of characters and I've played about with the margins and wrap texting, etc, all to no avail.
I've attached a photo of the worksheet to show what I'm experiencing. [URL] ..........
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.
Is there a way to change the font size and style of a comment of a certain cell? I mean is it possible to have the sizes of comments varies in one worksheet?
Lets say cells A1 to A5 contain these lines of information:
Till 174 (T0215) - till keeps turning itself off. Till 245 - stuck on windows screen 116 - keyboard is unresponsive Berkel Scale is constantly beeping ped not reading cards Till 156
How can I show only the numbers from these cells (i.e. B1 will be 174, B2 will be 245 etc...)? As you can see the number isn't always in the same place, and doesnt always have the same characters either side.
In a range of cells (e.g. B26-B40) I have names (first name and second name or first initial and second name). This data is carried from sheet 1 to the second sheet via formula. Some cells may be blank as well.
A VB code to display a message when the user changes the name in any of these cells with data or adds a new name to a cell that is blank, in sheet2
I am trying to combine the text from the comments boxes of a full row of cells into the comments box of a separate other cell in order to provide an overview of the comments in these cells in one place.
