Sorting Range Based On String Variable
Jul 31, 2014I have a spreadsheet with column headers like, "Date" "Phone number" "Name" ect., and rows of data below. Each of these rows contains data pertaining to a prospect employee, as the purpose of the spreadsheet is to keep track of job applicants. One column is used as a 'Recruiter Sign-off' area, where the recruiter who processed the application inputs their name:

I'm trying to automate a variation of excels sort function. However, I don't want to sort 'From A to Z.' Instead, I want to have the rows of data sorted with the 'Recruiter Sign-off' column used as the sort Key, and a selected name (of one of the recruiters) used as the sort Criteria.
I already have a userform that allows the user to select a name from a listbox. When they press confirm, the name is stored in a Public String variable, (selectedRecruiter). I'd like then like to have the rows below the column headers to be sorted based on the selected name. Example: User selects the name "Jon" from a list. The application then brings all of the applicants that 'Jon' has signed off on (those rows that contain his name) to the top rows of the range.
The workbook is shared, so I cannot use tables.
I found a code that accomplished what I want, however it also leads to a horrible system crash after a few times running it (BEX crash).

Variable Column Range Based On Current Selection For Sorting Columns
May 16, 2014The first line of the code chooses the columns to select; all columns until there is no value. From there I need to have it sort those columns based on row 1. The problem is that the columns chosen are variable. It could be columns I:N (as shown below) or column G:Z or any other combination. (The code below was recorded if that matters at all.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedSorting By Variable File Instead Of Specific Named File?
Jul 18, 2014I recorded what I wanted but don't know how to generalise it so regardless of sheet name it can be sorted instead of specifically looking for "leanne final test" worksheet and sorting it by precise cells.
I have starred the section out so you don't have to focus on the rest of the code. Initally I ask for the file to be opened using WeeklyFN, would I need to use it again somehow ?

Jul 28, 2008I am having trouble with the 2003 Alt keys in 2007 ..
I have 2 computers (work & home)
The work computer works fine ... when i use same files on home computer some alt key features wont work?
Example Alt E S T .... (paste special formats)
Any ideas .... I've looked at sharing / protection ... cant find anything to fix it....
It cant be protection because the paste special formats works fine with a mouse or the new 2007 Alt key commands?
Just about ready to remove and re-install...
Using VB To Press Certain Keys
Jan 15, 2009Is it possible to create a script that will allow mimic the keypress of a keyboard?
For example, if I press the windows key and R, windows will bring up the run box and then I can type in C:Windows and press enter and it will open C:Windows.
Is it possible to have Excel do this?
This would mean I create a macro that has keypresses programmed in so I can run a command prompt and enter some details there then copy the data and paste it into Excel.
Sort In More Than 3 Keys
Feb 18, 2009I scratched this macro to autosort on more than three keys on a cell change...but is not working:
Dim rng As Range
' Set Target Range, i.e. Range("A1, B2, C3"), or Range("A1:B3")
Set rng = Target.Parent.Range("A2:V1500")
' Only look at single cell changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
' Only look at that range
If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' Action if Condition(s) are met
' Do your thing here
rng.Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("F2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("E2"), Order3:=xlAscending, Key4:=Range("C2"), Order4:=xlAscending, Key5:=Range("B2")
, Order5:=xlAscending, Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _
False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _
:=xlSortNormal, DataOption3:=xlSortNormal, DataOption4:=xlSortNormal, DataOption5:=xlSortNormal
End Sub
The error goes to Key 4 saying itīs a compilation error, argument with name doesnīt founded.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEntering Times Without Using The : Or . Keys
Feb 13, 2009i am a rowing coach and have to enter a lot of splits every day after practice and am hoping to find a way to do it without having to use the : or . keys.
so a split like 1min. 27.5sec, displayed as 1:27.5 could be entered as 1275.
i see that there are some questions already about this but seem to just work with H:M:S and time of day, i tried but wasn't able to use these for my purpose.
another fly in this ointment is that i also enter heart rates on the same sheet so in A1 it would be splits A2 heart rate, A3 split A4 HR.....
i do this for approximately 40 rowers each day with different workouts each day so each worksheet has splits and HR in different rows and columns.

Filter Data Using Keys In Dictionary
Feb 5, 2014I am working on the last step in a very long project, how to filter my data based on keys in a dictionary.
The data I am working with (in the ActiveSheet) has a list of names (in column 6). I want to add these names as keys in the dictionary and the corresponding location (in column 7) as the items. Then, I want to filter the data by each key in the dictionary, copy the filtered data, and paste it into another workbook. I have included the code I have so far. It seems to work exactly how I want as long as I'm not using the dictionary.

Oct 19, 2009How do I capture keys sent to Excel when my workbook is open / active?
I know when you write a macro you can assign a shortcut key combo to it, such as "Ctrl-Shift-s", but I can't find where / how Excel stores that information, and can only presume it is stored away not accessible to the coder, (ie. not by going via the macro -> properties boxes).
My issue is I want to capture a key combo, then from that call a function passing a variable dependant on the combo pressed, eg:
Trigger A Macro On Arrow Keys
Apr 24, 2007I'm creating a small Excel RPG where the player moves the around a blank worksheet with the walls of a maze appearing as you approach them (think dark corridors, you can see only 1 cell in all directions around you).
The players current location is shown by excel setting the activecell to the players location. Currently I have four buttons labeled Up, Down, Left and Right which the player clicks to move in the desired direction.
The testers were frequently missing the four movement buttons and this would put the activecell outside of the maze next to one of the buttons. They'd have to move it back manually.
I would like for the players to move around using the arrow keys to use the activecell, as you would normally move around a sheet... but before each movement there is a procedure that check IF the player can move in the desired direction or not (cell borders used for walls), and then once they've moved there are more procedures to check for monsters treasure chests etc.
How can I make the arrow keys trigger the macros that the Up, Down, Left and Right buttons currently trigger, and not just move the activecell?

When I press the right or left arrow keys, my entire screen shifts to the right or left but the cursor STAYS in the cell where it was.
