Specify Cells For Find Dialog Without Selecting Them
Apr 16, 2007
In the routine:
Private Sub bttnPCsFind_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Cells.Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
End Sub
Is there a way to set the range of cells for the DialogFormulaFind to search against that doesn't involve Cells.Select? Functionally the above routine works perfectly but, if given the option, I would prefer to not have the cells highlighted (and thus darkened) while performing the search. If I remove this line altogether then nothing in the search is ever found. It is a visual glitch I am looking to get around.
Does anybody know how Excel manages the selection of the cells when performing a find using Ctrl + F (when performing a find using the hot key or menu item the cell range isn't selected (highlighted) ahead of time and thus, remain white during the search/Find Next). Is this possible to code this behavior using VBA?

I've seen many posts advocating the use of BrowseFolder.zip located at
[url]
And some others saying to use the FileDialog object (if you use Excel 2002, or older(?))
I have to admit both are above my prior experience level, but I think I can do it if I understand what their function, requirements, and output are.
All I need is a dialog box that preferably lets me select the default directory, and then allows the user to select the target directory.

I'm looking to have a Button on my sheet that will open the Find box so people do not have to go to the menu to find it. Is there a code that can open this?

I have the following code in a macro to open up a find dialog box, but it does not seem to work. I am getting the following message when I try to find something:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot find any data to replace. Check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exist in this workbook, it may be on a protected sheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected sheet.
I checked the data I am trying to find and replace and it is correct.

I have Excel 2010, and a dual monitor setup, with the left monitor being the main one. I have my spreadsheets on the right monitor.
When I open a Find and Replace, the dialog box always goes to monitor #1 (left); I want it on monitor #2.
Is there a way to default it to the "right" monitor?

My worksheet contains several codes that I then have to lookup in a different worksheet in a different workbook to obtain the relevant data associated with that code. At present I do this by activating the appropriate worksheet, Using Find to locate the appropriate field in that worksheet and then using activecell.offset to get the needed data. This is the only time that these worksheets ever need to be activated so I was wondering if there is a way to do this without having to actually activate the sheet. As an exapmle this is what I currently do:
' variables defined earlier in the program, Tempsheet = workbooks(FileNm & ".xls").worksheet("Temp")
Spark = Cells(TRow, 8).Value
' Activate the reference Sheet
Workbooks("Waveguide Properties.xls").Worksheets("Spark Bends").Activate
Cells.Find(What:=Spark).Activate
COM = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
Edge = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Value
SparkArray(i, 1) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
SparkArray(i, 5) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value
SparkArray(i, 6) = Spark
' Reactiave the workbook and worksheet I am working in
TempSheet.Activate

A macro that only selects cells which are coloured light green. I need this so that I can add it to an existing macro that I've written to remove conditional formatting from these cells only.

I am trying to select a range of cells. The range I need to select starts in Cell A1. I need to select every row with data in column 1 up to the first row with no data. I then need to expand the range to all columns up the last column with data, including columns with blank cells.
The problem with my code relates to the selection of columns. It is only selecting up to column F. Column G is empty, Column H has data, Columns I-J are empty, Columns K-R have data.

' Select the indicated number of items from the
' currently selected cells.
Public Sub SelectRandom(ByVal num_to_select As Integer)
Dim num_items As Integer

I use this code to select highlighted cells within a column
Code:
For Each CELL In Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
If CELL.Interior.ColorIndex xlNone Then
CELL.Select
End If
Next
the thing is that it is working from bottom to top, is there a way to make it work from top to bottom?

someone the VBA code which only selects visible cells in a sheet.
i.e. if for example, range("a1:d5") contained data BUT
range("a6:d100") contained formulae but NO data
the macro would only highlight range("a1:d5")
However, when say range("a6:d10") contained data, then the macro would highlight range("a1:d10")
and so on.
I want the mcro to do this without me having to manually change the ranges when running the macro.

How do I use SpeciaCells to select cells in a range with a certain value?
In the same manner that you can use SpecialCells to select blank cells and then delete that entire row I want to do the same for a cell containing a specific value/text
I have been using SpecialCells to assign a value in blank cells as a temporary marker. I then need to delete the rows with the temporary markers. I have not been able to use SpecialCells to select the temporary markers .

Using VBA, I need to Select A1:C14.
The problem is that A1:C14 contains blank cells, and there is also an adjacent column D that I do not want to copy.
So, UsedRegion and CurrentRegion aren't doing it for me. (It selects Column D too.)
Obviously, this is an example...the real data set is an export and varies in size.

I have two simple columns of data: one with names (Column A) and the other with numbers (Column B).
I am looking for the most efficient way of selecting cells in Column B of a certain value and also selecting the cells to the left of those selected cells in Column A.
I have the current code based on SpecialCells, it works most of the time but for some reason it's buggy and sometimes returns an error. Is there another way doing this without using Special Cells?
Code:
Sub SelectbyValue()
Dim Cell As Object
Dim FoundCells As Range 'Range that's found
Dim WorkRange As Range 'Range to search
Range("E1:F4").ClearContents
[code]....

I'm working with Excel 2003 on a peice for work that requires users to enter their current grade and, if they have one, a temporary grade. Another sheet in the workbook needs to add together all those in a certain grade and who answered a certain way to a drop-down table, so that I can use it to figure out what percentage of staff are of each grade. At the moment it looks like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Work_Data!F2:F9827="Grade 1"),--(RIGHT(Work_Data!K2:K9827,3)="Top 25%"))
Which only draws information from the current grade (column F) and the answer they give (Column K). What I can't come up with is a formula that will only take column F as long as column G hasn't got a temporary grade, but if it does have a temporary grade will take column G instead.

When I click on a cell, for example T13, cell U13 will also automatically be selected. I have looked everywhere for something that is making it do that, but can't find an answer.
It doesn't happen with every cell. I have to do some more clicking around to see if there is a pattern.

I'm working on a macro that's supposed to copy certain cells from a sheet, and paste them in another. But the problem is that I can't find a way to get them all in one go. The sheet that I am copying from has a mile-long list that looks something like this:
OR0220018NO-RING 21,95 x 1,78 N270 BS-0205,00
OR0220018N90O-RING 21,95 x 1,78 N290 BS 02022,00
OR0220018VO-RING 21,95 x 1,78 V275 BS-02010,00
OR0220018V90O-RING 21,95 x 1,78 V290 BS 02013,00
OR0220020NO-RING 22,00 x 2,00 N2709,00
OR0220020VO-RING 22,00 x 2,00 V28024,00
OR0220025NO-RING 22,00 x 2,50 N2705,00
It goes over 3 columns. I want to select column A, B and C in every row that contains the letters "N270".

I'm trying to make a macro'd button that when clicked will select the cells A1:A?? where ?? is equal to the value in cell B1
B1 is a variable number that changes to be the proper amount of rows that I require selected.
It's always A1 down to A9 minimum and A1 down to A400 max.
Once selected I need the macro to copy the selected cells to the clipboard for another application to be able to paste that info.
So far I've been able to get the copy command to work and the range command to work but can't seem to figure out how to put the variable number from B1 into the range command.

I have some code as below
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
This should basically go down a list and stop when there is a blank cell. However due to a previous operation in my excel program, it is not doing so.
Basically this list has been formed from copy and pasting from a list of formulas. some of these formulas return a result and others return "" leaving the cell empty.
When i have pasted i have used paste special/values... but it still seems to paste something into these cells because this macro wont work.
I even went and manually selected the first blank cell and pressed the delete button and when i do this it correctly selects the cells only with content, so clearly when pasting a "" value it stops the activecell operation from working..
