View 8 RepliesI know the code is long, and bad, but I'm including it anyway in the hopes that it will give some clue. The activeworkbook.refreshall refers to a bunch of queries on other tabs of the workbook using VisualFoxPro ODBC if that matters...

Can it be reversed in the same cell so that it appears as Jones Jupiter i.e. with the last name in the front and the first name following it.
how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
How do I input an IF Formula to prevent Zeros appearing in the TOTAL cell ....
Example: TOTAL Cell (A10) =sumA1:A9

Example TOTAL Cell (A20) =SumA10-A19
I am trying to create a formula that will change the cell color in a range of cells in the row. I want the color to change based on the information in a particular cell appearing on a different sheet. What sheet the information is on determines the color the cells change to.
Example: I have 4 sheets I am working with. We will call them A; B; C; and D. I would like the color of cells A5-I5 on sheet D to change to red when the information in cell A5 from Sheet D shows up in any cell in column A on sheet A. If the information from cell A5 sheet D appears in any cell in column A from Sheet B then the color will be yellow, etc.
I have a table listing certain values (Column C) and their respective probabilities, based on normal distribution (Column D). As these probabilities are dependant only on values from Column C, I'd like to list all the values from that column into another fragment of the sheet, say F6 and below, but each value should appear there only once, no matter how often it occurs in its original Column C (I listed them manually in Column F in the enclosed example). Moreover, if a new value appears in Column C, it should be also included in the new place and sorted in increasing order.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
I have some code that finds the appropriate string for a comment from another sheet. I then want to add the string to the appropriate range selection but am encountering an Object Variable or With Block Variable Not set on this section of

I am working on a database and trying to remove duplicates. When there are duplicates, I want to take the contents of one cell and copy them as a comment on the cell above (or below).
I tried to work on a small macro to do so, but the contents of the cell cannot be copied (it comes out as a blank).
The long way is to 'double click' in the cell, Ctrl+A, cut, click the cell above, Ctrl+F2, paste. This way is very long as I have thousands of duplicates.
What is the best way to reference a cell in another workbook and return the cell contents and the comment on that cell. I would like the comment to come across as a comment in the new workbook becuase the comment is actually a picture.
Hope this makes sense. I did find a macro through googling but I couldn't get it to work? I don't really want to copy and paste because eventually I have hundreds of sheets & thousands of cells to refer to.?
I have a spreadsheet with some cells which return values using INDEX and MATCH to bring back the entire details of a person based on there membership number. However I require the comments to be attached with the returned values. The comments have there image in, rather than just text.
I have found some answers with vba, which do the process, however you had to manually enter the cell, from which the comment was to be copied from, into a pop up box. This involved finding the box myself to then select the box to take the comment from. In doing this I had found and read the comment, which is the is the process I'm trying to bypass.
I need to copy a cell content to a Comment into another worksheet in
the same cell ref.

i need to have a way to link a small picture/thumbnail to a cell. so that there is a way to preveiw it. Ideally like what happens with the comments where you hover over the cell and the comment would pop up. or failing that may be a cell linking to the image.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've some code to add a comment with the value of the corresponding cell 9 columns across:
For Each rCell In rRng.Offset(0, 0).Resize(rRng.Rows.Count, rRng.Columns.Count)
On Error Resume Next
rCell.AddComment
On Error GoTo 0
rCell.Comment.Text "Previous value was " & Cells(rCell.Offset(0, 9).Value) '(rRng.Row, rRng.Column).Value
I have the code below, and it works perfectly on my Mac. But... on my PC it does not.
The cell comment does not resize horizontally when I enter text. So if I enter a long comment I get a comment box that extends far to the right to fit the contents in. Vertically it is fine, nothing cut off and no extra space.
Any ideas why this would be? Any ideas how I can force the text to wrap in the cell comment box?
Code is below:
Sub AddCom()
Const USERNAME As String = "Greer:"
Dim strCommentName As String
Dim cmnt As String
Dim NoMore As Boolean
Dim Pos As Long
cmnt = InputBox("Please enter a comment")
strCommentName = cmnt & vbLf & Now

I have a set of data with text in one cell and images in a cell adjacent the text to illustrate the text. I am trying to figure out how to add a comment to the cell containing the text and take the image in the adjacent cell and put it in the comment.
Is there a way to do this, or do I have to write a macro that saves the images as their own files and then insert the image files into the comment?
I'm using this formula on Sheet2 to populate a cell (copied across and down)...
=IF(COUNTIF(Master!$F$1:$F$300,$A2)>=COLUMNS($B2:B2),INDEX(Master!$B$1:$B$300,SMALL(IF(Master!$F$1:$F$300=$A2,ROW(Master!$F$1:$F$300)-ROW(Master!$F$1)+1),COLUMNS($B2:B2))),"")
In cell B2 Sheet2, I would like to have a cell comment that is populated by the data in Master! that is alongside the data looked up in this formula, this principle would apply to every cell in my range... Sheet2 B2:AC100.
So on Sheet2 B3 is populated by B11 from Master!, I would like the comment to be the value of A11 on Master!
I want to select any cell on a spreadsheet, then run a macro that inserts a comment to the selected cell with the inserted comment text being the selected cell entry (value/text/ date).

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy situation is like this:
-I have two sets of data in two different sheets. The data is similar, but it is taken in two ferent times, so there are some cells, which content has changed.
-I want to make a macro that identifies the changes in the latter (newer) sheet compared two the older one and to:
a) Highlight the cells (this works)
b) Add a comment to each cell that has changed so that the content of the comment is the content of the "older" cell. (so that one can easily see from the newer sheet that highlighted cells have new values and the old values are in the comment) (this is not working)
Here's my code so far. Like I said I can't make the comment work. I tried it with the same text in all comments ("test comment") and it worked but I can't make it to go and get the data from my older sheet.
OLDER = my sheet with old data
NEWER = my sheet with updated data
NEWTABLE = my table on the NEWER sheet where I want to check the changes
