View 3 RepliesI am working with a workbook, which has links pointing to many other workbooks. Many a times, I need to open the source workbook to verify whether the source data is correct. It takes a long time to open the other files and locate the exact cell. Following is an example of the links in the workbook.
'W:CentralMMonitoringResearch[Dallas.xls]CONSUMERS'!AH13
Some cells are linked to the sheets in the same workbook. I know that I can use Excel's audit function, but I found that it doesn't work well when the formula referes to other workbooks. Therefore I want to design a macro, which will land me to source cells. The macro needs to analyse the link; open the workbook to which the link refers; and find the correct cell in that workbook. If the link refers to a worksheet in the same workbook, then it should not open that workbook again. I don't know, how to use a link like the one given above, and analyse it using VBA to decide whether it needs to open another workbook.
Is there a function of formula in Excel that will show me which cells are protected. I have a worksheet that needs certain cells to be protected. I don't know how i can get on good look to see if the are all protected.
Is there a conditional formatting formula possible.
I have an excel file with column stating month and rows are phases ... for each Phases we add the revenue numbers by month and it does keep changes as and when scope changes. However, i am finding it difficult to capture the changes ... is there a way i can set the guidelines to ensure all historical data changes as and when any updates and it should store the historic inputs for consolidation ... i would like to be called as Baseline, Re-baseline1, Re-beseline2 like wise.

On choosing Auditing Funtion, Trace Dependants, a small icon representing a spreadsheet ? appears at the end of a dashed line. What does this refer to?

Column B2 has the first Audit Date (hard keyed), cell C2 has the second Audit Date (formula =+B2+182), cell D2 has the third Audit date (formula =+C2+182), etc. . . I would like the format of the Audit dates to flag the last audit date in the row red if it is prior to today's date (cell A1).
How do I stop a user hiding a workbook using VBA? I have tried:
Private Sub workbook_deactivate
If windows(myfilename).visible = False Then
windows(myfilename).visible = True
End If
End If
This works but when I try to close all files sometime I have to press the top cross twice. This may be because one workbook references the rest.

I have a report whose calculation time I've reduced greatly by turning off automatic calculation and including in the worksheet code directions to only calculate the impacted range. BUT, it still takes a lot of time to calculate on close, when I turn automatic calculation back on. I'm afraid my users will think their machines have crashed. Does anyone know of a way so that on close, the workbook does not calculate, even though Calculation is turned back on to automatic?
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
.MaxChange = 0.001
.CalculateBeforeSave = False
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With
End Sub
I wanted to stop users from using cut and paste as well as drag and drop so I found something in Ozgrid to do that. (http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/disable-cut-copy.htm)
Problem now is I am trying to run a macro that will copy and paste certain values, but because of the code I have added in the above link, whenever I click on a cell and copy it, when I click any other cell, the copy area gets cleared which of course disallows me from pasting it.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim oCtrl As Office.CommandBarControl
With Application
.CopyObjectsWithCells = True
.CellDragAndDrop = True
.CutCopyMode = True 'Clear clipboard
End With
'Enable all Cut menus
For Each oCtrl In Application. CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=21)
oCtrl.Enabled = True
Next oCtrl
'Enable all Copy menus
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=19)
oCtrl.Enabled = True
Next oCtrl.....................
I've got a macro embedded in a sheet (not in a module)..."Private Sub worksheet_activate()".
I have a macro that copies this specific sheet to a new workbook in order for other users to play with.
Problem is, when they select the new copied sheet in the new workbook, it tries to execute the "worksheet_activate" macro.
I've done searches on trying to delete macros but to no avail....
I´m using this code to create a messagebox±
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("E2:E126")
If c > -15 And c < 0 Then MsgBox c.Offset(, -3), vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "LET OP! Einddatum contract nadert!"
Next
End Sub
The messageboxes may only appear when the workbook is opened. The problem is that they appear when I change something in the workbook.

Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

After creating the 10th worksheet these formulas stop displaying the result. They showed #N/A but in actual there supposed to have a values in each of the cells. By manually clicking the formula bar and pressing enter these values will appear.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe attached file contains hypothetical data on a basketball player's success from the free throw line. It lists the number of free throws attempted and the number made and then divides the number made by the number attempted to calculate the free throw percentage. However, I keep getting a # DIV/0! error in the games free throws weren't taken. How do I write the code so that when the error occurs, a message is displayed to the effect that no percentage can be reported because no free throws were attempted by checking the cell in column D? How do I use the IsError function to figure this out?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for the code to keep certain cells from being rested on, they can be clicked on but in order for you to view the formula in the cell you have to hold down the mouse button otherwise it will move you over to the cell next to it. I was using another worksheet a while ago and was trying to view the formulas but when I clicked on the cells holding them it would move me to the next cell, the only way I could view them was to hold the mouse button down as soon as I would release it it would be gone! I do not want to protect the sheet, if there is another way to hide formulas I am open to all ideas!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on a formula that, eventually, I would like to be inserted into cells using VBA's FormulaArray Range function. Unfortunately, in its present state, the formula is too long and clumsy to meet the 255 character limit on that function. While I know that I can easily shorten the current formula with simple adjustments, such as using named ranges, I still am forced to ask whether the design of the formula itself could not be improved.
The heart of the formula is an Index/Match combination which will search if any line on the 'Archive' sheet meets the three criteria on the line specified in the 'Data Log' sheet. If so, it returns the value from a particular column of the matching row on the archive sheet. If not, it returns N/A.
=INDEX(Archive!$E$1:$E$1999, MATCH(1, IF(Archive!$B$1:$B$1999='Data Log'!$A2, IF(Archive!$A$1:$A$1999='Data Log'!$C2, IF(Archive!$D$1:$D$1999=1,1))),0))
In an effort to circumvent this unsightly N/A result I have attempted to use the ISNA function paired with an IF statement. The idea is that if the result is N/A then "Pending" will display instead. Otherwise the result of the indexing formula will display. This approach is outlined below:
=IF(ISNA(index function), "pending", index function)
The problem, of course, is that the indexing formula is rather long, and, with this approach, I am required to put its entire contents in the formula twice. I would greatly appreciate any help in streamlining this formula. Remember, the final goal is simply to search the 'Archive' sheet for a single line meeting three criteria and return a value from a fourth column, or if not return "pending".
I'm trying to create an excel spreadsheet that keeps track of the highest value from a dynamic series. First a bit of background:
A manufacturer produces widgets made from gold. Therefore in order to quote manufacturing prices, they typically get a live gold price using Excel's web services and if the live price is higher that the last gold price they used, then they update their base price list for gold components. If the live price is lower than the last gold price they used, the last gold price does not change.
I'm trying to produce the above logic in Excel using:
Cell A1: [Excel data connection to pull live Gold price] - no problem here
Cell A2: dynamic 'price' that only updates if cell A1 is higher than cell A2
Cell A2 is where I'm getting stuck. I can't think of how to create a formula that updates cell A2 if cell A1 is higher.
I entered a simple formula in a cell =B14*B16 but it won't calculate. The cell only displays the formula and not the result. tell me what I did wrong. I've attached a sample.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I have a formula that uses cells that are currently blank - and then run a macro that puts data into those cells - the original formula cell ranges change - even if I put $ within the ranges.
i.e.
Cell A1 has formula = sumproduct(e1:e10>10)
Currently cells E1:E10 are empty
Run the macro
E1:E10 now has data in.
But formula in cell A1 now reads something like =sumproduct(E13:E23>10) or could read =sumproduct(Ref#>10)
I have a file that tracks orders placed.
Column A gives the request date of the order, based on the TAT in column B the projected dispatch date gets calculated.
Once the order is dispatched and the date gets updated in column Z, the redemption status in column V gets updated as "Dispatched within TAT" or "Dispatched out of TAT" based on whether they have met the TAT or not. If the dispatch date is left blank then it shows "Yet to be dispatched".
My problem is that the column D does not stop calculation even after the order is dispatched. And therefore because of the conditional formatting turns red the minute the number is more than 0. So it is misleading.
A1 refers to B1 which contains a number or #VALUE!
What could I use in A1 to return a number and if B1 = #VALUE!, a zero.
I'm protecting a spreadsheet with Excel 2000. For that i used the Excel functionality : Data -> " Validation"
Unfortunately, I can not protect the all sheet or workbook (Requirement). So even if the cells are protected by "Validation", any user can delete the cells using the key DELETE or BACKSPACE on the keyboard !
VBA Macro (which could be activate at each change on the sheet for example...) ? or if it's possible to avoid cells deleting with the "Validation" in the Excel Data menu ?
If it's a macro, it would do :
1 ) see if a user is pushing DELETE or BACKSPACE on the keyboard
2 ) see if the cell contains formulas
3 ) if yes, make a box appears to say that is not possible to delete this cell
4 ) return on the Excel sheet without changes
I am trying to cut/paste a row of formulas in my spreadsheet. The problem is that I want some of the referenced cells in the formula to stay CONSTANT and not increment on each new row. In this example, I want the references to row 17 (F17,E17) to increment (E18,E19,...), but I want the "G7" reference to remain hard coded (as G7) on each row I paste (because that is where my master value is). (The formula is working fine) =IF((F17>0),IF((F17<=G7),E17,0),0)
