i run a Excel spreadsheet that adds payments that are made, and i have a row put there so i can make notes. sometimes these notes are quite long and if the cell to the left of it is empty the text will continue going across these cells and make my spreadsheet a real mess to understand. how do i make text stay only in it's given cell?
View 2 RepliesI inherited a spreadsheet from someone so trying to undo some of their features. Normally when you type in a long string of text into a cell it will automatically spill over into the adjacent cell(s). This workbook was set so that the text would be truncated (NOT wrapped) even though the adjacent cells are completely blank.
So in cell A1 I've typed "1. Update "TEP" "EP" range every quarter." and even though cells B1, C1, etc are empty, all I see in cell A1 is "1. Update "TEP" "E" I don't want to increase my column A width. How do I undo this so that the text well freely spill over into the adjcent columns?
I'm trying to come up with a way that will populate a table after each cell reaches a certain value.
My first column has rows with the total time required to perform a certain operation. The columns after that, represent operators that should be picking up a certain amount of tasks that do not exceed a set time.
Let's assume that the first row (total operation) has a total of 550 sec. The second column (1st operator) should assign a a value of no more than 200 sec. The third column (2nd operator) another 200 and the fourth column (3rd operator) another 150. So as to create a spill over effect.
The second row has a different operator with a different time. Let's say 300. These tasks should be picked up by a fourth operator with a value of 200 and then a fifth with 100. All in all I would like the table to populate as below.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx operator1operator2operator3operator4operator5
operation 1550 xxxxxxxxxxxxx200 xxxxxx200 xxxxxx150
operation 2300 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx200 xxxxxxx100
ignore the "x". I used those to make sure that the rows aligned with the columns
Is there a formula that will enter the current date in a cell A1, when I enter text into the adjoining cell A2? I'm creating a log with notes and would like the current date to just appear when notes are entered in a cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a list of 688 codes in a column (lets say column A). e,g 23, AB, FX, NV, D8. Each code corresponds to a text In the next column (lets say column B) for example AA is the code for "Transmission". Using a clean spreadsheet and using a drop down list, I would like the cell to the right of the selected dropdown code, to automatically fill in the text of what the code corresponds to.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to enter the data into the grey cells and then have the yellow cells auto generate a result. The only problem is that the required value in cell B5 is from when the entered value in B4 is looked up in the table, rounded UP to the next highest value and then the answer from the next cell.
So, if I enter in B4 a value of 500, a lookup is made in the table and the next highest value would be 553 with the correct answer shown in B5 being 13.

In a userform i have created an textbox. The user types some text in it and after clicking an OK-Button this text must be copied to a cell To allow multiple lines (enter = new line in textbox) i have changed the textbox property EnterKeyBehavior to True. The problem is that after copying this textbox1.text to a cell in see square blocks in the cell.
line1[]
line2
instead of
line1
line2
I use the following code to copy the text into a cell:
Private Sub CommandButtonOK_Click()
Dim TextboxText As String
TextboxText = TextBox1.Text
ActiveCell.Value = TextboxText
Unload Me
End Sub
how to avoid this [] (should be like alt-enter in a cell)
When you put a label in a column, that is wider than the column, and you don't wrap it or shrink to fit, etc. it "spills" into adjacent columns so the whole label is displayed. In some cases this might be desirable, but in others not.
You can prevent it from spilling by putting a blank space into the next adjacent column -- that truncates the display of the label -- but clearly this is not a good solution.
Is there a way to prevent labels from doing this so that only the portion of the label that is in the cell where the label is entered is visible on the spreadsheet? Of course you can see the entire label by selecting the cell itself, and that's what I want to do without it spilling into other columns.
I have a protected worksheet with 60 columns (20 sets of 3), and want to give my users the ability to hide the columns they're not using. There's a row of unprotected cells below the columns in question with data validation allowing a choice of either Show or Hide, and want my macro to act based on thier choices.
Since it's a large spreadsheet, I don't want to run 60 (or 20) different hide commands, if at all possible.
Is there a way to read the 60 different Show/Hide cells (or 20 range names) and join those into a single VB range so I can run the EntireColumn.hidden = True statement once?
We have many spreadsheets in my lab. We have been using them for YEARS. Two days ago we ran into a bizarre problem. If we copy a formula and paste into adjoining cells we get the following
Init Values Formula copied & Pasted Results in B column
A column B Column
10 =A1* 10 100
15 =A2*10 100
20 =A3*10 100
If you copy Range("B1") and Paste it to Range("B2:B3") you get 100, 100, 100 NOT 100, 150, 200. If you click on range("B2") it says =A2*10 but the value 150 does not appear in the cell. If you manually type a formula into each line, the results are what one would expect. If I open a new workbook, copying and pasting works as always.
I would like to compare each cell in a spreadsheet to the cell on its right.
If the numeric value of a cell is less than the numeric value of cell on its right, I would like to highlight the cell on the right light red.
Maybe a better way of putting that is if the value of a cell is greater than the cell on its left, highlight it light red (The problem I foresee with this formulation is in the first row where there are no cells to the left).
I have a list of items in column A of Sheet1 and the same list in column A of Sheet2. Both list will contain the same items, however not necessarily in the same order.
What I want the book to do is; when I click on an item in the list on Sheet1, it takes me to the same item in Sheet2.
Is this possible with VBA?
I have a list of over 300+ email addresses. If there is a way that I could pull out the ".com" (Find & Replace: Which is not working in any format, Text, Custom, General.) then pull out the text from the right to left until I get to the "@" into another cell and drag that down that would make it so much easier. Is there a formula that will pull data and then stop at a CHAR code? @ =CHAR(64) These email addresses are all different lengths. (personal to corporate email addresses.)
Example: moe10134@hotmail.com
Looking for something like this: Replace ".com", =LEFT(9) or whatever will take out the "moe10134@" and the ".com" leaving only hotmail.
What I'd like to do is copy text down in column A but when a cell in column C says something like 'end of data' I'd like the copy to pick up the next row in Column A and copy down until 'end of data' and so on.
Or maybe copy text down in Column A until the text changes in col A.
I have a series of text - domains actually (i.e. goldintre.cr.usgs.gov.) - and I need to extract the text that appears before the first period in one cell, and the text that appears after the first period. Both have to be without the periods. So in the above example the result should be 'goldintre' in one cell and 'cs.usgs.gov' on the other.

I have a simple macro that copies data from worksheet to another. I only want this macro to be run once per day by the user. One of the cells that gets copied is the value found in the formula "=today()". My thought is that the macro could look for the existance of the current date in the pasted data (meaning the macro has already been run once today), and if the date = today, then a message pops up warning the user that the macro has already been run once today, and ask if they're sure they want to continue.
Any easy way to accomplish what I'm attempting to do? The current date gets pasted into a worksheet name "PriorDay" in cell C5.
I am just looking for a way to use the find function but only to display results that end in what I am looking for. For example i am trying to find a sequence of numbers/letters that end in a. If I do a find it displays results for anywhere there is a . in the sequence. I would like just the ones that end in the.

This causes a text field containing 7300070E-4 to be interpreted as 7.30E+0
when my userform opens, it automatically puts the cursor into the first text box (based on the tab order) of the userform. I also set this text box value to read "0" (zero) when it first opens.
My questions is, can I make the userform open up as it does now (above), but ALSO highlight the zero ("0") in the text box? The reason is so that when the user inputs a number into this box, it also overwrites the zero in the box at the same time (because the zero would already be highlighted)?
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. 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.

I seem to be lost in some macro-coding... I have this folder with pictures, and I want to display them as comments, by a macro. So far I have control. But then, if there is a picture that is missing, or if there is a cell that is empty in the selection, everything seems to stop.
the macro I use is very simple, but when everything is in place, its working:
Sub pics()
For i = 3 To 50
PicName = "C:UsersEspenPicturesHus" & Cells(i, 1) & ".jpg"
With Cells(i, 1).AddComment
.Shape.Fill.UserPicture PicName
.Shape.Height = 300
.Shape.Width = 400
End With
Next i
End Sub
Is it possible to make the macro run even if there are wholes, or if some pics are not store in the folder yet?
Is it possible to make the area "unlimited", as you see its now limited from 3 To 50.
And is it possible to make this run automatically, kind of checking the folder on its own to see if there is new pics?
I have a cell with data validation: list, that allows values contained in named range. I want to disallow to delete contents of this cell (with 'del' key, or when i edit cell, delete text and then press 'Enter'). Is it possible to do with formula or VBA
