View 9 Repliesmy 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.

=IF(NOW()<D4,DATEDIF(NOW(),D4,"D"),-DATEDIF(D4,NOW(),"D"))
I want this countdown to stop when I enter a date into F4 and that the number of days still shows within E4.
I have the following formula that sometimes returns an #N/A value. Is there a way I can stop that from happening?

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.

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 want to stop the formula auditing from working in one workbook without having to change settings in excel, is this possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a IF formula that check if “F13” cell is "+" if not do calculation (F13-E13) and stop, if yes go to the previous line and check if the “F12” is "+" if not do calculation (F12-E12) and stop, if yes continuo to the previous cell and so on until you find cell without “+”
The EXCEL IF formula is
=IF(F13="+",IF(F12="+",IF(F11="+",IF(F10="+",IF(F9="+",IF(F8="+",E8-F8),F9-E9),F10-E10),F11-E11),F12-E12),F13-E13). I'm looking for VBA code with FOR to run and do the same without the limitation of 7 if inside if.
I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.
A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use
=COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"),
and the next date comes along the formula changes to
=COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
i need to make a button that Immidiately stops all macro's, Or (and This will maby be little more difficult) Stop all macros on a specific time inserted in 1 cell
the macro's that i want to stop running, are all single macro's which i activate with only 1 button i created.
i like something like this:
if "A1"(this is the cell where i have my updated clock) == A2 (the time i insert here stops the macro's at this time) do stop Macro's
All I want to do is to stop a routine when I press the Cancel key on the user form that the routine called. I have tried "stop", "quit", "end", "abort", et. al. This seems so simple but I cannot figure out how to do it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf you run it now, ctrl t, it produces letters and changes alphabets as it hits a yellow box. If i change or add a yellow box, the letters change fine. The macro works perfectly, but instead of inputting the range or K3 to what ever, i would like to to run this macro and stop once it sees the row with the sort number of 4. ( this changes row postion depending on which sheet im working on, this is the problem).

Currently I just have my find function in an infinite loop and it stops when it runs into an error. This works well I guess, but I'd like to know how to stop after the last instance without error. Here's the code that I have been using:

Each of the timdown procedures adds another segment to the countdown clock (if you don't click "Exit" before the five seconds are up, the file closes without saving. All well and good.
Now, if you DO click the "Exit" button, you get a message that the close has been aborted and, upon clearing that messagebox, the file closes anyway!
I think it's something to do with killing all remaining OnTime instructions but I don't know how to go about stopping the clock.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel add-in that makes use of an Application-level event handler to detect when workbooks are activated / deactivated, and adjusts the command bars / ribbon accordingly. The add-in also includes a developer mode, so I have a shortcut key to stop the add-in while running, set the .IsAddIn property =False, and then change whatever settings I feel that I need to.
Problem is, when I run the shortcut to stop the add-in, and then run my shortcut to restart it, my event handling no longer works. I've done some MsgBox testing, and verified that the class module's "Initialize" event gets called, but subsequent events (i.e. WorkbookActivate) go unnoticed.
I'm wondering if Excel will allow me to start an Application event handler using WithEvents, stop it (by setting the class module variable = Nothing), and then re-start the event handling.

I use the following code to insert and delete a background picture upon opening and closing my workbook, but everytime it closes it asks me if I would like to save it even if I've already saved it just before closing. It does this because after the background is removed it senses a change. I would like to get this to stop, is it possible??
