Store Values Within A Cell To Make Them Selectable?
May 29, 2009
I do data entry for a webstore and one cell is used to map out the exact product category/subcategory path. I currently have to copy the appropriate path from a long list on one page and then paste it into the cell. I have to do this a hundred times a day. It would be nice if each cell within that column can have these values stored in them so I can just click on the cell and open up a drag down box and select the needed value. Is this possible to do in Excel?
If I put data into one of two cells I want it so that the other cell cannot be selected. I can't say I've struggled with this for days as I really don't know where to start
I have a worksheet where some cells contain a comment. I don't know beforehand how many of those cells are present, nor their address. I want to write a macro that stores the values of only the cells that contain a comment into an array (of course the size of the array is not known beforehand). This should be done by scanning through those special cells in a given order (by rows, by columns, whatever).
How to store a value in variable after concatenation of two values and putting it into the same cell.
Let assume, in cell A1, we have value 1 (numeric). And in code i have a variable with stored value as "%".
Now i want to concatenate 1 and % and put it back into cell A1 as 1%.
I have a written a code, but seems to be wrong one.
Sub Percentage() Per = "%" lr = Sheets("Process Overview").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row For i = 10 To Sheets("Process Overview").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row If Cells(i, 4).Value = "p" Then
I need a bit of help with the below macro which I am trying to create. I recorded the below vlookup, which works perfectly. It checks a list on sheet “Map” and returns a value depending on whether the reference is one of the 6 or not. These 6 are likely to change over time so I would prefer to declare them as variables rather than build them directly into the macro
In an excel i have 3 columns they it contains around 12000 records
Group FA Title A S1 bbbb A M1 xxxx A M2 eeeee A S1 ffffff A S1 pppp A M3 aaaaa A M2 ooooo A M2 qqqq A M1 ttttt
Here i need to get the unique FA, so i filter the column FA, my question is, After filter with FA column ,is there any way to store these unique FA(ie S1,M1,M2,M3) into an array using vba?
I am useing Excel 2003 and OPC server client for excel, and i am monitoring 6 values, that are changeing each second. I was trying to make a function to collect this information, so i could form a statistic table, but unfortunally with no success.
I can watch how the values are changeing their numbers, but i cant sotre the values in the rows below. Does anyone know how can i do this
I have a list of names from cell A1:A10 in sheet "Input." Each of these names has its own corresponding sheet in the workbook. I want to be able to run the same exact VBA code for each sheet. In other words, I am trying to get my name variable to automatically change to the next value on sheet "Input." I'm sure this is pretty simple to do, but I can't seem to find anything that works!
I try to make a macro that pastes 'Data'!K4 into 'Data'!L3 and then have that formula functioning in cell 'Sheet1'!A31.
The problem is when I try to make a macro to do this it will always paste the values that were recorded during the macro rather than the unique formula that is created via cell 'Data'!K4 at the time.
Is there any way to have A31 actively using the values that are created with 'Data'!K4? at all times?
I am trying to do some calculations as shown in the file. The MAcro has to show the formulas and then calculate the value, the problem is that the formulas change all the time and depends of Column A. Column A defines de Values that we will use so they will change as well. I have fould the way to copy one formula and make it usefull in the cell next to it but the problem are the cells that I named before. All my values change in each Loop and finish with the values of the last loop. I would like to save each value that corresponds to the variable (column A) and his formula, to then calculate.
Is this possible so that I can add cells (between B1 and C1) at a later date and have all the tab names change depending on the values I put in the cells?
Look at the tab "testing-allproduct" cell C2. If that value exists in the tab name "store-allproduct", cell c2, then take the value from "store-allproduct" cell a2, and put that value into "testing-allproduct cell" A2.
I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this? example:
A1 contains B B1 contains 2 B2 contains "tribbles"
Can a list box (or other type) be created that would come up and allow a selection of multiple items. I do not need the items to be viewable beyond the selection, only to be ablle to sum different segments of the rows that were selected.
As example: Upon clicking in cell B 141 of the sheet a box would come up that would include the descriptions (in column C) of all items that are between rows 1 and 140 that have identifeid by a "y" in Column B. Then you could select as many as you desired and the sum of the quantity (column d) of the selected items would then appear in D141.
I'm sure this is a very easy question, but I have been having trouble finding the answer on this and other forums.
Our macro has a search routine where it looks through a column for particular cell contents. Once those contents are found, we want it to save that cell's location, go do something else, and then return to that location afterwards. How would we go about doing this?
I am trying to use the COUNTIF function but over a selectable range. in other words instead of a fixed range like =COUNTIF(A1:A11,"=yes") I want to be able to choose the range Axx:Axx selected by drop down menus.
I am attempting to create a Menu (food) in Excel 2007. I have a list of foods that I would like to select once one is selected the next list would be for the next item and so on. I know how to create a drop down list but once I select an Item I would like the next list to narrow down the field (or choices). I am not sure I explained this well enough so here is another way to put it.
First Column would be a choice of meats. Beef, Chicken, Pork, etc. If you select say Beef the next column would be a veggie, Carrots, Peas, Green beans. But with Beef you cannot select Carrots. and so on.
If I create a pivot table, I'm able to click the arrow to the right on my row header, unselect "Show All" and then manually check boxes next to the rows I want to show. The pivot table then shows only the rows I'm interested in.
I can't figure out how to do this with filtering outside of the pivot table. I can select AutoFilter and then select "All", "Top 10" or individual rows, but I don't have the option to use a checkbox style selection to choose multiple, but not all, rows.
How can I set this up to have checkboxes associated with the AutoFilter dropdown so I can pick and choose which rows show?
What I am trying to do is during a loop operation, which subtotals variable ranges, I want to store the locations of the cells that it puts the sum function into. I.E. if based on criteria it determines that range E4:E12 is summed into E13, I need to save E13 to use in a formula once I'm out of the loop. I don't know how many instances it will find and there's the possibility in the future that not only will the number of instances increase, but the location could always be different as well. Any way to do this without a million lines of code.
I'm currently working with a fairly large worksheet, and I'm using Cells. Find to look for a specific cell. Then I want to Filter that column, but I can't figure out what column Selection.AutoFilter Field:=? should be.
I would like to record the address of the last set of cells that data was input into to a variable so that a user can choose to delete the last entry. An 'Undo' button really.
What I have is a user form that writes different materials to thier respective sheets in the database. (Material1, Material2, etc.) Some materials have a different number of variables (some have a width and some don't, but all have a quantity.)
This is the code I have for adding the material to the database (each material has it's own button with material specific code.)
Private Sub AddToMaterial1_Click() Set c = Worksheets("Material1").Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim lastenty1 lastentry1 = c.Address Dim lastentry2 lastentry2 = c.Offset(0, 1).Address Dim lastentry3 lastentry3 = c.Offset(0, 2).Address Dim lastentry4 lastentry4 = c.Offset(0, 3).Address Dim lastentry5 lastentry5 = vbNullString Dim lastentry6 lastentry6 = vbNullString
Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
The following code is what I am trying to do for a single button to clear the last entry to the database.
Private Sub RemoveLastEntry_Click() Range(lastentry1).ClearContents Range(lastentry2).ClearContents Range(lastentry3).ClearContents '(There is always at least 3 cells to clear) If lastentry4 = nullstring Then Exit Sub Range(lastentry4).ClearContents If lastentry5 = nullstring Then Exit Sub Range(lastentry5).ClearContents If lastentry6 = nullstring Then Exit Sub Range(lastentry6).ClearContents End Sub
I am trying to use the Indirect function to use the value in a cell to select a sheet with the same name as the value of said cell. I have looked at several posts and attempted multiple methods. I still get an error. I cannot find a thread describing exactly what I am trying to do, which is:
reference a cell value to direct the formula to the correct sheet to then complete an array Sumproduct formula.
Since this description barely makes sense to me reading it, I have attached an example. The problem is in cell C7. Basically, I want cell c7 to look at cell c1 and then go to the tab with the matching name as cell c1 and complete the calcuation.
I would just like to know if there is a way to add items to a drop down list that cant actually be selected.
Asking because I have a table from which the dropdown list gets populated and the user then selects a particular row but would like the header fields to also be added to the list just for reference.
I have attached the spreadsheet in question for reference.
Various test items are stored in columns. (First row of each column is the description of the test item)
Problem: 1) To reflect certain testdata in a chart I want to be able to select a different column (Y values) by means of a dropdownlist. X values are just the number of items (1 to ...)
How to make the charts data source selectable?
2) It seems that the input range of a ddl should be a list of items.
In my case they are in the first row of each column so only the first item is shown.
I have created a number of complex functions that use or create 1-dimensional numeric arrays in VBA, and I would like to store and retrieve some of these arrays within single cells of a worksheet so that I can use them in dependent functions without having to store and display the entire array with one element per cell, and without having to recalculate the same intermediate array multiple times within VBA.
Are there any existing worksheet or VBA functions (or is it possible to create two functions) that can convert and store an entire numeric array within a single cell of a worksheet (e.g., as text), and then convert this back into a form which can be read and recognized as a numeric array by another function?
Or is there any other way to avoid filling my worksheet with arrays, or having to recalculate them each time within VBA?
But when in column "A" is "Yes", I want to store in array each value within cell in B (in this example B2) to apply later a For/For Each over each number (in this example are 3 values only within cell B2), something like:
I am having trouble using the find function. I need to store a date as a variable and then find this date on another worksheet. The date is in the following format:
dd-mmm-yy
This is what I currently have which gives me a run time error 91:
Code: Dim DateSearch As Date DateSearch = Range("C3").Value
I have a table in which I have a "patient" column and a "page" column. The macro searches for a patient's number, then looks if this patient has the page "900.--". A patient may have more than one page, which will result in many rows with the same patient number. So far, my macro uses the search function to find a patient number, then compares the cell next to the active cell to see if it contains the page "900.--". If not, then my macro searches for the next patient and so on until the page is found and noted into another workbook or none is found.
In order to stop the loop, I am trying to store the address of the first cell found into a variable "rFirstCell" so that it can later on be compared to another variable, "rSecondCell", which represent the active cell. When both are the same, it means all the available search results have been tested and the loop should stop.
Sub testing() Dim rRng As Range, rFirstCell As Range, rSecondCell As Range Set rRng = Worksheets("Overview").[a1] Dim sDeath As String sDeath = "death" ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False If LCase(rRng(2, 15).Value) = "x" Then If LCase(rRng(2, 9).Value) = sDeath Then Workbooks("DM Endpoint pages_test.xls").Activate Range("A1").Select...........................
