Stuck In Design Mode?
Apr 29, 2008
For some strange reason the workbook I have been using on a daily basis has suddenly decided to go into design mode and stay there. No matter how many times I click the design mode button in and out it always stays in and I can't use my buttons.....it just selects them?

I seem to be stuck in "Full Screen" mode. When I go to the View menu, both "Full Screen" and "Normal" are highlighted. I can't seem to get out of Full Screen.
I am using Excel 2003, XP SP3 installed. This just started this am. I did download and install Microsoft patches this am. ???
I am able to save and use Excel but without normal view my formating buttons etc. are not available.

I have a production report card spreadsheet with numerous checkboxes. Originally I also had text boxes for user input - which I have since removed all of and simply unlocked cells for user input (I protect the spreadsheet). My problem is that now that I have removed ALL of the textboxes - I get the error message "Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox3' can not be created." everytime I go to lock the spreadsheet after tweeking or upon opening of the file. I also cannot use the checkboxes now because I am stuck in design mode.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this...or better yet...how to stop the error msg altogether? I googled and no answers...some theories that it was a bug with excel2003...but I find it hard to believe as I found posts for the same message of users of WORD2003...so I am thinking it might be VBA related?

I've created a spreadsheet that has a number of command buttons acting as hyperlinks navigating to other worksheets within the workbook and other files. The buttons only function when in design mode and no matter what I try the document will not open in design mode. For ease of use I wanted to avoid training people on how to go into design mode, anyone aware of a work around?

I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.
I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.
Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?

I am a happy user of Office 2007 and a casual coder. I am familiar with most of the basics of coding and enabling macos. However today, when I attempted to add some code to a workbook, I noticed that Excel would not actually enter design mode. Even though the design mode button will toggle and stay in the "on" mode, I cannot access VB property panel for any controls, even standard contols. Also, I am forced to CTRL-CLICK objects to select them and then am only presented with standard "Format Control" option, not object properties.
One other odd sympton... I can use the macro recorder to add code to a control (a checkbox for example), but when I try to manually add a line of code referencing that object (using the default name), the VB editor does not recognize the object. For example the IDE would not recognize and code a line for the "checked" property of a checkbox control when I check the box while in macro record mode.
These symptoms suggest to me that there is something wrong with the design mode "switch".
This all used to work fine, but it's been a while and many MS updates to my Windows 7/64 machine (now about 4 years old).

Can you change the height of a TextBox in a workbook when not in Design Mode? Like just grab the bottom and resize.

Is it possible to use design mode to create a button for multiples macros?
What i want to do is create like a list, and every selection run a different macro. I have a report that i want to use macro to make different filter selections, it would be about 20 different filters combination, so 20 buttons would be a mess... Is that possible or can i do it in another way?
And is possible to link the filter value to a different cell?

I am using the following array formula "=SUM($I$35:$I$1000*($G$35:$G$1000=$B$10))" which works fine but if there is nothing to sum it returns "0", but I would prefer a blank cell if there is nothing to sum.

I have a client that enters a lot of data into various spreadsheets, we recently upgraded her computer and along with it upgraded Office to 2013. Since that has happened she has experienced some issues with navigating cells in Excel. What will happen is she will be typing than tabbing or using the arrow keys and all of a sudden the active cell will get stuck on one of them. Arrow keys do not move the cursor to the next cell and the only way for her to fix it is to alt tab to another spreadsheet and then back to the one she was working on. Once that is done it is working fine.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when this happens to her. I have re-installed (used the big one that re-downloads from the web), it has no add-ins on either that are conflicting and I know it is not the keyboard since when I log in through TeamViewer while it is happening I am also unable to move with the arrow keys.

I am currently stuck with a drop down list problem. I am trying to make a benchmarking solution for a group of 20 stores. All stores sell products uniformly and their sales are displayed in percentages of the cumulative total. Currently there is a benchmarking page where all stores sales per product is displayed, however I would like the ability to select specific stores data from a drop down list. I have pictures displaying the basic concept of what I want to achieve.
stores.PNG
On the left a list of products and the quantities sold in percentages per store for benchmarking purposes.
What I would like to achieve relates to the drop down list on sheet 2.
store 1.PNG
Here store 1 can see its sales in percentages, and has a drop down list to compare to different stores. If store 3 is selected I would like the data to be pulled into that column from the benchmarking sheet and the same goes for the other stores of course.

I have the following code that gets stuck in the Loop and will not stop unless I press the Esc key:
Sub WIP()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim newRow As Long
Set ws1 = Sheets("PAYCALC")
Set ws2 = Sheets("WIP")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ws2
.Range("A2:C" & .Range("A2:C2").End(xlDown).Row).Clear
End With
x = 10
lastrow = ws1.Range("C5").End(xlUp)
Do
newRow = ws2.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ws2.Cells(newRow, 1) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Offset(-2, 0).Value
ws2.Cells(newRow, 2) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Value
ws2.Cells(newRow, 3) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Offset(3, 0).Value
x = x + 21
Loop Until x >= lastrow
There's a twist to this. I have the same identiclecode in a different module. The only difference is ws2 is different and there are 7 newRow's. Other then that the two are the same.
That one works just fine without getting stuck. It will go through 200+ sets of records and stop when it reaches the last one.
The one above will not stop even though I just put in three records on ws1 for testing.

=IF(M7="","",IF(K8=J8,K8&$J$3&I8,IF(K8=I8,K8&$J$3&H8,IF(K8=H8,K8&$J$3&G8,IF(K8=G8,K8&$J$3&F8,K8&$J$3&J8)))))
I have tried several options, ISERROR(FIND(.................also EXACT(........ and they all seem to get stuck, after the second expression.
Basically, I have a ROW of Cells, with numbers inside them, like so:-
F8.....G8....H8....I8...J8....K8
27.....33....10.....4....4.....4
And looking from right to left, I am asking this question:-
If K8=J8, then I will have K8 & I8 as my result.
If K8=I8, then I will have K8 & H8 as my result.
If K8=H8, then I will have K8 & G8 as my result.
If K8=G8, then I will have K8 & F8 as my final result, Else its K8&J8 as my FALSE.
(the $J$3 = a comma, for number separation, and further LEN string capture.)
Every time I have made this formula, with other types of Logic, it only ever finds the second tier depth as the result,
and I wonder why, since they are several nested IF statements in line!!
The incomplete Excel sheet is attached : S 1_2 tracker Forum.xlsx
The result of the above formula should be 4,10
But instead I get 4,4

I am supposed assign macro to track all employees hierarchy in an organisation.
In Sheet1 I have Employee ID's in D Column and Supervisor ID's in N Column.
And In Sheet2 I assigned macro...
What exactly I need is when I give number and click the button I need all the employee id's in his hierarchy
Concept:
The number which you give should search in N Column and Display D Column Values...and those D column values should search in N column and display D column values....so on.....
So far, it is showing 1 level hierarchy...but I need till end...

I've been reading some threads lately about worksheet design and wanted you advice on something.
I have a worksheet that is about 7.5mb. The details of the worksheet are:
A. 19 total worksheets within workbook, three are visible
B. 1 master worksheet (raw data) that is updated monthly
C. There are 13 worksheets (for each outer office) that pull data from the master.
D. A couple of "Summary" sheets that summarize totals, profits, losses for each area
Situation is this....All code runs fine, but when it's time to save the worksheet it is kind of slow doing so b/c of size.
Would you suggest making a seperate WORKBOOK for the outer offices? I gave this a try yesterday and it worked fine, but I also added code to save once the data was extracted and that part took about 5-6 seconds (I know that's not horrible, but I'm comparing it to previous times).

I am going to attempt to design a production spreadsheet which does the following:
1.Orders are put on one page of the spreadsheet (Order Tab) The order is put on listing, Customer, Sizes, Qty etc
2.The user is then able to select an order and if possible I would like a pop up calendar to appear in which the user can then select a production date.
3.One the production date has been selected I want it to open up a new tab if one doesn’t already exist and then cut the information from the order tab and then paste it into the production day.
I have provided a spreadsheet of what I want to achieve but I am unsure if this is possible.

I am in the midst of developing a Userform with a purpose of entering/retreiving and amending data. A rough approximate of about 50 sets of 3 text boxes is required for user to type in data. Is there a kind of limit or performance issues if there are so many text boxes available? What other ways would make it work? Would appreciate some advice from the veterans in this field.

im trying to make a few things work at different stages.
1. Im TRYING to create a not so simple programme with Excel for My Wifes Creche - She would like to have a programme that, when she gets a phone call from a parent to check availabilty in lets say - 3 months time, it reports back with a number of availabiltys for that date in a specific room.
2. Rooms are broken in 4 categories ( up-to 12 mths old "Baby room" 12 mths to 2 yrs "Wobblers room" 2-4 yrs "Toddlers room and finaly Playschool,)
3.So far what i have done is this =IF(G2<$A$1,"",IF(G2<$A$1039,"Baby",IF(G2<$A$1404,"Wobbler", IF(G2<$A$1770,"Toddler",IF(G2<$A$2290,"Playschool",
which gives me a room from inputting the Date of Birth.
4. ive then used the form button to give me the option to add edit and delete entries from the headings (First name Last name Date of Birth Room -but this will show once DOB is entered.
5. i have tried to run the =COUNTIF(A2:A7,"Baby") to try and get the total baby spaces taken up at a given date however this wont work for me and isnt giving any error message, just a blank cell.

The spreadsheet I have designed is to be input offshore by one group, and the values that get put in this shared workbook will feed into another shared workbook (for reference and ease, I will call one offshore. book and the other uk.book).
It seems that I have to save the offshore.book (so could I use some autosave code, for every 5mins or so? I dont have the plugin so would have to write it in), then hit update links in the uk.book (again, I presume I could write this so it triggers off every 30mins or so, but can be done manually if required). It seems abit fiddly doing this, but this is the way they wanted it done (my idea was to put into a database, but got out voted).
The figures in the uk.book would simply be a vlookup. However, we do not want the uk team to be able to look at the other book so would the links still work properly? (ie there would only be one open workbook at a time - direct access to each others spreadsheets shouldnt occur.)

Trying to convert an Excel 2003 macro to work in Excel 2007.
The problem line is
Dim MyDataObject As DataObject
I suspect the problem is a Missing Reference, but I cannot figure out which one. I have the same ones (in 2007) as 2003 except for one which is not showing
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
Is this the one it needs? It is called something else in 2007?
The ones I do have ticked are
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library
Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DDL and Security
