Until lately users wanted to add comment as long as a paragraph , and it did not work any more . Is it a length restrictions , and how its possible to add longer comment .
I have tried text as length below @ 143 char (it did not work)
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Evelen Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty TwentyOne
I get the results printed until Sixteen. @ 97 Character.
making a macro that will scan for duplicates, length & empty cells.
I have the sample file below that does conditional formatting but it doesnt help as much because I want to show the reason for the highlight's on a comment instead.
sample file : [url]
file that might help out: [url]
checks would be: column A - duplicates and/or length should not be over 100 characters column B - duplicates column F - should only contain 2 comma's(or 3 keywords) all columns - check if no entries are found(empty cells)
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If: Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
how do i protect a cell from being changed? I don't want to protect the whole worksheet, just a few cells within a worksheet? I have tried the Allow Range Users function, but cannot get it to work? Kind regards, Michele
how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
I've got an question about using excel macros to search for information in a database with certain restriction. In my attachment you can see an example of the database I use.
Example.xls
I've got a database with certain packages, the length and the width of these packages is known. I've also got a database with certain products, the length and the width of these products is also known.
I want to use a macro which allows me to see which packages are useable for a certain product. A package is useable if the length/width is less then 10 bigger then the product. So in the example if the width is between 10~20 and the length between 40~50.
Originally I thought I could use a macro with advanced filter and having restrictions width >10 <20 and length >40 <50. But I can't fit this in as macro because I already get the width and length from the product from another database and macro so it can't say >40 only 40.
I have multiple tabs and each tab has an invoice. In the summary tab, I want to grab certain cells ie. Invoice #, Number of items, and total invoice amount.
The tricky part is, although the format for each invoice is the same, the product list for some invoices may be longer in some invoices (which will affect the total amount - aka total amount may be in cell F40 instead of F10).
Since I get these invoices on a regular basis, I would really like to create a macro where it will just find the items I need and paste it in the summary. I have no problems making this file work if the items are all in the same cell and format for each tab.
Is there a way that I add instructions/restrictions to the push buttons on my form (basically they perform filter functions). For instance, currently the only way to search the client or employee name is to enter the entire name. Is there a way to allow partial name searches?
Can I have a message appear that says "'Joe Shmo' can not be found".
Also I would like the input box not allow blank searches. If the input box is selected but then closed with no data entered, it filters for blanks which removes all data.
I have attached a sample of my form for you to look at.
Per the attached, I am looking to add restrictions to my formula based on YEARS OF SERVICE per the age restrictions each person falls into, those with 0-4 YOS who are under 20 years old etc.
I have two cells, both of which have drop down lists for options 'a' & 'b'. When one equals 'a' the other should be restricted into only saying 'b' and vice versa. I would also like the user to be reminded that he can only select 'a' once from the two menus. Ideally I would like to do this in a formula rather than VBA?
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them. For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?
I have a vlookup to another workbook. It works fine if both workbooks are open. But if both are not open and I open the workbook with the links and click Update, #VALUE! returns. I have attached the two files. I don't think it is my formula, but here it is anyway. =IF( COUNTIF([Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$A$83,A3),VLOOKUP(A3,[Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$L$82,12,FALSE),0)
I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'! D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
I have been trying to remove or disable the message on update to other worksheet " To update all linked click yes......" I have try the following unsuccessfully
Sub auto_open() Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False End Sub
On the menu bar choose Edit ---> Links Can not choose manual, as the option is grey out (disable) I would prefer a vba solution, but I am open to anything to get rid of this message
I have one source spreadsheet, where are columns NAME, DATE. I read these data by ADO to other spreadsheet, where I can change/delete data and then run macro for update data in source spreadsheet. The problem: In source spreadsheet is column "NAME" and column "DATE", with values e.g. "Joseph"; 1.1.1980. I read this data to other spreadsheet, then I delete in it value 1.1.1980. When I run macro Update, it messages error.
Sub UpdateItem ... .Fields.Item(1).value = activecell 'activecell value = "Joseph" If Not isempty(activecell.offset(0,1)) Then .Fields.Item(2).value = activecell.offset(0,1).value Else .Fields.Item(2).value = "" 'I tried Empty and 0 too but when I read data again then, it displays 0.1.1900, nothing works End If ... End Sub
It seems that in source spreadsheet has data in column "Date" format Date and when I try to update data in format String ("") in source spreadsheet by Update macro, it messages error. When I used
.Fields.Item(2).Value = Empty ' or .Fields.Item(2).Value = 0
after rereading data it displays 0.1.1900 What I want to get is that if the cell with date (in other spreadsheet) is empty, the cell in column Date in source spreadsheet after updating will be blank (contains no values).
I am trying to to get it to work so that if there is a comment already in the cell then it would skip to the next macro. Here is what I am trying:
'Mgr Voids If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End ElseIf Range("F9").Value > 50 Then MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For " & Range("F6")) ElseIf MyInput = "" Then End ElseIf MyInput = False Then End ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468") ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & "" ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468") End If
The first part (If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End) obviously doesn't work because I have no clue how it supposed to be... I was just hoping to get lucky. Any help would be appreciated.
I am creating a table for a depreciation schedule. I am having the user enter the year the asset was purchased and the expected useful life (in years) into the input box and I want the output table to show only the amount of years useful years the assets has. Every year after that should not be shown on the table.
I have a worksheet in Excel 2007. I have "wrap text" turned on in column G and so long as the character count doesn't exceed 255 the text will wrap and display properly. However, when the number of characters in a cell of column G exceed 255 the display in the cell turns to all pound signs (#). The content of the cell is displayed in the URL line but it is all # in the cell. How can I fix this?
