I have built a "Calculator" that requires 6 pieces of information, I'm finding that 2 pieces are consistently overlooked, is there a way to have prompts for completion "blink" to capture attention. (I'm using an If statement to highlight a pointing hand using "B" and wingdings when the selection is not completed).
I have found some code that relies on a macro being activated I would like any effects to be automated while the cell is empty and turn of "blinking" by the formula entering null when a response is entered.
I'm working on setting up a report template for my manager, who is a very visual person. I'm trying to make certain values within the report more noticable by color change and flashing/blinking. I've been looking online for VBE code that causes flashing/blinking cells when cell conditions change. I've attempted using some code I was able to find and tried to manipulate it to fit my needs, however, I have not been able to get it to work.
I'm trying to get the text (not the background color) within a range (i.e.K11:K31) to flash continuously based on the cells value. The cells in question are linked to cells on another workbook which is updated on occasion.
Values may be as follows:
AP F-Avoidable F-Unavoidable P RC ON
Cells in the range K11:K31 are linked to a similar cell range on another worksheet (i.e. the formula used is: =IF(Datasource1!K15=0," ",Datasource1!K15) ).
I keep running into with the code I've found are as follows:
1. Due to the values in K11:K31 being the result of a formula, the values/cells are not flashing.
2. The flashing is not continuous (i.e. everything I've found so far has a time limit). I have been able to manipulate the code to extend the amount of time the flashing occurs, but so far I've been unsuccessful in causing it to loop infinitely.
3. All of the code I've found so far causes the background rather than the text to flash (this is a minor issue, more of a preference on my part)..
i am currently working on structural engineering program in excel. i want to know if there is code for a cell to blink the value on it. like for example in cell A1, i want to put a WARNING SIGN for that. i want it to blink so that it can be noticeable. is it possible?
Ive managed to get a rectangle blinking using a do loop. But I need more than one blinking at the same time. Atm when another starts blinking the first stops.
Using search i found many posts for blinking cells or flashing but i could not adapt any of them to what i need ,and since i dont know much how to, i need to blink an "Over Budget" text in cell O1, if N1 is >7000
I tried to change it to suit my need but it didn't work. I will paste here the first portion of the code that I changed
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 'Test the value of the specified cell If Target.Address = "$A$3" Then If Target.Value >= 12 Then Call Blinker(Target) End If End Sub
I changed it to:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() Dim R As Range For Each R In Range("$A$1:$A$10") If R.Value < "$B$1" Then Call Blinker Exit For End If Next R End Sub
As I don't have any formal education in VB editing, I don't even know that this is the correct way of doing it.
The other part of code that goes in standard module is unchanged. But I will post it here just for your ref:
Public Sub Blinker(ByVal rng As Range) Dim myCounter As Integer Do Until myCounter = 10 With rng.Interior If .ColorIndex = 6 Then .ColorIndex = xlNone Else .ColorIndex = 6...................
When I click a button on a Sheet, Certain data is copied from another sheet and paste in active sheet. While this action is taken place, whole sheet is refreshed and the image and a data is blinking for a second.
how to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?
I am working with a VBA userform and several textbox's, setting SetFocus and or TabIndex doesn't leave the box ready to accept input and there is no cursor shown to indicate it is ready to accept input.
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
I'm trying to get something like - If a cell contains certain text AND certain text then display set text OR If a cell contain certain text AND certain text then display set text.
For example: Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Petrol = vauxhall corsa petrol Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Deisel = vauxhall corsa Deisel Vauxhall Nova 1 litre Petrol = vauxhall nova petrol
So it the formula is effectively searching for the car type and the fuel type and then returning the relevant set text. So far I'ver only been able to find IF functions criteria to identify one feature of the text.
I'm thinking it's got to be variation on =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol") but there should be something else in there like =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa"&"Petrol",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol")
I know this is wrong but just trying illustrate my thinking. I need it to pick up vauxhall corsa AND petrol. I understand that I would have to stick a lot of IF functions together in a string, but that is fine as long as I can ask it to pick certain text AND certain text within a cell.
I have 10 cells in a column. I have a drop down list in each that is the same in each. If all 10 cells have the same item selected from the drop down list, I want a separate cell to list Yes or No. I've tried a few variations with no luck.
I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row) 2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders 3) Put the folder name into I2 4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this) 5) Close the text file 6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
So I have been playing around with the tab colors on my workbook and am trying to figure out the correlation between color brightness and the auto change from black text to white text. I've noticed that if the Green color value is higher, excel is more likely to use the black text. If Blue is high, white. Green takes precedence over Blue and Red is just kind of in its own world.how excel calculates this?
I am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
Is there a macro that will allow me to create text to row from a comma separated cell, but also associate the cell to its left automatically?
The table below exemplifies what I need. The top of the spreadsheet is how my data is currently. The portion after the break is how I would like it to be.
I am my excel worksheet (excel 2010) I have one cell that changes every day (number). I want this number to open my htm document and replace the same number in a string in the htm and save/close this.
An example: My htm document is located at C:/ and named XX.htm
The number I want from excel is in cell A1 in sheet1, and the worksheet is located in D:/ named yy.xlsx
And the text(number) I want to replace is in the following string in the htm document, in this string it is 72, next day it can be 30:
I have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.
Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.
It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.
When I copy from Excel 2003 (values & formulas) and paste special into Excel 2007 i get the option screen to select unicode text,sylk etc instead of the other screen with the option of values,formulas,formats etc.How can I select the option for value,formulas? Sorry cannot attach a screen shot as it is above the allowed limit.
I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?
I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
I can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.
Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.
I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?
I generated my urls to online photos, I referenced cells where some are only numerical (ex. 479) while others contain a numerical/text mix (ex. 3014-RACK). Here is my url code in excel...
how to Chk the text string in particular cell, compare it with a super set column and get the full from of the text string from another corresponsing column and the output will be corresponsing full form of the chked text string?
I am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.
