User Friendly Way To Display Range Value
Jul 14, 2009
I am writing a macro in which the user selects several ranges (entire columns) for the macro to manipulate. I display a userform to the user that contains 16 refedit objects (1 for each range that they picked). Unfortunately, the value that appears in the refedit boxes is not very user-readable. It looks like this:
'[WorkBookName.XLS]Sheet1'!$B$5
I can assume that all of the ranges will reside in the same workbook, so I have been cutting the workbook name portion off as a string and displaying it in 1 place only. I can leave the value of the refedit as: Sheet1'!$B:$B, but even that is not very friendly. Of course if I do change the value of the refedit controls then I will need to "fix" them before attempting to access the range.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to display the sheet and column of the range to the user?

attached is a sample schedule, there is conditional formatting in all of the cells (see graphic) such that if the cells to the left are the same value, then the cell is turned white, and a border is removed.
This gives the appearance of a 'block of time' while which cleans up the appearance of the spreadsheet.
the problem i have is that when we scroll to the RIGHT, we lose track of the 'left most' cell...which is black of course, the similar ones to the right are intentionally whitened out.
a perceived solution would be to change the conditional formatting of the column (actually only the cells in the column we care about) when it is NEXT to the vertical freeze pane so that it appears not in white, but in black font, etc.
the TRICKY part is that we will obviously need to go back and forth, so the columns will need to change formatting often.
or
when the column number (or letter) next to the freeze pane changes, change the formatting to certain cells in that column to an alternate version; and change the formatting of all other certain cells within other columns to original formatting[

I ‘m trying to put a drop down combo box on each sheet (around the top right) of a workbook (20+ sheets). The drop down list will have each sheet in the workbook. Selecting the sheet name in the list will make that sheet the active sheet. I plan to remove the tabs from the window, because only about a third of the tabs display at once, and right clicking to the right of the tabs only displays about 2/3 of the sheets.
When I was searching this topic, I found a post that used AllWorkSheets function to create an array of worksheet names and the procedure adds it to the data validation in cell "A1". I don’t have the same cell available on all the sheets, at least not at the top of the page, so I thought a combo box that can be moved would be a good solution, but I’m open to any suggestions that allows the user to navigate the sheets w/o a macro always running or a form always open.

I have a file that contains detailed sales information for each sales person. It typically contains over 20k records and the managers find it difficult to look up their sales people.
Currently it is subtotaled for each sales person but there are about 450 sales people across the country and it's not easy to use.
I have seen other Excel files that use buttons and I am wondering if this might be the solution to this issue. In other words, can I create a button where the managers can just click it, key in their sales person's name and get at the records easier? If so, how does that work? How I could make this file more user friendly.

User to select two cells which are the desired sheet name (all sheet names are unique) and then click macro to jump to that sheet in the workbook. There will be over 100 sheets in the workbook.

I have a worksheet with 30,000 rows. But sometimes even if I have fewer records in this worksheet(lets say 1000) worksheet shows the same 30,000 rows.And its annoying when you try to navigate using vertical scroll bar. Is there any option to re-adjust the worksheet to make it more user friendly based on number of rows in current sheet.

I have a few questions here.
1) Can a userform procedure be place in the midst a larger macro, so that it can get input from the user before running the rest of the macro? ie If the user leave the input field blank, the macro will exit will a msgbox.
2) I have a range(A1:A3) that i want my userform to display. This range is dynamic. The user will require to input the corresponding country next to it. how do i code the this? I will need to use a listboxes and textboxes right?
for example: userform shows city on the left, user will need to input the country on the right.
A1 - California (user input on the right)
A2 - Shanghai (user input on the right)
A3 - Mumbai (user input on the right)

I want to display a control to the user so they can select a folder. I'm assuming that the proper control would be the FileSystemObject.
If that assumption is correct, I would think the first part of the code would be something like:
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject

I have created an additional column and created hypelinks in front of each product. these hyperlinks are connected to the datasheet of that product which is saved on the drive.
I have created a field on the userform to display the respective hyperlink when a record is searched by user.
My problem is that the user form displays the hyperlink name, but its dead.
I want users to be able to click on the hyperlink to view the attached Datasheet. I have tried using Textbox and labels to display this hyperlink,

I would like to create a user form that will display the results from a lookup formula. The userform would have 2 textboxes, so from the formula below BZ109 would be textbox1 and CA109 textbox2. Once data is entered in these textboxes you would hit submit to return the results in a message box. What would the code be for the sumbit button?
=VLOOKUP(BZ109, INDIRECT(CA109), 11, 0)

I'm using VBA to upload the open workbook to app.box URL which is working great! Since I'm pretty new to VBA, I can't figure out how to get Excel to display the sucess/failed message from the server to the user. I used the VBA POST upload module from this awesome tutorial, but I can't figure out how to return the message to the user. I did figure out that on the website there is an "id="after_upload_message", not sure if that works. My code is below.

Hoping someone would be able to help me with this. I have a sheet (example attached) and this sheet has a number of varying description types in the W coloumn (usually approx 10,000 rows). This field is manually input so there could be spelling mistakes and/or non standard descriptions.
What I would like, if possible, is a macro that would look at the D column and if this is 'GENERAL LEDGER', it would then look at the W column.
An input box would come up, and would list the different descriptions it found in column W, and number them. It would only list each different description once.
e.g.
1. Bank charges
2. Bank charge
3. Cash
4. Fund Custodian Fees
5. Fund Manager fee
6. Interest income cash account
7. Interest income cash acc
8. Miscellaneous expenses
9. Miscellaneous income
10. Other income
11. Sec lending comm
12. Sec lending commission income
13. Tax Reclaimable - Dividends
14. Withholding tax dividend
The user would then be able to type in the corresponding numbers, if possible seperated by a space, comma or semicolon and the macro would then run through the sheet and delete the entire row if D was GENERAL LEDGER and W was the selected description.

I have a form that asks at what row the user wants to start with a selected range then how many rows to select. There will always be 21 columns selected with this range. I am still learning but it has to do with something on how I am setting the Start object. It is not being recognized.
Dim Row As Long
Dim Selection As Long
Dim Start As Range
Row = txtStartRow
Selection = txtHowMany
Set Start = Range("A" & txtStartRow).Select
Range(Start & ActiveCell.Offset(Selection, 20)).Select

This code works fine if i use static ranges, but i would like the user to input the column in which the data is stored.
'Get data for the locations of the gaming license numbers needed for the comparison
varPlayerHost = InputBox("Please enter a single letter for the" + vbCrLf + _
"Column that the Player Host License" + vbCrLf + _
"numbers are in.", "Player Host Number Location", "H")
varHostLicense = InputBox("Now enter the column letter for the copied employee" + vbCrLf + _
"license numbers", "Employee License Number Location", "U")
'Set the ranges for the data to be compared
'This is where I am getting the error???
Set rRangeA = Range([varPlayerHost,1], Range(varPlayerHost, 65536).End(xlUp))
Set rRangeB = Range([varHostLicense,1], Range(varHostLicense, 65536).End(xlUp))
'The actual comparison and deletion of record that match the license numbers copied.
'When this function finishes you will be left with a spreadsheet that only has patron
'information left for the patrons that have an invalid host number.
For Each rCell In rRangeA
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(rRangeB, rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next rCell
This exact code is kicking an error
"Run Time error 1004"
"Method 'Range' of Object '_Global' failed"

I'm trying to get a users' selected range to display in a cell as stored text.
therefore, If a user selects A1:D7. The text in Cells("G", 10) will be:"A1:D7"
w/o the quotes.
I've attached an example workbook.
Here's the formula thus far:
Sub SelectRangeBox()
Dim rnBody As Range
Dim vaMsg As Variant
Do
vaMsg = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please enter the message-text:", _
Title:="Message", _
Type:=2)
Loop While vaMsg = ""................................
Actuall maybe my thread should be Titled. user selected cell range displayed in input box save to cell as a text value.

I'm having some issues getting a tool I'm working on to function correctly. I have some cells, the number of which can vary based upon user requirement, that contain cell addresses. What I need from VBA is to translate these addresses into usable row, column values for the user defined range. Example:
Cell D4 contains F14, which was input by the user.
What is the best way to pass this data through VBA. Right now I am currently using:
Code:
Dim strRange as String 'left out loop parameters
dim TempRange as Range
strRange(i) = Cells(4, 4) 'using TypeName on StrRange at this point yields a string result as expected
set TempRange = Range(strRange(i))
From my understanding that should work but I am getting type mismatch.
I do not have any reason for actually using a string, but would like the user input to only be 1 cell. If there are cleaner ways around this, I am open to them.
Then from the range, I would have two other variables as type long for storing the row and column data using:
Code:
Pathing_Rows = TempRange.Row
Pathing_Cols = TempRange.Column

What I need to have happen is that the user decides what duplicate row to delete. The reason that there is a duplicate is that Row 1 has something different from Row 2. In my example above, CU1 is different from CU2. This is what caused this loan number from CR to be duplicated. I need to delete at my discretion one of the 2 rows.
What I would like is to have the user Select Range CR1:CR2 (this is relative in the sheet), run the macro, have it select the 2 row range, compare (relative) B1:B2 are they equal, compare C1:C2, are they equal, etc through the rest of the range. I would like the screen to update and stop with the range highlighted that is and and a MsgBox to click ok to Continue, then continue through the rest of the range.

I have a protected worksheet with a mixture of locked and unlocked cells, and I'd like to provide an option to allow the user to select a large range of mixed (locked and unlocked) cells and, in the unlocked cells only, pre-populate with a standard formula.
I've got most of it working, but what I need is the specific code that allows the user to specify the range of cells they want the macro to act on.

I have searched for code in the forum to help me here but could not get any of the possible choices to work for me. I have a spreadsheet that is password protected but would like the user to be able to change the color of the fonts based on the user's choice. The protected page (one of many in the spreadsheet) has various cells that are unlocked so that the user can enter data. The rest of the page is locked. I have allowed all users of the worksheet to Select Unlocked Cells only. I have attempted to allow them to Format cells as well, but each time the program is re opened this feature is no longer working. (The program has a macro that ensures it opens in protected mode each time.)
So I would like to set up a Macro that allows the users to set the color of 6 rows and 5 columns based on their choice. An example of the configuration is:
1234Color Choice
A11016221
B21117232
C31218243
D41319254
E51420265
F61521276
Using the above format, I am imagining the I would have a Key with color codes (using the ColorIndex Properties). The user would type in the appropriate number for each row and click a button and the rows (5 cells each) would change to the selected color.

I create a macro which ask the user to input a formula(user can select a range in the excel screen), then I copy this formula to a specific row of every worksheets.
The problem is Application.InputBox("Insert a Formula", "This accepts Formula", 0+2) can not return the formula, it will automatically evaluate this formula and return a value!
This code is:
Sub CreateNewItem1()
Dim bFormula As String
hi=10
Application. ScreenUpdating = True
' here is the INPUTBOX-method :
On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
bFormula =Application.InputBox("Insert a Formula", "This accepts Formula", 0+2 )
On Error Goto 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "You have inserted bFormula is:" & bFormula
'Cells(hi, 2).Select.FormulaLocal = bFormula
' MsgBox Cells(hi, 2).Select.FormulaLocal
Call CreateNewItem2((hi)) 'call the copy formula macro

I'm trying to find a way to import data from an external CSV file. I've used the import data function off the menu, so know how that works. However, I want to change how that works slightly by forcing the user to select a specific cell start the import at, as well as force certain of the options. Once the import is complete, I then need to fire off a custom macro. The only other option I can think of is to write a completely custom import screen, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
