Using '=A1' To Get Cell Text, And Using The Formatting FROM Cell A1 [] Almost
Its been a while since Ive been on here, and again I am rusty ... I hate to ask a stupid question but after searching I realized I didn't know what I was searching for :-)
When you use the code in a cell " =A1 " for example, the text of A1 is copied to the new cell. HOWEVER, the original text formatting is lost.
An example would be: " This text on this line... " becomes
" This text on this line... " when using the ( =A1 ) code.
If you right click and copy/paste, you can select ' paste special , formatting and values ' and the original format is transferred.... But, can this be done with basic Excel functions ? (NO VBA will be on this project) ...

Using 'IF' With Conditional Format (change Cell Color Based On The 'P' Or 'F')
My cell has a 'P' or an 'F' plus some additional text. I'm trying to change cell color based on the 'P' or 'F' but I can't get it to recognize the letters. Samples of what I've tried: =IF(LEFT(L23,1)=P) =IF(MID(L23,1,1)=P) etc. I can 'FIND' the 'P' or 'F' but there may be a P or F else where in the cell so the color may come up incorrect. I'm trying to get it to just look at the first character in the cell. Can the 'IF' be used with CFs?

How To Restrict The Cell Data To Letters 'a' Through 'e' AND 'A' Through 'E'
I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E. What I am looking for 1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that. 2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column. 3) Nice-to-have. If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.

Run-time Error '1004' :: Method 'Range' Of Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me Run-time error '1004' Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging. Here is the code that I am using. This is in the Personal Macro book on the "This Workbook" section....

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed. The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.

Run-time Error '1004': Methd 'Range' Of Object '_Global' Failed
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Add' Of Object ' Sheets' Failed Adding Multiple Sheets
I have been running a simulation for about 18 hours now and just received: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Add' of object ' Sheets' failed I have been creating new sheets, importing data, pulling some values from the data then deleting the respective sheet. I am using: ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) The sheet is actually being added to the workbook, seemingly before the error. I resume the code, and a new sheet is placed in the workbook and it errors again. The Debugger stops and highlights on the code above.The sheet count number was 10895 at the error, just as an indicator of how many times the simulation has performed successfully. I am hoping this is something I can fix without having to start over...

Run Time Error 1004 - Method 'Range' Of 'Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far... When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])" is highlighted in the debugger. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.

Copy 'x' Cell Value Evey Nth Cell Along On Same Row
Have often used this site, but now need an answer to something a little more specific. I would like to create a forumlae/function that would allow me to copy a cell value 'x' into every 'y' cell along. e.g copy cell x every 3rd cell along (in same row). The formulae must allow for 'y' to be of any value between 1-5 as this can change. I have attached a screenshot, as pictures are probably much better than my text above.

Cell Formatting Won't Update
My problem is the data and getting the formula's to read it. I copied and pasted the data from a pivot table and the columns are set to accounting two digits. But thats not what shows in the cell. Each cell shows many digits. The formulas are working now if I put the curser in the cell and select return. The values then update to the accounting format it is supposed to be already and everything works fine.

Formatting Won't Apply To My Cell With A Formula
I downloaded the checkbook register from Microsoft.com and am trying to add a few cells at the end to quickly calculate my outstanding debits and credits so that I can balance my statements automatically. I figured out how to write the formula properly (eventually), but the cells will not take on the currency format no matter what I do. I have tried pasting the format from the other cells within the register, tried clearing the format and reapplying the currency format, tried accounting, etc.

Passing Cell References From A Cell's Text To LINEST Function And A Graph
I'm using Excel 2003 and I'm trying to make my LINEST function and the source cells for a scatter graph use the cell range specified in another cell in the document. I figured out that it was simple to do the following: I250 contains: 10, shows: 10 I251 contains: ="I"&I250, shows I10 But I can't figure out how to do this in a larger function. I've tried a few things but none of them work. Here is an example where I want it to do a LINEST with y values in cells Ja - Jb and x values in cells Ia - Ib (where a and b are integers specified in cells I250 and J250 respectively):

Run-Time Error '1004' Cannot Open PivotTable Source File 'Consolidated Report'
I have a macro that takes the date from different excel sheets, consolidates the data and renders the pivot table and chart accordingly. It was working fine when the date range defined for the pivot table was static. Now I have made it dynamic since the data range changes each month depending on the number of days it has got. When I run the macro, it runs succesfully, generates the report and save & close the report, but after that I am getting this error. Errorneous

Conditional Formatting With Month And 'Dates Occurring'
I'm trying to keep track of training dates for employees. I have my spreadsheet conditionally formatted to highlight dates according to months, based on if the training date is due: next month, this month, last month, or 2 months ago; all different colors. I used "Format only cells that contain" and then used "Dates occurring." The spreadsheet worked perfectly until this month; evidently it doesn't recognize Jan of 2010 being "Next Month," so those cells aren't highlighted. Current formatting is custom, mmm-yy. I tried different date formats but it didn't change anything. Is there a better way to do this?

Error 1004 Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have a cet of CommandButtons on sheet 1. The code for these buttons is in the code section of the sheet. A named range is referenced in this code. This named range is on sheet 2. Every time I try to reference this or any named range (from any other sheet), I get this "Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" The last time I had this error I was able to fix it by moving the code to Module1. I tried that here, but it did not work (I can't figure out how to call it from the sheet). CommandButton. Here is the code from the sheet for one of the buttons: Private Sub TBEnterUp_Click() iLast = Range("WBDate_DayLast").Value '<<<<<<< iItem = TBEnter.Value If iItem = iLast Then TBEnterUp.Visible = False Exit Sub End If TBEnter.Value = iItem + 1 If iItem > 0 Then TBEnterDown.Visible = True End Sub It is a simple number advancer. It is working in the UserForm I took it from. I have included a sample file of the problem. Feel free to look at it and borrow anything in it that you might like.

Display 'Date' Cell As Blank Instead Of Default Year 1900
Three columns. A - Date last checked B - Due Date C - Actual Date checked Currently column B is formatted to Date and simply has =A+84 and will display a date 3 months in future. However if there is no date in column A, then column B displays a default 1900 date.. Is there a way of making this blank if there is no date in col A?

Create Macro That Just Types 'special' At End Of Cell
I have something I've been trying to figure out for quite some time. I have to add the word 'special' at the end of various cells that has text already in it. Is there a macro that does this? Everytime I create one, it wipes out the text and adds the word 'special' instead. I need it to add the word 'special' at the END of the text that's already in there.

Both 'Private Sub Workbook_Open' And 'Auto Open' Run Sequentially
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew. Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True. Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed Error
I start in my "Action Plan for For Single Market" worksheet and if I click on the Command Button I then want to read in a couple of variables, and jump to a second worksheet (called "Market Action Plans") where I then want to copy a range, and then paste it in another area in that same sheet. I thought I had worked out what to do, but when I execute I get a "run-time error 1004" when the macro gets to the "Range("Updated_Results").Copy" line. Excel describes the error as "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed'" - which might as well be a foreign language as far as I am concerned! Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Current_Market_Row = Range("Current_Market_Row") First_Col_Action_Desc = Range("First_Col_Action_Desc") Sheets("Market Action Plans").Select Range("Updated_Results").Copy Cells(Current_Market_Row, First_Col_Action_Desc).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Sheets("Action Plan for Single Market").Select End Sub I am an occasional macro-creator and every now and again, I come across this type of problem where I can't get variables to be reconized, etc. I think it's because I don't understand enough about Private versus Public, and how to declare variables.
