Validating Cell Formulas Previously Pasted As Text
Nov 5, 2009
I have generated a matrix in excel through iteration (I'm trying to calculate a dinamic covariance matrix between 50 values) which looks like this:.......
A 50x50 matrix. What I have generated in each cell is not the formula, but the text of the formula. Somehow Excel has a valid formula in a specific cell, but "doesn't know yet" that within the cell there is no longer a text. So, to make every formula run, I have to go cell by cell pressing F2, then enter, 2.500 times. Notice that in each formula I don't have something like this:
+"+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)" or
'+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)
but the valid formula: +COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)

Is there a function that allows you to read column A for an ID (these may or may not include letters/numbers/"?", are non-sequential and are of variable lengths) and, if it is the first time that it has seen an ID column B will read "sample_1_arm_1", if its the second time it has seen an id it will read "sample_2_arm_1", etc? An example of what I am trying to do on a much larger scale:
id
event_name
C83-858
sample_1_arm_1
[Code].....

I'm working on the final stage of a project. I'm attempting to write code that will set off a chain of events if two dates are 91+ days apart from each other . I've attached a sample worksheet that shows the bare bones basics of what I'm attempting to do.
What will be the most efficient and effective way of accomplishing my goal: userform, functions, formatting, etc.? T

Here is my data:
Column A: Entries
Column B: New Entry
Column C: Total New Entries
Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000105 EndHTML:0000004087
StartFragment:0000001523 EndFragment:0000004041
****** http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
****** name="ProgId" content="Excel.Sheet"> ******
[Code] .......
Formula in B2: B17
=IF(RIGHT(A2,10)="_New Entry",1,"")
Formula in C1
=SUM(B2:B17)
I would like to remove Column B, and add the formula in C1 itself. Column B is not of any use, it is just showing which is a new entry and C1 is totaling all the New entries, which is in this case is 4.
I need a formula something like this:
=SUMIF(B2:B17,IF(RIGHT(B2:B17,10)="_New Entry",1,"")))

See attached worksheet for reference. Is it possible (while utilizing the same spreadsheet on a weekly basis) to zero a spreadsheet subsequent to its use. Importantly however, all relevant formulas must remain perfectly intact and will re-establish themselves once relevant data is placed inside an individual cell? In this case, as soon as a “Name” (or even a letter) is referenced inside the “Name” column: H10:H19?
In other words, the entire sheet is blank bar the top date and respective headings. Once any text is placed inside cells H10:H19, the formulas from the associated Row re-applies itself to the “Week-Start” dates, “Week-End” dates and references a default “Phone” amount for ‘$10’? The Data Validation formulas I’m sure would remain undamaged? This would prevent ‘text clutter’ (such as dates extending to the bottom with no apparent referencing or connecting information?

An Excel file is e-mailed to my company for all the credit card transactions in a given day. Because we manage many stores and each store is a different legal entity and a different fiscal year ending, I need my macro to sort the information and separate the transaction by store and by fiscal year end. I just hit my first block.
I need to open a workbook off the server to grab information for a vlookup formula. I can get the workbook open, but I can't get back to the original workbook or find a way to reactivate it. Because the macro is going to be saved in the "personal" workbook, I can't use the "thisworkbook.activate" code. Also the workbook name and tab name that is emailed to me will always be different so I can't use other solutions that I've seen posted.

Here is what I think I want to do (however there may be a better way to get to the end result).
Macro 1:
Unhide all worksheets however, first list only the worksheets that are visible.
Macro 2:
I want to be able to hide all worksheets except those in the above list.
My intent would be to have these in the personal file so I could run either process on any file I have open so I think I would need to insert a tab for the list when unhiding & remove the tab after hiding.
I have found many strings unhiding all & hiding all except a named sheet... but can't find anything on the above?

I have a set of four sheets that each act as a wall planner type of calendar (one for each team of staff) all in one workbook. I have a sheet that acts as a key where cells on the key display different types of holidays e.g. Annual Leave, Unpaid Leave etc. Normally the user would select the cells where they wish to take the time off against their name and go to the "key" sheet, copy relevant cell and go back to their team sheet and paste. I want to put all this into a macro to be used on a customised button on the menu bar.
I am able to do this with one sheet ( I simply put in the code the name of the sheet that I previously selected) but I don't know how with four sheets. How do I say go back to the sheet I previously selected.

i want my userform to operate like this:
>each time the user opens the userform, he has to choose from the 1st combo box which AREA will he worked on (e.g., Math, English, History). upon selecting, the AREA chosen will populate the choices in the 2nd combo box (e.g. if Math, 2nd combo box will show: Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry).
**thru some posts, this part is already solved. thanks. but this will lead me to my questions.
>1st and 2nd combobox selections (e.g., MATH, CALCULUS) serve as a match. Unique from the other matches.
>upon choosing the match, the user can encode in the succeeding textboxes (he would encode numbers).
**this is in another Userform Which Saves Data To Two Different Worksheets DATA TO TWO DIFFERENT WORKSHEETS
>my userform has an EDIT command button.
***what VBA codes can i use so that when I click EDIT, the userform will display all the matches that I encoded. If I choose the match from such display, all that i encoded which are related to that match will be reverted to the userform so that i can edit it right at the userform?

If you have a cell with the value ="2*c2+3" NB: (Notice the ""), then to make excel convert the formula in another cell to =2*c2+3 (notice the removal of ""), so that it can calculate the value of the cell instead of showing a textstring?

I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292

I am trying to combine the text values of several formulas in addition to adding some text (punctuation) in between.
Here is the data that I am trying to combine
C14: 2013
C15: Period 6
C16: Week 1
In Cell C13, I would like to have this value returned: "2013 - Period 6, Week 1"
Is there such a way to do this?

I have a drop down in IE in which four values are there
I will need to select each one at at time to make some change and move to next dropdown
the dropdown in IE should ideally have 4 dropdowns 01,02,03 and 04
However due to vendor errors we may have any of the above missing from dropdown or extra orderpoints in the dropdown like 05
IE.document.getElementById("vendororderpoint").value ="01" is the code to select order point 01
I need an alert in excel if any of the 4 dropdowns is missing.

I have a macro that creates a new sheet, the name of which is based off of an input box. Does someone have some generic code to ensure that the user inputs a valid name? Here's what I have, it only checks to see if the name is a duplicate:
'Prompt user for the name of the output sheet
newsheetname = inputbox("Name Your Output Sheet:", "Notice!", "Margin Output")
'Check whether or not the name is taken
TestName:
For a = 1 To Sheets.Count
If Sheets(a).Name = newsheetname Then
newsheetname = inputbox("Name Taken. Please Rename Your Output Sheet:", "Notice!", "Margin Output")
GoTo TestName

It's the last road-block left to making this function work. The Problem is in the If...Then statement. If A is true the formula works, but is it is not, then it returns a value. The Expression
IBGLink = (E & CustomDate & EndOfLink)
works on its own, so there is an issue with
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsError(A) Then
Does anyone know an alternative way of validating a variable or a trick of sort that can be used here. A to E and CustoDate and CustDatePN are declared as global variables.
Function IBGLink(IBG_URL As String, FrstDate As Date, ScndDate As Date, Optional EndOfLink As String)
A = Mid(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBG_URL), 8)
B = Left(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBG_URL))
C = Right(IBG_URL, Len(IBG_URL) - (Len(A) + Len(B)))
D = Left(C, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(".200", C))
E = Left(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(".200", IBG_URL))
CustomDate = Format(FrstDate, "yyyymmdd")
CustDatePN = Format(ScndDate, "yyyymmdd")
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsError(A) Then
IBGLink = (E & CustomDate & EndOfLink)
Else: IBGLink = (B & CustomDate & D & CustDatePN & EndOfLink)
End If ................

I have the following codes in a new workbook that has nothing else in it:
Private Sub Textbox1_Change()
OnlyNumbers
Sheet1. Range("A1").Value = TextBox1.Text
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
This works fine in this workbook, however, if I try to use it in a workbook that has a lot of macros & userforms it doesn't work at all!

i am trying to make a user form with two msg boxes (To and From Date). In excel spreadsheet It was rather easy to bring a popup msg if they were invalid under some stated rules. see below a rationale of the rules where A3=From Date and B3 To Date and the desired outcome of is:
[Code] .......
So i wonder if it is possible to make a VBA code to validate these two dates? and bring a warning msg after keypress or after pressing submitcmd or any other available if available.

I'm attempting to require a numerical entry in a cell using data validation. The function =AND(ISNUMBER(cell),NOT(ISBLANK(cell))) does not perform as intended. Unchecking "Ignore Blank" has no effect. The ISNUMBER function evaluates to TRUE on a blank cell. When used outside of data validation, NOT(ISBLANK(cell)) evaluates to FALSE on a blank cell, making me think the AND(...) function should be sufficient.
Valid entries are any number, including 0.
Can this be done without VB?

I have a truth table, let's say it is an ordinary 2^3
ID 1234567 8
condition AYYYYNNNN
condition BYYNNYYNN
condition CYNYNYNYN
Currently I am pasting the results of a DB query into the left half of my sheet and I analyse this data using Excel functions in the right half.
Among these functions are cells that evaluate the conditions above, e.g.:
cond A is evaluated as true or false in column H
cond B is evaluated as true or false in column K
cond C is evaluated as true or false in column M
What I would like is a function to place at the end of the row (col T) which will display the ID of the relevant column in the truth table that the three values together correspond to, e.g.:
A=T, B=T, C=F gives result 2
A=F, B=F, C=T gives result 7

I have a excel sheet which has 2 columns
One has numeric values and other has description.
Each numeric value should match the description..
For eg:-
NoName23Vendor 145Vendor 278Vendor 380Vendor 5
The no should match the name
like this there are around 6000 matches
is there any possible way to include these many validations in one cell and display the result as "Good" or "Bad"

How do I force a dependent validated cell list to go blank (erase previous entry) if the origin cell is changed.
A1 = Fruit B1 selected as APPLE from validated list
A1 changed to = Vegetable but B1 stays as APPLE unless changed as well.
Can I force a B1 blank when A1 is changed to ensure B1 is correct?

I have been trying to achieve the following with formulas but have not been successful. I am making a simple schedule, and I am trying to validate the cells so that you can not schedule someone for multiple tasks during the same time range. In the example that I attached, Harry is diswashing from 1:00 - 4:00 but is also scheduled to paint from 2:00 - 5:00 (this should not be allowed). How can I achieve this with code?

I have two userforms. When the user chooses the choice "Other" in the userform frmTradeSickOther, another userform called frmOther will be called. At this point, the user will enter some required comments in a textbox (called txtOther) and click the "Add Comment" button. If the user does not enter anything, a prompt will inform the user to type something in the textbox.
My problems: Once the user clicks okay to the prompt, frmOther is called back. When it's called back, I want the cursor to blink in the textbox. Eventhough I have SetFocus on the textbox, it does not work. I don't know why.How do I prevent the user from just hitting enter (i.e., accepting blank lines as comments) and bypassing the commenting part. The code below accounts for hitting enter once (i.e., one blank line), but not multiple times. How do I do this?
Here is what I have when the user clicks on the "Other" choice in frmTradeSickOther:
Code:
Private Sub optOther_Click()
Unload Me
frmOther.Show
frmOther.txtOther.SetFocus 'This gets the cursor to blink in textOther when frmOther is called.
End Sub
Here is what I have when the user clicks the "Add Comment" button on frmOther:
Code:
Private Sub btnAddComment_Click()
On Error Resume Next
txtOther.Value = Trim(txtOther.Value) 'This is to make sure spaces aren't accepted as a comment.
If Me.txtOther = vbNullString Then
Me.Hide
MsgBox "Please enter the necessary information.", vbInformation, "Required Field"
Me.Show
Me.txtOther.SetFocus 'Here is where I set focus on txtOther.
Exit Sub
End If
'Everything below is to add comments automatically to each cell when a value is changed.
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls("Delete Comment").Enabled = True
If Not ActiveCell.Comment Is Nothing Then
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls("Edit Comment").Enabled = True
Range(curCell).ClearComments

I'm trying to write a formula that passes or fails a value.
Example: The user types into a cell "ABC 123"
The ABC is a constant therefore it is just a matter of IF=(D10="ABC","pass","fail")
However the 123 must be equal to another cell (d4)
So the formula I'm trying to write looks something like IF=(D10="ABC" + D7, "pass","fail").
This does not work, any better methods?

Data is entered monthly by the team. I don't know how to begin with this. I've managed to inform them when they've already entered that months information, but I don't know where to begin with this.
