I have a spreadsheet that I'm using for a college football pool. We have almost 100 players, and have it set up for each player to pick up to 20 games each week. There is a sheet for each week of the season. Now, I copy each players picks from a message board and paste them under that players name. My problem is, that some people don't spell the teams correctly or abbreviate when they were told not too. This leads to them missing the points because excel sees it as a wrong entry. What I wantto accomplish is setting up some way to have excel verify the spelling is correct when the players entries are pasted in the sheet. I would also like it to auto-correct errors it finds...say a player types in Ohio St. but the winner is entered as Ohio State...This would be seen as a wrong entry for Ohio St. so I want excel to recognize it and correct it. Also simple spelling errors as well...
I need to identify the errors, duplicates, typos and such between two spreadsheets of over 4000 rows of data each. The Macro: I got a macro working, but it's not perfect. So far, it can only tell data that's missing on spreadsheets A, or B. However, it can't tell which are the duplicates, typos, etc. Please look at the sample for more details. The code is included in the sample. And for your convenience, it's right here:
Sub difference_general() Dim frontcount As Long Dim backcount As Long Dim diffcount As Long Dim nosrcflg As Boolean Dim front_ref As String Dim back_ref As String Dim anydiffflg As Boolean Dim ftnotexistflg As Boolean Dim invnotexistflg As Boolean Application. ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Sheets("Diff").Select Cells(1, 1).Select Rows("2:65536").Select Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp Cells(1, 2).Select............................
I have attached a sheet that I'm having an issue with. Columns D and E on the Dim Calculator sheet have a data validation formula in the cell. It works in the sense that it pops up if they are outside the parameters that I want them to hit. However, if the user clicks the Cancel button they can just keep going on even though the entry in the cell is aganist the validation.
Example: Columns D and E cannot be larger than Column C. Currently now if Columns D or E are larger than Column C the validation error pops up. But I can just click on cancel and keep going. That is what I want to prevent.
Is there a way to grey out the cancel button?
Should I do something else within the validation itself?
I don't want ppl to be able to paste values in cell - them must either type the data or select from list.
Also - the sheet is protected but col a is open
have tried...without success
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Application.CutCopyMode = True End If End Sub
I am trying to color code mistakes I find when running formulas in a macro. Right now I have it set up to color code mistakes red using the following code after the formula has been inserted in column E.
My issue is, some of my checks have more than one variable as a wrong answer. For example, one check may include Check and Bad as possible outcomes of the formula in the cell.
the code required to allow two different variables to cause the cells to change color.
I tried a second set of the code for the same column and changed the formulas word to Bad but it did not highlight the cells that came out with Bad as the outcome of the formula.
am createing userform for entering system details, when i assigning peripherals to the system must be unique ,no other system not used.for this am write code , it's working fine. but when i searching details of system using desk no, if when cursor go to the unique fields the data is clearing. due to unique identity.
and other one
my drop down values adding form other sheet" Working sheet", when system is assigned , auto maically paritucular fields status will changes from "Working" to "assigned" in " Working sheet". is it possible changes the text depending one sheet cell ref to other sheet.? you can easily understood in following path am attached my file.
I have put validation in cell 'B1' to have any value between 0 and 'A1'. A1 have 1.00
Now while putting 0.20 in 'B1', it gives alert that value is greater than A1 and because of Stop Validation, I can not enter data. I wonder how 0.20 can be greater than 1.00.
I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.
Let's assume I've got a list of 100 words (most spelled incorrectly and located in cells A1:A100) and I want to place only the words spelled correctly into Column B. For example, if 10 words are spelled correctly, they should go in cells B1:B10.
I start with the first word in cell A1 and move it to cell B1 to be spellchecked. If it's spelled correctly, I keep it in cell B1 and move the word in cell A2 into cell B2 to be spellchecked. (If A1 is spelled incorrectly, I move the word in A2 into B1, thereby discarding the misspelled word.)
Can I code this so that when the spellchecker box opens (i.e. word is spelled wrong) it will close automatically (e.g. [cancel]) and move to the next word?
I having trouble getting this IF statement to function properly. The Bold section is the part that will not function properly. I have checked all the spelling, spaces, but for some reason it wont display properly.
Based on the above is there a way to make this a type of lookup?
Is there any way to use formula or VBA to highlight cells which contain the correct spelling?
For example i have columns A filled with words in each cell but need to highlight which ones have the correct spelling, as there are more with incorrect so i need to visually see the correct spelling.
Is there any way for excel to automatically choose the next best spelling option for many rows of data containing mispelled words? For example, is there a way to automate pressing "Change" on every mispelling window when pressing F7?
I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
I am processing a fair few Invoices, which are being sent to me via e-mail as excel documents, very often they contain mistakes, a decent amount of mistakes. Usually the prices are wrong.
I keep track of every single entry on the invoice on my own document - Tracker, which I consider to be the superior/more correct document to the Invoice presented to me by my contractor.
Both of the documents have a reference number, which is a specific docket number, and horizontally, in the invoice, there is going to be a price for this docket. In my document, there is going to be a separate column for the total price.
Is it possible (I guess with VBA) to check for mistakes in the Invoice, but use the Tracker as a reference for this check.
Tracker has columns A - Name B - Department C - Date D - Docket No. C - Total price for the docket (calculation of E to Z) E to Z - all smaller entries
Invoice has columns A - Date B - Docket No. C to E price for that docket, but it is spread, because departments are separated out, so each VAT account can be charged accordingly. I guess it is possible to do a separate column for the price, if it is easier to do a script that way.
Basically, I need to check if in the Invoice document, the price (C to E) for Docket No. (B) is the same as the price (C) for the Docket No. (D) in the Tracker.
I would like the wrong entries to be highlighted on the Invoice Document, so I can see straight away, that this needs attention.
Not always the price is wrong, sometimes the Docket No. is spelled incorrectly (Dyslexic contractor), hence the highlighting.
I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.
I would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example: On sheet1: If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
In the attached document is a timeline made from a scatter chart. Error bars using custom values are used to show the length of each task, however I can't get the chart to include error bars for the last 2 data points (tasks).
I have a while loop to color my rows down to row 2000 but all the time color way more than needed. I like to change the while loop or replace with better code statement that will see last row of (A:A) that has data and stop there, then to keep color code rows to 2000.
I've just written a macro to copy large amount of data from one worksheet into another. It works well right now, except a little problem. Every time I run the macro, there is always a message box appeared. It let me to choose whether to save or delete data on the clipboard. And I usually choose 'no'. (The message box has been screenshotted and attached into this thread.) Because I use this macro very often, it really makes troubles to me. Is there anyway to block the message box. I mean let it never appear?
I have a sheet with 3 columns and I would like to have these 3 columns fit the screen so that an attractive user interface is created. I do not want to be able to scroll to blank area to the right of column C
I know nothing about Visual Basic and was trying to follow the following
Private Sub Worksheet_ Active () Me. ScrollArea = Range (Me. Used Range, Me. UsedRange (2.2) .Address End Sub
I am using Excel 2000 and I either kept getting error messages or after changing the visual basic sheet headings to worksheet and Active respectively ( two headers at top of page) the macro still failed to work.
Colo HTML does not seen to work in the visual basic window so I cannot show you the page.
I had some of values in Column A, B & C for ex: column A has brand name, column B has model name and Column C has sub_model name here i have a limited values i need to make it as drop down list but i had a problem with the below formula.
I have two sheets. In the first sheet, I have cell F4 is 00:00:00 (countdown). G9, G10 and G11 are cells that receive data (decimal numbers) live. In the second sheet, I have three cells linked from shhet1 G9 ='Sheet1'!G9, G10 ='Sheet1'!G10, G11 ='Sheet1'!G11 (which update themselve when data is modified in the first sheet). Now I want to set in sheet 2, (assume) cells B9, B10 and B11 to show me (copy) the values from G9, G10 and G11 from sheet 1 when the countdown was 00:00:05 (5 seconds before Start) and not update again if the data changes in the cell it pulled the data from.
Like G9 ='Sheet1'!G9 at 00:00:05 and stop here, do not update anything. OK?
I can do a part, but the real problem is: I can not make it stop cells to update.Stand frozen, freeze, not move, calm .. however. I do not want to seem pretentious (but my knowledge in excel are limited), the most appropriate would be a formula, not macro or VBA, if possible..
Need to write the VBA code required to automatically add the names of the buyers & sellers as the auction info is entered on the Auction worksheet to the Transactions worksheet of the same workbook? Any member name should only appear once as this will be the list whereby we will generate the receipts by Location order when auction is finished.
I have some code to open up another workbook, take the data from sheet1 in it, copy it to a sheet in the first book, and then close the opened workbook. My problem is that whenever it closes the workbook it gives me the large amount of data on clipboard window that I must then click 'No' on before it will proceed. I thought that making CutCopyMode = False would fix that, but it hasnt worked. Heres the bit of code that does this:
