Workbook No Longer Fits Screen
Jan 5, 2007
I've tried the F1 Help screens and searched the board with nothing that applys to my problem popping up.
I have several Workbooks that I use regularly. Without making any changes that I know of, recently several of the workbooks began opening too long and a little off to the right.
I can grab the top header and move them back to the left but I have no visible bottom slider bar and the side slider bar when at the lowest point that I can pull it down to is about 1000 rows from the last entry. I have other Workbooks that are working perfectly. Its like my Monitor needs to be two inches taller.
I have checked View settings -- Format Settings -- Resizing and all other things that I can think of, all to no avail.
Using Control G and trying to mentally keep track of my current last line number to enter a new row is really getting Old.

I am using Excel 2007. When I pulled up a workbook today with 3 sheets in it, all that comes up is the first sheet and the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen are no longer there. I must have accidentlly pushed some button, but I can't get to the other sheets. I really need the information on the other sheets. How do I restore the view that shows the sheet numbers at the bottom?

Using Excel 2010.
I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String)
Dim rowctr As Long
Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified
[Code] ..........

I'm trying to sum data that fits w/in two dates I've specified. Normally, this would be a simple sumif formula. But the data I'm actually summing has text string and so Excel doesn't see the numerical values to be able to add them.
Here's what my data table looks like.
Task / Duration Hrs / Start Date
A / 3 hrs / 2/1/12 08:00
B / 6 hrs / 2/6/12 16:00
I want to sum the total duration hrs for all tasks that start sometime between "Feb 1 0:00" and "Feb 29 23:59" so I want Excel to return the value "9" in this example. I know how to use LEFT LEN to return duration hours values if I was evaluating each cell individually but not sure how to combine if w/ the sumif formula if I want to analyze an entire worksheet of data.

I'm looking to find the smallest number in a column that fits a certain criteria, and I'm not sure where to put the if function, or if I can use some other 'qualifiers'.
I was thinking something along the lines of If(E:E<>2, Small(E:E, ROW()-1),____) but I'm not sure what the "false" argument for the if function would be in the blanks. I don't want there to be one.
Where E:E is the range I'm looking in, and 'not equal to 2' is the criteria I'm looking to have filled.
So, "Find the smallest number in E:E that does not equal 2" would be the wording.

I have just run into the situation where some users, magically and overnight , have widescreen monitors. This means the screen designs for 4:3 monitors show way too much on 16:9 monitors. I would like to put a control button on the opening page that gives them a choice of zoom, which usually seems to be 100% and 135%.
I'm thinking probably an IF sequence to parse their response and execute the appropriate zoom. But how can I make it effective for all the sheets in a workbook?

I have a great bit of code for a spreadsheet I'm working on by a board regular called Norie;
The code is;
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveSheet.Name "ThankYou" Then
Worksheets("ThankYou").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Application.Goto Worksheets("ThankYou").Range("A1"), True
Cancel = True
UserForm1.Show
[code]....
When I open the workbook it shows for about 1 second another sheet in the workbook rather than just instantly showing the "START" tab.
Is there any way to get over this to make this code 100% perfect?
I just really would love upon opening this workbook for the sheet that 1st comes into view to be the START SCREEN TAB, without any flash preview of another sheet.

I've developed a complex dictator application, which pretty much takes over the entire Application object. During beta testing, I've had some user complaints that, once my program is started, they can't access their existing workbooks.
In order to remedy this situation, I'm trying to construct a front-loader workbook, which will automatically determine whether or not to start a new instance (application) of Excel. If the user already has a workbook open (i.e. "MiscBook.xls"), the front-loader will start a new application; otherwise, it will just use the existing application.
My "Auto_Open" code for the front-loader workbook is shown below:
Sub Auto_Open()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim wbkTemp As Workbook, wbkApp As Workbook
Dim lCount As Long
Dim vTemp As Variant
The code works fine, but I have a minor gripe: every time a new application is created ("Else" in the "If-Else" above), the screen doesn't appear to refresh. In other words, I get a new window (instance of Excel), but none of my custom-defined buttons and menus show up. If I hover my mouse over their intended locations, they "appear" one at a time.
I'm just wondering - is there something I can do to prevent this behavior, or "refresh" the new application window upon startup? I'm essentially looking for something like "Userform.Repaint", only for a brand-new Excel Application object.

How can I make excel go to full screen (Alt-W-E) as soon as a workbook is opened and then revert back to normal view when it is closed? I already have this code in my workbook_open event just in case that will affect the answer:

If Not LockSheet(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet) Then Exit Sub

Dim Vis_Rnge As Range
Dim Data_Rnge As Range

I have created a splash screen. Is it possible when the excel workbook is opened up that only the splash screen shows? Right now, the workbook opens and there is one sheet that is visible for a certain period of time and then the splash screen comes on. I would like the reverse to happen. First the splash screen and then the one sheet.

I am working on a document at work with multiple worksheets. It would be most useful for me to be able to split the screen so that I can work on both worksheets at the same time without (a) having to switch back and forth, (b) modifying the workbook so that everything is on one sheet, or (c) opening the file twice and sizing the windows to my screen.
My goal is to be able to see the information on each sheet while modifying one sheet or the other.

I have a userform that opens a woorkbook and fills some textbox from that woorkbook. Although that it goes very fast it is still visible (sometime just in the toolbar) and flickers the screen. Is it possible to open it "hidden"?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Workbooks("Kontrollsystemet.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
Workbooks.Open "V:allaBeredningKontrollsystemetKontrollsystemet.xls", ReadOnly:=True
Sheets("Calc").Activate
Label4 = Range("K7")
Label5 = Range("L7")
Workbooks("Kontrollsystemet.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False
Caption = Now
TextBox1.SetFocus
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have a workbook that has worksheets that serve as data input pages for the user.
I have control boxes created by the forms toolbar.
I created a splash screen that is to be launched when the file is opened.
Instead, often the last sheet that the user was on when they last saved the file (usually but not always the worksheet called "Main Menu") is seen first.
I understand that not all the sheets can be hidden - that one must be unhidden.
So I created a sheet called "Background" that is a solid color with no gridelines.
Objective:
When the file is opened, I want the "Background" sheet to be seen first and then the splash screen to be initiated.
Now - when the user opens the file, the Main Menu worksheet is seen for a few seconds (or whatever the last sheet was on before it was last saved), then it disappears and the solid background screen is shown with the splash screen. When the splash screen ends, the "Background" sheet disappears.
Here is the code that I have in the workbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook
If wks.Name "Background" Then
wks.Visible = False
End If
Next wks
End Sub
What has to be changed so that the first sheet that is seen upon opening the file is the "Background"; then the splash screen happens; then it returns to the Main Menu sheet?

I am running a script that populates about 70 or so workbooks based on information from the database. Naturally this script is quite slow but what seems to take the most time is opening and closing workbooks. Is there a way to "hide" the workbook opening/closing operation on the screen? I have tried using the
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
this sped the code up but you still see the workbooks opening on the screen.

My company hires out equipment and we need to keep track of where a piece of equipment was at a given time and who to charge the equipment to for a particular week or month.
Each piece of equipment will have a separate sheet, which will list all of the hire contracts which have been placed on that machine:
Column B: Hirer name
Column C: Contract start date
Column D: Contract expiry date
Then there will be a main sheet (Summary) which will have all equipment listed, and all of the chargeable dates listed (see example below)
Week 1 ||
Week Commencing (B6) |Week Ending (C6) ||
25/11/2013 (B7) | 1/12/2013 (C7) ||
I want to add a Box underneath each piece of equipment on the main sheet that will show who to charge to. For example, underneath Week 1, I want it to show who the hirer is based on whether the Week Commencing to Week Ending dates fit within the contract start and expiry dates.
I have come up with a formula that almost works, but I can only get it to refer to a single cell in the equipment sheet. As soon as I try to get it to refer to all columns, it just automatically comes up with 'not on hire'.
This is my formula: =IF(AND(('Equipment1'!C14<='Summary'!C7),('Equipment1'!D14>='Summary'!B7)),('Equipment'!B14),"Not on hire")

I just reinstalled windows (XP) and Office 2003, SP3.
When entering text in a column and if it was larger than the current column, it used to just display into the next column unless there was data in that column.
Now, it just displays a few letter from the end of the first word. How can I change this back as default?

this is a hard nut I've been working on for a while. I have a worksheet that in column A has the following rows:
| A
1 | 21432 - Accessories
2 | SortPrice
3 | 1
4 | 2
5 | 3
6 | 4
7 | 5
8 | 6
9 | 21440 - Furniture
10| SortPrice
11| 1
12| 2
and so on...
What I'm trying to do, is to make a macro that will fill the value "21432 - Accessories" down until the next which is "21440 - Furniture", which then should be filled down until the next 5 digit value..
In my opinion the best way to approach it would be to search for a string longer than say 10 characters, then fill it down until the next string that's longer than 10 characters..
This is what I'd like it to look like after the macro has been run:
| A
1 | 21432 - Accessories
2 | 21432 - Accessories
3 | 21432 - Accessories
4 | 21432 - Accessories
5 | 21432 - Accessories
6 | 21432 - Accessories
7 | 21432 - Accessories
8 | 21432 - Accessories
9 | 21440 - Furniture
10| 21440 - Furniture
11| 21440 - Furniture
12| 21440 - Furniture
and so on...

how to add a vlookup to a longer macro I'm working on but I keep running into a variety of errors. I ended up creating a new Sub () to test out a very simple vlookup macro in the hopes of figuring out what's going on.
I went to this website VLOOKUP In VBA and copied exactly a sample code they provided there (only thing I changed was substituting in my own lookup value and range), but I'm still getting an "object required" error. Is there something wrong with the provided code, or do I have a setting off on my computer? I've tried to use vlookup in a macro several different ways but I keep getting assorted errors (including object required)
Code:
Sub Fustrated()
Dim E_name As String
E_name = "Lira"
Sal = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(E_name, Admin.Range("AF3:AG12"), 2, False)
MsgBox "Number" And Sal
End Sub

I am working with a lot of data and have been making a table of statistical analysis for several rock types. I have it worked out to where i can filter the data and with the use of a bunch of IF functions, below, and it keeps everything the way I want.
{=MAX(IF($H$2:$H$22="sedimentary rocks",$W$2:$W$22))}
The problem is I have to introduce new rock types, but if I just copy the formulas over i then have to go through hundreds of cells and switch sedimentary rocks to volcanic or whatever new class i have.
How this can be done faster. Maybe some way to say "find "text" within this range and replace" i can do it for actual values but when its embedded in a function im not sure.

I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.

i need help with 2 formulas to return text within a longer string.
the first result i need is a style #. this will always start at the 5th character, but the length is variable. it will always end right before the last "/" or "" in the string (there may or may not be a / or within the style number)
the 2nd result i need is a description of the style. this will always be after the last "/" or "" in the string and end before a ".", but there may not always be a period in the string.
Text string: ABC123123BASIC TEE.black
Style # result: 123123
Description result: BASIC TEE
Text string: DEF/4567LEAH/FLORAL TANK DRESS
Style # result: 4567LEAH

This macro ran fine until I started using Offset on ranges to have them extend. The macro replaces "L" with blanks but does not go on to delete the rows. The name "Type" refers to =Offset(Mem05!$A$2,0,0, CountA(Mem05!$A$2:$A$270),10)
Relevant part of Macro
wb06.Activate
Application.Goto Reference:="Type"
Selection.Replace What:="L", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
On Error Resume Next
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Is it using Offset that could be causing this error?
