Worksheet Change Removes Comments

May 11, 2007

I have an inventory sheet in which I am trying to accomplish two things:

1. Have comments pop-up when certain cells are selected that will explain to the user what kind of information he should enter. (So far, I have been able to make this work.)
2. When the user begins to enter information into the first of the aforementioned cells, a worksheet change event will automatically select the next cell for him, so that he will be immediately ready to enter information into it. That is, the worksheet will automatically "tab" over to the next relevant cell. (I'm having problems with this part.)

All in all, for each product on the inventory list, there are three cells that the user must enter information into.

Step 1: The ending inventory amount (the amount of product on hand).
Step 2: The user's initials.
Step 3: The time that the user physically counted the inventory.

(Then, when step three is done, the worksheet automatically tabs to STEP ONE ON THE NEXT ITEM. That is where I am failing miserably, although that is not the only place. . . . Keep reading.)

Here is my problem. I am not able to have my cake and eat it too. The comments are popping up beautifully, at the right time in the right way. However, when I enter the appropriate lines of code to make the worksheet change "tab" over the next cell, problems occur: the comments that provide instructions to the user do not stay visible. They flash for a split second, and then disappear. I am attaching a sample so you can see what I mean (and then I'm heading off to lunch with the boss, so it will be while before I can respond). The lines of code that I would like to have working are currently "commented out."

Change Cells Comments Commented By Text

Dec 28, 2008

I noticed that I have several (@200) comments that when visible displays Cell X Commented by (my work user number) in the lower left corner of the excel window. I'm not sure how to change this so its the company name instead of my work number. I'd be using a loop to go through each comment but need help with the line that would change this part.

Cannot Remove Comments In Worksheet

Nov 6, 2008

I have a workbook that I received from a vendor that when I click in a cell a comment appears. There is no line or comment indicator for each comment. So I went into the tools - options - views - comments section and chose no comments. The comments still appear and when I go to the tool bar - view - comments nothing appears. I checked for any VBA code and didn't see anything. I was able to get around this problem by copy/paste special into a new worksheet, but curiosity is killing this cat.

Adding Comments To A Protected Worksheet

Jan 20, 2010

I have (several) worksheets that have protection enabled. I have unlocked all the cells that users need access to and locked all the column and row headers/labels.
When I enabled protection on the sheets, the ability to add comments was taken away.
Is there a way to add comments to an UNLOCKED cell in a PROTECTED worksheet?

Excel 2007 :: Change Username In Mouseover Status Bar Message For Cell Comments?

May 30, 2012

I am having with Excel 2007.

When I hover the mouse over a cell with comments, the status bar displays a message; for example "Cell A12 commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user".

I only get this message for one column. The cells in all other columns give my first and second name as the author of the cell comment.

Why it is only effecting one column. I have been unable to change the annoying "commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user" to my own name.

Is there a macro that can do this? I tried two macros I found online, both from a few years back, but neither of them worked.

Is There A Method To Globally Delete/remove All Comments From A Worksheet?

May 19, 2006

I'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.

Removes All Code From The Active Workbook..

May 19, 2009

I have this script below that removes all code from the active workbook. The reason I am removing all the code is because I am running code from my personal library and the code changes the worksheet I am working with.So while stepping through I noticed it moves over to the sheet change sub routine from the active workbook that I am working on.

So I tried to remove all the code from the Active workbook but after I remove all the code it returns a expected end of sub error, where the old worksheet change sub was? but no code is in the entire workbook? So I tried to enter something in the blank sheet mod and it returns a (Cant Edit Module) error.

Copy Cells Removes Sheet Protection

Feb 1, 2007

I have hidden columns on a sheet.
I protect the sheet with a password before I send out the file to a 3rd party. However, it seems that all a user has to do is select the sheet cells, copy and paste onto another sheet or file. The protection is nonexistant and the user is able to unhide the columns.

Am I missing something?
Is there a way to "really" protect a sheet so that a user is unable to unhide confidiential columns? Preferably a method without VBA code.

AutoFormat On Pivot Table Removes All Borders

May 8, 2008

I consider myself a power user of pivot tables, but recently, this one has stumped me.

For some reason every time I create a pivot table now, all the autoformatting options do NOT have borders in them AND is turning all cells color white; so I have to manually change the borders for each report. The autoformatting for non-Pivot Tables works fine still and I cannot find any option or setting that I would have changed to result in this. how to fix this or return the Pivot Table autoformatting back to normal?

Userform2 Removes Data From Userform1 When Hidden/unloaded?

Nov 11, 2009

I have a small userform (FormA) with two text boxes, a combobox, a help button, and an "OK" button. When clicked, the help button launches another userform (Form B), containing a text message and a "Close" button.

When I enter data into Form A, then click the Help Button to read what's on Form B, then close Form B, the data I had entered into the text boxes and combo box on Form A are deleted.

I've tried fussing with the modality, but that's not changing anything. I know I could write the text into a variable, then re-display it when Form B is closed, but that seems like a little (very little) extraneous stuff in an already bloated program.

Macro Addin That Inserts / Runs And Removes Module In Active Workbook

Mar 24, 2013

I have a macro that copies data from several workbooks saved in a particular folder to a master workbook.

The problem is that this macro only works when it is included as a module in the master workbook. Unfortunately, I cannot ask the users of this macro to insert a module, copy the code and run it each time they want to consolidate the master workbook. Therefore, I wanted to use this code by including it in a Add-In that I already prepared. The problem is that this consolidation macro does not run when it is in an add-in. Create a code that I can include in a macro add in that would insert a module in the master file, include the code that I already have, run it and then delete the module? The add-in would be password protected.

Worksheet Change To Function To Add Text To Cell Which Initially Triggered Change

Jan 10, 2014

i have some existing code which is trigerred when anything is input into column c. The code then adds various information in another three columns. One of which pastes a vlookup formulae, and i would like this forumlae pasted into the column c cell which i initialy edited, in order to remove the requirement for one additional column.

The existing code i have is:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim MyText As String
MyText = Environ("username")
If Target.Cells.Column = 3 Then
With Target
If .Value "" Then
.Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(D:D,'P:TAOffshoreTAOffshoreTreasuryRecsGeneralCommit ID''s for control Sheet - Do not move or delete[commit ids - DO NOT DELETE OR MOVE.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$65536,2,0)"

[code].....

I have tried changing the offset to (0,0) or changing the offset to 'target = ', which does add in the vlookup but then the macro debugs at the 'If .Value "" Then' code?

Worksheet Change Event Triggered By Formula Change?

Dec 6, 2011

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.

My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.

Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.

how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?

Prevent Copy / Paste Cells With Comments Or Allow Paste But Do Not Paste Comments

Feb 4, 2014

How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?

Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?

I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".

Could Two Change Events (Conditions) Be Possible With Worksheet Change Events

Dec 13, 2012

I am aware that I can use single changing events in worksheet change events. For instance, if column 1, or A is changed, do something. This is only a single If statement, i.e. either the condition is true, or not. What I am not sure is if I can use two changing events, i.e. two conditions. For e.g. I would like if Column A value is X and Column B is "Active", action it, but only if two conditions are true.

For.e,g. The below syntax does not work. If it is only column A, it does work, but I want both A and B to be true, then copy and paste the target does not anything.

VB:
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Column = 2 Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "X" And Target.Value = "Active" Then

Fill To Change Worksheet Name Only

Apr 27, 2009

I want to input a column of formulas where the part of the formula which changes on each row from the row above is the worksheet name. I want the cell ref to remain the same

ie

formula in B6
='WC - 23-03-09'!J2

formula in B7
='WC - 30-03-09'!J2

The sequence of the worksheets should follow the sequence as they appear left to right in the worksheet bar at the bottom of the page.

I was looking for a way to "fill" in the rest of the column where its the worksheet which changes sequentially in the formula rather than the cell ref
