Worksheet Controls Text Direction Not Left To Right
Aug 20, 2007
When placing a control on a worksheet, the text in the label,option box etc controls is vertical and I can't find a way of changing the direction to left to right. It doesn't happen on all workbooks. I can put the control on a "normal" workbook and then copy it to the "abnormal" workbook but I would like to know why/how I can change the direction of the text.
Under Tools/Options/International the text direction states left to right
is there a way of changing the text direction for an ActiveX textbox? I need it to show the text in some of the boxes vertically but in other boxes horizontal.
I have problems wit setting some ActiveX controls properties. If I place ActiveX on worksheet manually, it is diferrent object, then If I place it by VBA code. I, am not able to open properities window for controls created by VBA. When I open properties window for ActiveX created manually, there is property fmbackstyle. If I am trying to set this property by VBA for controls created by VBA, result is error.
I'm looking for a way to loop through the ActiveX controls (option buttons) in one sheet so that I can have these option buttons reflect what I select on the front sheet.
I have an excel file that has quite a few buttons with macros attached and combo boxes. On one computer it runs perfectly normally, however on another, when the file opens all the comboxes and buttons with macros attached have been stripped from the file.
I would like to know if it's possibale to use VB, to auto manage these levels IE, 1 box asks for the part number 2nd asks you how many 3rd/4th boxes are "+", "-" When + or - is pressed the part number will automatically add's/subtracts that part level. I had 10x abcde's I enter 2 in "How Many", then press "-" it will then adjust the level from 10 to 8
Is there a macro that will allow me to create text to row from a comma separated cell, but also associate the cell to its left automatically?
The table below exemplifies what I need. The top of the spreadsheet is how my data is currently. The portion after the break is how I would like it to be.
I am trying to implement code that can handle a dynamic number of objects, specifically check boxes.
I know of eval( ) in perl that allows one to dynamically create command lines. For instance, the following code would change all of the Checkbox values to 1. The syntax may not be correct but the idea is solid.
Do While i < num_checkboxes eval("Checkbox" .i. ".Value=1) Loop
I have a userform that stores data (1 row record with 20 columns) to a worksheet.Is there a way to grab the data back in (other or the same)userform, ambent(correct) data and store them back in the same row in the worksheet?
I have used Option Buttons and Combo Boxes on my worksheet. When I print my worksheet, the controls which contain values do not print properly. They only print a fraction of their actual size relative to the rest of the worksheet. The properties are set so that they are printable. What setting do I need to change for them to print properly.
I created a macro to create command buttons on sheet 1 of my worksheet. The created buttons using oleobject and class type: forms.commandbutton1, creates an object with no properties on the sheet (i.e. if you right click on it excel thinks it's an object and not a control.) Is there a way to create it as a control?
I would like to have 4 calendar controls in a worksheet, but even with only two controls I am receiving a Compile Error - Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick
I'm currently building an Excel database. This database has a few comboboxes and checkboxes that are tied to each other. If I select the combobox option of "Years", the "Quarters" combobox must be greyed out. In addition depending on which option is chosen, the relevant check boxes must be enabeled or disabled. I've written some code which runs fine, until I try and activate another macro button or if I add and rename a sheet(which is not linked to anything). What should I do? Here is a sample of my code. I have a feeling it's really obviouse but I cant see it..
I need to make several exact duplicates of an existing worksheet which includes several form controls. Basic Copy/ Paste the worksheet works well but row heights are different and hidden rows are unhidden. Is there a way to make an EXACT duplicate ?
I have a worksheet with lots of things going on... the end user needs access to the Name field, DOB field, all the scroll and form control option buttons in the 9-question sheet, and the macro-enabled reset button at the bottom. Formulas are sprinkled throughout the worksheet, in columns T through AC... option button links go to AA and AB.
I would like to protect the entire sheet so none of the fields, except where indicated above, could be selected or edited... but when I protect the sheet, I get errors when trying to use you form controls, and the formulas do not respond. And finally, when protected, I get a debug error on the reset macro.
My understanding of Excel is that the calculations are performed in Column A first and then down through the rows in Column A. After all the calculations are finished in A, the calculation moves over to Column B and down the rows in B. Is this true?
I know that Excel is a little more complicated than that especially when it creates a queue for calculations, etc. However, assuming there's no calculation list/queue, would the above be correct?
I have a list of wind directions and I want to get the average. Obviously, there is an issue since the average of a northwest (330) and northeast (030) wind is 360, not 180. I've got several formulas in the attached spreadsheet, but none seem to give the correct results.
I have a sheet with part protection and have 4 columns that I want to enter data. Need advice on macro -columns cdef. When data in column c entered, go right two columns, enter data in column e, go right, enter data in column f, and go down, and back, to column c. That is on the next row down ready to enter next set of data.
I have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I find (what look like) two extra toolbars have appeared at the top (below the standard and formatting toolbars) and to the left of my worksheet.
They have lines, dots and little boxes with an x or - in them, depending if you click on them or not. The +/- box function seems to be to make columns appear and disappear.
How did I turn this function on and more importantly, how do I turn it off?
This problem started after a lot of development of various macros in a moderate sized workbook. I've gone back to various stages of development and am unable to find what is causing this one worksheet tab to jump to the beginning of the cue (to the left) when i first click on that tab.
Thought the most likely culprit was a worksheet change macro, but even after deleting that, the behaviour persisted.
Move after return direction Xltoright In Specified Range.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("mastersheet").Range("trgadd") Then Application.MoveAfterReturnDirection = xlToRight Else Application.MoveAfterReturnDirection = xlDown End If
I believe this is a little basic for this forum; but, I haven't been able to find a good answer just searching the web.
I have a spreadsheet that I am entering single digit numbers in each cell. I would like the cursor to automatically jump to the next cell to the right after the number is entered (without having to hit the right arrow key).
I have a worksheet in excel that I have hidden columns from AA right to the end. Which gives the user a nice worksheet with everything to the right of AA hidden in blue. What I would like to do is now centre the worksheet in the screen and have the same hidden blue effect to the Right of the worksheet in this blue.
I am looking to remove all blanks from a table I have and move all the data left. Right now the data is by date, and some dates are blank for some players (it is a basketball sheet) and filled for others, but I want to see it by game. So I have what is in the first table below, and I want it to look like what is in the second.
I am using the find or search function but I need to read my text string from right to left (from the end of the string, instead of from the beggining). Is there a way to do this?
