When doing vlookups, I frequently encounter an issue where one column isn't formatted the same and the vlookup won't work.
As an example I am trying to do a vlookup from a sql report downloaded to excel and the formatting on the column isn't right. If I type over the data, the vlookup works.
Is there a way to automatically clear the formatting so the vlookup will work.
I've got a workbook (attached) with a "summary" sheet & 2 detail sheets for tracking vacation time used, and I need to make it automatically clear out an employee's "used" vacation hours automatically on their anniversary date.
Can anybody help me please? I've had no luck thus far & "the powers that be" are really getting on me for this now -
Is there way to automatically clear the contents of a cell when the user clicks in that cell. Eg, click in "A1" then then "A1" clears automatically.
View 10 Replies View RelatedIs is possible to clear the contents of a cell range if a message box appears stating an error. I have tried the following code but the logic doesn't actually work and am struggling to achieve what I am trying to do.
My code so far is as follows:
Code:
If ActiveSheet.Range("F84") > 0 And ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PES").Range("D24") = 0 Then _
MsgBox "Your Entitlement is currently 0", vbCritical, "Error"
ActiveSheet.Range("K84:T84").ClearContents
The message box appears fine if the IF statement is true but if IF statement is false, the cell range of K84 to T84 on the current sheet is still cleared..
I have the following Worksheet Change Event in my worksheet. The contents of range rng are not cleared.

If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If Target.Value = "Yes" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
rng.ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

I have found that periodically Excel is automatically reformatting everything in large workbooks to Date Format. Initially I save these workbooks with General, Number, Currency, Text, and Date formatting within the cells. Upon opening at a later time, everything is converted to Date Format.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on a spreadhseet with multiple tables present on the sheet. Each table has various formatting, merged cells, formulas, and defined lists. I need to have the table add a new row below the last including cell formatting, formulas, defined lists, so I can just keep going through and do data entry. The code adds a row at the end so I don't run into the table below the present one, by monitoring how far away it is from the "Type" cell tag in column A. The code below is a compilation from viewing other threads, but it just does a copy and paste, including the data that was input so I'm looking at a duplicate row. How can I get ito to clear values in the new row? I can't seem to get it to paste xlPasteFormat and xlPasteFormulas
Is the new row in fact being added below the last? I think it's up one after the macro had run through.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
r = Target.Row
c = Target.Column
If c <> 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
NextLineValue = Cells(r + 3, c)
If NextLineValue = "Type" Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).EntireRow.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

How to set a column up to show it as the time of day but unless I enter PM after I put the time in the column it always comes up as AM.
Is there some way to just enter 9:09 in column d and or f and have it show up as pm? When I enter 8:10 in column b it automatically adds the AM to it but if I do the same in the column for the night and I do not type in pm it will automatically enter it as am.
I have attached the workbook and did delete the macro - which was just to clear all of my entries but when I click to open it again I am still getting the message about the macro.
In the workbook when I enter the time in column B I can just type in 7:14 and it will automatically add the AM to it. However, when I get to column D or F if I just type in 9:09 or whatever time it is in the evening it will automatically add AM to it unless I type 9:09 pm.
Is there some way to set it up so that I can just enter the time and it will automatically enter pm for everything in that column?

I have figure A1 column which total amount accounting at cells A31. I need figure 360 as a benchmark calculation perfectly been done. In this calculation 360 well off inside cells A18 although actual number is 363. If we use Conditional Formatting when had enough total in cells the achieve 360, cells colour will be transformed to red. What formula which need I used to change no matter cells on A1 to A30 if sufficient study 360 automatically cells changing colour to red
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm building a Excel 2003 workbook that needs more than 3 conditional formats. I've tried the code given in the FAQ: Get Around Excels 3 Criteria Limit in Conditional Formatting but this only works on cells being modified directly. I've also tried the code in the post: VBA Conditional Formatting - Refresh when data changes but neither does the job I need.
I'm using a Format Control to present the user with a list of choices. When the control changes the target cell I want to apply a conditional format to that cell. This image shows the form. When the Format Control selection (in B2) is changed I want to apply conditional formating to the target cell (A2).
There will be up to 10 choices and therefore conditions.
I'm having a problem with a macro clearing a formula in a cell. I have the same type of cell that doesn't have the problem but I can't find the difference between the 2 cells or difference in vb that's making it happen. I have to intentionally cause this to happen but don't see why it's happening. Do I need to attach workbook and describe what's happening? I have been copying and pasting from different sources as well as paying to have it created/started but it was expensive(for me) and I make nothing off of it, just use it at work. I am not proficient in Excel or vb but I'm desperately trying to learn as I go so as not to fork out a few hundred dollars again.
here's atleast the vb for the macros:
VB:
Sub clearclientinfo() '

A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.

I'm trying to analyse all of my bank statenments to see where all my money went!! I've got online banking so I thought it would be a relatively easy process of copying and pasting each month into excel.
Well, that in itself was easy, the problem is with the formatting of the financial numbers. Excel doesn't seem to recognise them as numbers, so at the moment I can't do any manipulation with the numbers. I have tried everything such as:
Format Cells > Number > Number and Currency
Copy and Paste Special > Values only
Copying into Notepad and back into Excel
Even if it appears to have changed the numbers to 'number' or 'currency' formatting by right justifying the numbers, if I try to add up the numbers using the SUM function, it doesn't want to know.
For some reason nothing seems to work - what am I missing?
For an example, I have attached a snippet of the spreadsheet with my starbucks transactions.
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
Any VBA that I can put into a macro that will convert conditional formatting into fixed formatting..? So when the cell contents/formulas are deleted the formatting remains. Assume that the range I want to convert is A1:D200...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am getting a #VALUE! error in one of my cells. I know it is because my worksheet is missing information to complete the formula. The information will be inputted periodically in the worksheet (lets call it worksheet number one). But, I have the results of cells in worksheet one that are tied to worksheet number two. Worksheet number two is getting the #VALUE! also until worksheet number one is completed (periodically).
But, in worksheet number two, I have an auto sum that adds up the results from worksheet one so I am getting the same #VALUE! error on the auto sum because only a few worksheet from worksheet one are complete. Is there anyway to clear the #VALUE! and get a number in the auto sum even if only a few worksheets from worksheet number one are inputted?

right now i am clearing a worksheet via VBA with the following:
Sheet2.Cells.ClearContents
but the problem is if I had 5000 rows on that sheet, then i clear the sheet and perform an action that only displays a hundred rows.... if i then go to that sheet and press ctrl+end, it jumps to row 5000... not row 100.
so its like the original rows weren't completely cleared.
what is the vba code to totally clear a worksheet??
I am having trouble clearing a multiselect list box.

I have a table on a worksheet and have for quite some time used a very successful macro UsedRangeClear. I found here on the forum. Anyway the macro still works on all tables on all other sheets except this one. This is the reason, somehow someone, maybe even me, copied something down or formated down to the 1,048,152th row of the worksheet. My workbook has grown from 5000 kb to 11,000 kb.
I have tried to highlight and deleted the rows, highlight and clear contents and the following macros:
Sub UsedRangeClear()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="myfadra"
Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="myfadra"
End Sub
Sub ReSetTable_UsedRange()
'For ICFMR
Dim LR As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="myfadra"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table7").Resize Range("A1:T" & LR)
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="myfadra"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I need to clear all cells in a column that have a particular value. The value is sometimes a constant like "0" (zero) and sometimes is a value based on a formula. Is there a VBA code that will allow me to select those cells in column matching a particular value and clear them?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have written a vb code to import data from notepad to excel.
I have created a command button to clear those data after excecuting certain function.
For eg. if i have data in column A,B & C of excel i want a code which will clear the value in B & C only starting from a specific row of that column.
