Background Colours To Improve Readability?
Dec 24, 2013
Do any of the templates/backgrounds offer the user a white background with every fifth row and column an off-white colour?
My document will be read by LOADS of people, so I want to be able to follow my eye across. A soft system like that lets someone scroll across twenty columns and see they're still on the same row. It's like writing 7 Oct 2013 instead of 07/10/2013. It makes sense whether you use UK dd/mm/yyyy or US mm/dd/yyyy. People say 'October' not 'month no 10.' That's my logic and design principle.

The idea came about after wanting to show a 'gold' 'silver' and 'bronze' background colour, but having to plump for yellow, grey and orange looked a little crap :f
If not, can a workaround be created by using code and a picture or 2?

I wrote a macro that works fine, although it runs extremely slowly as if plodding along through all of the cells one at a time. I'm sure the computer is faster than that, so I would like it to chug through more quickly.
I am using some syntax that could be optimized ....

I was working with automatically exporting the contents of a textbox to an image file and found this post which I was able to modify slightly for my purposes.
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ml#post1982405
Is it possible to improve the quality of the output image. I need to print out the resulting image and the quality of the image this method creates is too poor for my purposes.

Attached is a spreadsheet that does exactly what I need it to do but I know that the code can be written better. Perhaps some experts can clue me in to how I could improve.
There is a button on the sheet Mandatory Training that looks at the sheet CS CM and finds certain numbers, when it does it makes them red and copies them to the Mandatory Training sheet. If other lines are added to CS CM that have the same numbers and the button is clicked again, only the new entries are made red and copied to Mandatory Training.

I am generating the chart from the following code but when it prints i.e (Mode#1 or 2 or 3 etc....) with type i.e. (GL_Weld or Bend or any other text). Printing as i.e. (Mode#1Bend or Mode#2GL_Weld). I would like some space in between (Mode#1 Bend) or (Mode#2 GL_Weld) or even put it in next line underneath it ( Mode#1 Bend).
How do i incorporate and space or enter next line? Code as follows:

how to improve the following error handling strategy and code samples so as to maximise its usefulness for the purposes described.
During function calculations in VBA, such as is done by numerical integrators, numerical run-time errors may occur, such as:
Err.Number = 5 Invalid procedure call eg. LOG(-5)
Err.Number = 6 Overflow
Err.Number = 11 Division by zero
My present strategy to address these errors:
Say the variable x is used in the function calculations, and some particular value of x causes one of the above errors to occur. After the above errors are trapped, the x value is increased slightly from its initial value, and the failed calculation line is retried (Resume). On the next error trap, the x value is decreased slightly from its initial value, and the calculation tried again. This way, the initial x value is cyclically changed by adding increasing magnitude increments of alternating signs, searching for the nearest x value which will allow the function calculation to be done without error. Thus it causes the x value to swing around the initial x value in a pendulum-like manner, but with a widening swing per pass.
So far, I have the following code:
Code:
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 5 Or Err.Number = 6 Or Err.Number = 11 Then
If Initial = True Then
[Code]....

I have a large worksheet (Sheet1) containing approximately 15,000 records (15,000 rows x 21 columns). I need to search through all these records, and manually decide whether a record should be copied onto another worksheet (Sheet2) or not. The code I have written works very well (as far as I can tell), but it is extremely slow (the searching takes forever).
The code is as follows:
Sub SearchAndCopy()
Dim SearchRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim SearchColumn As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim CopyToRow As Long
Dim SearchString As String
Dim Found As Boolean
Dim Response As Integer
On Error Goto Err_Execute
Found = False
'Fetch Search Term
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
SearchString = LCase( Range("F3").Text)......................

how to reduce formula size/improve excel efficiency?
I have a really complicated formula with lots of COUNTAs, VLOOKUPs, IFs, etc etc etc which returns a variety of values, ZEROs (for blank cells being referenced), and #NAs.
I would like to turn all ZEROs and #NAs into ""s without repeating this super long formula over and over.
I am curently using:
=IF(or(ISBLANK([superlongformula]),ISNA([superlongformula])),"",[superlongformula])

I am evaluating a wellness programme at work. One of the things we measure is BMI (Body Mass Index).
What I’m wanting to do is to categorise the BMI values into “flags”. For example someone who has a BMI of >35 could be red, someone with a BMI of 25-35 could be yellow, and <24 green.
What i’m wondering if excel can do is;
If I write the BMI value one cell can I get excel to automatically fill in another cell in either the colour or the name of the colour?

I would like to change the colour of a userform both the background colour and the font colour. However, in the colour property box I am met with &H00C0C0C0& (which is Grey). I can select some other colours but not the one I would like to use.
I have tried inserting RGB(194,214,154) however I get the error 'Invaild proprty value'

i am creating a spreadsheet to account for work being done on a team. At the moment the sheet adds up the average time that the whole team is taking to do a task,and it also adds up the time each person is taking.
so for instance: KL take 100 minutes to do the task. but the average time across the team is 90 minutes per task.
i have my list of staff with their times in column E. so what i want is if their time is higher than the average then the box turns red, if it is lower then green etc.
(the average figure is got by summing everyones totals in box B22.

I currently have the following macro which checks the cell contents and replaces a random number in a sheet (say Sheet1) with a name in another sheet (called 'Pool') making sure the names' font colour is the same. So for example in sheet1, cell A1 contains the number 1 - the macro looks at cell A1 in the 'Pool' sheet (in which cells A1 to A30 always contain the numbers 1 to 30) and replaces the number 1 in Sheet1 with the name in cell D1 including the same font colour. Basically, it is replacing numbers in one sheet with names on another.
As follows: ...

Attached is a table detailing top 20 Incidents and Requests. Requests are highlighted in Yellow and Incidents are in Green. Associated with this table is a graph. What I like to do is if the bar on the graph represents a Request I want the colour to be yellow and if the bar represents an Incident I want it to be green. At the moment I can only choice one colour or a different colour for each bar.

I am in charge of a report spreadsheet which gets updated by my users multiple times a day. The spreadsheet is called the R-A-G report (red, amber, green). One of the columns has colours which are updated manually in accordance to the ammount of stock we have in the database (oracle column) and in our warehouse (utl column).
Right now the users update these colours manually, using a key at the bottom of the spreadsheet. My dream is to have these colours auto-updating when a macro is run.
I spent a little time and wrote a very basic macro, but there are a few problems with it. For one i do not think that the macro fills out of the possible variables; therefor it has around 50% accuracy.
I have uploaded the file and would really appreciate if i could get some feedback on how i could write this correctly, maybe some usefull websites specifically directed at elseif (if that is the correct code for me to use).

2) If cell contains only a number: highlight blue
3) If cell contains a number with the letter "F" ("1 F" or "5.5 F"): highlight pink
