Catch 22 - I.e. Last Entered Value In A Given Range
Oct 7, 2008
let's suppose I have a prefixed range like A1:A300 in which periodically I need to enter some records (normally numbers but also sometime blank cells - i.e. void no entries); so imagine you have an array of cells in which I want to catch by mean of a formula or a macro the last entered significative record (i.e. a number); the objective is obviously to catch the last significative record in that given range having numbers in it (i.e. leaving out any blank cells in between); no other clues to approach the problem are given: do you think it's possible to sort out somehow this tricky problem ?
example:
1
34
67
#
45
#
#
545
#
22
where # stands for blank cell
how to catch 22?

I am looking to freeze row 18 in an excel sheet, however in doing so this really limits the amount of rows below row 18 that can be viewed and scrolled through.
I would like to know if there is any way that you could freeze row 18 and when you scroll down on the worksheet, you can scroll down past rows 1-17 and when row 18 reaches the top row it would lock there? And you would then be able to continue scrolling down the worksheet beyond row 18..

I want to catch if the user has deleted a row. There is a need to know when a row is deleted and what the data was in that row. So, what I'm trying to do if a row is deleted is to undo the action and then change the font of all data in that row to have the strikethrough effect. This will enable others looking at the workbook to know that the information in the row existed but is no longer relevent.
So, the code is something like this:If row deleted Then
Application.Undo
Target.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If

I have to create a formula to fine difference between 2 numbers.
There are columns A to Z.
Values will be populated in A1 to Z1. Sometimes the value will stop in between itself. For example H1.
So, I need a formula to catch the last populated cell (H1 in our case) and then find the difference between the value in its previous column.
H1-G1 should be the result I should get.

I have a VBA procedure in Excel that opens PowerPoint presentations and searches each slide for embedded objects, opens, and attempts to save the objects as separate files utilizing the following statement:
Shape.OLEFormat.DoVerb Count
Where Count is the "Open" verb. 90% of the time it works great but there are times where the object simply wont open so the application just stops. I don't get any errors so I don't see how I can trap for this incident.
What I would like to do is emulate something similar to C#'s Try/Catch function.
Is there a way to do something like this in VBA?

I am trying to find some solution on frequent errors , that come up when one copy, or drag formulae.
Sometime the error doesn’t appear on surface, but after digging you realize that some formula is not pointing to correct
cells.
I want to create a macro which will do following things :
1. It will go to each cell in the selected range, and compare the cell’s formula with that of the cell on its right and left.
2. If the formulae are not similar it should change the color of that cell.
Basically, I am trying to catch logical errors. However I don’t know how to approach this problem? Is there any in-built functionality in Excel that can do this task ?

I've implanted data validation into some cells and I need to be able to catch any modifications to these cells. If the user change the value from A to B, I would like to trap this event using VBA. I've tried to record a macro, change the value of the cell using the data validation but unfortunately, it didn't generate any code at all.

Want to enter 6 digits for each cell in a range of cells with VBA mask change to time format hh:mm:ss for each cell when entered. Code below does this for hours and minutes but I haven't been successful in modifying to work including seconds.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vVal
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Target
vVal = Format(.Value, "0000")
If IsNumeric(vVal) And Len(vVal) = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = Left(vVal, 2) & ":" & Right(vVal, 2)
.NumberFormat = "[h]:mm"
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Before my workbook is open the following code is run, which asks the user to enter the password. Depending on the password Range("name").Value takes values from the worksheet "Data" from table "M4:M20". The list of passwords is in the table "L4:L20". My code seems to be not optimal (too long). Does anybody know how to optimize this code?
Sub GoodMorning()
On Error Goto Error
'Prompt the user for a password and unhide the worksheet if correct
Select Case InputBox("Please enter the password", _
"Enter Password")
Case Is = ""
Call HideSheets
MsgBox "Sorry, that password is incorrect! Please contact the administrator.", _ ............

I've been tasked with creating an updated booking system for a company which offers projects / services to the educational sector (UK Primary Schools.) I've done an alright job at augmenting their current Excel based system, but I would like to take it further so that the system is more all encompassing.
Currently, the booking form is filled in when a booking is made and the data from that is populated into their copy of the contract and our copy of the contract using simple "=" and to a certain extent, the text on the contracts is manipulated based on the booking form data using "IF" functions.
There is a basic macro which removes excess lines from the contracts if they aren't used, but that's about it. The difficulty we're having with the current system is that a lot of our projects are bespoke, happen over more than one date, and require a lot of manual manipulation in order to get them ready, which sort of defeats the object of having a 'clever' booking system.
I don't know very much about VB, but the sort of thing I would be looking to integrate is having drop down lists to select a 'project' which would load project-specific text into the contracts area. Also, instead of having to remove lines manually, I would like the data to be 'dropped in' creating rows as appropriate.

I have an excel file with many worksheets. I want to get a pop up message providing definitions of different subjects when they are entered from a drop down list in a specific range within a column to improve the users understanding of the subjects.
Worksheet 1
Range (where I want the pop up message to be valid): J85:J385
Subjects from drop down list in specified range: "x,y,z"
Pop up message: "Definitions of x,y,z"
Do I have to make a new module, or write the macro in the selected worksheet? What should be the settings of the macro (general, worksheet, declarations etc.)

I want to catch an error and reset the entire code to the very beginning and skip that entire entry. When I use "Next fieldSheetName" I get "Next without For," error 1004. Searches tell me I have an open block somewhere, but that's not true. Removing that statement (and having the loop iterate as normal) has no error at all.
Dim employeeName As String
Dim fieldMax, x, y As Byte ' Counters mostly
Dim workedHours, fieldSheetName As Integer
fieldMax = 204 ' Row number to stop on in the field time sheet
row = 4 ' Row specification for field time sheet. Begin at row 4 to ignore headers
' and start on the first name. This should not be changed!
Col = 3 ' Start at column 3 then increase by one to start going to next time entry
' RESET HERE!
For fieldSheetName = 4 To fieldMax Step 8 ' This is our MAIN loop. It iterates from 0 to fieldMax, which is 204...........

Here is what i am trying to achieve. If the date 2/20/2010 is located at F53 & the cell next to it at H53 is populated with a number between 1 & 16, then i want the cell at J11 (42 rows further up) to auto populate with the number 1. When this occurs the cells beneath this, from J12 to J52 should also auto populate with the with consecutive numbers from 2 to 42. Would also like to see the cells with numbers 1 to 28, automatically format to orange & the cells containing numbers 29 to 42 automatically format to yellow. I plan to have this condition repeat several times later in the year, at dates that are to be decided. When these dates are decided i want to be able to enter a number from 1 to 16 & next to the date & all of the above automatically occurs.

I have to enter date into cells. It is being written from the lists of paper, where for date is entered only year (e.g. 1987), but I have to enter it into excel with day and month (the program working with data only recognizes this form; eg 01.01.1987).
I was thinking of writing a conditional formatting, to remind if I will forget to write 01.01. before year.
I prepared formula like this (to check for the dots):
=IF(AND(MID(AD2;3;1)=".";MID(AD2;6;1)=".");1;0)
But it is not working, because the function recognizes general formatting of cell instead of date formatting (28491 instead of 01.01.1987).

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet with columns a, b, c, and d. "a" always has a value and I want columns c and d to change to a's color when they are given values. if "b" has a value when the data for c and d is entered, i want them to take b's color instead. The part I don't know how to do is that if i decide to give "b" a value, I don't want "c" or "d" to change colors if they already have values. e.g. if only a has a value when i give one to c, c will take a's color, but then if i give b a value then d, i want d to take b's color and c to retain a's color.

I have a macro that is used several times a day. Four digits are entered in cell E5, then I press Enter, then click on an icon that has a macro assigned to it.
Is there a way to trigger the macro after simply entering the four digits? Or can the macro be triggered after entering the four digits then pressing Enter?
