I want to be able to define on excel 2007 what gets cut when I cut and paste
cause I just want text, comments, and font formatting, i dont want the fill of the background or border when I cut and paste
I was thinking of how the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro can be used to paste values instead of formula when the user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. Instead of assigning a macro to a command button for user to activate.
Suppose I have a worksheet where the range ("D7:D56") is where I would want the user to paste his values in it.
I have to factor in the possibility that these values have formulas attached to them, and that the user is not tech-savvy enough to know about the "paste special --> values" functionality of excel, and chooses to use the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V method instead.
What then appears are ####### which might alarm the user.
Neither would we want the user to press a button (which we can assign the xlpastevalues macro as an alternative) as that adds an extra step for the user. There is also a chance the user might not use the button, or overlooked it.
Is it possible to use the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro, or sth similar, to paste values instead of formula when user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V?
Formula/macro/etc that would enable me to have content of a cell changed based on the content of another cell in the same row.
Example: cell in column D says "PSA" - so I would need the cell in column H for that same row to read "Radio"
I would need an entire sheet scanned to review for these occurrences and make the appropriate changes. I also would need the formula to be inclusive enough to scan for variations in column D cell content (PSA 1, PSA 2, etc).
I have been supplied a list of names. The format is Smith J Mr, I would like this to read Mr J Smith.
Is there a command in excel I could use?
In Excell 2000, when you enter a cell by using either the cursor keys or the enter key, the contents of that cell are selected. Typing anything other than the 'F2' key deletes the current entry in the cell, replacing it with what you are typing. This is not the same as double clicking on a cell whereby the cell does not have any of it's contents selected so that when you type the keys are inserted at the cursor position
Is there any way in which this behaviour can be changed so that the first and subsequent characters typed after entering the cell are added to the end of the current contents of the cell ?
I have a large spring-selection table, which is populated with things like "4.88 x 635" and "5.26 x 584". There are 1520 fields in the table populated with any combination of the 432 springs available for selection. The spreadsheet takes my criteria, finds out which springs it's allowed to choose from, and populates the table. It could be 20 springs, could be 30. I'm trying to get the number down to 10. The table updates when I change the criteria.
What I'm after at this point is a macro which will color-code the table based on the cell contents, so that all the "4.88 x 635" have one color and all the "5.26 x 584" have another colour. Doesn't have to be any particular colour, just so long as it's a bit different to the cells around it. how the table reacts.
The biggest spring size is "6.93 x 1727", which could be converted to a color reference, perhaps by adding up all the digits, or taking out the non-digits and dividing by 123781, I don't know I'm thinking out loud. And then just assign the cell color to that number.
Where to start a macro like this. Obviously it would use ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex but I can't find anything like this on the web.
I have a large workbook with some tasks.
My problem is:
I have 8 columns with info.
In the second column i type a part number and in the third one i type "Yes" or "No".
I wanted to make the second columns cell turn red if the third column's value is Yes or white if the value is No.
Is possible to do that with the help of a formula, conditional formating or vba?
I prefer to use a formula or the conditional formating.
I searched the net but i found a solution if the third column contains a number not a text.
I'm having difficulty creating a nested "if" or range formula that basically only reads the first two characters of the data in a given cell. See attached spreadsheet.
In column "A" I have listed the product ID. If the product ID has the first 2 characters 'DV' then it should yield the result of Dryer. The main issue is creating a formula that only picks up on the first two characters.
picks up the drifferences between low and high numbers for example 1-10 is low 11-29 high and 0 is a alternate so say i start typing in 1,2,3,11,15 in the top cell they start decending down the rows automtically and the program has 2 boxs indicating 3 lows and 2 highs and wen i type in a 0 it resets the two boxs to 0

I have been working on a spreadsheet with 3 sheets and have done everything except the last function which I just can't work out. Data is entered on the first sheet in a list with an item number, description, dates etc and then finally, if they are a certain type of item, a variation, a 'variation number' in a column.
The next sheet is then called 'variations' and here starts my problem. I want to have a formula that picks up if a variation number has been entered on sheet one in the 'variation number' column and if so, add that item into this sheet, in order.
So to summarise, I need sheet 2 to search on sheet 1 in a specific column for numbers 1-30(ish) for a series of items. I then need sheet 2 to list each of these in order, copying over each item that goes with the number from sheet 1 in the same format.
At the moment all our work is logged by codes eg. A1Misc, B5Change, N9Important. As well as the codes, we enter the date in the column next to the code along with another Column to show the amount.
I need a Macro to look at the date column and only take dates which have Sept then go to the column next to it and pick up the codes individually and sum up all the amounts for the codes.
I have attached an example which shows from A13 downwards what I need the macro to show when finished.
The thing is that i have alot of sheets (more than 20) and my program picks 2 values from the same cell locations on each sheet. This leeds to more than 30 arguments in my formula. I am gonna use this for alot of excelfiles constructed in the same way, but with varying order and names on the sheets.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing the text to columns option on a comma separated file in csv format leads to the right preview in the text to columns wizard.
The column titled "ATTIC: Zone ..." shows the desired format in the preview window. Please look at the screenshot 1.jpg.
After pushing the finish button to obtain the result the number format gets suddenly changed and differs from the preview.
Again check for the "ATTIC: Zone ..." column as reference: 2.jpg
Is there a menu where one can look up, or specify how to format data to force the right comma placement? What settings might be wrong?
I am using VBA to create a word document (.docx). This word document contains plain text content controls as well as picture content controls. I then use VBA to automatically select a picture based on the code below
Code:
Set oCC = Word.ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("TabPic").Item(1)
On Error GoTo TabErrorHandler
oCC.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture Filename:="X:XFERANDREW-TDCD " & LblVL &
[Code].....
After the document has been closed down I try to open it again and I am told "The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
When I click details it says "Unspecified error" and "Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0"
If I click ok it says "Word found unreadable content in "". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you turst the source of this document, click Yes.
Clicking Yes opens the document with all the contents and it is now renamed to Document 1. If I click no it does not open.
I use this to read cell content, add some text/characters (ie. [ and ]) and change the properties of the complete cell
Sub COMMENT()
Worksheets("DVD Lijssie").Activate
If ActiveCell.Value 0 Then ' Change all in to ... ... ...
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.Value & " " & "]" & " " & "["
With ActiveCell.Font
.Name = "Arial Narrow"
.Size = 8
.ColorIndex = 16
End With
End If
End Sub
HOW can I change this vba-code so it leave's the content of the cell like it is and add some content with the use of let's say TexBox1 and ONLY use different font properties for the newely added content?
how to combine the content of 2 cells into one cell and have the information separated by a comma.
For example:
CELL 1:
Software 1
CELL 2:
Spreadsheet Software
The desired results is:
CELL 3:
Software 1, Spreadsheet Software
I have 2 cells on the same worksheet both have a different user defined date added to them. C19 and C28. If I over type the date with an "A" in C28 then I need C19 to also display an "A" automatically. Both cells will need to have a user defined date added again later. Is there a way of doing this with conditional formatting?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI need a macro or formula that can parse a column of data and if it finds a specific string of text ,then it changes another cell on that row to zero. It can have multiple text variables but all return the same value. For Example,
if
artisan - matte - flat black
artisan - matte brushed gold
small - canvas - flat black
is found in a longer string of text
then it should change another cell on the same row to have a value of 0. Also i should mention that i need it to loop as it will be parsing through potentially thousands of rows.
I have a chart full of different names which I need to separate them by color when a specific entry is found in a Cell. For example the list has the store name "ZELLERS" + its branch number. (ex. ZELLERS #276 PL or ZELLERS #295 SL and so on). I would like to modify the below code so that It only check for the name ZELLERS and not the branch number. If it finds ZELLERS in any cell In the Range of C1:C500 then color it Red.
Below Code does that but I have to write the exact name as it appears in the cell otherwise it wont find it for me. Is there any way to resolve the issue? I am not an Excel Programmer but Only an Excel user.

i have tried using the letter M as a shortcut key (because it is to activate a "Move" function) but unfortunately it doesn't work. I gather from this that not all of the keys are available as shortcut keys presumably because they already have function.
Is there a way around this? and/or is there a list somewhere of the available shortcut keys?
the keyboard shortcut to switch between workbooks in the application seems to have stopped working on my boss' machine.

I also have a button set up to select and copy the auto-populated data. I just recorded myself select the top cell and hit shift+ctrl+down to select just the values that are populated. What it does, however, is selects the blank ones too. I know the counta() function would work, but I don't know how to input that into a macro.

I have been searching Excel Help for a code that will allow me to program the Ctrl + Home function.
Specifically, I have a macro that leaves the selected cell too far down on the spreadsheet. Instead of making the user scroll up or press the Ctrl + Home keys, I want to write a code at the end of my existing macro.

What it does, I hilite (put focus on 1 cell) a cell and it copies that cell and 3 more to the left, switches to 2nd xls file, pastes that, puts the cell focus on next line, then goes back to the first sheet and I just have it select a random cell(s) so it does a Ctrl-F properly.
Problem is the 3 ways I have above to bring up the find box aren't working for me. It won't find anything and I don't understand why. And I hope I explained this correctly.
