Comments Automatically Inserted Into The Active Cell
Nov 22, 2006
Need automate a process that I would like to implement into my spreadsheet,
It involves inserting comments,
I want to be able to select a particular cell anywhere in my spreadsheet, and then click on a command button and have a comment automatically inserted into the active cell, I tried to record the macro by hand but I do not know how to state that it is the active cell the comment should be added to
Public preValue As Variant 'Declares a variable to be used in both macros 'This is the first line for a macro that runs when a cell is changed. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Limits the change to 1 cell only If Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$M$42")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Target.ClearComments 'Clears any existing comment Target.AddComment.Text Text:="Previous Value was " & preValue & Chr(10) & "Revised " & Format( Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & Chr(10) & "By " & Environ("UserName") 'Adds a new comment with the text. CHR(10) is a return. End Sub
'This code sets the variable preValue when a cell is selected Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Limits code to 1 cell If Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$M$42")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub preValue = Target.Value 'Set the variable preValue to the selected cell's value End Sub
How do I take the changes made from the first work book and insert them in a cell on the second work book. Where in the code above do I Put this command.
I want the 2 graphs in "Graph" worksheet to change automatically when a row is inserted in "Data" worksheet . Every time i have to change the graph manually to contain the latest 20 days value. I want some offset or something which can be put in the range provided below to do the work.
Chart Data Range =Data!$A$1:$A$22,Data!$F$1:$F$2,Data!$L$1:$L$20
Legend entries (Series) - Series Name =Data!$F$1 ( this will remain constant everyday as this is a header field)
Series Values =Data!$F$2:$F$22 ( this should contain last 20 days range, for example if a next row is inserted tomorrow then it should automatically change to =Data!$F$3:$F$23)
Legend entries (Series) - Series Name =Data!$L$1 ( this will remain constant everyday as this is a header field)
Series Values =Data!$L$2:$L$22 ( this should contain last 20 days range, for example if a next row is inserted tomorrow then it should automatically change to =Data!$L$3:$L$23)
Horizontal (Category) axis series -Axis Label Range =Data!$A$2:$A$22 ( this should contain last 20 days range, for example if a next row is inserted tomorrow then it should automatically change to =Data!$A$3:$A$23)
I have a formula in column G of a worksheet, however when a new row is inserted within the formula range, the formula does not continue in the new row.
Is it possible to make excel continue the formula without having to drag the formula down again?
What I would like to do is on a sheet when I insert a new row that it will "FILL" the formulas that are the row above it. For example I have cells A1-F1. On cell A1 there is 1, B1 there is 2...etc. When I then insert a new row I would like the row below A1-F1 to read. A2 = 2, B2=3 so it had a linear growth. I want to do this with my formulas so whenever someone adds a new line it knows to copy the formula as well but only in certain cells if possible.
Can periodical fixed deductions/payments be inserted automatically to the individual MONTH sheets of the workbook I uploaded ? To reduce the size of the file, I have left only ONE of the twelve month-sheets - the one for January.
Rephrased : How to automate the entry of fixed amounts at regular intervals?
My guess is that from time to time, a macro would have to be run - one of the macro's inputs would be the computer date and the other two inputs would be the value of the entry to be made and the value of the intervening period.
In practice there would be more than one regular entry and the values would be both positive ones and negative ones. I guess that means one macro for each financial pattern.
Feasible or feesible (a multi-million-dollar-fee task)?
If I have a worksheet and it has 100 rows, I would like for column D to auto-populate with a predetermined formula all the way down to row 100, not row 101.
column A = weeks (A2:A50) i.e. P1W1, P1W2, P1W3....P12W4 etc column B = headcount (B2:B50) i.e. 5, 7, 5...10 etc
Essentially my criteria is "looking for last week and give me headcount" i.e. my lookup criteria is P7W5 ....however if P7W5 has no data, i want the lookup to go up or offset to the row above (it may be one to 4 rows above)....
i have a question with regards to the shading of a table in excel 2010.The grey/white shading of the sheet should adjust automatically when lines are inserted / deleted...what would be the most efficient way?
Its fine but if i insert a new row or column then it mucks the whole thing up. Is there away of naming them but if any cells, row or columns are inserted the range will automatically adjust to suit1
Does anyone know code to bring up a comments box automatically when a certain word is entered into a cell? I have an If statement but I just don’t know how to open a comments box in the same cell.
whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.
This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.
I have got stuck on one piece of my code and having trouble fixing... Overall I am trying to find variable station name in cell L2 of Sheet 2 in Sheet 1 and then select and copy the data from the data in "cell L2 of Sheet 2" to the last entry of that row. I have attached an example test spreadsheet of the data and a macro is within Sheet 1 called test1. Please note that cell L2 in Sheet 2 will always be different station name and the station list in Sheet 1 will change with differing station name.
The code I am using is:

The code that is not working and bringing up an error is:
i have a set of data in excel. i want that all the data in excel active worksheet shall be automatically transferred to ms word when i click a command button...
I got the code in the above link working for me, but how would I restrict it to a certain subset of Rows? It's overwriting headers and totals and other things I don't want to change in the worksheet.
let's say I run a macro from a button on sheet 3, macro process on sheet 10. Is there a way that the macro would automatically go back to sheet 3? Like a "Back" button on IE. I can't code Sheets("sheet 3").Select because I want it to do the same thing on sheet 4,5,6...
I wanted the title to be " Dynamic Row And Column Index In Macro" but I wasn't allowed to write it so. However, I have macros where I write things like:
.Cells(138, 13).Value = Something
Now, if I add rows and/or columns in the worksheet, (138, 13) might not be the coorect coordinates anymore.
Basic run down of spreedsheet. 2 diffrent sheets formated like a calendar. sheet one is to track minutes tardy for employees at work. Work sheet 2 is to document any weather or other issue that might arive to cause and employee to be tardy.
I have condintional formating set up to change the cells a diffrent color (on sheet 1) if the same day is flagged on sheet 2 as a exceptionalable day. What i want -
When i flag a day as a weather issue or other exceptionalable issue on sheet 2 i place a inserted comment with an explantion. I want this comment to auto transfer to the corrisponding cell in sheet 1 when i place it on sheet 2. I'm not sure if this is possible with Excel 03 but thought i'd ask.
I am trying to create a filterable To-Do List. My goal is to enter each item with a userform, which I have created and pops up upon clicking the "Insert" textbox. making the following macros happen:
1) I would like to insert the new item in a row at top of existing info, below the headers, with the populated information from the userform when you click the "Add" Commandbutton on the Userform.
2) I want to make sure any filtering is reset whenever a new item is entered so the list reverts to original appearance.
I'm trying to create a dynamic chart title by inserting a text box in the chart title that displays the value of the last populated cell in column A. The number of rows increases over time, so I'm trying to come up with a dynamic cell reference. When I hover over the text box a tool tip appears with this text "TextBox 2" so I assume that is the name of the text box. I'm definitely open to other methods that do not use vba. It seems that none of this code can activate the text box:
Code: Sub textbox() Worksheets("Figure3-5").TextBoxes("TextBox 2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Value End Sub
I have a spreadsheet that gets updated from the top. Is there any way for me to mod my formulae so that they always begin with the topmost cell (row 2 in this case, and in many columns) but still extend downward?
More practical example:
I have an Average formula in column X which (at the moment) averages X2:X75. I would like, even when adding new rows at the top (in the row 2 position) the forumla to not need to be manually extended with every new entry. So, if I add three more entrie4s, it will then average X2:X78. I tried all manner of absolutes.
I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
I have a program that automatically exports info into excel as that info becomes available. What I need is to be able to insert into a cell the exact time that the information was inserted into excel. For example, cell A1 gets info inserted into it, I need cell B1 to automatically insert the time that the info was inserted into A1. Any time there is new info inserted into A1, B1 needs to update that corresponding time.
Our spreadsheet pulls values from a column when a month is inserted in a certain cell:
OCT is typed in B2 and in the column below it, from B10 down to B286, data (numbers) are pulled from the October column K10 through K286 using =IF($B$2="Oct",K10,IF(and so on for each month). IF Nov is typed in B2 then the same happens except data is pulled from the November column, L. The monthly columns from K through V are tied to and updated from other sheets. As you can see the problem is that nested functions allow only 7 and I need 12, one for each month. I have looked at the VLOOPUP and the HLOOKUP but our data is not set up that way (tables) since they need to be exact numbers pulled from the monthly columns that are tied to other sheets.

I have an Excel 2007 workbook with several sheets, and various cells in several of the sheets have column headers with a description in the same cell enclosed in curly brackets, e.g. Header{Description}. I would like to to keep the column headers in their respective cells, but move (cut) the descriptions along with the brackets to the respective cell comments.
I have several worksheets that have comments in the cells. Most of the comments i have set to "un-hide" and they can be printed. I now have this one spreadsheet where no matter what I do I cannot print the comments.
I must have something turned on or off but for thwe life of me I cannot figure out what it is. I can see the comments on the screen but when I go to print preview they are not there.
