Is there any way to create a default template that will apply all the same formatting, print options, etc to every new workbook that I create. I guess what I am asking is a way to change the excel defaults for text type, border size/color, etc.

Using Excel 2010: I have 2 rows (A4:J4 & A5:J5) selected as print titles that I would like to be printed at the top of selected pages. Currently, my document is 3 pages long, and I would like to have the print titles only applied to the first 2 pages. More data will be added in the future on pages 1&2 but the last page (whatever page number it ends up being) should not contain the selected print titles.

Normally I go to My Documents, find the template file and double click on it, and the appropriate program (usually either Excel or Word) starts and opens a copy of the template as a document. What happens now is that the program starts and the template itself opens. I have tried going to My Documents and right clicking on the file and what appears to be happening is that the default (highlighted) option is "Open" instead of "New" which is what the default used to be. How do I change it back?--

If I want to open a NEW workbook, with Excel already open, by clicking the OFFICE BUTTON, NEW, BLANK WORKBOOK, I do, in fact get a blank workbook, but without any customization. Is there a way to open a NEW workbook with customization using OFFICE BUTTON, NEW, BLANK WORKBOOK set of keystrokes?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking to design a Userform with "OptionButtons" in which the user selects 1 of 4 print formats. I was going to have one single button that stimulates the userform mentioned which allows the user to pick from 4 options. Then there will be a commandbutton1 on userform which allows them to "Print Preview" the selected print style and a commandbutton2 on the userform which allows them to "Print" with the chosen style. The following are the 4 Print Formats:
Print1:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Rows 1-17 are Normal
From row18 on every row with text in columnA becomes a print break with row16 as a header before it. (the point of this is that row16 is a header but since it will always on the first page and row17 is a text row that would kick it on the next page)
Print2:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break
Print3:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide ColumnE and ColumnF after row15.
Print4:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide Column A, B, E, F after row15.
I’ve created a worksheet containing many drop down lists that form an inventory of household effects. Once selected, I’d like to be able to view/print the selected options and quantities separately on one A4 page.
I don’t want the separately viewed/ printed page to contain anything other than the selected options. The problem I’m having is to arrange this new page as a contiguous list.
I currently have a template that I have made and all the info and everything is fine on it, but the problem is with printing. Every time I go to print it wants to print out 100 copies of the same thing. I tried editing the original template by printing 1 copy then saving the template, but it still wants to print 100 copies with the next try. how to customize what the print settings are for the template and make them stay permanent with the template?

I have a workbook (VBE.xls) that creates menu options in the VBE when it opens.
Several of them modify the code in the active codepane.
When the codepane is in VBE.xls, everything gets reset and my macros don't run anymore. I have to re-run the macro (menu_setup()) that creates the menu options.
I don't think there is anything I can do about it resetting when I modify the project that created the menus.
Is there some way to have each macro re-run menu_setup() AFTER it has ended (after the reset has cleared everything)?
I've tried having each macro open the immediate window and paste in "menu_setup" then tried to use "sendkeys" command to execute it, but I can't seem to get it work.
Is there a Macro to automatically print the selected print area (print area is also established within the macro itself) to a user's default printer; whatever that printer may be? Note that this printer and/or printer name could change depending on the user.
I would like this to actually select and print to the default printer without Excel having to ask you. I don't even want the "OK" box to show up if possible. I just want them to run the macro, execute all it's duties, and print, all in 1 shot.
i have a macro that loads a userform for previewing and printing selected sheets. The macro works fine for previewing sheets but when i choose the print button the marco trys to save the file as a .mdi, i want this to select the default printer on the pc instead, the excel file will be onpened on many different pcs so the printers will be different on each machine, hence why i want a default printer selected. This is the section of code from the form
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a spreadsheet where in a column (Column B) you enter a value from 1 to 5 and then depending on the value the cell would turn red (1), yellow (2), green(3), blue (4) or grey(5). I had used conditional formatting for this type of function before but Excel 2003 only gives the option of three possible conditions on any given cell. I could give up one color (grey) and limit the number to four options, but it still is one more option than allowed.
I want to apply conditional formatting by VBA. Cell Q2 contains the month number, (in this case 11). I want each cell in the range D2:D50 to be filled in red and the word 'UNPAID' appear if Q2 is greater than 10 and the cell is blank, otherwise no formatting at all. I'd like this to be triggered on the Worksheet_SelectionChange event if at all possible.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that has a total of 128 pages. The problem is that a lot of those pages won't be used. Basically I have a sheet that needs to be filled out for each day up to around 30 days, sometimes more, most times less.
Currently I have created all the sheets that I will typically need (31 daily's, 31 daily printable reports).
Data is entered into the daily (and other spots) and then with the use of formulas transferred to the report sheet which is hidden and then printable with the use of macros.
I also need to withdraw some of this information (CSV File) to be able to populate a database.
Is it possible to have my "daily" page as a template and then create the subsequent pages as I need them? (this would have to be done with a bunch of other report pages as well). For ease of use I would need all the formulas etc that I currently have to be able to be "created" as well. As an example, there is a running total of costs associated with the "daily" pages that would need to be carried forward.
I am creating a macro to create a new sheet that is a template that has already been created. I want to create a variable that references this new sheet so I can use it in a sum function.
Here is what I have:

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets.Add Type:="C:Users cweberDesktopNCR & NDE TEMPLATE.xltx"

Is it possible to do a drop down list that allow user to select pre-defined selections but everytime when a selection is chosen, the list reduced?
Example,
I have can choose Apple, Orange, Durian and Mango.
The drop down can only select these 4 fruits.
So there are 4 cells in Column A1, A2, A3, A4.
A1 selects Mango and then A2 will only have 3 options to choose. So until the last cell, he can only choose the last fruit left.
A1, A2, A3, A4 are not selecting in descending order thus it could be A3 selecting first, then A2 and then A4.
I'm using excel 2007
I am trying to create a macro (which will go in an add-in, using Excel 2007) which will apply a custom format to any selected cells which have their formulae hidden (Format Cells, Protection, Hidden). A similar macro works fine for locked cells.
Here is the UDF I wrote, which returns True/False based on the Hidden status of a cell:
VB:
Public Function Hidden(Check_Cell As Range)
Hidden = Check_Cell.FormulaHidden = True
End Function
[Code]....
just place all three pieces of code into a module, and change the first line of the two macros to a standard "Sub Macro1()" type format.
I have this macro and all I want to do is apply it to every page of my worksheet with a loop and can't find what kind of loop I need:
Sub format()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+r
'
ActiveCell. Offset(-37, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(37, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Range("A1:K37").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone

.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic

I'm looking to create a dynamic invoice that has one main invoice worksheet that references a worksheet with client billing information. Keep in mind that line items will differ between clients, and ideally I'd want to be able to:
Have date autopopulate, included in every line item Select a client, which populates billing info as well as the invoice # nomenclature specific to that client Be able to have client line items specific to the client populate based on the dropdown I select
Overall, no real specific guidelines, just trying to pick some other people's brains about how to approach a dynamic invoicing template. To preface, we have about 60 clients.

My problems start when I want to create a new sheet/tab and let her name it. I would have simply created 12 months for her, unfortunately there is a sheet for a number of people and the start of the year can vary. My simple solution was to create a macro that copies the original Template (effectively sheet 1) and puts it into the newly created tab. However this does not copy the above VBA code across

I have a template document, created in MS Word. I want to generate, from Excel, a new document as would happen when you open the template from windows explorer or whatever ie. Template1.doc as opposed to Template.xlt.
The best I've managed to achieve is the opening of the template.
I want to create a standard template used for all commodities. To do this I have several columns that need to be on every quote and then depending on the commodity, a few other columns that need to be added in. I want to automate this so that I have a heading "Commodity" at the top and then a drop down menu with the different options (plastic, glass, etc.). Then once the commodity is selected the necessary columns will be inserted into the template. Is this at all possible using macros or anything else?
I'm trying to create a macro that creates new worksheets with buttons on them that have macros attached. I've been able to produce one worksheet with a button and macro, but when the function that copies the code is looped it crashes out of Excel.
I realise that the usual method of doing this would be by templates, but this code will be run on other people's computers so the template wouldn’t exist in the location that i had specified (I think with my limited experience with VBA - Please correct me if I'm wrong). I've also tried to copy the page with the button on, but this takes too long (even with screenupdating = false) as there are many sheets to be created.
This is a stripped down version of the code that I have created for the purpose of this forum. To recap, the function that creates a new page, with button, with macro attached works. It's when it's looped that it crashes out. I've stepped through the program, and it reaches the second message box, then it gives up on life ..........
I have a workbook that contains 168 sheets of data (it's an extract from a PM tool) which is effectively a status report from each project in our portfolio. Contained within each status report are some financial data that shows a Plan number and a Forecast number for which I want to apply conditional formatting to this section (this is the same section for each sheet), to all the 168 sheets without having to go individually into each sheet. I have searched here and all the varying responses to a similar situation as mine, do not cater for the number of sheets that I have. And I need to do this on a monthly basis at monthend. So in the example below I want to apply conditional formatting if the Forecast (Cols D & G) are greater than Plan (Cols B & E). Is there a way of doing this just with the conditional formatting or would it need a VBA script?
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col E Col F Col G
Financial Summary - Selected Project Currency: USD
Current year total cost
Overall project cost

I wish to have one conditional format apply to K and L. Presently it's L only where it works.
=OR(K1="",AND(K1="No",L1<>""),AND(K1="OJ",L1=""))
Why when I change the range from =$L:$L to =$K:$L does it not apply to both?
is possible to construct a conditional formatting scenario and at the same time apply that formatting if the cell entry is within 10% either way of the logical test?
For example if you apply conditional formatting if the cell value is between 300-500 is it possible to add in a 10% swing on each value?
I have a conditional formatting issue, using VBA.
My conditional formatting code works fine for one column; however, when I try to apply the conditional formatting to two columns, the code only applies to the first column listed. Additionally, I have two sets of "rules" that apply to the same column. One of the "rules" includes two columns. The other rule applies to only one column. I'm not sure if this is my issue, or whether I'm trying to apply the same code to two different columns.
My code is below.
Code that applies to column "M" only...
I downloaded the checkbook register from Microsoft.com and am trying to add a
few cells at the end to quickly calculate my outstanding debits and credits
so that I can balance my statements automatically. I figured out how to write
the formula properly (eventually), but the cells will not take on the
currency format no matter what I do. I have tried pasting the format from the
other cells within the register, tried clearing the format and reapplying the
currency format, tried accounting, etc.
