I am having one query regarding how to create short key for format painter tool. Request you do provide the procedure to get that for which I shall be thankful to you.
My mail id; - chakki_heera@yahoo.com; heera_chakki@yahoo.co.in
I've been working on a particular spreadsheet and I've just noticed that
double clicking the format painter will only format one cell. It won't
retain the format to be put into the next selected cell which it should when
its double clicked. The same goes for copy and paste. Normally once you've
copied something you can paste it into a number of cells individually, one
after the other, but after the first paste selection, the paste option is no
longer available. I can't see any settings under options to fix this. What has happened, and how do I fix it? (I'm using Excel 2003 SP1 - is there a SP2?)
When I copy or cut, I usually get a dashed border around the cells I have copied (or cut), I can then right-click somewhere to paste, but at some point in time recently this functionality has stopped working. The format painter doesn't work either - the paintbrush icon stays pressed for about half a second, then just goes away and I can't paste my formatting.
An operation I often do in excel is to copy a date from one cell, then highlight a few cells elsewhere and press enter to paste the date into them. I also like to right click on a row and Cut, then past it further down my list to re-order things, but this won't work either.
I don't know what I've done to make it go away. If I restart my computer and open a workbook, then I can copy/paste at least once (maybe a few times) then it stops again.
This is caused by a Skype 'click to call' function, but I don't have that installed here. I have actually just tried installing it, so I could run through the uninstall (thinking there might be debris from something previously), but it made no difference.
I have created three lines between two point.
But if the two point is located at the same horizontal line.
The line cant be produced.

way the date are shown can be changed by the date format tool, provided the date was entered the correct way. I think we are missing each other. I think the way the date was entered (17.08.07) and converted to (17/08/07) was good. At first it was in text so one wouldnt have known whether it will be taken as yymmdd, ddmmyy, mmddyy etc. well it end up like as 17(yy), 08(mm), 07(dd) instead as 17(dd), 08(mm) and 07(yy). My Q now is is there a way (formula) to swap these orders around...?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created a spreadsheet containing 200+ entries for my companies suppliers. These include their name/code, contact emails and contact number. This list is far more easily accessible as it saves the user having to bring up the suppliers details within our own bespoke software. However what seemed like a nifty spreadsheet has quickly turned into a giant mush of details with no way to quickly find the one you want without scrolling down to the one you want.create a function/tool that can allow me to type the contact name in cell "X" and have Excel take me to the suppliers line in the table?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a template using validation tool so as to create drop down lists. Now I have to select data from a combination of two fields.
Example: I need info from Dataset A and Dataset B to create a new drop down list from Dataset C.
I tried with If AND formula =IF(AND(B4="Test";B6="de10");"ok";"no") where due to the selected values I got Ok as a return answer. However I need to have a dropdown list of relevant values selected and I am having some issues.
When I name my group (Dataset C) as DE10 so that it can be linked to DE10 value (dataset B) so that I can do a validation then I get an error as DE10 is an excel field name; therefore I thought of the IF AND solution as I was thinking of doing so that I can name Dataset C as XYZ (instead of DE10) on the data sheet however I am having some trouble in getting the drop down list to work.
Basically I need a drop down list from dataset C when certain info is picked from Dataset A and Dataset B.
I've been working with the getshortname() API, but have found that it has trouble handling strings that are already in short name format. I used a trim function to work around this. Now I find another problem; the API doesn't change paths with spaces in them. for example:
H:WCMGMTWC ProdBackup2
should return
H:WCMGMTWCPROD~1Backup2
Here is the
Private Declare Function GetShortPathName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetShortPathNameA" (ByVal longPath As String, ByVal shortPath As String, ByVal shortBufferSize As Long) As Long
Private Sub Test()
Dim longPathName As String
longPathName = "H:WCMGMTWC ProdBackup2"
'
'Get the size of the string to pass to the string buffer.
Dim longPathLength As Long
longPathLength = Len(longPathName)
Dim shortPathName As String
shortPathName = Space$(longPathLength)..............................
When u open a new sheet the down scroll is limited to the screen size - very comfortably the scroll automatically increases its span as one uses more rows.
HOW DO I REVERSE IT?!?!
I had a 10K rows and I narrowed them to 100 (transpose). How can I shorten the scroll down ruler?
One of my commandbuttons will every now and then be covered by the FormulaBar, is it possible to assign a short key/ hot key for its function (CTRL+q)?

Case xlNone: ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case 3: ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Case 6: ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Case 10: ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Select
End Sub
I wrote a little macro and put in into presonal workbook. I cant seem to get the short cut to work. When I got into " Tools > Macro > Macros > Options" and put in a letter that I want to use for short cut it does not work.

I have a long list of locations in an excel spreadsheet, stating either the country (eg India) or for US locations the state (in a two letter format, eg NY). I need to change all the state location to say "USA". How can I do this, without doing 50 find and replaces? Can I do something based around the fact all the USA locations are two letters, whereas all the others are longer?

finding or developing a compressing technique, which can compress a 7 number string i.e., 11,10,1,2,10,7,5 down to 6 or 5 lossless, that would be amazing.
I already researched many compression technique; Huffman, Run-Length and LZ78 which all do well on large data sets and I only have a few numbers. If it helps by converting the numbers to binary for better compression then I what to known. I know that a solution could be impossible as we would know about it already but may be someone knows a trick to get rid of one digit.

I've got a variable path for a file stored in a cell inside a worksheet that I need to convert to the old dos format (no spaces).
From c:Awesome FileFTPMy Awesome File.txt
to c:Awesom~1FTPMy~1.txt
The actual path/file name is much longer and is determined by multiple fillable fields, cells, and drop down menu's so the only feasible way at the moment seems to be that I need some code to convert the file/path name all at once.
After doing a little searching on google I came up with several that could determine the short path name of the actual workbook, but none that could convert a path that was different from the workbook.

I need to extract key cell info from a master list when one of the cells meets a certain criteria.
Example:
Each row of the main sheet represents a Purchase Order with columns A-M each containing text, numeric, or currency values regarding that PO.

If the activity code for a row is in the 1000 series (1000 -1099) I need to assign info from 3 other columns (say B, E, &G) to a subsequent sheet for tracking.

I am needing to create a sequential serial number using a format yyyy-nnn, where yyyy is the current year and nnn is a sequential number (2007-001). I've tried using both a formula and custom formats but cannot get the cell contents to display as desired. I've used TODAY()&"-"&"001", which gives a valid result of 39100-001, but this not what I need. I've tried many other combinations in the custom option for formatting the cell.
