View 7 RepliesI work with a spreadsheet every week to input values and subtotal them. These values change constantly and instead of going through and manually deleting each row in a 100+ row spreadsheet to be able to import into another program, I'm looking for an quicker way to keep my data in order but consolidate by getting rid of only the rows where both column A and B are blank.
Here's an example of what I'm working with:
5
10
15
20
50
2
4
6
8
20
This is what I need the final product to look like:
5
10
15
20
50
2
4
6

So I would like to quickly delete rows 2, 5, and 11. All of the other answers I've found only show how to delete rows based on empty cells in only 1 column. How can I quickly delete the rows where both columns are empty?
I have Main worksheet (sheet 9) and some codes in Sheet 10 which I use as a source for data validation in Sheet 9. So far I have a macro which looks for changes in cells and, when someone chooses a code from the list the macro adds a comment to the cell and populates it with an explanation of the code. The explanations are also in the code worksheet (Sheet 10). It works really nicely but I cannot work out how to remove the comment if the user clears the value in the cell.
My Macro thus far is:

How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?
Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?
I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".

I've spent some time creating a module that speeds my every day tasks. I've set up Excel so that it is attached whenever I open a new spreadsheet ( Book.xlt). owever, I am frequently emailed spreadsheets from others and would like the functionality of my module without having ot import the module everytime. How do I force Excel to attach/import my module from my hard-drive to any Excel file I open? I understand naming conventions could come into play in the event someone emails me a spreadsheet that already has "Module1" attached. I'm sure I can come up with a unique name for my module should the automated import process actually be possible. How 'bout it folks?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am able create a macro using the find function to find the next blank row, but I would like to have it select a range of rows down that I can then delete. Each time I run the macro the next blank row may be different thant the last, so it can't be a set number of row numbers each time. I could also possibly use the print area function if it would be easier.

I have this code that I have had for a while.. it works okay on my computer and does as intended... it deleted all empty rows in the selected range after checking to see if any cells contain anything that makes it look blank but isn't (it cleans those cells).
So on my computer it works... on a coworkers computer it converts every used cell in the usedrange to #VALUE...
In a rage of rows I have some rows that are blank - without any text or data. Is there a macro I might enter that will look at the range of rows, determine which are blank and then delete the blank rows?
I have a large database of customers. I would like to edit this database so that it only lists those customers that have an email address listed in that particular column. I can then save that as a separate list to upload to my marketing campaign.
Is there an easier way than just deleting entire rows at a time? About a 2,000 name list with maybe 30% having email addresses.
When adding a comment I check for an existing comment, if exist then delete and add new comment and some text in that cell. This works as long as the cell has an existing comment; other wise it advances to the "Else" where I thought I would be entering a comment and text in an empty cell. Why does my macro treat an empty cell as if it has a comment?

I have a cell comment on a series of columns and want to show only one column at a
time. For this reason I hide the ones not used, but the cellcomment doesnt move and
is still at the original place. How I move the comment when the original colums between are hidden ?
I'd like to know how to have the comment feature without the red triange on cells with comments. I didn't want to use data validation comments because I want the hover feature.

I selected only 1 value of cells
I want to add comments to all the 1 value cells by selecting all 1 by shift + ctl +down
I can put same comments to all the cells?
If you want to have the same comment applied on many cells you could apply it to a single cell, then use the copy and paste special tool bar commands (under Edit) In Paste Special select "Comments" but value is going of that cell.

How can I modify this sub to skip cells that are empty? I only want cells that are populated within the range to actually display the comment indicator, with the cell text transferred to the comment.
Ideally, I'd also like the text to be moved (not just copied) to the comment and leave an 'X' in the cell, in place of the text that was transferred to the comment, but I'll settle for the action above.
I am having trouble writing a macro to do the following. Someone had created a spreadsheet a while back that highlighted the cell green and inserted a comment with the person's name and date/time if they changed anything in that cell. The macro works great, but I need a macro to undo the changes.
I would like a macro that will remove all comments from the sheet and revert the cells back to their original color. Since the cells encompass many colors, at the very least, I would like the macro to remove the comments and make the cells the default shading (white).
I noticed that I have several (@200) comments that when visible displays Cell X Commented by (my work user number) in the lower left corner of the excel window. I'm not sure how to change this so its the company name instead of my work number. I'd be using a loop to go through each comment but need help with the line that would change this part.

Now whats getting annoying is i have to copy this commentry and then create a comments box then paste the text in there and finally, hide the comment.
So what i want to be able to do is be able to Copy the cell, then, have a right click menu button saying "Paste As Comment", so it paste the selected cells contents into a comment and hides it.
I have a worksheet where some cells contain a comment. I don't know beforehand how many of those cells are present, nor their address. I want to write a macro that stores the values of only the cells that contain a comment into an array (of course the size of the array is not known beforehand). This should be done by scanning through those special cells in a given order (by rows, by columns, whatever).

[Code]....
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
[Code]....
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.
I can't modify my formula to leave blank cells blank when dragging it down, Also, I've got two formulas that i need to combine. Please view the comments I've put in cells E4, F2,F3,H2 and I2 to understand clearly what am seeking. See the attached worksheet.
