i am a rowing coach and have to enter a lot of splits every day after practice and am hoping to find a way to do it without having to use the : or . keys.
so a split like 1min. 27.5sec, displayed as 1:27.5 could be entered as 1275.
i see that there are some questions already about this but seem to just work with H:M:S and time of day, i tried but wasn't able to use these for my purpose.
another fly in this ointment is that i also enter heart rates on the same sheet so in A1 it would be splits A2 heart rate, A3 split A4 HR.....
i do this for approximately 40 rowers each day with different workouts each day so each worksheet has splits and HR in different rows and columns.
I need to find a way to enter times into excel without having to use a colon.
The data I need in the cell is the hour, the minute, and either AM or PM. No seconds, which I believe is why Chip Pearson’s time VBA procedure doesn’t work for me, and I don’t know enough about VBA to change it for my needs.
So for example, I need to enter in times like 10:09 PM or 12:40 AM or 2:33 AM.
All my times will be entered into Column D.
I have done a ton of searching and tried several different solutions, but none of them allow me to put in AM or PM. If I just put 1009 into a cell with Chip Pearson’s macro, it will display as 10:09 AM, which is great if I need it to be AM. But if I need it to be PM, and I enter in “1009 p”, it will display as “1009 p”, neglecting the colon and not displaying the time correctly.
Does anyone have a solution where I can type in a 3 or 4 digit number (233 or 1240) and either “a” or “p” after it, and have it display as 2:33 PM or 12:40 AM?
In my workbook I have about 20 sheets (less in the attached sample), and on most sheets I’d like to query data for each day and find an average value based on the time and then copy that result into another sheet. I’m not sure if I’ll need 2 macro’s for this or if one can be used.
Here’s a quick description:
Assuming that I am currently in the sheet I want to run the macro, then I will either input “1:45” or “0:45” into a popup box, or I could always simply input the 1:45 or 0:45 in the code itself. I’m flexible
1:45:
If I input 1:45, then I’d like the macro to find the first 1:45 in Column B and the value in the same row in Column F will be used in the calculation. Once 1:45 is located, then the macro moves up to find 22:45 in Column B and the value in the same row in Column F will be used in the calculation.....
I'm looking for a formula that will calculate the difference in times between specific times while working with a 24 hr clock. Please see details below:
E3 provides the start time of 4:00 H3 provides an end time of 15:30
If an employee works betwen the hours of 0:00 (midnight) to 5:59, this is considered DIFF hours and is therefore the number I am seaking. So for the data noted above, the total DIFF hours worked is 2 hours.
Is it possible to create a script that will allow mimic the keypress of a keyboard?
For example, if I press the windows key and R, windows will bring up the run box and then I can type in C:Windows and press enter and it will open C:Windows.
Is it possible to have Excel do this?
This would mean I create a macro that has keypresses programmed in so I can run a command prompt and enter some details there then copy the data and paste it into Excel.
I scratched this macro to autosort on more than three keys on a cell change...but is not working:
Dim rng As Range ' Set Target Range, i.e. Range("A1, B2, C3"), or Range("A1:B3") Set rng = Target.Parent.Range("A2:V1500") ' Only look at single cell changes If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub ' Only look at that range If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub ' Action if Condition(s) are met ' Do your thing here rng.Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("F2") _ , Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("E2"), Order3:=xlAscending, Key4:=Range("C2"), Order4:=xlAscending, Key5:=Range("B2") , Order5:=xlAscending, Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _ False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _ :=xlSortNormal, DataOption3:=xlSortNormal, DataOption4:=xlSortNormal, DataOption5:=xlSortNormal End Sub
The error goes to Key 4 saying it´s a compilation error, argument with name doesn´t founded.
The following macro works when I run using Alt+F8+Enter The macro also works when it is linked to a button on the worksheet. However, it does not work when I try to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P. I've tried adding the shortcut key code into the macro -- still doesn't work. I've tried changing the shortcut key to a different letter
I am trying to create the game of snake in VBA as practice, but I cannot find how to use the arrow keys as input. From what I have read it seems that it may not be possible, but how to change the value of a variable every time an arrow key is hit, post how to do so.
I understand the end(x1Down), but i think I am missing something. I just want to go to the next cell left, right or Up, Down from whatever cell is currently selected. How do I replicate a 1 cell move as an arrow key would do?
For some reason, when i use my arrow keys to move from cell to cell it now only scrolls my screen around....What did i do, and how do i change it back? I find it sad that i can write code and this stumped me.
When every I click in a excel box and try to use my arrow keys to move the box example: A3 to A4. All it does is move the page up and down or across. Is there some type of setting on that is not letting me do this. It use to allow me to. Until another employee got on it. I can not start over becouse I have months of work on this book.
I am working on the last step in a very long project, how to filter my data based on keys in a dictionary.
The data I am working with (in the ActiveSheet) has a list of names (in column 6). I want to add these names as keys in the dictionary and the corresponding location (in column 7) as the items. Then, I want to filter the data by each key in the dictionary, copy the filtered data, and paste it into another workbook. I have included the code I have so far. It seems to work exactly how I want as long as I'm not using the dictionary.
Attached is a protected sheet. The yellow cells are unprotected. When the use is on the cell L3, and the right arrow is clicked I want it to jump to M6 and vice verser, in other words, navigate in order from left to right. Is it possiblwe to do this?
I noticed the arrow keys will move the active cell while I have an inputbox active. This will be an issue for my users, I need them to key in data only.
Is there a command that will disable the arrow keys while the users enter the requested data?
I would like to design a button (with macros),so that users of my excel page do not need to press CONTROL+SHIFT+F1+ALT,which needs to be pressed on my firm to get the new data from a central server.
How do I capture keys sent to Excel when my workbook is open / active?
I know when you write a macro you can assign a shortcut key combo to it, such as "Ctrl-Shift-s", but I can't find where / how Excel stores that information, and can only presume it is stored away not accessible to the coder, (ie. not by going via the macro -> properties boxes).
My issue is I want to capture a key combo, then from that call a function passing a variable dependant on the combo pressed, eg:
I'm creating a small Excel RPG where the player moves the around a blank worksheet with the walls of a maze appearing as you approach them (think dark corridors, you can see only 1 cell in all directions around you).
The players current location is shown by excel setting the activecell to the players location. Currently I have four buttons labeled Up, Down, Left and Right which the player clicks to move in the desired direction.
The testers were frequently missing the four movement buttons and this would put the activecell outside of the maze next to one of the buttons. They'd have to move it back manually.
I would like for the players to move around using the arrow keys to use the activecell, as you would normally move around a sheet... but before each movement there is a procedure that check IF the player can move in the desired direction or not (cell borders used for walls), and then once they've moved there are more procedures to check for monsters treasure chests etc.
How can I make the arrow keys trigger the macros that the Up, Down, Left and Right buttons currently trigger, and not just move the activecell?
Does anyone know the VBA equivalent to using the Shift-Arrow keys on the keyboard? I am wanting a macro to do this for me. Specifically I am wanting to use Shift-Arrow Right.
if it's possible to have a red line going across the spreadsheet while using the arrow keys it follows you down through all cells. And is there a vba coding that someone has ready written.
I am relatively new to Excel 2007 and my arrow keys do not navigate cell by cell. When I press the right or left arrow keys, my entire screen shifts to the right or left but the cursor STAYS in the cell where it was. Likewise, when I press the up or down arrow keys the screen shifts up or down but again, the cursor remains where it was. Is there an option somewhere that I need to change?
