I am wanting to freeze the first column on my spreadsheet (easy) but also the top few rows. Every time I try (am using 2007) it seems to make a strange selection where it splits the screen exactly into 4 equal parts rather than just the first column and top 4 rows.
View 3 RepliesI have a macro which I recorded, then modified. The first thing it does is to freeze the top row, then it goes looking for a particular row and inserts some formulae. Nothing complicated at all.
It WAS working perfectly, but I wanted some improvements in the insertion of the formulae. I got that working just fine, but now the panes freeze in the wrong place. No matter what I do, it freezes at cell I16. I want only the top row frozen.
Found this code which was reported to work:
PHP Code:
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False Range("A1").Select ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
It still freezes at I16. I have tried shutting down Excel, and even my computer, in case it is some weird bug where something is stuck in memory.
I tried recording another macro to format some cells and also freeze the top row. Same result.
PHP Code:
Sub wraptext_top_row()'' wraptext_top_row Macro''
Rows("1:1").Select With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
[Code] ..........
Same result. I tried copying the contents of the worksheet to Notepad, then into a fresh workbook, just in case there's some weird hangup in formatting that I can't see.
There is NOTHING in the original code that references that cell, or even that row or column. NOTHING. How it got hung up on that one cell I cannot fathom.
The Freeze Panes command works normally if I apply it manually. Any cell, anywhere, it works as expected.
can i freeze a row and a column in one time?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

How would you set up a macro to delete numbers in a spreadsheet in one column that appear in another column or worksheet?
In other words, if I have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 in one column and in the same column, or another column or worksheet I have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 - I need a way to delete 1,2,3,4,5. I know how to delete duplicates via the advanced filter but I want to have the duplicate and original deleted.
I was wondering if it is possible to hide a column(s) but still have data in that column be visible at the bottom of the spreadsheet. For example, if I hide column G can it only hide the column from rows 1 - 50 and then the column will appear after row 50?

I'm trying to convert various codes from one column of an excel spreadsheet into different codes in another column. I was able to accomplish this with "If" statements, however I'm only able to string together seven of these statements in one command. Is there a better way to add formulas for more than seven conversions? Below is a copy of what I've done so far with the seven converts:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("WARN",J2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PSSNAP",N2)),"Sales",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("WARN",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("2699",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("4004",L2)),"Warning",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("2036",L2)),"Warning",""))))))
I want to add about 15 more codes to convert within this formula but it's maxed out in the format I'm using.
I have multiple sheets as part of my excel calculations which refer to the first sheet in the group. Each one calculates different values for me based on the numbers I put into the sheet.
So to put in these numbers, I insert new rows to the start of the sheet which is what I always want it to calculate. Some of the calculations are comparative to other points from my original page. So I might ask it to go back and compare to 3 months ago or 6 months ago.
Long story short, when I insert those new rows, the formula on the other pages shift down to stay on the previous days data. How can I lock it in so it stays focused on just the cell I tell it to reguardless of how I move those cells around. So when i hit insert, I still want it focused on that sheets A1 and NOT A2.
I attempted to look up the help section but since I am having a hard time putting this into words, help was not much "help".
I tried highlighting the top 2 rows and clicking 'freeze panes' but it didn't seem to freeze correctly

i have tried asding "unload me" after the "activesheet.printpreview" line but does not make any differnce i end up having to close excel via task manager and reopen it.

I am trying to get the first column to float down as you scroll down the spreadsheet to fill in information. How do I get that going. I can't figure it out.
I use excel 08, computers viewing the files are 03.
Is there a way to freeze specific panes? I know that you can use freeze panes to freeze cells to the left and above a specified cell but I am trying to freeze specific cells. For instance I want to freeze cells A1 through K25 so that when I scroll up everything else scrolls up and when I scroll right everything else scrolls right?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to freeze multiple rows, that are NOT together in the spreadsheet. For example. Rows 1-3 are always frozen, but the 4 row that is frozen will vary on where the user is in the spreadsheet. The last row (4th row) in the freeze pane is variable. If I am between rows 1-100 I want rows 1,2,3, and 5 frozen, if I am between rows 100-200, i want rows 1,2,3,101 frozen.
I have multiple tables with different headings in one spreadsheet. My heading for table from row 6-99 is in row 5, and my heading for table 102-200 is in 101.
I am trying to find any way possible to freeze left side 3 columns and 3 right side visible columns on the screen. and the rest columns in between these freeze columns scrollable on left or right arrow keys as normal.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis code does not work the way I expect it to. Presently it just causes Excel to freeze.
The idea is that if you double-click a cell within the CurrentRegion (starting at A1) that AutoFilters will be applied and the selection criteria will be the target value:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MyRng As Range
Dim MyCol As Long
Set MyRng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
MyCol = Target.Column
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, MyRng) Is Nothing Then
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
MyRng.AutoFilter Field:=MyCol, Criteria1:=Target.Value, Operator:=xlFilterValues
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
When i have automatic calculation on, excel freezes. When i push the escape key i get focus back to excel but then it nearly immediatley loses focus again. I have to keep hitting excel to navigate anywhere with excel. By turning calculations to manual it no longer freezes. Is there a way to identify whats causing this freeze, I went through and deleted nearly all events? Why would auto calculate freeze excel if no changes are being made to a formula?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had this workbook freeze during a perpetual dynamic web query for quite some time now and have mentioned in a few previous posts while trying to elimnate probable causes.
Nothing suggests anymore it's codes or structre of the codes in Excel or even physical memory issues.
Symptoms as best as I can describe.
It only seems to happen when observing some extra internet activity due to the icons flashing on the task bar, in a split second.
For example, perhaps; auto-update checks, browser pop ups when logged in to a secure web site, or I even suspect maybe some sort of Ping, yet it's part of the overall standard operation of Wndows OS Ping.
From my intense observations it's always when the 2 TCP icons on the task bar flash an extra "beat".
Hope this makes sense in trying to describe a cause or symptom.
The nature of this glitch happens on all computers in both Office 2000 and now 2003 versions of Excel.
Fresh install of the entire OS has been done with standard Installation and a fresh re-insatll of Office,with or without security softwares etc.
It's always exactly the same, it will freeze at the precise moment the flashing icons is not the regualr sync. during the perpetual web query process.
It will freeze all worksheets, meaning I have to Close and Re-open the Workbook and it's ok till it happens again.
Where to now with this glitch, or would it have something to do with certain port settings?
Anyone know if it is possible, in VBA, to freeze the panes of a worksheet at a specific cell without selecting that worksheet or the cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a solution to freeze panes twice. That is I want to freeze row 1-15 and row 200-203. And then the rows 16-199 to be movable. In the first 15 rows I have column info so I need that visable all the time and in row 200-203 I have " Sum" of the lines 16-199 so that's why I want that to also be visible at all time. The ordinary freeze pane in excel just freezes at one certain horizontol point and I need 2. Can it be done with VBA maybe? Is it possible to insert an up/down arrow (the one you have at the right side of the screen, don't now what it's called) for the lines 16-199?
