I know that =now() will give me the time, and keep updating itself, but is there a formula I can use that will give me the time the cell was written into and maintain that time .. example, if I entered something into the cell at 3:45:21pm I want that time recorded in that cell and not change as they day moves on
View 9 RepliesI have a spreadsheet where an engineer is expected to record sample temperatures of water outlets, along with the time he took the sample. Each outlet has a row on the spreadsheet with a column for the Temperature and column for the time. I would like to automatically input the current time(or time and date) on each line as the temperature is entered.

When a cell changes i would like the cell in the next column to record the date of this change. After achieving this i want to set up conditional formatting to compare this date to the current date and if they are the same then change the original cell's colour to show it changed today!
I started using the code below (from ozgrid) which was working fine BUT my cell value in column A is actually taken from a different column. when the different column cell value changes my cell in A changes but the script below does not seem to see this as a change. it only records the date if i physcially change the cell in A rather than another cell prompting it to change.
based on my overall objective and my plans to date please can someone suggest a solution?
current code below....
I am looking to have a macro which will automatically add the username and date to a cell, when the cell above changes (or in this case =x). I have a bit of code from a previous project, but I have changed Target.Row to Target.Column and it is not behaving as I require:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("B2:BZ2"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Range("C" & Target.Column).Value = Format(Date, "dd-mmm") & " " & Format(Time, "hh:mm") & " by " & (Application.UserName)
End If
End Sub
See the attachment for the example. What I need is whenever row 3 ="x" I need the corresponding cell in row "d" to update with the latest date, time and username. Please not the macro is currently not active on the sheet as i've added the ' character.
I have a long sample list, (names and telephone no.), once a name and number
are used an outcome code is entered in the end cell like so ...
can i freeze a row and a column in one time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do you freeze horizontally and vertically at the same time?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I am having a 2000 records of date and time in excel (see the below example). My query is I want to add 6 hrs to each Cell and accordingly the Date should get changed for e.g see the B Column after adding 6 hrs the data should look like this. I want an excel formula (don't want VBA Code) ...
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the spreadsheet attached, i have a formula now() which will update the current time in column B if i select opted from column A and similarly in column D the current time will get updated when i select option in column C.
However when i first select the option in column B the current time gets updated but after a while if i select the option in column C the time in the column B is also getting changed.
May be there is a different formula, Not sure what is the trick ?

Is there a way to cause a particular VB function I write to execute any time a value in a particular range of cells is changed?
I thought I had it when I thought I could do a sum formula, range on the cells to be checked, then call the function as a side effect of this sum. It was then that I realized I didn't know how to call VB from within an Excel cell formula.
1. Is there a way to call VB (say, sheet1.myFunction())?
2. Is there a better way to do what I want than to try to hack a side effect into a formula in a cell that depends on a sum (which "watches" for the changes for me.)
The cells would have text in them, not numbers, so using the sum-based formula would be iffy at runtime to me at best. What I really want to do is run a function on the cell value as a string. There are a lot of such cells (thousands) so ideally I would only need one external cell to activate the function (which scans all the cells I am concerned with) rather than have to paste a custom, relative formula into thousands of cells manually to have each one watch one cell, if you know what I mean.
I need to use the Worksheet Change event in a particular sheet in a specified column which works fine if the data is already there in the sheet and then changed however,the data is in this sheet is actually a Sub-Set of a Main sheet i.e certain filtered records are being copied from Main Sheet and then copied to this IBSL Sheet.
After the data is copied I have to check each record manually and then categorize each record as Fresh , Rebooked , Cancelled , Tranch or On-Hold.....These 4 criterias are added in the Column 38 and the same thing has to be repeated in the column 40 , so when i change the data in the column 38 the same category has to be updated in the same row in the column 40..
But the problem is that the data is first copied from the Main Data Sheet into the IBSL Sheet using a Macro so then this even t gets fired and goes in the DEBUG MODE...
I need this to happen when i change the category manually..I am adding data validation at the same time while copying the data in to the TEMP sheet.
So what can be done to achieve..
i want freeze only one cell. I have a button. I want keep that button permanently in a place. i am planning to freeze a cell where the button is located.

how can i make it so that once the above criteria is met, and the relevant text is placed in cell Y4, how can i make it so that it Keeps that Value in Y4 now (even if Y5, U5 or Y6 change afterwards)?
I am working on an excel macro and need to know what the vb code is to get my cell pointer to move to the top left (ctrl-home) of a frozen pane. I don't want my cell pointer to go to a1. I want the cell pointer to go to the cell where the "freeze pane" starts.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook where I have columns requiring entry from A to AD. I have set conditional formatting in column A to show a colour if there is an entry in column AD. I would like to use a macro to always freeze panes in column D (to show the data in the first 3 columns) and the macro would then show column AD in the other frozen pane/split.
As there will always be an entry in column A but not always in column AD I want to be able to select any highlighted row in column A , run the macro and the cursor will be showing in column AD on the same row ( relative reference?) thus showing the entry in AD next to the other info in columns A, B and C.
At the moment I have a macro that unfreezes my header row and is set to always choose the "next empty cell" but I don't know the code to change it to get what I want. Currently if I select any entry in column A e.g. row 100 and run the macro I find the cursor showing in AD2! Of course I would like to run another macro to return back to A on the same row too.....
If the value of any cell in in column D is changed to "Closed", a message box will appear that says "Others must be notified when item is closed". In that message box, I want two buttons: Button 1 One is cancel and will undo the change. Button 2 will open MS Outlook with pre-filled email addresses and will attach the open worksheet. After the email is sent, to return to Excel.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following code on my worksheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2")) Is Nothing Then
Do_it
End If
End Sub
Cell B2 contains an employee number. What I need to do is save some data for the employee number that was in cell B2 just before it was changed.
Example: If employee number "10" is entered in B2.
Then the user were to change the employee number in cell B2 to "55" I would like to use the previous value "10" to do some VBA stuff with.
I have the following range of cells B2:Y3700. I want that when a value from 1 to 9999 is inserted in one cell of the above mentioned range, to copy the row number of that cell in the cell that is located in column Z and row is the number inserted in that cell. For example, if the number "1234" is inserted in one cell from range B2:Y3700, to enter in cell Z1234 the number of the row where is located the respective cell. At same the time is very important to me to not permit to insert the same number in B2:Y3700, so i believe that is need a macro code to check the cell from column z to see if value already exist .
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to save a workbook whenever any changes are made to any cell in a specific column? The reason - I'm putting an excel workbook out on a network drive for 4-5people to share. The sheet contains work items which are imported every 4 hours... Column A contains the status.
I want to save the file every time anybody changes a status to prevent multiple users from working on the same item. I realize that I could build a form then load each workitem into the form, then apply the save to a change event on the field/control, but that's something for next week - I need to get this out the door, bare bones, as soon as possible.
I am looking to insert a date in a Cell when another Cell's number has been changed.
I was using If statement as: If(isnumber(f4),TODAY())
but I don't think it is working properly
the cells columns would be, e.g. "Consumables stock" and "date updated".
So if someone changes a number is the "consumables stock" column, date updated column auto-updates with current date. How would I go by in doing this?
Is it possible to change hyperlink as per the cell reference changed in a cell. for example :- in cell D2 the apply a match formula to find out a cell reference (eg "A"& Match function based on info type on cell A1) Now I want to create hyperlink as per the cell reference mentioned in cell D2. suppose I type Red in A1 and D2 give me the cell reference A51 than automatically Hyperlink create for A51. and it continiously changed whatever i type in A1 and what cell reference is showing in D2.

which will calculate value of a cell when one of the variables has been changed?
To illustrate what I have in mind, an ecxample:
* User can add values to cells using UserForm
- Component name (to Cell "A1")
- Component price (to Cell "B1")
- Component quantity (to Cell "C1")
[Code]....
The following code works fine but now I want it to work without a userform. SO there is no userform and so no controls.
When the user changes date in a cell then a macro should run and following kind of code should execute.

I have a spreadsheet where sheet("summary").Cells("K4") = sheet("component").Cells("G7").
This is written as a formula, e.g. =SUM('Component'!G7).

There is a column in my spreadsheet which needs to reflect a " percent done".
I used to enter just a numerical value in (eg. 20) to reflect 20% done. My boss wanted it to show as an actual percentage (eg. 20%). I changed the format to Percent, Zero decimal places. Then you had to enter .20 to get the 20% to show.
Now my boss doesn't like that - and wants to be able to enter "20" to get the 20% to show. I put the following code in my SelectionChange event...
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'other logic
If Target.Column = Asc(PercentDoneColumn) - 64 Then
If Target.Value <> "" Then
Target.Value = Target.Value / 100
End If
End If
'end other logic
End Sub
My problem is that this works well when putting a new percentage in, but not for when you click on a cell that already has a percentage in it. For example, if you have .2 (displaying "20%" in the cell), and click on that cell, it divides that number by 100, and gives you 0.2%, displaying as "0%". I want to enter a number between 0 and 100, have it displayed and stored as a percent. At this point, I'd settle for the displayed, but would prefer to have it stored as a percent, too.
I also want it to not reset my value unless I'm putting a new value in!
