Get Contents Of Currently Highlighted Cell Into A Variable And Place It Elsewhere
Feb 27, 2012
How to get the contents of the currently highlighted cell into a variable and how to place it elsewhere. They suggested this....
Sub CurrentCell()
Dim CurrentCellText As String
Dim CurrentCellString As String
CurrentCellString = CStr(ActiveCell.Value)
'.......
'.......
Range("G16").Value = CurrentCellString
End Sub
My question now is - If the cell contains a runnable Dos comand, how do is send it to a Command window. (E.g. netsh interface ip address local static 192.168.0.1.255.255.255.0) (this sets your NIC's ip address).
how to set a cells value into a variable, using .value, then set another cells value equal to that variable without using copy/paste
What I can't figure out is how to see the value of multiple cells to a variable and place them into another range of the same size using .value. It would be nice to free up the clipboard.
I am in the process of reformatting an excel workbook to act as a review tool for different factors in a process. Part of my redesign includes the use of coding that creates different cell colors based upon the cell contents. The new workbooks will be used to handle existing data for this year. I have developed a process macro to open an existing workbook and copy and transfer the original data worksheet into the newly formatted workbook. The data gets transferred to the new worksheet and the resulting workbook is renamed and saved, Heres'' the rub... the newly saved workbook is missing all of the coding for the worksheets... apparently this is a MS bug.
Has anyone figured a workaround for this. One thought I had is to open both( new and old )workbooks and rather than move/copy , i would transfer the data using cell references.
I am trying to place the contents of an array into a column on the sheet. I can enter the array into 1 cell (which strings the values), but I can't seem to make range(1)=array(1).
I am creating a macro to automate data analysis for work, but I've become stuck.
I need to find the coordinate of the first cell in a column with word "reserved" or "extended" contained in the cell, and then assign the row number of that coordinate as a variable to use for moving data around. Basically, I want something like VLOOKUP, but instead of returning a value, I want it to return the coordinate.
How can you access a cell's value via a vb variable that contains the cell's address. I have a vb variable named cellAddress (string) that contains "$A$1" and I want to assign the contents of what cellAddress points to another VB variable - how do i Do this?
e.g. if cellAddress = "$a$1" and A1 contains "xyz", I would like to assigne "xyz" to a new vaiable by referencing just cellAddress??? Also - Can anyone reccomend a good Excel VB book? A book that maybe stresses the VB language rather then a cook-book approach.
I have a range variable named data I want to clear all the data in the 3rd column in the range variable I know how to reference a single location in the range variable but not a whole column. see example code below
I am after a macro to do the following, my visual basic skills are very limited (non existant):- Look at the date in cell A1 on Sheet 'Live Report' and err 'remember it' Copy a range of cells from A3 to A10 on 'Live Report' Go to sheet 'Monthly Summary' and find the date that had been remembered previously (this date will be in column A on 'Monthly Summary' which will probably be a mixture of values and formulas). After the date has been found paste special and transpose the 'values only' copied range from 'Live Report' (A3 to A10) in column B on 'Monthly Summary' next to the date that has been found in Column A.
In the attached, I want cells to be highlighted red if they're NOT EQUAL to 0. Why is this conditional formatting not working (i.e. the cell is being highlighted)?
Is there a formula I can use to see if a cell is highlighted? I need to filter for highlighted cells and want to use a formula to produce a binary result (1 for highlighted or 0 for no highlighting) so I can filter on that to only the highlighted cells.
I thought this was a pretty simple formula but I am having difficulty creating it. I am attaching a little test spreadsheet. Sheet 1 is where the data will be entered. The Reimbursed column has a drop down choice of yes or no. The next 2 columns are the cost of registration and the cost of accommodations. On sheet 2 is where I would like the formulas. So in cell A4 I would like a formula that says if B3 on sheet 1 is Yes populate this cell with the contents of Cell C3 only, B4 of sheet 2 would then be B3 if A3 on sheet 3 is Yes and so on with the Not reinbursed if sheet 1 the Reimbursed column is no.
I want to change (via conditional formatting) the background colour of cell H64 and K72 when I select / highlighted / activate (i.e. just left click in the cell) cell C66.
I don't seem to be able to find in the formulae something to indicate if C66 is selected / highlighted /activated.
I need a hint for one complex validation. In column B I am having emails and need to validate that after ” @ “ the extension is yahoo.com. If something different from that I need the cell highlighted.
I have a sheet with a table. Cell A12 downwards will contain part numbers. I wish to have a button that creates a new sheet based on the currently selected cell in Column A. I have the following code that creates the sheet based on a static cell value.
Sub Add_Worksheet_Name_From_Cell() Dim NumberSheets As Integer NumberSheets = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(NumberSheets) ActiveSheet.Name = Sheet1.[A12].Value Sheet1.Activate End Sub
I have 4 rows that are on a "Resource" sheet need to be inserted into about 150 different variable locations across 20 different sheets. Here is the code I have so far the will copy it to one specific location (see below). I need making the macro insert these copied cells to which ever cell I currently have active. I'm still really new at VB programming so this probably something really simple to solve.
I have a macro that imputs data from an external database and puts it into a temporary worksheet. This data has 3 columns (ID, Date, Amount). I am then making another sheet which has X number of tables (one for each ID), with the years being the column headings, and months being the row headings. ie.
| ID X | +------+------+------+---> | | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Jan | $100 | $250 | $300 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Feb | $200 | $300 | $200 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Mar | $300 | $250 | $100 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Sum | $600 | $800 | $600 | | +------+------+------+--->
| ID Y | +------+------+------+---> | | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Jan | $100 | $250 | $300 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Feb | $200 | $300 | $200 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Mar | $300 | $250 | $100 | +------+------+------+------+---> | Sum | $600 | $800 | $600 | | +------+------+------+--->
Currently I have a few hidden fields for the DSUM Criteria. I start making the tables. And then filling in table based off of the month and year. Doing so I need 3 criteria: >= First Day of the Month <= Last Day of the Month = ID #
The problem is it takes Excel too long to fill in the 3 criteria fields, calculate the result, copy the result, and place it into the correct place on the table. Is there another way to get this data into the correct tables faster? Instead of using DSUM?
I'm using windows xp and excel 2010. I have a very large sheet that has a bunch of highlighted cells. There all highlighted the same color. I need to remove the highlighting colors and change the font color of the highlighted cells to red.
I have this worksheet whereby I want the active cell to move to the next row if it is highlighted. I have tried to run the below code but it is not working.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Interior.Color = 5296274 Then Target.Offset(1, 0).Select End If
