I have an excel spreadsheet that shows every other row in a pale blue. When I do data sorts, the rows loose their order. Is there a way to keep the row color in every other row and still keep it that way after the data is sorted?
View 2 RepliesI want to know - how to highlight a row (or selected row cells) automatically, when any of the cell is filled with any data..
the row should be highlighted when i go to the next row - like mannually highlighted
if its by macro - let know the code as i tried on what i know but was unable...
Is there any way to sort a spreadsheet by the highlight colors? For example, if I have a sheet that has some rows in blue, some rows in red, and some rows in yellow is there any way to group them all together by color ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to accomplish three things with the attached workbook. The first thing is the insert a blank row between the different part numbers, column "A" to make the sheet easier to read. The second thing is to highlight the data in light gray (A:E) leaving the blank row that was created empty. The third is to then sort the worksheet by data in column "A" to group like numbers together.

Now in Cell C40 I have another number that is a formula. the formula gives me a total of how many points are left.
In C42 I want the total to either been 35 or subtract the negative number from 35, the points can never go over 35.
Any number that is a positive or 0 will equal 35, if a negative number subtract from 35.
I have Excel 2008 for Mac (vers 12.0). On a basic spreadsheet, the first column is for date which I have formatted so I can type in 15/8/9 and it appears as 15-Aug-09.
However, each time I open Excel after having Quit it, I have to reformat the cells in this column again as they revert to converting my date input with something like 39,123.
My other columns are formatted to currency and are always okay.
I set the scroll area on a worksheet and saved the file. The next time I open the worksheet the scroll area is no longer set.
View 7 Replies View Related1. I have a userform I created that has a text box that pulls it's data from one of the spreadsheets tab. The userform also has 5 buttons I shall call Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, Done, Cancel.
2. The first thing a user will do is make a selection from the text box.
3. The User will then select one of the "Tab" buttons.
Below is my code. What happens is that no matter what button I click (Tab1, Tab2, Tab3) it ends up on Tab3 because it is the last transfersheet line of the done_click() sub routine. How do I get it to stay on the Tab I select?

I have a spreadsheet that tracks employee stats. Most of these stats are amounts of TIME. These times are being pasted from another source and the problem I'm having is that as soon as excel sees "1:02:03" it puts it in TIME format. The problem I have with that is later on I need it in text format because a lot of the other times are in text already. (the program the info is coming from will use ":59:59" and not have a 0, so I have compensated for that later) So how can I paste 1:01:01 and not have it saved as TIME? I cant CONVERT it to text, I need it to be text from the start.

I have two columns of data

Every time I copy and paste cells in a specific workbook it changes the reference style to R1C1. Setting it back in the options, saving the document, closing Excel then reopening brings it back as A1 referencing but copy and paste will again return it to R1C1.
I've checked for VB code and there's nothing there either.
While using Excel 2003, I am aware of "freeze plane" and "split worksheet". The freeze plane comes in handy if I want to the first few rows to remain stationary and displayed while I can scroll down to the rows below. Similarly, the split worksheet comes in useful if I want to have the first few columns remain in place while I can maneuver to the right to see the other columns.
*** THE QUESTION IS: how can I get cells A1 to F20 to remain displayed and unmoved even if I choose to move the active cell around anywhere between G1 to K9999
I have a cell (H27) which has a (sum) total in and have attached a NAME FRED.
This is fine as long as the client doesn't add a row above it.
If they do when I re-open the sheet the NAME doesn't stay attached to the cell (now H28)
Is there a way to keep the NAME attached to the cell regardless where it is?
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Range("$H$27").Name = "Fred"

Dates are in Column B.g
Imagine you have only one column - column A. In column A you have 500,000 + rows with text like the following:
!magnus
snooze'
sleepy/
act noun
act verb
Today&tomorrow
*bialgebras
/dev/ null
dev
ull
1970;
Dwight Schrute
and your goal is to figure out a way to simultaneously transform the above rows into:
snooze
sleepy
act
act
Todaytomorrow
bialgebras
devnull
devnull

I know I can use Filter and filter out characters like &'!/; but that takes too long because I have a lot of lists to go through with thousands of entries. There must be a macro that will close spaces between words when only one space exists, but eliminate every word if 2 or more spaces exist between words - as well as eliminate unwanted characters like the ones I described above. I know I could use substitute and eliminate the spaces between words =substitute(a1," ","") but then I'd have to filter each and every instance of unwanted character.
How would I fix my formulas from not working when I filter other columns? It is a simple =A1/A3 cell and this calculation is down the full column. When I filter any column, the calculation does not stay with the assigned cells.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list or log that is updated by a number of people on a sharepoint file. The list consists essentially of 2 columns - lets call them Location and Date.
The Locations are populated from a pulldown list but can be repeated a number of times throughout the list. I have the list set up using Table Formatting so the range updates dynamically
Example:
Location Date
Site1 8/1
Site2 8/2
Site3 8/3
Site4 8/5
Site2 8/6
Site2 8/7
Site3 8/8
As this list gets items added to it I want to populate a summary table on another sheet showing the dates each site was visited like this...
____8/1 8/2 8/3 8/4 8/5 8/6 8/7 8/8 8/9
Site1 X
Site2 -----X-------------X---X
Site3 -------X
Site4 --------------X
(Had to add dashes above to get the X's spaced out properly)
I'm competent with lookups and such but I imagine this needs an array formula or some index/match combination which I'm a little weak on.
The solution should also not require any updating as the source list is updated periodically.
I have two columns D and E, the header takes up rows 1-4 so the first available row is row 5. The D column is going to have numbers added daily, the E column will show the cumlative total. How can I make the cumlative total stay and be updated with each new entry in column D?
C D E
Name daily cumlative
dave 20 20 Row #5
Jim 30 30
Tim 11 11
Sara 6 6
Say these are the entries for day one, I need to be able to make new entries in the same D column on the next day and have it update the running total in E?? I cant figure the darn thing out.
I have approx 500 workbooks which contain custoemr details and I need to extract certain info (postcode, name, contact, phone number etc) and place it all on 1 spreadsheet. I was originally going to source data from unopen workbooks, but have realized I only need to do this task once, and I can maintain it from then on...
I have created a spreadsheet (attached) which uses INDIRECT formulas to retrieve the data. When I type in the file name in column A, Columns B to K fill themselves in. What I want to know is:
Once I open say, 10 Workbooks, TYPE the name in manually and all the other cells have filled themselves, I want to somehow KEEP the data there, rather than it return a #REF error when I close the workbooks to open the next batch.
Also, if you look at my workbook, to the far right is a range of data which I use in my INDIRECT formulas. Once I have filled all the cells with the relevant data, I want to be able to Filter my spreadsheet by Date Ascending. BUT I cant seem to do it because it includes my INDIRECT range in the filter and mess's up the formulas then I have tried Locking & protecting workbook, with Autofilter & select cells etc TICKED for users to use, but it still tells me to unlock workbook when I try to filter.
I've created an excel workbook with multiple sheets. One of the sheets is the "Master Sheet" and I used the formula =INDIRECT("'Master Sheet'!A"&ROW(A2)) so that columns A and B on every sheet match exactly what I input into the A and B columns on the Master Sheet. I used this formula because it would allow me to insert rows on the Master Sheet and have that reflected in the other sheets.
However, I've realized that this means the data I am inputting on the other sheets gets misaligned because if I make a change on the Master Sheet it the A and B columns on the other sheets, but all the rest of the columns on the other sheets stay where they are. How to make the rows shift up and down together on the other sheets.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to have a web query stay connected and get live data from a site while still being able to use excel at the same time?
Basically the site has information that changes by the second and i need to keep a running record of it, and when it hits the variables needed i want to be able to trigger a set of code.
I have a table with a range A1:C6
If B1 is “hello” I want B1:B6 background to change to green, and text to stay black
But if B3 is “goodbye” I want this to override the above and make B1:B6 background white and text colour of B1:B2 and B4:B6 white (so the text in these cells seems to disappear).
I have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate

If Len(rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
