how to highlight entire rows within a spreedsheet based on the information in a cell. I have gone to the conditional formatting and done:
=$A4="Needs Labs" and formatted that red, but when i go to note what areas it applies to, It will not highlight the row. I use the wizard box to decide where to apply the formatting like I saw on an online tutorial and dragged across the row, but nothing happened.
delete rows without affecting formulas
In general, when you write a formula:

I want to be able to sort a table alphabetically by one column after adding a new row to the bottom. But there is another table that uses the values of the former table. How can this be done without screwing up the formulas in the second table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file - central database - that holds a lot of raw data organized in tables. There are more than 15 files (dependent files) that access this data using VLOOKUP formulas.
I now need to add a few columns to the central database and these columns can't be after the columns already existing, i.e. they have to be on the left of some of the existing columns. Inserting those columns is going to mess up all the vlookup formulas in the dependent files.
Is there a way change the central database file without affecting the vlookup formulas in the dependent files?
I am inputting rows of data to test my spreadsheet and all of the sudden the formulas stop working??
Can someone take a peak at it and see if they can tell why its no longer working at I19?
I want to sort each row in an excel sheet so all calls are in alphabetical order without affecting any other row. I need to do this for about 500 rows. Is there any quick way of doing this without having to sort each row individually.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm on a BTEC in college and my tutor wants me to create 3 spreadsheets, one of them is a Master spreadsheet which shows each pupils grade for each module, their over all end year grade and how many UCAS points that grade will earn them. The other two sheets are for the modules which will have the grades of the pupils in that lesson, Pass, Merit, Destinction or Fail. I hope you're still with me... I've attached an example of one of the 'Slave' spreadsheets as I call them.
My problem is that I can't seem to find a way of doing all this without constant nesting of COUNTIF. The code I have for my 'Unit1' spreadsheet's grade is:
"=IF(COUNTIF(B3:G3,"x")=6,IF(COUNTIF(H3:J3, "x")=3, IF(COUNTIF(K3:M3, "x")=3, "Distinction", "Merit"), "Pass"), "Fail")"
It works, but it's very messy. If this sounds confusing I apologise, the attached documents should clear some of the confusion up. Once the smaller spreadsheets work, the Master needs to use them to update it's cells. If someone has a Merit grade in 'Unit 1', the Master needs to show it too by somehow linking the 'Grade' cell from 'Unit1' to the 'Grade' cell in the Master spreadsheet.
i just want a macro to run over 4 sheets and combine onto one. I found this code -
Sub masterer()
if sheets(1).name "Master" Then
Sheets.Add before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Master"
end if
For i = 2 To Worksheets.Count
Sheets(i).Columns("A:G").Copy
Cells(1, (i - 2) * 7 + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Next
End Sub
This places all data in a line in row 1. Can the code be easily changed so
it puts each line from each worksheet onto a new row. So i have one big list of data ranging from columns A:G
I have a number of spreadsheets, all of the same format, saved into ("C:Email Attachments").
I wish to populate a master workbook, using a macro to loop through all of the workbooks in that folder, copying all of the data (Starting at B52-Q52) using Selection.End.Down, as the row count is always different and pasting it into the master workbook. Sometimes there may only be one row, so an IF statement may be required, to say if there is nothing in B53 then don't do Selection.End.Down. The overall result would be for all of the data from each spreadsheet is detailed as one big list in the master spreadsheet.
I am trying to find a code that will allow me to generate multiple sheets depending on what is selected in one specific column. I have found a code that is perfect for this however I can't seem to set the range. For example instead of copying all of column headings I only need to copy up to column AN2.

Investment Investment Date Amount
xxx company 1/1/2012 $10,000

(ii) Each investments have different investors. For example, xxx company has two investors: A and B; yyy company has 4 investors: B, C, D, E
I want to assign Investors Name and their Personal Investment Amount to the main investment spreadsheet. So that I can retrieve individual investor's investment positions.
For example, I want a spreadsheet showing B's investment. Then this spreadsheet should have details of xxx company and yyy company, as well as B's personal investment amount.
From a master (data entry) spreadsheet of work projects, I'd like to automatically create a tab for each individual contributor that lists all projects they are involved with. The thing is that being a contributor can mean being the lead, assisting with, or being the technician on the project (all columns in the master). To make the individual tabs easier to read, it'd be great to have that tab's contributor name in red, wherever it happens to fall in the various columns.
I've created an example that's a little simpler than reality - in real life there would be 20 tabs for the individual contributors and instead of 3 "Assist" columns there would be 20 columns.
I'm creating a master spreadsheet and I want it to pull live data from other spreadsheets depending on a variable.
I've a cell that has a variable date. I've files saved that have this variable attached to it in the name format: 'filename variable'.
I want to pull data, hopefully live, from workbooks based on this variable.
For example, I have files: generic 01212014, generic 01222014, generic 01232014.
The date is stored in the master workbook say in A1 that I can manipulate by entering a different date to pull data from a different workbook.
='[generic 01212014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01222014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01232014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
There has to be away to make the bolded portions of the file name variable, right?
Every week I receive a sheet of data that I need to import into my master spreadsheet. The problem is I have to adjust the data I receive to import it unless there's a better way of doing it. I'm trying to automate both the modification and the importing of this sheet. I've tried to create a macro to modify and import without any success.
To adjust the spreadsheet I receive I need to: delete or find a way to exclude the first 3 rows, the bottom row with data stating "complete" and columns C,D&E from being imported; change font, size, color, bold to match the main spreadsheet in addition to formatting; split data in column A and remove any special characters. Formatting is important because I have to be able to easily remove duplicates. Also, the number of rows in the sheet I receive changes weekly.
I've attached a workbook with sample data. The first sheet is representative of what my master looks like, the second is what I sent and the third what I've been modifying it to and then importing. As stated before, I'd like to have my master automatically update with the sheet I sent, but I'm at a loss having to reformat everything every week before importing. Having the sheet that's sent to me revised before I receive isn't an option. What's the best way to automate this?

I went to add the count to the inventory, it keeps returning an error where the date is pasted from one sheet to the other. I had originally tried to reference the value of the date directly, but because it was being passed to a merged cell, Excel didn't like it too much, so I had it copy and paste it. That worked at first, now it suddenly doesn't.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file with 9 sheets and I want to copy all the data from those sheets to a master sheet but with out the formulas . I need the values only to appear in the master sheet. I used the following vba macro code which I found it while I was searching for an answer, it did it perfectly except for the formula part. !! I guess, it has to be edited by adding some codes with paste options but I don't know how!
Code:
' CollectMasterData Macro

Sub CopyToMaster()
Dim wkSht As Worksheet
Dim DestSht As Worksheet
Dim DestRow As Long
Set DestSht = Sheets("MasterData")

Note: my headers are @ row 1 and 2 and my formula is in column A.
To set up the problem, I have a folder that contains files that are all named numerically, ex. 08-100, 08-101, etc. Each file is identical in format but contains different data, ex. cell B1 is alway "material weight", cell B2 is always "estimated man hours" and new files are added weekly.
I am trying to set up a master spreadsheet that all I have to do is enter the file name (08-102) in the first column, and the second column will return the data in a specific cell of that file.
I have directory with multiple workbooks. Each workbook contains multiple sheets (sheet 1, sheet 2, etc). On each sheet of the workbook, there are various data. The data I am looking to extract from these sheets are in the same cell of each sheet. (See data sheet –datasheet.xls). If I can extract these data without opening the file, it would be preferred. Otherwise, opening the workbook, extract the data, and then close the workbook is acceptable.
Desired Solution:
I would like the assistance to create a macro that will extract data from each sheet of the workbook in the directory at a time until all the workbooks and sheets within the directory are read. The macro shall extract data from cell B5, B6, B10:B20, and sheet name from each sheet of the workbook and copy these data to an active sheet called “US” on workbook, DesireResult.xls. The DesireResult.xls shows how the data should be copied over. Before copying the data to the DesireResult.xls workbook, the macro will prompt the user to enter a cell on the “US” sheet as the starting point to paste the information to. Prompting the user to enter the beginning cell shall happen only once and not for each workbook or sheet being read. The reason for this is because the “US” sheet will already have other data in it. After reading each sheet, the macro shall leave a blank row at the end. The data from the next sheet shall be pasted below the blank row. Note: all the workbooks contain macro and link to other file. When opening each workbook, the macro should automatically choose not to update the links.
i have a spreadsheet with loads of info.
In this info, should include something i have produced.
So the best way to check is by reference number.
So my spreadsheet has a column with references.
So lets say from A2 downwards, i have data like (But 1000's more)

5345
34556
63321
36567
32214
5223
2142
2344
Now, the data below produced from a different speadsheet, should be in the above
344
5345
5345
34556

I'm working my way through a list of companies on an excel spreadsheet and making some notes.
After i've spoken to them its a simple keep them on the sheet in the current position or highlight the row red and move to the bottom or when they become a customer highlight green and move to the bottom.
I have a coloumn called customer (J) is it possible if i put a Y in that cell to make the row green and move to the bottom and also if i put a N in the column make the row green and move to bottom.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to design a macro that will compare the student's completed worksheet to the model answer worksheet. This will allow the class to work at different paces depending on ability.
For each exercise, the two sheets should look identical; and so, I would like the macro to highlight any different cells in the student sheet in a colour. I would also like cells with identical values, but different formulas to be highlighted - this is why I could not use the solution posted in : "Compare two worksheets and highlight the one sheet's difference from the other one".
I am trying to set up a lottery spreadsheet, where I enter the results and matching numbers would be highlighted
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use conditional formatting to highlight cells that use formulas, as opposed to having constants?
I have a sheet that uses formulas to provide a default value, but you can type in a number if you want to replace the default. I want to be able to easily identify which ones use the default formula.
If I use functions like FIND, they look at the result of a formula, and not the formula itself.
I know I can write a UDF that will figure it out but I was wondering if there is some built-in way.
I have a payroll spreadsheet and I want to highlight cells that have hours entered for vacation. For example, in cell E4 I put the job name which is "VACATION" and in cells G4 through M4 I put the hours in for each day. (G4 is Monday, H4 is Tuesday, etc.)
I tried to put a conditional formatting using the following formula ="IF(E4=""VACATION"")" then I chose the fill color however it is not working.
I want to be able to open the Excel spreadsheet, and have some easy way to post formulas into that document. I was thinking a Macro would work, but I cannot seem to find a way. Columns A through V contain the data that is exported from the payroll system. I want to find a way to paste my formulas into W2:AH200. The formulas will always be the same.
I'd like the user to be able to:
1. Export the payroll information to Excel and open the document.
2. Run a macro (or some similar action) to place the formulas in W2:AH200 into the spreadsheet.
3. Input data into AH2, AH3, AH4, and AH5.
A sample document is attached. Columns A-V are what get exported by the payroll system, and W-AH are my formulas I've added to this sample (and what I want to be able to easily add to new spreadsheets).
Col A - budget items (description)
Col B - budget dollars
Col C - actual dollars
Row 10 - summation Cols B and C
When the budget is prepared the actual dollars in Col C are equal to the budget dollars for all items. For instance the formula =b2 is placed in cell C2. As time passes the user records actual dollars in Col C for each item by entering the actual amount directly into the cell. Actual dollars do not become known all at the same time, so that Col C will contain a mixture of formulas and entered numbers.
How can I highlight the cells in Col C that have entered numbers rather than formulas.
For various reasons, I need to determine how many total calculations are being performed in a spreadsheet. These can be IF statements, sum, max, vlookups etc but I am looking to determine the quantity. I do not need to know how many of each just how many in total.
Is there a relatively simple method of conducting this search? I don't mind VBA code, etc.
My spread sheet reads column A teamname, B games played, C wins, D Losses, E Ties, F winning % and G GAMES BACK
I'm looking for a formula to determine games back based on wins, losses, ties and also based on the number of games played.
example, team 1 played 9 games and is 8-0-1. Team 2 has played 9 games and is 8-1-0. Team 2 is would be a 1/2 game back. Team three is 8-0-0 also a 1/2 game behind team 1 but tied with team 2.
So in column G it would read team1 "-", Team 2 ".5" and team 3 ".5"
