How To Link Format Of A Cell To Another Cell Along With The Value
Apr 19, 2013
I am working on a file with multiple tabs. I have an output sheet which brings values from different tabs on to the output.
I am bringing the values using a simple VLOOKUP.
What I would like is to bring to the output sheet not only the value from the inner sheets, but also the cell color.
The cells are not colored using any logic or using conditional formatting, otherwise i would use the same logic or put the same conditional formatting for the output. The cells are colored by the users arbitrarily.
For Example, please refer the sample file. In this file, when I select Company A, the values are from the tab Company A, but the cell colors should also be the same as in COmpany A. When i select Company B, along with values, the cell colors should also change as per what is on the tab company B. Is this possible?
I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I have a column who's content is determined via about 6 nested if statements from data on that row. That cell is then conditionally formatted to a certain color based on the text that is ultimately printed from the nested ifs (simply an extra visual legend for the text). All of this contributing info and about 1000 lines items make a very large and difficult to print page. What I am trying to do is a make a summary sheet that simply takes the index number of these 1000 rows and copies or links the conditional formatting of the mentioned cell onto this number on another sheet. I have already linked this status cell and put it adjacent to the index number which works well in that with two columns I can show the index and status but if I could combine the color of the status cell onto the index cell, it would be even better. I am pretty sure another conditional format for this summary sheet would not be possible or be extremely complex since the contents of the index cell I am conditionally formatting have no bearing on the conditions for the format. Was hoping there is some VBA magic that could simply mimic the conditional formatting from one cell and put it on another.
I have a macro that inputs a sheet and cell from the user. when the macro tries to make a formula it outputs =data!'AE3'. I need it to output =data!AE3
Dim Sheet As String Sheet = InputBox("Take Data from where?") Dim startcell As String startcell = InputBox("Start Cell?")
Is it possible to link a cell e.g. A10 that has a time value in it (there is a formula in this cell that puts in the time value) to another cell in a range of cells e.g. B1:B1000 that has the same time value?
I want to create a summary page with the tab name and a link to the contents in a specific cell. In the code below, I can get the sheet I want but in the second column, I would like to link to the data instead of getting the data in the cell. Can I do this with a simple modification to this
Dim a As Long Sheets.Add.Name = "Notes" For a = 1 To Sheets.Count Worksheets("Notes").Cells(a, 1) = Worksheets(a).Name 'The next line gets me data, but I want to link to this cell in all worksheets Worksheets("Notes").Cells(a, 2) = Worksheets(a).Cells(15, 18) Next a
I would like to have a link in a merged set of cells that puts the insertion point to another cell. Scenario: In cell k30, the user puts in the amount of credit card debt a individual has, and scripts the user based on that information. Later on, they get a more accurate running total of the amount of debt and need to change the amount in k30 for an accurate quote. After ther running total, in cell j172(a merged box for instructions) i instruct the user to be sure to enter the new total in cell K30.
Questions: 1. Is there a way to put a button or a link that would put the insertion point back up to K30 automatically, but allow the user to change it themselves and not change it automatically?
I would like to ask if there's a way that i can create a link in a cell to another cell. Sample: in cell A1: there's a word "click to go to cell A150" in this case i dont have to use scroll down to go to cell A150.
I have a column on a spreadsheet containing the last four (XXXX) or in some cases six (XX-XXXX) if there are duplicates of the last four SSN. I manually enter these as needed. I also create a folder that will be named the last four or six in the same format that is in the excel spreadsheet. Is there a simple way to automate the linking of these cells to the external folders?
I have a macro that copies a sheet and renames it:
Copies "Q114" and renames it to "Q214". Q114 is defined as OLD in my VBA code Q214 is defined as NEW in my VBA code.
I also have a third sheet, call it "results", which picks up cell values, ie cell A1 in "Q114", but now I want it to use cell A1 "Q214". The values hasn't been filled in, so I need a link between them:
I have is a summary worksheet with two columns. One column is for Project ID number and the other is an address link to a specific cell in the worksheet corresponding to the Project ID. Perhaps the best way to explain this is by giving an example:
As you can see the spreadsheets are named after the Project ID number. What I would like to do, if possible, is instead of typing in the name of the spreadsheet for each project in column 2 (Balance), I could somehow reference the cell value in column 1 (Project ID). Something like this:
I have a list of employees on sheet1 and each employee has there own sheet with their name as the sheet name. Each sheet contains a form that the employees need to fill in.
I have created several extra sheets for new employees and I would like these sheet names to be linked to a cell on sheet1. This way the only updating I need to do when receiving new employees is enter there name to the list in sheet1.
I need to group those machines under 1 part number. For instance, part 123 is used in which machines, I need to state them in a way like above. But repeated should not be stated again.
In Excel, I have a sheet for each team that I manage. Each sheet lists the team members and displays their picture below their names. Some people are on multiple teams/sheets.
I have a master list with everybody's name and picture that I copy and paste the pictures from when putting a team together. This has become a very tedious process.
Is there a way I can type the person's name on a team sheet and have their picture automatically appear below their name? I don't know if this can be done with some kind of lookup or if it will involve VB. I tried making the picture the background of an Autoshape or comment, but I could not figure out how to dynamically change the picture based on the name in a cell.
Is there a way of embedding a formula in a worksheet so that the tab name of each worksheet is linked to a value in a cell on that sheet? (I don't want to run a macro) In other words if the cell name is changed, the page name changes automatically.
I have a file contain some links with the other file. I want to remove these links but I don't know which cell contain the links. Is there anyway that can let me know which cell contains links so i needn't search one by one?
I am trying to build a stock watchlist in excel 2007 with a dynamic link to a DDE server (paid for).There is no add-in or plug-in, I just CTL ALT & drag each code from a watchlist in the program I am using and place it in a cell, however can only choose one data field at a time. There are 14 data fields and over 150 codes in my list which makes 2100 cells. (My guess is about 3 days work)
I would like to just enter the stock code in say column A (A3) and with each DDE data field (e.g. lastprice, open, cose, high etc) entered in subsequent columns have it lookup the stock code in cell A3 and return the correct value based on the code in column A, rather than entering each cell individually.
Is it possible to write a macro or vba code to create the cell formula so I can just fill down and save myself 3 days work?
The DDE server I am using is formatted like this:
PROGRAMNAMElDATAFIELD!STOCKCODE
example
MISDATAlLASTPRICE!BHP.ASX
I thought I might be able to do something like the following, but it doesn't seem to work.
MISDATAlLASTPRICE!$A3
Note: The DDE server can only be accessed while the other program is running and is password protected
Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.
I have a spread sheet and I want to conditionally format rows to be a certain color. That part I'm fine with. But I don't want them to be a set color. I have a "key" of different colored cells that I want to be the fill colors of the formatting. The ultimate goal is that for example the key looked like this
red blue yellow green
then the rows I had would be formatted as red, blue, yellow, and green. But if you were to go into the key and change the first cell from red to purple, then the rows would become formatted as purple, blue, yellow, and green. Obviously I can copy formating by hand using the format painter, but I want it to update automatically.
Below is my code which isn't formatting the cells it's suppossed to. It looks like it isn't doing anything. I think the issue might be with the highlighted section of my code, but when I go to "Manage" my rules for conditional formatting, excel references the appropriate cell under the "Applies to" section. I am using relative cell references for for the majority of the rest of the code and this section follows a section that selects the correct cell for this conditional format.
I would like to have a single button that changes a range of cells from the USD to EURO to perhaps CAD symbol. Can this operation be performed, such that if I start in dollars, and I click the button once, it shifts by range to EURO (not formulas...just symbol)...and then if I click the same button again, it goes to CAD, and then back to USD with a third click?
I'm trying to get a multi-selected list box to populate cell A2 with a concatenated list of what is selected; cell link works for single selections only? Is there any code, vba or function that can accomplish this?
