In the attached file and when I click on Name or ID (B5 or B6) the input msg will appear on the same cell using the validation rule.
Actually I need any input msg to appear in the other area where i put the arrow. I tried to move the input msg to that Irea and it worked great each time i click on B5 or B6 but after closing the file and opening it later.. they will go back to the same place.
I am trying to create the game of snake in VBA as practice, but I cannot find how to use the arrow keys as input. From what I have read it seems that it may not be possible, but how to change the value of a variable every time an arrow key is hit, post how to do so.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am just starting to get my feet a little damp with VBA and I am trying to make a macro that will act whenever any text is entered in any cell within a 3x3 square. Whenever any text is entered in any of those cells I would like it to enter a text ( "X" ) in a cell which is specified by a cell in the spreadsheet (this cell will output which cell the macro should write the text in in this format "A:1" or "C:3"). How can I make the program act only in reaction to the user entering thier text, and also, how can I get the macro to read A:1 and enter the text into that specific cell? Any help would be so awesome, the book I have is really difficult to navigate.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a way to divide-up an area exactly after user input. If an answer exists, once I know how to divide say the width, I can use the same solution to divide the height. In that case I'll concentrate here on the width only.
- The user puts in a width of say 11300mm [11.3 meters], I then need to divide that by a maximum with, say 2000mm [2 meters].
- Obviously that doesn't fit exactly coming to 5.65 and I need a whole number, thus I then need excel use a figure under my maximum of 2000mm until dropping about 1883mm, it gives me the whole number of 6 rather than 5.65.
I'm no expert with Excel but I do use things like LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, IF, ISNU, validation list and things like that.
Basically this is to divide the area of a flat roof into lead bays, and as lead bays have a maximum size, I need a way to calculate how many bays there are vertically and how many there are horizontally off user input (width & height).
I have multiple data validations with input messages. For the new user, this is handy, but for the person that does this a lot, they get in the way. When I open the sheet, I can move one message to the side of the page and the rest of them come up at the same spot but when I save, exit, and reopen, the message comes up beside the cell and I would like it to always stay to the side of the page.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that serves as a navigation page for the workbook and use the following code to restrict from scrolling off the viewable content. The problem is that the code doesn't kick in until either a click if the mouse or keyboard input. This initially leaves the worksheet open for scrolling until input is received.
How do I make this code activate when the wb is loaded? Code in the Thisworkbook module already makes the menu the visible sheet, and code limiting the scroll area is in the sheet module.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:L11"
End With
Range("A1").Activate
End Sub
I've also tried using "Range("A1").Select", but it doesn't work either. How can I get this to work correctly?
I'm creating a basic form or templateusing Excel 2010 where the user will fill out information (See attached screenshot) I'd like to incorporate two a check boxes, that when ticked, change the display of the second table, either adding, removing or splitting of of the current columns in to two?
Is this, or any variation of, possible using Excel 2010.
I have recorded the following marco and it works fine. I would like to modify it so the user would highlight a range of cells rather than have the fixed area :

What code lines would need to be added?
Application.Goto Reference:="R4C5"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.
I have a workbook with multiple sheets that I need to print.
Is there a way to create a fixed print area within which you can mess around with formatting without extending or shrinking the print area?
I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.

Does a code exist to do Shift Key_Arrow Right, Arrow Down and then select that range to Copy?
I know the arrows codes but was told by someone no code can ever exist for a Shift Key.
I need to select a range after a "Search For" but the Range is not determined by the actual Cell ranges.
My Code for Arrow keys are:
'Selection.Offset(0, 1).Select '*Right*
'Selection.Offset(0, -1).Select '*Left*
'Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select '*Up*
'Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select '*Down*
'Selection.Offset(3, 0).Select '*Down * 3 Cells

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Sheet2 containing Supplier data in 2 columns - SupplierTAxCode and SupplierName (unsorted)
Sheet1 contains the Expenses section.
In Sheet1, column E6 to E1000, after inputting each SupplierTAxCode and pressing the RIGHT ARROW key, I would like to automatically get the SupplierName in column F6 to F1000 - from the corresponding data in Sheet2
In the event that the input in any of the cells in E6 to E1000 does not exist in SupplierTAxCode in Sheet2, would it be possible at the same time, to change the background color of the adjacent cell (SupplierName) in column F6 to F1000 at the same time - as a reminder to add those to the Supplier data in Sheet2 at a later date.
I could use Index Match and Conditional Formatting, but am concerned about the file sizes.
I understand the end(x1Down), but i think I am missing something. I just want to go to the next cell left, right or Up, Down from whatever cell is currently selected. How do I replicate a 1 cell move as an arrow key would do?
For some reason, when i use my arrow keys to move from cell to cell it now only scrolls my screen around....What did i do, and how do i change it back? I find it sad that i can write code and this stumped me.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis one has me baffled: I recorded a macro to add a shape to a worksheet, very simple. When I try and run it it comes up with a "The specified value is out of range" error. I've searched the net and it seems to come up where the file has been converted from an earlier version of excel (which this file has) but I haven't been able to find a work around for it. The relevant code is

I have an application were I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a regular dropdown list. The list contains 64 items and the text becomes very small in a standard dropdown list. Using an Active X Combo Box allows me to enlarge the text for easier viewing but with 64 items the list tends to run off the sheet. Is their a switch or some other way (scrolling) to make it more viewer friendly?

-then go to spreadsheet B and find the value of B1(which is the contract number entered in cell D4 of spreadsheet A)

I'm creating a small Excel RPG where the player moves the around a blank worksheet with the walls of a maze appearing as you approach them (think dark corridors, you can see only 1 cell in all directions around you).
The players current location is shown by excel setting the activecell to the players location. Currently I have four buttons labeled Up, Down, Left and Right which the player clicks to move in the desired direction.
The testers were frequently missing the four movement buttons and this would put the activecell outside of the maze next to one of the buttons. They'd have to move it back manually.
I would like for the players to move around using the arrow keys to use the activecell, as you would normally move around a sheet... but before each movement there is a procedure that check IF the player can move in the desired direction or not (cell borders used for walls), and then once they've moved there are more procedures to check for monsters treasure chests etc.
How can I make the arrow keys trigger the macros that the Up, Down, Left and Right buttons currently trigger, and not just move the activecell?
Does anyone know the VBA equivalent to using the Shift-Arrow keys on the keyboard? I am wanting a macro to do this for me. Specifically I am wanting to use Shift-Arrow Right.

if it's possible to have a red line going across the spreadsheet while using the arrow keys it follows you down through all cells. And is there a vba coding that someone has ready written.
