I've developed a fairly simple procedure which lets me reformat cell backgrounds in a worksheet after various cut/paste operations.I've created a template called BASIC.XLTM which has this code in it. I've added a button to the QAT to enable me to invoke the procedure, but when I click the button to do the reformat, it works for the active sheet, but it also invokes another instance of BASIC.XLTM.
View 2 RepliesI've created some macros in Excel 2010 which I've added to the Quick Access Toolbar and want to show them using some of my own icons rather than the ones that show when you click the 'Browse' button. There is no option to navigate to any other location.
Is it possible to access icons other than the set provided?
When adding functions to the quick access toolbars in Excel 2007 sometime they do not have an associated icon with the function. The icon shows as a green circle. How to change the icons and also to have a selection of icons like you have had in previous versions of Excel?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have written a macro. The macro in question simply shows a user form. There is far more code within the user form itself. It is designed to automatically format a workbook.
I saved the macro as an .xlam add-in file to the default folder. I then added a button for the macro to my Quick Access Toolbar. This seemed to work great.
However, when I open a new file that I want to run the macro on, the button disappears. In fact, a 2nd Excel window opens up on my task bar. The original window still has the macro button, but the new window does not.
I would like to create/use a copy command in the Quick Access Toolbar that combines Paste Values and Transpose into a single command. Have tried recording a macro but it becomes specific to the individual workbook that I'm accessing and it copies the formula from that last cell that I copied from. Problem is that I have 19 workbooks to deal with and would like to save some keystrokes.

I need to send out an order form (spreadsheet) to 100's of people that need to complete the form and email back to me as an attachment. If I was completing the order form myself I would use the "email" icon that I have pinned to my Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). However, most of the recipients don't even know the Toolbar exists.
Is there a way I can insert an icon / hyperlink in the spreadsheet that does the same thing as the QAT icon. I can insert text to say "click here to email your order" (or similar).
I need to keep it in an excel format and an icon is so much better that asking them to save to their hard-drive and attach to an email, etc.
The QAT icon is exactly what is needed but I need to provide a spreadsheet that works for folk who haven't got the icon.
Am I right to say that "Call" is not mandatory and should be used only to invoke subroutines that do not return a value?
If you use the keyword "Call" to invoke a subroutine that does return something, the returned variable will be discarded.
Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
This is what I am trying to do:
File cell A1 = "C:ORLOAcquisition"
File cell A2 = "target.xlsx"
Basically replacing the code below
ChDir "C:ORLOAcquisition"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:ORLOAcquisition arget.xlsx" , UpdateLinks:=3
with, ChDir ""A1"" Workbooks.Open Filename:= ""A2"" , UpdateLinks:=3
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.
which of these toolbars provides the better 'controls' to paste onto worksheets (as opposed to UserForms)? For those wondering, both toolbars contain some apparently similar controls, e.g., combo box, radio button, spinner etc. but there are differences in their behaviour it would seem...

ie one particular spreadsheet i need to have 32 sheets (tabs) but am getting seriously bored to right click insert worksheet time after time. there must be a quicker way?
The goal of this code is to check between two sheets, if it finds a match between both sheets (somewhere in column A) then it should copy E,F,G columns from Sheet2 to Sheet1..

I've been having a play with sorting integers in A1:I1 (because that was the example in Wikipedia). I've got some code that kind of works, but the recursion is entirely manual.
(I know it's only a mickey mouse example, and no practical use!)
Sub quicksort()
Dim iPivotIndex As Integer, iPivotValue As Integer, iTempValue As Integer, iStoreIndex As Integer, i As Integer
Dim iStartNumber As Integer, iEndNumber As Integer
'how do I give it the original iStartNumber and iEndNumber

just an example:-
56
57
58
59
60
The Column above is the first column on a selected sheet.
i will select 56 and from there (End-Shift+Down arrow) which selects all the values from 56-60...
My question is from here on if there is a shortcut key or 'vba macro' that can autonumber from 1.
Thus giving output result of..

I am doing a "Lost and found" spreadsheet project for a hotel.
Each row contains the lost items with all the necessary info in separate cells (Room nr, found by, reference nr, client name, etc)
Every item is being bagged and then a label is put on it. ( has the same information but its just arranged prperly. (Like a label )
What I would like to do is to have a column in each row that has a "print" button. What would happen is that the macro would create a label in sheet2, print it on the default printer and then erase everything on sheet2. (I am kind of new to macros so I dont even know if I need to use the sheet 2 for it).
I have already done a kind of a template for the label and set it up on sheet2. I would probably manage to get the print function working with the online tutorials(if not i'll be back) but can't figure out how to do the first bit of it.
I have two spreadsheets, each with about 50-60 separate worksheets in them, and each spreadsheet has simarly named tabs. I am trying to replace the values in column Q on spreadsheet 2, and move them to column O on spreadsheet 1, on each worksheet.
Is there a way to do this quickly, or will I have to copy-paste many times over?
I have a folder that contain a list of files in shortcut type. So that i can just click it without going to different drives and paths to open those files and it really save my time.
After updating those files, i need to zip it up. There are many files to zip up and it takes time by going to its path one by one. Do you guys know is there any method to zip up those files without going to its relevant drives and paths?
I wonder if there is a way to enter my formulas as an array formula using Control-Shift-Enter in a more time saving way than one line by one line
I have 600 rows of array formulas all in column E but at different intervals with some blank rows inbetween
The formulas are in place but just need the CSE to enable the array formula { }
I am not looking forward to line by line entry.
Let me first quickly describe the workbook setup. I have a main workbook ("Fees") that acts as a master list for every employee's clients' account numbers. Every month, 30+ workbooks get downloaded from 3rd parties that have the client account numbers, as well as their current account value.
My macro- Loops through every employee's worksheet within the Fees workbook, and loops through every account number. It then compares the account to every account in every other open workbook. Upon a match, it pulls the account value back into the main workbook. After it finishes looping the Fees workbook, it starts to loop every open workbook, and checks every account value against every account in the Fees workbook. If it doesn't find a match, it prints the value on a Missed worksheet within the Fees workbook.
The situation- I know for a fact this a verrry slow way to go about what I need to accomplish. I am very new to writing code, and gladly can take the extra minutes to let the code execute to know 100% nothing was missed. Going forward, I would like to start trimming execution time without jeopardizing the 100% accuracy of my slow macro.
The question- Based on how I execute my loops, what is likely to trim the most time for the range lookups? I have no practical experience with Vlookup, but I understand that is a possibility I should look into. I'm vaguely familiar with Match, and arrays, and I believe they could also trim time. I also realize there are probably at least 15 other ways to go about it I am not even aware of.
Is there a quick way to remove duplicate values from a ROW. The "Remove Duplicates" operation under the "Data" tab only works for a column selection and not a row selection.
One approach I am thinking about, is to transpose the row into a column, run "remove duplicates" and then transpose again into a row.
create a MACRO/module that will take teh above example rows 1 thru 6 to look like rows 9 thru 30. See below ....

I have an Excel file that has over 50 different worksheets to track earnings from different sources in multiple categories. Each individual source has its own worksheet and I've grouped sources in the same category together and color coded the worksheet tabs so that all sheets in the same category have the same color.
The color coding visually see where one category begins and ends using the scroll bar, but is there a way to mark the first worksheet of each category and jump (or tab) to it instantly as opposed to scrolling?
For example, in the attached file, I am looking to quick jump to the following worksheets: AA, FF, GG, C, G, K, and U. Is that possible to do through any sort of bookmarking or is that a feature that doesn't exist in Excel?
I'm currently working with a largish file of about 300 columns and 40K+ rows.
1. To populate the cells, I have to find a match in column A first.define all of its entries as a range and make Excel's Find dialog box look for matches only within this range?Because right now I have to either constantly select column A before doing the search or move the cursor manually to the top cell before every search to prevent Excel from looking elsewhere... This is turning into a real drag. How to speed things up a bit?
2. After I've found a match in column A, I need to find the right column. All of them have a unique entry in the second row (B2, C2, etc.). The huge problem is there's a c..p load of these columns and identifiers aren't arranged according to any recognizable pattern. So, every time I have to do another search on row 2 to find the column I need. All of this is mind-numbingly, excruciatingly slow.
I attached herewith a file filled with Countif, sum, or, and. I look for a VBA to get lighter file. Because the file in fact will be filled up to 40,000 rows.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have months ( 1 to 12 ). Every month, a set of tasks need to be executed which takes "x" number of hours.
So if I have 1 machine working 3 hour in the month 1, the total time spent is 3 hours. Fairly simple right !
Say on month 2, a set of tasks take 4 hours. total time that my first machine takes is 4 hours. But i want to introduce 3 new machines in this month, which will execute the first month's tasks. So total time spent here is ( 3*3 + 4*1) = 13 On month 3, task time is 6 hours. And I am introducing 2 new machines.
So total time is 2*3 ( time taken for 2 new machines to perform first month's tasks ) + 3 * 4 ( 3 new machines introduced last month will now execute second months task) + 6 * 1 ( time the first machine will spend on month 3 s tasks ) = 24

Is there a way to make Excel jump to a specific column based on a value in a specific cell (in this case, B2-....MO2). Like maybe creating a form with buttons or checkboxes, so that whenever the right box is checked the focus would move to that column and to the row where the Find dialog just found a match in column A. Only I've never had anything to do with programming, so wouldn't even know where to start with this...
