I am using Excel 2007.
I have a spreadsheet with about 30 items in 30 rows. I have a picture object which corresponds to the item # and other info in each row. When I sort the rows, the picture objects don't get sorted with the rows and end up no longer corresponding with the item # and other info.
I have right clicked and set the properties for each picture object to "move and size with cells". This does not prevent the problem.
I created an object using multiple smaller objects (shapes, text etc,) and grouped them to make an icon. I assigned a macro to the finished object. It works fine when the sheet is unprotected. However, when the sheet is protected, the macro will run only when certain parts of the object are clicked. The standard cursor turns into the "hand" when any part of the object is touched regardless of the protection status.

This is with a filter on:
You can see there that some inserted object (in this case, PDF files shown as icons), are moved. I need to find a way to immobilize every inserted object within each cell boundaries. I want to freely sort or filter and avoid this kind of problem that gets worse with more rows, columns and inserted objects.
I have a little trouble with my macros. I wrote several different macros, each for a special purpose. Then I created some Buttons, which would make it easy for others to work with them.
But I have now experienced several times, that my buttons don't keep their assigned macro.
So I'm creating a grid worksheet for engineering calculations and I have a couple questions about the best way to do it. I've been messing with excel for my calcs for about a decade now, and I every once in a while I try and improve them.
First: I will have several input areas that will either be colored text or shaded background (either works for me). I don't want these 'input required' objects to print as color, just black. But I want my logo at the sheet top to print as color. I've only found ways to not print any color. Can I print the logo as color and the 'input required' stuff as black?
Second: When I do calcs by hand, I write them out on 10x10 grid paper. Each 10x10 grid is one inch. In the past I've created this grid out of the cells, which works. I frequently need to change formulas around though, and each time I do this, I end up needing to mess with the grid cells also. Is there a way to create the grid and have it in the background so it doesn't need to be adjusted each time I change formulas? I wan't the grids to print, and also want to see them on the screen, as I sometimes draw simple objects along with the formulas.
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.

In a seperate tab I have the offer prices in order of rank with the company name next to the corresponding price using the Index function. I also need to be able to color code the background of the offer price based upon the 1,2 or 3 associated with each name. I am new to the Index stuff so I need some help putting this one together.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to take a List of numbers, which come from a separate spreadsheet, place them into a UserForm text box and then use a command button to input the list of numbers into a column of cells. The list would often vary, between 1 and 10 entries. But if I could do this, I would be able to resolve an issue with my spreadsheet that continues to haunt me (the dreaded number stored as text.....). I know that you can assign a single textbox value to a single range-cell value. But if I could input a list at a time, it would obviously save a lot of effort.
Example
In spreadsheet #1, I would copy the list below.
25466
87550
66985
44252
In the user form I would paste these numbers into the text box and they would be input into Sheet #2
B6 = 25466
B7 = 87550
etc. etc.
Im having problems trying to sort through data and linking certain data. I will post example below:
Main 1
Main 2
Main
3
Sublevel 1-4
[Code]....
This is just one part of a row of the workbook but shows the Main data which is made up of 4 different sub levels on the right. I merged 4 cells for the main data so that all the cells lined up but I'm still having problems with being able to sort and link the files together so that when I filter, they all do it together. The example didn't paste well.

i want to see what is the bigger number in the row 49
then sorting these numbers descending and write it in C52
then make a quick equation on in each number ,and this equation is to deduct this figure from each other nine numbers and see what is the zero or above zero result and put it the cell next to this number (column E) starting from E52
example
527.7 is the maximum number so i put it in the c52
and then deduct 527.7from each number ,like the following
41.0-527.7 = negative value (doesnot count)
21.8-527.7= negative value (doesnot count)
....
.... so on
and we will see that the only greater than zero or equal to zero result is only 1 result so we put the figure 1 in the cell E52
and so on on each number
When I Copy My Excel Document I Find This:
In My New Document The Custom Toolbar Is Likning The Functions (macros) To My Old Workbook In My Other ( The One I Copied From) Document.
Can I Make The File Path Of The Macros Change With The File Path Of The Document.
Or Embed The Macros To The Sheet
I created a name with the code
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add "ChartNo", 0, True
I got an "error 428 object required"

I am using Excel 2003 and am after a macro that can sort a specific range of cells.
I have a spreadsheet that is used to record details of photos taken during bridge inspections.
•The details of the photos are recorded in column B
•The number of the digital photo is recorded in column C (the number of photos taken per inspection varies)
•After checking by someone else the photos are assigned a number in column A
After two blank rows that process is repeated for another inspection.
I am after a macro that when a cell within a range/block is selected it will sort columns A:C by the numerical order of the range block within column A.
For example when any cell is selected within the range A3:C7, that range and only that range will be sorted.
The same would happen when a cell is selected within range A11:C15, and so on....
Below is a script, graciously provided by Bill Rockenbach, in order to sort a specific word "Text" between two columns.
Sub SpecialSort()
Columns("C:C").Insert
Range("C1") = "=IF(OR(A1=""Text"",B1=""Text""),1,2)"
Range("C1").AutoFill Destination:=Range("C1:C13"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("A1:C13").Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
Columns("C:C").Delete
End Sub
Works marvelously, How could I use this formula to sort by a specific color? ie: instead of the word "Text", to be replaced with a background color RED
I was just trying to work around a problem with multiple UserForms in project. I have assigned Object variables oUserForm1 and oUserForm2 to represent UserForms of specific names.
VB:
Dim oUserForm1 As Object
Dim oUserForm2 As Object
Set oUserForm1 = VBA.UserForms.Add("Data" & CStr(X))
oUserForm1.Y = Y
[Code] .....
When oUserForm1 shows new data are inserted and another macro runs with a line to hide the opened UserForm.
In my project manager this user form name is i.e. Data1 (for x = 1), but the syntax Data1.Hide returns error. After that line it ask me to close the TOP most modal UserForm.
But When I use Me.Hide all works well.
My question is: Does VBA not see the name of the userform ("Data1") because I have used the oUserForm1 variable to give it a focus to it?
Lets say I have 20 cells. I want to randomly assign a label to the each cell from 5 choices, like "Blue", "Orange", "White", "Green", and "Black". But I want to assign a probability of selecting the labels. So the percent probability of choosing Blue would be 56% and White would be 23%, etc. . . is there a function that allows me to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a formatting macro that I recorded, nothing fancy just bringing in a few different spreasheets, and formatting them. I made this for someone who really doesn't know excel.
I linked this button to the macro and it works great, except at the bottom of the code I would like to put something that when this has run, it hides the button, so it can't be run again.
I accidently assigned a macro to an object. When right-clicking on the object, I am only able to "Assign Macro...", how do I remove it?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is use a variable NumberOfRows (which is defined as an integer) in this following code, but the problem I get is that the NumberOfRows isn't being inserted.
Let's assume that NumberOfRows = 15.
What I would expect to be in cell B1 is =sum(H5:H15), but what is getting placed there is =sum(H5:HNumberOfRows) which of course doesn't give me anything. I'm sure this is an easy syntax thing, but I just can't seem to get the right combination.
Range("B1").Formula = "=Sum(H5:H&NumberOfRows)"
I'm trying to do is sort cells which are referenced by names in the name box when a button is clicked. All the coding is in VBA.
If a cell is sorted by a macro, I would like the referenced name to move with it on the spreadsheet.
For example if the referenced name box for C5 is Bob and Andrew is the referenced name box in C6, when a button is clicked I would like the Andrew reference to move to C5 and Bob to move to C6. This is sorting in alphabetical order. However, I would like the referenced names to stay the same. Referenced Name refers to the cell name box.
Is there a way to do this in VBA?

the system works by whoever has the most points wins.. i already have my formulas and everything done..
i want the excel program to move the entire row, if possible, by whoever has the most points to the top..
(i.e If ryan d. has the most points he will be is vince v.'s spot)
can this be done automatically in excel or do i have to do it by hand?
I have a worksheet with a data base type list (16 cols, 10000 rows deep) which contains only 30 records, for testing purposes. Each cell is bordered in all 4 sides.
There will be a bunch or reports associated with this, requiring filtering and/or sorting. The macro instructions I applied so far are:
1) Locate last row.
2) Select the range from first to last row and apply a common row height (say, 24).
3) Sort as required
4) Filter as required.
5) Print
The sorting step has invariably failed.
The funny thing is that the code I used is the one produced by recording the steps. I am able to sort that segment manually, but the macro instructions fail.
here is the code...
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("F5"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("H5") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _
False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _
:=xlSortNormal
I have two columns with the same data just totally different orders the third column (associated with the second) has data that I want to sort.

Theres gotta be a quick formula for this i just have no clue
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making a system that warns me when the Monthly, Bimonthly, and Quarterly appointments are due based on calculating the "Last Serviced" date. The problem is that when I sort the data (usually by company name or by service type) it scrambles up the color coding and places the assigned conditional formatting rules in the wrong places. How can I keep the conditional formatting attached to their respective companies and row (and still be able to sort without scrambling).

I have a list of product numbers and product prices (table 1).
I have a list of those (old) product numbers becoming new ones (table 2).
BUT some of those products have been merged together so multiple old product numbers have become one new one.
Now I have a list of the new product numbers and I want to calculate the price of the new product by adding up the price of the old products.

I am trying to filter a list where the number of occurences of unique cost codes for each emp No is more than 1. What is needed is the emp no's who have only one costcode to have '0' in the 'no of codes' column. If more costcodes per empno, I need the first costcode to have 1, second code 2, etc in 'no of codes' column. The idea is at the end to be able to filter and delete all those with '0' in, as I only need to work with emp no's that have more than 1 'cost code'. See attached file. The records are in col A, the costcodes assigned to them in B, the formula in C, at the moment is:
=IF(AND( COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)>1, COUNTIF(B1:B2,B2)>1),C1, IF(AND(COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)>1, COUNTIF(B1:B2,B2)<2),(C1+1),1))
