Is there a way to pause a macro while it is running?
For example:
COL A COL B
1 2
b 4
5 5
My current macro highlights all characters in this case b.
Is there a way to make it stop when it highlights b, and make it continue running when I want? I'm using a Form for this purpose.
I have this bit of code that highlights every other row. I would like to modify it so that it doesn't highlight the entire rows but instead stops at the column of whichever cell contains data.
For instance if I’m using a block of cells such as A1 to C5 it would highlight A2-B2-C2 & A4-B4-C4 only. Later on if I insert data in D3 it would now highlight A2-B2-C2-D2 & A4-B4-C4-D4. Anytime that data would be inserted into a new column all row highlight would now adapt to the new length of the table.
Here’s the
Sub ShadeEverySecondRow()
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = 0
Do
lRow = lRow + 2
If IsEmpty(Cells(lRow, 1)) Then Exit Do
Rows(lRow).Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Loop
End Sub
In excel sheet some times I highlight Cells, Rows or Columns for references but while printing these highlights get printed. is there any formatting tip so that only values are printed but highlights don't get printed (not even in grey scale).

Also when you tick the check box it inserts a date in another cell say D4 when it was ticked.
Reason for this is am trying to make a spread sheet with different products that require different testing frequency, some monthly some weekly and some fortnightly. At the moment we are just using a white board and staff just tick task completed problem is they need to check when last done especially when test required is of every 2 weeks and people forget.
If I make a spread sheet and it highlights the check box in red like I want to above at least it will give them a visual reminder that it is due.
I've seen a spreadsheet where the user can click on a cell, and the row the cell is in automatically highlights.
This is useful where there is a lot of columns, and it also looks pretty snazzy!
How do I do this? I know one way is to put the following code in when you right click the sheet tab and choose "view code":
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
UsedRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
But then I can't have nice background colours for other cells. Any suggestions?
btw, I've v. new to VBA - best to assume I know nothing!
attached is the sheet u have prepared for me but there is a problem in this sheet that it highlights only the first value in a cell however my requirement is to highlight the every value in a cell if matching with the search criteria.

I would like to somehow highlight all the fields that need to be entered, but need the page to still print out clearly.
I must be hitting a key by accident sometimes which makes Excel highlight the cells immediately below the ones I want as well. So, if I click in the middle of cell A1, it also highlights A2, A3 and sometimes A4 even though I haven't dragged down over them.
Why is this? I can't work out how to stop it doing it. Some previously recommended hitting F8 but this doesn't seem to stop it.
I have a two way data table for which the two variables are changed frequently. In the data table, for ease of reference, i usually highlight the corresponding row and column of the two most current variables the intersection of which gives you the current output. But these highlights need to eb changed each time the variables are changed 9the table is copied onto another document for presentation hence the need to keep changing the highlights).
I was thinking of configuring the highlighting process to happen dynamically, i.e. the row and column highlights change dynamically when the variables are changed.
Trying to use VBA to prevent users from sending a form unless all fields have been completed, then highlight blank cells, and send a pop-up message that all cells in myRange need to be filled out. Otherwise, send the worksheet.
My code will highlight the blank cells, but it only highlights one cell at a time and then I have to click on the pop-up message for it to highlight the next one, and then the email still goes out.
How can I fix this to highlight all the blank cells at once, with only one pop-up message, and prevent the email from going out?

I'm looking for a formula to use with conditional formatting that highlights cells if any of more than 3 conditions is met. I saw it on this forum before, but I can't find it with a search. It was something like =or(condition1),or(condition2), etc.

I added another condtion that said =COUNTIF($C2,"")

I occasionally give presentations with Excel and would like to make it easier for the audience to see a particular cell when I move to it. The cursor can be tiny, and some people have a hard time seeing the cursor, so I use the keyboard to navigate to the cells I talk about. Yet, the cell, which then has a border around it, still can be hard to see.
Is there a way in Excel to have a cell that is highlighted, that is I move to a cell with the keyboard, so that it pops out in a different font color or background or format, when I move to it, and it automatically reverts to its usual format and color when I move away from it?
I think this should work but it doesn't.
=AND($B4>=D$2,$C4<=D$3)
Should look like this

I am creating a spreadsheet for my job and knew a code or any way to implement this into my spreadsheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to extract some data based on two criteria. The first is that one row cell value is greater in than an agreed date/time, in my case this is 7:00am yesterday. The second is that the first 5 characters of a second cell, in the same row but several columns along, are not equal to 'Monit'. If both of these are met then the code will strip out several cells of data from that row.
I can do the first and last parts of this but the 5 characters check is proving a little more difficult in my limited VBA knowledge. The second cell is simple text format and I can't do a LEFT equation in a different cell to get those 5 characters (restricted workbook range so no room). how to go about running a check? I'm thinking it's probably quite simple but trying to search for an answer to it is tricky.
I am currently using the following formula to remove the letter "R" from the end of cells
[=IF(ISNUMBER(--RIGHT(A3)),A3,LEFT(A3,LEN(A3)-1))].
However, I would like a macro to accomplish this goal, along with something else. I have a list of values as follows:
CHD152-2
CHD115-1
CHD40-3
RE224
HPC644R
DOC020R
HPC594R
What I need is a macro that will remove any instance of "R", "-1", "-2", "-3", "-4" from the end of a cell. neither of the 5 values listed in the last sentence are present, the the cell will be unchange. So, after running, the above values would look like this:
CHD152
CHD115
CHD40
RE224
HPC644
DOC020
HPC594
I have a long list of items in one column, with parameters that are all split by an underscore.
However, in some instances, some of the text that is separated by an underscore needs to be joined together.
So for instance I'll have;
This_is_a_very_good_thing
This_is_a_perfect_thing
Where I want the result to be that "good_thing" becomes "good-thing" and "perfect_thing" becomes "perfect-thing".
How can I get this done with a Macro, instead of constantly doing a Vlookup to change this instances.
I've a column of data as below:
ROACH (#21)
SHARK (#11)
SHARK (#13)
UNICORN (#26)
ROACH (#20)
TRIGGER (#09)
UNICORN (#06)
UNICORN (#09)
UNICORN (#11)
VIMBA (#03)
VIMBA (#04)
TRIGGER (#06)
ROACH (#07)
ROACH (#08)
ROACH (#10), UNICORN (#24)
What I need to do it to strip off all the characters after the first space.
I assume I can use FIND and then LEFT, but how to I put this into a Macro?
Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to specify if there are 46 characters in a cell, to apply text wrap, indent the second line, and resize the row height to 25.5?
For example, I always will have text on merged cells B7:C7. I'd like to have a macro that determines if the text goes over C7 (I figured that it would take 46 characters to do this), that the merged cells will be text wrapped, then row 7 will be resized to 25.5.
I know how to record a macro that will text wrap and resize the row height but am not sure how to do the "if" condition.
I have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example
If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:

I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?
i'm looking for macro for find and replace characters in a locked sheet, if a cell contains for example Monday (First day of week)
I want with a command or macro to change the (First day of week) in (Top of the Week) like this Monday (Top of the Week)
I pull an excel sheet from a database each day that gives me sales data for different products sold. The way the spreadsheet comes from the system, the first tab is named "Document Map" and lists all of the products, and each product then has its own tab but they're generically named (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.). The name of the product is always in cell T8, but the name itself is only the last 8 characters of that cell.
What I'm hoping to accomplish with a macro is two things:
1) Retrieve the last 8 characters from T8 in each tab, and name the tab with those characters (same effect as the formula "=right(T8,8)").
2) Ensure that this only occurs on tabs with the word "Sheet" in the beginning. Depending on the day, there could be any number of products and they each get their own tab, so I was hoping to be able to get the macro to only work on sheets where the first 5 characters are "Sheet" regardless of the number after that.
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.
