How To Make File Path Independent
Dec 29, 2011How can I make the files path independent. Lets say I have 6 workbooks, one of them having macro that connects all the six books. While working on my pc, I entered the file locations by myself. The macro runs fine.
Now I have to send the files to someone and would not like them to add their download directory at most places in the code. I want that after downloading, they have to only open the main file and press the button to run macro. How should I do that.
Right now am using this approach:-
sub main{
str 1file;
set 1file = Workbooks.Open ("c:/downloads...../1stfile.xls")
and similar code for calling other files.

Making Text To Columns Permanent In A File
Sep 7, 2007I have some text that I am having to analyze which comes out of our computer looking like this:
N/0/N/Y/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N
I use the text to columns function and headers above it to translate what each field is.
As I'm doing my testing if I do this once, I can keep the file open and any time I paste a similar entry in it takes care of the formatting.
But, is there way to make the file do that permanently? I want to let the other testers use it without making them have to go through the steps of clicking on the delimiter, etc.

Make Text Flow Into Adjacent Cell Without Merging Cells Or Wrapping Text?
Jul 19, 2014I have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.
Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.
It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.
Permanent Removal Of Columns
Dec 11, 2008I have received an excel spreadsheet that only has 23 columns. The sheet is not protected, the columns are not hidden, the columns are not shrunk to .01 millimetres, the columns are quite simply not there. How is this possible to do? Columns displayed are a through to W. If I delete a column the columns display only a through to v.

Feb 23, 2010I've been using the function =vlookup(...) to fill up the cells in my spreadsheet. However, a problem I've come across is that vlookup does not make the values in the cell permanent and keeps drawing whatever value is found in the corresponding cells it searches. Thus if the file it draws it's info from goes missing or is edited, my data also changes accordingly. Therefore I would like to ask if there was a way in which I can make the data permanent in my spreadsheet.

Jun 28, 2006I have downloded several versions of the VBA calendar posted either here on or on "hey that's cool" forum (i.e Phil's calendar, Barry's calendar etc, ect), however I could not find the answer for making the calendar stay on the spreadsheet permanently without any triger to initilise the user form.
What I am trying to do is to have an embeded calendar in my worksheet where user can choose different dates and link this to a pivot table date field, so when the date changes pivot table output changes.

Permanent Conditional Formatting For Table?
Mar 27, 2014I have a table that contains +/- 12,000 (A6:R12266) rows and I use several conditional formatting rules to highlight rows where the data changes from the row above in a sorted column for the visual easy of users. The conditional formatting works great however the data is the spreadsheet is constantly being modified and that is where I run into the problem. Whenever a row is inserted or deleted my rule is divided into multiple rules which is tedius to manage and also causes the formatting to appear incorrectly in some cases. I have the table defined as a named table in the name manager and I use that name for the range in the "Applies to" in conditional formatting, but as soon as I choose apply the name is converted to the current range which becomes several seprate rules and ranges as soon as the table is modified.
Formula to define which rows are highlighted
=$F5<>$F6
Range data applis to after chosing the tables name and clicking apply
=$A$6:$R$12266
Creating Permanent Links Between Cells?
Nov 5, 2008I am trying to use Excel to document fiber optic cables that run between different locations. Each cable has 2 ends, but whatever service is connected to one end, will also be a the other. I would like to use an Excel worksheet to represent a termination point (a "light shelf" comprised of several fiber optic cables each made up of several strands of fiber (kind of a table with the 1st 4 columns of 6 rows being cable A, and the next 8 cable B)). I would like to be able to type in the value for cable A Strand 1 and have it linked to another worksheet representing a different location (the other end) and vice versa. I have tried to paste a link, but that seems to get broken. Is there a better way to make permanent links (Excel is bawking about a circular reference, which it is as each end needs to be linked back to the other.
View 9 Replies View RelatedChange Formula To Permanent Entry?
Nov 21, 2013I have a cell that has a result which is the average of a few other cells (In this case the result is in cell Y7). I now want to take that total and put it in another cell to represent todays result..I.E. I have a list of this months dates and I want the todays result to be populated in the table. So I have a list of dates and the cell next to each date has the formula:
=IF(TODAY()=A24,$Y$7,"").
It populates todays result fine however the next day it blanks the result (since the cell is no longer todays date).
SO the question: How to I have todays result oerwite the formula so the result is permanent in that cell. I guess I am looking for some sort of PUT command to take the result and PUT it in another cell without that cell being a formula itself to GET the date.
Creating Independent Filters?
Aug 1, 2012Is it possible to create independent filters. I have data for five departments and sales for different quarters of the years. These sales for the different quarters are independent. But If I select Q1 for first department and Q2 for second department it do not give me the result that I seek i.e. sales for first department for Q1 and Sales for second department for Q2.

Jun 30, 2008If the issue is not immediately clear:
If I select, for example, columns B:E and group (Data -> group and outline -> group). These can be hidden/unhidden easily with the line and + button created in the process. A similar set of columns (e.g. P:S) will behave in exactly the same way. If I have grouped columns B:E however and then try to group F:H, I end up with one large group spanning B:H.
If it is possible to create these 'separate' or 'independent' adjacent groups, I'd love to know how; if not, I'd be interested to know if anyone else has found this irritating

Dec 17, 2009I have a range that contains text. Let's say the range is colums $F:$M. There is x rows and in each cell there is either nothing or a word, let's call it "dummy". There is just a certain amount of "dummies", such as "dummy a", "dummy b" and so on, let's assume ten different dummies. It can also happen that "dummy c" or any other dummy appears more than once in those colums.
What I want Excel to do, is looking up columns $F:$M and make a list (possibly sorted) that includes all the entries from columns $F:$M, but each one only once and no blanks. Can I do this and if, how?
Update Cells From Two Independent Worksheets?
Apr 1, 2012I have two spreadsheets which carry the same information in three cells. Instead of just placing a link, =B2 etc., I would like to have the cells linked to each other through code.
For the one sheet I can use this with no problem, but as soon as I place this worksheet change event in the other sheet but reverse the cells references Excel gets unhappy.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Target.Parent.Range("B2, M2, N2")
[Code]....
Any proper way to update a cell no matter which spreadsheet the change takes place?
Sheet1 >> change is made to cell B2 and that same value is applied to Sheet cell C4.
Position Independent Autofill Macro
Feb 4, 2010I need a macro that can autofill irrespective of where the source cells are. Like, this is what I want to do:
Select two cells containing a descending order such as 50, 40. Hit the hotkey and the macro should autofill the same way as double clicking the bottom right corner of the selection.
The problem is that the two source cells can be anywhere in the sheet, and autofill range isn't fixed. Essentially, I just want a keyboard shortcut for Excel's own Autofill function.
I want this macro to be rid of the mouse when I'm working on excel (it really slows me down to use the mouse every time I want to autofill).

I want a macro, to compare these two cells and arrange the data accordingly. If both the values are the same, then both the lines corresponding to the values can remain in the same row. If one value is greater that other, then the set of values which have the lower dollar value should come to the next row. I have attachec the sample data. The lines highlighted in green is the raw data and the one in yellow is the finished data.

Pasting Font Color From Conditional Format To Permanent
Jun 27, 2008I have backwards co-workers that can't figure out how/why to use conditional formatting and have deigned it "not acceptable".
They've requested I fill in a HUGE spreadsheet and change the font color to red if it meets a criteria.
Simple enough to do with a conditional format that compares my data.
HOWEVER, now I need the individual cells to stay red and remove the conditional format (because conditional formatting "confuses" them). Removing the condition causes the color to go back to black. I've tried all sorts of paste specials (formula/format) to no avail...
Change Calculations To Automatic On Permanent Basis In 2000
Mar 31, 2007I'm using excel 2000 and I just noticed something and am unsure how to change. I guess early on my building of a workbook I accidentally left calculation to manual. I would like to change calculations to automatic on permanent basis. I keep changing it and it changes back to manual after I close then reopen the workbook. I would prefer to change permanently to automatic....Any ideas would be a bonus. On all new workbooks I can save in automatic but I cannot change from manual to automatic.

Sort Independent Weighted Moving Average
Dec 2, 2012The following code works fine if the data is sorted from oldest to newest. I need for it to work when the data is sorted from newest to oldest. For this to work, I would need a change that works something like this: "total1 = total1 + close_(a, 1) * a" would be "total1 = total1 + close_(a, 1) * b" with "b" incremented in the opposite direction of "a". I code very infrequently & have tried a lot of different things, searched the Internet, etc. all to no avail.
For instance, with "close" data in column "I", the data sorted as follows works with the formula
"=WMA(OFFSET(I2,0,0,9,1) )" to correctly return "791.50", but the opposite sort returns the wrong number.
The correct calculation is: (807.19*9+798.38*8+793.81*7+793.06*6+776.28*5+769.48*4+773.2*3+789.01*2+793.87*1)/(9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1).

Return Sum Of Array Within Matrix Based On Independent Value?
Mar 8, 2013I'm trying to write a formula that will return the sum of multiple cells within a larger matrix, based on a number that is manually inputted into a separate table. As you can see in the top below, I have data that is grouped by both "Zone" and by individual "Stations". The Zones/Stations on the y-axis are "Start" points, while the Zones/Stations on the x-axis are "Finish" points. What I'd like to be able to do is input a Zone ID number into the bottom table (Shown as "1" below) and have the formula either return the greatest sum of "Finish" numbers. In this example, the greatest sum is 12, which is all numbers going from Station 1 and 2 in Zone 1 to Stations 1/2 in Zone 2 (3+2+4+3). In the bottom table, you'll see the "Greatest Finish" as "2", which is Zone 2. And the total from this sum is 12, as described previously. If there is a way to return either the "Total #" or "Greatest Finish" zone.
The actual matrix I am working with is much larger (150x150), and not all zones have the same amount of stations. I'm assuming this might complicate things a bit.
Finish
Zone 1
Zone 1
Zone 2

Compile Error After Editing VBA So Graphs Are Independent Of The Worksheet
Jun 3, 2009From every sheet I want to create the same type of graph, so a macro could be very useful.
First I recorded a macro. The worked fine, but it could only be used by only one worksheet. Every time I used the macro it returned to the original worksheet where I created the macro.
With some searching I found out how to change the code so that the macro could be used for the active sheet.
But now I get stuck with the following error: "compile error: invalid qualification" (translated from Dutch).
With error tracking I get stuck at the first line "Sub grafiek()"
