before i run my macro, i would like a msg box that appears that says "please wait, this may take a while". I've tried using the msgbox function but unless the user presses the "OK" button on it, the macro won't run....
any suggestions on how i can have a userform/msgbox appear while the macro is working in the background (without the user having to press "ok")
I have an excel document that looks all nice and pretty except for the little white grids all over it with unused cells. Is there anyway to hide the lines? i dont care that the cells are there just the lines make the form look kinda crappy.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI run a football sweepstake involving 120 people. Each week everyone picks a premiership team who they think is going to win. If that team loses or draws they are out. This carries on until there is one person left and they win the money. I need to make a table with all the premiership teams and names down the x and y axis. When the team is marked as "lose" everyone who has chosen that team gets deleted.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I click a cell (say A1) I want a specific message to appear in another cell (say B1); when I click A2, a different message should appear in B1 (basically B1 will be my display zone). The reasons I need it as such are that the sheet is a calendar and so putting all of the messages in would look ridiculous, and I really need a static position (B1) for the messages.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know if I can make an error message invisible or maybe have the text white so you can't see it. For example, Iam using the vlookup formula which works fine when it is reading right. But when there is no info in the cell I'm looking up I get a #N/A. So I would like to have this sheet set up so that when you enter someone's name it gives you address, cell, etc.... But if no name is entered, instead of showing #N/A in all the cells.....I would like it to just look like an empty cell. I'm thinking I can use conditioning formatting so that if there is an error message then the text color is white. Can't quite get it to work.

One of my workbooks won't allow me to use the VBE variable types (VBProject, VBComponent, etc.) They aren't on the popup list that appears when I type " as ". If I just type in "VBProject", I get a compile error "User-defined type not defined". I have to define the variable as object, and the macro still works. I do not have this problem in any other workbook.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a macro that can make cells with no data in them disappear or not be displayed?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn recent weeks, when I've been asked to demonstrate excel applications which make use of buttons, I've found that on some machines the buttons will variably display as flat grey rectangles with no label, or boxes with red 'x's, or alternatively not appear at all. There seems to be no pattern since the variations have all happened on single machines, then not at all on similar machines.
So far it has only been company laptops (not my own machine), hooked up to overhead projectors which end up with this problem. I can't think of anything I would have done manually to disable the buttons from appearing.
Is this a known issue, or is this simply down to the user preferences and/or security settings?
Why after the first loop (Z=2) all of a sudden column A in WS ATT disappears. Worth adding that column M in WS L is a "dynamic" range (at first it contains 7 cells) in the sense that it shrinks with each loop (M2:M8, second loop: M2:M7 etc.).

I have a worksheet (in a workbook with many worksheets) where some of the cells display the formula I put in after I leave the cell. I've made sure that the cell format is General before I type anything in the cell. I've inserted new rows, above where the problem is and have tried going to another cell in a different part of the work sheet but I have the same problem. I use the same formulas in two other worksheets. The formulas include other worksheets in them. example =IF(PlotMaster!B2="","",PlotMaster!B2). I can't figure out what is going on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've created some code so that when users want to update something on and Excel template I'm creating for them that the information they've put in is backed up. They give the backup a name using an inputbox and it loops through previously loaded backups that I've stored in a separate sheet and checks if the backup already exists. If it does a msgbox appears to ask them if they want to replace the existing copy. If they choose not to, it re-opens the inputbox.
The issue I'm having is that the msgbox doesn't close before the input box opens and it looks messy and may be confusing. Is there any way, without creating a useform, that I can force the msgbox to close once the user has made a choice before the inputbox opens?
Here is the code:
Code:
1
BackName = InputBox("Give the backup a name", "Backup Name")
If BackName = "" Then GoTo 2
For i = 1 To LR1
If UCase(Sheet18.Cells(i, 1).Value) = UCase(BackName) Then
If MsgBox("Backup already exists. Replace?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then

I created a macro that prints a label from a userform. The macro used to reside on an XP platform and performed without issues. IT decided they wanted to upgrade the machine to a Windows 7 platform. Now when the userform prints a small window pops up that looks like a print preview of the label, however it is transparent and has a window caption of 'Precut Label' as identified in the userform design. I am including a screenshot of the pop-up. The unusual thing about this is the window cannot be closed, moved or selected in any way shape or form. The only way to get it to close is to view the userform object in the vba editor. The line of code that triggers the print sequence as well as cause the pop-up is: frmLabel.PrintForm. This line of code is housed in the sheet1 object.

I sometimes import data in the copy-paste way from completely different sources, eg. a program on the web or whatever, which has arranged the data in a table.
It is often succesful with the data neatly arranged in the spreadsheet in columns and rows and all, but sometimes the gridlines disappear even though 'cell format' is set to 'none' in 'grid lines' and the settings have a mark for 'visible grid lines' and their color is 'automatic'. Only the imported area misses the gridlines.
It is of course possible to set some grey gridlines manually in cell format, but then I get them on the print also and I don't want that.
creating a template for people. In the template, I want to create cells which instruct the user on what need to be filled in that cell.
For eg. go to [URL] In the box, it says 'Enter word or phrase'. When you click to enter a word, this line vanishes. I want to create a similar thing in Excel.
In Excel, for eg, in a cell it should say 'Enter Name' and when the user enter his name, this instruction should vanish. Also, this instruction should be in GREY and when they user enters his name it should be BOLD BLUE.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a file sheet named "ratio summary." The data to this is linked to a number of different working sheets (not in the attachment for obvious reasons)
Currently the data in the ratio summary is grouped by year but "open" and the Graph worksheet is automatically linked to the data in row11.
However when I group the data by year (i.e. clicking the "-" figure) the graph also changes.
I haven't deleted the data so don't understand why the graph data is changing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to do a routine in VBA on excel 2007 that makes the following:
1- When the mouse is over a cell it pops-up a window that shows a picture;
2- When the pointer is removed from the cell the window that contains the picture closes;
It is very important that the picture that is shown be adressed by a relative path from the folder in which is the excel file.
The pictures can change; this is the reason that the picture should be addressed by a path.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.
I need to figure a way to make to cells with dates equal each other if the
