I've got a bunch of formulas that often are trying to divide by zero, hence this error in the cell. Is there an easy way to modify the forumla or format so that if a division by zero is attempted, the cell can show a zero instead of this error?
View 4 RepliesFrom a database I import to Excel a large table of mostly name codes. One of the codes is SEP01 for "Separator Type 1", but Excel thinks it is a date code and writes Sep-01 and stores the number 37135. Oother types are like NovaZeck-08, abbreviated NOV08 and you can imagine how Excel interprets that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that performs an operation on all Excel files in a given folder. The only problem I had was I couldn't walk away until it was done because the files themselves had macros that gave me a Yes/No prompt to recalculate.
I already have a calculate command in my macro so how can I override this command without physically selecting and clicking "No" with my mouse and without editing the macros that are already in the files (each unique and embedded in the individual worksheets). I cant edit each file because there are close to 300 of them.
looking for a formula to paste value without overriding another value. For example in my case, I want to replace the value in G column (highlighted in red) by the value from J column (cells that on the same row as the values highlighted in red). For those values in B column that originally start with M180, i want it to be untouched. Right now I dont know what formula should i use.
U can see the attachment for reference.
I would like to copy a worksheet that is password protected. When I copy the whole sheet it says, cannot change part of a merged cell and nothing is copied.
Is there a way to override password protection without knowing the password?
I am developing a VBA for Excel application which uses transient worksheets to collect data from users before writing the data back to master spreadsheets.
My application opens an instance of excel with a workbook and worksheet using the following code:
Dim xlsInstance As Object
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set xlsInstance = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wkb = xlsInstance.Workbooks.Add
wkb.Activate
Set wks = wbk.Worksheets.Add
wks.Activate
I can reference various ranges in the worksheet and do most of what I need but I need to override the Worksheet_Change method. Easily done for static sheets, but this must be set at runtime when the worksheet is created.
Is there a way to set up a macro hotkey from within VBA so that I can override a built-in "Ctr+" option (like Ctr+C, Ctr+U, Ctr+Z)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedCurrently I have used all 3 conditional formats to colour certain cells.
1) Colour whole row 'green' when 'complete' colum ="Y"
2) Colour todays date column black in the date table to easily define todays activities.
3) By entering start and end dates that contractors are required, I colour these selected dates in blue with a letter 'x' in the calendar area.
This can easily be seen from the sample sheet above. If you can adapt this for yourselves carry on.
I am also using a macro (found in these forums) to automatically change the colour of the contractors tab to certain colours when selected from the drop down selection box (enabling more than just 3 conditional formats)
What I would like to happen though, is that when item 3 above is performed (select a start and end date) the filled blocks, colour the same as the contractor colour, instead of the blue with the 'x'.
i am working on a spreadsheet that is doing two things 1) its allowing the user to choose between 1 to 3 number or N/A from the list validation option and 2) there is a checkbox if one selects that all the columns that have the formula will become N/A irrespect of data in it. I am using the following formula in the list validation option a3 is the check boc.
E5 =1
E6= 2
E7 = 3
E8=N/A
=if(a3=true, $E$8, $E$5:$E$8)
The issue I am having with this is, if I start selecting something from the drop down and half way I realize I need to check the box, it will only make it E8 value for the cells I have not touched and the ones I have already selected the drop down value it will remain. However I want it to override the value to E8 irrespect.
1) If the user of the spreadsheet clicks on the check box (this is in A3 cell) which i have linked it using format control then all the cell (Column E) that have the formula =if(A3=True, "N/A", ) will have N/A which is not applicable and not an error as you mentioned. I have successfully implemented this
2) If the user does not select the check box (a3) then each of the cell (Column E) has a drop down which the user can select either 1,2,3 or N/A. Which I have successfully implemented by using the data validations. Now the struggle I am having is as follows: I have attached the spreadsheet for your reference too.
Now if I select number 2 in cell E10, 2 in cell E11 and 3 in cell E 13 and you can see alll the other cell in column E are 0, because of the formula and the box in A3 is not checked in Tab 1. In Tab 2 I have checked the box everything turned N/A in column E except cells E10, E11 and E13 because I had previously selected 2,2,3 respectively. This is not what I want, what I want is when I check that box everything should turn to N/A basically an override function is what I want to created.
For example. Dragging c7 to e5.
My range before dragging and dropping...
After the drop.
What do you think? I think it can be done but do not want to waste time going about it the wrong way. Please give me any ideas on how you would approach this problem.
Some information to start with. The modal dialog that pops up can be dealt with.
This one.
I can determine if I want to insert down or up. I am not concerned with shifting left or right at this point.
I can also determine the original address and destination address of the drag and drop operation by using the change event.
The ranges being dragged will be limited to a single cell.
I am using some Pivot charts, but I want to override what legends calls particular lines. Is there any way to control what legend says?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I need a macro to reference another cell in the sheet if the cell is left blank. If the user wants to edit the value, they have the option to manually input a value but if they decide to leave it blank, it autopopulates the referenced cell.

I am using a combination of validation, vlookup and simple formulas to lay out a workorder. If I leave something blank in one of the feilds then everything that comes after say #n/a and won't allow the calculation to complete.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with data tabs (one shown here) and a summary tab. Essentially, one inputs hours for people in the Data tab (Tech) that are then calculated/summed to total $ based on rates I have hidden elsewhere in the workbook (not included). I'm trying to bring the subtotal lines (highlighted green) into the Summary tab based on which subtotal and what month/year it is. My formula works fine, except for the fact that it is returning a #Value! due to the "Hrs" heading for each Phase. I don't know why it's doing this because I've not run into sum array issues when mixing numbers and letters before. The error formula is highlighted in yellow in my attached sample, but below is a copy of the formula.

My intension is that if A=1 and I=DM and K=bid then add the corresponding values in L and display. I can't figure out why this formula in another cell and works fine
=SUM(IF(Input!$A$6:$A$4006>0,IF(Input!$A$6:$A$4006<1,IF(Input!$I$6:$I$4006="DM",IF(Input!$K$6:$K$400 6="Bid",Input!$L$6:$L$4006,0),0),0),0))
it is just checking an additional condition of the value in column A
I am using a SUM function with multiple conditions as an array formula.

I've been using some code I wrote at the start of March to open some files that I've created earlier in the day in order to add to them.
The code worked fine until the month changed. Here is the code I have to open the file I need.

ChDir "C:DesktopTodays ReportsReports " & strdate & ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\DesktopTodays ReportsReports " & strdate & "Date Report " & strdate & ".xls"

I am at a loss as to why the code doesn't wok as nothing chaged between March 31st and April 1st.
Having a strange problem with vLOOKUP. Please see the attached file. The result is in cell M1 of the sheet (Link to the file below).
Vlookup works fine if the data is entered manually in cell H1, but with the formula it errors up .how i could make this work with the formula?
Sub indX()
For rwindex = 1 To 4
For collindex = 1 To 10
With Worksheets("sheet1"). cell(rwindex.collndex)
If Value < 0.001 Then .Value = 0
endwith
Next collndex
Next rw
End Sub
I have a code here and i have to spot what the errors are.
I know there is an error with 'endwith' but not sure what to do to fix it
What i'm looking to do is input a VBA command to comb the activesheet (which contains approximately 1400 rows, and 32 columns of mixed data and formulas), and determine if the text value "#N/A" appears anywhere on the sheet. If it occurs one or more times, i want it to set a boolean flag to true.
I know of ways to do so by setting a = countif(A:AG,"#N/A") formula in a cell, but unfortunately this is not my solution here, as it needs to be done before the formula is converted to text. A countif does not show a visible value of #N/A if its true value is a formula.
When I run a report, for some reason our system imports certain numbers which have errors, as a consequence when I try and do a pivot table I get a lot of returns showing #div/o!. If you look at the spreadsheet the errors start on line 103 sheet 2 and finish on 2631. Sometime the report can be huge and takes a while to go through these manually to convert to numbers.

I am brand new (Day 1) to VBA programming and I am running into an issue when trying to activate a sheet based on the value chosen in my userForm that I cannot seem to solve. The error seems to be a compile error and says I am missing and End statement to one of my If Then statements, specifically:
Compile error: End If without block If
I thought if the If Then statement was all on one line that I would not need an End If statement. In fact, if I try to add an End If statement, I get an error (all proceeding text turns red).
This is the part of the code with the End If error.

I have developed a process design application in Excel using User Forms to input data. The data are placed on a sheet of a workbook with the majority of the calculations being done by cell-to-cell calculations so that users can view the formulas if they so desire. This application works well in English. We want to use the same application in our German office where it has not worked well.
In order to trouble shoot the problems, I can go to the Region and Language setting under Control Panel and set it to German (Germany). This converts the number format to a period for the thousands separator and a comma for the decimal. This seems to create a lot of problems for VBA that I have not been able to sort out.
To simplify the problem I have written a very simple program. It has one User Form with two text boxes for number input, an Enter command button and a Close command button. Sheet 1 has a command button that opens the User Form. In the User Form, I enter a number in both text boxes and click Enter. VBA code then enters the number from Text Box 1 in Cell A1 and the number from Text Box 2 in Cell A2. Cell A3 has an equation that calculates the sum of A1 and A2. All cells are formatted as General.
The workbook works as expected in English. When I set my PC to German (Germany) the application works as expected when I enter an integer in the text boxes. However, if I enter a decimal such as, in the German format, 10,5 and 5,5, the numbers entered into the spreadsheet are text (left justified) and the sum is zero. I have to enter 10.5 and 5.5 to get the numbers to enter as actual numbers and give the correct sum.
How to make VBA work with the German settings?
