I want to prevent other users when pasting data, to overwrite the formatting of the destination cell.
Since, it is a shared file, i don't want to bother the people explaining use paste special.
I want this to happen automatically.
I don't know VB, and I tried copying what I found in the internet for similar codes, and none have worked. I only copied as they said either in Thisworkbook, and this is all I can do.
I need very easily explained if there is something more than just copying the code in VB view.
Is there a way to set the Paste options in Excel to default to "Match Destination Formatting"? Currently the program defaults to "Keep Source Formatting". It would be extremely helpful for the work I am doing to have the default be "Match Destination Formatting" instead. I thought there might be a way to set this under "Tools, Options, Edit," but there is nothing. I am using Excel 2003
I have two workbooks. I am copying cells data from one workbook A to workbook B with macro - pretty easy. Now, after selecting and copying cell data in workbook A and switching to workbook B I want to be able to pause the macro and wait for the user to chose a correct cell where he/she wants to paste the data. After the selection the macro would automatically paste the data in selected cell. Since I am completely newbie any help would be appreciated. Here is the macro I have so far :
Sub CopyVIN() ' ' CopyVIN Macro ' Macro recorded 5/26/2009 by Pacific Coachworks ' Sheets("Sheet1").Select Range("G9:R9").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("For copying VIN").Select Range("A1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Range("A1").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Windows("Cami's Production Schedule.xls").Activate ' Here I'd like to have a code for waiting for a user selection and pasting the data automaticlly.
I am writting code that copys a range and then pastes the values back over the same range, which gets rid of the functions in the cells. I am doing this for multiple sheets. When the code pastes the copied selection back over the same range the code is interrupted by a message box that asks me wether I want to replace the contents of the destination cells or not. I do, how do I get my code to answer yes to this message box?
I have browsed for two days looking for material on effecting this. The technique quoted most is watch for undolist for paste & auto fill then undo the change and paste the value again with specific formatting needs. This technique can be implemented in a worksheet_change event handler. The problem that I am facing is that the user can copy and past while my VBA is running. Once it is caught inside my own application class object event handler all that undo stack is already cleared. Therefore I have nothing that tells me if the user has entered the value via a paste action. By the time the value is pasted, all that formatting would have been entered. For example, a value that is interpreted by another workbook as DATE will have my destination formatting changed to DATE as well even though it is designed to be TEXT at design time.
So far I have not been able to think of a scheme to deal with this.
My basic intention is to always ensure the destination cell formatting remains as TEXT. If something is already interpreted as DATE after the paste even if I can convert to TEXT the string will appear totally differently. I have to find a way to paste the whole thing as TEXT in order to keep the string the same. The problem is that there is no intrinsic PASTE event in VBA. Without a method to undo that paste I cannot catch this at all.
i am writing a custom copy/paste routine which will paste data from a selection if the cell being pasted to is not locked.
The user will select the text for coping and then launch the routine.
The routine will query for destination cell and then process the paste.
This is my routine so far:
Sub testCopy()
Dim c As Range Dim MyRange As Range Dim Dest As Range
Set MyRange = Selection Set Dest = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select a cell", _ Title:="Paste Destination", Type:=8)
For Each c In MyRange If Dest.Locked = False Then Dest.Value = c.Value End If 'dest = ? Next c End Sub
What I need to know is how to increment the dest reference so it is in the same 'relative' position from the initial dest that c (from the selection) is in or is there a better way to do this?
I'm creating a Macro to paste a series of formulas from a template in hidden rows above to cells further down in the same worksheet. My code works fine if I set an absolute range as the Destination - here's a portion of it:
Sub TimelineRow150() Dim TimelineMatch As Integer, ProjectPlan As Object TimelineMatch = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value If TimelineMatch = 26 Then Range("E26:AQ28").Select
[Code]....
I'd like to be able to copy and paste this code to run it multiple times in the same worksheet, (the TimelineMatch variable actually has 26 different options). Is there a way to replace the [Range("E150:AQ152").Select] portion of the code with a range that is relative to the Active Cell? (I'd instruct users that cell E be the Active cell before running the Macro, and E to AQ is still the range I need the copied data to appear.) I've tried using ActiveCell.Offset, but I keep getting an error of Method 'Range of Object' _Global' failed.
For a Datastream request table, I need to set up a Data Destination in a blank worksheet. Instead of rows, I need columns with headers. For the rows I can drag-down the cells, but Excel doesn't seem to get the row drag-down:
For rows:
Sheet1'!$A$1 Sheet1'!$A$2
"select & drag-down"
Sheet1'!$A$3 Sheet1'!$A$4 Sheet1'!$A$5 etc.
But if I want to use columns I get this:
Sheet1'!$A$1 Sheet1'!$B$1
"drag-down"
Sheet1'!$A$2 Sheet1'!$B$2
instead of Sheet1'!$C$1 Sheet1'!$D$1 Sheet1'!$E$1 etc.
It doesn't get that I want to use columns, not rows again.
I have extracted data from multiple sheets and now want to mark this data as "Paid" and for the macro to go back and change the value in the original sheet on a row in column "AR" to "PAID. All the columns have the same data type in.
The extracted data contains the original sheet name and each row has a unique ID No to it.
I know I probably need to use INDEX and MATCH and then Offset to post value.
I'm currently working on a problem that I'm having with Hyperlinks. Basically I want to copy the destination data that the hyperlink points to onto another sheet.
The main problem I'm having here is that I cant seem to find a suitable method to do this....I had the idea of using the hyperlink.follow function and then copying the data once I'm there and then moving back to the source hyperlink. My only problem with that is that I dont know how to find the cell address that the hyperlink is in, once I have found that hyperlink.
Therefore my question is two-fold:
- Is there a way to copy the destination data using some sort of hyperlink function? - If not, is there a way to find the cell address within a worksheet, once a hyperlink is found on that worksheet?
I've attached the spreadsheet below to give a better idea of what Im doing, along with the "findHyperlinks" macro,within that workbook, that I am currently working on.
I think I am closer but how do I get all of the data from A2 in the origination worksheet and then copy it to the last blank cell in column A in the destination sheet?
Code:
Sub test4() Dim lastrow As Long Set StartSheet = ActiveSheet 'MFG PART NUMBER StartSheet.Range("R2").Copy Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\_DoxaMobiusServtrax Import Template"
Function wbIsopen(wbname As String) As Boolean On Error Resume Next WbIsOpen - (workbooks(wbname).Name = wbname) End Function
[Code]...
This is also my first shot at using a DIM and Set. I am attempting to move the data from 1 workbook sheet to another after it has been sorted. But if i only have the source open i want it to open the destination workbook and sheet then paste and close the source sheet. If the source is open I want it to go to the next command.
I have some data for international dialed numbers, I need to translate this into a country or destination name.
for example if the dialled number begins with 001, the is the united states etc.. I have all of the required codes, but they all differ in length. ie 0033 is spain but 003356 is a spain mobile.
I was thinking that i could use VLOOKUP to find the relevant text to display, but this does not work with the varying lengths of the codes.
I am trying to make each Cell in a range of cells to change its color from Black to one of a few colors. This should happen when the value of the Cell matches one of a few possibilities. The problem begins when I want the value of Sheet1 Cell A1 to come from Sheet2 Cell B1. When I change the value in Sheet2 Cell B1 the format of Sheet1 A1 changes only when I click on that Cell. How can I make it change immediately when I paste my values in Sheet2? Here is the code I am using on Sheet1:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim icolor As Integer If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then Select Case Target Case "one" icolor = 1 Case "two" icolor = 2 Case "three" icolor = 3 Case "four" icolor = 4 Case "five".......................
I have a spreadsheet of donations and the dates on which they were made. I input the dates like so: 1/2/2009, and then I format the cells so they appear like this: January 2, 2009. When I use this date in for MS Word "mail merge" functions, the date shows up in its unformatted formula bar form: 1/2/2009. I would prefer that it show up like January 2, 2009.
My question is this: is there any way I can change the cell formula bar to read like the formatted version rather than the non-formatted version? I want the formula bar to read "January 2, 2009" instead of "1/2/2009". Obviously I could type each date manually into the formula bar, but I'm looking for a quick copy/paste solution since there are hundreds of cells. I've messed around with "paste special" options to no avail.
I dont know the correct terminology with whick to phrase my question, but I would like to know if its possible to copy say columns A-J on "worksheet A", and copy columns A-J on "worksheet B", each of which have different column widths, and paste them both to "worksheet C"?
My problem is columns A-J on "worksheet A" are perfect and copy and past fine to "worksheet C". But when I copy columns A-J from "worksheet B",which have different widths, and paste them to "worksheet C" right below what I had previously pasted from "worksheet A", the column widths interfere with each other.
I have tried a special paste, and it seems to re format everything above the current page its pasting?
I am trying to figure out how to copy and paste conditional formatting.
1371908# on hand 16458 ACNF18051 208 ACNF18061 104 ACNF30081 208 1371908 Total416104
1371911# on hand 7053 ACNF18051 208 ACNF18061 104 ACNF30081 208 1371911 Total416104
for instance in the above.. I want to black out any number in the "total" (bold) row that is less than the On Hand Qty (bold and underlined number) and I want to use a running total. For instance for part 1371911 with an On Hand Qty of 7053, the on hand is larger than the the first total of 416 so 416 should be blacked out, it is also larger than 416+104 so 104 should be blacked out as well.
This will continue until the on hand qty is less than the running total. I can conditionally format this one at a time and it could take forever as there are 3000+ lines of spreadsheet. If there is any way that you can tell me how to set the condtional format for one row and then cpy and paste it thoughout the sheet where needed.
i have an equation in A1, and i use conditional formatting for this cell, if the value of C1 is less than 1000, the result in A1 is red
i want to copy the result and the color of A1 to D1, i use paste value, the value and the color are then copied to D1 at first. but when i modify C1, the color of D1 also changed.
I would like to use the following line to calculate the formula, In the format i have already specified.
But to leave the values in the cells apposed to the formula.
This way when i delete the source sheets the results will still be left as values not formulas.
It can probably be done in 3 lines but i have to do this for 9 different rows so was wondering if there is a way of combining the three tasks into one row
I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?
Is there any way users can cut and paste while keeping the Conditional Formatting of the source cells intact? It is the same as copy-paste and then delete the source cell contents after copying.
I am importing a data table from Excel into word. All works well except for the first column of my data, which contains numbers formatted as currency. I am using a bunch of loops to transfer the data into word, and for each cell the code looks like this:
[Code]....
Is there a way to tweak the code and preserve the formatting when I am importing numbers into word?
I tried the following code but it gives me type mismatch error:
I'm trying to figure out how to copy & paste the following conditional formatting down the column.
The conditional formatting I'm using is in cell A1, D1, G1, J1, M1 (so I have to Ctrl click each cell manually & I then choose to "format the values that rank in the:" "bottom 1" & format it green.
I want to copy and paste that all the way down column A, D, G, J, & M and have the conditial formatting pick for each row, not the whole column. eg. A2, D2, G2, J2, M2... A3, D3, G3, J3, M3...
I have the following code from a form. It works just fine copying named ranges from one sheet to another. The probloem now is that I don't want to copy the characteristic of the formating or whether they are protected or not. The originating spreadsheets have cells that are protected. I am trying to copy those values over to the new sheet and paste their values or formulas but not their formatting (background color) or the fact that some of the cells are 'locked'. I want the new sheet to have the values and formulas but not the be lock for the user. Is this possible with the current way I do the code or do I have to rewrite it? How would you approach this?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Import_Data_Form.Hide
Run "NPA"
Set b = Selection ad = b.Address
' Local Variables Dim wkbDataFile As Workbook
' Let user select source datafile Call UserSelectFile_WOpen(wkbDataFile) If wkbDataFile Is Nothing Then MsgBox "User did not select a workbook to open" Exit Sub End If
Application. ScreenUpdating = False Set wb = ThisWorkbook
I need to apply conditional formats a certain range e.g. I8:I1000. Every time my spreadsheet is loaded with new data, the previous cf are erased, and I have to start all over again.
I am having a problem with a excel spreadsheet. There are no formulas or anything, just text that I used excel to get everything lined up. I haven't had any issues before, I was copying and pasting within a document. It was all text with different row heights set. I ran into a problem now where the text copies and pastes fine but the row heights aren't coping into the cells I am pasting into, just the text. What do I have to do so they will copy? I don't want to have to go an individually adjust each cell.
