View 5 RepliesCells in Columns A & B (57 rows deep) have a real time data feed and can have values of blank, "H", or "R". The H and R can remain in the cell for any length of time. I would like to have an audible ding go off whenever a new H or R appears in columns A or B. Is there a cell formula that can do this? I think a macro solution would not work, because the workbook has a macro that activates every 10 seconds, so I assume a macro solution would interfere if both macros happen to activate at the same time.

I'm looking to return the values in column A adjacent to the cells in Column B equal to "Y". The kicker has been returning only the cells where the condition is true. Column C displays the desired behavior.
The closest I've been able to get is with a simple IF statement but I'm pretty sure the answer is a far cry away from there and likely requires an array formula. I'd prefer not to use VLOOKUP or OFFSET but will if the alternative is very complex.
I need cell (O4) to display days overdue or days remaining on an assigned task based on subtracting due date (M4) from todays date, but only perform days subtraction function if (M4) is not blank and only if task complete cell (N4) is less than 100.
Have the conditional blank cell figured out, but nesting another condition for the less than 100 complete cell. So in other words, I don't want cell (O4) to subtract days and display any error, irrelevant data if there is not any due date entered or the task is entered as complete...
I have a row of values TRUE and FALSE from a IF statement..
If one or more are true can i get a notification to come up saying
"Rents are Due" Press ok to continue..
Below is the data layout. I want to join values in value column if Condition is true. SO, for below situation answer should come ACE.
TRUE
A
FALSE
B
TRUE
C
FALSE
D
True

I want to perform a SUMIF if more than 1 condition is true. I can do a regular SUMIF if, for example, values in column A is > than 10,000, then SUM associated values in column F.
However, what if I want a SUMIF if values in column A is > 10,000, values in column B = “Yankees”, then SUM associated values in column F.
I have following excel sheet.
IF condition is true then popup message window with Remark of corresponding columns.
Example : if during market time if Google current price fall below 295 then message window will appear SELL : Day support is break.
===============================================================================
Script--------------Current Price--------------Trigger Price---------------------Remark
===============================================================================
Axis Bank--------------500----------------------502-----------------------Buy : Resistance Break
Google-----------------300---------------------295-----------------------Sell : Day Support Break
HCL--------------------850---------------------865-----------------------Buy : First Sunrise Confirm
INFY------------------3215--------------------3150-----------------------Sell : Weekly Support Break
Current Price will keep moving up / down in live market
if current price > Triger price then popup window should come with BUY & Remark of that row
if current price < Triger price then popup window should come with SELL & remark of that row
Is it possible to have excel continually check if a columns used row count in a particular column is greater than a number before moving on to the next part of code?
The reason I'm doing this is because one formula will pull in data from bloomberg which can take some time (5 seconds or so).
Some other code that places formulas into other adjacent columns depends on the number of rows in the first column. So the code following the data pull wil fail if the above hasn't finished pulling yet.
I was thinking about doing something like a do nothing until true?
Here's what I have that is not working:
Do Until Range("A1:A6").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count > 5 Range("F1").Select
Loop
I expect that the number of used rows in column A should be greater than 5 once data is pulled. In this case I just had VBA select F1 until the count was greater than 5 before moving on. but I think it's interfering with the pull and will coninue to loop..
I'm looking for some help. I need a function that can check if each of two seperate values is less than one. If less than one then divide by 2. Then give me the average of these two values. So it could be that it takes 0.5/2=0.25 for one value and 3 for another to give me the average of 1.625.
I have two formulas that I have worked out to deliver the results independently. I would like to join them together into one formula and add an If condition that if the two match then add a "+" to the end of the string.
#1 finds the base value :
=IF(ISERR(FIND("/",I2)),I2,LEFT(I2,FIND("/",I2,FIND("/",I2)-1)-1))
#2 verifies the value is a valid color:
=INDEX(M1:M41,MATCH(J2,M1:M41,0),1)
I would like to join the two formulas together and if they match then add a space, " " and a "+" to the end of the string. If there is no match then return the base value.
In E5, put "INSERT". In G5, put the formula
=E5="INSERT"
Should I be getting TRUE as the result? I'm getting FALSE. Is something wrong or am I going mad...
I need to copy the row data from sheet1, if the DEPT is HR and paste the same into sheet 2.
Qus:

I need to copy the data form Cell "C" to Cell "D" only if Cell "D" is empty
i have been using the following code but it will overwrite cell "D" regardless if data is present or not.
I have "borrowed" the below code from a previous solved post, however am unsure how to adapt it.

I need a formula or script to Vlookup a value for me from another sheet if depending on the date.
If the Today date is > then the Date mentioned in Cell A1+15 days i want A2 till A167 to run a formula that would lookup a certain value in another sheet and replace the current value in A2 till A167
For example
A1= August
A2 = 20
A3 = 40 ......
I want when im in 15 August a formula that will replace the foretasted quantity 20 with the real quantity found in sheet 2. If I am not 1 August i don't want the formula to run.
if there's a macro that can be run to check one worksheet. In this worksheet there is a column where the value should be "true". If this value is true, I'd like to copy the entire row of data into another worksheet.
There can be multiple rows of data where this condition is met.
I would like to know if there is a way to change the font type in a cell, if a condition is true in another cell. e.g font in cell C3 is Arial Rounded MT Bold and if condition is true in cell F3 then font is changed to Arial Narrow.

I am an avid greyhound racing fanatic and I would like excel to sound an alarm when a race is due. I have entered all the race times down one column A1-A146 in this format 08:33, 08:37 etc
Is there a way to get excel to use the system clock and check these times and sound an alarm 1 minute before the the time I have entered, i.e. 08:32, 08:37 as in the above examples?
I have the following sub for me to play sound files:
[Code] .....
Essentially what i want to do is play one sound file, then immediately play another. I am using two subs so that can be achieved as when I was using one sub the first sound didn't play as it was immediately replaced by the second sound.
The lines of code where I call my sounds are:
[Code] .....
I thought the addition of:
[Code] .....
Would allow the first sound to play, before then playing the second sound, however this doesn't seem to be the case and the second sound doesn't play at all.
i have a sheet where there are 2 columns of tick boxes for good/bad input. ive been able to borrow some code that saves the sheet at a date name and based on the fact that if there is one bad tick in the bad column i would like a wav file to play showing this. likewise if there are no bad ticks then a good wav file is played instead. here is my lame code that calls to modules with the actual wav play instrucions in them, named playsound1 and playsound2 :-
Private Sub worksheet_calculate()
If [A22] > 10 Then
MsgBox "Vehicle Log Saved"
Call SaveAsTodaysDate
'End If
'if =sum[d6:d16] > 1 call soundplay1 else call soundplay2
'If Range("d6:d16").Value > 1 Then
'MsgBox "your gonna crash!"
'Call SoundPlay1 Else Call SoundPlay2
End If
End Sub
is there anyway of playing a sound once a user opens my excel file???

I intend to use the list in a combo box elsewhere in the workbook......it's all to stop inquisitive little users accidently changing data and whining that thier figures are misteriously wrong.....
I have a formula which lookups the sunset for a particular date.
Code:
sunset = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(tempws.Range("A9"), sun, 2, False
It returns a value in numeric format (eg. .8493055555555556).
I then compare it to a time vale in one of my userform textboxes.
Code:
If rental_end.Value > sunset Then
rental_end.value ="5:00 pm"
I have a suspicion that the tow different formats cannot provide accurate results in the If statement, and causing the result of the If statement to always be true, even when it should be false.
If this is indeed the case, how would one go about adjusting this code to provide proper comparison in the If statement?
I have an automated sort descend happening all day. The top several cells are coloured green and if a cell jumps to the top from below the green cells, I would love a warning sound. Is is possible to activate a sound if a cell changes from a colour to a non colour. Preferably if any of the cells within a range of say F2: F6 changes from green to a non colour.
If it is not possible to have a change of colour to activate the macro, I could get around it by - if any cells in a range of H2:H5 >than 1 it plays a sound.
