Refresh All Cells In Column After Changing Formatting?
Feb 26, 2013
I've been given some data and the date column is formatted as 'general'. If I amend it to the date format I prefer and click ok nothing changes. If I then click in the cell and press enter it changes the format to what I want. Is there anyway of refreshing all the cells so the format change takes effect?
I can achieve what i'm after by using find and replace to change '2012' to '2012' and '2013' to '2013' but i'd be interested to know whether there is a more recognised solution?

I have figure A1 column which total amount accounting at cells A31. I need figure 360 as a benchmark calculation perfectly been done. In this calculation 360 well off inside cells A18 although actual number is 363. If we use Conditional Formatting when had enough total in cells the achieve 360, cells colour will be transformed to red. What formula which need I used to change no matter cells on A1 to A30 if sufficient study 360 automatically cells changing colour to red

I have a macro that, at varying places, changes the formatting of adjacent cells. The formatting code is easy to generate via the macro recorder, but it's long - longer than the macro itself - and I'm using it a couple of times (due to if statements). That makes it difficult to read. It's usable, but looks ugly. I'd like to streamline its appearance.
Is there a way to do something like:
Code:
If range("F5").Value > 0 then
Activecell.Offset(1,0) format = blah
ElseIf Range("F5").Value = 0 then
Activecell.Offset(-1,0) format = blah
End If
The formatting I want is dark gray interior with a border box around it. The macro recorder generated this:
Code:
Sub test2()
'
' test2 Macro
'
'
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
[Code] ............

I'm a average excel user, i know my way around it and kow common and basic formulee, VB isnt a strong point, but i am willing to attemp anything for this, let me explain
Lets say in colum A I have a list of items, in colum B i have a check box, currently the check box is red, if i tpye a x it turns green due to conditional formating. That works fine...onto the problem...
Lets say in colum A i have my items but they are repeated...eg A1, A145, A166, A122 are all the same item, what i want is regardless of where i place the x each check box under coloum B either gets a X and turns green, or just turns green, i dont mind...
I dont think conditional formatting can cut this, though i may be wrong. Ive tried to use the IF function under condtional formatting but ran into problems...

I often use the same file/pivot table for both month and weekly reporting. In my source data my field headers show 1,2,3,4..etc. This way I can use for month or weekly. But I often change the "Custom" name on the Field Value Settings to something more descriptive like "Jan" or "Week1"
The problem is that each time I update the the "Custom" name the Pivot Table auto refreshes and it takes forever to re-label all the columns.
Is there a way to suppress this refresh when updating the Custom Field Name?

I searched, but couldnt find a thread which covers a VBA code which covers writing a conditional format into cells and changes each time contents of the cell are refreshed. The conditions are:
If activecell.value < 0 Then
.interior.colorindex = 3
If activecell.value >=0 Then
.interior.colorindex = 4
and i want this to happen for a big range of cells (range(a1:k1500) So basically, once the macro is run(which has the code to insert the conditinal formating for all the cells), if the user makes any change to the cell(within the range), the color of the cell should change automatically(like Conditinoal formating works by default). Prior to this, i was doing my cell coloring using the 'for loop' approach, but that of course does not reflect once the macro has ended.

have come across the apparent inflexibility of a pivot chart retaining its user defined formatting whenever it is refreshed.
I understand I can save my chosen formatting as a 'user defined' custom chart, which can be applied post-refresh, but was wondering if a simple bit of code would do this automatically, saving the additional clicks!
how to deal with the attached. How could I adapt the code to call in other 'user defined' charts I may create in the future?

I currently have a spreadsheet that refers to a different spreadsheet, with different expenses each month, with the months going across from A,B,C,D etc.
Because the formulae on the expenses sheet refers to cells such as O13 O15 O27 etc, at the start of the next month the 'O' has to be changed to a 'P' to give P13 P15 P27
This doesnt sound much but there are over 10 different spreadsheets that are all currently changed manually. Is it possible to have a function referring to a cell containing 'O' which when changed to 'P' changes all the formulae to refer to the cell next to the original.
EG Instead of O13 it would be [variable]13
Essentially this will mean that a master sheet will be able to change all the excel spreadsheets in one go.

Excel 2010. I have a field that is color formatted based on the value of another field, which is calculated.
The conditional formatting does not refresh when the value is recalculated, but when I go away from the tab and come back, it works fine.
Any simple VB code to refresh the conditional formatting upon a workbook change?

I'm trying to sum up a column of cells which have both text with and without strikethrough formatting. I've looked around and got some VB codes but it doesn't work for me.
I still get the annoying #NAME? error. It did work initially but after moving the file to another computer it just became #NAME? again.

I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)

I'm having to successfully add three conditional formatting rules, and associated cell interior colour formats if any of the rules are met.
Each time I run my macro, I want to refresh every cell, within a defined range within a Col P, with these rules.
So far, I can add the three rules to each cell, but when I try and add the format colour - for when a rule is met - I keep getting a 'Subscript out of range error'.
(As an aside, is my For / Next loop approach the best one to take to add the formatting to each cell, or can it be written much simpler?)
Here's my script:
VB:
Dim Col_P As Range
Dim Cell_in_ColP As Long
'Set up range of cells to add conditional formatting rules to
Set Col_P = Worksheets("tRIIO Pack Notices").Cells(2, 16).Resize(Lrow - 1)
[Code] ......

I have a spreadsheet showing names, quality percentages and times taken to answer a call in 3 columns. I would like to highlight the cells that fall within the top 20% of those shown (e.g. if there are 100 quality percentages I want to highlight the top 20 not those over 80%) also the same with call length.
I have a column of numbers and times (mins and secs) and what would like to do is set a conditional format so that the cell turns a colour when the number of any cell is within the highest 20% and the other column turns a different colour when the time is within the lowest 20%.

I have an autofilter set up that hides all rows with 0 in the first column. This information is automaticaly filled in from information on another sheet. Using a worksheet code from a previous thread I have got all the worksheets to automatically refresh which is great.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Me.FilterMode = True Then
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
. ScreenUpdating = False
End With
With ActiveWorkbook
.CustomViews.Add ViewName:="Mine", RowColSettings:=True
Me.AutoFilterMode = False
.CustomViews("Mine").Show
.CustomViews("Mine").Delete
End With
The issue I have is that there are 52 worksheets (it's a weekly rota) and if any change is made anywhere on the sheet, all the worksheets then refresh which takes just over a minute (about 40 changes need to be made each day).
Does anyone know if there is a way that the information will only refresh on all sheets if changes are made in colums A? as this is the only information that is taken through to other sheets. Or is there another way of doing this?

I am having trouble getting some conditional formatting to apply to all cells in a column in a pivot table. Currently, the conditional formatting is only applying to the top level items in the pivot but is not applying to the lower level items. I can see why it is doing this. the range in "Applies to" is only specifying the rows that contain the top level items. I tried to change the range to D10:D647 but, it reverts back to just the top level items. How to get it to apply to everything?

I've recently got into using excel for more complicated work but still have a less than basic knowledge as I'm attempting to teach myself through trial and error. What I'm currently working on is a simple macro that downloads data from a website (which I've done) but ideally I'd like to have this macro recreate the data roughly every 30 seconds/minute and also have this data recorded next to the existing data rather than on top of it. I realise that you can import data from the web using the standard tools and can set it to reset every 60 seconds but I don't think you can get it to reload the data next to it which is why I was considering a macro.

im using a vba macro to open a workbook and bring values into specified cells in the current workbook.... however when i do this its changing the cell formatting and then the info is coming up as dates instead of how it should look, is there a way to stop this? here is my code....
Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
'On Error GoTo error1
Dim RunNum As String
RunNum = Range("N9").Value
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("X:FrontEndChip FabFacet CoatingFinished Eddy Runs" & RunNum & ".csv")
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("C3").Value = wb.Worksheets(RunNum).Range("C3").Value 'run#
.Range("G3").Value = wb.Worksheets(RunNum).Range("G3").Value 'Date
.Range("J3").Value = wb.Worksheets(RunNum).Range("J3").Value 'Operator(s)..................
NOTE* the info being read into the worksheet looks like this 12-2 or 10-1 or 12-12 but if it would stay as TEXT like i have it set to instead of changing itself to date format it would work just fine

writing a macro that will refresh all the active cells in my "Master" worksheet.
Every month, I append data from one Excel worksheet to the end of my Master worksheet. I want all the cells in the Master worksheet to be formatted as text. However when I copy the cells, I get different formats, i.e. text, general, number, etc. Simply selecting the new data and applying the text format from the Format Cells popup, does not work. I know I need to "re-enter" all the data for the new format to take effect but I really don't want to F2-> Enter thousands of cells.
how to write a macro that will refresh all active cells in a worksheet?

We have a spreadsheet that is sent to a manager weekly. The manager takes the sheets from 30+ individuals and copies all into a single workbook that is then distributed to a very large audience and reviewed weekly. In this workbook, I have created drop downs with conditional formatting - Low = Green, Medium = Yellow, Critical = Red. On the original workbook, this formatting works great, however, after the manager consolidates and redistributes all worksheets the Green shows Gray, Yellow is OK and Red shows Black.

I have an area of a spreadsheet that I want to "disappear" when a particular option button is selected. I can make the text go away, but part of that area has cells that are formatted differently than the surrounding cells. I would like to change the cell background color, text color, and border setting. How would the syntax read?

There is a table [A8 TO D60] and a column alongside, where the months of the year are listed. In a particular independent cell, the name of any month can be chosen and entered.
The table rows preceding the chosen month, have to be shaded. When a different month is chosen, the shading should now cover the new set of rows preceding this different month and so on.

I read your reply to the thread below, and used your Worksheet_Calculate routine from it. It only works for the first sheet in my workbook. I have multiple sheets in the workbook, and when I run the routine on an activesheet other than the first sheet in the workbook, it doesnt work.
Is there a way to get this routine to work on a worksheet other than the first one in the book?
