I just want to run a macro when a certain cell is selected.
upon investigation, i have found that I can right click on the sheet tab and
view the code. I can then add the following
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$a$1" Then
run(macro1)
end if
End Sub
I've seen plenty of code for running a macro when various events occur, but how do I run a macro when a cell is simply selected? I have a calendar Macro, and there are two cells that need date input. I want the user to select the cell, and the calendar to pop up. Macro for the calendar works correctly, just need the code for the activation upon cell selection.
i am currently using the macro below to import text files into a spreadsheet. Currently, it begins the import in cell A1 which is what I recorded it to do. how do I change the code to begin the import on the active cell?
I am trying to create a button that when clicked it will add a character to the existing cell. Eg if cell had LDs and I click button I like it show LDsâ‚‚
Currently working on a project for university and still learning how to use macro. Got a problem which im sure is an easy solution for all you experts out there. As shown in the picture; http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1205/macrohelp.jpg. When the Sap number is entered (from A19 and onwards), it copies the value to cell B10. The general code is used below.
I am trying to create a macro that runs only if the user has selected a cell in column "D". I want it to fill in the background color of the selected cell and then make the value of column "M", row "whatever row the selection is on" = 1.
How to change the background color, but am unsure how to accomplish the other two tasks.
Code:
Sub Macro1()    With Selection.Interior        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent3 End WithEnd Sub
I created a very simple macro, which actually works.
There is a button on my spreadsheet, so the user can launch the macro using this button.
[ Code] .......
At the moment the user clicks on the button, the part of the macro which is hiding the rows will not take place if the cell activated at the moment of launching the macro is in the range below :
The table on my Excel sheet covers range A5:E49
If the active cell is anywhere in A6:49 or C5:D24 or C25, the hiding part of the macro will not work. Launched from any other cells on the spreadsheet it works fine.
The rest works fine and I am not getting an error.
To solve this I just need to add the line Range("G9").Select and it will work.
But I would like to understand why it does not work from the cells given above. My sheet is not protected and I unlocked the cells just ion case.
I have a macro that will go through a set of numbers and check them against a condition. if the cell complies with the condition i want to copy the entire row to a new sheet. sofar I have tried the following to select the current row but to no avail.
The goal of that formula was to return a Date/Time stamp that is fixed and doesn't change over time. The formula is intended to run in which ever cell that I select to enter it into. I named the formula:
=DS
What I am trying to do is create a macro that will run the formula using a hot key function. I want to be able to select a cell and hit CTRL D and have that above formula run in that cell. I have multiple sheets in my workbook and I need the macro to be able to run on any sheet in my workbook. Below is what I have:
Sub DateStamp() ' ' DateStamp Macro
[Code]....
I was trying to apply the macro to only a certain range of cells on any given sheet.
I have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2 ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4 ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:
BE BEARINGS
I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?
I am looking to run two separate macros. I have a project plan and I am looking to be able to select a button whereby on-click, a new row is created within a selected cell. However if the cell clicked is outside of a pre-determined range, then the task is automatically entered at the bottom of the plan. I would like for the copied row to go ABOVE the selected cell and have all of the same formatting as the row below (not the top - as is default in Excel).
The second is going to be very similar but will copy a task category (like a header item) and the first task (row) found below. It will also be copied from below and be inserted above the selected cell.Both macros will clear certain cells, whilst maintaining the contents of others, with formula contained. I.E. Columns C,D,E,H,I,J will be cleared.
I'm looking for a macro to jump to and select a cell if it matches the text in another cell based on a drop down list. So I have a drop down list in cell c57 and a form control search button right next to it. I want the user to be able to select from the drop down, click search and then jump to the cell that matches what they selected. I would like the macro to search from B:60 - B629.
Basically it is a if statement saying that if the selected cell falls between 1/01/06 and 31/01/06 then Jan would be selected. The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.
Sub test() Dim SelectDate As Range Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate") If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then ActiveSheet. PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _ "Jan" ElseIf selectedDate >= 1 / 2 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 28 / 2 / 2006 Then
What is the code i need to use to assign a macro to a command button which inserts the current date and time in the selected cell regardless of where that cell is?
When I use the mouse pointer to select a cell I can't use the arrow keys to move to another cell while the pointer is over the cell and I can't edit the cell while the pointer is over the cell. If I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal therefore I don't think this is a scroll lock issue.
This issue also happens when I select a tab. If I select a tab and then leave the pointer over the tab I selected then I can't use the arrow keys to move around the worksheet or edit a cell; if I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal.
I need to have my Fx macro run whenever a value is chosen from the drop down list in cell K9. I know I have seen how to do this but for the life of me I can't find a thread today that contains this info. The actual value chosen does not matter, I just need the macro to run every time the value in the cell changes.
On the template cell K9 is blank. So when the user chooses a EUR from the drop down the macro should run automatically (the user shouldn't have to do anything). And if the user then decides to change the currency to USD the macro should run again automatically.
I have a macro which sorts data within a cell. This is working perfectly fine but the only problem with this is that it works only for a single which is selected. How can I apply this macro to range of cells I select using a mouse.
I recorded a Macro that would take a value of a particular cell and add that value to the selected cell in the same row. However, this macro just runs on one cell and I want it to run on the entire row.
This may seem like a trivial issue but I've been racking my brain for the last couple of days to figure it out.
Here is the VBA code of the Macro I recorded. It adds the cell value to another cell with formulas already in it as you will see below:
Sub SpreadingTest15() ' ' SpreadingTest15 Macro ' ' ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "=IF(MarRF!RC9=""Trade"",IFERROR(IF(RC12=""BL"",RC13/12,INDEX('Variable Data'!R4C2:R16C17,MATCH('1410-Rev'!RC14,'Variable Data'!R4C2:R16C2,0),MATCH('1410-Rev'!R14C,'Variable Data'!R4C2:R4C17,0))*RC13),0),IF(RC14=R14C,RC13,0))+(RC35)" ActiveCell.Select End Sub
I have 1 macro that i would like to be activated as soon as i select any item from a form control listbox (doesn't matter which item). i am not using an active X control but rather a form control.
in creating a macro so that I can print from sheet 1 to sheet name "XYZ" as an array. In other words I want to print selected sheets as one command so that page number in the footer will automatically change.
I'm trying to run a macro called ClearDataSoFar whenever I leave a sheet and come back to it. I think it needs to be within a Worksheet_Activate statement, but not sure how to flesh it out.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Application.ScreenUpdating = False ClearDataSoFar Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
I'm looking for a string of code that will prompt the user to check-off boxes specifying the sheets they'd like to print, then have it save into a SINGLE pdf file. I'm using the below code right now and it will prompt check-boxes, and print using PDF but it does it one sheet/one PDF at a time. Any way to mod this so it will combine and save into a single PDF?
Sub SelectSheets() Dim i As Integer Dim TopPos As Integer Dim SheetCount As Integer Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet Dim cb As CheckBox Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I've made a push button on the sheet. By selecting a couple of cells and then pressing this button I want to change the background color of the selected cells as well as add some text (same for all selected cells).
I can use Find to find all all my rows where there is an "X" in a cell, and delete all the rows found that way (even if they are separated by other rows) in one fell swoop -MANUALLY. I use Find after having limited the area to be searched with a named array (so other "X's" don't get involved).
But when I record a macro with all the same moves, NONE of the Find code appears in the macro AT ALL....just the delete command. Hello? Relative reference (on the record macro toolbar) seems to have no impact.
So....the mission here is to delete entire rows wherever an "X" has been entered in a certain cell to mark the row for deletion...and those X's get there either through a DV list OR by a cell below the DV copying down the X from the DV cell above.
This is so because sometimes rows are "sub" to the one above, and if the one above is marked for deletion, then so must be the rows sub to it.
I have found this seemingly simple for...next loop here on the board:
For a = 1 To 50 If Cells(a, 17) = "x" Then Rows(a).Select Selection.EntireRow.Delete Next a
But the debugger reports a "next" without a "for" which is obviously there in dark blue as I suppose it should be.
If I could make this puppy work, I would sooner have it start from A2 and then go down from there to the last row -wherever that happens to be.
