Select An Item Of Data ( Or Update A Particular Cell ) Then I Loose The Highlighting For That Row
Jan 23, 2009
I have a big spreadsheet that has 30 columns. The data is downloaded from an SQL database from time to time. The row identifying data ( the record number/key ) is in the left most cell. I often have to move over 10 to 20 columns to view some other data in the same row. I can do this by selecting the preset Excel row number which higlights the whole row and then use the lower slider bar to go to the correct column to view the data.
However if I wish to select an item of data ( or update a particular cell ) then I loose the highlighting for that row and I can "loose" which row I am on. ( maybe I'm stupid but it does happen ) Can I use Conditional formatting to highlight a row whenever I alight on any data in that row and it sttays highlighted until I select another value on another row?
I have a spreadsheet where user can search for information inside a search box and the appropriate rows are returned using formulas.
I have a drop down list (Category: Model) in the search box as well as a search field (Category: Program, cell D2). Underneath the search box, search rows are returned with column categories: Program, Model, etc.
What I require is that if a user enters the specific program into the search field D2, then the dropdown list would automatically choose which model that program belongs to based on the returned row.
For example, if I typed "engine" into D2 and pressed enter,
Under the records section (Row 14 and beyond), the following record will pop up:
Program Model Indicators
Engine F-16 3a
Based on the record, F-16 would be chosen from the dropdown list. Is there any way this can be done?
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
In Column B, it will display the item cost as either a numerical value, (example $1.00) or it will say "disco" for discontinued.
I want to update the item description in Column A by adding the work "disco" if Column B display's "disco". If column B display's any numerical value (0-999999999) then I would it to do nothing.
I have a userform that search for a value in column A, it displays the results in the listbox. Example: Search for value "111" and it brings me back the following results back in the listbox "111 David 35". So this means 3 columns matching data is returned.
I want the following to happen if I double click on the item in the listbox it needs to update the value selected in the worksheet eg. strikethrough the row on the sheet to show item has been selected/done.
Suppose I have a department List, and I made a list from that column (Department List), and I enter more staff and selected a department for them during registering, now one of the Department List Item change, How is it possible to change all the entry which has that department?

I work for a marketing agency where technical savvy-ness is really limited. We analyze a lot of web page elements. I have a program that exports this data into a csv file and I've created a template for the user to add this sheet. This data is primarily text. I've created a button on another sheet that runs a macro that extracts data from the first sheet onto the second sheet in a particular format for ease of reading and editing it. That part is all good, this macro works and the button works. Now I'm trying to have it such when a person edits one of these cells, it highlights the changes on this newly sheet using VBA (the highlighting changes function just turned out to be too messy and buggy for what I want). I have this basic change macro that I have on the sheet currently:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1:H500"
On Error GoTo ws_exit: Application.EnableEvents = False If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then With Target .Interior.ColorIndex = 30 End With End If
ws_exit: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
This works as well. However, my problem is that when I run the data button macro, of course excel reads this as a change to the cell and highlights it as a change before any actual changes are made. How can I have it so I run my data macro, and the cell changes are highlighted only *after* the user goes in to edit the text data plugged in from the data macro?
If the user adds 3 new lines, to the data table, – the Series Value Ranges should increase by 3 lines – AUTOMATICALLY(!) to avoid the user to full-around with the chart. It should take care of the 4 Series Ranges and also of the Range for the X-Axis Category Labels. As far as I recall, the way to accomplish it, is by NAMING the ranges with COUNTA etcc BUT, here – the last row is an empty rowc
I have a price list from my supplier with the new prices.
I then have my Accounting software where I need to update the cost and retail prices. The problem I have is the Accounting software has allocated it`s own Unique ID for each item. So in order for me to bulk import this I need to keep this unique ID with the Actual Product ID together otherwise it will duplicate the product.
Here is a example
Sheet to be updated (Cost and Retail only) from PRICE LIST SHEET Uneque ID SKU
How do I select the first item in a listbox via code (userform).
Scenerio: A user starts with listbox3 and makes a selection for a font type. If the font selected doesnt exist on there system (code already taken care of, true or false) I want to automatically set the font to the first item in listbox3 as a default value transparently so the user can continue.
I am wondering if there is any code to SELECT (DESELECT) A MENU ITEM using VBA? I have an Excel Add-in program installed, which adds a Menu "Easycal" to my Excel menu bar. Under "Easycal" (drop down list), I have the following items:
I am using "Easycal"'s functions in various cells of my sheet "Final". When I select "Refresh worksheet" from "Final", "Easycal" fetches (or calculates) me the data from the "Easycal" database. I have a macro (on "Final") that pulls together data from other sheets of the same workbook. I there anyway to include a code in my existing macro, so that when I run the macro, the following are completed in sequence:
1. Select "Turnoff Easycal" menu item 2. Run my existing macro (to pull the data from other sheets to "Final") 3. DeSelect "Turnoff Easycal" menu item 4. Select "Refresh worksheet" menu item
I'm using list boxes in an excel sheet. What I want to do, if at all possible, is to be able to TAB to the list box and then hit the first letter of the City I'm trying to go to. The list is in alphabetical order, but if I tab to it and want Philly, I want to just be able to hit the P button and get to the Ps.
I have one source spreadsheet, where are columns NAME, DATE. I read these data by ADO to other spreadsheet, where I can change/delete data and then run macro for update data in source spreadsheet. The problem: In source spreadsheet is column "NAME" and column "DATE", with values e.g. "Joseph"; 1.1.1980. I read this data to other spreadsheet, then I delete in it value 1.1.1980. When I run macro Update, it messages error.
Sub UpdateItem ... .Fields.Item(1).value = activecell 'activecell value = "Joseph" If Not isempty(activecell.offset(0,1)) Then .Fields.Item(2).value = activecell.offset(0,1).value Else .Fields.Item(2).value = "" 'I tried Empty and 0 too but when I read data again then, it displays 0.1.1900, nothing works End If ... End Sub
It seems that in source spreadsheet has data in column "Date" format Date and when I try to update data in format String ("") in source spreadsheet by Update macro, it messages error. When I used
.Fields.Item(2).Value = Empty ' or .Fields.Item(2).Value = 0
after rereading data it displays 0.1.1900 What I want to get is that if the cell with date (in other spreadsheet) is empty, the cell in column Date in source spreadsheet after updating will be blank (contains no values).
I have two cells and both have a drop down list. I would like Excel to automatically select an item from the second drop-down list based on the manual selection of the first drop-down list. The second cell needs the have the dependent item appear in the second cell not just be available in the drop-down list.
For example, Cell A1 has a drop-down lsit of the names of fruits, vegetables and flowers (apples, bananas, carrots, carnations, corn, daisys, tomatoes, zuchinni). Cell B1 has another drop down with three items (fruits, vegetables & flowers) which needs to be dependent on the first list. Further, I would like cell B1 to automatically select the appropriate item.
For example, if "carrots" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "vegetables" to be selected and automatically appear in cell B1. If "carnations" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "flowers" to appear (not just be available in the drop down).
I have a list of country names in a listbox that are populated using another worksheet that has these country names. When I make a selection in the listbox, I want the same country names to be highlighted in the worksheet. I will then be able to run a macro that takes those selected cells as input.
I am attempting to use an if statement to stop a user from trying to input a listbox as a null value. The if then statement is not working. The listbox value is null but the if statement doesn't react.
If listbox1.Value = Null Then MsgBox "you must select a serial number"
I have a normal data validation box on excel, but I want to be able to navigate my way through it using a macro. I can select & opent the drop down list with the following SendKeys "%{DOWN}"
but then an action like
SendKeys "{UP}"
Does not navigate itself up the menu as a normal keystoke would. Any ideas on how to solve this? Basically, I want to select a cell, open the drop down menu, select the first choice in it (so thinking SendKeys "{HOME}{ENTER}" ) all using a macro.
I have a ListBox that comes from the Control ToolBox
I know how how fix
ListBox1.ListIndex = 0
my problem comes because when i run a Macro... I lost the focus of my listbox, I mean once I move around the workbook through vba the listbox does not show anymore... one item of the listbox selected, I mean in blue.
Is there a way to do kind of:
activesheet.ListBox1.Selected(5) = True
I I want to see the fifth item of my Conbo Box on blue, I mean selected
I have a Multi-Select Active-X Control Listbox and an associated Button. I am trying to create a dynamic Select ALL, Clear All Button. Clear All Function Works, but Select All triggers the Change Event for the Listbox.
figuring out a way to either
1. Disable the Change event until the "Select all" loop is completed or
2. Find a way to write the action for the Button directly, such that the click event is programmed as part of the Change event, and everything is done in one.
I am kind of new to Excel programming and would like to know if there is a solution to my problem. What I need is to have a dropdown list (I know how to make this) then select an item from the drop down, then based on the name i select, Excel automatically fill up the rest of the cells.
For example, from the drop down list I select the company name then Excel automatically type the address, phone number, Fax number and the contact name of the company for me in corresponding cells. Is there a way to do this?
I have a Listbox (Listbox2) in column C. The listbox allows users to select multiple items (in this case it is countries). So the user could select 1 or 20 countries based on the previous criteria.
What I would ideally like is for the next column (column D) to automatically list the selected items without having to use a command button in the actualy cell. However, I could put a command button at the end to say "Confirm" which would then transfer the above into the relevant cells.
This is an excel file, and each row would works the same. Basically users are entering products for set up row by row, so the file could be 10 rows or 200.
Just to be clear, it would look a little like this:
Drop Down Listbox Column C Column D
Canada (Selected) Canada, USA South Africa USA (Selected)
I found this spreadsheet on here and I have been trying to customize it to what I need. I am trying to have scores from skins match highlighted. I want only the minimum score to be highlighted but if there is another duplicate minimum score I don't want it to highlight anything. I also need to find a way to count the skins won by each player and have it off to the side.
For those not familiar with golf a Skin is a game where you try to get the lowest amount of strokes on a specific hole. Ex- 4 people play the hole one. P1 scores 4, P2 gets a 3, P3 and P4 get 6. The skin would go to P2 who has the lowest score on that hole.
Highlight lowest number in each column not highlighting if there are duplicates starting at L6 down to L11 and for each column till AC. And the same for the group just to the right on attached file.
On row 13 and 14 it tells me who won a skin. I want to tally up the total skins won by each player. so if Joe's names shows up twice on R14 I want it to tell me somewhere in the sheet Joe = 2
So I have been trying to plug away at this but am getting no where fast.
I have a set of job numbers on sheet 2 that is pulled from sheet 1, when the job numbers are pulled over it also pulls the due date. The problem I am having is that Sometimes the due date gets pushed out and writing the macro that will pull in the new date
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
I have a pivot table whose data source is located on a shared network drive. Each day a new data source is uploaded and the only thing that changes is the date in the filename (ie. DataSource080813.xlsx). I am trying to find a way to set the data source to update with todays date automatically each day so that when you open the workbook it is always current days data. I have a cell (B2) with a formula in it that gives me the file location of todays file (ie. X:TeamFolderFile1DataSource080813.xlsx, where the date is derived using the TODAY() function. Is there a way to set the pivot table data source to cell B2 and have it use the text from B2 as the file location?
