I set a column width to some integer like 10, and the next time I open the file it has changed to something like 9.89. Is there some configuration that prevents this from happening and leaves my setting alone?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to adjust a cells' column width without the whole column width changing? EXAMPLE...I'm looking to lock rows 1-41 at certain column widths and change the column width as needed from rows 42 and below.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI needed to match the width a merged area of seven columns to a single column width (for row autofitting). Adding the column unit values and setting the single column to that value produced a significantly narrower width.
The documentation mentions that the column width unit is scaled to the font type and size and the absolute width is given in points.
This is set by the normal style setting in Excel Options or by VBA application.standardfontsize = 8 (in this case).
For instance, ten columns of Arial font 8 at 8.5 units you would think to be equivalent to a single column of 85 units.
In points, the difference is 420 vs. 386.25, or 33.75 points.
Well, the standard character zero has a width at this setting of 4.5 points and 1 unit is 8.25 points, leaving 3.75 points for margins.
Then (10-1) margins allowances time 3.75 points resolves the difference.
Determining the margin allowances is straightforward, and reveals that the gradation with size is stepped by MS design.
For instance, sizes up to 11 use 3.75 points for margins and increasing points for characters (except between 9 & 10).
Sizes 12 through 18 use 5.25 points, 20 & 22 use 6.75, 24 & 26 use 8.25, etc.
I have created a table for this purpose, however I rarely use a "normal" other than 8, so I can probably use that set in programming.
I am having a small problem with microsoft excel 2007.the problem is that: my excel 2007 cannot display tooltip of the column width when I keep and drag left mouse
Show tooltip of the column width as attached file.
I also tried many ways to find settings of advance menu. But cannot.

I have written a macro to record some information to cells on a spreadsheet. Below is my code. As you can see I already have row setup in the code, but I now want to add column as an integer. So that if something were recorded in col m, then it would add 1 to colu and the next information would be added in col n.
Col = 13 (M) to start with.
Dim row As Integer
Dim colu As Integer
If Trim(txt(8, 10, 25)) = Workbooks("Book1").Worksheets(1).Range("K" & row) Then
MyScreen.Area(8, 4, 8, 5).Copy
MyScreen.Area(22, 40, 22, 41).Paste
SendKey "<ENTER>"
If MyScreen.Area(7, 57, 7, 57) = "A" Then
Workbooks("Book1").Worksheets(1).Range(colu & row) = Trim(txt(7, 57, 74)) 'getting my error here.. something wrong with colu
colu = colu + 1
End If
Essentially, I have a column of integer values which I would like to iterate through. The integers in the column vary from 12 to -12 with the exception of 0, so 24 possible integer values here.
For each possible value, I would like the activecell.offset(0,7) value added to a variable.
So if I iterate from cell A1 to cell A10, each time a value of "1" appears, I would like the cell 7 spaces to the right of the "1" cell added to a "total" variable for "1" e.g.: "totalOne".
The same applies for every value within my range. So if there are three instances of the value "8" between A1 and A10, then each value 7 cells right of those "8" values will be added to a total value for the value 8.
I started to use:
select case range("u4:u150"). value
case 1
Dim value1 = value1 + ActiveCell.offset(0, 7).Value
However, at this point I realised that a switch statement stores the range I have given it as an array, so my 'case 1' cannot work as it is trying to compare an integer with an array.
Finally, if it stores an array, surely it wouldn't be able to get cell.offset values as it would have no references to those locations given that the array is just a group of integers, not actual cell references? Will I have to use lots of "for each" statements? hope not!
I'm trying to create a vb to get all columns on my sheet to have a fixed width.
If I run my sub all columns go back to the set width. But I want the width to reset when the width is changed.
I want to fill a listbox with n columns so there is no space other than the text in it.
I have tried this:
listbox1.columncount = 2
listbox1.columnwidth(len(activecell.text);len(activecell.offset(0,1).text))
Or:
mystring = len(activrcell.value) or refer to the excel column width
listbox1.columnwidth(mystring;mystring2)
but I get an error message.
Or max of list len or something. The default width is to big and specifying the length could make it to small.
I have M106 = 4
I need a simple formula to convert that into column Alphabet + 1
So 4 will be Column E (A,B,C,D and 4th will be D+1= E)
I have a first column, which contains random integers typically with gaps of between 10 to 50 blank cells. The data may have up to 5,000 rows in total.
In the next column along I would like a calculation which averages the integer in the first column out across all rows until another integer is reached in the first column.
E.g. In the first column, the first number is 60, then 9 blank cells till the next entry. In the second column the first 10 cells each contain the number 6 ( = 60/10).
I'm creating a map like image with Excel, and I've set the column width and row height to certain dimensions. Now I'm entering in some text into them, and I noticed that when I added in 2 digit numbers, the column width expanded a little bit. I want to prevent this from happening, and still be able to enter in the 2 digit text (since it WILL fit, and it's expanding to keep that extra bit of space).
Is there any way to lock the dimensions?
the Ruler across the top that allows you to adjust the column widths (A B C D etc). Is it possible to insert another Ruler, further down the same page, to allow you to adjust the column width differently. if so how. On Excel 2007

Is there a way that the width would automatically adjust even as I change the values of the given cells; meaning, if a word is long, the width will automatically adjust "longer", if a word is short, then it will automatically adjust "shorter".
I know how the "AutoFit Column Width" works but I don't want to press that every time my values change (words becoming shorter or longer).
How would my macro below be edited to keep the column sizes the same as they are in the original sheet?
Sub NewUploadFile()
Workbooks.Add
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(3).Range("A2:K300").Copy
Range("A3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("A3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
Columns.AutoFit
End Sub
I want to know that can we adjust column or row width with keyboard.

I have an Excel file where there are multiple people's information on one sheet, and I have to split them out into multiple sheets. So I have written a loop to successfully do that.
However, I need all the sheets to have the same column widths as the original sheet. So after I insert a new sheet and cut and paste the appropriate data, I call another Sub Procedure from my main Procedure to do this. That Sub Procedure looks like this:
Sub MySetColumnWidth()
' Copy the column width for the first 30 columns
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 30
ColumnS(i).ColumnWidth = Sheets("Sheet1").ColumnS(i).Width
Next i
End Sub
However, I am not getting the results I expect. The column widths change, but are not the right sizes, and I have no idea why.
One odd thing I have notice, is that is mind code, whenever I type in:
Columns(i)
VBA automatically changes it to
ColumnS(i)
I have no idea why. I have no code or variables named "ColumnS". I am not sure if this is somehow playing into my problems...
BTW, I am using Excel 2007.
I have a range of cells which I wish to print to a .txt document. However, I would like these cells to stay aligned, one on top of the other. I am currently doing that by finding the cell with the widest piece of data for each column, and storing the width that each column needs to be to an array of integers. Then, when printing out the range, I simply add spaces to each piece of data its width is the same as the max column width. I am finding the max column width using the following loop:
'find the width for each column and store in col_width()
For cur_col = 1 To total_cols
'skip the tag switches column
If cur_col <> 3 Then
max_data_width = 0
For cur_row = 1 To total_rows
cell_data_width = Len(Find_String_Diagnostics(diagnostic_range.Cells(cur_row, cur_col)))
If cell_data_width > max_data_width Then.................

From one moment to another I am not able to set the column width doing the following: right-mouse-button click (the column) and choose column width and then type in the desired width The column width is not set this way.
Setting the column width by dragging the right side of the column works well. Also double clicking the right side of the column (auto width) works fine.
I think I have pressed a certain key combination (I am not aware of) to activate this behavior.
How can I re-activate/enable the above (1st) mentioned method to change the column width?
is there a way to save column widths once a pivot table is refreshed..
if not what is the vba code (and on what event procedure) to set the width for columns M to AF set to 13.
Can I use a macro to format a column that contains the words 'Grand Total'?
When I paste over the pivot it has reduced the column width and since it is all being produced by a macro I dont want to be lazy and do manual formatting.
I have got a few combo boxes on my worksheet. But when I adjust the width of the columns the size of the combo boxes changes as well. How can I make it so that the combo boxes stay frozen even though the columns size is being changed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to fix the width of a column everytime I open it but I can't. After I have fixed the column width and saved it before I close the file, when i reopen it, the column width will expand. The data source of that column is a real time query. I tried to lock the cell but when i locked it, I can't refresh the data from the query as it is locked. So, is there any way for me to achieve that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI looked at a couple pages of Ozgrid solutions for people that were having word wrap issues and decided my issue wasnt related to any of them - my cells are not merged and they are not exceeding 1024 characters. I have a sales sheet with column headings as the name of the product, many of which have long names (but all less than 100 characters). For example, one cell value is "Flow Meters And Regulators 2007" and another is "Sphygmomanometers 2007".
My column width pre-format is 8.43 and after format is 7.86
The only code I use to adjust the row and column size is
With Rows("1:2")
.WrapText = True
.AutoFit
End With
Columns.AutoFit
As you can imagine "Sphygmomanometers" breaks into two lines in the short confines of 7.86 width. How can i get the column autofit to adjust to the full word?
