View 1 Repliesi'm creating a spreadsheet with records of repair jobs on vehicles that my company is/has performed. the problem is that, the way our system works, there are currently no unique identifiers for jobs, meaning i cannot create a master list with various vlookup tables with only the information relevant for our engineers on them.
is it possible to create a macro or use some other system, that will create a new, unique code when a line/cell is filled in? because we end up sorting the list by different criteria on a regular basis (to find specific jobs) the system can't be relative (i.e. +1 to the code above).
This recorded macro inserts a line below the cell that active when it was first recorded. It then copies some text and a formula to the line that was created.
Sub Macro11()
Rows("10:10").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A9:E9").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("H9").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("H10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("F9").Select
End Sub
If you run this macro again at a different cell position, it goes back to the first starting position and repeats the same action. I see that the cell references from the first recording are fixed in the macro. I can't figure out how to make the macro use the new current cell position as the starting positiion when it runs again.
I have a workbook which is set up to take an average heart rate of a participant from a series of data points. I have set the spreadsheet up before I have collected some of the data. (so I can review the project at the 3 months period and its an ongoing project).
The problem is that if there is no data in a participants column then excel correctly gives you readout of “#DIV//0!”. On my results page this #DIV//0!” makes it hard to read the spreadsheet. Is it possible to get excel to turn #DIV//0!” to “0” or even turn it to a blank cell?
I seek advice on using the value of NOW() as a record ID in an address book program. Question #1: Do Excel developers often use a record ID? Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.
I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.
Dim n As Double
n = Now()
sn = Str(n)
p = InStr(sn, ".")
first = Left(sn, (p - 1))
l = Len(sn)
d = l - p
S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................
I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.
What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.
I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.
1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)
2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.
3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab
I'm trying to find a macro that will run allowing the user to select a 'starting record number' and a 'finishing record number' when printing.
I have a spreadsheet that feeds from a master list in excel, from over 5000 records.
I need to print the s'sheet with any given indivdual record's information at any given time.
Individual prints are fine. However if I wanted to print from record number 1500 to record number 3000 it would take me all day.
Is there a way I can set up a macro so an option form pops up? allowing selection of "From record" and "to Record" ?
can I set a cell in excel so that if a number in a different cell is above a certain number it will turn green and another cell to turn red. I have attached the file.

Drop the Lowest2:
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10)
Drop Lowest1:
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10)
I know I can write the formula in a simpler way, but I was asked to make it like this.
The problem is that when I enter the formula in the cell while recording. I got a message: "Unable to record" so this part can't be recorded
This problem seemed to revolve around "digital signing" with further macro changes done from a different machine (without the proper certificate). Excel warns of the problem and then "unsigns" the project.
I've got a problem with spreadsheets that I've been working on. Now, when I tell it to record a macro, I get the macro name, shortcut assignment dialog box and then an error "Unable to record." After "Ok"ing that dialog box, the normal recording macro dialog comes up. Also, lo and behold, there will not be a macro recorded.
I've got no protected cells or sheets and it doesn't matter what security level is set. It is a "signed" macro but I can take off the signature and still have the problem. I checked for "Help - About" for deactivated modules and there was none.
I'm going to turn the F1 key off in my spreadsheets so that I do not hit it by accident so manytimes, but how do I bring up help without it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have attached a sample file. All the data is inserted into this file via a text file, except one column "G". Someone in this forum was kind enough to help me in being able to include the city name 'G' to a parcel number 'A'. However, the page is constantly trying to complete 'Calculations' and won't let me do anything without first hitting 'Control Break'.
This is fine except that when I try to save the file into .txt, I don't have the option of 'Control Break' and I have to end up closing the file. As the 'real' file has over 100,000 rows, nothing happens very fast. I have tied changing the 'Calculation Options' but that doesn't seem to change anything.
The use of * as a wildcard in excel can be extremely useful, however, can it be turned off? I work in the education sector and am currently number crunching GCSE results. When it comes to calculating A* grades versus A grades, B grades, etc, I cannot seem to do it because of the wildcard.
Is there a button in Excel you can press that will turn gridlines on/off rather than going through the tools/options/gridlines route?

Then do the same in column D, paste into column A.
And finally the same in column E, paste into column A.
But I think the autofilter turning on and off might be a problem.
Code:
Sheets("PP").RAnge("A2:A50").ClearContents
Dim LastRow1 As Long
RAnge("C1").Select

Without using VBA can you suppress alerts in Excel?
Specifically when you are creating copies of many sheets in a workbook,
"A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "Month", which already exists on the destination sheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?"
The reason for turning the alerts off is that the answer is always yes and it appears too many time in this workbook.
How can I silence the annoying beep heard whenever a msgbox pops up or an error box appears?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Column 'A' I have part numbers. In Column B I have suppliers that supply that part number. My report drops into excel as per the below table. My issue is if a part number can be supplied by more than one supplier it duplicates the part number in Column 'A' based on how many suppliers can supply that part number In Column 'B' it will list each supplier for that part number In the table below you can see that part number 1122 can be supplied by supplier 'ABC' and also 'DEF' - Part number 9966 can be supplied by 3 different suppliers so lists the part number 3 times in Column 'A' and in column 'B' it lists each supplier i.e. 'TUV', 'WX' and 'YZ'
What I want to be able to do is the suppliers in Column 'B' be listed in the cells to the right of the part number and dupliactions in Column 'A' be removed
'A' 'B'1122
ABC
1122
DEF
9966
TUV
9966
WX
9966

I am working with a spreadsheet created by someone else. I am trying to change a date in the spreadsheet from "12/19/07" to "5/1/08". When I type in the new date, excel assumes that I am entering a formula, places an "=" in front and displays 1/1/1900.
I can open a blank spreadsheet, type in the date "5/1/08" and copy it into the cell in the existing spreadsheet and it reads it as a date just fine.
I've browsed the net searching for a solution to my problem and found one solution altough not entirely what i was after, but it was very close. It was provided on another forum, of which i'm not a member.

I'm trying to turn calculation to manual, but there does not seem to be an Options button under tools on the mac I'm using. I've checked another mac and it is also missing. I'll probably end up using a pc for the calculations anyway, but I was wondering if anyone knew what was up?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a long list (almost 17,000 rows) with two columns (ID and Code). There are about 1400 IDs, each with multiple codes:
ID Code
1 ab
1 mn
1 hh
2 mn
2 hh
3 ab
etc.
I need to turn the list into a table that looks like this:
ID Code Code Code ...
1 ab mn hh
2 mn hh
3 ab
Each ID has a different number of codes (anywhere from 1 to 89).
I know I can right click in cell and choose from the items, but can I actually make the cell a drop-down box, like on websites? Meaning, can I choose which options/numbers/letters/choices I want in the drop down, and be able to right click and highlight one?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a color change alert in a cell using Conditional Formatting. Is there a formula that will turn off the alert in that cell once a value, (any value), is entered into the cell?
Every so often I get a spreadsheet form some one else, and when I start to edit it formulas turn immediately into values.
For example, I enter a =10/2 ,when pressing enter, the cell displays correctly the result, 5. But when I click into the cell, instead of having the formula
=10/2, the only value inside is 5.
How do I keep this happening ??? I want the cells to keep the formulas.
Is there a formula I can use that will look at the following in an excel cell Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014-01-26.xls
and then convert that into the date value 41,300. And the same thing for all other cells with the same format...so if was Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014-01-23.xls the formula would convert it to 41,297.
Not sure if this can be done. Here is a example of my project
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains several formulas that return #value! errors. My formulas are correct and I can remove the error by using an "if" function, but there are a lot of these cells. I just want to make the error show blank to make my workbook look nicer without having to write formulas to avoid the error messages. Is there something I can add in the VBA worksheet function to turn off these errors?
