    - Using VBA to Create New Sheet That Consolidates Others Hi, there: Ron de Bruin's site provides the following wonderful code, which reads through all of the sheets in a workbook and then creates a new sheet that consolidates all of the rows on them into one new sheet (called "Summary," in this case). I've left his explanatory comments in: Sub BuildSummarySheet() Dim sh As Worksheet Dim DestSh As Worksheet Dim Last As Long Dim shLast As Long Dim CopyRng As Range Dim StartRow As Long With Application .ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False End With 'Delete the sheet "Summary" if it exist Application.DisplayAlerts = False On Error Resume Next ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Delete On Error GoTo 0 Application.DisplayAlerts = True 'Add a worksheet with the name "Summary" Set DestSh = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add DestSh.Name = "Summary" 'Fill in the start row StartRow = 5 'loop through all worksheets and copy the data to the DestSh For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets 'Loop through all worksheets exept the RDBMerge worksheet and the 'Information worksheet, you can ad more sheets to the array if you want. If IsError(Application.Match(sh.Name, _ Array(DestSh.Name, "LOOKUPS"), 0)) Then 'Find the last row with data on the DestSh and sh Last = LastRow(DestSh) shLast = LastRow(sh) 'If sh is not empty and if the last row >= StartRow copy the CopyRng If shLast > 0 And shLast >= StartRow Then 'Set the range that you want to copy Set CopyRng = sh.Range(sh.Rows(StartRow), sh.Rows(shLast)) 'Test if there enough rows in the DestSh to copy all the data If Last + CopyRng.Rows.Count > DestSh.Rows.Count Then MsgBox "There are not enough rows in the Summary Sheet to continue." GoTo ExitTheSub End If 'This example copies values/formats, if you only want to copy the 'values or want to copy everything look below example 1 on this page CopyRng.Copy With DestSh.Cells(Last + 1, "A") .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues .PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats Application.CutCopyMode = False End With End If End If Next ExitTheSub: Application.GoTo DestSh.Cells(1) 'AutoFit the column width in the DestSh sheet DestSh.Columns.AutoFit With Application .ScreenUpdating = True .EnableEvents = True End With End Sub I'm not sure, however, how to include a head row on the newly-created summary. Rows 1 through 4 of all of my subsidiary sheets are identical. How can I tell the macro to copy and paste the heeads on the first iteration of the loop, but not thereafter? The subsidiary sheets are not named the same thing--and in fact, their names may change--but the column rows/heads will always be the same. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

    - Question to MailMerge expert Hi, I have been using MailMerge for some time, usually to get 1 Word page from each Excel record. Sometimes I use Skip a record if... when I want to skip some records. Now I have a new task and problem. Fields (columns) in an Excel sheet are grouped into 3 groups, each connected with different subject. Each subject must be merged into a separate Word page. However in some records all data for a subject can be equal to zero, so from 1 Excel record I can get 1 or 2 or 3 Word pages depending on the data. So the question is: how to get 1 or 2 or 3 Word pages from each Excel record using the MailMerge? I still use the MS Office 97 but if necessary I can install w newer version of the programs. I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Regards, Zoska Tag: formula to change back ground cell color according to a value Tag: 784216

    - Why does this macro crash? I have to deal with CSV files output by some commercial software which is not properly written. It gives long lists in which some of the rows have more columns than others. These lists can be thousands of lines long, so I wrote this macro, which moves the offending rows back to where they should be. First, I manually open up enough columns so that the rows can be moved to the left. Then I establish which is the rightmost column containing data, and I go to Row 1 and run the macro. It works fine, except that it crashes at row 65535, instead of simply ending because it has dealt with every cell in the column. I have highlighted where it crashes, and would appreciate anyone who knows why this happens.

    - Min Value Here is an equation I'm using to calculate intersection sight distance: ISD = 1.47 (Vmajor) [T + (G - 3%)0.2 + (W/12)0.5] Each variable will be a cell, for instance, G could be B12. When G is less that 3%, I don't want it to do that part of the equation. The actual value of G could be 2.57%, but when it is, I don't it to "subtract 3%, then mult. by .2 In the EQUATION, i want that term, (G - 3%)0.2, to be a minimum of zero. See, when G is less than 3%, that whole term is negative, and i don't want that. Can anyone help me think of a way to not do that part of the equation when G < 3%?

    - Compatibility Checker Where is the "FIND" in the Compatibility Checker. Some of the formulas in this workbook are linked to other workbooks that are closed. When these formulas are recalculated in earlier versions of excel without opening the linked workbook, character beyond the 255 character limit can not be returned. The help portion of excel instructs to do the following to resolve! In the Compatibility Checker, click Find to locate cells that contain array formulas that refer to another worksheet, and then make the necessary changes to avoid #VALUE! errors. Can anyone walk me throught the steps so that I can correct and remove the links - how do I find where the links are> Tag: formula to change back ground cell color according to a value Tag: 784010

    - Deleting and Copying Marco code Hi, Can any one please help me with writing a code in visual basics? What i am trying to do is this: I want to create a button called 'close' in row 1(sheet 1) and when I click this I want a marco to run which will delete the entire row that the button is on and then paste that row into row 5 in worksheet 2.

    - Popup Input Box Hi, I'd like to have a message box popup whenever the word INPUT appears in a certain cell. Cell A1 have a formula to lookup another cell. If that cell does not have a value, cell A1 will show the word INPUT. Whenever A1 shows INPUT, i want a message box to appear to request for user input. I know how to create the form for the input and i know how to place the input value into cell A1, but I just do not know how to get the message box to popup. Also, I need excel to automatically monitor row by row, ie, users will key in row by row. So, if A1 shows INPUT, the message box will appear. then after they key in the INPUT and go on to the next row, if A2 shows INPUT again, another message box will appear. Thanks.

You don't use a formula for this, uyou use conditional formating. On the
worksheet menu use Format - Conditional Formating. Select either "Cell Value
Is" or "formula Is".
