    - Find entries in one column in another Hi, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem for days now and it is really bugging me... I have two columns with descriptions in. One column is part of a 'catalogue list' and one column is part of a 'things that have been ordered list'. For each item that is ordered the buyer needs to decide whether the item which they are ordering is on the catalogue or not. This is however not always done! This is where I come in. It is my job to search the list of items that have been ordered and using the description of the item (sometimes 10 words long) decide whether it is already on the cataolgue. This can be very time consuming and I was wondering if there was a VBA code which could speed up my manual process by comparing the two descriptions columns and matching up similar results. An example could look like... 'Things that have been ordered list' description **msc Breaded Fish Fillet Squares 70g 1x36pk 'Catalogue list' description Fish fillets 1x36pk, 70g Any help would be much appreciated...I am losing sleep over this!!

    - Andy Pope's button image editor; pasting icons to sheet then toolbar- why does image quality degrade? I used Andy Pope's add-in to save my custom button icons as .bmp files. To use them in my add-in, instead of trying to load them from the .bmp files directly, I used insert/image to put each .bmp on a worksheet in my add-in. I then use code to paste them to my new toolbar. The problem is that I seem to have quality problems in (at least) two places; when I insert a .bmp and enlarge it for analysis, the picture is similar to the original, but blurry (I'd expect it to just show a large 16x16 block of colors). Then when I paste it to the toolbar- then copy that image back into Andy Pope's editor, the end result shows that the image had further degraded. I'd like a clean (and transparent) .bmp on my final toolbar, but many google searches have turned up nothing. Is there a preferred approach to ensure that the button image quality remains stable/clean all the way through to the final toolbar? Thanks!

    - Get reference to a file opened in another instance of XL Using Office 2003; Generic: I need to loop thru all open MS-Excel files in another instance of XL with the object in mind of getting a reference to a particular file opened as a template. I can positively identify the template file by the contents of certain cells in the template. Specific: The user will be opening an Oracle Financials, Fixed Asset (CPR) ADI spreadsheet which always opens in a new instance of XL. I need to get a reference to this spreadsheet and populate it with data from an array. I can do all of this just fine, but it's the reference to the other instance that is a challenge.

    - Slow procedure I have modified a procedure I downloaded from Debra Dalgleish's site and show the detail as below. Basically it looks at a range of values then creates a named worksheet for each of these values if that worksheet does not already exist. If it does exist it just clears some ranges and copies in some filtered data. I would be grateful if someone could have a quick look through to see if I have put in anything in such a way that it would really slow the operation of the procedure. Don't get me wrong, the procedure does exactly what it is ecpected to do , it just seems to take a bit of time and I just wonder if there is anything slowing it. I am sorry I have notes above each operation as I am not the sharpest pencil in the box when it come to programming and I need to keep track of what I am trying to do.

    - If, then, for a long time I've asked several questions lately, and I'm sorry about that. I have a series of formulas that I could probably put into a very large macro, but I'm sure there's a way in VBA, but I can't figure it out. I have a very large spreadsheet to work with, but the formulas on most of them are either the same of similar. In one section I have a table that is renewed monthly. The table looks like this: Term Value 1 13905 2 12920 3 12015 4 11455 5 11095 6 11060 7 11200 8 11010 9 10580 10 10160 11 9705 12 9210 13 8665 14 7985 15 7375 16 6990 17 6730 18 6690 19 6745 20 6585 21 6280 22 5980 23 5660 24 5320 In addition there is a row of numbers that relate to this table that also changes monthly (it's used to keep track of the market value of a vehicle). The rows of data look like this: Aug-07 $18,848 Sep-07 $18,320 Oct-07 $17,792 Nov-07 $17,264 Dec-07 $16,736 1 Jan-08 $16,208 2 Feb-08 $15,680 3 Mar-08 $15,152 4 Apr-08 $14,623 5 May-08 $14,095 6 Jun-08 $13,567 7 Jul-08 $13,039 8 Aug-08 $13,905 9 Sep-08 $12,920 10 Oct-08 $12,015 11 Nov-08 $11,455 12 Dec-08 $11,095 13 Jan-09 $11,060 14 Feb-09 $11,200 15 Mar-09 $11,010 16 Apr-09 $10,580 17 May-09 $10,160 18 Jun-09 $9,705 19 Jul-09 $9,210 20 Aug-09 $8,665 21 Sep-09 $7,985 22 Oct-09 $7,375 23 Nov-09 $6,990 24 Dec-09 $6,730 25 Jan-10 $6,690 26 Feb-10 $6,745 27 Mar-10 $6,585 28 Apr-10 $6,280 29 May-10 $5,980 30 Jun-10 $5,660 31 Jul-10 $5,320 The August 07 amount is when it was put in service. We didn't really start keeping track until a few months later, which is next to the number 1. There is another cell that I put a date for the end of the month in, and I have several other cells that use that date in a vlookup table using the dates you see above (I've had to turn those formulas into VBA code, but that's another issue). Here's the deal. When it's July 2008 a formula is in place to move make various calculations, and the August 2008 cell should equal the first number in the first table above (in this case 13,905). In August 2008 I need the formula to carry down from July, and for September to then equal the first number in the table, October to equal the second number, etc. Is this something I can set up in VBA to do?

    - I hope to get many responses on this. I am currently in pain over the Sarbanes-Oxley rules and what they are requiring. I am not sure if I am so upset over the requirements or what appears to be manangements and Sarbanes auditors lack of knowledge of how to use excel. The Sarbanes people want to throw more people at every issue and my feeling is the real issue is their lack of knowledge of excel. Here is a general idea of my proposal. I feel it would probably take care of half of what they call deficiencies. My question is how secure it this: I have to send a pre formatted excel file "File01" to 10 subsidiaries so they can input thier month end financial data. The file has 12 sheets. I passworded each sheet and only made unprotected cells where I want input. I also passworded the workbook. I also passworded the file. Now to open the file I also send each user a second file "File02", it's sole purpose is to open the first file with code which the VBA is also passworded. What I am telling the Sarbanes-Oxley people is the file is secure and I will know if I get the correct File01 back becuase the first process when I open the file is to see if the file has a password. If they do not send me the correct file then either the file will not open because it has the wrong password or they used another file with no password which I will catch when I ask if the file has a password. I want to use this method because when I get the 10 files back I can do basically anything I want with the data using macros to automate the combing of data anyway that I want. Question: How secure is this method in that the user will have to use File02 as the opening file to force use of File01 that has file, workbook and worksheet protection. How easy would it be for someone to get past all that security? Note: I am thinking if they get past the file password it will not do them any good because they will not be able to get past the Workbook and Worksheet security. I will also be testing each files passwords for Workbook and Worksheet. Thank you for your comments. Steven Tag: Create range names with names in column heading Tag: 997859

    - Comparing worksheets with non-identical rows of information Hi, I am a newcomer when it comes to functions and programming in Excel which makes this task all the more difficult. I have a worksheet that is updated continuously with new/added information and information that is deleted. This is an inventory worksheet with retail items listed in rows and aspects of its description located in adjacent cells. Basically, I cannot depend on an item to be located in the same row each time the worksheet is updated since things are added and deleted. What I would like to do is have the original (non-updated) worksheet be compared to the updated worksheet by: 1. Using the info starting from C3 down (the UPC number for the product) in the original worksheet and search for this number in the same column (C) in the updated worksheet. 2. Highlight any differences in columns G, H, I, for the row in question where the identical UPC numbers are found in both worksheets. (Highlighted in the original worksheet) This is a very involved task I would assume, so if an answer cannot be provided, I would certainly appreciate any suggestions regarding reference material. Thank you for your time Glenn Yamada Tag: Create range names with names in column heading Tag: 997856

    - SQL ORDER BY issue I am creating a SQL SELECT statement in VBA that extracts data from a MS-SQL DB. All was going well, until I decide to put and "ORDER BY" statement at the end of the SQL string I was creating. Here is my code snippet: strTablein = "dbo.hpsc_application" strFieldin = "Planned_Obs_Date, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "Actual_Obs_Date, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "PlannedRetFYQtr, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "IT_Owner_L2, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "IT_Owner_L3, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "IT_Owner_L4, " strFieldin = strFieldin & "date_of_last_record_update" strWhere = "IT_Owner_L2 = 'my owner name field (data)'" strSQL = "SELECT " & strFieldin & " FROM " & strTablein & " WHERE " & _ strWhere & " ORDER BY Actual_Obs_Date DESCENDING" Debug.Print strSQL Set rs = con.Execute(strSQL, , 1) I am getting a sql error on the execute, stating there is an error "near DESCENDING". I cannot see what that would be. The output of the debug of strSQL is: SELECT Planned_Obs_Date, Actual_Obs_Date, PlannedRetFYQtr, IT_Owner_L2, IT_Owner_L3, IT_Owner_L4, date_of_last_record_update FROM dbo.hpsc_application WHERE IT_Owner_L2 = 'my owner name field (data)' ORDER BY Actual_Obs_Date DESCENDING In the WHERE clause, I am wondering if it is something with the single quote, or some such. Note, if I remove the "...ORDER BY ....." all the way to the end of the statement, it works completely fine (just not in the order I want). Was hoping another set of eyes might see an obvious error.

    - Moving Columns Macro Hi, there. I am attempting to set a macro to move columns in one spreadsheet to match the column heading order in a different spreadsheet. If the secondary spreadsheet always came in the same order, I could just move all of the columns once and record the macro. However, the secondary spreadsheet column headings are in no standard order once it is received, but must be in the same order as the primary spreadsheet when finished. Is there a way I can set up a macro to search for the column heading and then move it to the appropriate place to be in the same order as the primary spreadsheet?

    - Data sorting to a new sheet I'm not even sure this can be done. What am trying to do is sort data from Sheet 1 and place the sorted data on sheet 2 & 3. Here is what the data would look like: 1 BLOCKNAME ADDRESS1 STROBE_CIRCUIT_INFO SPEAKER_CIRCUIT_INFO 2 INIT_SD 5.5.001 3 NAC_110 V2-01 A4-03 4 INIT_SD 5.5.021 5 INIT_SD 5.6.001 6 NAC_110 V3-01 A1-23 7 NAC_110 V1-01 A1-01 What I need is all Rows with something in Address1 column goes to sheet1 (in order) and all Rows with something in column Strobe_circuit_info goes to sheet 3(in order). I also need them to be grouped on the other sheet (2 & 3). ex. 3 NAC_110 V1-01 A1-01 30 NAC_110 V2-01 A4-03 57 NAC_110 V3-01 A1-23 so if the if there is a device V1-02 it would go in row 4 and so on, same for sheet 2 Is this possible or am i really reaching Thanks for your input Tag: Create range names with names in column heading Tag: 997847

    - Macro not ending? I've been having a lot of problems and it seems to be that the macro works perfect the first time; however, when I run it again, the user forms are shifted around, the combobox value can't be set to show blank, etc. It also does not do the initialize code in the form after it has been run once. It does all this after the first time unless I step through the macro and stop it. Then it seems to reset everything. Can you tell what I am doing wrong? Please help!

    - radio button with VB code Hello all, Iâ??m needing the following: 4 radio buttons, â??Defaultâ??, â??GTDâ??, â??ECOâ??, â??BOTHâ??. When running a VB code, I need to code to look at what button has been selected and call another VB code or in the case of â??Defaultâ?? it keeps running the code with out interruption. So, VB code is running, then it looks at the radio buttons, see that â??GTDâ?? is select and then calls another VB code, then it continues on with the rest of the code when the other code is finished.

    - VBA - Modify data in selection I need to concatenate a string in a column of a sheet based on user selection. Column L contains a string to which I need to add either "(SC)" or "(DR#)" where # is a number between 1 and 7. Ideally, the users can select the rows they wish to modify (be it 1 row or 1000), right-click the mouse and choose the appropriate modifier. In my code, Selekt is a public variable to hold the choice from the right-click. Note that there are two attempts to make this work with different coding. The first is from another forum and I think it is closer to doing what I need. The second is what I tried at the beginning. Here's the code I have so far: Private Sub InsertDR() Dim t As Long Dim rainj as range Dim ro as range Dim rev As String If Selekt = "0" Then For i = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count rev = CStr(Sheet1.Cells(ro, 12).Value) rev = rev & "(SC)" Sheet1.Cells(ro, 12).Value = rev Next ElseIf CInt(Selekt) < 8 Then rainj = ActiveSheet.Selection For Each ro In rainj rev = CStr(Sheet1.Cells(ro, 12).Value) rev = rev & "(DR" & Selekt & ")" Sheet1.Cells(ro, 12).Value = rev Next End If End Sub Any help here would be hot.

    - Transparent .XLA? Take this in the context of a total noob's groping around. Looks to me like .XLA's (or, at least, their use) are user/PC-specific and not application/spreadsheet-specific. i.e. If user Smith is able to use it on his desktop PC, he may not be able to use it with the same spreadsheet on his laptop. i.e. For a spreadsheet to be able to use code in Whatever.xla, each user's MS Office installation has tb configured to point to it as an Add-In. If I'm correct so far, I'm looking for a way to deploy 70+ identical .XLS files to 70+ different users but have all 70+ .XLS' use the same code module - so if we need to change the code we're not up a creek. We can live with the .XLA living on a LAN drive (i.e. a user working offline cannot get to it). Any solution that requires anybody to do anything on the user's PC is out of the question. It has tb 100% transparent. The first thing that comes to my mind is to have each .XLS' Workbook_Open event somehow check to see if the user's PC/MS Office has an Add-In pointing to our .XLA and, if not, create one in such a way that it points to the common version on a LAN server without copying it to C:\Program Files\WhereverAddinsLive The second thing that comes to mind is doing the same check to see if there's an Add-In and creating one if not - but pointing it to the user's C: drive and unconditionally copying the .XLA to somewhere on the user's C: drive if the LAN is available, and just quietly not doing so if the LAN is not available. Seems like this would give a little more portability, yet still let us push changes down to each user. Are either of these "good practice"? If not, can somebody suggest something? -- PeteCresswell Tag: Create range names with names in column heading Tag: 997794

    - Top Property in Excel 2007 Not Working Properly I previously made a step up chart with beginning, middle, and end totals on a bar chart. These totals were scattered bar charts with the data labels positioned at the top. In between the total bars were a series of stacked bars with the lower bars whited out to make it look like the bars were being stepped up or down to get to the totals. The data labels for the step bars would be progamatically positioned above or below the step bar whether it was positive or negative by using the top property. Well I currently switched over to Excel 2007 and the top property doesnt work anymore and I can't figure out how to position the data labels how they would previously be positioned. The values in the step up chart change based on configuration. Tag: Create range names with names in column heading Tag: 997784
