    - highlight duplicate rows comparing two cells This post follows on from Dave Peterson's reply 13/3/08. I replied twice on the 14th but they seem not to have posted. Dave your code will be good if I want to just see unique values but can I please get some help to highlight all rows where col C LastName and col D FirstName are the same. >I don't want to concatenate and advance filter as I want to be able to quickly search all records >when deciding which duplicate to delete or to keep both/all (other columns >may differ). I need to be able to use the code again so was thinking that it would be put in a module in my personal.xls? thanks again Peta Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968952

    - Display CountA Formula and Text String in a cell I have the following line of code that inserts into a particular cell the count of the No. of asset records listed above it plus a text string declaring " Assets in the selected period" plus it takes the date value of two variables and formats them and places them in cell along the text rng.Formula = "=COUNTA(R[-4]C:R[-1]C)" & "&"" assets Aquired in the selected period " & "" & Format$(first, "short date") & "" - "" & Format$(last, "short date") My problem is that this does not display as i would have liked the dates are merely displayed as decimal numbers. I have changed the format of the cell to correct this but that does not appear to alter anything. How do i get the cell to display the count for the cells display the text message and the criteria range in the same cell Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968949

    - Code runs to slow We have a spreadsheet into which we dump a large amount of data (averaging around 55,000+ rows). We then use formulas to detect error in the data so that we can go back into the original program and correct those errors. What the code below does (my thanks to Rick Rothstein, MVP -VB) is hides all rows which do not have errors leaving only the rows with errors (saves one from having to scroll through more than 55,000 rows in search of errors). My problem is that it takes to long to hide the rows (in excess of 5 minutes). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to speed up the process? Sub HideRowIfZeroInG() ' ' Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim R As Range Dim LastRow As Long With Worksheets("Negative Miles and Missing Perf") LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row If LastRow > 65536 Then LastRow = 65536 For Each R In .Range("J3:J" & CStr(LastRow)) If R.Value = 0 And R.Value <> "" Then R.EntireRow.Hidden = True Next End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE.

    - problem moving columns around All, I need to re-order some columns in Worksheet. Here is the code which works just fine (to a point): ..... For fldCnt = 0 To numOfFlds - 1 ' Check every name in the first row ' For colNum = 1 To numOfCols fldVal = wks.Cells(rowFirst, colNum).Value If fldList(fldCnt) = fldVal Then If colNum <> (found + 1) Then ' Column needs to be moved to 'curPos' ' Set rngColToMove = wks.Range(wks.Cells(rowFirst, colNum), wks.Cells(rowLast, colNum)) Set rngDst = wks.Range(wks.Cells(rowFirst, curPos), wks.Cells(rowLast, curPos)) Range(rngColToMove.Address).Select Selection.Cut Range(rngDst.Address).Select Selection.Insert (xlShiftToRight) curPos = curPos + 1 End If found = found + 1 Exit For End If Next colNum Next fldCnt ..... The problem is that when I move the column the contents of "wks.Cells(rowFirst, colNum)" does not change to reflect the column's movement.. In other words, if the original column order is a,b,c,d and I change it to d,a,b,c what I see in the first row, programmatically, is still a,b,c,d. It is as though I need some sore of "refresh" after I do the cut/paste. I tried making it a Range object and then resetting it after the cut/paste, but the order was still a,b,c,d. Any ideas?

    - Curious about macro possibility I was wondering, and probably reaching for this one, if a macro can write another macro and place it in the appropriate "Microsoft Excel Object" sheet? The project I am working on is a annual scheduling workbook that will create 26 sheets (payperiods) when a commandbutton is clicked and name each sheet accordingly. During this execution, I was wondering if I could also: 1) create 26 commandbuttons with same caption as its respective sheet, size and align each button on a sheet, 2) write the three line code for each commandbutton, using the caption (also name of sheet) as the reference to GOTO that sheet?

    - Merge Data From one Workbook to another I have two work books. One is "historical" data and the other is "update" data for records in the first. I want to program some vb to update "historical" with the "update" data. Also I would not be using all the data in the whole row. I will only be updating certain columns of a row to historical: Column A in both is the account number. The script should take each account number in "update" and match it to the account number in historical, if there is a match it should update columns B, E, M, O of historical with update. If there is no match it should add a new record and update the same columns. Also this code should be contained in historical, also I need a way to activate rows in historical to show active records, what I mean by active is only records that were updated or added should be active. In other words maybe add another column called active to historical and as the script runs it puts the word active in a column or deactive in the same column and then I could filter it to show only the active ones. Im not sure if there is a better way of doing that or not, but i do not know how to code my thought either. Thanks so much in advance. Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968832

    - Detecting a change in a cell Hi all, I'm fairly new to VBA programming. I'm using Excel 2003. I need to know when a particular cell (it's actually a single cell "range" called MYRANGE) has changed. When I detect the change, I need to see if the new numeric value in that cell is not zero; if it's non-zero then I need to activate some code. Unfortunately that cell is changed via a formula - so using Worksheet_Change is apparently not going to work. That is, Worksheet_Change doesn't get triggered for cells of this type. I tried using .OnTimer to repeatedly check the value of that cell, but I couldn't get it to work very well. It seems like there has got to be an easy way to trigger some code to activate when a cell has changed (even for a cell that changes via a formula).

Attached is code that I thought would do the trick. It works if I manually set the cells to colors 3 or 45, but always returns -4142 if cell colors are set via Conditional Formatting. Sub Sheet1_ColorCellsTest() Dim redcells As Integer Dim orangecells As Integer redcells = 0 orangecells = 0 For Each c In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D7,E12:E44").Cells Select Case c.FormatConditions(1) Case 3 '3 red redcells = redcells + 1 Case 45 '45 orange orangecells = orangecells + 1 Case Else 'Not red or orange redcells = redcells orangecells = orangecells End Select Next If redcells > 0 Then Sheets("Sheet1").Tab.ColorIndex = 3 'If any red, make tab red 3, done Else If orangecells > 0 Then Sheets("Sheet1").Tab.ColorIndex = 45 'Or if any orange, make tabe orange 45, done Else Sheets("Sheet1").Tab.ColorIndex = 50 'Else if any No color, make tab green 50, done End If End If End Sub Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE.

    - Excel Macro Help I need to process an Excel file. I want to run a macro. The macro will not know how many rows are in the file. The column A has a date time stamp for each row. Column E has the value N, L, or R. The rows will start with Ns. Than the rows will have L or Rs. The last rows will have Ns. When the rows start to have L or Rs. I need to grab the date time and when the N begin again I need the date time so I can calculate the total time and add up the number of L and Rs. Here is a short example. 1/1/2008 10:10 N 1/1/2008 10:11 N 1/1/2008 10:12 N 1/1/2008 10:13 L 1/1/2008 10:14 R 1/1/2008 10:15 L 1/1/2008 10:16 N 1/1/2008 10:17 N Total there are 2 L and 1 R and time is 4 min.

    - Pass a Variable from one sub to another sub I have two command buttons in a userform; cmbCalculate & cmbAddToQuote. cmbCalculate when clicked calculates a price. cmbAddToQuote adds the price to the worksheet. In order to calculate a price the user must enter all valid information into the userform, if not a message box prompts them what to do and the sub exits. My problem is what if the user clicks the cmbAddToQuote button before a price is generated. I want to calculate the price and exit the entire sub if not all information is entered. But this code does not work why? Public Sub cmbCalculate_Click() Dim ExitEntireSub as Boolean If textbox1 = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter Information in TextBox1." ExitEntireSub = True Exit Sub End If End Sub Private Sub cmbAddToQuote_Click() Call cmbCalculate_Click If ExitEntireSub = True Then Exit Sub 'code to add information onto worksheet End Sub Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE.

    - Drop Down Menu Options? Need a PRO Big thanks to groups user huntermcg for this find. I have entered this into my "ThisWorkbook" - Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim sh As Object On Error Resume Next Application.CommandBars("Navigate XL-Dennis").Delete Application.CommandBars("Navigate Sheets").Delete On Error GoTo 0 With Application.CommandBars.Add("Navigate Sheets", , False, True) With .Controls.Add(msoControlButton) .TooltipText = "Move Back" .FaceId = 1017 .OnAction = "Move_Back" .BeginGroup = True End With With .Controls.Add(msoControlDropdown) For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Sheets .AddItem sh.Name Next sh .TooltipText = "SheetNavigate" .OnAction = "Sheet_Navigate" End With With .Controls.Add(msoControlButton) .TooltipText = "Move next" .FaceId = 1018 .OnAction = "Move_Next" End With .Protection = msoBarNoCustomize .Position = msoBarFloating .Visible = True End With End Sub and then I entered this into a module - Private Sub Sheet_Navigate() Dim stActiveSheet As String With CommandBars.ActionControl stActiveSheet = .List(.ListIndex) ThisWorkbook.Sheets(stActiveSheet).Activate End With End Sub Private Sub Move_Back() On Error Resume Next ActiveSheet.Previous.Select End Sub Private Sub Move_Next() On Error Resume Next ActiveSheet.Next.Select End Sub This created a neat little drop down menu for sheet navigation. (thanks to Bob Phillips for the code at http://www.excelforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1358771) QUESTION - I've applied this to a project of mine and it works great. Although with my project I have a workbook with over 250 sheets :-) Is their a way to limit the amount of sheets displayed in the drop down box? also if the above is possible... Is their a way to have different set of sheets displayed for each worksheet? For example, on "sheet 1", the drop down only displays sheets 2-5. Upon the users arrival to sheet 4, the drop down menu displays sheets 30-50. Thanks for the help in advance. Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968752

    - Select First Row of Active Column Hi, It's always funny how the most basic problems are the hardest to figure out. I need a macro to go to the first row of a colum when a user selects a cell below. For example, if I have selected cell D9, or D12, or D1000, I need it to go to cell D1. Or, if I have selected cell E9, E12, or E1000 I need it to go to E1. Thanks for your help, Derrick Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968747

    - Filename macro and a little more? The following works for me: Sub SaveAuto() Dim fname Dim fpath fpath = "C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Desktop\" fname = Format(Now, "MDD_hhmm") ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fpath & fname End Sub But in addition to the result of the date code, I would like the filename result to contain a prefix using the contents of a partcular cell of the original workbook (3 letters that represents a customer code) which would allow us to sort the files saved by customer in the saved directory.

    - If statement formulas I have two sheets in a workbook. One called Availability, and the other called schedule. The availability tells what time my employees are available to work and it look like this: A1 B1 C1 Name Start End Tom 6 AM 2 PM Jason 9 AM 5 PM John 1 PM 9 Pm Susan 8 AM 4 PM In the schedule sheet look similar to availability sheet accept it has one more column that will if I schedule an employee that will have a time conflict with availablity sheet. Look like this. A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 Name Start End Jason 8AM 5 PM Not available before 9 am Susan 8 AM 6 PM Not Available after 4 pm John 6 Am 12 PM Only available from 1pm to 9 pm Tom 6 AM 2 PM Notice I added three more column. One tell a statement such as "Not Available Before", "Not Available After", and "Only Available From". The other two column tell if Column D has a statement such as "Not Available before", then column E specify the time that particular employee not available before what time. Similary, with "Not Available after" column E specify the time that particular employee not available after. Similary, if column D statement says the time is out of range or "Only Availbable From", specify the start time in E column and end time in F column. If time is within range then don't do anything or display blank. Notice the names of my employees in shedule sheet are not in order with the name of my employees in the availability sheet. I probably need vlookup formulas as well? What formulas do I put in cells of Column D, E, F the get the deserve effect from above? Thanks Tag: HOW TO OPEN APROTECT EXCEL FILE. Tag: 968713

A little more detail is needed before we can help.

If the file is "workbook protected" as described in the below link,
http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/usertips/tip022.htm
you either need to remember the password or find another way of "breaking"
it which I don't support/condone but you can easily find by Googling a few
key words...
