    - sorting data from one sheet to another SHEET1 SHEET2 A B A B 1 JOBID MATERIAL 1 JOBID MATERIAL 2 8Job1 concrete 2 3 8Job2 drywall 3 4 8Job3 mason mix 4 5 8Job1 nails 5 6 8Job1 4x2 panels 6 7 7 8 8 #1) I need SHEET2 to gather & sort through data from sheet 1. I need to set it up so that when I enter a JOBID in SHEET2 A2, "ALL" materials from SHEET1 associated "ONLY" with the specified JOBID shows up in the Material column of SHEET2. #2) Data from SHEET1 will continuously be changing on a daily basis as new data (JOBID & MATERIAL) is added each day. I need to be able to set it up so that as data is entered in SHEET1, data is also being automatically updated in SHEET2. For example, if today I enter 8Job1 in SHEET2 A2; the words "concrete, nails, 4x2 panels" show in SHEET2 B2:4. Then, 5 additional materials with the 8Job1 are entered throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow morning I would like to see those 5 new items in SHEET2. NOTE: both numbers and text will be used in data cells (i.e. 8Job1). NOTE: I am using EXCEL 2007. Is this possible? Can anyone help?

    - copying cell links with fixed number in between In a column someone wants a reference to another cell. They want this for a large nr. of cells, with 15 in between =D15 =D30 =D45 =D60 and so on I can build a simple VBA module to get this done, but the whole in itself is variable (for some purposes 15, others 18, in another sheet it'll be a different column) and the user who needs to do this won't be able to change anything in the VBA stuff. They will also need this in more worksheets. I've checked 'paste special' but it doesn't seem to have any functionality for this. Any ideas? Tag: Macros help Tag: 497590

    - Fresh pair of Eyes required Hi, with the help of some excellent feedback from the User Group I have created the following formula but I am not getting the expected results The formula works finre until I put the 2nd search for a particular word.. eg This works fine =SUMPRODUCT((('Grid data'!B2:B4557=A2)*(ISERROR(SEARCH("shine*",'Grid data'!D2:D4557)*((('Grid data'!F2:F4557="NS")+('Grid data'! F2:F4557="C")+(TRIM('Grid data'! F2:F4557)=""))))))) And counts correctly, ignoring anything with SHINE in column D and only including, blanks, C and NS values. The following formula I am not getting the right results. It appears to be ignoring the search for "NON" in column E. =SUMPRODUCT((('Grid data'!B2:B4557=A2)*(ISERROR(SEARCH("shine*",'Grid data'!D2:D4557)+(SEARCH( "non*",'Grid data'!E2:E4557))*((('Grid data'! F2:F4557="NS")+('Grid data'!F2:F4557="C")+(TRIM('Grid data'! F2:F4557)=""))))))) Paul Tag: Macros help Tag: 497586

    - Sorting CF Color Hello and thanks ahead for your help. I have a row of data that is CF to turn red when true. Then I would like to sort this row to put uncolored cells to the bottom of the list. I have gone to Chip Pearsons sorting CF Colors Page and have tried ColorOfCF and ColorIndexOfCF and allways I get #NAME?. When I enter =ColorOfCF($A$1,FALSE) into theformula bar for B1, the Formula box pops up and shows all entries resuls correct (no errors) but at the bottom it shows "undefined" and the resuls show nothing (results= ), so when I click the OK Button the cell shows "#NAME?" I've placed the codes in my Sheet1 Code Box, this is the sheet I'm using to test these codes, Only A1 has a CF in it at this time.If I can get this to work I will enter data thru A10 and fill down B1 to B10 and there should be numbers in these B1:B10 cell if there is color in the corresponding cells. Right? What am I doing Wrong? Thanks again John Tag: Macros help Tag: 497580

    - VB routine to print to PDF? I'm trying to write a routine that will print a pdf page. I need to make this a routine because I have to loop through a large set of data and print a pdf page for each row of the data. My typical method for writing a routine is to record a macro and then modify the module I created. Unfortunately, when I print to pdf using acrobat distiller, the macro does not record all the steps. In particular is does not collect the filename or location. Here is the macro I created when I recorded my keystrokes: Sub pdfPrint() ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True End Sub I need to specify the filename and location in the macro (different for each row). Maybe I should be using another tool for creating the pdf files? Any help would be appreciated. Ecxel 2003/Acrobat Distiller 5 Tag: Macros help Tag: 497569

Like 5.73E+08 when the real part number is 549575667.

    - Vlookup referring to External Workbook or Spreadsheet I'm trying to use a vlookup formula and refer to a range name located in an external spreadsheet but it is not working. Formula is as follows: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($B13,'S:\Reporting\Monthly\[AVNWcategories.xls]fata',8,FALSE)) The formula is 1st checking to see if the text in cell B13 is within the "fata" range in the external spreadsheet. If the text in B13 is not found, there would be an error. If there is an error, my IF statement should return a blank cell indicated by the double quotes (""). If the formula finds the text in cell B13, the value should be picked up from column 8 within the "fata" range. Somehow this formula is not valid but I'm not sure where? I feel very stupid right now so any help would be great. Thanks Tag: Macros help Tag: 497542

However, both the lookup range and vector range are all numbers. I only want the LOOKUP function to search for LOOKUP Values that are in a certain font color (red).

    - How to multiply hours by a dollar amount Thanks to Biff for helping me get the first of my timesheet problems figured out. Now I am hoping to be able to take the amount of hours and multiply it by a dollar amount to get a total. So I want to take 25:30 (column a) and multiply that by $5 hour (column c) to get a grand total. So I put in: =a28*c28 and it gives me $3.92 which is obviously not right. Column a is formatted as [h:mm] and column c is formatted as currency which I think is where my problem is but don't know what I need to do to fix it. Thanks for any insight.

Now at row A4 I insert 4 new rows to allow room for the new data that will be copied here. The new data in the same A5 cell is 10 and needs to display 10 on the second spreadsheet. How do I stop excel from following the first A5 and populating that data on the second external spreadsheet.

I have tried using the =$A$5 but when the lines are adding the cell that carries the formula adjust to the new lines add and the calculated cell reads =$A$9.

Consider this data: Col A Col B Col C Col D Row 1 family_b bob family_b art Row 2 jim family_b bob Row 3 kirk family_d will Row 4 greg family_e sam 1) If "bob" in Col B is found in Col D AND "family_b" ($A$1 a constant) is NOT found in Col C, then "bob" in Col B turns blue. OR 2) If "bob" in Col B is found in Col D AND "family_b" ($A$1 a constant) IS found in Col C then "bob" in Col B turns red. I can accomplish either #1 or #2 separately. But i can't seem to put both together. ("bob" in Col B will turn red in above data. If I remove "family_b" from Col C then "bob" in Col B would turn blue. $A$1 will change with manual input to a different "family_x".) Thanks, casey Tag: Macros help Tag: 497503

Do you mean xlsm? You can't just rename the file .xlsm from .xlsx,
you must save it as a macro-enabled workbook. If this is what you
did, change the extension back and you'll be able to open the file -
but you won't be able to recover your macros.

I have no idea how it happened but I was told to down load a convertor for
excel (2007 convertor) and then open. It worked, and I don't understand since
I built it in 2003. I guess since I got it to work I shouldn't complain. But
it still puzzles me how this happened. Thanks for the help.
