Prevent Text Box from being copied to a new sheet .
Is it possible to add a text box to a sheet that cannot be copied when that sheet is copied to a new tab? In other words - I have a workbook with several tabs. Tab 7 is intended to be a change order template that gets copied to a new tab for each subsequent change order. I have a Text Box note on Tab 7 that contains step-by-step instructions to other users (some users are very computer illiterate) regarding how to copy the sheet and rename the copied tab (by right clicking tab 7, selecting "Move or Copy...", selecting "move to end" and checking the "Create a copy" box. I'd like the new tab to NOT contain the instructional text box. I've read several AI generated responses and tried all of them but none of them seem to work. One of them was recreating the text box as an "ActiveX Control Text Box". That was no help at all. I got the same result. I'm using Excel 365. Thanks in advance for any help.
Excel Add Text after first character _
Hi I was asking people to help me with adding text and although I hoped they may have answer none of 30 excel day to day excel people could help me and I am hoping that there is bigger expert here so they may give me some hints I have test like this DVS.101_SERVICE-LAN-IN_172.16.25.1 DVS.2047_INTERMEDIA-WEB_test DVS.2070_cCFS_DMZExt_192.168 Now I only need to add work SYN after first red character. I have used Kutools and although good it adds this word after every _ character which is not what I want I would need to add only word SYN after first red character. It doesnt work by position because some have 8 or 9 position so that wouldnt be the patern NOt sure if excel can look and only add that word after first _ character and not the rest of the cell
Formatting a table based on todays date
I created a table that contains information the next time employees are eligible to order uniforms based on their start date. I want the spreadsheet to highlight the row for each employee based on "today's" date. I add funds to their accounts, which allows the employee to order their uniforms when they are ready for new ones. I created a table that includes conditional formatting. Now I use "Format only cells that contain". I am using TODAY() date as the criteria. I want the formula to select the entire row. Right now, it only selects the cell. I would also like for the table to email or notify me daily who is eligible. Is this question more of a VBA than conditional formatting?
IFTRUE() formula that does nothing if False
I want a built-in Excel worksheet function named IFTRUE() { IFTRUE(logical_test, value_if_true) } that is similar to the IF() function, except that it performs an action only if the test condition is True. However, it should do absolutely nothing (takes no action) if the condition is not True and should not contain a value_if_false parameter - not even an optional one. Using the formula IF() formula, such as IF(1+2=3, "True", ""), does not work for my purposes because it a writes an empty string to the target cell when the condition evaluates to False. Using the slight alternate of IF(1+2=3, "True") without the value_if_False parameter also does not work because this one writes a blank value, a zero (0), or "FALSE" to the cell if the condition evaluates to False. The reason this does not work is because assigning any value at all is not the same as doing absolutely nothing to change the value of the target cell. This is the whole point for this function because performing any action at all upon the taget cell when the condition evaluates to False imposes negative consequences for numerous other things I am trying to do within the worksheet. Even if it merely gives the cell a blank value or a value of 0/False/"", the IF() function still results in some action on the target cell, and I want it to do nothing at all if the condition parameter evaluates to False. If the condition parameter of the IFTRUE() function equates to 'False' I do not want: - A blank value written to the target/currently selected cell. - A value of zero (0) written to the target/currently selected cell. - An empty string value ("") written to the target/currently selected cell. - A triggered Worksheet.Change() for the target cell. If the conditional parameter evaluates to a value of False, simply exit the IFTRUE() function immediately and without doing ANYTHING else!! The current IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false) function equates to the following Visual Basic conditional structure: Using IF(1+2=3, "Evaluates to True", "")... If 1+2=3 Then Range("A1").value = "Evaluates to True" 'Or some other command. Else Range("A1").value = "" 'Or 0, or "FALSE"... depending on the cell's formatting. End If I want my IFTRUE() formula to do absolutely nothing at all if the condition parameter evaluates to False. So, my IFTRUE(logical_test, value_if_true) formula would, instead, equate to the following Visual Basic conditional structure: If 1+2=3 Then Range("A1").value = "Evaluates to True" 'Or some other command. Else Exit Sub End If Or... If 1+2=3 Then Range("A1").value = "Evaluates to True" 'Or some other command. End If This is somewhat similar to a Trilean custom data type I created to replace the limited Boolean data type: Rather than always being limited to the following built-in Boolean data type: Public Enum Boolean 'Indicates whether a data member, routine, property, event, event handler, or conditional statement evaluates to a Boolean state of True or False. True = (-1) 'Equates to True, yes, on, or positive. False = 0 'Equates to False, no, off, or negative. End Enum I created and often use the following custom data type: Public Enum Trilean 'Indicates whether a data member, routine, property, event, event handler, or conditional statement evaluates to an extended Boolean state of True, False, or neither. Aye = 1 'Equates to True, yes, on, or positive. Nay = (-1) 'Equates to False, no, off, or negative. Nil = 0 'Equates to Neutral, nothing, null, undefined, uninitialized, or undetermined. Neither True nor False. Neither On nor Off. End Enum Very often I need to distinguish whether a property, a function, or a variable was referenced or initialized and it actually returned a value of False, or if it has not yet actually been referenced or initialized at all. So, using a 'False' value to represent both an actual returned value of False and to indicate that the member has not yet been referenced or initialized just doesn't cut it for me - because they are 2 different things and I need to know specifically which occurred. Likewise, just as a Boolean data type sometime needs a third "neither" or "neutral" value, so too, does an IF() function sometimes needs a companion IFTRUE() function that does nothing when the condition evaluates to False, or rather, it performs an action only if the condition evaluates to True. An IFTRUE() function is easy enough to achieve using VBA. However, the IT departments at many, many companies (like my employer) block all macros and VBA within Microsoft documents. Also, allowing and using circular references in Excel at work is not an option. So, an IFTRUE() formula would very easily solve this issue. And since I've seen numerous others ask about accomplishing the same thing in other forums, I know others have a need for this feature, as well. EDIT: This formula can also evaluate to True for intentionally false (inverse) condition values, thereby eliminating the need for an additional IFFALSE() function: IFTRUE(1+2<>5, "This also evaluates to True") or IFTRUE(NOT(13+2=7), "This also evaluates to True")
Move up to next blank row after copy/paste from previous sheet.
Snowman got me rolling with code that does almost exactly what Im trying to do. After I hit end of day button Im trying to get the copied data to move up to the next blank cell in column B within a range. If I have any data in B2:B9,B11:B21,B23:B29 marked with a t next to it in column A and hit the end of day button only data in cells marked with that t are moved to the next sheet in the same cells they came from. What Ive noticed is only data in B2:B9 go to the exact same cell. B11:B21 are offset by 1, and B23:B29 are offset by 2. This is fine as the data is still moving. What I want it to do is for those ranges move up to the next blank cell in column B. So if I have data only in B4, and B6 I want that to transfer to next sheet in B2,B3. The same for the other 2 ranges. I also dont want it to overwrite anything that may already be in a cell on the next sheet. If I have "Tree" in B2 of the next sheet I want the data to go to B3,B4. Same for the other two ranges. I have tried xlUp, xlDn, and played with the code that was given to me by Snowman to try and make it work. Im not getting anywhere with this. I thought maybe if I create another macro that after I transfer the data would move everything up into blank cells then Id be okay with that also. Im not having any luck with that either. I even recorded a macro for copy/paste but that wont work if there is data in a cell already that I need to keep, and not be overwritten. I have attached a copy of the workbook. Hopefully this time it will allow it to be published with this query.
Spilled formula calculating revenue by quater or year
Hi, I am trying to create a formula takes all project from a table and spills those projects in revenues per quarter or year (both would be handy to have) and chops the revenues in those quarters or years accordingly. See the attached simple example. I know that I can use sequence in order to spill a number of months from s startindate and calculate the revenue per month, but not sure how to group that the right way. Somebody any advice how to approach? Many thanks!
Is there a way to make a Form Control Checkbox make an embedded checkbox =True
In Column B I have embedded checkboxes, while in column C, I have multiple Form Control Checkboxes in a cell. The idea is once all the Form Control Boxes are checked in a cell from column C, (lets say C2), the corresponding embedded checkbox in B2 will auto check itself, signifying all is completed in C2. I am happy to have one of the Form Control boxes activate the embedded box. Meaning. If there are 5 boxes in C2, when the 5th box is clicked (last box in the series) the embedded box in B2 gets ticked as well. Or it could be arranged where all 5 Form Control boxes have to be clicked to auto-tick the embedded box. I would be grateful either way. Below, if it helps is a screenshot.How can I adjust this VBA code to effect the sheet not the workbook
I have this code for clearing checkboxes from an inserted object, but it clears the entire workbook. Does anyone know how to adjust it to clear the sheet it is placed in. Please note I chose this code because the checkboxes are in groups and it was still able to clear the boxes. Thanks Sub Oval1719_Click() Dim sheet As Worksheet For Each sheet In Sheets On Error Resume Next sheet.CheckBoxes.Value = False On Error GoTo 0 Next sheet End Sub
How to avoid calculating the same value over and over again - performance best practice
Suppose you want to compare each cell in a range with the total average. What is the best solution in terms of performance? Place the cell with the Average formula to the left or top Place the cell with the Average formula to the right or below No need to load the Average to a dedicated cell. A Lambda wrapper for the Average does the trick. Other Many thanks.
