Tool for removing unwanted/obstructive/redundant characters
I've lately come across numerous questions on how to remove redundant/unwanted leading and trailing spaces. Question: Does the latest and greatest Excel 365 offer a ready-to-use and robust tool that facilitates this job with the least effort?
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.
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 To Create a Gauge-Style Doughnut Chart that Includes Negative Numbers & Greater than 100% Values
Hello, I need to create a gauge-style doughnut Chart that not only shows the 0% - 100% range, but that will also show ranges that fall below 0%, or that go over 100%. By following tutorials on YT, I've made gauge-style doughnut charts that look like this... ...and different charts that combine 2 doughnuts to look like this... (combining 2 tutorials) As much as I like the chart above with the 100 slices, the solid-fill chart works best for the spreadsheet I'm working on since I have to reduce the size down to very small (and the slices don't show up very clear when zoomed down so small), since I need to visually see up to 23 charts (one for each day of the month) on a single sheet, like this... These doughnut charts are rotated to a 270-degree angle and the 0% - 100% values work fine, but when given a value of minus 0%, the gauge doesn't work properly (rather than the gauge going the opposite direction, it fills part of the gauge...in the same direction as it would when a positive number is given. And when a value of greater than 100% is given, it doesn't go beyond the 100% level. In order to visually describe what I'm trying to achieve, I've created in Photoshop what I need the chart to do, I hope that's OK. Here is a picture of the chart (no Photoshop) that works perfectly fine when no value less than 0% or greater than 100% is given. (The inner (purple) doughnut represents the "daily target" which is always going to occupy the 0%-100% range, since that never changes. The outer (blue) doughnut represents the "actual" figure...and this figure will very often be either a negative value, or a value greater than 100%)... Here is a Photoshop'ed picture...showcasing what I would like the outer doughnut (the "actual" value) to look like when a negative value is given to it... And here is another Photoshop'ed picture...showcasing what I would like the outer doughnut (the "actual" value) to look like when a value greater than 100% is given to it... Thank you so much for your time! I would appreciate any help in being able to create this gauge chart that allows for negative values and values over 100%. Kind Regards, Nathan
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.
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?
