I need all cells in a row to highlight a certain color if the data in one cell contains a specific word. What I specifically want is for an entire row to turn grey if the status cell contains the word "SHIPPED." I know how to make that specific cell highlight the color I want, but not the entire row of the sheet.

Hello , I would like to add date picker on an excel sheet. The goal is to create an excel file and have this sent to users to fill in. When filling the excel, and click on the start date, a calendar dropdown should appear and users select the date from the calendar so as to eliminate different date format and make it unique across the document.

Copying records from a source into excel, each record copies over as either 2 or 3 lines. Nearly every record contains a unique line with the word "search" in it. I don't need those lines in my spreadsheet, but don't know how to write a macro that will delete only rows that contain that specific word. I'm sure its simple, but my programming knowledge is minimal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Solved543KViews0likes9CommentsHow can I extract URL from hyperlinks?

Hello, I have a very large workbook with many formulas across different sheets. I currently have this workbook set to manual calculations only. And it is saved in a Sharepoint Directory with autosave enabled. When the source data for this workbook is updated. None of the formulas are updating when 1. The Calculate Now button is pressed. 2. The workbook is set back to automatic calculation. 3. When the work book is manually saved and closed. I have noticed another issue. When I go to File > Options. The Options dialogue never appears. I am wondering if anyone else have experienced this issue, and if so have been able to successfully troubleshoot the problem?453KViews0likes5Comments
