Let's say, if two fields in one column has been filled with numerical increament, i. Now I want to fill the whole column with this increament pattern till row A20. One thing we will all do is to left click on the fill handle and drag it down to row A20. But if the task is to fill to row 500, the mouse draging sometime won't be easy to locate the row. I am wondering anyone can help me to find the keyboard shortcut equivalent to that drag fill handle action. Thanks Posted this on the Ozgrid forums, but haven't gotten any help yet, so I thought I'd try here too! I've been having a strange problem lately. I have a fairly lengthy macro that works perfectly most of the time. Occasionally it will run as expected but as soon as the macro ends, excel becomes unresponsive to mouse-clicks. When I click anywhere trying to select a cell, or an excel menu item... BUT, if I use the keyboard arrow keys, I can see that the active cell selection moves accordingly. Then it gets really strange - when I have a cell highlighted and press any key to input text, it gets duplicated. I don't understand what's going on at all. I can't think of anything in my macro that would have these kinds of effects. I've made sure that screenupdating is turned back on at the end of every procedure. If I go into the VBE, I can manually run procedures and they all work fine. The only way I've been able to get back to normal is by force closing excel altogether and re-opening. When it gets locked up like this, I can still do anything in the VBE edits cells, run macros, etc. If I'm in the excel window, I can click alt on the keyboard and the shortcut keys for the menu come up, but I can't go deeper than that by clicking the letter shortcuts, they do nothing. If I use the delete key to delete the contents of a cell, then it gets deleted. But if I type anything else numbers, letters, or symbols then it types 2 instances of the key every time, yet when I hit enter, nothing changes in the cell. I also can't really bring focus to the excel window if something else ie. If I hit the save button in the VBE since I can't click anything in the excel window , then it seems to snap out of it and go back to normal. I tried searching for anything simmilar to this and can't find anything... Any help would be much appreciated. This is driving me nuts! We have a workbook that does not allow us to use the Move or Copy command. When we right click on the worksheet and select Move or Copy, we are able to check the box to make a copy, but when we click OK nothing happens. We have checked to make sure that the workbook and worksheet: 1. Are not protected 2. That there are no hidden worksheets 3. That there are not worksheets that exist with the same name 4. That not all the worksheets are selected There are only two worksheets in this workbook. Any ideas of why we are unable to make a copy of this worksheet within the same workbook or to another workbook? I would like the contents of a selected active cell to be displayed in a certain other cell, say R4. When another cell is selected and active, that cell's contents should be displayed. I have an array of 9 columns and 20 rows with equity symbols and conditionally formatted to show the severity of price movement in either direction. Instead of typing in the value of whatever cell a trader is looking at I would like for them to just be able to click on the cell and have that symbol copied into R4 so some detailed information can be displayed for them. Can't find a thing about this on any forum or msdn. Hope I'm explaining this at least somewhat clearly. I have set up a workbook that is sent out to lots of different users. They each keep and use their own copy. I have set it up so that everything looks OK and is visible on MY screen, but I'm conscious that some users may have different screen sizes, different toolbars set up, and so on, which might make some parts not immediately visible to them. I have set up an auto-execute macro which automatically sets the zoom factor to best fit, for several of the worksheets, and this works fine. Here's the code that does it. However, the file contains 8 sheets that are all identically laid out, except the number of rows is different. What I want to do is go to the worksheet that has the largest number of rows it's always the same worksheet, so I know which one it is , set the zoom factor for THAT worksheet which I can do, and it always has the same number of rows , and then take THAT zoom factor, whatever it is - and it will vary depending on the user - and apply that to the other worksheets that have a similar layout. I could just go through each worksheet and zoom it automatically, but that would mean that some of the sheets looked very large, others very small, and I'd like them to have a consistent appearance. I could also specify a range on each worksheet that was similar to the appropriate range on the longest worksheet, and zoom that automatically, but that's not ideal either, because some of the row heights vary from sheet to sheet, and again I'll end up with different font sizes. Anyone know how to do this? I am a very advanced Excel user so this is a new one for me. When I open any spreadsheet new or already populated the black box that normally frames the active cell is missing showing which cell you have selected. Likewise when I 'select all' the sheet does not become shaded. I have not seen a single thread on this topic anywhere on the internet. Hi, I am looking to change how an active cell is viewed. For instance when you are looking at your spreadsheet you can see the active cell has a thin black border around it. I would like to change the border to a thicker one and change the color to blue or red. I am trying to make it easier to the eye so when you are working on a large spreadsheet it is immediatly apparent where you are to avoid squinting. If anyone can help me please let me know. This is definately a quick question, but I need to select a range. Select This is definately a problem of not knowing the right jargon to do so. Could someone please assist? Perhaps a better solution is to use a workaround that relies on the HYPERLINK function to refer to whatever is selected in the drop-down list. I have created a drop down list and linked each one of them to a specific worksheet. When I select them individually they link to appropriate worksheet. But when I select them in the drop down list I receive the following error when I select the Hyperlink in cell B1 as directed above. Bob Okay, so I tried for hours to find a solution to this and have finally gotten frustrated to the point where i think asking here will be my best bet. Basically I want to export data from excel worksheets to various places on a word document I had. I have created a word template as well as bookmarks for that template, as that seems to be the recommendation for performing such a task with excel. I basically have 1 constant worksheet that contains all my affiliates info Name, Address etc , which i'd like to use to populate some bookmarks in my word template, and then i have another worksheet for the previous month, indicating sales etc for that affiliate. I intend on adding a new worksheet every month that i would use to create new invoices. Furthermore, i'd really like to be able to update a new file or perhaps a new page on the same file for each company with the use of a button, similar to the one's you'd see in an access form. Let me know if you need me to clarify. What I would like to do is add a blank to the list so if I have to revert back to a blank I can just use the stylus to choose a blank from the chooser list. How do I add the option of inputting a blank from the Data Validation List bearing in mind I am using the Data Validation Source box for entering my choices directly and not specifying a range of cells? Although not a betting man I would wager there is a simple 'fix' for this but things are only simple if you know how in the first instance! I am running Excel 2011 for Mac. I have a Worksheet with a small amount of data, and when I click the Pivot Table button it automatically creates the Pivot Table in a new Worksheet. The Pivot Table data is fine, but I want it to display alongside the source data. I've tried using the Move Pivot Table option and choosing to Create Pivot Table in Existing Worksheet and choosing a source cell alongside my current data, but nothing appears. Appreciate any help, let me know if you have any further questions. Hunter Hi, Someone once showed me how if you have a a reference to a cell in one sheet you could double click on the cell and it would jump to the referenced cell in the reference cell's sheet. A1 I have workbook in which I want to save a specific worksheet to a new file with only the values saved - all data in this worksheet are references to cells on another worksheet, which is using VLOOKUP to pull data from a database. Found the following code and it gets me close, but it copies the cell references, not the values. It also allows me to specify the file name from a cell reference. I want the new workbook file to simply be saved, not opened, and a message box to display stating where the file was saved will always be in the same location on the LAN. What modifications do I make to this to get this to work per above requirements? Having searched through the many solved threads on this site, I attempted to customize some of the code to my worksheet. I figured I would ask for help, and see if anyone can provide what I am looking for. Attached is an example of what I am working on. I would like Column Q Status to determine if a row can be moved to a sheet that contains the list of all work completed, and eliminated from the original sheet. I have a problem sometimes. I will click on a cell to add information. The cell turns blue and then wherever I move, it highlights those to. No matter where I go on the page. If I Alt-Tab and work in another program on my computer, that excel page keeps highlighting wherever I move even in those other programs I know this sounds confusing. When I return to excel thousands and thousands of cells are blue. The biggest problem is that the highlighting won't turn off, no matter what. I can't select anything from the tool bars, do any work on the sheet or close the program. I can close it only with the task manager but when I open it again, the cursor is still stuck in the highlighting mode and won't perform any other functions. Do you think this is a problem with my computer, the excel program? I have changed my mouse and this didn't help. Is there some shortcut to turn off this highlight feature other than restarting my computer. Which is the only current way I can get rid of it. The file is quite large and the formulas are too. All of a sudden, the formulas stopped working except when I double click in the cell containing the actual formula. Only by double clicking on cell B3 will the program actually calculate. I'm totally perplexed and so is my IT contact. I would like to know if it is possible to deselect 1 cell after selecting many cells using the CTL-Click method. For example, you are indivdually selecting cells in a worksheet and you accdidently select a cell you dont need, how can you deselect that one cell without deselecting all of them and starting over again? My question I believe is easily solvable for you cracks of excel. I have a worksheet with a list of rows item , date, price, etc. In the last column of this list I can put an x for some of the items. On another worksheet or sheet, I need to autoamtically have a list of the items in the first list above, that have an X in the last columns. I created an example on a worksheet attached just for you to understand. I apreciate all the help I can get. Thank you so much. RG Hi peeps I want to combine data from several worksheets into one worksheet. For example, I have data in Sheet1 Columns A,B,C , data in Sheet2 Columns A,B,C , data in Sheet3 Columns A,B,C all with varying amounts of rows. All the rows contain text data. I need to combine all of the data from the 3 sheets into a single sheet, Sheet4 Columns A,B,C , eliminating the empty rows. I've been looking into this for a while, and can't find anything that really helps. Anyone got any pointers of what to look into? Any help will be beautiful. Cheers Newbie here and I don't know where to start... I'm trying to set up a macro to when data is pasted to a TEMPLATE worksheet tab it will automatically copy and paste data to another sheet based on the month value. Can someone assist or can give some direction?
