AWS Simple Calculator Results to Excel
Submitted by iassenymk on 24 June, 2015 - 19:38I am working on an analytical problem where some information from the Amazon EC2 calculator would be needed.
I have a spreadsheet that will perform some criteria analysis and for each iteration I will need specific cost of services provided by AWS.
My solution invokes, in a user form, AWS simple calculator, allowing the user to specify the type of services he will use from AWS, then by pressing a button, placed on the same user form the value of his Total Monthly payment must be parsed to a cell in the main workbook. That operation should be repeated for each of the test scenarios.

select and edit multiple data points, graphs in one chart
Submitted by sarandi on 24 June, 2015 - 13:30Hi,
I have a chart with 10 different Y data series and one x data series. Points are linked together with lines for Y1, and another graph for Y2 and so on. Y1 lines are colored as red, Y2 as blue, and so on in different colors.
I can change the color of the first graph Y1 by selecting this and changing the line color to black. I can change the color of the second graph Y2 by selecting this and changing the line color to black. And I can do so until I got mad.
Can someone expert tell me how to select all the graphs and just change the color in one step for all my series?
Changing text and colour of a cell linked to another cell
Submitted by Peter13111 on 24 June, 2015 - 01:30Hello,
I understand how to reference a cell to have the same text as another cell in a different worksheet, but how do you also get excel to change the color to be the same?
ie Sheet 1: I change A1 to Red fill and the text ABC
Sheet 2: B1 automatically changes to Red fill with ABC as text
Thanks

Copy/Rename a file (excel vba)
Submitted by J.Hall on 23 June, 2015 - 17:55I currently have an Excel macro that copies a file specified in cell B6 and renames the file using the value in cell D6. Cell B3 and D3 contain the source and destination folder paths. When I run the macro it works great. However, I'd love to be able to copy/rename multiple files based on a cell range (e.g., D6:D100) instead of just one cell (D6). So essentially creating a loop until the last "rename" value is reached within the range of D6:D100. I've provided my current working code below:
-----BEGIN CODE-----
Sub CopyRenameFile()
Dim src As String, dst As String, fl As String

Compare/Contrast Two Tables of Data
Submitted by AJKim94 on 18 June, 2015 - 14:02Hi All,
I have two tables of data that I would like to compare & contrast. The data in table1 and table2 consists of three colums: date, player ID and score.
For every date and player ID in table1, I would like to highlight the scores in green that match the score for the corresponding date and player ID in table2. Additionally, for every date and player ID in table1, I would like to highlight the scores in red that do not match the score for the corresponding date and playerID in table2. All non corresponding data can be left alone.

A workbook that automatically installs macros
Submitted by lexxb3 on 9 June, 2015 - 14:35Hi,
I have a few macros tha I have written and I would like to be able to distribute them to work colleagues. The macros are stored in the personla.xlsb file, on my pc. Office version 2010.
Ideally I would like to have a workbook, in which there are separate buttons to install each macros. The colleagues would open this workbook and install the macros that they want. This workbook would access the personal.xlsb file (which I would place on a network drive), copy it onto the colleague's computer and then install the macro in the ribbon and assign it an icon.

Look up value, return a value
Submitted by tammyradencic on 8 June, 2015 - 18:40I don't think this should be too hard:
I need to see if the data in column B has the word "TRUE". If it does, then I need the data from that same row from column A put into the same row, column C. So in this example, cell B2 has the word "TRUE" so I need 50 to be put into C2.
Thanks for any help!

Sorting a Pivot Table by Column Headers - Largest to Smallest
Submitted by proximo on 5 June, 2015 - 14:41Hello,
I have the following data in Excel (see attached file).
I am looking to create a bar graph (sorted from largest to smallest) which can be filtered by "business unit", "Team" and "Sub-team". I only require a summary view, not the individual employee scores. I want the graph to automatically update and sort (largest to smallest) when a filter is selected (want to avoid the use of macros). I am thinking a pivot table would be best.
Can someone please help me out with this.
Thanks!
