Show all Y axis data points in chart
Submitted by Emilyfcoupons on 10 April, 2015 - 17:35Help! I created a Gantt chart to reflect deadlines over the next 5 years. With so many tasks/items listed in the y axis, Excel is reformatting the chart to only show the first 8 items. I want to show all items in the y axis - even if the chart needs to be huge. I've tried adjusting the axis interval (configured as text), min, and max values, as well as the font, but the chart only shows a portion of the total data. Any help would be appreciated. Emily
"Dead" Charts
Submitted by pbexcel on 10 April, 2015 - 08:11Good day
I have a document (attached) with various sheets each containing a number of charts and data ranges. Initially the charts were working fine, but of late it is almost as if the charts do not exist, even though they are displayed. When I select and copy a chart, it is not copied to the clipboard and therefore cannot be pasted. If I create a new chart using the same data ranges as one of the others, it looks the same and acts normal ( I can select, copy and paste it).

Frequently Used Phrases in Free-Form Text

Dim WordListSheet As Worksheet
Dim PuncChars As Variant, x As Variant

macro to lock cell by column header based on value in another cell by column header
Submitted by closet guru on 2 April, 2015 - 18:49I have a sales report containing active customers from the database and prospective customers added by the salespeople.
I want to protect the active customers' names. So, I need a macro that:

Submitted by Michael1974 on 2 April, 2015 - 16:45Hello,
Please see an attached spreadsheet that contains a Macro that will run a VLookUp to seek for the matched values. The unmatached values will come as #N/A. The goal is to after running the macro to not only find the matched and unmatched values but to copy and paste the unamatched values in another sheet.

Submitted by JoeTurner on 1 April, 2015 - 20:32What I am trying to achieve here is VBA code as I don't think I can work this up using excel formulas.
I have two tabs "Data Tab" and "Summary" that I am working with. All of my Data is consolidated on one sheet called "Data Tab" and the data on the "Data Tab" worksheet is all from formulas that check if cells are blank in different areas of the workbook. If they are not blank they are copied to the "Data Tab" worksheet.

Submitted by michaelg on 31 March, 2015 - 17:58All,
We have the ability to print and export Quickbooks Enterprise Data into excel. However, we want to compare the years 13, 14 and 15. However, the customer names can be on 1 or more of the lists or not at all. Can someone be kind and point in the the right direction as to having 3 tabs or data, same fields, different year end date and place on a new tab.
CUSTOMER 13 | 14 | 15 |
Hopefully all customers will be listed and the sales totals would be in each of the respected cells.
I sure appreciate it.

Macro or Formula to compare multiple columns to other multiple column range
Submitted by Rmartin on 31 March, 2015 - 12:12Hi,
I am working on a formula to compare two sets of columns and, if there is a match, to copy data from a specific cell. So far my formula looks like this:
=IFERROR(IF(INDEX($I$2:$I$5,MATCH(A2&B2&C2,$F$2:$F$5&$G$2:$G$5&$H$2:$H$5,0))="","",INDEX($I$2:$I$5,MATCH(A2&B2&C2,$F$2:$F$5&$G$2:$G$5&$H$2:$H$5,0))),"")
....I've attached an example sheet and what i'm after is that if there is a match between A/B/C column when compared to F/G/H columns then it returns the corresponding cell from column i into column D.

the error is: Excel cannot open the file 'blah.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.

Conditional Formating Question
Submitted by JSworth on 27 March, 2015 - 02:15I'm not sure if what I am trying to do is possible or not. If it is I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Basically what I am trying to do is if H1 contains an "x" AND there is any text at all in A1 I want the H1 to highlight green. If there is no x in H1 and there is any text in A1 I want the H1 to highlight red. I've already used conditional formatting to highlight green when there is an X the problem is I would like to be able to highlight red if there is no x without it highlighting the entire column even if there is no text in A.

VBA - coding for a column sort based on form entry with multiple options
Submitted by gemmz2902 on 26 March, 2015 - 10:35Hi All
I have created a database in excel that contains a list of materials with min and max widths, thicknesses, weight and quantities in it.
I have a search form that the users can type in the min and max amounts (restricted to numbers) that excludes rows accordingly to meet this criteria.
So far I can get it to work if they put a min OR a max in (leaving the other option blank)
what I am struggling with is how to add in the rule - if they select both a min and max
Everything I've tried so far doesnt work, but coding is by no means something I do very often or very much of.

2 Advanced filters in same active workbook
Submitted by Sameer on 20 March, 2015 - 11:262 advanced filter in same active workbook
WHERE ?
My data range is in Sheet.(Num)
My dynamic criteria is in Sheet.(criteria)
I do not need to copy my extract anywhere else , just need to count the special cells displayed.
WHAT is the PROCESS ?
There are two advanced filters in my code . Lets call them AdvancedFilter1 & AdvancedFilter2
My criteria is dynamic but with the same headings . So for both the advanced filter the headings of criteria are same , only the data below them changes.
