Question and Answer
Using a Form to Populate a Table probably using Index/Lookup functions
Submitted by Fatz_Sh on 19 March, 2013 - 15:11Hi There
I would like to create a table which reports values from various sheets, depending on which options I select for the table in the form.
In the attached example I have sales data on three sheets: Cheese, Milk and Yoghurt. The format of each sheet is exactly the same, only the Brand Names are different (although I have the same number of brands on each sheet).
I want to create a summary table on Sheet 1, where I can select a parameter in each of the yellow highlighted cells (I would like this to be form controls), and it should return a table for me.

How to Turn OFF a Worksheet_Change Event "after" a single event?
Submitted by Batch on 18 March, 2013 - 12:32I'm a newbie to VBA so please be patient.
I have a live data feed in cell D18 and it's changing constantly though my aim is to capture the first time it populates(first Event) with a number each morning and copy it into cell F18(locked down)...the code below captures "every" change(event)in the cell though all I need is the first change then to exit the sub completely?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("D18"), Target) Is Nothing Then
'MsgBox "D18 has changed"
Range("F18").Value = Target
End If
End Sub

Digital Signature Expiration - Company Out Of Business
Submitted by Hack1999 on 12 March, 2013 - 14:31Unfortunately in this economic climate, too many businesses are closing up shop. With this said, the software I currently uses pushes reports out in Excel 2003 that are digitally signed. As the company has gone out of business, is there a way to resign the reports? I do not have the original key to take their digital signature off, but I have purchased my own digital signature. Can someone please explain the best course of action or any suggestions as to what I should do?
THANKS!

Shift Scheduling (Stuck for 1wk and counting)
Submitted by sean_weijie on 10 March, 2013 - 14:44Hi,
I have chanced upon this forum and decided to join as I believe in its success.
Please refer to the link for reference.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kmpjes783lgju7/Shift-scheduling.xlsx
I am having trouble with shift scheduling and will greatly appreciate any form of solutions/suggestions.
I will need a formula that's able to produce the names available for the camp (reflected in Cell K2). So as such, when K2 changes, the list (Cell K5 onwards) of people available changes too.
Any inputs or suggestions as to how to approach it? Thank you very much!!!

Macro stops running if date is not in past...
Submitted by cava30 on 9 March, 2013 - 21:10Sorry everybody but when I thought I was getting to grasps with this it's all going down the hill.
The code bellow checks for;
W17 which is a delivery date field. This is working correct. It displays message if date is in the past.
Now the problem is, if date is in the past I get message and if ok then the macro runs to the next step and checks for cell AX17 processed by.
Now if date is not in the past the macro does not carries on to check AX17, it just stops...
Where in the code bellow am I going wrong please?
Thank you.

STDEV IF when IF="0"
Submitted by stella12 on 8 March, 2013 - 23:54Hello,
I am attempting to calculate standard deviations separately for different conditions (the equivalent of the AVERAGEIF function but for standard deviations).
Sheet 1, Column F contains which condition the row is (values = 0, 0.5, 0.75, etc.)
Sheet 1, Column G contains the data I want to calculate standard deviations with
Sheet 2, Column A specifies the conditions (values = 0, 0.5, 0.75, etc)
The following array formula seems to be working:
=STDEV(IF(sheet1!F:F=sheet2!A3,sheet1!G:G))

I have tested the following macro which works to an extent.

Const MySheet = "Sheet1"
Const MyRange = "A10:B45"
Set r = Worksheets(MySheet).Range(MyRange)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(r.Columns(2)) < _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(r.Columns(1)) Then
MsgBox "Qty missing!", vbInformation
On Error Resume Next
Application.Goto r.Columns(2).SpecialCells(4)
On Error GoTo 0
Cancel = True

Highest Category
Submitted by MLD on 3 March, 2013 - 18:52Hello all,
First of all, I apologise if I have registered myself on a forum purely for experts interested in advance use of Excel. I'm afraid I only use it for very basic things in comparison!
I have recently been experimenting with a basic financial spreadsheet to keep a running log of costs over six categories per month, with each category named at the top of the sheet. At the bottom there is a running total column for each category.

Problem with Pivot Table column data appearing in pivot table charts...
Submitted by keeganpj on 2 March, 2013 - 16:53Ok, i have this problem that i can not figure out for the life of me.
I have a pivot table. In the row data i have the months. No problem here.
In the column data I have projects and in the data fields are the costs of those projects. Again, no problem here.
Suppose i have 4 columns in the pivot table labeled Project A, Project B, Project C and Project D. again, no problem here.
I create a pivot chart based on the table data fine. The chart is a shale, or area chart with stacked areas on on the other.
I want to them to appear in the same order as they do in the pivot table...
