Submitted by gabriel1andreescu on 16 December, 2012 - 22:28Hello,
Grateful if you guide me to solve the following problem:
I'm trying to automatically copy data from a range of cells from a desktop Excel file to an Excel table embedded on a website, by pressing a button on the desktop excel file. The embedded table is hosted on MS Skydrive. Then, during the same session, I want the calculated data from a range of cells of the web embedded table to be copied on the desktop Excel file. The web embedded table can not be downloaded, nor can it be fully opened, but it can be directly edited on the website.

selcet statement verses if then statement looking to speed up macro
Submitted by DGWORK on 11 December, 2012 - 23:14THIS CODE WORKS with the if then statements its just slow as a snail . I tried converting the code lines into a select statement. When I use the select case statements several of my test scenarios came up with the incorrect answer. Not sure why the code does not work on all of the scenarios when converted to a select statement. The reason why I am attempting to change this to a select case statement is to enhance the speed on computing the macro. Can someone tell how I can speed up this macro or tell me what the select case statement should look like for this code.

Automating allotment
Submitted by A Kumarsreenivas on 5 December, 2012 - 20:05Hi Team
Please find the attached Query sheet.
I have some 100 documents in column-A of sheet-1.
I have to distribute those equally between say 4 operators as shown in column-B.
Operators' list is placed in sheet-2.
Please let me know if there is any smart way to do this rather than copy-paste each operator name and then duplicating down.
Please suggest a pure excel way without getting into vb scripting.
Thanks & Regards
Kumar.
Please find the attached tested sheet.
Thanks & Regards
Kumar.
