  18. Hi I am trying to create a template workbook for some data analysis. I have worked it up but now need to delete the data and save it as a template.

    I was just wondering if you have a workbook that has a VBA code attached if it is save as a macro enabled workbook do you have to add the code again when you reopen the workbook?

    Many thanks,

    Karen

    1. Karen:
      When you put the VBA in the module and saved it, the code would be in Excel. It would be available to be called from inside that workbook. Click Alt-F8 and you can see what code is available in that workbook. You should see the names of the modules you built and saved.

  19. Dear Sir / Madam.
    I have made a user form with 7 entries. I would like to have an Even number to become a Red font through my user form. So if the number is 346 then this number and all the other 7 boxes become a red font. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what to write.

    3) A1:A10 = 1 then B1:E10 =50

    I am able to create only for if B1:E10 >/<50.

  38. I went through the steps above to add VBA code to my spreadsheet, however, when opening the macro, there is nothing listed for selection. Why is that? (In other words, I can see the information through ALT + F11, but when selecting ALT + F8, the macro is not there).

  40. I want to save a running total from a cell in Excel and wondered can this be done? I have a formula to put the total in a cell on a certain date but when the date has passed it clears the cell again and I want the running total on that date to be captured. My formaula in excel to capture data on a certian date is:- =IF(D2=(DATE(2017,6,11)),D3,0)

    Thanks for any info, Cheers Trev

    How to run macro in MS Task scheduler, please help me.

  43. Hi,

    I am trying to create a button in excel that when clicked it, will add 1 point to a score on different sheet (sheet 2). I can't seem to find out if this is possible, and if it is, how to do it.

    Ideally I want to have multiple buttons so I can create scoring charts (team 1's score in B1, team 2's score in B2, etc) but you won't be able to see it until you go on to sheet 2.

    Any help would be gratefully received!

  44. A notification bar appears which reads:
    Be careful! Parts of your document may include personal information that cannot be removed by the Document Inspector

  48. I've followed all the steps, but I'm having a problem with the code doing what I need. Instead of adding the dollar amounts in the cells that have a specific colored background, I'm getting how many cells have that colored background. Example: 5 green cells with $20 in each of them, the code gives me $5 when it should be $100.

  49. I need to Increment 50 by 0.64 everyday at 8:00 AM and I would like to automate it. I've already have a Now function that updates every second, I also need a way to start it when Excel is opened.

  50. Where/how do I see the results, after I run the code above?
