Excel 2003 extract repeating cells
I have successfully sorted my data to show repeating entries in relation to two specific columns. I can't seem to figure out how to select these repeating entries (without doing it manually, of course) and putting them either into their own column(s) or an entirely different spreadsheet altogether. The goal is to save time in managing THOUSANDS of documents in this manner so that my colleagues can easily pick up repeating entries and take according action. Doing it manually is very time-inefficient. Nit Wit, You don't really describe enough of your layout or what you actually mean...

chart label reference based on the column number
In a worksheet with an embedded chart, I have a cell, S4, where I enter the number of the column I want to chart (these numbers are listed as labels in cells A2:R2). I can't figure out how to translate the number in S4 into the corresponding column letter. For example, if S4 contains "3", the chart title should be =$C$2. I think working with absolute references, R1C1, might be easier here, but somehow what I've tried, didn't work (the entire spreadsheet is based on relative addresses (A1). z.entropic in a cell (Z100) put =index(A2:G2,1,S4,1) Change G2 to whatev...

cell looses name after sorting
Can someone help me with the following problem in Excel 2000: in a table I have attached serveral cells with unique cell names, the values in these cells are used in other sheets. the problem is that when I sort the table, the cell names stay in the original rowposition; they are not sorted! while their values are. So Cell names get different values, and other calculations on my other sheets get messed up! How can I make the cell names relative instead of absolute? thankx in advance, Jim --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ "jimfx >" <<jimfx.109zcv@exc...

preview text disappears when email is opened
When someone responds to an my email, I can see what they have typed - until I open the message - then only my original message is viewable. The preview pane shows new message text when email arrives, hoever when the email is opened the preview text disappears - and I just see the earlier part of the message which I had sent. If I mark it as unread it does not return to the previous state. This seems to happen on email responses that people have received and answered from a webmail service not that they downloaded and opened in outlook on their PC OL'03 XP pro sp2 -- Respectfully,...

How can I wrap text across merged cells?
I'm using Excel 2000. I have a set of merged cells A5- E5. I have several lines of text in the cells and I want them to wrap across the merged cells and it is not working. All I get is the first line of text showing and the rest is cut off. It works if the cells are not merged, but I really need to do it in my merged cells. Is there a way to this other than manually resizing the height of the row? Instead of merging cells, have you tried the "Center Across Selection" option ? The appearence is just about identical to what you would get using merged cells, although I d...

Excel 2000 macro security Level
Hi! I am running an ASP.NET application which ideally opens an Exce spreadsheet with a macro included in it.

I tried to go to Excel 2000 and go t Tools->Macros->Security Level->Low but it still hangs when I try t open the macro spreadsheet. All works fine with the spreadsheet no containing macros, so it really is a question of macro security. But put it to low, so I don't understand how it is still not opening!!

z-order of various lines and bars in an Excel 2007 chart
What is the procedure for changing the z-order of various lines and bars in an Excel 2007 chart, such as drop lines, high-low lines, up/ down bars, and error bars? I observed that when I add drop lines to an Excel 2007 chart, they appear in front of the underlying data -- in my case, the underlying data is displayed as a plotted area. I want the plotted area to be fully visible with no lines over it. I would like to send the drop lines to the back and keep the plotted area in the front, but there is no option to do this. So, is there a procedure for adjusting the z-order of drop...

New Named Range Created Each Time Data Imported into Excel via Macro
I have noticed that each time I import data into an Excel spreadsheet via a macro, a new named range (for the same range) is created. This does not pose a problem, but after a while, I'll have a huge number of named ranges that will never be used. Why does Excel name the range and how can I stop this? I noticed in the recorded macro, there was a line .Name = "drd_5". I commented this out to see what would happen, but it just renamed the range "ExternalData_5". The next one was "ExternalData_6", etc. Thanks, Carroll Rinehart You could refresh with differen...

Formatting Cells in Excel 97

Import excel named range into Access error 3011

I am using transferspreadsheet to import a named range in an excel file into Access. This has worked beautifully until suddenly it stopped working. I find now that if I extract the address of the named range from within the Access VBA code, it looks like this: =#REF!$A$1:$Z$166 rather than this, which is what it should be: =Data!$A$1:$Z$166 When I open the spreadsheet and get the address of the named range in the immediate window, it also has the #REF error....
