Hi Friends,
I have created a form in excel with a text box.
I would like to add a monthly calendar with Current Day Highlighted.
I have 10 team members using this excel (Individual Work book from share drive).
Is this possible. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Nianchi111.
I have a 12 month calendar. All 12 months are within Range C5:Y39.
FindString = Format(dValue, "d") is only finding the first instance (current Day) which is Jan.
Changing the format value to "m" gets me into Feb., but with the wrong day. I've tried every Format value I can think of and they all fail completely except for d & m.
I can't get it to find the proper month with appropriate day.
Any direction would be much appreciated.
Code:
Sub FindDate()
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
Dim dValue As String
dValue = Date
FindString = Format(dValue, "d")
If Trim(FindString) "" Then
With ActiveSheet.Range("C5:Y39")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox Rng.Value
Application.Goto Rng
Else
MsgBox "Nothing found"
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
I hope someone can help me. I need a simple formula to show the current month in cell A1. The results need to be January, February, not 1, 2, 3.
I need to count the number of calendar days in the correct month. As long as the days are in the same month no problem to count. However when calendar days are in 2 months I need to appoint those days to the right month. How can I handle this without creating additional columns with a manual end month date and start month date. (example: 20 Jan until 15 Feb)
Hello ,
I've got a Word document that I want to insert the current month's name and year, but the day of the month will never change.
So, in January I would see "January 26, 2009", Feb. would be "February 26, 2009", next year it would be "January 26, 2010", etc. It will always be the 26th, but the month and year will change each month.
Are there ways to set this up? I've looked in the fields you can include, but the date format doesn't contain just the month or just the year.
Thanks in advance....
Hi
I have developed the pop-up calendar in excel using VB and macro. Now I am able to open a pop-up calendar by double clicking in a cell of any spread sheet.
I have one requirement.
Assume I enter a date by selecting from the pop-up calendar in a cell, say for example, I enter 25/09/2010 as date in cell.
When I open the pop-up calendar in another cell, I want the pop-up calendar to open 'Sep' month.
Presently, it is opening the current month instead of the month value entered in the other cell.
Please advise.
Regards
Srinath
Special thanks to T. Valko for helping me with my prior thread.
I need to take his advice a step further.
This is the formula he provided (updated to meet my specific needs):
=SUMPRODUCT(--('3-FactoryCalculation'!$L$3:'3-FactoryCalculation'!$L$5000=1),--('3-FactoryCalculation'!$C$3:'3-FactoryCalculation'!$C$5000="Base"),--(TEXT('3-FactoryCalculation'!$R$3:'3-FactoryCalculation'!$R$5000,"mmmyyyy")=TEXT(NOW(),"mmmyyyy")))
It only counts projects on Sheet 'FactoryCalculation' if:
Column L has value of 1
Column C has value "Base"
Column R has a date which falls within the present calendar month, whatever month that may be.
Is it possible to use this sort of formula to only count projects in that same sheet whe
Column L has value of 1
Column C has value of "Base"
and Column R has a date which falls within the PREVIOUS month, i.e. the month that is always just prior to the present calendar month
This is required so that every month when we have our monthly Operations Review, we can easily look at all data for the entirey of the previous month.
Hi everyone!
Hope you are all great. I am writing today because my manager came to me with a question and I would like to know if it is possible....She asked me if a calendar can be created and managed in Excel, like some sort of tool on which you can add a task, for example with a recourrence of two weeks and that automatically the excel adds it to the calendar created.
I know there are codes to create the calendars, can the calendar tasks be managed with codes? I do not know if I am explaining myself right, please let me know what you think.
