  28. 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.

  29. 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.
    Thanks and Kind regards

  47. Hi,

    Please help me. I want to color cell background by comparing with cell value and one more cell value. Example: Col A (1:10) has values 0 & 1. Col B:E (B1:E10) has values of 1-100. Color B1:E10 if the value of cell >50 & A1 equal to 0. Total four colors and four conditions.
    1) A1:A10 = 0 then B1:E10 =50
    3) A1:A10 = 1 then B1:E10 =50

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

    Thanks,
    Ravi

  48. 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).

  50. 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
