I've searched and read through answers related to conditional formatting, but I can't seem to get mine to work, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have a worksheet for work. It contains a list of animals in our shelter. What I'm attempting to do is color the entire row green if they've been adopted (noted by an "X" in column "G"). I've had =$G$2="X" and =$G2="X" , but neither work. It'll only color the one row that was active when I set the rule, and when I enter "X" in another row, it does nothing. What am I missing? Ryan T =$G1="X" would be the correct (and easiest) method. Just select

I am very new to Excel. Please help Column1 A,1 B,2 C,1 D,2 E,1 output: Column2 Column3 A,1 B,2 C,1 D,2 E,1 what is the formula to do this? Thanks! Assuming your data (" A,1 , etc.") spans cells A1:A50, then: Cell B1: =INDEX($A$1:$A$50,ROW()*2-1,1) Cell C1: =INDEX($A$1:$A$50,ROW()*2,1) Then you can copy the formulas to cells below, as far as needed. These formulas "redistribute" your cells contents between the two columns, regardless of the text itself. You can use an IF condition like this as well =IF(RIGHT(A2,1)="1",A2,"") in column 2 =IF(RIGHT(A2,1)="2",A2,"") in column 3 However cells

I currently have an Excel file with 1 column and many rows. The column holds a first name, last name, and possibly a middle name (EXAMPLE: John Abe Smith). I am writing a macro that has 1 textbox and 1 button. In the excel sheet I have a couple names: Column A -------- John Abe Smith Cindy Troll Bee Randy Row Joe Jumbo Katie Kool Kat I want to write a macro that when I type something in the textbox and click the button, it will look in this column for the name. If it finds it, then just say "found" in a message box. I want to use the wildcard "*" when searching the names, but I do not know how

I am experiencing an error in a subroutine attempting to set the plotarea.width property of a chart. The other dimensions also cause this error if I comment out the preceding line(s). There is no ActiveChart, no selection, etc. The specific error message is this: "-2147467259 (80004005) Method 'Width' of object 'PlotArea' failed" This is stumping me for several reasons: In debug mode, F8 to step through the code the error does NOT occur. AFAIK "width" is not a "method" but a "property" of the chart's plotarea, so even the error message is rather ambiguous. Any thoughts? Here's as much code as

I have an Excel workbook that fires three queries to a database to populate three tables on hidden sheets, and then runs three 'refresh' scripts to pull this data through to three visible presentation sheets (one per query). Running this synchronously is quite slow: The total time to refresh is the sum of the time of each of the three queries, plus the sum of the time for each 'refresh' script to run. I'm aware that VBA isn't multi-threaded, but I thought it would be possible to speed things up a bit by firing the queries off asynchronously (thus allowing some clean-up work to be done whilst
