In excel, I want to turn the dates mentioned below to hyperlinks and with that I want to transfer the values in the next cells in the same row to another sheet. I saw that it can be done by a button but I want to do it with a hyper link.
I solved my problem by implementing a listener to the sheet that the hyperlinks are in. However, it was inefficient thus I added buttons instead programatically.

Complete beginner with VBA and I think I'm doing something majorly wrong.
So context;
Creating a user friendly sheet to do checks on items etc. To keep it as simple as possible for other people I've decided to use drop down menus to input the majority of the data and tick boxes to say when the check has been done.
From here I want to add a big old button that will transfer the data from the cells, dropdown menu and tick boxes to another sheet or workbook.
I would also need the sheet or workbook to place the date the checks were done and create a new line with the information. So that I can look at a single sheet and see the wear and tear on the equipment in one form. (layout of this can be sorted out after wards just how to get it to go to a blank line etc.)
And finally to save the document.
drop down information is linked from another sheet within the workbook.
Now I've tried some code to work it out myself and it either doesn't copy the data as the cell is blank (drop down menus) or it just shoots up an error on the VBA page.
Could anyone assist in helping me work this code out? Even if its just the command syntax's that I would need to use.
Thanks in advance

I'm trying to pull a hyperlink from a hidden sheet in excel to be used in combination with an IF command, it means there will be 3 arguments.
=IF(A24="","",VLOOKUP(A24,'Product Data '!$A$2:$AD$213,19,FALSE))
Is this possible?
Please see current formula below. How do I add for the hyperlink to be used in conjunction with the IF command as I only want the link to show if specific text is selected.
TIA
In order to use the HYPERLINK from a cell in another cell, you should write it in the HYPERLINK formula:
Something like this:
=HYPERLINK(IF(1=1,VLOOKUP("www.test.com",'Product Data '!A1:A10,1,0)))
The sheet and whether it is hidden or not is irrelevant.
I admit to not being very technical and my limit up to now has been using paste links to connect data between sheets. I now have a requirement I cannot figure out.
I have 2 workbooks I wish to automate sharing data between.
Workbook 1 contains multiple rows of data manually entered.
I need a button against each row so when it is pressed data from certain cells on that row in Workbook 1 are transferred to cells within a worksheet in workbook 2
I would be very grateful for any guidance on how to achieve this.
Many thanks!
Though you can deploy VBA to achieve this, but the same is also possible with simple formula like.
=[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1
Lets say you have two workbooks 1.xlsx and 2.xlsx and you want sheet1/column A1 value from 1.xlsx to be auto populated in sheet1/column A1 in 2.xlsx, you can simply link it with a formula like =[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1 in second workbook 2.xlsx.
So as soon as some entry is done in first cell, second cell is auto populated
However if you are looking only for vba solution do write back
I have made one worksheet. And there I don't have option for Macro Enabled, as It is going to be distributed among lots of users to fill the information.
Now the question is, there are some data validation fields in worksheet.
If I do copy any data and paste on that field column, it takes any values in that, which is not correct.
Is there any way to prevent paste on cells without Macro code?
Thank you,
If you want to prevent ANY data entry in those cells you can mark them as locked & protect the sheet with a password.
If you want to allow editing those cells but need to validate that only certain data is allowed, you can use Data Validation, Custom & enter a formula.
You won't be able to use custom VBA functions but most standard Excel functions should work.
Alright I know this isn't 100% related to programming (the Excel book in question doesn't use VBA at all) but I'm hoping someone can help me out with this or point me in the right direction.
My boss got a spreadsheet from a vendor that has a combobox/dropdown list with various part numbers; when you select one it populates the rest of the form with a lookup containing additional items. I've been tasked with "cracking" this and finding the list that they're using to populate so we can make use of it.
The thing is... there's no VBA code, no macros, no data connections, and only one Worksheet displayed in Excel while the lookup code references a Sheet1. I've tried to display hidden worksheets and it says there are none... so where on earth could this list be kept? My boss is getting impatient and is asking me if I've broken it yet. It's not a big deal if it can't be done, I just have no clue where to continue looking for it and I don't know what to tell my boss when he asks me if I'm done.
Can anyone help?
It's possible to hide a worksheet using VBA so that it can't be unhidden from the UI.
Try the method for un-hiding all hidden workhseets outlined here:
http://www.automateexcel.com/2004/12/14/excel_vba_unhide_all_worksheets/
My guess is that it is a Data Validation list which references a constant list of values or a range on a "Very Hidden" sheet. In Excel 2007, select one of the cells with the drop-down, click on the "Data" tab in the Ribbon, click on "Data Validation" in the Ribbon and see what you have. In Excel 2003 it is the Data -> Validation... command.
Another possibility if you know the name of the worksheet is "Sheet1" is to add a new worksheet, enter "=Sheet1!A1" into cell A1 of the new worksheet, and copy this cell down and to the right for as large of an area as you need to see the data you are interested in.
If you can post a URL to download the workbook (assuming it is not a trade secret) you would be more likely to get an accurate answer.
Could it be some data stored on the same sheet.
Possibly in columns which are either hidden, or which are far off the actual page?
Isn't this just data from the worksheet only?
Column header dropdown lists acts as filters, they show distinct values of a column.
This is a feature of Excel.
The items could be cached from a currently unavailable resource. Try saving it out to xml and searching for a known string.
Click on the cell that display a drop down list when selected
From the menubar select data>validation
In the dialog box copy the content of the source text box
Now paste the content on any empty cell on your worksheet
Select a drag it down to see the values populating the list

I am assuming that you have broken this by now, but just in case you havent. This is certainly a case of data validation using a named range which is house on another sheet that was designated "very Hidden" from the vba console. You will need to open up the VBA project of this worksheet and designated the "very Hidden" sheet to just Hidden and then you will be able to unhide it, or the other setting at which point it will be viewable.
