I am trying to select a specific cell on a noneditablecoulumn and I would like to copy the values in it.
Since the column is under non editable then I cannot even highlight the cell value.
Is there any customization needed?
thanks!

I'm using Index-Match to match Full Names with head count in that party.
I have it working but it uses both the structured and explicit cell reference.
I can't figure out why when I add a new row in my table, the column with the index-match formula wont populate the last row.
This is the formula used:
=IFNA(INDEX(AA:AA,MATCH([#[Preferred Seating 1st Choice]],D:D,0)),"")
Column AA has the head count number and column D has the list of full names.
Preferred Seating is the column used to reference the search.
I looked around and can't seem to find why it wont fill in the last row after that rown info is entered.
I can only assume it has something to do with the mixed Explicit-structured cell/column references. Any help please.
Yes Excel may not automatically assume a formula needs to be automatically filled in an entire table column if it contains unusual references. Unless you have data outside the table, you should just refer to the columns in the table:
=IFNA(INDEX([Column AA Name],MATCH([#[Preferred Seating 1st Choice]],[Column D Name],0)),"")
These can be easily entered when editing the formula by selecting all cells in the source columns excluding the heading. The formula will always use the entire
source columns and the formula should automatically fill its own entire column.
You can also control whether a column automatically has its formula updated through a hidden property. The ability to change the behavior of the column only appears through the front end when you're making changes to the column.
After entering a formula in a column, Excel will either automatically fill the entire column and give you the option to turn off the automatic fill, or Excel will not automatically fill the entire column and give you the option to turn it on.
After entering a formula that isn't being filled, this icon will appear:
Click it and then select to Overwrite all cells in this column with this formula
Deleting a formula from one cell in a column that is being automatically filled will turn off the automatic fill. Double clicking a cell with a formula and pressing enter will give you the option to turn it on again.
Want to copy all values of coloured cells in different sheets. Attaching the image for reference where I want to extract all values which have coloured cells Excel sheetsample
If you need this operation to be performed only once, you do not need to use vba. It would be easier to put filter on the top row (ctrl+shift+L), click the dropdown on the column and use filter by colour. Then you can easily mark all and copy/paste.
There is a drop-down list with numbers that was made using Data-> Data validation. The goal is to make visible only the number of rows of the table that was chosen from drop-down list without using vba (to make it more easily to edit by ordinary users). The first column of the table contains numbers corresponding to the numbers from the drop-down list. The table also contains the columns with formulas. I choosed to use conditional formating with idea that all the cells of the table will be calculated and then hide those rows of the table that are under the row corresponding to the value of cell with drop-down list. In other words it needs to dynamically change the visible rows of the table or to dynamically form the table (but there is a columns with formulas and I don't know if you can do that without using vba). I've tried different ways but this problem seems difficult for me. Maybe instead of ordinary table you need to use smart-table or power pivot but I don't have experience of using it. Thank You for Your help!
Ok... let's asume you have the value in A1.
Now for the range of B2:G20.
Conditional formatting formula: =ROW()>$A$1
In the range of B2:G20 every cell will be formated with a row higher than the value in A1
If the format is something like ; ; ; it looks empty.
Using this example and having 11 in A1 -> B12:G20 will be hidden.
However: to set Row.Hdden = true you need to do it manually or use VBA :/
What I need to do is find which cell in a row is the lowest value and highlight it. Very simple, I can do this. However, I cannot figure uot how to copy this conditional formatting into the proceeding rows. I have tried "Paste Special > Formats" to no avail.
Also, in a separate column, I to display the field name9column name) of the specific cell that has been returned with the lowest value.
Any suggestions?
I see two questions:
First, how to copy conditional formatting. Simply select the formatted data, click the "Format Painter" tool on the Home tab, and select the additional data you wish to format.
Second, how to display the cell with the lowest value.
Use the MIN function to do this. If your range is A1:A100, use =MIN(A1:A100)
Use the following: =INDEX(A1:E1,MATCH(MIN(A2:E2),A2:E2,0))
A1:E1 is the range containing your column names. A2:E2 is the row with your values. Note that if the values are not unique, this will return the first instance of the minimum value, starting from the left.
I'd like to apply some conditional formatting where each cell of a row is compared to the cell in the previous row. If it differs then the row is highlighted.
I'm using Excel 2007. Is this even possible? If so could someone provide me with the steps to apply this to an entire table of data?
Yes, it is possible. It was possible in previous versions of Excel, too.
The condition is very simple.
Select the data, starting from the second row of data (the third row counting from the header), bring up the condition formatting dialog, select "Formula" and enter =A3<>A2, =A3<>OFFSET(A3,-1,0) where A3 is the top-left cell of the selection.
Note the absence of dollar signs - Excel will automatically suggest them, so delete accordingly.
Because the reference is not absolute, the formatting will properly apply to the whole table.
You can make it even more versatile, like this:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN()))<>INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1, COLUMN()))
Here's how it works:
=ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN()) refers to the current cell (i.e. the one to be formatted).
Similarly, =ADDRESS(ROW()-1, COLUMN()) refers to the cell above the current cell. Then all I do is compare the two.
