I need to create a report (for printing) that has two sections. The top section contains the scorecard, and the bottom section contains the drillthrough information for any "red" items in the scorecard.
The scorecard is currently a PowerPivot table with conditional formatting. If the scorecard has 3 "red" cells, then I can double-click on each of the red cells to drillthrough to the details. However, I would like to display those 3 drillthrough tables in the same worksheet below the scorecard, so I can print both the scorecard and the drillthrough details all at once.
I'm looking for a solution that is automated. Each time I print out the report, I can do a lot of copy and paste, but I rather not. I'm looking for a solution that is as automated as possible - so the bottom section of the report will always contain details for anything that is red in the scorecard. I'm open to using VBA.
Thanks!
I would suggest to use VBA. However first store a list of sheets in one of your sheets for your VBA code to use. Create the following subroutine in your Workbook code section to have the trigger for when a new sheet is selected:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Now add code to this subroutine to verify if the sheet selected was already present in your workbook by checking against the list.
If it wasn't in the list yet, check if there is a table on the sheet.
If there is a table on the sheet have its content copied/moved to your report sheet to a specific range and delete the drill through sheet again (and remove it from the list). Have the code select your report sheet again!
If there was NO table on the sheet add it to the list of sheets

I have a large file with a Scenario Manager, where changing a single cell on the Summary worksheet changes the visible scenario throughout the rest of the workbook. Data Tables are working a treat providing the headline values for each option.
I'd like to have a drop down on each sheet that when changed will change the same single cell on the Summary worksheet, so I don't need to go back to the Summary sheet every time I want to switch visible scenarios.
This is a simple process if I'm using macros and would be the solution I'd normally jump straight to. But this needs to be done without macros and this is where I'm now struggling.
Does anyone know if this is possible (without macros) and point me in the right direction?

You can insert combo box (Developer Tab > Insert > Form Controls > Combo Box) on each sheet. Mention linked cell as a cell of the summary sheet (Absolute reference with sheet name). That cell will give you index of the item selected in the drop down list. Then you can insert index formula in the cell you want to change every time to get value of the drop down list. Once you insert it on one sheet you can copy it to other sheets. No macros required.
In Excel, I have 4 column headers (Id, Name, Age, Place).
I have 3 Excel worksheets with same column headers and different data.
I want to make a consolidated worksheet and the constraint is I have to check whether the column header is the same in all 3 worksheets and move it into the consolidated worksheet.
In the 1st worksheet I have values in the first row.
In 2nd worksheet, the first row is empty and the second row has data.
In 3rd worksheet, the first and second rows are empty and the 3rd row has data.
The 4th worksheet is the consolidated one. I want all 3 worksheet's data in this sheet.
How to do it with macros in vba?
There's built-in functionality for data consolidation.
You'll need to move your data so it's all on the same row but in the end will probably be much easier than writing code from scratch.
How to consolidate
Follow these steps to consolidate several worksheets into a master worksheet:
If you haven't already, set up the data in each constituent sheet by doing the following:
Ensure that each range of data is in list format. Each column must have a label (header) in the first row and contain similar data. There must be no blank rows or columns anywhere in the list.
Put each range on a separate worksheet, but don't enter anything in the master worksheet where you plan to consolidate the data. Excel will do this for you.
Ensure that each range has the same layout.
In the master worksheet, click the upper-left cell of the area where you want the consolidated data to appear.
Note: To avoid overwriting existing data in the master worksheet, ensure that you leave enough cells to the right and below this cell for the consolidated data.
Click Data → Consolidate (in the Data Tools group).
In the Function box, click the summary function that you want Excel to use to consolidate the data. The default function is SUM.
Here is an example in which three worksheet ranges have been chosen:
Select your data.

If you want to automate the process, record a macro as you performs the necessary steps and then you can edit as required.
See: Recording a Macro to Generate Code as well as Revising Recorded Visual Basic Macros. If you're not familiar with Excel (or whatever you're planning on automating with VBA), do that before attempting VBA.

I have an Excel workbook(s) that have worksheets with formulas for similar products. In the form I created on the worksheets, there is 2 drop down list that work together. (C2) "style" (D3) "version" drop down used for less type-o errors when putting in entries.
What I am wanting to do is, from the selected drop down entries picked, to select worksheet "section A1: J13" and copy to a new sheet for printing and saving. There can be 3 that fit on page.
Currently filling on each sheet and copy and pasting to new new one to print. Resources I have available... Excel 2017, Access 2017, and VB 6.0.
I found How to copy rows of from one sheet to another sheet using vbscript which was helpful. But not there yet. Attached screen shot of control sheet, list, output. The yellow spots calculate the info on sheet. Can't upload picture not enough rep points..
I have a workbook with Combo Boxes on each Worksheet that are linked to the same data range. To help prevent bad data entry I would like to link Combo Boxes with the Same Data. For example each worksheet has a Country combo box. When the Country is selected on Sheet1 I want it to set the Country selection on all subsequent worksheets with a Country combo box.
I'm working with Excel 2007.
Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can get them to update with the selected field but they lose all the other data ie: the other options pulled in from the range of Countries.
Cheers.
When your question is how can I select a country from a combobox in sheet1 and use the same value in all the other sheets in the same workbook, the answer is to reference the cells in the other sheets to the cell in sheet1 where the selection was made. In other words remove the country selection comboboxes from all sheets EXCEPT the first one and let the selected country on the first sheet drive the data on the other sheets (e.g. sheet1$A$1 or even better use a defined name!).
Alternatively, you could create a VBA script (on_change) for every sheet which is executed when the country code cell is changed on that sheet. The script reads the latest selected country, then puts the selected country value in e.g. sheet1$A$1. You would still reference all other sheets from this single controlling cell ($A$1) though.
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.
