    Worksheet not anchored, slides around ...

    Hmm, thanks for trying it out. Are you using M365 downloaded app? I have opened a web-excel file in Office and it does not do it. I have taken a video showing the version and the behaviour. It's a bit of a mystery. oh can't load video so just added snip of version. I realise it's not the end...

    Worksheet not anchored, slides around ...

    I am using M365 Excel desktop app and find it very annoying that the sheets do not anchor to the grid. If you click & hold you can move the sheet around with the mouse, but it also pulls away from the top and left borders, so it is really floaty and can zoom off like a frisbee. This is extremely...

    Filter function - making edits or apply format to filtered selection cf old row Filter selection ...

    Thanks. I had a play with this with a simple colour format. If I use the raw data, GoTo, Vsible, <format>, it formats the whole sheet including blanks, even though Blanks was not selected. But ...when I made it a table first, and it worked a treat! So much to learn ...

    Filter function - making edits or apply format to filtered selection cf old row Filter selection ...

    I have just watched some videos about FILTER and am optimistic that it will mean that I can now change formatting etc for filtered rows, but can I have some guidance about this to get me started? Previously I did this> big collection of data, I apply Filter, tick the boxes for the rows I want...

    Creating box whisker plots from provided mean/sd, not raw data

    I work in a lab, multiple analysers running multiple tests, generating multiple quality control data points. We pull metrics every month from our QC software, in the form of mean/sd for each analyser, for each test, at several levels. I want to show this graphically rather than as a large...

    Copying conditional formatting with cell references

    I've found the solution on another website - use Formula rather than Cell Contents algorithms, select all column cells for application of formula, and create formula for first cell using eg "=$A3>=$B3". Excel will apply the formula appropriately to all selected cells. This may be really basic to...

    Copying conditional formatting with cell references

    David, if you look at the rule in the other cells, eg I7, the formula for CF is still referencing E4 & E7: See my problem :/ ...

    Copying conditional formatting with cell references

    I've looked though previous posts but can't see the answer to this one - when a CF rule involves a referenced cell, using format paint doesn't update the cell references (as happens when copying formulae) but maintains the original cell reference in the rule, so the CF in the pasted cells is not...

    highlight active row

    Thanks for the replies. It's great, I love it! Ignorance is a sad thing - I always thought Excel was just a simple glorified table, calculator & sorter but VBA is magic! Have to do a course now!

    highlight active row

    This is so simple that I must be really dense but I can't figure our how to do this - I want the whole row containing the active cell to be highlighted so I can see what I am working on, all the way across. Can someone tell me how to do this please?
