I need to find the row number of the first instance of the string 'TIMEACT
in column A. I know that it must exist at some point in column A, but I do not know where. Column A might have 100,000 entries... ie: a very large number, so I'd appreciate it if the code could be very general.
I am trying to provide a search string and then loop round searching for this search string until the beginning find cell is found again however I am having problems making my code work - here it is:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recorded a macro in Excel that copies the contents of a cell in one worksheet, then goes to another, selects a column, runs the Find command and then pastes the clipboard contents into the "Find what" field.
Naturally when I read the code back in visual basic the macro is now programmed to always search for the data I copied from the original cell. The problem is the data in that cell changes all the time so I need it to always copy whats in there and paste it into the Find what field.
I have one sheet in my workbook called 'mapping' which has a list of codes on it, the length of which will vary on a periodic basis.
I have another fairly large sheet on the workbook called 'data' (around 2000 rows) that will also vary in size. I want to do a search on the data tab for each code that is contained on column 4 of the mapping tab and if the code is found, enters the corresponding value from column 1 of the mapping tab to the cell 6 columns to the left of where the code was found on the data tab (cols H and B in this case). Hopefully that makes sense!
The issue I have is the codes maybe contained more than once on the data tab so I need the find/replace command to search the whole of the data tab and perform the task each time.
I have the following lines in my macro:
Dim LastMonth As Variant
LastMonth = Year(Now()) & "0" & Month(Now() - 1)
Cells. Find(What:=LastMonth).Activate
I am trying to find the first instance of 2007+previous month, i.e. April =04, in a data set. Not sure how to tweak this formula to make it work.
I m trying to set a range on a cell after using the FIND function in a macro and was wondering if anyone had any experience in it.
Basically, I have a spreadsheet which I am looking up a value that i stored in FID1 with the extension "_EXE"
I'm using the FIND command to find that cell and then set a range so that I can mark it but am getting an error....
I can't find the Edit Links command in Excel. where it is?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that I'm using as a call log for a support desk. Sometimes, when the problem is outside of my scope, I have to call in a ticket to a helpdesk.
I want to keep the call log separate from the ticket list, but I want to be able to reference a ticket number for a specific call or vice versa using a command button.
I want to use one button with a macro attached to it to locate data on a different worksheet. So I highlight the "activecell" I want to find on the other spreadsheet then click on the button and it goes to the correct spreadsheet and filters for the data I want (relevant to the activecell).
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am playing around with the Forfiles command (being called from Excel via Shell)..
I can't for the life of me get it apply a second command (such as getting the file size of each file)..
For example:
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Z
Z = Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c forfiles /P C:UsersapoDesktopTextFiles /S /M *.* /d
[Code]....
The end result being the filename and the filesize shown..

I have this simple formula: =IF(SEARCH("ABC",BQ239,1)>0,"Found", "Not Found")
Instead of saying Not Found when the value is not in the cell BQ239 text string I get #VALUE! returned
how do I get it to say "Not Found"? I searching for a substring that can be anywhere in the string.
Is there any way to tell (from VBA) what GUI command is currently in progress or what the last command used was?
On a wish list perhaps: Application.LastCommand and/or Application.CurrentCommand
Let's say I'm in the "Sheet_Change" event and want to know what caused the change. Was the event triggered by "Delete", "Paste", "Keystrokes" ...
AutoCAD VBA has "Begin_Command (CommandName as String)" and "End_Command (CommandName as String)" events which I find very useful. Basically I'd like to emulate that to the greatest extent possible.
Application.Caller does not seem to work for the stated purpose. I've been searching for a workaround by means of reading the "Undo Stack". Numerous articles written by experts state that the undo stack is not accessible from VBA.
I've considered reading the text from the "Undo" button's caption but it just seems like such a hack ... not that this whole idea isn't a hack
How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.
I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click
I have 2 worksheets. On the first worksheet, i enter a line of different information.
What i want the spreadsheet to do is copy and paste that info onto the 2nd worksheet - wil this require VB atall?
I have a large amount of data, of which i need to perfrom a command to show either true or false result.
H Column has a range of number from 1 through 260
L Column has different text entrys 'pen' pencil' 'tape' etc..
The aim of the formula is to show a true result
if the number in the H Column is larger than 30
if the text is equal to either pen or pencil
I am trying to get the OR command or something that may work in a similiar fashion to work on this particular formula.
=IF(ROWS($G$2:G2)<=$Z$32,SMALL(IF(DEALLIST[Sales1]=$E$9,ROW(DEALLIST[Deal'#])-ROW('DEALS 1.0'!$B$1)),ROWS($G$2:G2)),"")
In this formula I want to be able to see if DEALLIST[Sales1], OR EALLIST[Sales2] is equal to $E$9, if they are then I want the formula to continue. I have tried this but it returns every row in my table starting from row 1 through 1000.
=IF(ROWS($G$2:G2)<=$Z$32,SMALL(IF(OR(DEALLIST[Sales1]=$E$9,DEALLIST[Sales2]=$E$9),ROW(DEALLIST[Deal'#])-ROW('DEALS 1.0'!$B$1)),ROWS($G$2:G2)),"")
I have searched this topic but I came up with nothing regarding my exact situation.
I have 5 buttons on sheet 1. I want them to all direct me to another sheet in the same workbook. However, some buttons will contain more than one sheet.
Example: Button 1 will direct me to 4 different sheets. Is this possible?
Also, When I open the workbook, I see many sheets that I am working from but I do not want them to show up when I open the workbook. The only way to see these sheets is to click on the command buttons at the top of sheet 1.
I'm looking to have a doc where people time stamp their start and stop times. I have found that Control(apple) - Shift -semi colon works. The problem i'm having is that I want people to be able to use a command icon in their toolbars for this task as opposed to people have to use the keyboard. I can use a button with a macro but this is not possible as our excel corrupts when there are too many macro's

I recorded this SQL query and got this and a Connection string, the query kind of works but i want to be able to edit more. Can someone tell me what does what in this huge string, i want to be able to edit the MatsViewerView.SpecType and other things like i can edit the lot number=2007312RC (very end of string). P.S. sorry about the formatting, i guess this is what excel does when it records a query onto a macro.
.CommandText = Array( _

I am trying to add aright click menu item a cell.
I am using the following code in a module.
Sub addmenu()
Set nbar = Application.CommandBars("Cell")
Set ntrnew = nbar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
ntrnew.Caption = "Paste In"
ntrnew.Visible = True
ntrnew.BeginGroup = True
ntrnew.FaceId = 110
ntrnew.OnAction = "Test"
To trigger the first code when needed.
I know this all works when I put it in brand new workbook it works my custom menu appears and I can run the the "Test sub"
However as soon as I put this in the workbook where I want this to work it does not show the menu.
It is there though as when I step through the remove Sub I can see it matched and then deleted.
I thought at first it was protection but that is now removed but still no joy.
I can not see any setting that controls these sub menus.
i need to merge several columns together with a comma seperator. but there are some columns with only set of data in and sometimes 6 columns with data. so i end of with something looking like WC,,,,, or GAU,MAJ,CHEM,,, etc.
