I have written some very basic code to format a report in excel. When I run the code it take a very long time to execute and I receive the following error message at the foot of the page:
Cell (press esc to cancel)
Annoyingly I have had this error before and found the solution on the web but can't remember where. If memory serves my right I deleted some temp files from a specific location on my hard drive?
I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
I would like to add some icons on the left side of excel open file pane to faciliate my work. Because i need to load some files under the same folder many times a day. Does anybody know how to do that? I've seen people has more icons on the pane before. The defaut setting has only 'History', 'My Documents', 'Favorites', 'Desktop' and ' My nutwork places' on it.
How can I disable the cancel button when the user is prompted to do a "save as"? I need to force the user to name the file and save it to the appropriate file - if they are allowed to cancel I run into problems with my macro.
I have a macro that works perfectly to import a text file and parse it. Now i need it to do multiple ones. I import the txt file to a new workbook as i filter for certain data only and if found i copy that to the current workbook. I want to do the same just for many txt files:
The module that you wrote on tracking changes made in a workbook was fabulous I had been looking for so long for that. I was just wondering if there was a way to find out WHO made the changes to the workbook. I am on a network and everyone in my office can make changes to this particular workbook, therefore there are some mistakes. I would like to know who is making the mistakes.
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub On Error Resume Next With Application . ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False End With If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell" bBold = Target.HasFormula With Sheet1.............................
I am unable to add which user made the change to the specific cell. The code used is:
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim bBold As Boolean If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub On Error Resume Next With Application . ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False End With If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell" bBold = Target.HasFormula With Sheet1 . Unprotect Password:="Secret" If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then .Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED", "OLD VALUE", _ "NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", " DATE OF CHANGE") End If..................................................
I'm building my first Add-In, which I'm using to gather all Sub's that I've created through my small VBA writting career. The thing is that when I write new code and some reason exit Excel and forget to save the XLA, obviously the code is lost. I've used:
I have a macro that's running quite well and is cross-posted here:

What I need to do is allow for user input. I want to create a dialog box that pops up and asks for an input range, when the user runs the macro. Values can only be from 1 - 50. And the user won't be allowed to select broken sequences, like 6, 9, 12-15.
They would have to be continuous, i.e. 6 - 15, etc. I'm still very new to VBA. I can play with the control toolbox, but I have very little understanding of how to interface with the components that I'm adding/creating. Once I have that range, I want to use the inputs as the 'start' and 'stop' points for my loop. So I need to capture the values and pass them as input parameters, I'm guessing.
I can modify the loop to accept the inputs, I'm just not sure how to capture them from a user input dialog box.
How can i call the Save As dialog box from a macro, and pre-populate the filename field with a cell value from the workbook? I have tried this code
With Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFileSaveAs) .Name = Sheets("Calcs").Range("b37").Value .Show End With
with the cell reference being what i want to show in the filename box. Each time i run it, i get an error message, "run time error 1004, application defind or object defined error"
I have a workbook with 23 pages, each running a macro to calculate the final "answer". I would like to make the title page comman button create a dialog box, listing the 23 pages/macros with a check-box for each (default is "checked") asking the user which macros / calculations to execute. Any ideas how to do this? I am trying to avoid making this a sheet in my workbook.
When a user tries to save a workbook I want the workbook to display the Save As dialog box. This will ensure that the template is not accidentally tempered with.
I want to be able to have the Save As dialog box come up, but with a File Name already chosen, so that the user can save it as this File Name in any location he/she wishes. I can get the Save As dialog box coming up with my code, but I don't know how to automatically enter the File Name
I am modifying a corporate macro that is used in to create a standard technical letter. This standard file has 6 macros, that once used to create the letter, are never used again. I know, the first thing that jumps out is to create an add-in. I'd prefer not to got hat route at the moment for various reasons.
What I'm looking to do is after the letter is created, and the print macro is called and prints the letter, all macros are removed (already found help for this on this site), then check to see if the file has been saved, or still has the template name, and then either save or bring up the save as dialog box for the user to save the file with the appropriate name and folder.
I am running a macro on startup from a template that opens the File Save As dialog box to allow the user to select a folder and filename and save it before continuing.
I would like it to default to the Q: drive, it defaults to where the template was opened from.
I used
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
to open the dialog, I tried using "Q:" as an argument but it doesn't seem to work. if I try
I have a command button code on a sheet that checks if all the cells in a table have been completed before saving the worksheet. If they're not all complete a userform message box pops up with a reminder then returns to the sheet without saving. I want to be able to call this from the 'BeforeClose' event as well however, even though it still does what it's supposed to do, after the userform message box has displayed and been unloaded then it still pops up the Save Dialog box.
I'm struggling to suppress the Save Dialog box and return to the sheet.
I have the below code to have the user select a pile path and save. what can I add to have the dialog box preselect the file type to macro enabled? the .xlsm extension is not doing it.
['save it under a new name
Dim fPth As Object Set fPth = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs) With fPth .InitialFileName = Worksheets("Project Setup").Range("f19").Text & "_ROM Estimate.xlsm" .Title = "Save your File:" .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList .Show End With]
I have a summary file (I'll call it File A) from which a macro is run. It opens other files, finds a "total line" then copies it into File A. Then it closes that file, opens another, and repeats the process. The macro works fine for most of the files it opens and closes, but on some of them, upon the close command, a dialog box pops up asking "Do you want to save the changes you made to "File B.xls"?
I'm not sure why this comes up as there were no changes made. Cells were only copied and pasted into another file. Is there a way to stop this annoying box from popping up? It slows down the macro by waiting for human input. here is my
I have written a sub to open a txt file, but I want to then save it as Excel, with a filename (a variable). The variable is public, and is set by other subs. I have added the standard "save as..." button to my custom toolbar to use for this and the following code (taken from previous thread)
Public Sub SaveFile(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI = True Then Application.EnableEvents = False Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show MyVariable, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False Cancel = True Application.EnableEvents = True
End If End Sub
But it comes up with the original filename in the save as dialogue and txt file type. Any help would be great, this is used by inexperienced users and I don't want the original file saved as it's prevoius name and type
I currently have the following code that copies a range opens notepad pastes the range opens save dialog and types the file name. The problem I have is with overwriting the existing file.
I wrote a code that is suppose to save the workbook every time a change is made but so far I have been unsuccessful at getting it to work. The workbook contians 7 worksheets.
This is the code I wrote to try and accomplish this task ....
I have a workbook that is shared between 10 users and this work book is known as Master, what I don't want to happen is for one of the users to over write and save it. So is there a way one not allowing the user to save but allow the user to save as.
I have a user form designed and now I would like to be able to program a Command Button to "SAVE" and when it is clicked, I would like to save the results of my fields to another worksheet. I have a defined range that I would like to have the inserted row into?
