I am trying to activate a window and the name of the window to be in a cell. lets say: Windows(file2.xls).Active
I want something like this: The name of the file is in B2 cell in tab Sheet1 in file file1.xls so the line will be like:
Windows(.............).Active
i do not know what function to use.
The bold line below does not work, Word remains the active window. The commented routine is a Chip Pearson API routine to do the same thing, it doesn't work either.
If infobox = vbOK Then
'wordapp.Activate
AppActivate "Microsoft Word"
print_dialog = wordapp.Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show
If print_dialog = 0 Then
AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
'Call ActivateExcel
End If
End If
Basically, I'd like my macro to be activated whenever the value in cell A4 changes. Cell A4 has a numerical value between 1 and 10. The macro clears a contents table. Here it is:
Sub Clear()
Sheets('Form').Select
Range("H4:L10").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
How to get the (module) macro to be activated whenever cell A4 changes value?
I have code that calls a dataform when I click on a command button. Regardless of where I am in the row, the command button is in column A. I want the selected cell to move to column B in the same row so that when the userform displays it will show the correct data. (I have used
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Container.Value = ActiveCell.Value
PONumbers.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
SizeType.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Vessel.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
'etc
End Sub
to populate my userform.
Can I add something in my call code to also select the cell I want? Or alter the initialization code to start at the beginning of that row?
I have an excel file that I want a macro to run when the cell changes to "Yes" (location B21). The cell options right now in a drop down list is "Yes" or "No". The Macro is called helper. How do I get this to work when they pick yes or no from the drop down list. I wanted to attach the file in this post, but it will not let me. I can email it to anyone who would like to work on it.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to combine vlookup and activecell here.
based on value that the user enter it'll activate the first cell on the row.
example:
a1:id
a2:1
a3:2
a4:3
b1:name
b2:josh
b3:alex
b4:ray
the user will input the id, and using vlookup i want to find the id and set the first column as an activecell. So for example the user input is 3, i want a3 to be the activecell.

I have a piece of clip art in a cell (that moves around in the right cell when i filter/sort the data). i need to know how to select/activate the cell that a piece of clip art housed in. is there a way to say at the beginning of the macro to select the cell behind the picture?
Macro works by offsetting a few cells to the left and pulling the name of the item in that row and then going to another worksheet that is named the same thing as what is in the cell i offset to. If i click on the cell behind the picture first then it works but if i have a diff cell activated when i click the picture it of course doesnt work - so all i need is a way to activate the cell behind the picture.
What code do I need to activate a cell by the choice I make in a combo box? I don't want to change the value in the active cell, just want to offset by columns to enter a number in a different column.

I have a lost of questions with a possible yes / no answer that is selected via a checkbox. I now need to change the colour of a specific cell if the number of the answers marked yes is greater than the number of questions answerd no.
E.g.
Question 1)Does 11 come after 10?
Question 2)Does 5 come after 6?
Question 3)Is 20 larger than 15?
I.e. The majority of answers are yes so Sheet1!n4 will be coloured green for example
I have a number of buttons on a daashboard that run different macros.
Is it possible to have the most of the buttons deactivated until a cell on a different sheet has a value in the there (Text or number) turning them active?
Is it posible that when data or text is entered into a cell and the enter key is pushed that this can either run a macro or activate a hyperlink to go to another worksheet for user to follow further instructions?
OR instead of going to another worksheet a pop up message appears with instructions and then can be OK'd to remove message and proceed?

I have some code that filters on blank cells in column D. What I am stuck on, as my knowledge is fairly limited, is how to activate the first blank cell in that column when the filter is on, as the cell # will differ everyday.

I have an index page with hundreds of worksheets (poor spreadsheet design i know) I am looking for a button to go next to the sheet name on the index sheet, read the cell in the button's macro code and when pushed go to that sheet's location. I can easily make a button to go to one sheet but with hundreds of sheets this becomes a monotonous task. Example
Index Sheet
Sheet 2 (Button) <-- Button reads the text, takes you to the "Sheet 2" location
Sheet 3 (Button)
Sheet 4 (Button
Sheet 5 (Button)
How can I add multiple cells (ranges) to a listbox, and when the user clicks one, it will activate that cell in excell. I thought about have the list box for the text, and a corresponding array that holds the actual range or address, but I cant get it working.
Long version:
I have a search feature that, when you type a name, it searches through a column and finds the name. Now if there are multiple matches to your string, I want it to add the full name to a listbox, and have the user pick one from the list to activate.
So basically, if I search for the name "john" but theres multiple people with that name ("john doe", "john smith", & "john mazz"), it would add the three to a list box, I would pick one from the list, and it would activate that cell.
I have everything done except that last part. I have it adding multiple matches to the list box, but I cant figure out an easy way to activate the correct cell when double clicking the item in the list. I could have it search again for the selected full name, but there is likely to be a case where one person is entered twice.
I'm trying find a way in VBA to make a particular cell the top left one in the active window.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm basically creating a file where a userform comes up when you open the workbook, blocks the access to the actual workspace so that no manual entry can be done. What the userform allows you to do is add a new entry to the database (the userform has some text boxes where we type in stuff like location and name or age) after having found the next empty row in the enormous database (3.000 lines)
After having clicked the OK button in the userform and added the data to the database, I would like the userform to have a pop-up message box with specified text like:
"The number assigned to this entry is:" and then I would like to add a variable with excel using the cell in column D of the same row of the new entry. So the end result would be :
The number assigned to this entry is: 01

I have a UDF in Cell Sheet1!A1 that inputs some ranges from Sheet1 and calculates a number. Then I have a sub that calculates the value of this function with Evaluate(Sheet1!A1.formula). However, this only works when I am in Sheet1. Otherwise, I get the wrong calculation. How can I avoid this? I will post the code in the open source forum as it otherwise is quite good and automatically resizes array functions to their proper size.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.
There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.
