From a macro, I am trying to activate the Excel dialgue that occurs when you click on a toolbar item.
Specifically I want the Find item (CTRL-F) to activate. I can use the .find method ok from a macro but I want the dialogue from Excel itself.
Trying to write a VBA code to add a new menu item with submenus on the Standard toolbar when Workbook_Open and then deleting it (_Before close). Just having trouble with the creating of the menu item. Here is what I have so far:
Sub Workbook_Open()
...
Dim menuitem As CommandBarPopup
Set Menu = Application.CommandBars("Menu Item").Controls.Add (Type:=msoControlPopup, Before:=13)
...
End Sub
I am trying to change the caption of a toolbar item but for some reason it does not work.
Application.CommandBars("Format").Controls("Item...").Caption = "I&tem..."
However,
Application.CommandBars("Format").Controls("Item...").Delete
for example works just fine
which of these toolbars provides the better 'controls' to paste onto worksheets (as opposed to UserForms)? For those wondering, both toolbars contain some apparently similar controls, e.g., combo box, radio button, spinner etc. but there are differences in their behaviour it would seem...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using this code and just noticed that it resets all of my options buttons to false when I exit and then re-enter (activate) the sheet with the option buttons.
I see where this is going on, but don't know how to correct it. I only want the option buttons changed to false if
The Sol named range is something other than "Primary Vendor". It seems to call the macro ClearOB whenener the sheet is activated.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
If Range("Sol").Value = "Primary Vendor" Then
For Each OB In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
OB.Enabled = True
Next OB
ClearOB

I have a macro and I want a button on the toolbar, once clicked on the button, I want the macro to run.
Is there any way to do this. If this can be done using add-ins, I doesn't know how to create a button for the same.
I've created a custom toolbar via Excel's toolbar wizard, to which I have added several macro buttons. However, when clicked, instead of running the assigned macro, Excel instead attempts to open my already open file?? I think I read something about having to manually change the buttons to refer to a .xla ??? Not sure though.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to achieve.I'm trying to create a toolbar to have visible in excel which provides me with shortcuts to a selection of functions and some other useful documents.
I've created a document "Toobar 1.xls" in column B of which I have the file locations of the documents I want to open, the documents are moved from time to time and it is easier for other users to update the spreadsheet than vb.As you can see below I've written a piece of code to open up a document, I've created a function because there are a few documents I want to create links to and thought it would be cleaner to do it like this. This code is stored in "Module1" of "Toolbar 1.xls".
I've then created a new toolbar in excel and added a custom menu item and allocated it the macro "Pension_Credit_Calc".
When I run the code from within "Toolbar1.xls" it works fine, however if I try to run it from another workbook I get "run time error 1004". I suspect it's probably something to do with where I've stored my code,
PS. The reason I have not simply created a shortcut in the quicklaunch bar is that I will also be altering the workbooks once opened.

Function OpenUp(FileLocation) As String

I have created some macros that need to be used in several workbooks by more than one users, so I put them in an add-in and gave them instructions on how to get the add-in. I also created a toolbar with buttons calling those macros, attached it to a workbook the users can open, and instructed them to open that workbook once to get the toolbar.
Both the add-in and the toolbar workbook are on a network drive that my users can access, but when they get the add-in, it gets copied to their own add-in folder.
Here's my problem:
When a user tries to click on one of the buttons in the toolbar, the button tries to call the macro using the path that would be valid on my computer to get to my add-in folder. This path includes my user name, so it doesn't go to their own add-in folder: it goes to my add-in folder on that computer if I ever logged in on that particular machine, or it goes nowhere.
When I created the button, I attached the macros by referring to the add-in workbook by name only, without referring to a path, so I don't know why MY path ended up defined on that toolbar.
How can I go around this? I manually relinked all the buttons for that user, and I can do it for the other users (there aren't that many users nor that many buttons), but I'd rather avoid it: I'll have to re-do it if the toolbar is updated and it just seems like more work than should be necessary.
I'm also opened to suggestions on a better way to share those macros. They can't be attached to the workbooks because we use new workbooks every year - they're emailed to us by the people who create them and for a variety of reasons, pasting everything into a workbook of our own is not a good option.
When I try to record macro, the small toolbar which has two buttons "stop recording" and "relative reference" do not appear. I need to turn relative reference on.
Can you please guide me how can I make it visible to turn relative reference on?
I have a custom toolbar containing several buttons which run several macros. Works fine except on exiting the programme and re-opening the workbook, if I try to use the custom buttons I get an error message which tells me it cannot find the ' name of workbook, name of macro' macro I then have to re-assign the macro which has been there all the time but without the file name in front of it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have written a macro. The macro in question simply shows a user form. There is far more code within the user form itself. It is designed to automatically format a workbook.
I saved the macro as an .xlam add-in file to the default folder. I then added a button for the macro to my Quick Access Toolbar. This seemed to work great.
However, when I open a new file that I want to run the macro on, the button disappears. In fact, a 2nd Excel window opens up on my task bar. The original window still has the macro button, but the new window does not.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have finally come up with a macro and would like to install it to around 10 people's "Personal Workbook" in my department. Let me explain a bit further...
We use web-based software which has an "Export to Excel" option which we all use. The resulting data populates into a spreadsheet automatically.
I would like the user to be able to click on Tools/Macro/Run Macro and then run that particular macro. I assume that this macro should be in the "Personal Workbook" so that the macro will be visible no matter what worksheet they may have open?
Can this be done automatically/with a macro or must this be manually done?
I"m using Excel 2003.
Excel Userform
VB:
'enables user to click [U]highlight and select[/U] an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item (same row in index) is also [U]highlighted[/U] (highlighted only not selected)
Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
ListBox2.ListIndex = ListBox1.ListIndex
End Sub
Question: Is it also possible to enable a user to click to select an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item is also selected simultaneously (same row in index). Is there excel vb code to do this?
I think the code may be along the lines of the ListBox SelectedIndex property. What would be the Excel VB code equivilant for the ListBox SelectedIndex property, if so?
I need a macro to add the last 2 items in column G, if they are both positive or negative. If one of the values is either positive or negative, then they must be subtracted.

I am wondering if there is any code to SELECT (DESELECT) A MENU ITEM using VBA? I have an Excel Add-in program installed, which adds a Menu "Easycal" to my Excel menu bar. Under "Easycal" (drop down list), I have the following items:
Refresh workbook
Refresh worksheet
Turnoff Easycal
I am using "Easycal"'s functions in various cells of my sheet "Final". When I select "Refresh worksheet" from "Final", "Easycal" fetches (or calculates) me the data from the "Easycal" database. I have a macro (on "Final") that pulls together data from other sheets of the same workbook. I there anyway to include a code in my existing macro, so that when I run the macro, the following are completed in sequence:
1. Select "Turnoff Easycal" menu item
2. Run my existing macro (to pull the data from other sheets to "Final")
3. DeSelect "Turnoff Easycal" menu item
4. Select "Refresh worksheet" menu item
numberdesc
1_______yellow
1_______yellow
1_______blue
2_______purple
2_______purple
3_______green
3_______orange
4_______black
I need some way that can identify when the item in the description column doesnt match the first item of the same number- for example, here the 1-blue and 3-orange would be flagged because they should match the 1-yellow and 3-green.
I need to do this on a much larger scale (approximately 20,000 data points), so I wanted to create a formula or macro that could do this for me.. I thought making a reference page with would work but I keep getting an error.. I haven't done VBA in a while, so I may have syntax errors.

I am getting close to finishing the drop down menu capability when filling in column L in tab Transactions. However, there is a snag. When I enter part of account say "fin" (the important part here is that the part of the word should not be the beginning of the account name) - then I select an account from the menu - but it does not stay in the cell if the part of the name is the beginning of the account name - all is fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedYou can find attached the workbook I am working on.
In my workbook I have four sheets. Only two sheets are relevant in this case: "Sheet1" and "List". On "Sheet1" there in column A there is big range of codenumbers (highlighted with red).
On the "List" worksheet I have a smaller list (highlighted with green).
I have a code also in module1 but the code is not working.
I would like my macro to do the following. Check the code number from the "List" worksheet (green) and search for it in "Sheet1" column A (red). If this codnumber can be found in column A then leave the number on the green list. If it cannot be found in column A then, delete it from the green list. If you open the file, you can see on the "List" worksheet that there are three code numbers in the green range. The upper and the bottom code number can be found on the "Sheet1" column A (red) range, but the middle number cannot be found. So if the macro would work correctly then it would delete the middle number, and leave the other two untouched!

I can't put the code within the module for this particular sheet as it is dynamically recreated each time the data is refreshed and the code will disappear.
