Activating A Workbook That Was Previously Active

Dec 21, 2009

An Excel file is e-mailed to my company for all the credit card transactions in a given day. Because we manage many stores and each store is a different legal entity and a different fiscal year ending, I need my macro to sort the information and separate the transaction by store and by fiscal year end. I just hit my first block.

I need to open a workbook off the server to grab information for a vlookup formula. I can get the workbook open, but I can't get back to the original workbook or find a way to reactivate it. Because the macro is going to be saved in the "personal" workbook, I can't use the "thisworkbook.activate" code. Also the workbook name and tab name that is emailed to me will always be different so I can't use other solutions that I've seen posted.

Activating An Open Workbook

Jul 17, 2009

This has been kicked around for some time and so far there isn't an answer.

I want to approach it a little different this time.

My users can have let's say 5 separate instances of Excel open.

The user clicks on a macro to open a workbook and I have programmed a message that says "This File Is Alredy Open".

The code I used is: ....

Activating New Workbook That Hasn't Been Saved As Yet

Apr 3, 2014

I am busy with code that filters and copies from a "source file" using dialogue to choose criteria than adds a workbook and pastes filtered information. I than go back to "source file" and do second filter. My question is this newly added workbook changed from book1 to book2 etc everytime the user will run the macro. How do I go about activating the workbook for second and third paste without it being saved?

Here is name code:

[B]Workbooks.Open ("C:Documents and Settingsabek276DesktopSource File.xlsx")

Options = InputBox(Prompt:="Scheme Code", Title:="Options")
Options1 = InputBox(Prompt:="Scheme Code", Title:="Options")
Options2 = InputBox(Prompt:="Scheme Code", Title:="Options")

[Code].....

Copy Data From Closed Workbook And Append In Active Workbook?

Feb 6, 2013

I have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.

However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:

Open the closed workbook-->copy the named range-->paste(append) to next empty cell in column B.

Heres the code that I have got.

Sub Workbook_test()Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("G:WAREHOUSEPlanningSmartNew Training Plan raining plan.xls", True, True)

Making Workbook Opened From Other Workbook Active

Nov 20, 2006

I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.

Hide All Sheets Except Those Previously Visible

Mar 23, 2014

Here is what I think I want to do (however there may be a better way to get to the end result).

Macro 1:
Unhide all worksheets however, first list only the worksheets that are visible.

Macro 2:
I want to be able to hide all worksheets except those in the above list.

My intent would be to have these in the personal file so I could run either process on any file I have open so I think I would need to insert a tab for the list when unhiding & remove the tab after hiding.

I have found many strings unhiding all & hiding all except a named sheet... but can't find anything on the above?

Pasting Into Previously Selected Cells

Mar 24, 2007

I have a set of four sheets that each act as a wall planner type of calendar (one for each team of staff) all in one workbook. I have a sheet that acts as a key where cells on the key display different types of holidays e.g. Annual Leave, Unpaid Leave etc. Normally the user would select the cells where they wish to take the time off against their name and go to the "key" sheet, copy relevant cell and go back to their team sheet and paste. I want to put all this into a macro to be used on a customised button on the menu bar.

I am able to do this with one sheet ( I simply put in the code the name of the sheet that I previously selected) but I don't know how with four sheets. How do I say go back to the sheet I previously selected.

Editing Previously Encoded Data In Userform

Apr 10, 2007

i want my userform to operate like this:
>each time the user opens the userform, he has to choose from the 1st combo box which AREA will he worked on (e.g., Math, English, History). upon selecting, the AREA chosen will populate the choices in the 2nd combo box (e.g. if Math, 2nd combo box will show: Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry).

**thru some posts, this part is already solved. thanks. but this will lead me to my questions.

>1st and 2nd combobox selections (e.g., MATH, CALCULUS) serve as a match. Unique from the other matches.

>upon choosing the match, the user can encode in the succeeding textboxes (he would encode numbers).
**this is in another Userform Which Saves Data To Two Different Worksheets DATA TO TWO DIFFERENT WORKSHEETS

>my userform has an EDIT command button.

***what VBA codes can i use so that when I click EDIT, the userform will display all the matches that I encoded. If I choose the match from such display, all that i encoded which are related to that match will be reverted to the userform so that i can edit it right at the userform?

Validating Cell Formulas Previously Pasted As Text

Nov 5, 2009

I have generated a matrix in excel through iteration (I'm trying to calculate a dinamic covariance matrix between 50 values) which looks like this:.......

A 50x50 matrix. What I have generated in each cell is not the formula, but the text of the formula. Somehow Excel has a valid formula in a specific cell, but "doesn't know yet" that within the cell there is no longer a text. So, to make every formula run, I have to go cell by cell pressing F2, then enter, 2.500 times. Notice that in each formula I don't have something like this:

+"+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)" or
'+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)

but the valid formula: +COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)

Name Of Active Workbook From Add-in

Feb 21, 2008

I have an add-in (MyAddin.xla) that is called from my open_workbook event in my workbook (MyBook.xls):

Private Sub workbook_open()

AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = False
AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = True

ThisWorkbook.Activate

Run "MyAddIn.xla!WbookOpen"

End Sub

I put this in my WbookOpen procedure:

Sub WbookOpen(pWorkbook As Workbook)

MsgBox "Wbook Open Active workbook is " & ActiveWorkbook. Name
End Sub

The message displayed is:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyAddin.xla

I thought this would be:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyBook.xls.
