ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Only Saves One Sheet, Not Whole Workbook
Aug 2, 2006
I have a csv .txt file that I am importing into Excel, and then creating a pivot-table from that data. This results in 2 tabs within my workbook, pivot-table and data. Using the following code does everything I want it to, but when I re-open the saved .xls file I only have the pivot-table sheet. I'm specifying to save the full workbook, aren't I?!?
Sub format_bgas_flowtracer()
Dim v_excel As Excel.Application

I have a macro that creates and saves an XML file with a specific file name. Is there a way to modify this code in such a way that the user will be able to specify the path?
I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"

I have a Workbook containing seven or eight Worksheets. The first Worksheet is a data entry and options selection sheet displaying a selection of Textboxes, Option buttons, Combo boxes etc, the second sheet contains reference data, following these are a number of Worksheets that are calculated and filtered as a result of those options and inputs. A 'print' button on the input Worksheet then runs a Procedure that applies the relevant filters, assigns print areas and prints out the 4 or 5 filtered worksheets. I now want to expand this Procedure to take a copy of just these filtered Worksheets and save them as another Workbook (values only) for subsequent free editting.
I have started by selecting the relevant cells on the first filtered Worksheet, copying, opening a new Workbook, renaming the first Worksheet to match the one I'm copying, PasteSpecial formats, PasteSpecial the values, go back to the original Workbook, select the relevant cells on the next Worksheet, copying, opening the new Workbook, renaming the Worksheet etc etc. Now this seems to be a very labour intensive approach and I'm wondering if there is an easier way and how to do it. Ideally something like... taking a copy of the whole Workbook somehow changing all the cells to values only, rather than formulars then deleting the first two Worksheets (input and data ones).
i am creating an add in that will allow me to display all pivot tables in a workbook, their name, sheet location and source data in al listbox (called LBPivot) on a form (called FrmPivot)
My problem is that i am not sure how to make sure it points the focus to the activeworkbook and not the actual add in workbook?
I am trying to create a macro so that when i save an entry the form sheet looks in the tavela master sheet to see if there is a match on the record number (in the A column) and saves there as an update if it matches and then if there is no match, saves it in the last empty row. this is a column to row copy so it has to be paste special to transpose. also i have a password on the sheet which i use to unprotect then reprotect. i have successfully done these two things separately but cannot combine them! i know not very much about visual basic code just what i have read here and so i am trying to make this code work.
I have a VBA form that the user enters information into and once they click submit on the form the code opens a new workbook and then enters the information from the form into that workbook. What I need is for that code to then save the workbook with a filename from one of the fields entered into the form but I'm not too sure how to do this.
Hello Members, I been trying to save a workbook as the name that will be input into cell B2 and the folder from what is input into cell B6. Without any luck using different codes.
In cell B3 is typed an new name and cell B6 is a list of clients that can be choosen from a selection in a dropdown.
Example, If 250R was input into cell B3 and Honda was selected in cell B6. The new workbook would be placed into the Honda folder with the name 250R.xlsm

I have written a routine that automatically saves the file to a specified folder as the name of a cell from one of the worksheets. I am trying to use the following code to see if that filename already exists and stop the routine if it does. If I manually enter an existing filename the routine works well, however I cannot get it to recognise the automatically created filename, here is my .....
I've got a workbook that I want to keep intact in a central location on our local network, to make it easier for everybody to access, but don't want people to be able to save changes to the master workbook itself. I'd like to be able to disable the 'Save' feature while still allowing 'SaveAs'. The following code (installed in ThisWorkbook) results in the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to accomplish (i.e., it allows 'Save' but disables 'SaveAs'):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveUI Then MsgBox "The 'Save' function for this workbook has " & Chr(10) & "been disabled. Please use 'Save As'.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Save Disabled" Cancel = True End If
End Sub
Obviously I'd also like to check the filename they're performing the 'SaveAs' under and disallow it if it matches the master filename.
I've thought about making the workbook into a template, which would sort of accomplish the same thing, but it would be much easier to just keep it as a workbook.
i am using the macro below to get excel to hide all sheets but the one called "open"...
PHP Sub savemini()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "letmein"
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets If Not sh.Name = "open" Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden Next sh
ActiveWorkbook.Save End Sub
So the workbook is protected with the password "letmein", and the VB code above in theory should unlock the workbook, allowing all visible sheets to be hidden with the exception of the sheet called "open". Then is saves the file.
Now heres the odd bit... it works for certain people, but not for others. I have made sure those it wont work for are not doing anything weird and they are not.
The workbook i am using has a code that only opens certain sheets for certain users. I as a master user have access to all sheets. I can go into the users sheets and click the button that activates the macro above myself and it works fine, but for some users it wont work.
I've created a chart in sheet 1 in a workbook. I want to copy and paste that chart into another sheet (lets take sheet 2) of the same workbook. I am using Excel 2010 version.
Whenever, I try to copy a graph and want to do "Paste Special as Link picture". The problem I am facing as "Paste Link" option is inactive.
I noticed all the code that i have on a userform using activeworkbook will relate to whatever the last active workbook was "who would have guessed hay" Seeing thisworkbook used a lot i decided to go through the whole project and change all activeworkbook too thisworkbook.sheet1 During this i also made a few other changes that i was confident in, When i run it now it errors on the thisworkbook.sheet1. Is this the wrong way of using thisworkbook to make sure the code always deals with the correct file. (will this ever be affected if the file goes through a Save As) Or is it during my over conifedents that i have made a error somewhere else and the debuger is point me here cos it hates me.
I have a userform that presents the user with 4 choices and once they click on one choice a macro runs that filters and formats the data and when the user clicks on the button start over it will reopen the file they were just using prior to the changes occurring. The reason for this is the same spreadsheet is printed up to 4 times with different information (remember the part where the data was filtered?). So basically the user clicks on option 1 the macro runs formating the page and then the user clicks start over (different userform then the first one) and the spreadsheet closes and reopens before the changes.
The way I have excel reopening the file now is by having the user input the file name into a text box and clicking OK this passes the file name to the open code in VBA. How can I tell the code the name of the sheet after the sheet is no longer active (because a userform was made active)? Basically the end goal is for the user to click over and excel will just reopen the file without any user input.
But i want to adapt the "ActiveWorkbook.Sendmail" so I can attach my current workbook as it is, to the email.
Private Sub CommandButton10_Click()
Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim strbody As String Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") OutApp.Session.Logon Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) On Error Resume Next With OutMail .To = "you@email.com" .CC = "me@email.com" .BCC = "" .Subject = "Testing send to multiple emails." .Body = "Please review." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ActiveWorkbook.FullName .Send 'or use .Display End With On Error GoTo 0 Set OutMail = Nothing Set OutApp = Nothing
Dim Msg, Style, Title Msg = "E-mail has been sent " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Press OK to continue." Style = vbOKOnly + vbInformation Title = "Open Issues List" Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt)
I run the macro on a currently open workbook (name could be anything) and open another workbook (name known) and step through the sheets copying various blocks of data across to the first workbook. I need to Activate the 2 workbooks alternatively as I move data back and forth and move from sheet to sheet. What I can't work out is how to determine in code what the "unknown" workbook name is so that I can make sure I activate the right workbook in the code.
I tried Activating the workbook with the "unknown" name and setting a variable = ActiveWorkbook.Name. However the value of this variable changes during the code run when you activate the other book. Is there any way to collect this value and "freeze" it so it won't change as the code runs? At the moment I have got round it by ensuring the "unknown" book is the only one open before I start and refer to it as Workbooks(1) in the code.
I have the following code that is going to trigger an export macro and an import macro allowing the user to upgrade the version of their report;
Sub Upgrade_SLA_Report()
x = MsgBox("Is the file you wish to export from open?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "If it is click yes" & vbCrLf & "If its not click No" _ & vbCrLf & "If you need to abort the macro click cancel", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case x Case 6 MsgBox "Please use the Windows menu in Excel to ensure that the file" _ & "you wish to export from is the ActiveWorkbook!", vbInformation ' Missing step If ActiveWorkbook.Name = ThisWorkbook.Name Then Exit Sub ExpWb = ActiveWorkbook.Name Case 7 On Error GoTo Handler .......................End Select
Problem is, I have a missing step within Case 6 which allows the user to ensure that the file they are exporting from is the ActiveWorkbook.
I am trying to build a macro to be placed in a blank spreadsheet for use as a template.
My development platform is Excel 2003 on Windows XP SP2. The script was initially recorded as a macro against a single data file with absolute range references and worked both on my develpment platform and on the production platform (Excel 2000 on Windows 2000). However, I have been having fits trying to convert it to dynamic addressing for the PivotCaches.Add. I develop Excel solutions a few times a year and this pivot table is the deepest I have dug into OLE code, so I am not an expert and could have a simple problem. I included the entire macro because I am unsure if there are sideeffects to what some of it is doing. I am getting a 1004 error "The PivotTable field is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field."
Since I do not get this error with the absolute references, I am puzzled as to what to fix. That is another reason for supplying the entire macro: ...
I have a workbook that is used by many people on a network- I am editing and saving data throughout the day, and the other users are constantly having to close and re-open thier file in order to have the most recent data. today i came across the '.UpdateFromFile' command in the help file, which would be perfect, if i could only get it to work. im guessing the problem is the expression, which would be the active workbook, but' ActiveWorkbook.updatefromfile' is not working. The file is on the network, remember, im guessing this is the problem. So, im also guessing i just need to get the syntax right for the filename.
I have used a code to find the character "-" and replace it with nothing ("") from several named worksheets across my workbook, which OzGrid helped me with before, and it worked fine. Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work. The rest of the code works fine, and it doesn't come up with any errors when I run it, but it just seems to ignore the 'find and replace' part of it.
Sub split1()
Dim fromSheet As Object Set fromSheet = Worksheets(1) Dim fromRow As Integer Dim toRow As Integer Dim lastRow As Integer Dim errCount As Integer Dim thisSectionName As String Dim i As Integer ' loop counter Dim rng As Range 'found range Dim emptyCellAbove As Range Dim rng1 As Range Dim arng1 As String 'Address of 1st hit rng1 Dim ws(7) As String Dim ii As Integer '2ND LOOP COUNTER Dim iii As Integer '3rd Loop Counter
This piece of code successfully replaces a module in a range of workbooks -
Sub CopyOneModule01() Const strModName As String = "Module1" Dim FName As String Dim vWbkNames As Variant Dim lLoop As Long vWbkNames = Array("CFADS01", "CFADS02", "CFADS03", "CFADS04") With Workbooks("CF266") 'copies from here FName = .Path & "code.txt" .VBProject.VBComponents(strModName).Export FName End With...........................
I recorded the following macro to select all the worksheets in the Activeworkbook by clicking on the first worksheet and then hitting Shift Tab and selecting the final worksheet (thus '[Group] selecting' all worksheets in the active workbook).
End Sub How do you generalise the Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select if the number and names of worksheets varies from workbook to workbook?
