I want to include a progress bar in my macro and have got the code from another website. However, after the progress bar is displayed i cannot get it to move to the next line of code in the module. In the example i've got the code in the user form window simply calls a sub called "main" and continues on through that sub. Whenever i call one of my sub routines an error box states" ambiguous name detected". This never happens with the sub called "main"? Why is this happening?
I need to use both of these VBA scripts in my excel project. The first is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Sheets("Sheet2").Range(ActiveCell.Address).Value = 1 Then ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 End If End Sub
The second is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim lScrollRow As Long Dim lScrollColumn As Long Dim lTargetRow As Long Dim lTargetColumn As Long Application. ScreenUpdating = False lScrollRow = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow lScrollColumn = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn..................
When I enter both into the script box and then try to run it, it says that there is a compile error with an "ambiguous name detected "worksheet_selectionchange"
my macros to search for the word "Cancel" in columns "T". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row a certain pattern ( .Pattern = xlGray16)
There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled".
A compile error keeps occurring. It says "Ambiguous name detected: FormatCell"..
I want to include a progress bar in my macro and have got the code from another website. However, after the progress bar is displayed i cannot get it to move to the next line of code in the module. In the example i've got, the code in the user form window simply calls a sub called "main" and continues on through that sub. Whenever i call one of my sub routines an error box states" ambiguous name detected". This never happens with the sub called "main"? Why is this happening? A portion of the code is shown below. After "userform1.show", the user form is displayed but the program will not move on to "get_blades" sub routine?
Browse_Folder ' Sub routine "browse_folder" selected to select folder ' containing the mea files.
UserForm1.LabelProgress.Width = 0 UserForm1.Show
' HourGlass
get_blades (lookinname) ' Use sub routine get_blades
Option Explicit Public Const ARK As String = "Inddata-ARK" Public Const VVS As String = "Inddata-VVS" Public Const KON As String = "Inddata-KON" Public Const EL As String = "Inddata-EL" Public Const LD As String = "Inddata-LD" Public Const KØL As String = "Inddata-KØL" Public Const OpDat As String = "Opdatering"
And then macro's under it... So the aboce is in module "INIT_S". Now in another module "RUN_P" I have a sub-rutine that uses these constants with a select case. Likes this:
Sub OpEksInitNu() Select Case ActiveSheet. Name Case ARK With OpEks 'more stuff Case VVS 'more stuff Case KON 'more stuff End Sub
But when I try to run OpEksInitNu i comes with ambigious name with ARK as the error, later down I use another public constant. But i keep getting the ambigious name error.. What could cause that... I have tried to locate all ARK, VVS etc. to try to determine if it is used later on, but it's not! I only declare the constants one time, and no module is called ARK, VVS etc.
Hello, Im using a script that allows me to autocomplete a data validation list using a combo box and the code shown below. However I am getting a compile error ambigous name detected and the following line is highlighted
"Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)"
I know its because this is used twice but I am not sure what to do in order to fix this.
I need to have this spread sheet date when a cell is changed. I have set up the Visual Basic editor and it works for the column D when updated puts the date in column E.
But I have duplicated what I want for the other columns but I get ambiguous name detected and the other columns do not work my knowledge of macros has hit its limit ...
Compile Error: Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change
How can I resolve this? Is there a way to combine these two (2) statements?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$O$3" Then Range("B2:L13").ClearContents Range("A17:A27").Copy Sheets("Letter").Range("A16:A26").PasteSpecial xlValues Application.CutCopyMode = False End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "TextBody" Then Range("A17:A27").Copy Sheets("Letter").Range("A16:A26").PasteSpecial xlValues Application.CutCopyMode = False End If
I'm running a sheet with three pieces of code (all blagged from these forums thank you) Two of the sub procedures have the same name "worksheet_change which generate an ambiguous name error. This I sort of understand. However I've tried changing the second one of the subs names to "worksheet_change1" and whilst the ambiguous name error goes away the sub routine then fails to function.
I've got two macros that work beautifully apart from one another ... but put the two in the same Excel workbook and they bump heads. I get the infamous "Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change"
I know enough about VB to get myself into trouble. So, I'm asking for help from a talented person to show me how to combine the two ... or another work around to get through this.
Here are the two sets of code in my sheet that I think are causing the ambiguous name problem. How can I work around this error?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim varFind As Variant If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Target.Column 2 And Target.Column 9 Then Exit Sub If IsEmpty(Target) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Set varFind = Columns(16).Find(What:=Target.Value, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole) If varFind Is Nothing Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 Else Target.Interior.ColorIndex = Cells(varFind.Row, 16).Interior.ColorIndex End If End If
During a copy and paste I forgot to change the name of a macro in a module which had many macros. Now when I want to open that file , it hangs and does not open. how to open the file to change the name of the macro and re-save it ?
I was told that the following code would enable my macro to execute every time the user interacts with anything Excel:
Code: ' Repeatedly check for user interaction whenever a change is detected Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Call TestMacro End Sub
It doesn't work...
To put it into context, he is my entire program:
Code: Sub TestMacro()' ' TestMacro Macro ' ' Create string variable Dim undoText As String ' Assign the text to string variable
[Code] ......
My being new to VBA doesn't work in the situation as my programming instincts tell me to set up an infinite loop to continually check for interaction something like the following:
Code: while( x == 1 ) { do MY_CODE; if( USER_CLOSES_EXCEL ) x == 0; } // end while
However, Excel is apparently 'Event Driven' so I'd love to know how to use this to my advantage in keeping my macro running.
Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
I have a Sheet sheet1 and I want to run a macro when the cell D2 in Sheet1 is equal to 10,7,5,and 3. I only want this macro to run when those values are reached the macro then puts the data onto a sheet called wps. The macro is run as a module and is a sub macro.
I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:
[Code] .......
This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.
I have a macro that takes about a minute to run. I would like to add a progress bar to appear once the macro starts running. There are no loops in the macro. What are my options?
I have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.
At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code
[Code] .....
This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call
[Code] ...........
This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.
Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.
I already have a macro made named (PowerPoint) that is saved to the wookbook. I am looking for a way to have this run every 20min. I have tried several differnt things and it did not work. Here is one I found online. I only need it to run when it is open and every 20mins. as long as I have it open.
How do I ask for a confirmation box before running a macro, but only one time. What I mean is some of the macros I use loop and it wouldn't be practical to click on "ok" for each time the macro ran.
So again I just need some code to tack on to the beginning of a couple of my macros that will ask me before they run but only once.
I have the following macro in a worksheet...and it is running very slow. There are other macros in the worksheet and they all run very well. Any ideas by looking at this code why it would be so slow in running?
I have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.
I am trying to utilise a vba script for DNS resolution which i got from Followup: DNS Lookup and Ping in Excel - CodeProject
I have a list of IP addresses that I want to use this on, however if I test this by using the test instructions, excel does nothing, its just text in a cell, so I would like to know how would this procedure get called from the spreadsheet?
Code:
GetHostname("4.2.2.1") in any Excel cell.
or
Use: GetIpAddress("www.google.com") in any Excel cell.
